Reed tore into Johnny's room with Ben's thundering footsteps only moments behind him, and nearly crashed into Sue who stood white-faced, just inside the doorway. She turned to them slowly, a look of utmost horror etched onto her beautiful face. Sobs shook her body and she was emitting a high keening noise in the back of her throat. Reed took her by the arm and gently pushed her into Ben, who made a weak attempt at getting her to look at him. In their haste, they failed to notice the figures quietly exiting through the window.
'Suzie? What's wrong?' Ben asked, trying to grab her attention. Shakily she looked up at them and then pointed at the bed.
Johnny lay naked on the bed, his wrists bound to the posts, one of which looked broken. A deep gash traveled across his midsection along with multiple and crudely sewn knife wounds. One ankle was clearly broken, and the shoulder that he had previously relocated, had been damaged once more. His face was pale and his lips blue as though he were extremely cold. Dark bruises covered any flesh that wasn't already lacerated and bleeding. Blood, along with a thick, white, slightly transparent substance, coated the inside of his bruised legs.
'Oh my god,' Reed whispered, moving slowly to the bed, 'Ben, take Sue and call an ambulance.'
'But…' Ben began.
'Just do it, Ben!' Reed snapped, frantically searching for the pale boy's pulse. Finding one, he fell to his knees, dropping his head onto the bed, quietly sobbing. Ben's giant hand clamped down on his shoulder briefly, and then he was gone, heavy footsteps echoing down the hall.
