Chapter 1 - JJ's POV
I watched bitterly as the unfamiliar colleague of Askari and Hastings typed into the computer and looked up. I looked at Matt, who gave me a half-smile.
"We're in. It worked" he said. I felt Hastings put a hand on my head and he ran it down my tangled hair. I turned my head to the side and sighed, closing my eyes.
"Start with base security calls and covert deployments," Hastings commanded the tech man. I opened my eyes when I felt a hand cupping my cheek. Hastings smiled as my eyes met his and I felt sick. I tried to appear strong, but I wasn't fooling him. I didn't care anymore, though. He laughed a little and kept staring at me. I looked down, ignoring his touch and his stare.
"What?" Askari asked, looking at Hastings. I looked up and Hastings seemed deep in thought.
"Let's take Jareau with us..." He said slowly. My head shot up in attention as I felt tears forming in my eyes. A large knot in my throat grew and my stomach felt twisted.
"Are you crazy?" Askari hissed. Hastings removed his hand from my cheek and walked towards the center table. He picked up a syringe and filled it up with the same liquid Askari used when I first got here.
"She could be of use. Leverage, more information, etcetera," Hastings said as he carefully drew up the drug. I looked towards Askari and he shrugged.
"Fine. But she's your responsibility," he said as he yanked on Matt's chains, bringing him up to the same standing position I was in now. Hastings set down the vial containing the drug and held the syringe in his hand. He smirked as he walked towards me.
"No, please," I whispered. He put a hand on my cheek and ran it behind my head and in front of my hair.
"Shh..." He said soothingly."It's ok." His voice was smooth and calming, but I knew who he was. I brought my leg up in between his legs and hit his groin. He groaned out in pain as his legs gave way and he stumbled to the ground. Askari chuckled a little behind me as Hastings groaned while getting up. He roughly grabbed my hair and pulled it back, forcing me to look up. I winced in the sudden sharp pain, but held in my pain. I felt him move my sleeve down as he held the syringe in his mouth. He grabbed it with the hand he just used to move my sleeve.
"No!" I shouted as I started to struggle. His other hand pulled down sharply on my hair and I stopped resisting. I felt the needle enter my arm and a warm liquid flowing through me. A tear left my eye as he released my hair. My head slumped forward, but I couldn't help it. I tried to raise it, but that just made me more tired. I felt the chains loosen as my arms lowered and I felt myself lying on the ground. I tried to pick myself up, but was too weak against the power of the drugs. The last thing I saw before I blacked out was Hastings stupid smirk right in front of my eyes.
