William tried not to laugh. “Go home? Michael, you're safe here.”
Michael scooted back. He pulled his legs up onto the chair. “I don’t feel safe.”
William looked him over. He was tied to a chair. He hadn’t had organs in twenty five years. He hadn’t experienced starving in so long. He hadn’t had something thumping in his chest since Baby’s.
It must have felt weird. William didn’t know his son well, but he knew what he felt without organs. Empty… but an empty he’d gotten used to.
“I-I’m thankful for the… organs,” Michael stuttered. “But, I don’t want to be tied up in a basement for the rest of my life.”
William put a hand on his son’s shoulder. He could sense the agony in his veins, rushing and pumping through his newly regained heart.
“I don’t want you to leave,” he said. “You're all I have left.”
William was really hoping Michael forgot all the times he tried to kill him.
“I love you Mike. I want the best for you.”
“Prove it,” Michael said. “Let me go.”
William grabbed a knife from the desk next to him. For a split second, Michael’s expression changed from pain to fear. His lips trembled.
William cut loose the ropes restraining him, then cut loose his hands.
“Thanks dad,” Michael stood up. He almost immediately fell over.
Kelsey ran up to him. “Mike? Are you alright?”
“I’m just… tired and… achy.”
Kelsey helped the man up. Alec grabbed the small box with his illusion disk in it. The purple was beyond stopping, he was stuck as a corpse no matter how many organs you put in him.
Kelsey and Alec helped Michael out of the house and into the back seat of the truck.
“You guys… you didn’t need to come for me,” Michael said as he reached for his earring.
“Nonsense,” Alec protested. “You helped us. You didn’t need to do that. You’re a good person Mike.”
“No I’m not. I killed my brother. I don’t deserve people like you.”
The Stitchwraith put a hand on his shoulder. “You killed one person, by accident, and have helped so many people. I think you’ve more than made up for it.”
Michael didn’t sound like he believed Andrew, but he wasn’t apt to argue.
“Can we get KFC? I’m hungry for the first time in twenty five years.”
“And you want your first meal to be KFC?” Alec asked.
“No!” Jake jumped in. “I say we get cake!”
“Brownies!” Andrew insisted.
“How about we just get food? I don’t really care where, just as long as it’s edible.”
Kelsey hopped in the driver seat, Alec in the passenger seat and the Stitchwraith under the tarp in the back.
