Chapter 14

Abby lay on the mattress tears trickling down her cheeks, they had beat her and had gotten a photo for proof of life, she had hated being photographed in the state she was in, knowing that it would hurt Connor, Burton had smiled as he had taken it, a mean leering smile of power and triumph. She hated being in this situation, weak and unable to defend herself, she would usually risk all to get out of a situation like this but now she wanted nothing more than to protect her child from harm, one of the few parts of Connor she had left to remember him by in this little hell, their child and his ring, his precious ring that he had given her to protect whilst he was away, she gripped it tightly slightly comforted by the cold hard feel of it clenched in her fist.

She was struggling to stay calm now, to not panic, but it was hard, she had no idea if it was night or day, where she was or what Burton would be forcing Connor to do in order for her safe return, she didn't know, but she had a feeling it wouldn't end well, knowing Burton it was something very dangerous. Her head still hurt, it was a constant pounding in her skull that made her feel sick. He wrists were still bound in front of her, and they hurt, she could barely feel her hands and they were sore from the ropes rubbing against her wrists. She was also hungry, so so hungry and very thirsty, she knew that she needed food and water so that she could stay strong so her body could support her baby and her baby needed food to grow.

She heard the sound of approaching feet and awkwardly sat up not willing to show her pain to whoever it was, she turned her body so that her baby was protected as best she could and waited, the door was unlocked and Burton entered, he smiled at her as he entered and then he closed the door behind him, Abby eyed it uncertainly, she had been hoping that maybe she would be able to barrel past Burton next time he came in, but she was too weak to run, to exhausted to try anything. Burton watched her for a minute before moving forward "how are you doing Abby" he asked, Abby glared at him not speaking, he smirked at her, "come now Abby, the silent treatment is going to get you nothing, speak what is on your mind I can tell there is a lot" Abby continued to glare at him, then she spat out "what are you making Connor do, why would he not want to do it, why is it so important to you that you would take me and keep me like this" he looked at her before pulling out a knife and bending towards her, Abby gasped in fright pulling away but once again he pulled her back and held the knife above her bound wrists "don't try to run Abby" he said "you will be brought down and hurt if you try, there are two men stationed outside of this room day and night, and I have the whole place surrounded too, you wouldn't make it far at all" Abby stared at him and then looked down as he drew the knife across the ropes cutting them, freeing her wrists.

Instantly she pulled away from him, wincing in pain as she rubbed her wrists trying to get the blood in them moving again, she looked at them, there were bright angry red marks from the ropes and they still hurt bad, she looked at him "better" he asked, Abby felt her stomach rumble, he obviously heard it because he smirked again "maybe if Connor has made progress with what I have asked him to do I shall see if I can get you something yeah" Abby gulped, she was hungry, she didn't want Connor to do something he would regret afterwards over her, but now she knew she needed food and water, so in a way she desperately hoped he had made progress.

Phillip smiled "shall we see if he has" he asked and picked up a small laptop that Abby hadn't noticed before, Abby watched as he opened it and then pressed a few buttons before smiling and he turned the laptop round to show Abby what was on the screen.

It was from the security camera's on Connor's lab and Abby could see that it was live, it showed Connor bending over some plans on his desk staring at them in concentration, then he straightened up and ran his hand through his hair visibly sighing, Abby stared at him, joy filling her first at the sight of him, to see that he was ok, but then as she looked closer she was shocked and then horrified at the sight of him. He looked exhausted and tired, he looked years older as if what felt like years to her stuck in this cell had actually passed, he was unshaven and looked like he hadn't washed in a while either. He had a vacant dazed look on his face, as though he was permanently stunned by what he was doing, but there was also fear and determination in his eyes. As she watched the door to the lab opened and Matt and Becker came in carrying some parts which they set on the table, they looked just as tired as Connor, and they seemed quite pissed for some reason. Abby gazed at them all, happy to know that they were ok, but now there was another aching feeling in her chest and it wasn't because she was hungry, it was because she missed her family and wanted to go home to them so bad.

She looked up at Burton and he smiled "well I suppose he is trying very hard and I do need you alive so I will have someone bring you something to eat my lovely, I will be back tomorrow, if Connor has made some progress so maybe we can arrange for him to see you and your little one so he knows that you are ok" he closed the laptop and Abby felt fresh pain as he closed the only link she had to her original life and took it away again "oh I would get some sleep if I were you Abby" he said with a wicked grin "you look like hell" she glared at him "what is that he is building" she asked angry he turned back to her " a friend of mine that I think you might know, Helen Cutter, she told me that this machine will save the world, create free energy for everyone, but there is a risk, a risk that it might do the complete opposite and destroy everything, of course when I saw that in the plans I knew Connor would never risk it, especially with you being pregnant, he wouldn't destroy his child's world, so I realised he might need persuading" Abby stared at him and then hauled herself her feet with difficulty, she lurched towards him, but two guards appeared and grabbed hold of her arms yanking her back "no" she shouted "it is going to destroy the earth, you don't understand, Helen Cutter doesn't want to save humanity, she wants to destroy it so that other animals can live without interference, you build that machine and you will be destroying all life" he smirked "come now Abby, I have looked at the plans, there is only a risk" "oh you don't know Helen like I did" Abby said struggling " she will have designed it so you wont know until it is too late believe me" he shook his head "I don't believe you Abby, I am sorry" he looked at his watch "well I am a very busy man so I am afraid I have to go, see you later Abby"

And with that he left, the guards threw Abby back onto the mattress and left locking it behind them, Abby wept her tears trickling down her cheeks thick and fast, she felt so guilty, Connor was building a machine meant to kill humanity to save her and their baby, everyone was going to die because of her, she didn't want that, Connor would die, everyone she cared about would die, because of her, she let out a sob 'oh Connor' she thought 'don't do it, I am not worth it' she thought of the image she had seem of him working hard for her, he was working so hard that he was going to die of exhaustion, she hoped that Matt and Becker would help him stay strong, especially if something did happen to her, she hoped that he would move on and find someone else to love the way he had her, to father their children and to love then and spoil them the way she imagined him spoiling their baby, she loved him so much and all she wanted was for him to be happy now.

She heard the door being opened and looked up and a stone faced guard entered and placed a cup and a plate of food down on the floor before retreating and locking the door again, Abby hauled herself weakly over to them and tugged them back to her corner of the room, it was a small cup of water which she set to one side to save for later and a plate with a lump of cheese and a slice of bread on, she ate them hungrily unable to save any because of how hungry she was. Once she was done she sighed and took a sip of water feeling it soothe her parched throat, then with another sigh she placed one hand on her stomach and then lay her head down, exhausted but feeling slightly better now she had some food inside of her she closed her eyes and it wasn't long before she drifted off into a light sleep cradling her unborn child.

XOXOXO

Connor was exhausted, he hadn't stopped working since he had gotten the instructions, he had to keep working, he wouldn't stop until he had Abby safe and alive in his arms. He frowned at the plans and then sighed running his hands through his long shaggy hair, he looked up as Matt and Becker came in with the stuff he had asked them to collect and they laid it on the table and he gratefully moved towards it, he was just reaching for a part when he was stopped by Matt, he looked at him furiously "that is enough Connor" he said "you have done enough for tonight, it is time to go home and sleep" Connor shook his head angrily "no I am not going home till Abby is with me and we can go home, because without her it isn't home, it is just a house, I am staying here" Matt looked at him long and hard before shrugging out of his jacket and hanging it up, Becker followed in suit "we will stay too" Matt said "we will get Abby back as the team we have always been" Connor looked at them gratefully "I cant thank you enough guys for all you have done for me and Abby since we returned from the Cretaceous, especially since we found out about Abby being pregnant and all" they both smiled at him "and now" Connor said gesturing to the machine he was trying to build "helping with this, I don't think I would be able to manage without your help" Becker grinned "well now we are trying to help you by getting you to go have a couple of hours sleep in the break room, Abby will skin us alive when she gets back if you look like you do now" he tried to protest but Becker interrupted "come on, you are not going to be able to build it properly if you are like you are now are you now"

Connor was about to protest again when he realised that he was right so he grudgingly allowed then to lead him towards the break room, where he collapsed onto the sofa where he was out like a light. He woke up feeling much more refreshed and in a better mood which Becker and Matt were pleased to see "come on" Matt said "lets get some breakfast before we start" Connor hesitated but was grabbed and dragged towards the door

As they moved towards the exit they passed through the Hub where Jess was sitting at her computers, she gave Connor a small smile before leaping up to give him a hug, surprised Connor stepped back before gingerly accepting the hug from the young boisterous field control officer "oh are you ok Connor" she gasped "um yeah apart from I am running out of oxygen Jess" she quickly released him and smiled sheepishly at him "don't worry we will get her back, I know it" he smiled slightly at her optimism "yeah I know" he said.

At that moment Jess' phone rang and she answered it in her usual professional tone, she listened for a few moments before her face went white and she trembled "Jess" Becker said concerned moving towards the young agent "what's wrong" she didn't answer, she just held the phone out towards Connor, who frowned and hesitantly took it "hello" he said. At first there was nothing just silence. Then a small sob and a small voice almost whispered "Connor"?

Connor gasped clutching the phone, it took him a moment to pull himself back into control when he could cry out "Abby"?

Haha I know awful place to stop, but I liked to end it there with a lovely cliff hanger
