"No! No! Leave him alone!" Eames whimpered backing further against the tree, but still reaching out to Bobby who lay shocked on the ground. Declan stood over the large man and planted his foot firmly on his back.
"I will Alexandra. If you would simply come with me." He reasoned holding his hand out to her.
"Alex! Don't you dare!" Goren tried to sound firm, but the foot being pressed into his back winded him. "Run! Get the hell away!"
"You wouldn't want that would you detective? Not when I'm holding a gun." Gage held up Bobby's gun and smirked. "Much better than a pellet to the leg huh Bobby?"

"I think I see a footprint there…" Logan muttered pointing at a small patch of mud. Carolyn sighed as she stood next to him to examine it.
"Aren't we supposed to look for broken twigs, or north facing moss or something?" She teased. Mike glared at her and motioned to Stabler and Benson.
"They're headed this way!" He called pointing East.
BABABA
"Gage! Just stop it here!" Bobby was beginning to get desperate, the heel of Gage's wooden soled shoe dug into his back even more and the sounds of Alex's terrified sobs tore at his heart. "We have no power to stop you now. Just leave us, and run."
Declan laughed and lifted his foot. "Nice try Bobby." He kicked the large man in the side. "Now go sit by Alexandra, you want your last moments together to be good ones don't you?"
Goren scrambled to his feet and crawled over to Alex. Taking her trembling form into his arms, he gently soothed her and whispered reassurances in her ear. "Shh...I'm here baby. Deep breaths, take deep breaths."
Eames did as he said and inhaled deeply. "Are you okay?" She whimpered rubbing his side where he was hit. Bobby nodded and kissed the side of her head.
"As long as you're alright, I'm alright."

"Carolyn, sit down!" Mike sighed when he saw his former partner's face drawn with pain. Barek shook her head and held up her hand.
"I hear voices." She announced. Benson and Stabler's heads shot up as they alerted their hearing.
Sure enough, they could hear tiny sobs, a desperate voice, and Declan's ordering tone. "They're up ahead!" Elliot told them, quickening his pace.
BABABA
"Okay Robert, I need to see her now." Gage sneered reaching out and grabbing Alex's arm, but Goren wouldn't have that. He let out a desperate cry as he held his partner tighter to him. "Don't make this worse for her Bobby, let's not have her last memories being ones of pain."
"No, please! She's scared! Let her stay with me!" Bobby begged as Gage pulled harder, making Alex scream into Bobby's shoulder. "LET HER GO!" The large detective howled wrenching back as hard as he could. Gage's grip loosened enough for Eames to pull it away, and he toppled to the ground.
Bobby jumped up with Alex's legs still wrapped around his waist and her arms around his shoulders. He could tell she was going into shock, by her lack of will to stand on her own. Without hesitation, he took back off into the woods.
Declan stood up and pointed Goren's gun at them. He fired it and smiled when Bobby stumbled trying to duck away from the bullet.
Alex let out a wail as Bobby came crashing down on top of her. But as soon as he realized what had happened, he jumped back up. "I'm so sorry." He whispered reaching down to lift her back into his arms, but the butt of a gun to the back of his head stopped him.
BABABA
The sound of Eames's scream of pain caught all of their attention. Carolyn winced and grabbed Logan's arm.
"We have to get to them…now."
Mike nodded and quickened his pace.

"This will keep you from making anymore escapes." Gage sneered as he bound Bobby's arms and legs together with the duct tape he found in the detectives' car.
"No! NO!" Goren cried as he watched his former mentor make his way over to Alex's motionless form. "Leave her the hell alone!"
Gage gave him a smirk and picked up a giant tree branch. Without giving Bobby a chance to protest, he swung it and hit Eames as hard as he could in the side.
The two detectives let out screams of pain. Alex's was one of actual pain, and Bobby's of emotional torture. Declan smiled and walked to Alex's other side and hit her again.
"Stop it! PLEASE!" Bobby cried trying not to simply shutdown at the sound of his lover's cries. "Oh my god! Just leave her alone!"
Gage laughed as he slipped off his jacket and threw it down next to Alex. "Oh Bobby, I'm just getting started. But don't worry, she'll be in a place without pain soon enough."
BABABA
As Alex's screams grew louder and more pain ridden, the four detectives' paces became speedier and more desperate.
"I'm gunna kill this bastard!" Olivia muttered keeping her eyes pealed.
"We all are. Now hurry up!" Mike growled pushing her gently and beginning to jog.
BABABA
Declan's strikes became more and more powerful as he continued to beat Alex. Bobby struggled as hard as he could against his bindings. But his tears and the blood pouring from his head blinded him.
Suddenly the sounds of the beatings stopped. Bobby looked up to see Gage staring at the battered woman beneath him. "Round one's over." He whispered, "At least until she wakes up."
Bobby bit his lip to keep from yelling obscenities at the man.
"Bobby, I'm so sorry it had to come to this." Gage sighed kneeling down in front of the whimpering man. "I know you love her. But I loved my daughter. It has to be like this."
"Get the hell away from me!" Bobby screamed trying to back away. "She's an innocent woman! You sick BASTARD!"
Gage shook his head adamantly, "No! No! JO was innocent! Your partner was asking for it!"
"How?" Bobby demanded, "Your daughter was sick! She was demented! All because you couldn't get your fucked up brain to focus on anything but DEATH!" Gage growled and lifted the bludgeoning stick above his head.
Before he could strike, two gunshots rang out and Declan fell forward onto Bobby. Goren growled and pushed the man off of him. Looking over, he saw Alex sitting up, grasping Goren's gun in her shaky hands.
Before either one could say anything, Logan and Barek came crashing through the trees.
"Holy hell!" Logan exclaimed as he surveyed the scene before him. "Benson! Stabler! We found them!"
Carolyn rushed over to Alex and knelt down by her, "Hey sweetie! Can I see this?" She whispered pulling the gun from her friend's hands.
"Stay still big guy." Logan muttered pulling out his pocket knife and cutting at the tape on Bobby's arms and legs. Once he was free, Bobby crawled over to Alex and took her face into his hands.
"Are you okay?" He gasped nuzzling her nose, "Are you okay?" Alex tried to nod, but winced at the attempt. "Is there and ambulance?"
Mike nodded and waved to Olivia and Elliot. "Tell them to get a stretcher out here!" He yelled before leaning over to examine Eames. "Holy shit." He muttered when he saw the holes in her shirt, revealing large gashes in her sides. "We're gunna need a lot more than that stretcher."
