Part Eight -- New Place

DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN THIS SHOW!
This story is almost done. I'm writing Chapter thirteen now and that's the last chapter. Again this chapter is short.
Ryan groaned as he woke up again. He noticed he was now laying on a bed. Slowly he sat up. His back, chest, and head ached. He was surprised when he figured out he wasn't restrained. Rosita smiled sweetly as she sat next to him in a chair.
"How are you feeling?" she asked.
"Like I was hit by a bus." Ryan groaned.
"Well I would too if I went through what you did."
"What are you talking about?"
"When you were out, they whipped you and beat you with some 2x4s. The reason why you weren't awake is because they gave you enough tranquilizer to knock out a horse."
Ryan looked down and saw his torso was bandaged up. His shoulder was one big black and blue bruise. He let out a deep breath only to receive a sharp shooting pain. His eye gave a little twitch.
"You've got a few bruised ribs. Nothing that won't heal." Rosita told him.
Rosita pulled a tray of food over to the bed. She reached it with a metal crutch.
"Have some food. You've been here for three days. You have to eat something."
Ryan looked at the food cautiously. The rumbling of his stomach made him take a bite out of the peanut butter sandwich. After he finished the food, he gulped down the water bottle. His throat felt so much better. Ryan took a look around the dull room. All there was in it were two beds, a chair, and the tray. Three windows were in the room but they had bars over them. He noticed Rosita now had on a knee brace (she's now at the other bed).
"How did you know how to do this?" Ryan asked pointing to his torso.
It took a while for Rosita to get what he was talking about, "My aunt. She's a doctor back in Maine."
"Maine?"
"On my mother's side. She's an American. Probably why I don't talk a lot of Spanish."
There was an awkward silence before Rosita spoke again, "Your friends… are they coming for you?"
Ryan was a little shocked from the question, "They're coming for us."
On the other bed, Ryan saw Rosita perk up.
Sorry if it's short. The next chap shall be up soon!
