HM+N hey, sorry it has taken so long for us to upload this chapter. School just started back up, and we are being overloaded. *sigh* on with the story. we hope to be finishing it soon.
~@~
Our hearfelt condolences and prayers go out to the victims and families of those diceased in the 9/11/01 attack on America. We will keep you in our hearts forever.
~@~
we're gonna interrupt the fic to have a little memorial for those who were injured
or killed in the terrorist attack on Tuesday. We've decided to post our nation's an
them here, and while you read through it and listen to it in your head, please take a
moment to think about the many lives lost or forever changed by the cowardly
attack on our great nation. Justice will be served for those many many people on
the planes that were hijacked, in the Pentagon when the plane rammed into it, and
the people in or around the WTC towers when the two airplanes hit them and made
them collapse. Pray for their souls and for the people they left behind.
~@~
Oh say can you see
by the dawn's early light
what so proudly we hail
at the twilight's last gleaming
whose broad stripes and bright stars
through the perilous fight
for the ramparts we watched
were so gallantly streaming
and the rocket's red glare
the bombs bursting in air
gave proof through the night
that our flag was still there
oh say does that star-spangled
banner yet wave
o'er the land of the free
and the home of the brave

thank you, now back to the fic^-^

Chapter 6

Alex slowly came to in another room. Jessie was tied to a chair next to her, her face unnervingly calm. Alex took in surroundings. They were in a cell, and a tall, young man was sitting in a chair across from them with a box full of torture devices a his feet. "Welcome back, young lady. I need to ask you a few questions..." he said, as he stood up and reached in the box for a pair of handcuffs. He untied her from the chair and handcuffed her hands in front of her. Then he wrenched Alex up and threw her to the wall where a metal hook hung six feet off the wall. He lifted her fatigued body up until she hung from it facing the wall. He grabbed another pair of cuffs and did the same to Jessie, who didn't struggle. The guard grabbed a knife and tore the backs of their black shirts off. "Answer the question correctly and you won't get hurt." He sneered.
"What organization do you work for?" The man asked.
"The International Organization of Smelly Hamsters..."Alex scoffed, but she was quieted by the sting of a whip that tore across her exposed back. Jessie gave her best friend a look of concern and pulled her head back far enough to see the small line of blood drawn from Alex. 'So this is what all of those beatings in training camp were for...so we were hardened enough not to blab the FBI secrets.' she thought, knowing her own whipping would be soon.
"Damn bitch! Tell me who you work for!!" The angry guard yelled, yanking the tired girl's blonde hair back roughly.
"Why the hell would I tell you?!" she retorted, earning her another lashing. Criss-cross blood streaks now adorned her back. She fought back the urge to shriek. Her feet dangled fifteen inches off of the floor and she kicked wildly.
"Now you better talk or you're gonna get the beating of your life. So who do you work for, what is your purpose, and who are your allies in crime??"
"We work for Publix, our purpose is to do the Macarena on the moon, and our allies are Santa Claus, God, and the Easter Bunny." Alex gritted as she prepared for many new scars. And they came one after the other until she almost passed out from blood loss. Jessie was getting more worried about her friend with every beating. Finally, Alex turned her head with a lot of effort towards her life friend and gave her the best smile she could manage. 'love you' she mouthed just before the next blow knocked her out cold.
"Alex!" Jessie screamed as she lost her cool and yanked hard against the metal cuffs holding her to the hook. She put her feet on the wall and walked up it, then detaching herself from the menacing iron hook. She caught the man off guard, who stepped back a few feet. Turning to Alex, she lifted her until she was clear of the hook. Then Jessie hefted her over her shoulder, racing to the door. But she was beaten to it.
The door was blown in and Jessie was knocked on her back, sending Alex sprawling across the floor to the torture guard's feet. He grinned at Jessie, who looked back horror-stricken as the guard raised another weapon, a semi-automatic pistol, directly at the vulnerable body beneath him. Jessie glanced at the door, where she could see the guys come back to the rescue. With split second reactions, she dove to cover Alex just as the armed guard pulled the trigger.
