"It's called Battle Grounds." Billy says to the group. Their standing in barn at Barney's house, though calling it a barn is a bit of an understatement. On the outside it looks like a large run down barn but on the inside it's a lot more high-tech. Half the barn is dedicated to housing their plane, while the other half has various weapons, a few vehicles of various sorts and a small meeting area. He projects the website for Battle Grounds onto a clear barn wall. "It's an extremely exclusive pay to watch streaming fight video website. It's invite only, unless you have a hacker friend like Kim." Billy's thankful with Lissa gone and Chaos unreachable that their friend Kim stepped in to fill the void. "To watch a single fight it's a grand, all access, more fights, and the ability to watch old fights all come at a cost. It would appear they are using the collars we found on fake Lissa and Barney to manipulate what the players look like so no one can figure out their original identities. Though it appears, Lissa, the man we are assuming is Barney and the unidentified friendly they are with found a way around it long enough for us to get a facial recog match."

"Why aren't the suits all over this?" Toll asks, "It's bound to have been on their radar since it's moving that much cash."

"I talked with Church." Maggie explains, "They've only heard chatter and nothing concrete until now. He's assembling a small trusted team to start digging but we're better off on our own."

"We've watched enough to the footage to know the deaths in Battle Grounds are very real. The landscapes get harder and smaller each fight. Numbers are decreasing and it's getting down to just the strongest fighters remaining. There's a fight about every two days and they are picking up pace now. It's clear their tired, run down and possibly in need of medical attention. We need to get to them before it's too late." Billy tells the group, though it's clear he doesn't need to, their all thinking worst case scenarios.

Gunnar gets up from his chair and gives the projection screen one last look. "So what do you need us to do?"

"Every contact you have talk to them, every favor you're owed, cash it in." Billy tells them, "We stopped the North Koreans, we need to stop this."

Everyone expect for Toll, Maggie and Billy leave the barn discussing places to go, supplies needed and people to see.

"You didn't mention what we're going to do about our little friend." Toll says.

"I'm going to handle it." Billy tells Toll and grabs a small black bag from on top a nearby table. "I'm going to do it now."

Fifteen minutes later Billy comes out of the basement they are holding fake Barney in. There's anger written all over his face as he comes up the stairs, slamming the door shut. He throws the bag against a kitchen cabinet, letting out a yell of frustration. When that's not enough he started kicking at the nearest wall.

"Billy." Maggie says trying to break the rage, "The man down there is desperate, and he'll say anything. Whatever he told you, it might not be true." Concern laces her tone, she's worried Fake Barney told Billy that Lissa is as good as dead.

"He didn't say anything." Billy says and rests his forehead against the wall, stopping kicking. "I couldn't do it. I had the pliers in my hands and every good damn reason to use them and I couldn't. Her life is on the line. Barney's life is on the line and I couldn't do it. I couldn't bring myself to do it and I hate myself for it."

Before Maggie can offer a comforting word or some piece of advice, Toll comes out from the other room. "You're not that kind of person Billy and it's not something you should hate yourself for. It's something you should be proud of." He crosses the room grabbing the black bag Billy threw moments ago.

"I tried everything I could to get him to talk." Maggie tells Toll and Billy, "He wouldn't budge. Either he knows something or he's too scared to talk."

"Sometimes love you need more than a woman's touch." Toll tells her and pulls a few different items from the tool chest, "I've seen Barney do this enough to do know what to do. I'll get him talking." He then heads for the basement door.

Billy reaches a hand out blocking Toll's way, "Toll I can't ask you to do this." Billy says and then lets out a loud sigh. He rubs the back of his neck, the stress is clear on his face, "I can't ask you to do something I wouldn't do….couldn't do…. I want them back, but…"

"I didn't hear you ask me, I volunteered." Toll tells him, "You're a good man Billy, sometimes you have to be a bad one to get things done. I'm willing to pay that price." He then heads down into the basement without another word.

"He's right you know." Maggie says looking to Billy whose face as gone unreadable. She knows it must be ripping Billy apart inside to know he couldn't do what was needed of him. But if she's learned one thing from Billy and Lissa it's that they are different that the others, including Maggie herself. They have a line they won't cross, a moral compass that won't fail. The two of them are the very best of The Expendables, but this line of work calls to the worst.
