A/N: Okay, no more conferences to go to or other distractions on the horizon, so here's another short chapter with more to follow very soon. Looks like there will be more chapters to this story that I thought :-D

Jack had arrived on the scene in time to witness Sue being manhandled across the car park towards a narrow passageway between two buildings. He pulled his gun, released the safety and shouted a warning. "F.B.I. Stop or I will shoot."

Her assailant turned to face him and he quickly assessed him. The guy was built like a Mack truck or, in this case judging by the size of his gut, a Big Mac truck with fries... lots of fries. Unfortunately, he was also around the same height as Sue, who he was using as a shield, making it impossible to get a clear shot.

Jack advanced slowly and winced as Sue yelped when her captor tangled one hand in her long blonde hair, the other dipped briefly into his jacket and pulled out a knife which he held to her throat.

"Stop where you are. Any closer and I cut her!"

The threat sent chills through Jack's body and he froze, raising his hands to show he was complying with the request, his gun pointing heavenward as he removed his finger from the trigger. "Okay, just don't hurt her."

"That's more like it. Now Susie and I are going for a little walk. Don't even think of following or you know what will happen." He took a few steps back but Sue started to struggle and he was forced to stop and tighten his grip.

"Jack!" Whatever she'd been about to say was cut off when she was yanked backwards through the opening and shoved against a cold brick wall, her assailant's face menacingly close.

"Now isn't that ironic?" he sneered. "We both have the same name."

Sue immediately recognised the pungent odour of his breath and knew without a shadow of a doubt that this was the third man... the one who hurt people. In an effort to get away she kicked out and tried to run but he pushed her back against the wall, trapping her there with his weight.

"Try that again and it'll be the last thing you ever do, understand me?"

She nodded; her eyes wide with fear.

"Good. And now to deal with Jackie boy..." He loosened his grip momentarily and bent sideways to pick something up from the ground. "Now, scream."

Sue shook her head vigorously and clamped her jaw tightly shut.

"Don't make me hurt you." He waited for her to obey but when she didn't he got hold of her wrist and twisted it until she thought it was going to break. As hard as she tried she couldn't stifle the scream that escaped her lips.

"Thank you." Using the hold he had he spun her around and slammed her body into the opposite wall, watching as she crumpled to the ground holding her arm, her face wet with tears. Satisfied, he secreted himself in the shadows and waited for his prey like a spider in its web.

The scream turned Jack's blood cold. The part of his brain that was still functioning normally was telling him that he should wait for back-up but this was Sue, his Sue, and she was scared and probably hurt. And, he'd promised he'd never let anything happen to her... All rational thought fled his mind and he ran into the passageway stopping and gasping in shock when the faint light showed her half-lying, half-sitting on the ground. He'd been so focussed on making sure she was alright that he hadn't even heard Bobby shouting for him to wait.

"Sue, are you okay?" He crouched down and she shied away before realising who was touching her. "Sue?" He watched as her expression turned to one of horror.

"Jack! Look out, behind you!"

He tried to stand but something hit him hard across the head and shoulders and everything went black.
