Clays Location: Time in Isolation – 41 hours

Clay was startled out of a deep sleep by the door being flung open and his father walking in.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" Ash asked with a sly smirk on his face.

Clay sat himself up against the wall, mind blown. "What the hell are you doing here? How'd you even get here?" He was so confused.

"I heard you were captured. You really think I'd miss the chance to gloat!? What was it you said to me? Oh Yeah, that right, 'you're erasing my footsteps.' You thought you could be better than me. Do better than I could. You're such a joke! I'm ashamed to even call you my son!" Ash bit out, all the while, laughing.

Clay was speechless, almost as if he had forgotten how to talk altogether. What his father said hurt like hell.

"Well sorry to be such a fucking disappointment to you, but you weren't exactly the best father either!" Clay spoke, finally finding his words. "Who knows, maybe if you would have actually been there for me, to support me and show me the ropes, I wouldn't be stuck in here!"

"Oh no. You being stuck in here has nothing to do with me so don't even try pulling that shit! That's all on you and your team! Where are they anyway? Just leaving you in here to be sold to god only knows who? Some brothers they are!" Ash laughed.

"You know what Ash? Just shut up. What kind of father flies halfway across the world to find his captured son and rub it in? Most would fly in to rescue them." Clay paused as a new thought dawned on him. "Wait a second, are you here to take me home!?"

"Yeah, of course, here let me help you up?" Ash said in a sarcastic tone that Clay couldn't puck up on and extended his hand.

Clay reached for his hand and Ash helped him up to his feet. As soon as Clay was on his feet, Ash quickly freed his hand, folding it around Clays neck and then shoved held him up against the wall.

Clay instinctively reached up and gripped around his fathers' arm, trying to loosen his fathers grip around his neck so that he could breathe. Any training he had before that would have helped him escape his fathers grip became non-existent.

Nothing he did loosened the grip and he began to panic. As a last-ditch effort, Clay started swinging punches at his father, missing more times than he connected. At one point, Ash ducked, and Clay's fist went straight into a wall causing a shooting pain up his arm.

Unable to free himself from Ash's grip, he felt himself passing out from lack of oxygen. Ash noticed and let go, allowing Clay to fall to the ground gasping for air. Ash headed for the door and right before walking out, turned around to look at his son. "Enjoy 'erasing my footsteps,' you're such a disappointment." That was the last thing he remembered before passing out on the ground.

Yuri's Office

Yuri's excitement continued to grow as the number of bids continued to go up. It wasn't often a member of the US military practically fell into his hands. It thrilled him, but at the same time, scared him.

The closer they came to the 48-hour mark, the more anxious he became. It was more of an exited anxiousness, but until this guy was no longer in possession and he had the money in his account, there was still a hint of nervousness.

He knew whoever this guy was here with was sure to have a team looking for him. He just hoped they remained unaware of his second location. Chances were, they were not only looking for their man, but for him too. He had no intentions of being caught.

Realizing it had been about 18 hours since he last 'fed' his prisoner, he decided to bring him something to eat again.

As he entered the room, he was surprised to see the guy laying in the opposite corner of his bed, with bloody and bruised knuckles on his right hand.

Yuri walked over and nudged the sleeping man and he didn't budge so he nudged harder. The second time, Clay started to stir. After a third nudge, Clay finally opened his eyes and looked up.

"Eat." Yuri ordered him.

"Not hungry." Clay mumbled, laying his head back down and closing his eyes, frustrating Yuri even more.

"Do you learn nothing!" Yuri shouted at him as he landed a hard kick to Clay's side.

The kick caught Clay off guard and reminded him of his tumble down the side of the mountain, ultimately leading to his capture. The one where Ray and Brock just watched and didn't even try to prevent it.

"Eat!" Yuri tried again. This time when Clay didn't respond, Yuri grabbed him by his hair, causing Clay to wince at the sudden movement and forced him to sit up. "When will you learn to do as you're told!?"

Yuri went to force the food down Clay's throat again when Clay stopped him. He had put a tight grip around Yuri's arm and prevented him from getting any closer. It was at that point that Clay realized that he could possibly overpower him.

In a last-ditch, adrenaline filled attempt to free himself, Clay stood up and attempted to over power Yuri. The plate Yuri was holding went flying and Clay landed a punch to his jaw.

The action infuriated Yuri. He returned a punch and then kicked at Clay's injured ankle, sweeping his feet from under him and forcing him back to the ground.

As Clay fell back down to the ground, Yuri continued kicking him, no longer concerned about what shape he was in as long as he wasn't dead.

"You stupid boy! I try to be nice, give you food and this is how you repay me!?" Yuri shouted, until he noticed Clay, who was bleeding and no longer protecting himself.

He stopped kicking and shouting and stared at the motionless man, pissed at himself for letting his anger get the best of him. He bent down, checking to make sure the man was still alive and was relieved to find he was still breathing, just passed out.

Clays Location

The next time Clay woke up, he was surprised to see the door cracked open and what looked like Sonny sitting in the corner just watching him.

"Sonny?" Clay asked confused.

"Yeah kid, it's me." Sonny sighed.

"What the hell man? Why you just sitting there? Where's the rest of the team?" Clay asked, sitting himself up against the wall.

"Oh, don't worry, they'll be here shortly." Sonny said.

Clay's confusion continued to grow.

"You know, when you first joined the team, I wanted nothing to do with you, and I mean nothing. I heard the stories about your dad, seen how you behaved during green team and I wasn't impressed. The day Jason picked you, I told him it was the biggest mistake he could have made and you know? I wasn't wrong. You've done nothing but question orders and disobey orders since you joined us. This team would be so much better without you." Sonny admitted, glad to finally get that off his chest.

Sonny's words were like a dagger straight to Clay's heart. Sonny was supposed to be his best friend so to hear what Sonny had to say really hurt. "So, if I'm such a terrible addition to the team, why did you guys come find me?"

"Oh, we didn't come here for you, we came for Yuri. You can rot in here for the rest of your life for all I care." Sonny hissed as he stood up and headed for the door.

Clay quickly stood up and stumbled to the door as Sonny slammed it shut. "Don't do this to me Sonny! You can't leave me in here like this! Sonny! Please don't do this! Please!" Clay pleaded as tears once again began to fall.

He punched the wall multiple times out of frustration and anger, not even caring how much it hurt anymore.

Hour 45 was when Clay hit his all time low. With nothing else to do, he kept replaying Ash and Sonny's conversations over and over in his head. He felt worthless and numb. He just wanted to be done with everything and everyone, feeling the will to live become less and less.

Bravo's Location: Hour 47

Afraid that they weren't going to make it to Clay in time, Bravo had picked up their pace. They were pleasantly surprised to reach the location with just under an hour to spare. As they approached the location, they noticed there was only two men guarding the door.

"Ray, Brock, I want you two to go over there and to take them out." Jason pointed to a tree line a little further to the right. "

Ray and Brock nodded then proceeded to make their way over to the tree line and waited for Jason to give the go-ahead. As soon as he did, the two simultaneous shots instantly took out the two guards.

"Alright, lets go get our boy back!" Jason stated as they all made their way towards the entrance, not knowing what to expect inside and praying they would find their youngest member alive and intact.

They knew Yuri had every intention of selling the kid. Because of that, they knew he would keep Clay alive. What they didn't know is what kind of torture they would put Clay through in the meantime.

They all had their suspicions, ranging from waterboarding to whips to a good old-fashioned beat down.

Trent was glad he had packed extra medical equipment for this mission. He had a feeling he was going to need it due to the difficult terrain they were going to face. He didn't expect to need it for someone getting captured though. He just hoped he packed enough to be able to treat whatever they did to Clay.

As they walked through the doors, they were surprised to find no one. Not a single person. Just two long hallways headed in separate directions, with doors lining both sides.

It was an eerie feeling. It was dark, lined with dim lights along the floor. It reminded Sonny of the lights in movie theaters. They also couldn't help but notice how cold it was. Nowhere near as cold as it was outside, but definitely colder than they expected for being 'indoors.'

"Where is everyone?" Sonny whispered. "Think it's a setup?"

"I don't know. Possible." Jason replied. "Just keep an eye out."

"Alright boss, what's the plan?" Trent asked. "There's a lot of doors. Yuri and Clay could be behind anyone of them."

"We find Yuri first. He'll know where Clay is." Jason replied.

"You think he'll talk?" Ray asked.

"He will if he wants to live." Jason barked.

He then had Ray, Trent and Brock go down the right hall, while he and Sonny went left. At the end of the left hallway, Jason and Sonny noticed a door that was slightly different than the rest.

They made eye contact, almost like they were reading each other's minds. Jason the quietly radioed to Ray, telling them he needed them to rejoin the group because they had possibly located Yuri.

"God only knows what's inside that door Jase." Sonny whispered.

"That's why were waiting for the rest." Jason answered.

Before they knew it, Ray Trent and Brock had rejoined the pack and they prepared to breach the door. Once the door was blown off, gunfire began to erupt from inside.

They promptly began returning fire while trying their best not to get shot. As soon as the gunfire died down and they were able to enter the room, they found Yuri, shot but still alive, for now.

They ran over to him. Trent instantly put pressure on his wound to slow the bleeding while Jason started yelling in his face. "Where is he!? Huh!? Tell us where he is!?"

Trent started pulling medical supplies out of his bag with one hand while still holding pressure on the gunshot wound with the other. "Trent, stop!" Jason ordered.

"Jase, he's gonna die if I don't." He started to say before Jason cut him off.

"He's gonna die anyway. Save it for the kid, we don't know what kind of condition he's gonna be in."

Ray took a step back as flashbacks of Mexico popped back in his head. The situations were different. There was no priest here and Yuri wasn't begging for last rights, but it still brought him back to that night. "Jase come on man, let Trent help him."

"Not until he tells me where Clay is!" Jason hissed as he glared at Yuri, not once taking his eyes off him.

Yuri laughed. He knew he was dying. "Have fun finding him." He coughed out, right before closing his eyes for good.

"Shit." Jason cursed under his breath. Not only had Yuri died when they were supposed to bring him in alive, but now they had to open every single door until they found Clay, and there were a lot of doors. He just hoped Clay would be behind one of them and not being held somewhere else because it was going to take quite a bit of time to get through all those doors. If Clay wasn't behind one of them, they would be wasting precious time.

Jason finally stood up, realizing everyone was looking at him, waiting to hear what they're next move would be. He looked around and realized Yuri had a key ring clipped to his belt loop. He grabbed it and split the keys between the five of them, each guy having between 8-10 keys. "The keys have to open those doors out there and Clay has to be behind one of them. I want every door opened until we find him!" Jason ordered as they quickly got to work trying to match keys with doors.

Alright guys. Hope you enjoyed the chapter. Sorry it took a little longer than expected. I had most of the chapter written and then it somehow got deleted without saving so I had to start over. Hope you're all still enjoying it :)
