Sorry it has been so long since I updated but I survived all my finals and finished moving so I will update hopefully for often. Thank You to everyone who has reviewed. I love the support and to see that you enjoy my story. Please keep it up.

Robert awoke first. He looked around the dark room; only a dim bulb hanging over him gave light. He could scarcely make out the form of an unconscious Lucas strapped to a chair across the room from him. He tried to run to him, only to finally realize that he too was strapped down.

"Lucas, wake up, Lucas, LUCAS," he called, getting louder each time, trying to rouse the boy. Lucas's eyes fluttered open, and he looked up.

"Where are we?" he asked, trying not to show the fear that was building up inside of him.

"I don't know, but they left Ben. He'll go tell dad. I know they are planning something. If they wanted us dead, they would have killed us at the accident. This is definitely something much bigger."

"Dad? I think they are after dad. Otherwise, why not take Ben and leave one of us?"

"Yes, or seaQuest, but, then again, they seem to go hand in hand," Robert said as he broke free of his bindings.

"How did you get free so fast?"

"Lucas, you don't work for Section Seven without learning a few things. Hold still, and I will untie you too. Lucas, you need to trust me if we are going to get out of this, okay?" Robert looked right at Lucas, sensing his hesitation, but was pleased to see the boy nod. Robert then untied Lucas when the door swung open, and the man from the wreck walked in, slowly clapping his hands.

"Bravo! You were always my best student. You must have set a new record, but it is time to get down to business. By now, your dear old Daddy is worried sick about his little boys." Robert moved in front of Lucas. "You have to know you can't protect him. We are going to have some fun, and I know you will both behave and do as I tell you, am I right?"

"Like hell," Lucas said. Then, four men walked into the room; two grabbed Lucas while the others grabbed Robert. Robert was punched in the gut and doubled over.

"I would watch that mouth, young man; it will get your brother into a lot of trouble. You see, I know you will behave because if you don't, it will be the other that is punished. Now, pretty boy, I want you to do a little recon for me," the man said, looking at Lucas. "Let's make sure that dear old dad is truly coming. Hack into seaQuest and give me her location."

"How do you expect me to hack into seaQuest? She's only the most protected ship in the fleet, and I'm only fifteen," Lucas said, and suddenly, Robert was punched again.

" I know you what you are capable of. You are the best hacker in the world. The World Bank couldn't even stop you, so do it-or your brother dies."

"Lucas, no, its okay," Robert said. The guard who held Lucas struck Lucas across the face.

"Renegade, you might want to remain silent before we ruin your brother's pretty face," Turning to Lucas, the man yelled, "Do it now!"

Time seemed to crawl by as Lucas worked on the computer. "I'm in," Lucas suddenly yelled.

"Good. Where is she?" the man said, looking at the screen. He pushed a few keys and suddenly alarms went off. "What did you do?'

"Nothing."

"You pushed the wrong keys. SeaQuest is going to know she's been hacked."

"You're sure?"

"I know everything about the system; yes, they will know. My guess is O'Neill is getting the alert, and the captain knows." Lucas smiled inwardly; while on the computer, he had given seaQuest the layout of their location and other useful Intel for their rescue. At least they would not be going in blind.

Meanwhile on seaQuest…..

"Commander, I am getting weird readings here," O'Neill stated.

"What kinds of readings?"

"It's a location and building plans. They keep flashing on the screen."

"Where is the location?" Ford said.

" 527 Baker St. Sydney, Australia"

"Trace it to see where it came from."

"Commander, my computer is telling me Lucas sent the message."

"What?" Ford said running over to see the message himself.

"It has Lucas's personal ID number attached to it."

"How long till we can get there?"

"Four hours; that includes time to get security to the building."

"Set a course; Ortiz and O'Neill, get me the captain. Now."

Robert and Lucas were taken back to the room they had awoken in.

"Who was that bozo?" Lucas asked once everyone left.

""Michael L. Donavan. He may not legally be the head of Section Seven, but he pulls all the strings," Robert explained. "He was the one who trained me after my accident. Bastard. Hey, why don't you try to sleep for a while? There's no telling when we will get another chance to do so," Robert said, motioning to the only cot in the room. Lucas seemed to ignore the suggestion. "Go on, I won't let anyone hurt you. Trust me, okay?"

Lucas laid on the cot, trying to find a good position. Ten minutes later, he was asleep. Robert began walking around the room. He noticed a blanket across the room and spread it over Lucas. Robert than continued pacing; he needed to find a way out of this place. He could not let his father walk into a trap. He would not let Lucas lose another father. He could not lose his father. Hours rolled by, and Robert stood watching Lucas sleep when suddenly Lucas shifted, letting out a moan.

Rushing over, Robert asked, "Lucas, what's wrong?"

"Nothing," Lucas replied, sounding irritated.

"We are going to trust each other, remember?" he replied sternly.

"It's nothing; my leg is just bothering me again," Lucas said as he began rubbing his knee.

Robert remembered his dad saying that, because of him shooting Lucas, he had arthritis in his leg that would flare up in cold weather or damp conditions. And this room was definitely damp. "Let me see," Robert looked at Lucas's leg; it was a little swollen and looked sore. He had Lucas lay back and relax as he massaged Lucas's leg, but not until after a long series of protests.

"I am not a baby, you know."

"No, but you are my baby brother, and Dad would kill me if I did not take care of you." Suddenly the door open and Donavan walked in.

"What a touching brother moment, but it's time for another challenge. This one is timed, though I think that Renegade, here will do better than the crippled genius. Your job is to keep yourselves alive till your father shows. See if you can do that, but I doubt it."

Suddenly, men surrounded them and they were moved to a different room once again. The room was no bigger than eight feet by eight feet. Over the intercom came a voice. "In a few moments this room will slowly fill with water; the question becomes: will you live long enough for seaQuest to stage a rescue?"

Instantly, water started flowing into the room. Robert figured they would have about two hours until the room completely filled, judging by how fast the water was flowing. The room was very tall with approximately twenty-four foot walls. They would have to swim most of the time. The cold water was already making them shiver; hypothermia was a definite option at this point. Robert knew they both needed to stay awake and swimming.

"Lucas, talk to me about anything; we need to stay alert."

"Believe it or not, this is not the first time this happened to me."

"You've been in a room filled with water before? When?"

"I had to attend a meeting of some dignitaries and talk about my vocorder. Secretary Dre and another man worked to get the dignitaries into signing new treaties. When they refused, they were going to drown us so it looked like an accident," Lucas explained as his teeth began to chatter.

"How did you get out of that one?"

"Dad saved us."
"I'm not surprised; I will never be ashamed to admit Dad is always there when we need him."

An hour passed too quickly, and the water was over their heads. The room was half full. Robert could see they were both freezing, and Lucas was grimacing in pain.

"Your leg hurts, doesn't it, Lucas?" He nodded.

"Dad will be here soon; we just have to hold on, okay?" Lucas gave another nod.

Meanwhile back on seaQuest…..

"We are approaching Australia now; you will be able to launch in ten minutes," Ortiz said, calling down to launch bay where Nathan and a security team were waiting.

Turning to the security, he said, "Ready the launch now," He was not about to let any harm come to either of his sons.

The security team was made up of Crocker, Shan, and a few others. Then Ben, Nathan, and Kristin were going to ensure the well being of Robert and Lucas. They launched ten minutes later and arrived at the address one hour later.

"No one is here, Cap," Crocker said.
"I want to make sure; search every room," Bridger stated.

"Captain," Ben said, "Do you here running water?"

Suddenly Nathan's mind jumped to the events with Secretary Dre. "Follow that sound; we have to find them."

"I cannot swim much longer,…. my leg is giving out. Dammit,… why do I have to be so weak?" Lucas said, barely above a whisper through chattering teeth.
"Your not weak; this is all my fault. I am so sorry for everything I have done to you. We are going to get through this. Nothing will happen to you I will keep us both above the water, if I have to."

Then faintly from the other side of the door came. "Robert, Lucas, can you hear me? LUCAS."

"DAD….. we're in here, Dad ….you have to hurry. The room is nearly filled with water, and it is freezing," Robert yelled over the rushing water and the chattering of his own teeth. .

"Hold on; we are going to shut off the water flow, okay?"

"Okay," Robert answered. Then, turning to Lucas, he said, "See, we are going to be okay...just a little longer. Come on, Lucas, stay awake. I know it's cold, but just hold on," Robert said. At this point, Robert was helping Lucas stay afloat as the boy could no longer swim and was hypothermic. Another five minutes passed before the water shut off.

Nathan was standing outside the door of the room with his sons inside. The water had been shut off, but how could they get them out? Opening the door would bring all the water crashing out, possibly injuring his sons. But, they could die if they stayed in the water too much longer.

"Robert," he yelled, "we are going to open the door. If you have anything you can grab hold of, do it."

"Lucas, I need you to hold onto to me. I know it is very cold, but in a couple minutes you will be safe," Lucas just nodded, barely conscious from the cold.

"The door slammed open as water plummeted out. The cold finally got to Robert as his hands lost grip on the bar he was holding, and he and Lucas were sucked out the door.

"Lucas, Robert," Nathan gasped, running to his sons, who lay unconscious across the floor. "Get Kristin. Now!"
