I know, I know, it's about time. Sadly real life has been kicking me all around. I should more real soon.

"Gina, report," Tom demanded over the radio. He had a bad feeling all hell was starting to break loose. "Gina, what's going on?"
"Tom doesn't look happy," Alex commented, watching him make his way to the backyard. "He's headed to the back."
"Monica, do you see Gina?" Jake asked.
"There's half a forest out there and no light," Monica replied. "What do you think?"
"Plus, she has on dark clothes," Cody chipped in.
"Hey!" Jake growled. "Want me to hang you out the window for Donovan?"
"I'm just stating the obvious," Cody muttered.
"Get ready to move," Jake warned, heading for the door. "I don't like this."
Tom took his small mag light out and shined it along the trees. He knew it could mean trouble if Donovan was in the area and saw it, but he needed to find Gina. He watched as the small beam of light slid across the grass.
A glint of something that looked like metal caught his eye when the beam of light passed over it. Tom crouched down to see what it was. He picked it up and knew what it was. He closed his eyes and shook his head. "Fuck!" he swore. He froze when he felt the presence of someone behind him.
Tom quickly turned, taking aim at the person behind him.
"Hang on! I'm on your side remember?" Jake said, holding his gun up.
"What the fuck are you doing out here?" Tom hissed, dragging Jake back towards the house. "You were told to stay in the house. Are you trying to get yourself killed?"
"What's going on?" Alex demanded as they stormed into the house.
"We're moving." Tom ordered, pushing Jake away, "Now!"
"What's going on?" Monica demanded.
"Where's Gina?" Cody asked.
"We need to wait for Gina," Jake said, trying to get Tom to stop.
"Move now!" Tom once again ordered.
"What's going on?" Alex yelled, pushing Cody into the van.
"Where's Gina?" Jake asked again.
"We need to go back for her!" Cody yelled.
"We can't!" Tom exploded, wondering how Donovan ever worked with these people.. "She's gone."
"What do you mean, 'she's gone'?" Jake asked.
"Donovan has her." Tom flatly replied.
"We have to go back for her!" Cody stated.
"We can't," Tom answered. "She knew what she was getting into. We need to come up with a new plan."

Gina tried to raise her head, but the pain in her neck and back stopped her. She could smell death in the air. She was thirsty. She moved her tongue over her lips and tasted the dried blood. She could feel the left side of her face throbbing.
She could hear people yelling in Arabic. She tried to open her eyes to see, but was only able to open her right eye. Her left was swollen shut. All she could see was complete darkness.
Gina started to panic when she couldn't see. She started to shake her head, attempting to clear her sight. She had to see again, no matter the cost.
She heard someone near her and felt their hands on her head, stopping her from shaking.
"Ssh, it's okay," the voice soothed, taking off the blindfold. "I'm not going to hurt you."
Gina quickly blinked her eyes, trying to adjust them to the light. She tried to move her arms, but found out that they were tied to the arms of the chair. She tried to slow her breathing down, but ended up starting to laugh.
"Gina, relax, it's okay." Donovan repeated. "I'm not going to hurt you."
Gina looked into his eyes and saw that he meant what he said. After all, if Donovan wanted her dead, he would've done it by now.
"What," Gina said, trying to catch her breath. "What do you want?"
"I want you to help me with Weisz." Donovan stated.
Gina stared at Donovan, not sure of what she heard. "You want me to help you," she cautiously asked. "With Weisz?"
"Yes." he replied.
Gina took a good look at Donovan and started to laugh. "Help you with Weisz?" She started to laugh even harder. Tears were coming out of her eyes from laughing. Donovan sat back on his heels and waited for Gina to calm down. She stopped laughing and looked at Donovan. "Get bent," she spat. "I'm not going to help you kill our mentor."
Donovan grabbed her chin and looked into her eyes. "I want you to help me not kill him," he pleaded.
