A Jecker Story - Chapter 9 - Becker's POV

We all stood from the seats and looked at the doctor waiting for the news "She's just fine, she has some swelling and a couple cuts. Because she was out cold we want to keep her in overnight for observation but she will be released tomorrow morning" He explained to us and we all let out a sigh of relief, thank God she will be OK. When I get my hands on Mark I swear to God I was going to kill him! How dare he hurt Jess like this and hurt his family I was so angry at him.

I went into her room and seen her sitting up in her bed flicking through a magazine, she had a black and swollen eye, a cut lip and a cut to her forehead "Hey, how you feeling?" I asked her and sat down in the chair next to her bed.

She turned and smiled softly at me "I'm sore but OK, where's Mark?" She asked.

"I don't know when I seen you at the bottom of the stairs I just flipped and we had a fight outside... A one sided fight and he ran off I have no idea where he is but I'm gonna find him and when I do I'm going to make him regret ever laying his hands on you I promise you, I don't care if he's your brother, he's going to pay for this Jess you can believe me when I say that" I told her.

We talked for another hour and a half then the nurse kicked me out of the room as visiting time was over, I kissed her goodbye and promised her that I would pick her up tomorrow morning and I would have Mark by then. Before I left I asked her if there was anywhere he might of gone but she didn't know his druggie hang outs, she hadn't been involved in his life for the last six months and with that we said another goodbye and I left.

As soon as I left the hospital I went straight to Matt's apartment, he as shocked to see me but when I told him what had happened he was just as angry as I was we both wanted to find him and make him pay for what he did but we didn't even know where to start. We came up with a plan to go round to Abby and Connor's and tell them what happened and get Connor to track his mobile number if he can and see where it leads us and if we can't find him that way then we will start looking for popular drug hang outs and start asking people questions.

The minute we got to Abby's she knew something was wrong but was surprised when I told her what had happened and when I told her and Connor the plan they were more then happy to help, Connor wasted no time at all in tracing his number and thankfully we got a hit on it, the area it led to was an old cinema it had been closed down for years but it hadn't been turned into anything it had just been left there it must be a druggie hang out now.

We made our way over there and as soon as we opened the door we were met with people laying on the floor out cold from their drugs, some were practically jumping on the walls and a few of them were having sex with each other which was a bit gross to watch. I seen a few people out cold on the floor as we searched for Mark and checked their pulses to make sure they were still alive and thankfully they all were. We split up into teams but were weary if the people with needles I didn't want one if them charging at me with a dirty needle.

Abby went with Emily upstairs, Connor went with Matt downstairs and I took the ground floor on my own. I walked into a room which had a sign saying 'Screen 9' above the door and as I looked around there didn't seem to be anybody in there and I was about to turn and leave but then I heard what sounded like a sigh so I went further into the room holding out the EMD I stored in my car held out in front of me.

I found Mark laying on the floor in front of the front row of the screen injecting himself with what I suspect was heroin "I've been looking for you" I said in a normal but angry voice.

Mark jumped up from the floor and made a growling sound at me and I was about to shot when he jumped and I couldn't see him but I heard his feet land to my left and as I turned I felt something sharp in my neck. I feel to the floor and felt sick I put my hand up to my neck and felt the needle sticking half in and half out of my skin. I heard footsteps run off out the door and got my phone out of my pocket and phoned Matt "Matt I found Mark send Connor and the girls after him I need you to come help me, he stuck a needle in me... A dirty one" I said as he answered the phone.

A minute or so later Matt was at my side calling an ambulance telling me everything was going to be OK, he pulled the needle out and threw it somewhere I didn't know where my eyes were closing and I was trying to stay awake but it was just so hard.

Matt's POV
When Becker's eyes closed I thought that was it we had lost him but I checked his pulse and it as still there but faintly, where the hell was that ambulance?! He was sweating but he was cold so I took my jacket off and wrapped it around him trying to warm him up, I got my phone out and phoned Connor to see what was going on with them "Have you got him?" I asked as he answered.

"Yeah Abby and Emily have him locked in a room. I've called a few soldiers to come and arrest him and lock him up, we phoned Lester and he is aware of the situation he will be waiting at the ARC for him... How's Becker?" He questioned.

"Out cold, wait for the ambulance... Where in screen 9" we hung up and I checked his pulse again it was still there but even more faint.

The ambulance finally arrived and they did some checks and asked some questions before loading him into the ambulance. I followed with Connor, Abby and Emily in my car, the soldiers had already been and taken Mark away.

At the hospital I told the doctor that he as Jess' boyfriend and asked if I could tell her and he reluctantly agreed. As I walked into her room she was still awake but reading her kindle with a lamp on, he looked at me in shock "Matt what are you doing here?" She asked confused and turned the light on.

"Jess I'm really sorry to tell you this, we all went looking for Mark and Becker found him and he was about to get him but Mark was quicker and injected Becker with a dirty needle, the ARC soldiers came and picked him up and Lester is waiting for him there where they will interview him and go through the proper channels to make sure he is punished for what he did" I explained to her.

I sat with Jess for an hour and answered any of the questions she asked, I told her that I would look after her and keep her updated on Becker and I told her that I would drive her home tomorrow or get Abby to do it and stay with her but of course Jess was adamant that when she was discharged tomorrow she was going to sit by Becker's bedside until he was better like he did for her.

Jess' POV
When I was discharged I went to Becker's bedside where he was asleep, there was a doctor looking on charts and stuff but there was one thing I wanted to know "The dirty needle he was injected with... Does Becker have any... Diseases because of this?" I asked not wanting to know the answer but needing to know the answer.

"We have sent off for blood tests but they can take a while to get back to us, anything from three weeks to three months" He explained.

"Three months?! Can nothing be done to speed the process up?" I asked.

"The lab can only go as fast as they can... There are other people who have been waiting for these results longer then your boyfriend" He sounded quite mean and left the room.

What was I going to do if Becker had HIV or Hepatitis or another one of them diseases? What if become a drug addict because of this? How would my relationship with Becker survive if he had a disease? I needed to get out of here!

I found myself at the ARC and going towards the cells where I found Mark and two men guarding him "This is my brother give me the keys I want to talk to him" They handed me the keys and took a couple of steps away but they were close enough in case I needed them. I opened his cell and walked in just staring at him and he made me fell sick "I hate you for what you have done! I hope mum and dad disown you and I swear to God if you come near me or Becker again I will kill you" I shouted at him tears falling down my face and he just laughed at me, I don't know what came over me but I just lost it and I was slapping him and punching him and kicking him when he fell to the floor.

The two guards pulled me off him and locked the cell door, I went up to Lester's office where everyone ws already, they were talking about Mark "Jess are you OK?" Abby asked.

"No I'm bloody not OK. My crazy brother pushed me down the stairs, he injected Becker with a dirty needle and has possible given him a disease he will have to live with for the rest of his life and Mark gets a cushy little cell laughing at me" Abby came over to hug me but I pushed her away "I'm not here for hugs I wanna know what your going to do to him!" I shouted.
