    Summary

    Colt, for the most part, avoided telling him about how dangerous so many of his stunts were, because he knew Ryland better than Ryland knew himself and he knew that he didn’t like that Colt was put in those kinds of situations. The only way he really knew was when Colt made it back to the apartment after a movie had wrapped to see scabbing scrapes and stitches and on one memorable occasion a broken arm that Colt had sulked about the entire time he had it in a cast.

    So a hospital calling about him meant it had to be serious.

    --

    The road to recovery is long and hard, but Ryland is dragging his brother along and he doesn't get a say in the matter.

    “Ok, ok! Listen, I really can’t talk about anything... but there might be a possibility that extraterrestrial life forms exist, and I may or may not be in a facility studying said life form…”
