Unknown location Day 5
The cold nights air blows in his face; causing his limp, wet body to shake uncontrollably in the darkness. His head is spinning, but he tries to open his eyes anyway. The left one is swollen shut. Licking his lips all he tastes is blood. Another cool breezes sweeps through the room; forcing him to take the fetal position to stay warm. With every moment his entire body screams in pain. Cold, hungry, and dazed he lays on the floor; and waits.
4 hours later Chains clatter loudly as the door opens. With his good eye Goren makes out 3 large silhouettes. The first to enter has a flashlight and immediately shines it on his face. Goren's eyes try to adapt to the bright light; out of sheer instinct he lifts his arms to shield his face. But is quickly restrained by two men.
Still shining the light in his face, he wastes and no time to look him over in disgust he spits on him. Goren to weak to even flinch; leys still.
The man with the flashlight kneels down and looks directly into Goren's eyes, in a heavy Hispanic accent speaks; "Hola, mi amigo. Mi nombre es Perez. You must be Detective Goren. Now that I've introduced myself - Se para." [English: Hello, my friend. My name is Perez.]
Goren doesn't comply. This act of disobedience angers Perez. "SE PARA!" Then he motions the two men to get him up. After pulling him to his feet, Goren struggles to stay erect. His efforts are wasted because he is pushed down on his knees. [English: Stand up!]
Perez outraged by the detectives lack of respect; whispers into Goren's ear, "Tu me respetarias? You will. I will make sure of it." [English: You will (do you) respect me?]
With the guards holding him still. Perez cups his face, unzips his pants and proceeds to urinate on Goren's face. Goren grits his teeth and begins to feel ill. The guards laugh and ask for their turn.
Perez denies their request. Zips up his pants and turns to leave. In Spanish he says, "El es todo tu yo - quedate con el solo mantenlo vivo." [English: He's all yours - just keep him alive.]
The two men hoot and holler in excitement.
Goren had never formally studied Spanish in school, he had a hunch; he was 'in a world of shit.'

5 days previous
It had been 5 days since her partners disappearance. Most of the detectives thought it was a fluke when he hadn't shown up on Monday. Eames assumed he took a personal day. Deakins however didn't take well to the fact that Goren was a no show, no call and was furious. When Tuesday rolled around Eames became concerned. As much as she'd like to deny it, she didn't sleep well Monday night; she had a feeling something was wrong. She'd called him several times throughout the day, at home and his cell but never got through. Knowing he'd call back, she left a couple of messages, each sounding angrier. He never did. It wasn't until Wednesday that her hunch was confirmed.
Ring.
"Major Case, Detective Eames speaking."
"Hi, this is Carol Mills; a nurse from Carmel Ridge. I looked into your inquiry, and no, he didn't come by Saturday. His mother was very upset. So was her room-mate; Claire. Is something wrong? Up until now, he's never missed a Saturday afternoon visits."
"We're looking into it. Thank you for looking into it."
"Glad I could help you. Robert, is such a nice gentleman."
Eames could only smile at the nurses sentiments. "That he is. Well thank you again, and I'll be in touch if anything is uncovered."
"Bye."
"Bye" Hanging up the phone Eames takes a minute to collect herself before informing Deakins of the news.
Deakins' Office
"What? That means he has been missing for 5 days!" Hollers Deakins.
"Yes sir, it does. Rogers and Carson checked his apartment for prints, and put an APB out. Nothings been uncovered - yet."
Deakins, realized how hard this must be on Eames. Your partner being missing is a scary thought. "Eames, we'll find him." He didn't need to say anything more.
Eames stood there, shocked. The reality of the situation had finally hit. *Her * partner was missing. Deakins last statement raced through her mind, "we'll find him." . The words were meant to comfort her. They did just the opposite. A shiver went down her spine. "dead or alive." It wasn't really a question, nor was it meant as a statement, it was the truth.
Deakins knew there were no words to sooth away the fear or anxiety of the situation. He just stood there with her in silence.
Over the course of the next 17 hours Eames was aware that Deakins had pulled every string he had to get the investigation off the ground. So far, they had nothing; no witnesses, fibers, blood, or notes. They had no evidence and no leads. Who ever was behind of this was thorough.

Day 5
Goren didn't know how much more he could take. The two maniacs were showing no signs of slowing down. Once Perez left, they let go and let him fall over. They just laughed and conversed in Spanish.
One had a stick and struck Goren's chest and back with it. Goren whimpered and tried to crawl away. This act elicited another laugh from them. The other kicked him repeated in the chest. This went on for 10 minutes.
Goren figured they were bored and would leave. One pulled him up on his feet and held him there while the other one punched him. Every blow made Goren wish he was dead. They stopped and went to the door to find Perez standing their with a smile on his face. Goren couldn't tell what Perez handed the man who greeted him. Whatever it was, it only took three blows to his chest to make Goren lose consciousness.
