Disclaimer: I Don't Own them….they belong to…..someone that isn't me
"Jimmy, you saw what he did to me…I mean this is how it's always been" said Eric the next morning on the phone
"I know…but that is totally different from killing someone" said Jimmy
"You believed me last night..." said Eric
"Then I thought about it logically, maybe you should" Jimmy said
"I am in HELL…everyday...All day, no escape Jimmy...None" Eric said
"Eric…I don't know what to do" he said
"I don't need you…I never have so why should I start now. Maybe you'll care when I'm dead" Eric said
Eric hung up the phone clearly upset about everything, Jimmy was the only person that he thought that he could count on but now that he was being "logical" he didn't want anything to do with him. Eric looked around the kitchen, it was spotless which was strange enough especially since his father was out of town but he liked it that way. Getting up he realized where he needed to go….
Cemetery
Eric stood by his grandmother's tombstone looking at all the ones around it, they seemed to have been there for a long time, longer than he's been around. The cemetery was quiet, which is the way that cemeteries should be but the one in Smallville always seemed different because of the way that it was set up. Eric never understood the people that conversed with the dead, its not they were going to answer, he looked at the tombstone again and realized that there was what looked like a spot of dried blood on the front of it. He looked at it again more intensely then he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"I'm not a vandal I swear…this is my grandmother's tombstone" he said not turning around
"How can I be so sure…." the person asked
Eric turned around and looked at the person that was behind him
"What are you doing here? I don't need you" Eric said
"I know you don't mean that…you will always need me" he said
"I've lived all this time without you why should anything change?" Eric asked
"I believe you now…that's why I came here, to tell you that" Jimmy said
"How did you know I was here?" Eric asked
"It was just something that I knew" said Jimmy "are you ready to go"
"Yeah" said Eric
Eric's House
They got into their separate cars and drove to Eric's house, happy that Jimmy wanted to help him, Eric was still suspicious about the kind of person that Jimmy really was. Eric reached his house first and pulled in the driveway as Jimmy came up right behind him. After unlocking the front door they went inside, Jimmy went straight into the living room and looked at all the pictures.
"Wow…you guys look really happy in these pictures" he said knowing a moment after it was the wrong thing to say
"Oh yeah, we are just the perfect family….that's exactly what the pictures show" said Eric sarcastically
"Hey…I'm only here because you think your father is a killer...That's it, I didn't come here for sarcasm" said Jimmy
"Fine…what do you want to do first" said Eric
"Your mother is still in jail right?" asked Jimmy looking at the pictures again
"Yes" said Eric "what does that have to do with anything?"
"Everything…now we can go investigate without anyone stopping us" he said "follow me"
"Coming" said Eric following Jimmy to the basement
After opening the basement door Jimmy walked down the narrow steps into a larger room that held all the families belongings. Eric looked around the basement…it was the first time he had been down there in a long time. Remembering that only his school information was down there and not anything about his adoption or his real family…Eric wanted to get out.
"There is nothing down here…lets go back upstairs" said Eric quickly
"Okay…whatever you say" said Jimmy heading back upstairs
Eric followed Jimmy up the stairs closing the basement door behind them. Even as a teenager Eric was always scared of the basement for reasons unknown to both him and his parents. Jimmy looked around the house some more…not really saying anything just looking.
"What are you looking for exactly?" asked Eric after a few silent moments
"Clues…..clues to prove your mother is innocent" said Jimmy not looking at him
"Clues? Clues! Jimmy we don't have a lifetime!" said Eric frustrated
"Oh relax will you!" said Jimmy as the phone rang
Eric walked into the kitchen and picked up the phone….
"Yes...I will accept the charges" Eric said into the phone
"Eric…they're taking me" Rebecca said
"Taking you where mom?" Eric asked
"The insane asylum" she said quickly "They think I'm crazy!"
"Belle Reeve?" asked Eric
Hearing that Eric was on the phone still Jimmy walked into the kitchen the moment that he heard that….
"Yes…" she said as the phone on her end went dead
Eric hung up the phone in the kitchen, looked around, and noticed that Jimmy was sitting at the kitchen table.
"Tomorrow...they are taking my mother to Belle Reeve" said Eric
"We have to go to your grandmother's house tonight and there tomorrow then" said Jimmy quickly
Eric and Jimmy made their way to Jessica's house, Jimmy stayed outside when they reached the house to take a couple of pictures and Eric went inside. After searching the house for what seemed like the millionth time…Eric came across a blood spot on the ground by the front door as Jimmy took a picture of the spot Eric wondered if such a small spot of blood could truly convict his father and if it was even worth mentioning to the police. He decided against it for now until they found more evidence and locked up the house and made their way back to Eric's. Tired from the days events Jimmy stayed the night at Eric's house so they could go and investigate the asylum tomorrow.
Belle Reeve Asylum (The Next Day)
Looking calm on the outside Eric and Jimmy walked into the big room that only had a receptionist in it
"We're here to see Rebecca Summers she's our mother" Eric said quickly
Before they knew it they were surrounded by Belle Reeve employees…
"Your coming back home Jimmy….your coming back home" one of the Belle Reeve employee said as he shot him with a taser gun
Jimmy fell into Eric's arms….trying to hold up the limp Jimmy the Belle Reeve employees took Jimmy away from him and they left Eric there shocked.
