While Jeff was out, Jerry came too and noticed he'd been tied up. The chains were not very well tightened as much as Jeff had thought he'd made them tight enough, the boy was able to wriggle his way out from their grasp. Jerry looked around and picked the chain up. It was surprisingly light, he was a tad annoyed at his father. If he could get out of this type of bind, then what was going to happen when Jerome took over him again and he was able to break loose.

"Ugh, stupid dad...one job , he had one job!"

The boy huffed and then began to walk towards the living room door , he pushed it open and spotted the hallway to the basement. He was determined...he'd look. He'd look and he would see just what his father was doing down there...also...he had a feeling Mama was there. She hadn't been in the living room nor the hallway...so she had to be there.

"She could be out with dad...nah, by the fighting they did...she didn't seem to like him very much , nor get on with him..maybe she ran away from him cause of his anger...but, living with dad..it's not bad after a while. He is nice when he wants to be. I just have to tell her that, yea! I'm sure she'll be okay when I confirm it."

The teen smiled as he walked to the basement and tried to open it but, the door was locked and he frowned. Jeff must have really not wanted him to see whatever was going on in that room...this just furthered his curiosity and his annoyance. It wasn't fair to lock him out of something,they were meant to be partners in this were they not.

Jerry walked away from the door and began to think of places the key could be. But then he got a better idea and he ran upstairs to the room that he'd seen the woman and his father in the day earlier. It was scattered with bottles and crisps. Maybe his father left her cause she was dirty... From the room here...he could see that.

"She shouldn't be so unclean...."

The boy murmured and then spotted a drawer. He opened it and then froze at the contents of it, now he'd known that girls dressed differently..but the thing in his hands made no sense to him. What did they hold? He sniffed them and they smelled fruity. Jerry walked to the mirror and began to pose with them, putting them on his head and then around his chest.

"They aren't gun holders...or knife holders, so what do you use them for, weird girls.."

Putting them down, he looked under the bed and screamed as something stared back at him with gold eyes.

The boy grabbed the nearest weapon. A brush and braced himself but...from the dark came a small black kitten. Jerry let out a sigh of relief and placed the brush down, he started to bend over and pick the kitten up.

"Hay, lil guy...you done near scared me to death."

He laughed as the kitten just mewled and paws at his hand. He held it out in front of him and the kitten put a paw on his nose.

"Don't s'pose you know where the key is little guy, huh?"

Jerry asked and the kitten just tilted it's head, so he set it down and started to look again. He knew that it's around here somewhere but...where? Then he spotted a box and opened it. There was a key in there and he jumped for joy. He looked at the small kitten and bit his lip. The only pet he ever had, was killed for food by his father...so...he wanted one he could care for , his secret!

"You'll be my secret pet. Even though you're Mama's pet , you can be mine too right?"

He asked and the kitten just rolled on it's stomach. He took that as a yes.

Jeff meanwhile, was using the girls card to buy things for the kids birthday. It'd been on this day...11 years ago that he had kidnapped the child and raised him as his own son. So he thought why not give the kid a day to feel normal for once. He'd not bring any murders home and he'd spend it with the kid and that bitch of his. But also thinking of that, he should lay off of punishing her today. Since it's Jerry's day...maybe, he will get him to do something to her.

"I can order him a prostitute and then we can kill her. Most teenagers like that, right? Shouldn't be hard to find one lingering around the slums. Or maybe...I can briefly take him to the Nega Verse...it's risky...but I'm sure he'd like that large lake. Like...where I took her...."

The man went silent and then shook his head, no , he'd not remember that time with her. If he was going to punish her, and make her sorry. He had to be catatonic and emotionless through it. Any slight slip, and he would falter her rehab.

"I'll take the kid hunting for prostitutes to kill. Some father son bonding."

Jeff smirked as he walked to the cashier and he paid for the items he'd bought. Many stared at him and he felt the pressure of their glances on him, he had to remain calm and not give his identity away. The cashier looked and spoke.

"Sir, the young woman who owns this card, where is she?"

She asked him and he played it cool.

"I'm her fiancé. She is feeling ill and I have just recovered from a fatal attack . Face burnt to crisp, all that mess."

The woman held her hands to her mouth and nodded to him as she placed a hand on his own.

"God bless and get better sir"

Jeff felt his skin crawl as he heard this and nodded , when he left the store. He had the most hateful glare in his eyes , staring at the store clerk.

"God...Hah....when I was being tormented, harassed and beaten...where the fuck was god. Don't make me puke...stupid sheep."

He'd found just who to kill next on his list.

Jerry walked up to the basement door and put the key in, the key fit into the lock and Jerry felt his heart stop. The door was pushed open and the light shown on the half naked body of Krystal, bound and scarred.

The boy stopped in his tracks and felt his eyes going wide.

"....Mama?"

He called but there was no response, the boy made his way down and looked at the different items strewn out. Hammers, knives and syringes...what had his father been doing. Jerry looked to Krystal and then down to her chest, he shielded himself from the image as he tried to feel his way towards an item to free her. But as morbid luck would have it...his hand ended up gripping something else. The boy felt his eyes shoot open as he stared at where his hand was and the girl was now just coming too.

When Krysta seen his hand on her breast. She all but wanted to scream her lungs out, Jerry shot his hand away and recoiled. He didn't know why, but he felt severely embarrased doing that to her, even though he'd seen his father do this to other women he'd lure to the van.

"Mama, you're awake!"

He said happily but the girl was far from it. She was scared and she was exhausted, however, she could use this kid to free herself maybe. Krystal looked down at him and began to speak.

"Yea...uh.. Can you let me down?"

She asks and the boy shook his head.

"I can't reach the switch, dad is taller than I am or I'd let you down. But...weren't you bad. Isn't that way dad out you there. To give you a time out?"

The girl stared at him and felt bewildered, she was naked..tied up and that's all he thought about. Didn't he know what his father was doing to her? Hadn't he known that he kidnapped her years prior. Krystal began to wriggle and squirm but the more she did, the more the cuffs cut I to her wrist.

"Listen, Jerry is it?"

She asked and he nodded.

"I need you to get....'Daddy' to unlock this...but...you should get out of here before he gets back or you'll be in trouble and you'll get hurt. Your dad is a bad man."

Jerry shook his head and spoke.

"Dad is sick. He just needs to get help , I want him to get better and that way, he won't cry at night."

This shocked the girl very much..Jeff cries? She thought he was so macho. But guess he put up a front to fake it.

Jerry started to walk up the stairs when he heard the door open and Jeff speak.

"Jerry, I'm home son"

The boy rushed as fast as he could to the top and listened for the footsteps that fastly approached, luckily he locked it and was walking away when Jeff walked in.

"...what .. How did you get out of the chains and...why are you near there..."

He said accusingly. Jerry scoffed softly.

"You didn't tie them hard enough and, well...I wondered where Mama was. She isn't upstairs...so...were is she."

The heart in his chest could have stopped if Jeff so much as guessed he'd lied but...he again, seemed not to know the wiser.

"You'll see Mama soon, her and daddy have special time down in the basement. One day, daddy will let you see what goes on."

Jeff stated as he ruffled the kids hair and then walked by, but as fast as a flash, he grabbed him in a chokehold and whispered.

"If I so much as find that you're lying, I'll make sure you don't live to 16.... Happy birthday son!"

Fast as the anger came, it was replaced with a merry tone and Jeff was off.

"Ah shit, I forgot the key...oh, yea it's upstairs."

Jeff said as he used the stairs next to the basement and rushed up to the bedroom. He spotted the room was a tip and that the keys were gone. The joy he felt vanished and now...he was pissed off. He yelled at the top of his voice.

"JEROMEY ALLAN WOODS!!!!"

From where he stood, Jerry for the first time in a long while..

Wet himself.
