Fitzgerald took a look at Adrian. Shorts would make this examination easier, but they didn't have any that would fit Adrian, so he grabbed a hospital gown out from under the bed. As he went to hand it the Adrian, the kid gave a shake of his head and stripped down to his boxers. Fitzgerald left the gown sitting on the bed just in case Adrian decided he wanted it later. From what he could see, the kid had some cuts and bruises and was thin, but there were no major physical injuries that he could spot.
"I am going to check over your head, see if you have any bumps or head pain, and then I will let you know what I will do next." He began to feel around Adrian's head the best he could, keeping an eye out for any reactions that might reveal an hidden injury.
With a frown, Adrian gave a small shrug. "I don't need you to tell me. Just do what you need to do and get it over with." He would rather not be here all day. The faster this was done, the faster he could eat something and see his brother, who was hopefully fine. And Eddie. He hoped her examination would go good.
Fitzgerald did as Adrian said and continued to check him over without speaking unless he had a question or concern. Adrian's head and neck seemed fine, but there was an infected cut on his arm. "When did you get this?"
Adrian looked at the wound Fitzgerald was talking about, noticing it was red and swollen and now that he was focused on it he noticed it had an odd smell. "Two days ago. I think." It was a small cut, and compared to Eddie's knee it was nothing.
"I will clean it once I finish the rest of the examination." Before he could continue, the man he sent to check on Seth came back, looking uncertain. With a glance at Adrian, Fitzgerald walked over and the two of them moved a bit farther away so the kid could not here them. After a minute both of them came over to Adrian. "Your brother would not let anyone look him over. I need to finish your examination, though."
Adrian gave Fitzgerald a light push, his eyes cold and unhappy as he looked at the two men. "Why wouldn't he let anyone help him? How do I know you are telling the truth. He was taken away from me and Eddie so I have no reason to trust you. I don't want anyone to touch me until my brother is ok."
The man who had tried to check on Seth was surprised to receive the same look from both the brothers. "Your friend Eddie wants to see Seth also. If I go and get him will you let Fitzgerald finish your exam? All I can do is try, so if he won't come you still have to finish your exam."
"Alright. That is a deal." Adrian watched as the man left and allowed Fitzgerald to continue the exam.

The man had to admit that he was a bit nervous to be going back in the room with Seth. The Russian nearly attacked him last time, but he had hopes that this time would be better since he was offering Seth something he no doubt wanted.
After getting permission to bring Seth to his friend and brother, the guy opened the door and stepped in, hating the way those blue eyes narrowed at him. "If you will cooperate, I have permission to take you to see Eddie and Adrian."
Seth's look changed instantly, all hostility vanishing as he sat up. "Ok."
The guy was relieved and led Seth out of the room and to where Eddie and Adrian were being checked out. He kept a close eye on Seth as they walked just in case the Russian tried anything, but as they walked he realized why Seth had refused medical help. He was looking at a man who had given up. No doubt the only reason he was still here was because of the two people he was currently being taken to.
The guy told Seth to wait, but Seth ignored him and walked past to where Eddie was, sitting down in the chair Adrian had sat in earlier. "You doing ok, Eddie?" To be respectful, he kept his eye on the curtain instead of looking at her.
