Chapter 2: Searching For The Problem:
It was now almost two o' clock in the morning and Bobby was going out of his mind. Jack had not come home since he went for his 'walk' early that morning. Bobby, Angel, and Jerry had gone all around town looking for him but he was no where to be found. Bobby hated to admit it but he was worried that something had actually happened to Jack. He was just about to go out looking for Jack again but the door swung open; almost hitting him. In walked Jack, barely able to stand up, let alone walk home from where ever he had been all day.
"JACK!", yelled Bobby. "I'm going to fucking kill you. I'm gonna----"
Bobby stopped dead in his tracks when he clearly saw Jack. Someone had beaten the shit out of him. He had a black eye, a bloody nose, a split lip, and a deep cut over his left eye. Bobby's anger melted away and he suddenly felt worried again. He led Jack over to the couch and sat him down.
"Jack," he said softly. "What happened to you? Who did this?."
Jack shook his head and turned away. He didn't want to tell anyone what had happened. He's life was too screwed up and he wanted it all to go away.
"Come on Jackie, you gotta tell me."
Jack shook his head once more and Bobby sighed; starting to get a little agitated but tried his best not to get mad because if he did, Jack would get scared and wouldn't say anything at all.
"Please, Jack. I promise I won't get mad and I won't go out looking for this guys and start trouble. Okay?."
Jack nodded, took a breath and began to explain.
"I went for a walk and then after I went to…..I went to……."
"What Jack?," Bobby persisted. "Where did you go?."
"I went to Johnny Drako's place," Jack answered; his voice barely above a whisper.
Bobby's eyes went wide and he really had to do his best not to get mad and start yelling but he couldn't keep the angry words from coming out of his mouth.
"You went where? Jack that is not a good place. Especially if you're taking drugs from him. Those drugs he sells are gonna get you killed. What were you thinking? Are you that stupid?."
Jack backed away a bit and Bobby immediately stopped.
"Look, I'm sorry," he said. "Just continue your story."
It took Jack a minute but he finally found his voice and when he did he continued on with his story as Bobby has asked him to do.
"I was just walking home but these three guys came up to me and asked me if I had any drugs. I guess they had seen me coming out of Johnny's. Even though I did, I said I didn't and I tried to get away. They didn't believe me so they just beat me up and stole all the drugs and money I had on me. Then I just came back here."
"Did you see their faces?," Bobby asked; now more pissed than before.
"No," Jack said; shaking his head. "It was too dark and I was a little high."
Bobby got up from the couch, grabbing Jack's arm and pulling him up.
"All right, Jack. It doesn't matter as long as you're okay. Speaking of which, we better take care of your cuts. It looks like you need stitches for the one over your eye. Come on, I'll drive you to the hospital."
Jack jerked free when he heard the word 'hospital'.
"What's wrong?," asked Bobby.
"I hate hospitals," Jack said. "I'm not going. I hate them and I never want to go in one ever again. I've been there too many times before and I never want to step foot in one ever again."
"But Jack, you need stitches. That cut over your eye is a really deep one."
Jack shook his head and stood his ground. "I'm not going anywhere." He could be real stubborn sometimes.
"All right fine," Bobby said. "Then I'll stitch it up myself."
Jack looked more horrified than when Bobby was going to take him to the hospital. Bobby saw Jack's look and became confused.
"What?."
"You….you're going to do it?," Jack asked cautiously.
Bobby nodded. "Yeah. I know how to stitch up cuts. It's either me or the hospital. Your choice, Jackie."
Jack stood there and thought about his choices. He hated hospitals and he never wanted to go to one again in his life. But he also didn't know if Bobby could do it. It took him a while but soon enough he made his choice.
"Fine, Bobby," he said. "You can do it."
"Good." Bobby smiled. "Follow me."
An hour later, after a great deal of patience and work, Bobby was finished. Jack was just glad it was over.
"See, Jackie? All done. Nothing happened."
"Yeah," Jack said; smiling weakly. "Sure."
A moment of silence passed between the brothers as Bobby cleaned up and put the medical kit away.
"All right, fairy," he said. "It's late. We'll get some sleep and in the morning we'll talk more about this. Deal?."
Jack nodded, said goodnight to Bobby and headed to his room. All though he was tired, he couldn't get any sleep at all. He felt really guilty for lying to Bobby. The whole story about the three guys and the drugs was a big lie. In reality, Todd had come to see him again.
He walked out of Johnny's place, as high as a kite, and he was pulled into an alley. He had come face to face with Todd himself.
'Do you have what I asked for, yet?," he had asked.
Jack told him he didn't but he would soon. Todd started threatening him again and Jack could tell that he was drunk by the way he was talking and acting. Then, Jack had done something he thought he was never going to do. He stood up for himself and basically told Todd to fuck himself and to never bother him again.
It was the wrong thing to do. He should have known that Todd would hurt him. Every time he used to stand up for himself, Todd would beat him down. He thought that now that he was older, he could take him on. But he was wrong.
Bobby, also couldn't sleep. He didn't, not for one second, believe Jack's story. He knew that something was wrong with Jack and the fact that he couldn't do anything was killing him. He turned over and looked at the clock. 4:00AM. He knew he had to find out what was wrong with Jack and that he couldn't do it alone. He picked up the phone and dialed.
"Hello?," came his brother Jerry's sleepy voice.
"Hey, Jer," Bobby said. "It's me."
"Bobby? Are you crazy, man? It's 4:00AM! And Daniela is sleeping!."
"Yeah well it's nice to talk to you too, Jerry!," said Bobby sarcastically.
"Bobby!"
"Sorry I know it's late. But I needed to tell you to come over tomorrow. Me, you, and Angel need to have a talk."
"About what?."
"It's about your little brother."
"Jack?," Jerry asked.
"Yeah. Don't worry nothing bad happened to him. Just come over. All right?."
"Yeah, all right."
"Good night, Jerry."
"Yeah, yeah, good night," Jerry replied and hung up.
Bobby was finally able to sleep. He knew now that he wasn't alone in this and that he's brothers would help him. They would figure out what was wrong with Jack. No matter how long it would take, they would find out and they would fix it because that's what brothers do. They help each other. And they would help Jack as soon as they find out what's happening to him.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………...
The next morning, Bobby purposely woke up early and made sure Jack was still asleep. Luckily, Jack was out like a light and would mostly like be for another couple of hours. Evelyn had already gone to work and he went downstairs to find Angel and Jerry waiting for him.
"Good morning, sleeping beauty!," Angel said.
"Shut-up," Bobby said; sitting down next to Jerry.
"So, Bobby, what did you want to talk to us about?," Jerry asked.
"Yeah," Angel said. "Something' about Jack."
"Yeah." Bobby sighed rubbing his tired eyes. "Something's wrong him. He got back into drugs again which he's getting from Johnny Drako. And last night he came home looking like shit. Someone beat him up pretty good and he told me some shit story about some thugs mugging him or something. But I could see right through it. He's not telling the truth and if we don't find out what's going on soon, he could get hurt."
Bobby let out an exasperated sigh as Jerry and Angel just stared at him; dumbfounded.
"So, what do you want to do about it, Bobby?," Jerry asked.
"I don't know. I was hoping you guys would help me figure it out."
"Why don't you just talk to him?," Angel suggested.
"Angel, I already tried that. You know Jack. He doesn't really respond well to people questioning him."
"All right then. Did you tell Ma? Maybe she could help."
"I did already and she said let him come to me on his own and ask for help if he needs it."
Silence passed between them until Bobby got a sudden idea.
"Angel, do you still talk to Marcus?," he asked.
Angel thought for a minute. "Marcus James? Yeah. Why?"
"Well you know how he is always looking for ways to get paid by going undercover for people, right?."
"Yeah."
"Maybe we can get him to follow Jack. You know, to see what exactly is happening to him."
"No," Jerry immediately protested. "No Bobby. Absolutely not."
"Why not?," Bobby asked.
"Because, Bobby. It's not fair going around spying on him like that. If he has a problem he'll come to us like Ma said."
"Yeah Jerry? What if he doesn't? Huh? What if we do as you say and wait for him to come to us and he doesn't and then he gets hurt and we could of prevented it? Huh? How would you feel then?."
There was a tense silence throughout the room but Jerry finally agreed. Angel left to go talk to Marcus, and Jerry went home so he could baby-sit while his went out to pick up some things at the store. Bobby was alone and had nothing to do so he turned on the TV, flipping through the channels, bored out of his mind.
"Bobby?"
Bobby turned his attention away from the TV and to the doorway where Jack stood. Fully dressed and ready to go out.
"Yeah Jack?."
"Uh…I'm going out now," Jack said. "Just thought you might want to know."
Jack turned, ready to leave but Bobby spoke before he could even get the door half open.
"Hold it!."
Jack stopped and turned back to face Bobby was walking toward him.
"What?," Jack asked.
"Don't be so quick to leave," he said. "Because you aren't going anywhere, Jackie."
Jack looked at him skeptically. "Why?."
"Because I said so, Jack." Bobby was getting more agitated by the minute.
"You aren't my father, Bobby," Jack spat.
Bobby felt a pang of hurt inside him when Jack said that even though he didn't have any reason to.
"I know I'm not," Bobby said coldly. "But I'm still your older brother and I said you aren't going anywhere. Now, you can be cooperative and listen to me or you can be stubborn and I'll just have to tie you to a chair so you don't go anywhere. What do ya say?."
Jack huffed and stomped up the stairs to his room which was followed by a slamming door.
"Good," Bobby said to himself; smiling.
He didn't need Jack running off again and coming home at two in the morning. He had to keep Jack here. At least until Angel came back to tell him if Marcus was up for the job anymore.
It wasn't until after two that Angel came back. Bobby was already irritable from having Jack sulking around the house all day so he didn't have the patience to put up with anymore stress.
"So," said Bobby. "Will he do it or not?."
"Yeah," Angel replied. "He'll do it. $300 for him following Jack today and tonight."
Bobby nearly spit out the juice he was drinking.
"THREE HUNDRED FUCKING DOLLARS!?."
Angel nodded.
"Is he fucking crazy? I'm not giving him three hundred fucking dollars. No way in hell."
"It's the only way he'll do it, Bobby," Angel said.
This was the stress that Bobby didn't have the patience to put up with and he was really close to loosing it and going completely insane.
"All right," Bobby agreed. "Fine. Where is he?."
"Outside."
"Well that's great Angel! Why don't you tell him to come inside so I can talk to him because somehow I don't think he can hear me from here."
"Okay Bobby but you don't have to be sarcastic!."
A minute later, Angel came back in with Marcus in tow. He was a short guy, shorter than Bobby, with blond hair and skinny body.
"Hi Bobby," he said. "We have a deal?."
Bobby forced a smile. "Yeah. I want you start today."
"Great! When do I get my money?."
Bobby scoffed. "You get your money when I see you've done a good job. Wait here. I'll be right back."
Bobby pounded up the stairs two at time; reaching Jack's room in two seconds. He knocked on the door once. Twice. Three times. No answer. He tried the door and it was open so he walked right in. Sure enough there Jack was; lying on his bed listening to music so loud that Bobby could hear it clearly from the headphones Jack had on his head. It was some rock crap that Bobby simply hated.
"JACK!"
Jack was oblivious to the fact that Bobby was standing over him which was because he had his eyes closed. Bobby was getting impatient so he simply clicked off the cd player which caused Jack to sit up and open his eyes with lightning fast speed.
"Hi."
Jack looked up to see Bobby standing over him with an amused look on his face.
"What the hell do you want Bobby?," he asked.
Bobby pretended to look hurt. "Is that how you talk to your brother?."
"Yes. Now what do you want?." Jack was getting impatient.
"Jesus Jack. I just came up here to tell you that you can go out now. You don't did to get your fairy panties in a twist."
Bobby smirked when Jack flipped him off and walked passed him out the door. Jack was gone by the time Bobby came downstairs. He looked around the living room for Marcus.
"Angel, where did Marcus go?," he asked.
"Where do you think? He went to follow Jack."
"Wow. He doesn't waste his time does he?."
"Nope."
Bobby looked out the window but both Jack and Marcus were long gone. All he had to do now was sit around and wait. Something that Bobby Mercer had no patience left for.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring.
"BOBBY! GET THE PHONE!."
Bobby opened his eyes and realized that Angel was calling him to get the phone. He reached over his head to the table next to the couch and eventually located the phone.
"Hello?," he said.
"Bobby? It's Marcus. I just saw Jack and….he……"
"Spit it out, Marcus!."
"I saw this older guy come up to him. Jack looked scared. They talked and it looked like they were fighting and then the guy hit Jack. He said something else and then left. Jack just stood there and then I followed him some more and he went to Drako's again. If something is wrong then it's definitely this dude that came up to him."
"Thanks Marcus," Bobby said and hung up.
"ANGEL!"
"What?"
"Get in here now! We're going to find Jack. He's in trouble."
