The sun was coming up; he could see the light creeping under the barn doors. He had been in the cage most of the night. After Cho and the other agents left he heard Keller coming into the attic. His arms were killing him from hanging up from the floor. Keller had something in his hand, that Jane had seen before, and remembered the pain. Keller was holding a cattle prod he told Jane in a voice that meant business that they were going to the barn and he would brook no trouble from him. He was taken back to the barn and put in the cage. He lay down and curled up, hoping he would get feeling back in his arms. Now that a new day has started what did Keller have in mind. He offered the man money that he got from Mrs. Keller even more, but Keller didn't want money, and that worried Jane.

Cho and Abbott are sitting at the small diner, Cho is looking over the notes he has on Jane. "The Air Stream is on its way to the lab, checking for any finger prints, maybe there will be that we can trace back to Jane's past."

"How many files are there?"

"Enough that we are going to have help going through them, and that's just his past life. The cases he was on with the CBI are at least three or four cartons." Cho says looking at Abbotts surprised look. "I knew he closed a lot of cases, that many?

"That's why he was the golden boy….He made our team the team with more cases closed every year he was with us. I'm willing to bet it isn't someone from the CBI cases, it's someone from his show biz days."

Both men quiet, both hoping that Jane is alright.

Jane is sitting up in the cage as best he can; there isn't enough room for him to straighten his legs. He hears voices coming towards the barn door, but he can't turn around to see who is coming in. Finally the door opens and four men come in. They stop when they see Jane, he smiles and waves at them.

"Could one of you gentlemen open the door here before Mr. Keller gets here?"

The three men look scared and shake their heads no. One gets a little closer.

"Sorry….we can not do that, Mr. Keller has a very big temper, he will fire us and call immigration to have our family picked up…you must do as he says." He motions to the other three men and they go over and pick up some equipment and leave the barn. Jane looks unsettled with the past conversation.

A short time later Keller comes in the barn, he goes over and unlocks the cage, and motions for Jane to get out. He is carrying the cattle prod. Jane manages to get out and stand up, his legs a little shaky.

"Mr. Keller, the FBI will be looking for me. I work for them and have to report in every day." Jane starts off; Keller holds his hand up for him to stop.

"Don't want to hear another word from you, now get on going out of this barn, you're going to start paying me back the money that's coming to me." He motions to Jane to start walking with the cattle prod. Jane starts for the barn door. Later that night the farm workers about ten of them, including Jane are in a small work shed, all seated quietly. Jane looks exhausted and ready to fall over from the chair. He can't remember the last time he felt so tired, so sweaty, and dirty. Keller comes in and goes over to a radio and turns it on, and a man's voice comes over the air.

"Brothers and Sister tonight we are going to talk about what we can do for our Church of Eden. I know you keep sending in your money, but I always seem to need a little more from you." Jane is half listening to the man, thinking Keller is being taken in by preacher, as much as he wife was taken in by him. He starts to relax in the chair, when the man beside him nudges him quickly and shakes his head when Keller isn't watching. Jane looks around to see all the workers sitting up straight. He tries to do it, but he is too tired, and he closes his eyes, just for a couple of seconds he plans. The next thing he knows is being pushed out of the chair and onto the floor. All the men move away quickly as Keller goes over to Jane. He has a wide belt in his hand and before Jane can move the belt comes across his back, it seems to go on forever and everything goes black. He wakes up in the cage; Keller has thrown a bucket of water on him. Jane tries to sit up, but the pain in his back is too painful to move.

"This is what happens when you break the rules Mr. Jane, seems you broke a lot of them and never got any punishment from it. You will here….we listen to Pastor Jordon every night, and from now on I expect you to sit up and stay awake." He turns and leaves the barn, turning out the light. There is no way for Jane to get comfortable; he is wet, cold, and hungry.

More to come…..thanks for reading
