I hope everyone had a great Holiday. Thanks to everyone that reviewed, read, and subscribed to my story!

She was pulled toward the middle of the room. They stopping before she got too close as if to make sure she was not able to identify the figure yet. The figure has on an olive shirt and camo pants. Maddy tries to suppress her rising fear, she is unable to see the figures face because his head is hanging down, his chin touching chest his shoulders slumped down. Two men stay with Maddy; she is halfway to the center of the room, while Carter walks towards the figure.

"Get up I have a little something for you" he kicks his leg. Maddy is standing about 10 feet away. The men on either side of her are holding her arms. Maddy eyes are now adjusted. The figure lifts his head up.

Maddy gasps. "Mark!" she breaks away from the two men holding her. She runs up to him falling on her knees cupping his cheeks with her hands. He tired eyes meet Maddy's worried ones.

"Maddy" he says he sounds slightly breathless because his ribs hurt every time he breaths.

"Oh my god, Mark are you okay?" Of course not you idiot he is tied down, bleeding, and you ask if he is okay. She gently runs her thumb up and down his cheek.

"I hate to break this up ..." Carter tilts his head slightly "...actually no, I don't" he pulls Maddy away and shoves her into a chair. "Move and I kill your boyfriend" he points to Mark "Then I kill you or I could do it the other way around."

"Don't touch her!" Mark yells.

"Why" He walks up to her "She is so beautiful" he takes the back of his fingers and slides it down her cheek. Maddy leans back trying to get away from his hand. Her eyes never leaving the hand that is sliding down her cheek.

Marks pulls against his restrains "Leave her alone!"

"Then tell us what we need to know." Carter turns to him.

"Don't say anything" Maddy yells. She has no idea what it's about but she figures it's about Terra Nova and if they beat Mark and did not get anything out of him she will not be the reason they do. She is a Shannon and she is stubborn.

"Shut up!" He back hands her and he turns to face Mark and lift a finger towards him. "Answer me!" Maddy wipes the blood from the side of her mouth before talking.

"Mark don't say anyth" she was cut off by a swift hand going to her throat.

"Get your hands off her" Mark is clearly fuming. Maddy's face is contorting, she is struggling for oxygen.

"We need answers and Maddy here needs oxygen" Carter says he is clearly not backing down even if it means killing the girl. He is getting annoyed with the soldier. He lost his patience he wants answers.

"Stop it!" Mark yells out of desperation. He is watching them almost kill Maddy and he can't do anything about it. That hurts him more than all the beating Mira can dish out.

"Ah we finally found your weakness." He lets go of Maddy who doubles over gasping trying to catch her breath. Carter is clearly satisfied. He walks around the chair running his finger across her shoulders. Maddy has tears in her eyes she is trying hard to keep them at bay. She will not show fear. "Well what it?" Maddy has no idea what it is but apparently they do.

"Not until she is safe" Mark answers

"Stubborn huh, I can deal with that. You care about her, yes? Let's see how much." He turns to her and touches her Mark does not move. What he does next makes Mark want to rip him to shreds. "So you don't care if I were to….say… kiss her" he slowly brings his head down. Maddy tries to get away turn her head anything. Mark struggles against the ropes he feels warmth around his wrists and he knows that he rubbed his wrists raw.

"Stop!" he yells.

"Ready to talk?" His mouth was close to Maddy's who is leaning back as far as she can, tears welling up in her eyes, one slips over and runs down her face. She tries not to breath in clearly Carter has not heard of a tooth brush or a mint.

"I will not tell you anything while she is held hostage by you." If looks could kill Mark would have everyone in the room not 6 feet but 8 feet under. "She doesn't know anything. Give me her beating. Just don't touch her."

"Aw how sweet of you; you sound like something out of a story book. Too bad I. Really. Don't. Care." Carter says in a mocking tone. Mira who was watching from the dark corner walks over. She uses her finger to bring Maddy's chin up. Mark is pulling against his restraints but Mira ignores him.

"Can you do something for me?" Maddy does not look at her she stares at the floor. Mira pulls a knife out and puts it to her throat. Maddy does not look up instead she looks at Mark, his face full of defeat and pain.

"Look at me." She pulls her chin up more. She hands the knife to Carter who pulls Marks head back and puts the knife to his throat. Maddy reluctantly look at Mira.

"My, you really made me take it that far? Tsk tsk, You really are a stubborn girl, anyway I need you to talk some common sense into your boyfriend because his stubbornness just might get you both killed." Maddy just nods. She is afraid her voice might falter if she talks.

They untie Mark and toss him into a small cell which is placed at the end of the room. They did not even have to push Maddy in because as soon as they let her go she runs into the cell. She kneels next to Mark and unties his hands before rolling him from his side to his back. She notes his bloody wrists from pulling on his ropes and all the other bruising at least the ones she can see. They close the door to the cell but Maddy does not care she just looks at Mark whose eyes are closed.

"Mark." She waits for him to open his eyes "Mark." Panic starts to fill her, she tries to shake him. "Mark!" She receives no answer from the body in front of her. Tears come freely down her cheeks now. "What did you do to him!" she yells looking Mira right in the eyes. Mira simply drops a syringe and walks out of the room.

*Gasp* Cliffhanger

I decided to portray Mira and Carter more evil then they were in the show because I thought it worked better for the story. Just thought I'd let you know.

In the Finale was I the only one hoping Mira would change sides and go against Lucas?

Please Review it means so much to me!

Happy New Year! See you all next year :P
