when Malcolm was twelve, he had a best friend  — and his best friend saved his life. when he was taken from his family, taken from everything he ever knew, it was the memory of them that kept him going. and one day, he swore, he would find his friend again. finally having escaped from his new owners, Malcolm tracks Adrian down.

but ten years of brainwashing and of being the subject of experimentation have left their marks — both physical and mental. he doesn't know what to do with Adrian, except protect him.
