Chris answered with his usual
"Larabee" "Agent Larabee, this is Det. Martin with DPD, we have a positive
fingerprint match with an Andrea Mitchell. Could you ask Mr. Tanner if he knows
her?" Chris covered the phone and asked Vin when he returned to the phone it was
to tell Det. Martin "No Vin doesn't know her."
"Okay, we'll let you know
when we pick her up, do you think Mr. Tanner would be able to answer a few
questions tonight?"
"Actually Det. I think tommorrow would be
better."
"All right bring him to the 7th precient at 10:00 a.m. thank you."
With that the connection went dead.
Vin looked at Chris, who told Vin about
his conversation. Nathan saw Vin trembling and after a token argument convinced
Vin to get some rest. When he returned the other's were discussing the
situation. "I ain't never seen Vin so scared, hell didn't think it was possible.
Nathan how do we help Junior through this?"
"Yeah, I don't want to say the
wrong thing and I've never known anyone man or woman who went through something
like this."
"Buck, JD the best thing we can do is just be there for him, I
doubt any of has experience with this JD, just be yourself and treat Vin like
always." Chris looked around the room at his friends 'brothers', he knew they
would all be there for Vin, he just hoped it would be enough. A few hours after
dinner as they discussed who would spend the night and who would go home, a
scream of pain and terror broke the night. Almost as one they ran to Vin's room,
to find him huddled in the corner, frightened out of his mind. "Hey, cowboy why
don't you let my help you back to bed?"
"Please don't hurt me." Chris wasn't
sure which was worst the fear or pain in those few words, he only knew Vin
needed their help and they didn't know how to help him. After a few minutes Vin
looked up "Chris, what happened? Why am I on the floor?" Chris didn't know what
to say finally Nathan answered "Vin, you had a nightmare, when we came in you
were in the corner." Vin returned to the bed, the nightmare was coming back to
him, they were both after him Andrea Mitchell and 'him' he couldn't get away,
they were hurting him and laughing at his screams. After a couple of hours
Nathan finally convinced him to take one of the sedatives Dr. Anderson had
prescribed. One by one the others retired for the night afraid for their
brother, each praying for him in his own way. The next several days were a
continuation of the same thing, no one was sleeping much as Vin's nightmares
kept them all on edge.

The screams woke them all, as they helped Vin back
to bed, Nathan knew they couldn't go on like this. "Vin, look at me, you have to
talk about this with someone, us or a therapist, you can't go on like this, hell
we can't go on like this." Vin shook his head violently as he curled into a
ball. Chris looked at Nathan, at first he had been angry that Nathan would speak
to Vin like that, but then he realized Nathan was right. "Vin, Nate's right come
on cowboy, do you really want that bitch to have this kind of power over you?"
Vin looked up in shock, he hadn't thought of that, "It's not just her Chris, in
my dreams she's after me but he's helping her and I can't get away. They catch
me and just keep hurting me over and over and it never stops. When I scream they
just laugh and say better get used to it boy."
"Wait, Vin who are you
talking about? Who is he?" Chris asked.

Taking a deep breath Vin told
them about him. "His name is Roy Davis, he was my foster father from the time I
was 13 until I ran away at 15. He started to come into my room about 6 months
after I went to live with him and his wife. He started with just touching me, I
didn't know what to do, he was a big guy and I's afraid of what he'd do to me if
I tried to fight 'em. After a couple of weeks I worked up the nerve to to tell
my social worker what had been going on. She told me I should be ashamed of
myself for lying about a good man after he took me in like he done, that was bad
enough, but then she told Davis what I said. After she left he took me to the
basement and punished me for telling, said I shoulda knowed nobody's believe me.
I's just another piece of trash and I should be grateful for what I had, that I
wasn't worth anything else. In my nightmare, he's there with Andrea, helping her
hurt me, telling me it's what I deserve, for daring to think I's worth
anything."

When Vin finished speaking everyone was silent with shock.
They had suspected he might have gone through stuff like that when he was a kid
and now this mess with Andrea Mitchell. No wonder if had resurrected this ghost
from his past, after several minutes of silence, Vin stood to go outside. "Vin
are you allright?" "Yeah cowboy just need some air." Vin paced on the deck, not
sure what to do. Would the guys even want him around now that they knew. As he
approached the far side of the deck he looked up into Andrea Mitchell's eyes.
Before he could react she pointed a gun at him, "Don't fight me Vin, I don't
want to hurt you or your friends."
"No you leave them out of this."
"You
haven't left me much choice Vin, why did you go to the cops? I love you don't
you know that by now. Let's move this inside, you do what I say and no one will
get hurt." She motioned with her gun and he turned towards the house. "I can't
let you hurt the guys, I ain't going no further, you say you love me, how could
you? Ya don't even know me, ya hurt me and ya think that shows love."
"Don't
say that I do love you, you have no right to say I don't. If you won't move I'll
shoot you and when they come to investigate I'll shoot them, now move!" Vin
stepped in the door and she motioned him to a chair in the kitchen. She stood
behind him with her back to the wall "Chris Larabee I want all of you in the
kitchen now!" Chris and the guys looked at each other, what the hell, Chris
motioned JD and Nathan to stay in the living room and the others proceeded to
the kitchen. "Do you think I'm stupid? Tell the other 2 to get in here or else."
JD and Nathan heard what she said and stepped into the kitchen. "What do you
want Andrea?"
"Well Chris I'll tell you, I want Vin and I want you to pay for
trying to keep us apart."
"Andrea, Chris ain't keeping us apart, I don't
love you, you hurt me and I feel nothing for you." Andrea screamed in rage and
before anyone could move she fired into Vin's shoulder he slumped forward but
didn't fall. It was at this point they saw he was cuffed to the chair. Six
voices called his name as Chris and Nathan moved towards him, suddenly he was
jerked backwards by a hand on his hair. "Don't say that" Andrea snarled at him.
"All of you sit down over there" she yelled, pointing to the opposite wall.
"Please Andrea if you love Vin let Nathan help him." Andrea laughed and shook
her head. "It's his own fault if he would behave I wouldn't have to punish him.
Isn't that right Vin?" When he didn't answer she squeezed his injured shoulder
"Please, stop I'll be good." Vin sounded like a little boy as he whimpered in
pain. He looked at his friends and saw the disgust on their faces, he didn't
blame them he knew they were seeing him for the first time. 'Now they know what
a pathetic loser I am.' He couldn't have been further from the truth. The rest
of team 7 was disgusted with this bitch for what she was doing to Vin and with
themselves for failing to protect him.

"Let's see I'll bet it was Chris'
idea to call the cops. I know your just jealous Mr. Larabee, you probably want
him for yourself. Of courst I don't blame you he is a beautiful man, but he
belongs to me."
"I don't belong to nobody, get yer hands off of me." Andrea
hit him in the face with the gun for this remark. She then ripped his shirt open
snarling "If you don't belong to me then what is this?" Vin shuddered at the
feel of her hands on him. 'How am I gonna get out of this? I gotta escape and
keep her from hurting the guys.' "Maybe, I should kill your friends, then you
won't have anyone but me. What do you think Vin is that the solution to this
problem?"
"No, please I.... I'll do whatever ya want, just don't hurt them.
Please I'll go away with you if ya let them go."
"Oh, but darling if I kill
them you'll still go away with me and I won't have to worry about them." With
that remark she stepped in front of Vin and pointed the gun towards the others.
Before she could fire, Vin kicked out knocking her off balance, giving the
others the chance they needed. After Andrea was subdued, Chris released Vin and
Nathan began examining his shoulder. "Nathan, how is he?"
"He should be fine
Chris, the bullet went through cleanly, but we do need to get him to the
hospital."
"Okay you and Buck take him, we'll wait for the cops and then meet
you there." Buck and Nathan carried Vin to Buck's truck, Vin didn't blame Chris
for not wanting to be there with him. How could he expect Chris to be his friend
now. Buck and Nathan looked at each other, both worried as they watched Vin
sitting between them while tears streamed down his face. At the hospital Vin was
taken to surgery to repair the damage done by the bullet. Chris and the others
made their way to the surgery waiting room where they found Nathan and Buck.
Nathan told them Vin had benn in surgery for a couple of hours and they hadn't
heard anything yet. After another hour the doctor came out and informed them Vin
would be fine and would need to spend the night in the hospital, barring
complications he would be released the next morning.

Vin looked up in
surprise when Chris came into the room with a bag of clean clothes for him "Hey,
you about ready to get out of here? If you feel up to it we can stop for lunch
before we go to the ranch. Vin what is it, why do you look surprised?" Vin
swallowed around the lump in his throat, "Ya mean it Chris, ya really want me
around?"

It was Chris' turn to be shocked "Of course I do why wouldn't I
want you around?"
"Yer kidding right, why would ya want a pathetic loser like
me around?"
"Goddamn it Vin don't you ever talk about yourself like that
again. You are one of the strongest men I know and the only thing pathetic about
you are your eating habits."
"How can ya say that Chris, ya heard me begging.
Ya know what I let Mr. Davis use me for. I let that bastard rape me over and
over for two years, and now I let Andrea Mitchell do the same thing. They're
right I'm worthless." Vin looked up as he heard a gasp and saw the others just
inside the door. "Stop it Junior",Buck growled,"get your head up, you have
nothing to be ashamed of. Hell ya ought to be proud, I don't know how you came
through all of that and remained sane. I'll tell ya I don't think I could have."
Vin couldn't believe his ears or his eyes as he saw the others nodding in
agreement with Buck's words. "Vin, son how could you believe we would ever think
of you like that?" the pain in Josiah's voice as he asked this was obvious.
"It's what they all said, I's a pathetic loser, worthless never amount to
anything. Guess that's why it was easy enough to believe ya'll would think the
same. Specially once ya knew about Mr. Davis and Andrea Mitchell, what I let
them do to me."
"You know better now, right?" Chris asked, Vin nodded but
they could tell by the look in his eyes he wasn't completely convinced. Deciding
it could wait until later Chris got everyone out of the room so Vin could get
dressed. Once they arrived at the ranch Vin was worn out from the short trip and
opted to take a nap. In truth he needed some time alone to think. He still
couldn't believe they still cared about him, hell what kind of man lets a woman
rape him. In his dreams they laughed at him for letting a woman have her way
with him. They turned their backs in disgust when he cried out in pain. As he
begs them to stay they just laugh and walk away. He awoke with a strangled cry,
it took several minutes to remember where he was. 'God I want to believe them,
but what if it's just pity, don't think I could stand that.' Later that night
Chris began the conversation they all felt was needed. "You know Vin a lot of
people have wondered how tem 7 works so well. We are all so different from one
another we shouldn't get along at all. Yet not only do we get along, we work
really well as a team and a family. You see Vin that's the thing we're not just
friends, we're brothers, family and family doesn't walk away when one of their
own is hurting. They sure as hell don't blame that brother for something that's
not his fault."

"Son, you know Chris is right, there is nothing you could
have done to stop either of these people. Roy Davis was an adult and you were a
child. The fact that it took you two years to run only proves he was very good
at manipulating and terrorizing you." Vin interrupted him, "Yeah but I should
have been able to stop Andrea, I bigger and stronger than her."
"That's bull
Vin, hell I'm the youngest one here and even I know it wasn't your fault, you
were zapped with a tazer and couldn't move, what were you supposed to
do?"
"JD's right Junior, she caught you off guard and zapped you, she had you
chained before you were able to move. If that had happened to one of us you'd be
the first to say it wasn't our fault. Well Junior the same applies to you." Buck
practically growled. "Our young friend is quite right Vin, this is in no way
your fault."
"Thanks Ezra, hell all of ya, ya don't know what it means to
me."
"Vin," Nathan began,"we all care about you. You are our family, you are
the heart of this strange collection of brothers and we all of us want you right
here where you belong." Vin could only nod he was too overcome with emotion to
speak.

It took several more weeks before Vin was able to enter his
apartment and a couple of months before he could live there again. The memories
of that night were to strong in that apartment. He burned his bed and bought a
new one, without a head or footboard. On the day he returned home the others
came over for dinner. Before the pizza arrived Vin asked them for a moment,
"Ya'll I'm not sure I can say how much your support has meant to me, but I
wanted to tell you as family goes a man couldn't have any better." As they
looked at one another as one they raised their glassed and spoke "To
Brotherhood"

REMINDER TO
ALL!!!!
The previous version of Makebelieve is being transferred to this
upgraded section of the site. I am *slowly* working through the fandoms and
moving them over here. If you've had a story posted in the older version it
would save me a lot of time if you were to reload into this version of the site.

Once a fandom has been completely transferred, the links are removed on the
old site so if you find a fandom missing, its very likely over here now.
