Well, Leonard certainly wasn't going to argue with that assessment. He was sure that that having that happen was an entirely unique feeling unto itself, but at least he as going to be okay.

And as he started to explain what had happened, what he had seen in his medical records started to make a lot of sense. Abuse. All the classic signs. He hoped that they were able to get the bastard for attempted murder because it was obvious that this had been going on for far too long.

"You crashed near our home," Leonard told him. "We heard you go into the tree, so I went to help ya while Tonia called the ambulance. Good thing too. God knows how long it might've been since you were found, otherwise."

He didn't, of course, tell him that he'd been told it was important that he help him, for whatever reason. The kid had been through enough that day.

"Do you want us to see if we can track down your mom?" he asked since he had said he had been leaving to go find her.
