Sir bought Carter. He knows he did. Carter remembers. Sir bought him, and sir is keeping him. He promised. Sir doesn’t get rid of the things that belong to him, and Carter belongs to him.

That wasn’t a dream.

He isn’t supposed to be here.

He isn’t supposed to be here.

He isn’t supposed to be here.

Carter isn’t supposed to be here.

Looking around the darkness, Carter tries to search again. This time for the man he knows should really be here. “Sir? Where are you, sir?”

Nothing.

“Stop it.” That voice.

Casey.

It’s Casey.

“Don’t call for him, Carter. Stop.”

Carter ignores Casey. He’s a liar. He’s trying to trick Carter.

Sir is real.

Carter knows it.

“Sir?”

“You’re letting the bad guys win,” Casey accuses. “Why are you letting them win?”

“Shut up!”

“We said it’d be okay. We promised Elliot. But it was a lie.”

“We had to,” Carter argues, ending his search just in case this is real. Just in case he’s really gone crazy, and sir was never a man who existed. “Casey, we had to. Don’t you understand? We had to tell Elliot that. He needed to relax. He deserved to relax for just a fucking minute.”

There’s a low voice then. Dark. Dangerous.

It’s not Casey.

“Sweetheart, what are you doing?”

“Don’t answer him,” Casey hisses. Carter jumps at how close the boy suddenly is. He still can’t see him, but he can hear him right in his ear now. He can feel Casey’s breath on his skin. The heat coming off him in waves is the only source of warmth in the darkness. “Don’t, Carter.”

“He’ll be mad if I don’t,” Carter growls.

Casey scoffs. “You just don’t want to disappoint him. You fucking like pleasing him, don’t you?”

Carter doesn’t answer that.

He doesn’t want to talk about sir anymore. He doesn’t want to admit to Casey that every fiber of his being wants to run to the man right now. He doesn’t want to admit that the moment he heard sir’s voice, he felt like he could fucking breathe again.

He doesn’t want to admit that Casey is fucking right.

“You’re with the bad guys. You’re helping them win now.”
