   Summary

   Arthur and Javier don’t find John in chapter one, but O’Driscolls do.

   —“oh my Lord…” Arthur’s knees buckle and time slows down.
   There’s a chorus of reactions around him. Charles drops the axe, shaking hands coming up to cover his mouth. Javier drops his knife and steps forward, staring wide eyed like he can’t believe what he’s seeing. Sadie swears and turns away. Bill takes a step back, eyes bulging, face contorted in disgust. Lenny sputters, gasping in horror.
   His breath catches in his throat, a shrill sorrowful cry cuts through the air, it comes from him. His hands clasp the sides of the box so tight it feels like his fingers would snap. His vision is blurred instantly, but the sight of John was burned into his brain. It’s all he can see.
   “Goddammit!” Arthur cries out, “oh Johnny no…” What have they done to him?
