Chapter 3: The other boy has no family

Riley's POV: Jasper and I we're both put in the same hospital room after the doctors looked at us. We both looked at the detective as she came into the room. "Jasper, I have some bad news." She said, 

"What is it? Did something happen to my parents?" He asked worried. 

"Jasper there's no easy way to tell you this... your parents are dead." She said. Jasper stared to cry and he asked, 

"How? Why?" 

"When you where an unsolved case, and we stopped looking... we told your parents that you where dead and they... they killed themselves Jasper." She said sounding apologetic. "Do you have any other family that you want us to call?" She asked. Jasper shook his head, 

"No I was adopted, my real parents died in a car crash after I was born." He said through the tears.

 "Can he come with me?" I asked. She sighed, 

"Well, you two have been through a lot together... I'll talk to your parents about it Riley." She said. I thanked her and she left the room. I was comforting Jasper when my parents came into the room with my twin brother Raven, and my older brother Jake. 

"Hey little dude." Jake said looking at me. I looked at Raven and saw that he was going to cry, 

"Yeah Rave, it's really me." I said knowing what he was thinking. He said nothing, he hugged me tight and started to cry, "I thought I was all by myself Riley!" He cried. I hugged him tight and said, 

"We're twins I'll never leave you alone." Making him laugh. 

"Riley." I looked up to see my mum and dad where both crying. 

"Who's this?" Jake asked looking at Jasper. 

"The other boy," I said, 

"I'm Jasper." He whispered.

 "Jasper the detective told us about your parents." My mum said. 

"You can live with us." She said giving him a hug. My dad was talking to Jasper with my mum and I was talking to Raven when I noticed that Jake was staring at both of us. 

"What?" I asked him annoyed. 

"Doesn't that hurt?" He asked pointing to my back. I gave him a confused look and then looked as Jasper who looked at the floor. 

"Oh my God you can't even feel it anymore." He said crying. 

"Feel what?" I asked again. Jasper turned around and showed me his back through is hospital gown. There were long, deep scratches going down his back. 

"He only did it because you screamed." I mumbled, 

"Then what are yours from you never screamed!" Jasper asked. "I wasn't as good as you... he told me you where his new favorite, then he scratched me with his knife and told me how great you where. " I said bitterly. "

So why can't you feel it if he never hurt you before?" He asked. 

"He used to hurt me all the time." I mumbled, "I didn't stop screaming until I was there for three years. I became immune to feeling pain in my back. That's why when he clawed me, I didn't feel it... and I still don't." I said. Jasper looked at the ground apologetic. 

"Oh." He said. 

"Favorite? Riley where there others other than Jasper?" The detective asked me. I nodded, 

"Yeah, there was another boy who used to be kept in the basement with me. His name was Kage, he was there when I got there." I said looking at the floor. 

"Kage Carl?" The detective asked. "Yeah, I think that was his name." I said, "Why didn't he escape with you? Did you leave him there?" The detective asked. I stayed silent. 

"Riley?" Jasper whispered. "He died." I said sadly. Everyone looked at me apologetically. 

"How?" The detective asked me. I gulped and didn't take my gaze off of the floor, 

"He killed him, he beat him to death. He killed Kage." I said as I started to shake and cry. 

"Who is he Riley?" The detective asked, 

"He told me to call him dad." Jasper said. I shook my head, 

"He told me to call him my owner." I mumbled. 

"Do you have a name?" I shook my head in defeat. 

"We don't know his name." Jasper said, 

"But we do know what he looks like, I know what his car looks like too." He added. 

"Riley saw him more than I did though." The detective looked at me and said, "Riley, tell me what the man looked like." 

"He has a son." I blurted out and then covered my mouth. 

"He what?" Jasper asked. 

"His son, he brought me food." I stated. "Oh yeah, he was so nice and every time he brought us food he'd say he was sorry for his dad's actions." Jasper said. 

"This guy has a kid, why didn't the kid do anything to help you two?" Jake asked. 

"He couldn't, he didn't have a key, a phone, nothing, all he could do was give us food, with out him we would've starved to death." I stated. 

"What did this boy look like?" The detective asked. 

"The boy had jet black hair and green eyes, he was extremely pale and thin, he had scars all over him." Jasper said. 

"And the guy?" I looked at Jasper and bit my lip. 

"He has green eyes, brown, short hair, and he has a scar across this face." Jasper said. I started to cry, 

"Riley don't worry we're going to find him." The detective said, 

"What are you going to do to his son?" I asked concerned. "We'll get to that when we get to that. For now, you get to go home again, with your family and with Jasper." The dective said making me smile I nodded and said, 

"Okay." Before the detective left the room with my family to fill out mine and Jasper's discharge papers.
