~_~_~_~_~_~~_~
"What?" Jeanna asked slumping into her chair starring at the odd man standing before her.
"His mother started all of this, Matt completed it." Jeff responded watching her with his intense green eyes.
"What do you mean?" Jeanna asked nervously.
Jeff sighed and his hands came out of his pockets and he studied her silently for a minute. Jeanna got the idea this man wasn't quite right in the head. "When Shannon was young his mother used to abuse him. At one point she put duct tape over his mouth around his hands and feet and put him in the washing machine." He paused and looked out into the rec-room.
Jeanna watched him not willing to interrupt the man. She had a feeling this was going to hurt her to hear it, but she knew if she wanted to help Shannon she needed to know what happened.
Jeff sighed and pulled a hand from his pocket and chewed on one nail then stopped. "He would of drowned if his father hadn't heard him."
Jeanna turned and looked out into the rec-room where one of the oderlies was moving the small blonde towards the sleeping quarters. She sighed and shook her head. "What did Matt do?" She finally asked.
He looked back at her and sighed loudly. "It started before we even all worked together. Just once in awhile Matt would loose his Temper and Smack one of us around a bit."
"One of you?" She asked.
He stiffened and she filed that away. "Me, Shannon, Evan, the ones that hung out in mine and Matt back yard." He looked down at the floor almost like a child who was waiting to be scolded.
"What happened to Shannon?" She fell silent for a minute. "Or what do you belive happened to Shannon?"
Jeff looked at her from under his hair and was silent. She though silently to herself. God this man has a lot of people scared to talk. "Jeff, please if you know something that could help Shannon you need to tell me."
"I belive Matt has on one or more occasions beaten Shannon." He sucked air between his teeth and shifted uncomfortably.
She slowly sat down. "Please have a seat."
He shook his head. "No, standing is good."
She nodded and watched the man silently. "Can you tell me anything, proof you have to this?"
Jeff looked back at her silent and shook his head. "No, I can't prove it, I just have a feeling about it." He paused. "Matt's a good player..he'll play indignant if ya push him to had though, he'll snap."
She nodded she was pretty sure he had been pretty close to that yesterday. She nodded her head and folded her hands. "Would he be likely to hurt someone if they pushed him to far?" She asked.
Those unstable green eyes came back to look at her they stayed on her face for several minutes and when they finally flicked away she let out a breath she hadn't known she was holding. "You, don't want to push him."
She nodded and leaned back closing her eyes for a minute. "Alright, no pushing." She stated. "How do we get him to confess?"
Jeff turned and stared at her again but this time she saw something behind those unstable eyes. There was fear and possibly anger burning through the uncertainty that clouded his eyes. "There's no way..Matt doesn't feel guilt." he paused. "He..he" He took a deep breath. "He hasn't sense Mom died when we were little."
Jeanna took a deep breath and tapped a finger on her forehead she then picked up a pen tried to write then stopped. She looked up and watched the young man pace back and forth across the room. There was something else. He was keeping something from her. "What is it Jeff?"
He sighed and looked at her. "Can I see Shannon?" He asked. "I was hoping maybe I could talk to him."
She stood up and smiled. "Of course no problem." She responded standing up.
He grinned and there was a new light in his eyes. "Thanks." He said.

Shannon didn't move when the door to his room opened. His eyes remained fixed on a spot on the far wall. He knew who it was coming into see him he just didn't want to see her. She moved with in his line of sight and he tried to look away.
"Shannon, someone's here to see you." Jeanna said softly.
He didn't move didn't respond. He could see her but he wouldn't respond. Responding only brought anger and pain. He couldn't deal with that anymore it was safer to stay where he was.
"Shannon?" Jeff said softly.
He responded he couldn't resist his eyes snapped into focus and stared up at Jeff. They started to fade away they floated off of Jeff and towards the wall.
"Shannon I know your still in there." Jeff stated kneeling down in Shannon's line of sight.
He watched Shannon's eyes silently looking for some sign that he was being acknowledged. A flick and the eyes looked at him. Jeff sighed nervously. "Shannon I want help you." He said.
The eyes flicked again and looked at Jeanna, Shannon looked back at Jeff and he nodded his head slowly.
"You remember home?" He asked slowly. "In North Carolina?"
Shannon nodded again his eyes dancing slightly with a soft light.
Jeff slowly moved to sit on the edge of the bed watching Shannon not wanting to scare him or shove him back into the darkness of his mind. "What do you remember Shannon?"
Shannon turned his head and looked at Jeff his eyes confused and frightened. It was like he didn't know what to say, or how to word it, He looked away and across the room again then slowly turned his head and looked at Jeff. "The birds."
Jeanna watched in silence, this was the first time she had ever heard him speak and it had taken only 10 minutes from Jeff to get him talking. She was about to speak but she stopped herself. She didn't want to shatter the fragile semblance that the other man had set up. He was slowly building a bridge trying to lead Shannon back to them. She wasn't going to risk that.
Jeff grinned and cocked an eyebrow. "The birds?" He asked softly.
Shannon nodded and grinned. "Flying over the beach." He responded a soft wavering note of confidence in his voice. It didn't hurt this time the sharp shards that had ripped at him the last time he had tried to come back was gone.
Jeff nodded. "You want go to the beach with me Shannon?" He asked building slowly giving Shannon safe places to rest if he needed to.
Shannon's eyes flicked and seemed to glaze and then fear sparked in them again. To leave the safety within his mind did he want to really do that. He looked to Jeanna slowly nervously his voice shaking awaiting a rebuke or a smack for his efforts. "Can I?"
Jeanna smiled brightly and nodded. "Of course you can, I have no problem with it."
He looked at Jeff and nodded his head. "I want go to the beach with you."
Jeff looked up at Jeanna and grinned. "So when can we go Doc?" He asked.
Jeanna smiled back at the two of them. "Well, I'll have to file some paper work and such with the bosses and such. And Shannon, will have to submit to a Phsyc evaluation before I can take him from the building." She paused and watched him.
Shannon slowly looked at her then slowly down. "I..I..I won't tell you what happened." He stammered out.
"Thats not what we want know." She answered. "We just wanna be sure your going to be okay."
"To go back into society?" He asked looking down.
She paused feeling bad about this but she kneeled down and took one of his hands. "Shannon I think your fit for society." She paused. " I don't think you did anything wrong at all ever."
"Then why all the tests?" He asked a disturbed light in his eyes.
"Just so my bosses can see what I see." She responded looking him in the eye. "I'll be there I won't let anyone hurt you."
~_~_~_~_~_~_~
Jeff watched her as they walked back into her office. He didn't like this he was betraying his family but, to help prove Shannon didn't deserve this was what he had planned on doing that morning and if he had to he would get Matt to come after him somehow. When she turned he instinctively looked away.
"I'll call you after the meeting." She stated looking at him she picked up a notebook and held it out. "If you want give me a number to call you at."
Jeff slowly took the notebook and picked up a pen and slowly scratched out his cell phone number. He handed it back and looked at her. "You'll call me wether it goes good or bad."
Jeanna nodded and shook his hand. "Thank you for your Help Mr. Hardy." She said smiling at him.
He smiled slightly in return. "Jeff." He stated. "My dad is Mr. Hardy."
