A/N – Thanks for all of you comments! LiasonLuv - You got it! Kikimoo – lol sorry just the way it works out sometimes. Just a few more chapters and this over. I have two more I'm deciding between one's a period piece and the other is a challenge from ABCSOAPFAN1963. I will probably post the period piece first just because I'm almost done with it. Both will be short.

Chapter 25 – Exposed

"So, you are even more intriguing than I gave you credit for." Jerry said as Liz watched his smile slowly dissolve.

The man he had been talking to earlier walked into the room.

Liz looked back and forth between the two. "What's wrong?"

"Vladmir here tells me that he interrogated you in Italy regarding your association with Damian Spinelli. He said you had a red wig on at the time but he clearly remembers your face."

Liz felt her stomach drop. "There must be some kind of mistake."

"I'm not stupid Cara, if that is even your name."

Liz didn't say anything.

"Cat got your tongue?" Jerry asked. He looked over at Vladmir. "Take care of her. And this time, torture her if you have too. We need to find out which agency she is working for."

Brenda grimaced as she listened. She picked up her phone. "Max, I need you."

Max turned on the car. "Be right there."

She slipped out of the car and grabbed her backpack. Leaving the keys on the seat, she watched as Max pulled the car up and she hopped inside. She saw a man pushing Liz along the side of the house. It looked like her wrists were bound. He pushed her into a car.

"Follow them at a safe distance." Brenda instructed Max.

Jason ran out of the party and jumped into the SUV and started it. He plugged a tracking device GPS module into the cigarette lighter and started to take off.

Once Liz had gotten into the car, Jason didn't hear any talking.

"Brenda, talk to me." Jason said into his phone.

"We're following them. I will stand back until you get here." She said softly. "They are sending more agents in to help but it's going to take a while."

Jason hit the steering wheel with his hand. He hadn't anticipated that the Russians would actually show up at the party.

"Jason, take a deep breath. We'll get her back." Brenda said knowing he was freaking out.

Jason hung up.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi

Parking the car behind Brenda, Jason got out.

"They walked her into the first building." Brenda said handing him some binoculars.

Jason scanned the area. There weren't a lot of cars but there was no way of telling how many men they would have to fight.

"Do you think Spinelli is in there too?" Jason asked.

"There's a good chance. They are trying to pull up some satellite feeds of the area as we speak."

Jason nodded. "I think we can climb down the hill and access it that way. Who's a better shot? Milo or Max."

Brenda smiled. "Milo. Why?"

"Because I was thinking we'd take him with us and then leave Max here in case we need him to drive down and get us."

Brenda nodded.

"How did she look?" He asked softly.

"Really annoyed."

Jason smirked. "They won't go easy on her this time."

That was what was scaring Jason the most.

"Then I guess we better get in there." Brenda said firmly. She knocked on Milo's window. "Come on Milo. You're coming with us."

"Cool." Milo said hopping out.

They made their way down the hill and fanned out.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi

Liz was slammed into a chair and tied down.

"I'll be right back to get you." The man said menacingly before walking out.

Spinelli jumped up. "Are you okay luscious one?" He asked trying to see if they had hurt her.

"I'm fine Spinelli. Help should be on the way." She whispered into his ear.

Spinelli nodded.

"How far are you away from finishing?"

"A few days maybe."

"Stall as much as you can." She said before jumping as the man came back inside.

"It's time to get tortured." He said smiling as he grabbed the chair and tipped it back. He dragged her across the floor as Spinelli looked at her helplessly.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi

Liz watched as the man prepared his devices which sat on a table. He plugged in a drill and grinned as he tested it. She hoped that Jason got there in time, but if he didn't, she was prepared to take it.

"So, let's find out who you really are…shall we?" The man said putting on a mask and some gloves.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi

Jason knocked out a guard and they all slipped inside.

"Which way?" Brenda asked.

Jason looked down at his phone and his GPS. "That way." He said running down a hallway.

He peered around a corner and snapped back. "Two guards, one on either side of the wall."

An alarm started blaring.

"Shit." Brenda muttered.

Jason looked at Brenda. "Go."

They both jumped out and shot the two guards.

"Left." Jason yelled.

They ran down another hallway. Three guards came around the corner and they fired on them.

Jason looked down at Brenda and saw her sleeve looked ripped. "Are you shot?"

She looked down at her arm. "No, it didn't break the skin."

The electricity went out.

"Stay along the wall." Jason growled.

Jerry was not going to make this rescue easy.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi

A guard came into Spinelli's room. "Grab the laptop and let's go." He yelled.

Spinelli shoved it into a backpack and the man pushed him towards the door. They quickly made it outside and he shoved him into a car and took off.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi

"Good thing I have a flashlight." The man said smiling at Liz. "Let's change this up. You look a little thirsty."

He dragged her over to a sink which was filled with water and plunged her head inside. He brought it back up just as Liz was running out of air and then pushed it back down again. Bringing her back up again as she gasped for air he said, "I can do this all day."

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi

Jason knew they were close. He had grabbed another gun and stood up and walked towards the room firing both of them as several guards scattered. Brenda followed him and took out anyone he missed as Milo brought up the rear and covered them.

They stopped in front of a door. Jason kicked it open and they ran inside. The man torturing Liz looked up just in time to get a bullet in the head. Unfortunately, he fell forward onto Liz holding her under the water.

She started to pass out.

Jason grabbed the man and pulled her back. He laid the chair down and tried to revive her.

Pumping on her chest she finally spit out water and coughed. Jason let out the breath he was holding as Brenda cut off the ropes and untied her.

"You okay?"

She was gasping for air but finally was able to nod. Jason lifted her up into his arms.

"Follow me." Brenda said as they eased their way back into the hallway.

Milo brought up the rear and Brenda led the way outside.

"I'm sure Spinelli is gone." She said looking over at Jason and Liz.

A black van drove up and some agents hopped out. "You guys okay?"

"Yea, check the building for any signs of Spinelli." Brenda yelled.

Max pulled the car up and they got inside.

Milo took off his suit jacket and handed it to Jason.

"Thanks." He said putting it over Liz who he still cradled in his arms.

He touched her face. "I don't know what I would have done…." He said softly, unable to finish the sentence.

Liz looked up at him. "I'm okay."

He kissed her gently and hugged her tighter.

Brenda looked away. It was hard for her to watch Jason be that way with someone else regardless of the circumstances.
