I was feeling somewhat dazed and out of sorts after my encounter with Kent and his brother. Now I knew why they had only counted six rescued boys when they had taken seven from captivity. Kent explained that they didn't count Nico, his brother, as having been saved. I couldn't argue with him. Nico hadn't been saved, he had just been trapped in a different kind of prison. And now I understood the sadness in his eyes when he looked at the other boys who had been saved, and why he took saving everyone so seriously.
I didn't want to go back to my room yet, and it wasn't time for us to eat lunch, so I was trying to figure out what to do. It didn't take me long to settle on going to the library. I figured the boys would be there and it had been fun spending time with them yesterday. Plus I could get a look at some of the books in there. I wanted to start reading the books Artem had bought me as well. Things were actually starting to be fun for me.
