Summary
The restraints will hold. Matt has a hard time picking out different sounds against the background of hospital rush at the best of times, the faint creak of wheels and the electric hum of monitoring devices and the endless restless quiet, but he can hear the straps and the cuffs, the sticky shift of the plastic ties at Frank’s wrists — the sticky shift of the bones in Frank’s foot — the way that Frank’s breathing catches just a little, wet, on every exhale, on the blood in the back of his throat. Once Matt notices, he can’t help but listen.
