Disclaimer: I still don't own them…not after all this time

"Jimmy?" Eric asked again staring at him

"Yeah…"he looked at him shivering

"I'm sorry…come on in" said Eric holding the door open

Eric locked the door behind them and got Jimmy some warm clothes and told him to meet him in the living room. Eric got back to his book and 20 minutes later

"Jimmy? Are you okay?" Eric asked from the living room

Jimmy who was sitting in Eric's room looking out the window didn't answer. Eric placed his book down on the couch cushion next to him and started up the stairs.

"Jimmy? Are you okay?" Eric asked his brother who was staring at the rain

"What? Oh I'm fine…I'll be right down" said Jimmy faking a smile

Eric went back downstairs and reached the living room again….he sat down again as Jimmy came back downstairs in his warm clothes. Eric looked at the clock on the mantel it was well after 10p.m. and he hoped that his mother wouldn't be home for a while. Jimmy sat down on the couch and looked at Eric.

"What did they do you there?" asked Eric

"I don't know….I was alone in that cell all day…then they gave me the medication…" said Jimmy

"What medication?" asked Eric

"The one to stop the screaming….the one they tried before, it doesn't work" said Jimmy

"Screaming...you said…like so someone being beaten?" asked Eric

"Yes…how did you know?" asked Jimmy

"It's a brother thing…" Eric said quickly

The room went silent with the thoughts of Jimmy's screaming dreams

"Have you found anything new about our real parents?" Jimmy asked Eric

It has been months since Eric searched the attic and the internet for information about their birth parents and what they were like. He tried to forget about them but when since his grandmother died and all the other thing that happened but he didn't want to forget.

"Pretty much probably the same things that you found out…"said Eric trying to convince his brother that he didn't find any new information.

"Okay…I'm just to tired to talk about it anyway" said Jimmy yawning "it's been a long strange evening"

After saying their goodnights and brushing their teeth, Jimmy climbed the stairs to sleep in Eric's room and Eric returned to the living room to spend the night in the living room.

The Next Morning

Eric who was sleeping on the couch was awakened by the sound of the telephone from the kitchen. He stumbled to the kitchen…

"Eric? This is Julie...Have you seen Jimmy he escaped Belle Reeve last night?" she asked panicking before he even said hello

"He escaped? No I haven't seen him" Eric said hoping that he sounded convincing

"Well if you see him...please let us know" she said sniffling

Eric hung up the phone just as Jimmy was coming down the stairs…he had slept in Eric's room.

"That was your mother…she's worried about you" said Eric

"If she was so worried about me…then she would have came and helped me get out of there and besides all she cares about is having me miss some of my senior year which is why she made she I had all my homework in the asylum…now does that sound like a good parent to you?" said Jimmy

Before Eric could answer his brother Rebecca came down the stairs...

"Morning…..Jimmy? When did you get here?" she asked

Noticing right away how different Rebecca has been acting since the last time that he saw her, Jimmy didn't know what to say

"He spent the night mom…he came to hang out and see you because I told him about you getting out of the asylum" Eric said quickly hoping that she believed him

"Oh Jimmy…that's so nice of you...that's such a bad place. They make you…be someone you aren't, but I'm better now...now that he's in jail" Rebecca said giving him a hug

Rebecca went back upstairs to get ready for her weekend shift leaving Jimmy and Eric downstairs again.

"Good one...that was close" said Jimmy "you are an excellent liar"

"Well I do go to school with some of the best" said Eric looking at him

Eric looked at his brother most closely then before, he noticed that there were bruises on his arms where they must have grabbed him. Jimmy crossed his arms across this chest so that his brother couldn't see the bruises, he knew that he was an excellent liar just like his brother.

Smallville Prison

Roger Summers sat in his prison cell as the days went by he knew that he deserved to be in there...there was no denying it. He just hoped that when it was his time to go, he would go quickly and not suffer, on the other hand his wife and son wished that he would suffer just like he deserved. There wasn't a day that went by that he wished that he was actually working, teaching the students at Smallville High but he wasn't. Despite what he did to his wife and his mother he felt no sympathy that his wife was in Belle Reeve and was almost sent to death for something he did.

Summers House

"You can't hide out here forever you know...you have to tell them sometime...just let them know that you don't want to go back there" said Eric later that afternoon

"Easier said than done…"Jimmy said

Jimmy looked at Eric and he knew what he had to do…he picked up the phone and his phone number at home

Olsen House

"Oh Jimmy….I'm so happy that you are safe" Julie said on the phone

After much debate with her son, Julie promised her son that he would never return to that asylum, just as long as he came home the next day. Jimmy thought it over and agreed that he would return to Metropolis the next day. Julie hung up the phone excited to tell her husband that their son was fine and that he would be returning home the next day which was Sunday and he was starting school again on Monday. Before she could talk to her husband the doorbell rang…standing at the door was an obviously battered woman in well worn clothes….

"Julie Olsen? Is my son here?" asked the woman at the door
