R for Revenge
Chapter Fourteen
Crouching low Mike Strong made his way across the grounds to the side of the building, looking up he traced the telephone wire down the wall, expertly flicking his penknife open with his right hand he sliced it cleanly through the wire before moving towards the car park and slashing the tyres on every car, on his way back he noticed a small bike shed hided away in the far corner, entering he found an old bike a few spare wheels he slashed everything that could be put together to make a working bike.
From his dug out John Morgan watched Mike at work but at the same time he kept his eye on the hospital. He had seen plenty of movement inside but as yet no one had made an appearance outside but he could wait, times like these he could be patient, a few more hours was nothing compared to what he had already waited. Everything had to be right for his revenge, he wanted Bodie to beg for his life, grovel at his feet like a dog which he had been made to do at the prison by his guards. As Mike jumped back into dug out beside him John saw Bodie and another man exiting the building. He thought the man with Bodie wasn't a typical looking bodyguard or a CI5 man so he had to be a member of staff or maybe even a doctor. John licked his dry lips with anticipation of the snatch, the man pose no threat, like taking candy from a baby.
"Soon I will have my revenge; I'll show you who's weak and pathetic" He said out aloud to his inner tormenting voice as he watched the man guide Bodie gently but firmly down the path towards the stream.
Mike shot Morgan a worried look; who was he going to show? He knew prison could drive a man crazy but Morgan was tough he was ex-army they didn't train you to become fairy cakes. Mike always thought that no matter how much they tortured Morgan they wouldn't be able to break him but he had noticed the changes in his behaviour and made allowances for what Morgan had been through but now he was worried; he was beginning to have his doubts but he wasn't unhinged as Brenda thought, she said she had heard him arguing and talking to himself in the spare bedroom, maybe it was the fact that he spend too much time on his own with only his own thoughts to keep him company.
Bodie let Dr Jones guide him along "So Doc I'm curious, what does Dr Phillips look like?"
Dr Jones laughed "tall and slim, weasel like facial features with black hair is that what you imagined?"
"No not quite"
The stealth attack came quick, moving silently across the lawn towards Bodie and his companion Mike took the man out while John Morgan grabbed Bodie from behind, he snaked his arm tightly around Bodie's neck squeezing off his air supply.
Taken by surprise Bodie struggled against the arm locked around his throat but the more he struggled the more pressure the arm pressed on his windpipe making it harder for him to breathe, he soon realised that his attacker was combat trained every move he made to dislodge his attacker was expertly countermanded but he was never one to give in so he struggled until the lack of air to his brain made him light headed and his body gave in.
Quickly looking round John Morgan made sure no one had seen them; satisfied he lifted Bodie's limp body over his shoulder and carried him back towards the wooded area closely followed by Mike with the unconscious doctor. Once there he set Bodie down against a tree then proceeded to pulled a shirt from his duffel bag, tearing off a strip to use as a gag while Mike dropped the doctor roughly onto the ground before dragging him by his feet further into the trees where he left him.
"Gag him and tie him up" Morgan handed him the strip of cloth "and then wake him up, it'll be easier if he can walk"
Bodie woke to the taste of cloth and a hard stinging slam across his face, he automatic retreated back against something hard, "he's awake" the nearness of the male voice and the warm breath that swept across his cheek made him jumped
John Morgan watched as Mandy came out of the building and rounded her car to the driver's side turning to Mike, no words passed between them just military hand signals. Mike pulled a gagged and hand bound Bodie to his feet, he led him towards the boundary wall. Bodie struggled along trying to keep from stumbling on the unfamiliar ground.

At CI5 headquarters Alison dialled the number for the Ashgrove Private Hospital but all she received was a continuous out of order tone, she put the receiver down and tried again but all she got was more of the same. Placing the phone down again she look puzzled at it for a moment "That's odd, it was fine earlier"
"What's odd, what was fine earlier?" Jackie looked up from her typewriter for the first time since coming back from the toilets.
Alison saw Jackie's puffy red eyes for the first time "O my god Jackie have you been crying?"
There was no point in trying to deny it so she lied "me and Lenny had a big argument last night"
Alison knew how volatile their relationship had been since Lenny lost his job "What about know?"
"The usual, money but never mind my problems what's wrong?" deflecting the attention away from herself
If Jackie didn't want to talk about it that was fine by Alison "It's the Ashgrove hospital, their phone out of order"
Jackie lowered her head she didn't like lying to Alison; she had always being a good friend to her, comforted her in times of trouble and there had been a few but what would she say if she knew the truth that she was coward, that she had betrayed CI5's trust and soon maybe an accessory to murder "Maybe it's just temporary?"
"No I think it something more serious" Alison mused, she thought about ringing George Cowley's phone but decided it was best tell him personally, she left her office and headed down the hall to see George Cowley leaving his office.
"Alison where's that phone call" he snapped at her
Alison's face reddened at Cowley's sharp tone "I was just coming to tell you sir the line dead"
Cowley stopped in his tracks thinking quickly as he always did "Is Murphy on his way to the hospital to pick Doyle up?"
"Yes Sir, he should be on his way back to Ashgrove by now"
"Good get me him and I want the nearest local police station to Ashgrove and I need that information on John Morgan ASAP" George Cowley turned on his heels and stormed back to his office. He hoped that he was wrong that it was just a coincidence that John Morgan had taken off during the night and now the phone line to the remote hospital was dead but if he was right then the only way John Morgan could have found out where Bodie was staying was through his office, which meant one of his own personal trusted staff had informed Morgan.

Holding his throbbing head Dr Jones walked as fast as his unsteadily legs would allow him towards the house, as he neared he heard Dr Phillips's voice calling him by his alias name turning he saw the doctor coming down the path from the stream "Dr Jackson, thank god I've found you" as Dr Phillips neared he saw the gash on Dr Jones's forehead "What happen?" suddenly he eyes were searching passed him "Where's Mr Brown?"
Ignoring Dr Phillips question "I need to use the phone"
"I'm sorry the phone not working, I was coming to..." Dr Phillips started to tell him that he had been looking for him and Mr Brown
"Shit" Dr Jones interrupted him
"Doctor Jackson there's something..."
"My name's not Dr Jackson its Dr Edward Jones and Mr Brown's real name is Bodie" he saw no point in keeping their identities a secret now
"I don't understand; what going on?" Dr Phillips's tone of voice was a cross between puzzlement and annoyance, he disliked being lied too
"Look I'll explain everything to you but first I need to get to a phone"
Dr Phillips stared at Dr Jones wondering if he should trust this man "How do I know that you'll be telling me the truth?" his right highbrow rose questioningly
Dr Jones didn't have time for this he had to get to a phone and call Cowley "I'm sorry we lied to you but it was important that Bodie's identity remained a secret, look please trust me I need your help"
Dr Phillips studied the other doctor's face and saw sincerity "If you had let me finish before I was trying to tell you that all the car tyres have been slashed, we have no transport to get to the crossroads where the nearest phone is"
"Shit" Dr Jones suddenly swayed feeling dizzy he grabbed hold of Dr Phillips's shoulder for support
"Let's get you inside and I'll check you over" Dr Phillip tried to guide Dr Jones towards the door
Dr Jones shrugged off Dr Phillips's hands "No, no we haven't got time, how long will it take on foot to get to this crossroads you mention?"
"Two maybe three hours if you cut across the fields"
"There got to be another way?"
Mandy looked out of Dr Phillips's office window and saw the two doctors talking she rushed to the door flinging it open she heard the end of their conversation "There's a old bike in the shed"
"What shed?"
"I'll show you" she turned and disappeared back inside leaving Dr Jones to follow her
Dr Jones followed her through the building and out into the car park "It's over here" she pointed to the corner of the car park near the boundary wall
They entered the shed together; Mandy gasped in shock at the mess, the wheels and inner tubing's had all been slashed. Dr Jones rubbed the back of his neck; there was only one thing for it, the three of them would have to save Bodie but how he didn't know.
