CHAPTER 4
Face half leaned against the wall and had dozed off for a while allowing his bruised and battered body to rest somewhat. He awoke brutally from his semi-peaceful slumber when the door swung open full force and Kyle entered the dimly lit room. He came in and set up the camera and placed a chair in the room. Face held his breathe in anticipation of what was yet to come.
"Time to have fun, Peck," he stated while laughing menacingly.
He walked over to Face, pulled him off of the mattress he was sitting on and nearly dragged him towards the chair he had placed in the middle of the room. He pulled Face's arms roughly behind his back and tied them together eliciting a soft hiss from his lips. Kylie walked over to the camera and pushed the record button. He walked back over to Face and towered over him.
"What's the matter, Peck? No big mouth now? Pain too much for you?"
"Nothing a little attention from that cute nurse at the hospital couldn't fix."
"You big fat liar. You're nothing but a worthless lying and cheating excuse for a Lieutenant. Those bruises are not a pick-nick in the park. You must be in a lot of pain right now."
"I've been through worse while at basecamp in 'Nam. Somehow, I seem to attract sleaze bags wherever I go and they just happen to love to take swings at me. My body has gotten used to it over the years. I mend easily."
Kyle got ever more enraged while listening to Face talk.
"Well you ain't gonna heal that easily this time, hot shot. I'll make sure of that. You're gonna wish you were never born."
He walked back up to Face and untied one of his arms. Meanwhile he started to talk to the camera.
"Okay, Smith. Here we go a second time. Still have that precious Lieutenant of yours and he's seriously starting to get on my nerves with all of his smooth talking. Don't you ever get tired of that smart mouth of his?"
He turned around and viciously hit Face in the face. He was dazed for a little while.
"If he keeps this up, he might not live to see the end of the week."
Face kept a poker face not showing any kind of emotion to his capturer, but held his breathe. Kyle was mentally unstable and capable of anything.
"But for now, I need to find something effectively to shut him up for a while."
He swiftly grabbed a hold of Face's wrist and bent it backwards full force until both bones in his arm snapped. The pain was overwhelming. All color drained from his handsome face. He had shut his eyes and did his utmost best not to cry out in pain. Kyle viciously grabbed a hold of his arm.
"Nice work. Don't you think, Peck," he said venom coating his every word.
He grabbed Face by the throat and made him open up his eyes and look at the damage done to his wrist. Face tried to get a grip as he was forced to look at his limp wrist. It was clearly noticeable that the bones had shifted already and pain shot up to his shoulder. He felt sick just looking at it, but tried to control his breathing as to not show any discomfort to his capturer.
This enraged Kyle even more. He wanted nothing more than to make the young Lieutenant scream on camera.
"What's the matter with you, Peck," he said. "Why won't you scream out in pain? It must hurt like living hell."
Face couldn't say a word, but managed to glare at his capturer. As a result Kyle forcefully grabbed his already broken wrist and twisted it even more. Face squeezed his eyes shut as pain shot throughout his entire arm. Bones snapped some more and pierced the skin of his arm and Kyle kept on adding pressure to his wrist. Face had to gasp for breath and he was as white as a sheet by now. The added pressure wasn't doing him any good. He felt sick to his stomach by now due to the pain and had a hard time keeping control of the situation. His whole body started to shake and Kyle knew he would be losing his battle soon so he kept on adding pressure to the broken bones. Finally, Face lost all control and screamed out on top of his lungs before passing out.
Once again, Kyle made sure the DVD was delivered to the team. Hannibal put it into the DVD player and the rest of the team gathered around it with worried faces. The DVD started with Kyle talking about how much he hated Face's talking and him breaking the poor guy's wrist. Pure anger was written all over Hannibal's features.
"He broke Facey's wrist just like it was some sort of twig."
"He ain't getting' away with this, crazy fool. I'm gonna make sure of that. I'm gonna hurt him real bad for doing this to Face."
"I've just about had it with that scum bag. We need to get Face out of there. Now."
"Do you have a plan, Hannibal?"
"We need to find more clues as to where he's being held. Murdock, would you rewind the DVD?"
Murdock did what he was told and when the DVD started playing once again the conversation between Face and Kyle was also shown. They guys all listened intently.
"Pause it, will ya Murdock."
"What's up, Hannibal?"
"We need to listen to the whole conversation again. I think Face is trying to get a message across to us with clues as to where he is being held."
"He is?"
"Yeah. He is. I'm sure he is. Now listen carefully."
"He talks about the cute hospital nurse, basecamp and how he mends easily."
"I believe he's being held at the basement in the hospital."
"That's right, Captain. Just what I thought too."
"He ain't dumb. Did a great job with that. But he ain't lookin' too good to me. Better go get him."
"What are we waiting for? Let's go!"
The team jumped into the van and B.A. drove it back up to the hospital. He parked the van somewhere safely hidden from sight and team discussed the tactics of their attack. They weren't too sure that Kyle was handling alone, so they had to lay low and watch the place at first. Meanwhile, Hannibal would go on all dressed up unrecognizable to have a word with the doctor and nurse as they would be needed very soon to take care of their injured teammate.
So far their plan worked out great. Hannibal managed to talk to the doctor and nurse and they would be on stand-by. The doctor had also provided him with a map of the hospital's basement which did come in handy. B.A. and Murdock had kept an eye out for Kyle and eventually he had showed up and had snuck inside of the hospital's back entrance dressed as someone from the cleaning crew.
When Hannibal returned, he was briefed by his team about Kyle. Nobody else was seen entering the back entrance of the hospital, so they assumed he was working alone on this one. The members of the team were all death serious. Images of the last DVD when Kyle had viciously broken their Lieutenant's wrist were still fresh in their minds. They were all enraged by now at what was being done to their friend and also very worried about him.
He had been tough, but his friends had seen the pale color of his skin and the utter pain etched on his handsome features. What worried them even more was that he had passed out in pain a couple of times. All they wanted to do was get him out of their alive and as soon as possible.
