Raindrops and silence was what reached his ears. His body registered pain at every part he tried to move.
Jake groaned painfully as his face remained almost frozen on the merciless, bloody floor. Was this the life his father lived? Would he even make it back to his wife and children alive?
Jake struggled to open his swollen eyes only to be met with the cold darkness. It seemed like he was alone, his mind drifting off to how his father had received a beating from that monster. Watching the torture made his blood boil in anger. Lawrence was an animal.
"Father?" Jake groaned out weakly, trying to locate his father in the darkness. Silence fell, making Jake panic at the thought of his father being murdered by these merciless people.
"Dad?... Dad?" He called, his voice weak but desperate.
A weak groan got his attention, as he prayed for that to be his father.
