Summary
Laurent had been stuck at the police station for seventeen hours and fifty-six minutes.
Six hours and twenty-one of them had been spent sleeping with his back to the wall, curled up on the plastic-y, too-short couch in the office of the Special Victims Unit chief, trying to ignore the officers who peeked in periodically to make sure he was still breathing.
The other eleven hours and thirty-five minutes had been spend doing fuck all.
People in business-casual clothes with badges around their necks or on their hips or in their back pockets kept asking him if he was doing alright. He’d stopped answering them fourteen hours and twenty-nine minutes ago. One of them had brought him McDonalds, twice. Another had brought him a book from home.
It wasn’t really home anymore. It hadn’t been for a long time.

A little over two years after Auguste is sent to prison, Laurent's uncle is arrested and charged. Laurent, alone and facing foster care with strangers, calls the only person he might be able to trust—Auguste's old friend, Damen.
