"I'm not gonna do much talking with her, I will kill her." Alicia said as Solomon disappeared. She quickly covered Holden up and went to get him some food. "I hope he will be hungry when he wakes up he hasn't eaten all day." She said making sure the hotel room was locked.
"Oh jeez, you scared me Solomon." Steven said with a smile. "What's wrong is Holden ok?" Steve asked very worried.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon smiled apologetically, "Sorry, and..well..I don't think she needs to hear this..think you could leave her with Evelin?" He glanced down to the girl, knowing she'd be okay. Evelin probably thought she could never do any wrong.

[Bovice]

"No, I can't but my sister is in the family waiting room. I can have her watch her, but first is this about Holden?" He asked worried.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon nodded, "It is..I know I'm only a stranger, but I'm hoping you can still believe me." "Is Holden still out Ali? He's going to be very upset with me when he wakes up." He lifted his left hand from his pocket, running it through his hair, "I'll meet you right here, alright?"

[Bovice]

"I will listen to you." He walked by Solomon. "I will be back in a second." He said walking to the elevator. "I hope Holden is ok." He thought to himself as he got in the elevator.
"He's coming around actually, and I don't think he will be. I think he wont remember." She said sitting on the bed.

[Evil Tink]

"If you can convince him that he stressed himself unconscious, I would greatly appreciate it." He leaned up on the wall waiting for Steve to return.

[Bovice]

"He might already think that but I will do everything in my power to have him think that." Alicia said feeling Holden's head.
After a few minutes Steven made his way back to Solomon. "So what's wrong with Holden and I want the full truth Solomon." Steven said crossing his arms.

[Evil Tink]

"I would never lie to you Steve..walk with me." He led Steve down the hall and eventually to the front door as he spoke, "You seem like a very good man Mr. Evans, and that's why Holden could never tell you this." He led Steve to the nearest bench outside. He hated being inside hospitals and decided to bring the conversation outside. "I don't know if you were ever aware and just denied, or whatever it is you do, but Evelin was abusing Holden."

He sighed, sitting down on the chair, remembering Holden's face when he thought of the past abuse from his mother. Solomon clenched his fists, his nails cutting into his palms causing them to bleed a bit, "I don't know of the entire extent of it, but he told me a few things. She would insult him, hit him with her hand and lamps, and pans..anything really I guess. She also pushed him down the stairs, putting him into an extended time of unconsciousness..two weeks to be exact." His knuckles became white as he continued to push his fingers into his palms.

[Bovice]

Steve nodded and fallowed. "Thank you for that." He said. "I had an inkling, especially since I saw what happened earlier tonight. I just knew if it was true I would never get the truth out of either one of them." Steve said sitting down. "She just said he fell down the stairs. She must of paid the doctors off. Oh my god I'm a terrible father." He said throwing his head into his hands and started to cry.

"Wha... What happened?" Holden asked sitting up.
"Slowly Holden." Alicia said quickly running over to him. "You passed out from being under so much stress." She said trying to keep him calm.
"Wheres Solomon?" He asked looking around.
"He went out." She said trying not to let on that he was talking to his dad. "Solomon, Holden is awake." She said to Solomon as she stood up. "Are you hungry?" She asked.

[Evil Tink]

"I'll be back shortly." Solomon moved to put his hand on Steve's shoulder, but decided not to, since they were coated in a tad bit of blood, "You are not a terrible father. Holden just couldn't tell you..he felt you would be disappointed with him and he couldn't break your heart like that. Our friend, Alicia, is watching over him for the moment...and he seems to be alright, but she's really damaged his mind." He folded his hands in his lap, the wounds healing while they were out of Steve's sight. "Just because he's..not normal the eyes of her stupid fictional God."

He sighed deeply, "I just..don't know if I can..repair him. The damage is extensive." He quickly shuffled a cigarette from his vest pocket, lighting it with his black lighter. He took a long drag, leaning back on the bench and exhaling.

[Bovice]

"I could never be disappointed in him, I am very proud of him. He knows who exactly he is." Steven said a little upset. "Alicia is a very good person. I will pay any amount of money to get him better." He said rubbing his temples. "I've never believed in god." Steven said trying to think. "Can I bum one from you. I haven't smoked since Holden was born, but cigarettes are better than alcohol." He said leaning back as well. "I'm already in the process of divorce, and getting custody of our daughter." He said grabbing the cigarette.

"I don't know, did anything else happen?" He asked looking at the door.
"No why?" Alicia asked looking confused.
"I swear I saw Solomon over there and he said he was sorry, then I was out." Holden said trying to figure out what was going on.
"No he didn't, he kissed you then you said something and then passed out. One reason could be because you haven't eaten at all today." She said grabbing the tray of food and bringing it to the bed. "Now eat." She said demanding.
"Ok." He said still confused. "Where is Solomon again?" He asked taking a bit.
"He went out to get me and him some blood." She said hoping he would believe them.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon shook his head, "A professional psychiatrist is not what he needs. I've dappled with psychology while I was in London, and he's going to need the people he trusts to support him. I know you already do, as does Alicia, but I think he's going to need to think that Evelin supports him as well to fully recover from this." He took another drag, then looked over at Steve, "I can tell you where we're hiding him and take you to him if you'd like, but of course, Evelin cannot know."

He sat forward, flicking the extra ash to the ground, "I only wish I could've met Holden sooner...perhaps I could've save him from a few years of that shit." Solomon was obviously distressed, even though he'd only met Holden today..well..yesterday perhaps..he could've sword it was about midnight now. It was about 5 or 6 when he snuck into Holden's room.

[Bovice]

Steven lit the cigarette and took a long drag. "I see. Are you gonna take him back to England with you, I think it would be better for him if he is as far away from his mother." He said taking another drag. "I will support him all I can, I love him, I can't believe I didn't do anything sooner." Steve said flicking the ash off of the cigarette. "I would like that, and wont tell her a damn thing." He said making a fist with his free hand. "Solomon its not your fault, its mine if I would of asked earlier or something most of this wouldn't of happened." He said putting his hand on Solomon's shoulder. He looked at his watch. "Wow its already one a.m.? I need to call work and tell them I wont be in today will you give me a minute? Then can you take me to Holden?" He asked standing up.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon nodded, taking quite a long drag from the cigarette, "I was planning on it, if it was okay with you. Seeing as it is, I'll probably be leaving once his mind's a bit more settled. If you ever want to visit, I'll leave you my cell. I'll buy your tickets; round trip. You can even bring Amanda, if the two of them usually get along." He smiled slightly and nodded, "Of course, take your time. He might be resting now anyway." "Alicia, I'm bringing his father over..just for a bit...Is Holden doing any better?"

[Bovice]

Steven smiled, "You don't have to buy my and Amanda's ticket's I can do that myself." He said still smiling. "Even though there is a fifteen year age difference between them they do get along actually." He said nodding.
"He's actually confused right now, but once he see's Mr. Evan's he is probably gonna freak out a little." Alicia said still watching Holden. "Holden I want you to settle down everything is fine." She said giving him a reassuring smile.

"Something isn't right, I can feel it." Holden said looking around.
"Damn it Solomon he's paranoid, that's one reason I don't like knocking out human's." She said trying to think of something to calm him down. "Holden grab your knees." "That always works." She thought.
Holden did as she told him and he felt a little better.

[Evil Tink]

"You and me both my dear." Solomon sighed and stood, straightening his vest, "Well, that's good. I hope you drove here? I walked..soo.." He placed his hand on the back of his head looking away, "And by the way, you're wife is going to try to tell you crazy things about me..she's lying. I don't know what she'll say, but she said she'd make me look like the fool I am for being an abomination." He shrugged, "Oh well."
