...Still at the motel...

Jay and his friends sat in a circle glancing over at Carter from time to time as if planning something or just trying to strike fear in their victim's heart. Carter sat there scared to speak and determined to find a way out; he continually scanned the room for any exit or anything to help him remove his newly acquired handcuffs. Something caught his eye glistening only a foot from where he sat. He stared at it for only a moment before he realized that what he saw was an earring with a red stone in it. He waited till they all looked away and shifted quickly at if stretching his legs and using his heal pulled the jewelry closer to his body. As he grabbed for the piece of jewelry he began to feel uneasy. Upon looking up he noticed that all the men were now standing around him.

"Told ya he would find it" Sal said as he bent down to pick up the earring. "What doc not having fun? Well maybe you feel left out is that it?" Jay quipped as he bent down to un-cuff Carter. He lifted Carter to a standing position and forced him into the middle of the room. "So doc what game do you want to play?" Jay asked teasingly as he motioned for his friends to encircle Carter.

Just then a flash of light filled the room as Carter stared at the men descending the stairs to the basement; it took him only a moment to realize who these two people were.

"Hey you've met my two friends here back at the hospital right doc? They told me that you didn't really like me all that much" The two people knelt down beside Carter and watched as his expression of shock and horror turned into anger and rage. One of the leaned towards Carter and whispered in his ear "never trust anyone Dr. Carter" "But... I thought you were..." Carter rambled off as he watched jay load his gun. "We are just some more good friends of Jay's" Carter looked around still confused and praying for anyone to come.

...At the police station...

"We were able to trace the number Mr. Benton" said agent Kennedy "It's Dr. Benton and where is it?" "It's an old motel not in service anymore about an hour from here..." as he rambled off the directions Benton listened eagerly. "So what now?" Benton interjected. "Well we have two fine men on the case they were the ones who brought this convict into the hospital today" "You trust them to do this after losing him in the first place?" Benton could feel his anger building up. "They should be arriving there any minute now to help your friend" Benton knew that there was nothing more he could do by just waiting around he decided to follow his instincts and help Carter himself.

...Back at the motel... "You see Dr. Carter you're here to stay for a while, the Chief thinks we are here to well rescue you and for all he knows we are" The other unnamed man teasingly stated "Uniforms are a nice touch don't you think?" With that he stepped closer and drawing his leg back kicked Carter harshly in his ribs causing him to grab his side in pain. All Carter could see were blurs surrounding him and continually kicking him sending pain through his back and chest and then he could feel someone lift him up from his collar and slam his head to the hard cement floor repetitively until he could feel the world slipping away. He then heard Jay's distinct voice "Stop, that's good for now we want him awake for the events to come and the finale of course" Carter slowly regained enough strength to sit up but was unsure if that was a good thing.

"Why?" is all Carter could say unaware of what the outcome of his innocent question could be.

"I was wondering hoe long it would take you to ask that obvious question, well where to begin, how about the first time I met you remember that doc?" "At the hospital today?" "Nope wrong doc, you see we met a couple of months ago the day of your dreadful accident but I never got a chance to introduce myself to you, I did meet M. Knight though" there was a pause as Jay waited for Carter to ask more questions but he just sat there waiting patiently "Well my brother met you, but you didn't take very good care of him doc you see funny thing you will laugh, Paul well he is my brother and I love him dearly so the rest you can figure out" Carter sat there stunned and even more frightened then he could ever remember being.

They sat there watching each other forgetting the rest of the world as the saw into each others souls. Jay broke the gaze and informed his friends to leave that the rest he could do himself. As they left they glared at Carter and Snake motioned his finger across his throat as if telling the future. Jay looked back at Carter and grabbed his gun "Don't you go anywhere now" he said as walked up the stairs after his friends.

He came back only moments later with one hand hidden behind his back "Well doc I have a surprise for you I hope that you like surprises" with that he pulled his hand out from behind his back revealing a long kitchen knife resembling the one that killed Lucy and severely injured him. "I bought this just for you, hope you enjoy" he polished the knife with a cloth he pulled out of his pocket. Carter froze watching every movement of the knife. "Well doc you don't seem happy about your surprise don't you like it?" Carter didn't move as he watched Jay move closer to him.

Carter closed his eyes tightly as the pain surged through his arm as Jay pulled back and returned to sitting and polishing his now tarnished blade. "What you thought I would make it fast, well that's not my style pain is what I am after" Carter held his shoulder hopping to control the bleeding. The pain ran through his entire body causing his vision to blacken.
