Okay, here is the next chapter, thanks to everyone who reviewed the last one. Now its confession time, I just realised that Jesse doesn't have any clothes on; he was in a towel when he answered the door to Bryan, but he didn't put any one before he left! That was my error, so could you just overlook that and imagine that he got clothes on when he got out of the shower. There's a bit more action in this chapter, hope you all enjoy it, would love to hear if you do. Thanks, Megan.

Jesse pulled up outside of the Sloan's house, he hadn't planned on actually going into the house, but he had no change on him, and he needed to use a phone to ring Chris. He had driven around for ages trying to decide what to do. Taking a deep breath he undid his seat belt and stepped out of his car, he locked it, and then headed for the front door. He rang the bell then looked around, Steve's car was there, along with one he didn't recognise, the door opened and Jesse turned back around and saw Amanda standing in the doorway. She smiled, looking genuinely happy to see him, something which Jesse didn't understand.

"Jesse, hi, come on in, we're just eating."

"Oh, right, I wouldn't want to disturb you, I'll just go." Jesse turned to leave but Amanda put her hand on his arm to stop him.

"Nonsense, come on in, Mark and Steve would love to see you, besides there's too much food for three of us." She smiled reassuringly, aware that Jesse had self esteem problems.

"Well, if there's food involved, then I'm your man." Jesse followed Amanda inside; they went into the kitchen where the table was heaving with food. Mark looked up and smiled, gesturing for Jesse to take an empty seat next to him and Steve.

"Jesse, what a nice surprise, nothings wrong is it?"

"No, I was in the area, and I thought I'd drop by, see if there was any news on Rick." Steve looked confused, and was about to speak but Mark got there first.

"Rick's going to be fine, in fact the doctor who worked on him, Bryan Conwell, said to me that if you hadn't of been there to help him, it might have been a different story, so well done." Jesse's heart skipped a beat at the mention of Bryan's name, but Mark carried on speaking, this time to Steve, "A friend of Jesse's was brought into emergency today, Jesse helped save his life. Jesse looked down, blushing. A plate was put in front of him and he began piling food onto it. He was starving, and he was aware that this might be the last proper meal he would have in a long time. The group ate in silence for a few minutes, but the silence was broken when the phone began to ring. Steve went into the passage to answer it, but returned a few minutes later puzzled.

"Must have been a wrong number," he looked at Jesse, who was finishing off the last of his food, "They asked if the Biker was here, must have been a nickname or something." Jesse froze, the fork that had been on the way to his mouth clattered onto the plate and he looked up at Steve wide eyed.

"Did you say the Biker?" Steve nodded and Jesse jumped up and ran to the window, he couldn't see anyone, but he knew that Bryan was out there. "Mark, I have to go, I'm sorry." He turned towards the doorway but stopped when he saw the figure standing in it, Mark, Steve and Amanda followed his gaze. It was Mark who spoke first.

"Dr. Conwell, what are you doing here?"

"Hi Mark, I wanted a word with Travis. But it seems that he doesn't want to talk to me so…" a gun was pulled out and Jesse gave a little squeak, "It looks like I'm just going to have to make him."

Steve felt for his gun and cursed when he realised he wasn't wearing it, Bryan smirked.

"Don't you recognise your own gun Sloan?" Steve inhaled sharply as he suddenly recognised the gun that Bryan was holding. Amanda glanced at Mark who shrugged and looked at Jesse. The intern was stood frozen on the spot, he had gone very pale and was shaking, and he seemed to be trying to say something but no sound was coming out. Five men appeared behind Bryan, all carrying guns and the look of terror on Jesse's face grew worse, he began to shake his head in disbelief.

"Isn't this nice, all the gang together again." Bryan spoke in a sweet tone, but the threat in his voice was unmistakable. The men came into the room and three of them went and stood behind Mark, Steve and Amanda. "Come here Travis." The command was spoken softly but the three words still managed to make Jesse tremble even more. He stayed rooted to the spot, unable to move even if he had wanted to.

"I said come here." Bryan took a step towards the young intern, causing him to back away in panic, "Travis, don't disobey me, come here." Bryan didn't even raise his voice, the tone was enough to make Jesse start to move, except that he was moving in a different direction to the one Bryan had ordered. He ran towards the back door, but his way was blocked by two of the men, they had grown up a lot since Jesse had last seen them, but he still recognised his childhood tormentors, forgetting who was behind him he began to back up, straight into Bryan.

Steve watched as Jesse was grabbed by the hair and flung to the floor; the intern winced, and then lay there cowering on the floor. Bryan Conwell began to go towards him again when Steve spoke up.

"Leave him alone Conwell." Steve had used his most impressive cop voice, the one he used in the interview room to scare people into talking, the one he used when talking to murderers and crime bosses.

"Or what? You'll arrest me? In case you hadn't noticed Sloan, you're outnumbered and you're unarmed, so how about I make the decisions and you keep quiet." Steve glared at him but Bryan took no notice, his attention was already back on his main target.

"Stand up Travis," this time Jesse did as he was told, "You were very rude to me earlier on Jesse, and you disobeyed me. Say sorry." The intern looked down at the floor shaking his head.

"N no, I I wont, y you can't t te tell me what to do any, anymore." Jesse looked back up, and he somehow found the courage to look into Bryan's eyes. Conwell shook his head and looked at Jesse for a few minutes, causing the intern to look down at the floor once more. Suddenly Jesse felt a fist make contact with his stomach, Amanda shouted out; Steve made to stand up but was stopped by a forceful hand on his shoulder. Jesse began to fall forwards, but was stopped from doing so; he was dragged over to the sink where he watched terrified as Bryan filled it up. Understanding what was about to happen to him Jesse struggled to get away but a hand pushed his head forward and he was forced into the water once more.

Watching in horror from his chair Steve realised that this was probably what had happened to Jesse earlier that same day in the toilets at the hospital, and as the intern was dragged up out of the water gasping for breath he began to wonder just how much longer Jesse could hold on.
