elijah, murphy (backdated to about a month after murphy was taken)
Usually Adam kept Parker in the middle of Elijah and Murphy, but probably as en effort to make Murphy feel as if he belonged and to hopefully form some sort of a bond with Elijah, he'd put Murphy in between Elijah and Parker. It was the first time that Elijah had ever been moved, and it felt strangely exhilerating to be in a new area, even if it was the same old basement.

Elijah was infinitely curious about the newest boy, and he'd been bombarding Parker with all sorts of questions. The first month Adam had kept Murphy scarce because of his asthma, and the last week Murphy had been sort of out of it since he'd tried to run away. Running away was always something that Elijah thought about trying, but he was too afraid. Parker had told him that they were in the middle of nowhere, and with Elijah being blind, running wasn't an option.

Murphy had been asleep while Adam helped Elijah move his things to the next cell over, and Elijah listened with rapt attention while Adam moved Murphy's things over. After that, he'd taken Murphy upstairs for a while, and left Elijah and Parker alone. After talking Parker into telling him a story, Elijah had curled up on his bed and drifted off to sleep. When he wokeup, Parker was now upstairs, and Murphy was back in the basement. Elijah could tell that Murphy was back because his breathing sounded a little different than Parker's, and he could tell that Parker was gone because he couldn't hear his breathing at all. Being blind, Elijah had a rather acute sense of hearing.

He scooted to the edge of his bed and let his feet dangle over the edge. He was wearing a pair of navy button up pajamas. Adam put everything of one color in the same drawer so that Elijah would always match because the boy was self concious about looking ridiculous since he couldn't see himself and what he was putting on.

"Is Parker with Adam?" he asked after a moment, his voice quiet and uncertain.
