Jesse wasn't sure how long they had been locked up in the cell but he knew that his friend's deadline for appearing was drawing near. Looking down at Emma's head in his lap he felt a pang of guilt as he remembered how she pleaded with him not to contact Brennan. //I'm sorry everyone// he thought to himself as he ran a hand through is hair.
~~~
Brennan and Shalimar argued with Adam for half an hour before he finally agreed to let them go but not before making it very clear that their mission was to simply get Jesse and Emma out and that Holmes would have to wait.
That was an hour and a half ago and they were now standing in front of the address Holmes had given them.
"You ready?" he asked Shalimar
"Ready as I'll ever be" she replied as they entered the building
They got about five feet inside the building when Vance and several men surrounded them "We've been expecting you" he said
"Where are our friends?" Shalimar asked
"They are here but first" Vance said and motioned for two of his men forward
Seeing what they had in their hands Shalimar immediately went feral and took a fighting stance
"Now Ms. Fox if you want to see your friends this" he said motioning toward the governor gun "is how it works. But if you would rather we do this the hard way then fine by me"
Just as it looked the men were about to attack when one of them pulled out a tranq gun and shot Brennan and Shalimar knocking them unconscious. After they were down the two men moved in and put the governor's in their necks
"Put him in the cell with the other two" Vance said pointing at Brennan "and bring her to Mr. Holmes" he said in reference to Shalimar
~~~
Shalimar woke up to find herself suspended about an inch or two off the ground with her hands cuffed above her head. "What the hell?" she muttered
"Well hello again Ms. Fox or should I call you Mrs. Mulwray?" mocked Holmes holding up her wedding ring
"What do you want?"
"The same thing I told Mr. Kilmartin and Ms. DeLauro....revenge"
"Where are they?"
"Oh don't worry they're alive....for now. I simply wanted it to be the two of us for a little while" he replied with a devious smile "This man right here" he said pointing Vance "is going to make sure our time together is very memorable"
Before she could answer Vance placed the taser rod, which was now on its highest setting, against her stomach "Ahh" she screamed as the electricity flowed through her side.
This continued for several minutes when Vance decided to switch tools. Pulling out a serrated knife he looked over at Holmes for acceptance when he got it he walked over to Shalimar.
Running the knife along her chin then along her collarbone down her chest and stopping just above her belly button before slicing her several times. Shalimar screamed with every slice he made.
"Stop" said Holmes. Vance halted his advances and waited. "Bring Mr. Mulwray in" he said to one of the men
~~~
Brennan was worried sick. Shalimar had not been dropped into the cell with the rest of them and Jesse told him he was there for a good half hour before he woke up.
"How are we going to get out of here?" Emma asked
"I don't know but....." Brennan started but he was cut off by the sound of the door opening.
All three scrambled to their feet and hoped it was Shalimar being brought in. But that didn't happen, the door swung open and three men stepped inside the room armed with tasers
"Mr. Mulwray will come with us" one of them said
Jesse looked at Brennan to see if they were going to make a break for it but his friend never took his eyes off the men in the room before moving toward the door
"Brennan" whispered Jesse
"It's ok" he replied giving Jesse a look that said 'now is not the right time' before following the men out of the room
~~~
Brennan entered the room where Shalimar was being held and as soon as he saw his wife he started to rush to her but was stopped by several men. "Shal" he called out as he struggled against the hands that held him
"How good of you to join us, tie him up across from her" said Holmes never breaking eye contact with Brennan
Hearing the scuffle and Brennan call out her name, Shalimar had managed to lift her head just enough to see then tie Brennan up in the same manner as her. "Brennan" she said weakly
"No talking out of turn" said Vance as he punched her in the stomach "Bastard, leave her alone" yelled Brennan as he struggled with his cuffs
Vance walked over to him and punched him several times in the face and stomach "what did I say about talking out of turn?"
"Go to hell" spat Brennan.
Vance was about to punch him again when Holmes told him to back off. Moving away from Brennan in order to allow Holmes access Vance moved back over to Shalimar and waited his turn
"Now Mr. Mulwray.....oh congratulations by the way" he said holding up his and Shalimar's wedding bands for him to see
Brennan merely glared at him with pure hatred
"Keep up the anger and you will waste all your strength and believe me you will need it. Vance you may begin"
"What you don't want to get your hands dirty?" snorted Brennan
"No I just enjoy watching Vance work his magic it is so much more enjoyable" replied Holmes
Vance grinned and pulled Shalimar's hair so he could see her face. Looking over at Brennan he smiled and then hit her in her Adam's apple causing her to cough and gasp for air.
"Leave her alone"
Vance moved quickly over to him and punched him in the face making his lip bleed "I though I said no talking out of turn"
This time Brennan kept his mouth shut
"Very good you catch on quickly" he said moving over to his case of torture tools. Picking up the knife he sliced Shalimar with earlier he twirled it in his hand and sauntered toward Shalimar. "You are a very lucky man Mr. Mulwray do you know that?" he asked touching Shalimar's cheek
"Leave her alone" said Brennan who was getting tired of seeing his wife get hurt and him not being able to do anything about it.
Turning quickly Vance launched the knife at Brennan imbedding itself in his leg causing him to scream out in pain. Walking over to him Vance grabbed the handle on the knife and began to twist it making Brennan scream out in agony. "Stop" Shalimar said weakly from across the room
Stopping his actions and turning to Shalimar "I thought I made it clear there was to be no talking out of turn"
"You want to take your revenge" she said looking at Holmes "come over here and do it yourself pathetic excuse for a human being"
"Shal?" questioned Brennan who understood where she was going with her taunting
"Don't worry Ms. Fox when the time comes I will be the one to end and you will be begging for it"
"Until then you cower in the corner while he" nodding towards Vance "does the dirty work. That's not revenge that is cowardice"
"I think now would be a good time for you to shut up" said Holmes who was obviously becoming agitated by the feral's taunts
"Why should I? I have no reason to fear a weak pathetic loser like you. Your buddy Vance has more scones than you ever will" she finished letting her own anger grow "I wouldn't be surprised if he was the one who came up with your entire plan from the beginning"
"ENOUGH" he screamed yanking the knife out of Brennan's leg and using it to stab Shalimar in the shoulder, her screams only fueling his anger "not so smart now are you, you freak" he spat letting go of the knife but leaving it in her shoulder "take them back to the cell" he screamed before storming out of the room
~~~
TBC....I know I know Shalimar is getting the short end of the stick again but it is just so easy with this story!! The damsel in distress routine will not be played out all the way through the story I promise. Let me know what you think.
