"Look at this, our guests are asleep. How very rude." As he spoke he looked directly over at the three silent goons, who immediately understood what he wanted doing.
One walked over to Kate, and produced a small silver object from his inside pocket. He placed the object under her nose and clicked twice. Seconds later she jumped awake, confused and disorientated. The two other men walked past her to Jack. They stood next to him and both placed their hands underneath his uninjured side. Together they flipped him over off of the gurney, onto the wooden floor. Jacks eyes snapped open, glazed over with pain. He couldn't comprehend what was happening, he was on the floor somewhere, not in the hospital. He laid still on the floor pain juttering throughout his side and arm as they had hit the floor hard. He twisted over onto his back, trying to relieve some of the pain. As he did so he began to feel more twinges of it through his leg, he didn't know what had happened their.
He looked around groggily trying to see where he was, and didn't like what he saw. Kate was looking around the room, as confused as he was. Over the other end he saw Kim stood against a wall, one of the three men holding her against it, after she had tried to run to her fathers aid. He immediately felt both worried and mad at the sight of Kim. Whatever it was that was happening here, it wasn't going to be good. As he continued to survey the room he saw a large man watching him carefully, he was extremely big, and Jack could easily tell his bulky frame was made of muscle not fat. He saw a couch and then saw the person sat on it, fear consumed the mans face as they locked eyes. At the sight of Daniel he was enraged, this was why he was here. His so called brother had got himself along with his daughter and.... a friend, in danger. Just because of his stupidity, all of them were in danger.
Charlie looked over to the two thugs who had thrown Jack on to the floor, and gave a slight upwards motion of his head. The two silent men each grabbed hold of Jack and pulled him up on his feet, and he let a small moan escape him as they did so, the pressure on his leg hurting, and the movement of his arm even more so. The two men moved away as Kim ran over to him after the thug restraining her had let go, and gently held his good arm, steadying him as he wobbled slightly from the dizziness obstructing his head and vision from all angles.
Charlie watched as she did this, then looked around at all of his guests. In just seconds he had a quick reading of everyone, he was good at reading people, and liked to do so. He could see that the woman named Kate was confused, the daughter was worried, Daniel was scared, and his brother Jack, he was.... Charlie had a hard time reading Jack, his eyes seemed to flash with a spark of anger, but he couldn't tell for sure. He decided that he was in pain, that would do for now, but he made a mental note in the back of his mind, he would get a proper reading on him later.
Taking a breath he spoke again, after getting his little reading on everyone. His loud yet deep voice echoed around the room, and silenced the roaring fire. "We had better get started with the introductions. I'm sure you three know each other rather well," He said gesturing to Kim and Jack, and Kate who had just shuffled over towards them out of fear. "These men are my associates, and this, whom I assume you know Jack, is Daniel."
As he said the name Kate glared over at him. So that was Jack's brother then. She had instantly noticed their resemblance to each other when she first came round, but never actually made the connection between the two. She guessed this was something to do with him, and once again she was getting dragged into Jacks dangerous world, and she had only re-entered his life merely hours ago.
She looked over at him and didn't feel the usual reassurance she did when she stood by his side. His eyes were drooping slightly, he was still wearing the white shorts and was wrapped in bandages like a mummy. He was leaning his weight on one leg, which meant him bandaged leg was hurting him. She saw that his expression concealed his pain, but she knew him well enough to know that he never allowed it to show. And because his body was so tense, she was certain he was hurting.
One thing she knew for sure, was that he wouldn't be able to save them this time.
