It was the morning after Kellen got back from the gym that Kellen found Rhys sitting at the island, staring at a cup of tea with a blank look on his face. When Kellen came into the apartment, Rhys looked up before he gave him a smile. It wasn't his normal one, and Kellen knew that something wasn't quite right.
"Hey. What happened?" Kellen asked, moving towards Rhys and placing his hand on his shoulder. Rhys sighed, placing his hands over his face as he let out a deep sigh.
"I didn't want to tell you last night because you went out for dinner with your parents, but…they're dead. All of the people we captured. They had hidden poison on them and Hill…Well, let's just leave it at that." Rhys said. Kellen felt his gut twist.
That wasn't good. If he said it like that, that told him that some of them hadn't died that way. Kellen pulled out the stool next to him and sat down, taking Rhys' hand in his own and giving it a comforting squeeze.
