Calling Jack

Chapter 10

In The Kitchen
Jack, Tim and Amy are in the kitchen eating.
"I'm so worried. About Ty..." Amy said under her breath.
"How is he?" Jack said.
"He was crying last that he shouldn't have let his mom go to jail, I felt so bad for him," Amy said Sadly.
"No she deserved what she got," Tim stated.
"We know that. It's him mom...it's not that simple to him," Amy Said sadly.
"Well he didn't have any nightmares last night so that is good sign," Jack said.
They hear a cry from the living room.
"You spoke too soon Jack," Tim said.
Jack sighs.
"Dammit!" Jack said, annoyed.
"Grandpa, he can't help it!" Amy said, defensively.
" I know that... I just thought he'd be okay, I'm worried about him," Jack said.

In The Living
Jack walks into the living room and sees Ty is covered in sweat and tossing and turning. He whimpers and tosses over. Jack walks over to Ty and shakes him softly.
"Ty, Ty wake up," Jack said softly.
Ty jumps awake.
"Jack! What are you doing?" Ty asked, scared.
"Ty it's alright, it was just a Dream," Jack said Softly.
Ty shakes his head with tears in his eyes.
"It felt so real..." Ty said, shaking.
"I'm sure," Jack said Softly.
Jack sits down beside him.
"Can you tell me what happened?" Jack asked.
"Jack I can't keep doing this..." Ty cried.
"I know this is hard Ty," Jack said softly.
"I-I just thought that once I finally told someone what happened...the dreams would stop," Ty said, sadly.
"Ty you've been being abused for years that was just one time there not just going to go away like that," Jack said, softly.
"But it was the worst day of my life jack!" Ty said sharply.
"I'm sure but Ty you were still extremely abused for years, This will take time," Jack said Softly.
"Maybe you're right, Ty said, sadly.
"Tell me what happened Ty,"
"Okay... I-I had just come home from school and wade was hitting my mom... So I ran over to stop him...and he turned all his angry o-on me...the next thing I knew I was getting kicked... I was trying to get away, but he pulled me back an-and..." Ty said intense pain.
He was shaking and Jack walks over and sits with Ty.
"And after he pulled you back?" Jack asked, softly.
Ty curls even closer together and slides away from Jack shaking his head.
"No, no Jack I-I can't..." Ty said in tears.
"Ty you have to tell me," Jack said softly.
There is a knock at the door.
"I'll be back," Jack Said.
Jack stands up and pats his shoulder as he walks by.

In The Kitchen
Jack walks into the kitchen and opens the door.
"Hello?" Jack asked.
"Hi, I'm looking for my son Ty Borden," Brad said.
"Oh, come with me," Jack Said.
Jack leads Brad into the living room.
"Dad!" Ty Said Shocked and tensing up.
"Can I have a minute with my son alone?" Brad asked.
Jack nods and leaves the living room.
"What the hell did you do?! Why is your mother in jail!?" Brad almost screamed at Ty.
"Because after I went back to live with mom and Wade... H-he almost beat me to death!" Ty said, defensively.
"Why didn't you call me!?" Brad questioned, pissed.
"Call you!? Seriously you never pick up the phone! Jack, he came!" Ty said defensively.
"That's not true!" Brad yelled.
"Really do you know how many times I've called you when he was hurting me! When he killed Jace!" Ty yelled.
"Don't you bring him up!" Brad screamed.
Brad slaps Ty across the face and Ty looks down sadly.
"I'm sorry," Ty said sadly.
"Now you are going to drop the charges on your mother! Come home with me! You understand me!" Brad Deemed.
"I can't..." Ty said, sadly.
"What do you mean you can't!" Brad questioned, pissed.
"Jack, he's my legal guardian now and if I let mom out I-I have to let Wade out, and he's going to kill me if I do that," Ty said, nervously.
"So you'd rather have Jack as your dad then your actual dad?" Brad questioned, pissed.
"No, no but..." Ty started, scared.
"But what!?" Brad screamed.
"Oh god! What do I say!?" Ty thought scared.
"Answer me!" Brad screamed.
Jack walks into the living room.
"What is going on!?" Jack asked, pissed.
"You took my son!!" Brad yelled, pissed.
"Took your son he was being abused! Not that you did anything about it!" Jack said, pissed.
"Well I am now! Ty, You're coming home with me and dropping those charges! The punishment you get for it you'll deserve!" Brad screamed.
"No he's not! Get out of my house!" Jack screamed.
"We'll see!" Brad said pissed.
He storms out of the house.
"Can he really take custody of me?" Ty asked, scared.
"I don't know Ty... I'll call Clint," Jack said, softly.

In The Living Room
Amy and Ty are sitting on the couch talking.
"He completely freaked out when I was in the stall with him today..." Amy sighed.
"Well What happened?" Ty asked, concerned.
"I don't know, I went in the stall with him to get the water bucket, and he started freaking out and kicked me," Amy explained.
"He kicked you!? Are you okay?" Ty asked worried.
"Yeah it's just a bruise but I can't figure out what's wrong with him? Why is he so scared of me?" Amy asked at a loss.
"I'm sure you'll figure it out, just be careful," Ty said Softly.
"Thanks, I will be," Amy said softly.
When Jack and Clint both walk in.
"Amy we need to talk to Ty alone," Jack said.
"Okay Grandpa," Amy Said.
She stands up and leaves the room while Jack and Clint both sit down with Ty.
"Hey Ty I heard you saw your father and that he wants you back," Clint said.
Ty nods nervously.
"Do you want to go back with him?" Clint asked.
"No," Ty Said nervously.
"And you're sure about that?" Clint asked.
Ty nods nervously.
"Okay, well Ty that's not going to be easy cause legally he has all rights to you..." Clint said with a sigh.
"And there's no way around it?" Jack asked.
"Only if Ty has reason to be around him such as his father hurting him or threatening him, or of course neglect," Clint explained.
"And if he had done those things?" Ty asked nervously.
"Well if he's abused you he will be arrested," Clint said.
"Like my mom and Wade where Ty?" Asked, nervously.
"Yes," Clint said.
"I can't send my dad to jail too, I don't want to live with him, he'll make me let them out and then I'll be beaten again..." Ty thought with conflicted feelings.
"Ty are you going to tell him?" Jack questioned.
