Very odd update to 89 200 voltage drop

Ok, I can't figure this one out at all.
When the car ran a couple days ago. I measure 13.9 to 14 volts with my
multimeter on the jumper post. At the battery it was around 12.5 to 12.8
volts. The car didn't start this morning, so I had to use the backup 90q.
So out of curiosity, I went to measure the voltage just now.
I pulled about 5.5volts on the battery positive terminal. (either something
is draining it, or the battery is goin bad)
Now here is the weirdest thing ever. I measured almost 8 volts on the
jumper!!
How in the world can I be gaining 2 volts? I am so befuddled by this.
Since I have tomorrow off, I planned on fixing the footwell splice in the
morning. I guess I will reevaluate after that is done.
Any insight on this would be lovely. I am very confused here.
