Chapter 2

"Get him up," Cheng said to the guard. The guard kicked Jack in the stomach then pulled Jack up onto his feet. Jack was then brought out to the torturing room. He was strapped to chair by his wrists and ankles. On the table a few feet away was a single rusty nail.

Cheng said something in Chinese to the guard who then grabbed the nail off the table. Then the guard kneeled down in front of Jack and placed the nail under one of Jack's fingernails.

"You want to stop for lunch?" Jack asked.

"Tired?" Audrey teased, as they jogged like they did every Saturday.

"No," Jack said, defensively. "Just hungry."

Audrey slowed to a walk and took a sip from her water bottle then handed it to Jack. He took a sip. They walked into a small restaurant and ordered.

"You know I'm surprised you can keep up with me," Audrey teased.

"Really? Because I was going to say the same to you," Jack joked. He reached across the table casually and grabbed her hand. "But then again, I do slow down for you."

Audrey smiled, knowing full well that it was true. But, she liked to tease him anyway. "That's what they all say."

"All your other boyfriends?" Jack asked.

"Yep," Audrey said. "Does that make you jealous?"

"Insanely," Jack said, kissing her hand.

Jack's fingers were bleeding now as they brought him back to his cell. He could tell Cheng was getting more and more agitated as time went on. Jack curled up in the corner of his cell wishing that he could just go home to Audrey.

Yet at the same time he was hoping that she had moved on. He thought she deserved more than him. He didn't want her to wait for him when he knew that he would rot in this prison until he died.

"How do I look?" Audrey asked, spinning in her navy blue bride's maid dress.

"I think you need to change," Jack said, seriously.

"Excuse me?"

"Your friend is going to hate you if you look prettier than her in her wedding pictures," Jack said. Audrey slapped him playfully on the arm.

"Trust me. Jess looks amazing in her dress," Audrey said, tying Jack's tie.

"You're a hundred times prettier," Jack said.

"You've never even met her," Audrey said.

"I don't think that changes anything."

Jack's hands were throbbing now and were swollen. Jack knew he was probably getting an infection. He knew that Cheng would send in the doctor soon to look at him. Cheng always had to make sure that Jack wasn't going to die. He wouldn't let Jack go that easily.
