Chapter 12
Jackson groaned and looked up as he heard Gibbs' voice calling his name. "DAD, JIMMY?" He yelled.
Jackson lifted his head and pushed the gag out of his mouth with his tongue, "LEROY!" he called.
Gibbs heard his father's voice and drew his gun. "Dad you ok?" He called coming down the basement steps with his weapon drawn.
"No, I got jumped by two guys." He complained.
Gibbs put his gun away and got out his knife to cut his father's bonds.
"What happened?" Gibbs asked taking in the bruise to his father's head as well.
"Eunice and I came out of the meeting, she was doing really well and then Bruce and some guy turned up one of them hit me over the head and I woke up down here."
"Take my phone, press 1 and fill Tony in, get Ducky here too!"
He pulled his gun again and took the stairs two at a time "Jimmy!" He called his gut churning.
He went into Jimmy's room his bag was there but no sign of his brother. Then he went into Eunice's room, there was what was left of their drug party all over the bed and one of Jimmy's shoes on the floor and worse a small pool of blood.
However, no Jimmy, or Eunice.
Jimmy was in Bruce and John's motel room putting pressure on the gash in his side, where Bruce had kicked him.
"Mom." He groaned as the pain got to him.
Eunice looked at Bruce, "Honey he's hurt, I need to get him to a hospital." She pleaded.
"I don't think so." Bruce snarled. "John, give the boy something for the pain." He ordered.
John picked up a syringe and injected Jimmy.
"Noooo, I have to stay awake, Please Bruce, it's bleeding too much." Jimmy begged.
"Shut up, your only here because she wants you." Bruce said looking at Eunice who lay back with her eyes closed as her latest hit took her to a new high.
"M…Momma…Please help me." Jimmy begged his pleas being ignored.
John sat on the bed next to him, "Soooooooo, purty." He said still stoned and drunk.
Jimmy flinched and moved himself as far as he could in the corner away from John.
He closed his eyes as the drug took effect tears escaping as he wondered if his Dad was ok and if Gibbs knew he was missing.
Gibbs stormed outside as Ducky arrived,
"What's the matter Jethro?" he asked.
"I think Jimmy's been kidnapped with his mother, Dad's been injured. Can ya look at him for me Duck?" He asked.
Ducky nodded and hurried inside.
Tony, Tim and Ziva arrived seconds later.
"McGee David, Bag and Tag the two upstairs bedrooms, not mine. DiNozzo with me." He growled and the two junior agents rushed to obey.
"Boss?" Tony asked when they were alone.
"I think Jimmy's been hurt, Bruce Palmer was here and there's blood in the spare room." He told his SFA.
"God! Boss, do you think he's hurt bad?" Tony asked afraid for his friend.
"Dunno DiNozzo, I need you to put a BOLO out on Bruce Palmer, see if we can flush him out." Gibbs ordered. Tony nodded picked up his phone and walked out onto the porch.
A few moments later he came in, "They already know where he is, he's just been busted, buying Meth, outside a motel in Alexandria, he won't tell them what room he's in so they are about to start knocking doors." Tony told him.
"Get em to call an ambulance and to hold on, we're going, DiNozzo." Gibbs said jumping in the charger and revving the engine.
Tony passed on the message and sent a quick text to Ziva and Tim so they would know where they were.
The car sped off towards the Motel, Gibbs driving even faster than usual in a bid to reach his little brother.
Jimmy could see flashing lights and swirling images, nothing made sense. His pain was gone and he stood up, not noticing the blood seeping down his side from the wound he had now forgotten about.
"Momma…." He said.
John and Eunice smiled at him.
"Come here baby." She said to him, he lay on the bed as she gently cupped his head.
John lay beside him stroking his face. "You're such a pretty boy," He cooed.
"I feel strange." Jimmy slurred.
"Its ok baby, it's just to make things easy for you to relax, I'm gonna keep you safe now." She said in his ear.
John started taking his clothes off and Jimmy protested.
"It's too hot for you to wear all that." John told him.
Jimmy half-heartedly fought back but he forgot what he was doing and why he was fighting as John leant over to kiss him.
There was a loud crash as the door broke down.
"Wass that?" Jimmy slurred.
"GET OFF HIM!" An angry voice yelled.
Gibbs could not believe what he was seeing and he thanked anyone listening, that he had made it there in time, he hoped that he had. Seeing his little brother naked on the bed with his mother passed out in the corner and this man….his 'uncle' next to him made him physically sick. His anger overrode that as he grabbed John Palmer and slammed him up against the wall and handcuffed him.
Jimmy felt movement but he still felt like he was watching an impressionist movie, nothing made sense. "I think…cold…momma…cold….maybe me dead…." He prattled on, he heard shouting and turned on his side away from the noise, "Shhhhhhhhhh! Sleep now!" He said forcefully and closed his eyes.
Tony grabbed a blanket and covered his friend's nakedness as best as he could.
The Paramedics came in and started to look at Jimmy.
He felt himself turned over onto his back and a bright light was shone in his eyes.
"Mr. Palmer….Mr. Palmer?" A very loud very annoying voice called,
"Not Palmer…Gibbs…No, not Gibbs…..Just Jimmy." He groaned.
"Jimmy the paramedics are here to help you, you're safe now." Gibbs' voice floated on the edge of his consciousness.
"Leeeeeeroy, I feel all floaty light." Jimmy giggled.
Gibbs looked at his brother incredulously, despite the shape he was in and what was hopefully 'nearly' done to him Jimmy was laughing.
Gibbs turned to the paramedics, "What the hell is wrong with him?" he asked.
"Jimmy has a small wound on his torso, we've patched it although it will need stitching, I think although we will need to do tests that he may be on Meth."
Gibbs looked at Jimmy who was sat waving his hand in front of his face.
"Do we….Do we need to run a…..rape kit?" He asked nearly vomiting over the question.
"No. you say he's been gone a few hours, there is not physical sign of sexual abuse, although it looks like he has been hit a few times and the wound on his side was probably caused by a kick," The paramedic told him.
"You can't take him, he's my son….I have to pay John….Jimmy is his now." Eunice said.
Gibbs looked at the patrol officer standing behind the door, "Take her to a rehab place, give them my card," He said pulling a contact card out of his pocket, "Tell em to send me the bill and not under any circumstances to release her without contacting me." He ordered.
"Yes Sir," the patrol officer said and took Eunice Palmer away.
The Paramedics lifted the gurney with Jimmy securely strapped to it.
"Sir, we will be taking him to Bethesda," They said.
"I'll ride with you!" Tony said quickly, "Er...Is that ok Boss? Jimmy is my friend he doesn't need to be alone and well, you brought your car." He explained.
"Thanks Tony, Stay with him till I can get there, I have to check on my dad." Gibbs said and watched as the ambulance containing his SFA and little brother drove off.
