A/N: Hello all! Sorry I've been away for so long. I've received a few encouraging reviews to keep going and I wanna say thank you! Y'all are just wonderful. I had doubts with the fanfic, but I'll try to keep on track. Well, here goes it!:

A slam and a scream was heard. Kelsey howled and screeched in pain, cursing the men around her to hell. They had broken her index finger using a brick. Again, they recorded her reaction. Lokesh licked his lips in pleasure and asked, "Are you willing to talk?"

"Fuck you!" she proclaimed, her chains restraining her from kicking the man she hated the most. Rarely had she ever cussed, but this? This was an exception.

J was amongst two other guards, his gaze cast down to the ground. He cringed as he heard the brick slam down and the sound of her fingers crunching under the force made him sick. Her blood curdling scream chilled him. "Answer me properly! Tell me where you put the Damen Amulet piece!" Lokesh hissed.

J looked to see he had broken her thumb that time. "I don't know where it is! I didn't put it anywhere!" Kelsey answered hoarsely. Her voice broke as she uttered the last word.

"Liar!" The brick came down on her middle finger. She shrieked in hurt and anger. "You gave it to them, didn't you?"

Sobs racked her body, her breath came out in ragged breaths and her heart raced. Kelsey couldn't move, couldn't do anything to help or protect herself. She heard the brick slam down twice before she felt the pain in her pinky and ring finger. She took a deep breath, trying in vain to hold the excruciating pain in, but couldn't help the sound of sheer agony erupting from her throat. Lokesh had damaged her left hand's fingers considerably, and there was probably little J could do to help heal them. Just wrapping them would be insufficient.

Lokesh turned to her phone, which still recorded the torturous event, and announced menacingly, "If you do not hurry, she will not be saved from harms way. I'll be sure to inflict more damage in the future. Your clock is ticking."

Kelsey's scream was audible through the tiny phones speaker and so was the echoing sound of her fingers snapping and crunching under the brick Lokesh used. It killed Ren and Kishan to even watch it. They were headed to Mumbai, where her chip says she's located, and had stopped when Ren felt his phone vibrate in the bag slung around his broad tiger back. "Answer me properly! Tell me where you put the Damen Amulet piece!" Lokesh growled, lifting the brick threateningly.

"I don't know where it is! I didn't put it anywhere!" Kelsey cried out.

"Liar!" The brick came down on her middle finger sharply. "You gave it to them, didn't you?"

Heart wrenching sobs was her answer. Wide eyes were filled with glittering tears that tracked down her face in streams. She struggled against her restraints, but it was completely futile. At her lack of a reply, Lokesh scowled and broke the last remaining fingers of her left hand. He whipped around to face the camera. "If you do not hurry, she will not be saved from harms way. I'll be sure to inflict more damage in the future. Your clock is ticking."

The video ended abruptly and Kishan's eyes were wide in horror. Ren closed the phone, clenching his jaw and his vision blurred with tears yet to fall. The brothers glanced at each other and took to their tiger forms, darting through the trees to get to their destination quickly. They had two to three days more or less left on their journey, yet they knew they had possibly less to get there. Their resolve was strengthened at the recent video. They would stop at nothing and nothing would stop them in saving the girl they loved.

Kelsey gasped sharply at the pain shooting down her hand as J tried straightening her broken pinky. She bit down on her lip hard, leaving her teeth to dig into the tender flesh and broke the skin. Her lip began to bleed and J released his hold on her hand to take a towel to her mouth, removing the blood pooling there.

"Damn it Kelsey, don't do that," he admonished worriedly, and let her bite the towel as he began working on her fingers once more. She made a choking sound as he pulled at her ring finger cautiously. "Sorry, I know it hurts. You just have to keep still. I'm not really that good at straightening broken bones, but I'm the only one you got for now."

Kelsey grunted softly in response once he let her ring finger go and then he pulled her middle finger, leaving her to shriek. It came out muffled past the towel. Cusses were elicited from her, but nothing came out clear and J ignored her, moving to her index finger quietly.

Kelsey jumped at J's suddenness and accidentally kicked him in the gut instinctively. J grunted before shaking it off and started working her thumb. At last, he finished and wrapped each finger individually carefully. "Do you want to know what Lokesh plans for you next?" he asked, voice timid. J removed the towel in her mouth and she shook her head.

"No. I'll be fine J," Kelsey whispered, her right hand gliding over her left softly, being sure as to not hurt her damaged hand. "I'd rather not dwell on what he may or may not do to me."

He nodded, eyes saddening. "I understand. I wish I could help more."

"What you're doing is monumental. I'm glad at least someone cares about what happens to me in this place."

J cleared his throat and winced. "I'm not the only one Kelsey."

She turned to look at him, a frown placed upon her face. "Who else?"

He pointed up at the camera in the corner of the room. Its red light blared down at them, signaling they were recording them. "My twin sister, Jae Hwa is up there in security surveillance to make sure no one sees what I'm doing for you. My elder brother is the officer that guards you from the outside. You asked him a question on the first day you woke up, but he wasn't able to answer for the simple fact that Jae Hwa wasn't monitoring the surveillance then. Lokesh moved him outside the door just in case he was tempted to speak to you."

Kelsey thought back, but couldn't really remember the man's features. He was Asian, but she never really assessed him. "I don't really remember him."

"That's alright," J said, waving it away. "But just to let you know, we're all working to set you free."

"But why?"

"I told you before," he murmured albeit sadly. "I think you're the only one who can help me."

A/N: … And this concludes my lovely chapter. Please review, I would be so grateful. I'm not one to withhold chapters for so-and-so many reviews, but I'd really like it if you'd click the little unoffending review button and leave me a nice (or not-so-nice) comment on how I'm doing. Thanks to those who reviewed! Til next time, ja ne!
