Darkness leaked through the house trailing deadly silence with it. Jeanna stood staring into the darkness trying to peirce the darkness with just her eyes. "Shannon!" She called out shakily.
Silence the soft moan of pain. "Oh god Shannon please answer me."
"I--I-- I'm alright." Came the response out of the darkness making her jump.
She let out a sigh. "Matt?" She asked the darkness still unable to see.
"I knocked him out, right after he fired the gun." He responded.
So, Matt wasn't the one who was Shot...neither was Shannon. "Oh, God!" She nearly screamed. "Shannon we need lights in here now!"
"There's an over head switch near the door." he responded and then the sound of somone fumbeling in the darkness.
Several minutes passed and then the light flashed on gareshly. Illuminating everything with the halogin Yellow of Death. She looked at Shannon, he was so washed out and pale and then her eyes traveled over the couch to where Jeff was laying so still, motionless. She moved towards him and kneeled down and gently touched his neck. There was a pulse but it was weak and thready. She slowly moved him gently scared to look. She gagged at the sight of the blood leaking from the side of his throat. She continued looking cheaking him for more wounds. After several seconds of looking she found the second hole buried deep in his ribs.
"Shannon," She called. "I need towels or something hurry."
Shannon saw the blood and his already pale face washed out completly, leaving his blue eyes a stark reality in his face. She stood up and walked over to Shannon. She grabbed his shoulders. "Shannon, look at me." she said softly.
His blue eyes flicked to her face and he stared at her. "I need your help now Shannon, okay. I need some towels to stop the bleeding, and I don't know where anything is." she said.
He nodded. "Okay, " he pulled away and hurried upstairs.
Jeanna kneeled down next to Jeff again and moved him gently. "Jeff," She called down to him. "Jeff can you hear me."
She saw Jeff's eyelids flicker weakly and then they opened. He looked up at her blanky his eyes were dull with pain. His lips she noticed were turning blue. She looked down at the gaping wound on his neck. She stuided it nervoulsy. "Are you having trouble breathing?" She asked.
His eyes flicked around the room and she heard air rasp through his throat. "W--w--What happened?" He gasped out wetly.
"Relax Jeff." She whispered smoothing his brow. He whimpered in pain and looked around.
"Lay still Jeff." She said again holding him firmly yet gently.
He sighed softly the wet rattel worried her and she looked up as something pressed against her shoulder. Shannon was holding out towels and she grabbed them wrapping one around Jeff's neck. She pulled the blanket away from the mans chest and winced. She wasn't a medical docter.
"Shannon," She looked up from pressing a towel to Jeff's ribs. She coudln't see the blonde man. "Shannon?"
She slowly stood up and moved around the corner of the couch. Shannon was sitting on the ground staring down at the motionless Matt. He was holding the gun in his hands and had it pressed to the back of Matt's skull.
"Shannon.." She moved slowly towards him hand out she touched his shoulder. "Shannon."
His body was shaking she coudln't see his eyes but she could bet he was back in his cell in his mind. Hiding himself from the pain and reality of the real world. She slowly reached out and pulled the gun away from the younger mans hands. "Its okay Shannon, he'll never hurt you guys again, I promise."
He slowly looked at her his eyes filled with tears. "why'ed he do it?" he whispered. "He was supposed to protect us."
"I don't know Shannon, I don't know." She swallowed and looked towards Jeff. "Right now Shannon Jeff need's your help okay. I need you to call the police and get an ambulance to okay?"
Shannon slowly nodded. "Okay." She watched him slowly stand up and move towards the kitchen. His steps were slow and stiff as if he were in pain. shock..Shannon was in shock as well.
The next couple hours went by in a blur, Jeff was carted off to the Hospitable as were Shannon and Matt, she was detained for questioning on what had happened. She told them everything. The shreif an older man looked grim and upset. She was given a ride home considering the car they had come in was now part of a crime scene.
It was almost a week before she was given any news on Jeff. That news landed on her desk in her office one morning when Rufus tossed her mail on her desk. On the front page was an artical she honestly hadn't expected to see.
Case of life long abuse rock Rual North Carolina town!
Below the headline was a picture of Jeff and Shannon both looking pale and frightened by the onslaught of press around them. Below that a picture of Matt being led into a court house. She slowly began reading the artical.
"Earlier this week, the small town of Cameron North Carolina was shocked when one of its Long time Hero's Mattew Hardy was arresseted. Several charges were brought up against him by his younger Brother Jeffrey Hardy, his cousin, Shannon Moore, and several life long freinds. The charges were stated at being shocking leading to Moore's incaraceration in a mental instatuation and J.Hardy's Abuse of drugs. Both men testifyed in court against there tormenter. The charges implacated were in a wide range, from Mental abuse, Child abuse, Sexual abuse, and forced Drug Abuse. M. Hardy was brought up on two counts of each charge and three on the Physical abuse charge. This is yet another blow to the world renowned company the World Wrestleing Entertainment. Preveiously known as the World Wrestling Federation. When asked about Matthew Hardy, Vincent Mcmahon stated . "I had no idea this was going on, either of the boys could of come to me with this problem and I would of put an end to it immediatly." When questioned further he stated that any further questions would be feilded by his lawyer. M. Hardy was found guilty on all charges his sentencing date has yet to be released to us.
J. Dawson.
Jeanna sighed and pushed her hair back. So Matt would go to jail. But, would it be enough to save the two humans whose lives he had ruined. She looked at the picture of the two men. Shannon looked distent and but was looking right at the camera. He was holding Jeff's arm. Jeff was looking down his hair obscuring his face. Below the picture she noted what the caption said. "Shannon Moore helps his cousin and fellow victem back to there house."
She hissed softly that meant the poperatzie were staking out there house. She sighed and closed her eyes putting her head in her hands. All this in a six month period what was she supposed to do. She sighed loudly then broke under the onslaught she broke into tears.
-------
Jeff sat silently staring blankly at the wall. If they could call what Jeff had done at the courthouse testafying Shannon would like to punch the lawyer. Every word out of his cousins mouth had been forced the Lawyer had been an ass. When Jeff had finally broke down into incoherent sobs He had spied Matt smirking coldly. He didn't care if he went to jail he had made sure his brother would be nothing with out him. Shannon sighed and gently touched Jeff's shoulder. The eyes flickered back into this life and he looked up.
"Yeah?" he asked softly.
"Amy's here,"
"Why?"
"She said she had something to tell you."
"Oh,"
He slowly stiffly stood up, his arm was still wrapped in a cast, his neck looked like a dog had chewed on it. And god and Jeff only knew what his chest looked like. He walked slowly into the kitchen where Amy Dumas, Matt's ex, Was sitting silently sipping tea. Jeff walked over and looked at her suspiciously.
"What do you want Amy?" he asked softly.
She looked up at him sadness in her eyes she looked down again. Tears leaked down her cheeks. "I have a problem." She whispered
He stepped slowly clouser and gently put his hand on her shoulder. "What is it Amy?"
She looked at him and then sighed softly. "I'm pregnant." she whispered.
He blinked and looked at her. He shook his head. "W--What?" He asked her.
She lookd up and smiled weakly and sobbed. "I'm Pregnant Jeff and its Matt's."
Jeff was stunned he grabbed at the back of the chair and slowly sat down in the chair he looked at Amy silently. "Did her ever hurt you?" He asked.
She shook her head. "N--no," she whispered. "He was always such a gentalmen with me," She continued. "I don't think he could of hurted me if he wanted to."
He looked at her silently almost complatating her. "I won't let anything happen to you or the baby." He finally stated softly.
"J--Jeff," She whispered. "I can't ask you to do that!"
"Your not, I'm telling you what I'm gonna do." He stated softly. "Will raise the baby together."
She stared at him softly then nodded. "Thank you Jeff."
