Chapter 6
Brian stumbled when the guard pushed him threw the door, I ran over to help him up, "my god Brian what did they do to you" his face was one massive bruise and he was holding his right arm close to his chest.
"They thought I needed a going away present" he croaked.
"Dom help me get him over to those chairs."
Brian head snapped up at the mention of Dom's name.
"Hey Brian, I would ask you how you are but I can all ready tell, you look like shit" Dom joked as he helped me get Brian over to the chairs where I could look at the damage that they had done to him.
Laughing and the groaning from the pain "what are you doing here man?"
"Hey I had to be here; your family" was all Dom's answer.
"Dom about the cop thing" Brain started but Dom cut him off "its ok man, Joilee explained everything, so no more talk about it, all's forgiven"
"Ok now that we have the Hallmark moment out of they way how about we need to get you out of here and to a hospital"
"I don't need a hospital" argued Brian as they where helping him out to the car.
"Brian Joilee's right, look man you can barely walk, ii won't hurt to get yourself looked at, besides Mia will kill us if we don't take you"
Brian stopped in his tracks, god Mia I hadn't stopped thinking of her this whole time, what if she hated me.
"Brian what's wrong"
"Mia does she hate me for lying to her"
"No Brian, she has stopped mopping around the house since things went down. She loves you man"
"You're sure that she still loves me"
"Brian the girl has been spending all morning trying on outfit after outfit, so she would look good for you, if that isn't love then I don't know what is" I told him as we helped him into the back of the car.
While waiting for the doc to finish looking at Brian, Dom and I talked about what Brian had to endure while he had been in prison. "Look I won't lie to you cops don't get the best treatment, in fact the guards and the other prisoners go out of their way to make a cops stay a worse than hell."
"You think that's what they did to Brian" I asked although I already knew the answer.
"Yeah I do, I can imagine he got a beating quite regularly"
When the doc came out to tell us about Brian he confirmed Dom's suspicions
"I don't know how your brother made it that long, he has multiple scars from previous beatings and their are still bruises left over from the time before this one. He has three fractured ribs, a fractured arm and a mild concussion; I would like to keep him over night for observation but he his refusing, so you may take him home. Make sure he get's plenty of rest for the next few days, tonight you need to wake him up every hour just to make sure that everything is ok. He needs to come back in two weeks for a check up."
"Thank you doc for everything, we will make sure that he follows you instruction."
We walked into the room and saw Brian with his arm in a cast struggling to get his shirt back on. Laughing at him I walked over to help "he bro you ready to get out of here and go home"
Smiling for the first time in months Brian answered "yeah home sounds good."
