Jane couldn't remember exactly how he was brought to this location. His last memory had been of walking back to his car, groceries in hand, before hearing the crackle of electricity and a pain shooting through him. A taser, he had realized before he blacked out. And then he had woken up in this warehouse.
"Patrick Jane, CBI Consultant," a voice said, and Jane tried to look for its owner. The task was difficult, considering the fact that he was currently tied to a chair. Thankfully, his kidnapper moved so he was standing right in front of Jane. "You know, I've always hated the police," the kidnapper said. "I originally wanted to nab an agent, but you'll do just as well."
"What do you mean?" Jane asked, trying not to let his fear show in his voice. He heard the tremble and immediately knew he had failed.
"I'm so tired," the kidnapper sighed. "I'm so tired of the police and everything they stand for. I wanted to make things a little more exciting again, for me at least, so I decided to torture one of you. Maybe even one of your best. I heard you close cases, Patrick Jane, which is why, in the end, I chose you."
"Torture?" Jane glanced around the room and immediately saw the whip lying there.
The kidnapper grinned. "Torture." He took a gun out of his pocket and held it at Jane's head. "I'm not against killing you either, if you don't listen to me. I'm going to untie you from the chair and then tie your hands again in front of you. If you don't comply, I will shoot you. Are we clear on that?"
Jane nodded stiffly. It's best to listen to what he says. He makes it seem like he'll let me live if I let him torture me, which is good. I'll be injured but at least I'll be alive. And maybe that'll even give Lisbon and the others enough time to find me.
The kidnapper did as he said he would, untying Jane from the chair then retying his hands in front of him. Then he led him over to the wall, his back facing the kidnapper, and Jane heard him pick up the whip. "You ready?" he sneered.
Jane didn't reply.
The first strike came and Jane cried out in pain. The kidnapper laughed before the whip hit him again. It kept on hitting him, Jane's voice eventually growing hoarse, his back growing numb, until the kidnapper finally stopped. "Mhm, my hands are growing tired. A little break, for my sake, not yours. Then we'll continue."
Please don't, Jane thought hazily through the pain. He leaned against the wall and sank down, eyes drooping as unconsciousness fought to claim him.
"I didn't say you could sit," the kidnapper's voice snapped at him, and Jane quickly forced himself up again.
"Let's talk about this," Jane said, hearing how his voice wobbled, his fear evident. "You don't have to do this, you know."
"Would you rather I do this to that Agent Lisbon of yours?" The kidnapper questioned, and Jane's mouth snapped shut. "Thought so." Jane heard the kidnapper get up. "Time for round two."
When Lisbon and the others finally found him, Jane was unconscious in a pool of his own blood. It was only days later when he finally woke up, and even then, he was still in pain.
