Chapter 7: Tony and Michelle

Kims' POV

I finally had gotten my father to fall asleep again. What he said though stayed in my head. They had stopped his heart over there, more then once? How was he still living if he wasnt treated properly. That bugged me the most. No wonder he had heart problems. I pitied him, i could understand why he didnt like the doctors now. They must of done the unspeakable to him. I felt like i wanted to cry thinking about this. Chase moved over to me and hugged me in comfort.

Chases' POV

I had just witnessed what i could only explain as a nervous break down. Jack had nearly ripped the IV out of his arm and tried to leave. I saw fear in his eyes even at the mention of doctors. I could only imagine what they had done to him. What they made him do. I truely feel sorry for him. I moved over to Kim and hugged her to try and comfort her, because it looked like she was about to cry.

Few hours passed in unearthly silence. Finally the door had opened and i saw 2 people I didnt expect to see. Tony came in first followed by Michelle who was holding Tonys' hand.

"We heard what happened..." Tony said quietly. Kim had fallen asleep in the chair.

"We wanted to see him" Michelle said.

"hes asleep now" I commented glancing over to jacks' sleeping form.

Tonys' POV

"How bad is he?" I had to ask. I had heard what had happened through CTU, and i had to see him for myself.

"He is going to need a new heart" Chase edged over to me and Michelle. I gasped in unison with Michelle. I didnt think he was that bad.

"Has he woken up yet?" I asked.

"Yes a few hours ago, it seems hes afraid of the doctors..." Chase sighed heavily. I could tell he was quite shaken up by this.

"Tony and I can look after him if you and Kim need a break" Michelle was thinking the same thing by that statement, I glanced over to Kim who was asleep holding her fathers' hand.

Michelles' POV

"Okay, but i suggest we wait til he wakes up again, he might not remember you that well...or at all..." Chase said quietly.

"Alright..." Tony said then sat down in one of the empty chairs. I followed his action and did it myself. A few hours past, and i was on the verge of falling asleep.

Jacks' POV

FlashBack

"135797531, Come you need to start your work" The guard hissed picking me up by the arms and forcing me to stand. Some how I manage to stay on my feet, i had lost so much strength and energy from just being here for i dont know how long it has been. I havent done much aside from getting beaten, and worn down. They finally had gotten me into a submissive mode. I finally dropped the strong facade, started answering to the number. Started to drop everything. I knew it was the only way i could survive, if i didnt drop this facade i wouldnt last much longer. For now i shall stay submissive, and formulate a plan to escape.

The guard half drags me along across the court yard of the place and leads me to a room. He roughly throws me in, as i go face first into the ground. I slowly struggle to my feet spitting the blood from my mouth as i look up seeing a desk, chair, and a man standing by the chair.

"135797531, sit here" He orders me. I slowly stumble to my feet and sit down with the desk infront of me. I look at the laptop on the desk as it has a blank screen on it.

"I want you to hack into the US governments' files, find missle locations" He told me what i had to do. I just stared at him for a second.

"Understand?" He asks me. I just stare at him, like i am going to betray my country for you, thats what i want to say. I just stay silent though. I am rewarded with a hard slap across the cheek. I nearly fall out of my chair from the head jerk, but i regain my composure and just continue to stare at him.

"Do it!" He hissed slapping my cheek again. My head reels, then i look at the screen. I am not going to do this, I just cant. It goes against everything I stand for. I glare at him defiantly.

"DO IT!" He yells at me, I still glare at him silently. He then punchs me in the rib cage, i fall backwards yelping in pain, the chair comes with me as my head hits the concrete floor. The man hisses in frustration as he goes to the door and shouts something in arabic.

The guard comes back and picks me up, dragging me to the middle of the court yard. Where the hole is...He flips the wooden door to the mud hole open and tosses me down there. I land hard on my old injuries, i landed the same way as the first time. I hear my arm shatter again as I whimper in pain. The guard pulls the door back closed, leaving me in darkness again. I am not going to help them hurt my country, even if i have to stay down here forever.

I stirred awake again in the same room. I scan the area to see 2 new strangers in the room. I look at them carefully, I feel as though i should know them. But I cant place any names on them. I move my eyes over to Kim who is sleeping, I dont jerk away this time, she needs sleep. I will let her sleep. I move my eyes over to the last being in the room, which is Chase. He saw that I was awake and moved over to me.

"Who are they?" I whispered to Chase, side glancing at the 2 new strangers in the room.

"Tony and Michelle, they were your friends before..." Chase trailed off. I glanced at Tony and Michelle, and smiled weakly, finally memories with them were flooding back into my head, the same as what had happened with Kim and Chase.

"They wanted to see you" Chase stated. I looked back at him.

"How long have i been out?" I asked him.

"8 hours" He answered.

"How long have they been here?" I asked another question.

"3 hours" He answered again, he then moved over to the couple in the chairs and prodded them awake. All 3 of them then moved over to my bed.

"Hey Jack..." Tony smiled weakly.

"How are you feeling?" Michelle asked.

"Ive been worse..." I answered, which was true. I have been worse, alot worse, but I have also been alot better too. At least I think I have.

"Do you mind if Kim and I go home and get some rest?" Chase asks.

"I dont want to be alone..." I said the truth. I really dont trust those doctors, I need someone I can trust to stay with me.

"Tony and Michelle will be here" Chase said.

"Alright..." I answered submissively, though I want Kim to be by me. Chase smiles weakly as he moves over to the sleeping Kim, picking her up into his arms. She was a heavy sleeper I realize, she didnt even stir by this movement. I wish i was that heavy of a sleeper. Maybe i was a long time ago, but not anymore. They leave the room, leaving me with Tony and Michelle.
