Sara

Beep, Beep, Beep.

This is what woke Sara Sidle up.

As she turned to look for her pager, she sighed.

God, I feel like I have the worst hangover in the world…and why does my house smell like the docks?

When her eyes adjusted to the dark, she took in a sharp breath.

Where the hell am I?

She stood up, and only then did the lights flicker on. Her eyes automatically searched for a door, but what she saw was not what she expected. Standing there was a man, six feet in height, with a lithe, muscular body. His face was covered in a mask, but his bright green eyes stood up from the otherwise covered face.

"Finally, your up you lazy little girl. You were going to miss the best part! "

Sara said nothing. She knew that is she said anything at the moment, it would just make the whole situation even worse then it already was. There was another beep, and the man seemed to brighten up.

"Goodie! Greg's up! "
Sara's heart stopped at those words.

He has Greg……my god…please let him be okay…

The man turned to Sara and smiled.

"You look sad. Am I messing with your friend? Your lover? "
He shook his head and walked to the door.

"Be back soon toots. Be back soon. "

And with that he left, drowning Sara in the Darkness.

Nick

The noise of static filling the room is what woke Nick up. He moaned once, and sat up, wiping his eyes.

Where the hell am I?

He stood up, bumping around until he found a light switch. When light flooded the room, he winced.

It was better with the lights off…this place is horrible!

He turned around, and was taken aback when he saw a TV, DVD, and VCR player, connected with so many cords that he could barely tell one from the other.

Talk about Twilight zone…

He took a look at the fading wallpaper, and shivered. He walked over to the TV, hoping it had some answers. When he reached to turn it on, he saw a flash of gold on his hand. His wedding ring. He smiled, but that smile soon turned to a frown, and his face flooded with concern.

Where's Sara?

He took in a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

She's fine Nick, she's fine….I hope so…

With that, he turned the TV on, and was surprised when all he saw was black. He was about to turn it when light flooded the TV screen. He looked at the image on the TV, and was surprised to see a woman, and a man standing at the door.

Is this a live feed?

"Finally your up you lazy little girl! You were about to miss the…"
His words faded out though, as Nick took a closer look to the girl now standing up.

"Sara?!"

When his attention finally focused back on the words, the man was already leaving. All he heard was toots. When the man closed the door, Nick laid his hand on the TV set, and resisted the urge to cry. At that moment though, he could hear soft sobs coming from the speakers.

"Sara! Sara honey! I'm coming to get you! You hear me?!"
He stood up, and looked around. When he saw the door, he ran up to it, trying everything he could to break it down. He finally fell to the floor, crying. That's when he heard Sara say from the speakers,

"Greg!"

Greg

Beep Beep, Beep!

Greg groaned, and turned to the source of the noise.

"Just five more minutes mom…"

Then light flooded the room. Greg opened his eyes, and took in a deep breath.

Where in the world am I?

"Funny, didn't know I was your mom, but if you swing that way…"

Greg stood up, and looked at the man.

"Who the hell are you? Where the hell am I? "

The man walked closer to him, and said,

"I am the man who watches your every step. I am the man who decides if you live, or if you die. And you sir, are in purgatory. "

The man smiled, and walked closer to him.

"Don't worry though, I pass easy judgment. "
And with that, he knocked Greg out, and dragged him back to Sara's room.
