<b>The </b><b>Son </b><b>of </b><b>Red </b><b>Fang </b>
<b>Chapter </b><b>115 </b>
<b>“</b><b>Dad</b><b>, </b>you said earlier that those of us that have seen the injuries on Cole haven’t seen the full picture. I saw his cheat and abdomen when we hirerrupted i <b>dream </b>of his this morning. His injuries looked painful and raw.”
“Your mom saw the same thing Damian. The only thing Pat saw was the burn
on
his leg.
“He’s been burned?” Lilly whispers in shock.
“He is in a lot worse shape than anyone knows. I’ll tell all of you what I told Xavier, I’m not certain that we’ve even found everything that’s going on with him but I can say this is one of the worst cases of abuse that I’ve seen in the ten years that I’ve been working with the warrior program<b>.</b><b>” </b>
“What have you found Demetri? Like you said, I only saw a nasty burn on his leg.”
<b>I </b>sigh as I pull out the picture I printed off of his chest.
“The cuts and bruises that are crossing his chest we have also found on his back, bottom, the backs of both thighs, his abdomen, across the front of his left thigh and his groin.”
Everyone stops eating shortly after I finish this first–list of injuries.
“What the hell did he do?” Dominic finally asks his first question.
“Haven’t you been listening?”
Damian and Pat exim at the same time <b>as </b>Damian hits Dominic in <b>the </b><b>head </b>with a roll. Ordinarily I would find such actionical but I’m dealing with too much tonight to do much more than scowl.
“The physical injuries that we’ve found <b>so </b>far today all stem from a single beating that happened three days ago. In regards to what he did, this is the physical punishment he received when Luna Sasha used him of assaulting her.”
“I’m sorry, Demetri. I guess <b>I </b>didn’t put the two together.”
Dominic rubs the back of his neck sheepishly.
“Wait. Patrick said all he saw was a burn on his leg but Damian and Lilly saw these cuts and bruises. How many injuries does he have?”
“Quite a few. We found arge ck bruise on his back. If you look closely you can see the outline of a belt buckle with some of the hits that strayed outside of the concentration along his ribs. X–ray revealed that he has two cracked ribs beneath that bruise<b>.</b>”
I float the picture of his back towards the middle of the table.
“He doesn’t know what caused the burn on his leg but Ang was able to pull fluid from the burn before we put him in a twilight sleep to do a debridement surgery. She believes that the burn came from silver based on the level of infection she immediately saw. Further tests done on the tissue we removed confirmed that it was indeed a severe second degree chemical burn caused by silver<b>. </b>Based on the look of it, we believe some sort of silver band or belt about an inch wide was tied tightly around the middle of his thigh.”
I float the before and after surgery pictures onto the table. At this point everyone is engaged in the pictures, passing them around the table while hearing about Cole instead of eating.
“ording to Das, Cole’s punishment started with his father grabbing him in a submission hold. I’ve never left, let alone seen such a bruise.”
I keep getting stuck on the picture of his neck. It takes me a moment to let the picture go, causing everyone to look at me, trying to understand where <b>I’m </b>at mentally with Cole. I ce the picture of his neck gently in the center of the table where I put the others.
“Cole attempted to get away but ended up caught by his dad which resulted in his dad kicking him over a dozen times in his abdomen. When we discovered his abdomen we did an ultrasound and while he has no internal bleeding his liver is erged and inmed which Dr. Pierce has diagnosed as a bruised <b>liver</b>. He has bruises surrounded by cuts around both wrists where he became so desperate to protect himself during the beating he broke the chain that <b>was </b>holding him and he has simr cuts and bruises as his back and chest to his forearms and shins.”
<b>I </b>ce thest of the pictures on the table. The only ones I left out <b>were </b>the ones of his privates and bottom. I couldn’t bring myself <b>to </b><b>disgrace </b><b>him </b><b>in </b>
<b>that </b><b>manner </b>
<b>Keep </b><b>in </b>mind that this is just his physical condition from a single beating that happened three days <b>ago </b>
