It was hot….so damn hot. Jane glares up at the sun, shutting his eyes quickly. He was exhausted and was wondering if he would be able to stand up again. He and the other workers were picking bean, his skin was getting very sunburned. He looks over at the truck where Keller is standing, have some water out of an ice cold jug of water, he sees Jane watching and smiles as he pours out the water from the glass he was holding. Jane turns back to the beans, swearing he will never ever eat green beans again. Even as hungry as he was now, he wouldn't eat a green bean. He knew that he had lost a lot of weight, but as least Mrs. Keller was sneaking a little food into him cage whenever she could. He heard the truck leave with Keller driving. The other workers looked at Jane, shaking their head; there was nothing they could do to help him. Jane looked over at a large tree, and the wonderful looking shade under it. All he wanted to do is lie down just for a while and feel some coolness. With a lot of effort he manages to stand up and head for the tree. Jose yells at him to not leave, he just shakes his head no and walks towards the tree. Why should they worry, Heller had the ankle chains on he could barely take a step, and the chains lead up to his waist and connect to his wrist. He stumbles over to the tree and sits down; he takes off his shoes and takes a deep breath as he lies back on the cool grass. He closes his eyes and dreams about the one person that brings a smile to his lips, his beautiful Lisbon. There was sadness also, she was probably already to Pike, but then he had told her that all he wanted her to do is be happy.

Cho and Lisbon come into the bull pen, she goes over and sits down on Jane's couch, her hand touches it and a tear comes down her face. Cho comes over to her, pulling a chair with him.

"You okay Boss?"

"Do you think he's alive?" looking up at Cho.

"I don't think so, Jane is going to show up and when we say how did he get away…he's going to say piece of cake."

She gives Cho a small smile. "I wish he would do it soon."

They are both quiet for a while; Cho stands up looks at her. "Come on Boss; let me take you to dinner. You've been skipping way to many meals….and I'm not going to take a no."

She gets up and smiles and follows Cho out of the room.

Jane takes a deep breath, he has time. Keller is always gone for an hour for his lunch; he can take a little nap and be right back to work. One of the workers runs over to him and starts yelling at him. Jane just waves him off. The workers looks very worried as he leaves Jane alone. He was swimming in a pool which was near a beach, the waves coming in slowly. How weird to swim in a pool when there was a huge pool a short walk away. He doesn't hear the truck drive up and Keller getting out of the truck, his face is a study in madness as he walks toward a sleeping Jane.

Jane opens his eyes when he feels some pain in his side, from Keller kicking him. He tries to move away but can't do it with the chains on. He hears the sound of Keller's belt whisper in the wind as it comes down on him, over and over again. Soon Jane is lying curled up, adrift in another place.

From off in a distance he hears someone calling his name. He doesn't want to open his eyes, knowing that the pain would start up again. He felt like something inside him was hurt, and if he just stayed still he wouldn't have to worry about it.

"Mr. Jane, please you have to help me….George is passed out and when he wakes he will be out here for you, and this time he might kill you. You've got to get up." She pushes on him a bit. John you're going to have to help me with him we don't have much time."

A man comes over and together they get Jane up, and half drag him out of the barn. They walk over to a small dust cropper and get Jane into the passenger seat.

"Ellen you've got to come with me, you don't know what George is going to do when he wakes up." The man says.

"I'll be alright, please get Mr. Jane to Austin. Make sure that nobody sees you with him." She reaches up and touches the man on the face and runs off to the house. The man gets inside the plane and a short time later the plane is in the sky.

Jane opens his eyes, the pain was so bad, and he wasn't sure how long he could last. He looks around and doesn't see the farm, in fact he sees a bus station and people walking going about their business. Where was he? He gets up slowly holding his stomach, and starts walking away from the bus station. "Just one step at a step…just one tiny step" he repeats to himself as he walks slowly down the sidewalk.
