Wow lame reviews last time I was expecting more with the giving away of the scene thing but whatever. BTW Canadianagurl got it. R'n'R
While all the craziness at Booth's house was going on, Jack was having his own problems. Shortly after being pulled into the van the shorter man had covered his eyes with a bandana and tied his hands with a zip tie. They didn't put a gag in his mouth bat he was too scared to make a sound anyway.
Though seven year olds are not good at judging time he guessed about 2 hours later he was roughly lifted out of the van and carried inside to a room. The man took his blindfold off and untied his hands. As soon as he was free he bolted for the door but the adult man grabbed him and threw him back inside before leaving and locking the door.
Jack sighed and looked around the room. It was dark blue with a light wooden bed against the far wall. The shelves and dresser were covered in sports memorabilia. He walked over to the dresser and opened the top drawer. It was full of brand new, old navy brand little boys polo shirts. He checked the label and with a sinking feeling he realized they were not his size. They were Zach's. These people were really determined to get their son back at any cost.
The door opened and a woman walked in. It took a minute for Jack to recognize her as Mrs. Addy; she looked so different, but still just as horrible. She looked at him for a minute them proceeded to put away some laundry she brought with her. She straightened the bed cover before looking at him and saying
"Dinner will be ready in 20 minutes so make sure you wash up." Then her face softened. "Welcome home honey." She smiled and left.
Jack still confused and somewhat horrified at her reaction curiously ventured out into the hall. When no one stopped him he explored a little.
The bedroom was at the back end of the one story house. As he walked he saw a lot of pictures along the hall. They were all of the Addy's with some family member or another. They were all staring back leering at him.
He ran to the front door and saw that it was padlocked. Panicky now he ran tot eh back door it was open but the Addy's had a 6 foot privacy fence with no gate. Running back inside, he tripped on the step and fell to the floor.
A man, Mr. Addy, helped him up and told him
"Be careful son."
Jack pulled away and spat "I'm not your son."
Mr. Addy slapped him. "Don't you ever say that again! Your mother and I work hard to make a good home for you and after that stunt you pulled with that snooty family up in DC you should be grateful we still want you!"
Dumbfounded Jack allowed himself to be steered toward the kitchen to wash up before dinner. The table was set for three and Mrs. Addy was putting a bowel of mixed vegetables in the center. Jack sat down and stared at his plate.
Smiling, Mrs. Addy asked him if he liked ham. He did not respond so she gave him 2 slices and some potatoes. Once everyone was seated Mr. Addy dug in and watched Jack eat, or not eat as he touched nothing on his plate.
"Eat up son. You're going to need your strength to start school tomorrow."
Jack must have looked confused because Mr. Addy told him that his clothes for the next day were hanging in his closet. After dinner Mrs. Addy told him to get a bath for school the next day. She guided him to the bathroom and gave him a towel. She smiled and said don't worry honey you'll do great tomorrow." Then she left him alone to wash.
Before anyone asks: Yes the Addys are kinda crazy. They do believe that Jack is Zach and are going to treat him as such
