The Van

Sam kept a careful eye on Pain and Rage, as the van hit some bumps and she flew into Martin's side. "Easy," he whispered to her, as he wrapped his free arm around her. "I don't want to go home bruised." That got a small smile from her face.

"Well isn't this a sweet picture," Bubba said, as he came up to them. "You two do make a cute couple." He then looked down at Pain and Rage. "We have a little problem though."

"What kind of problem?" Sam asked, as she shot a glance over at Martin.

"We don't have any place to put you guys now."

"That is a problem." The van then slammed to a screeching halt and Martin took the opportunity. He slammed a punch into Bubba, pushed open the door, and they were off, running down the alleyway. "What do we do now?"

"We run," Martin said, as they took a right at the end of the alley way as Pain and Rage came rushing after them. "Just don't stop."

"Right." Martin pulled her along with him into a department store and they rushed towards the back. "This isn't a good idea, Martin."

"I know." Martin then took out his cell phone and dialed Danny's number. "Let's just hope, Danny's at work."

"Yeah, let's hope." Martin pulled Sam down, when he spotted Bubba's men coming into the store.

FBI: Missing Person's Head Quarters

Danny was in the middle of a conversation with Vivian when his phone rang. Without thinking, he picked it up and answered it. "Taylor," he said, as he contined to look down at the notes in his hand.

"Danny," Martin said in a hushed tone, causing Danny to look up at Vivian. "We need a ride."

"Martin?" Danny called out, as Jack and Victor came up to them. "Where are you?"

"We jumped from the van and ran into a department store."

"They're getting closer, Martin," Sam whispered to him. "We need to go."

"Yeah, I see them. Danny meet us in the park across from the library. Come alone. I don't want to draw too much attention to ourselves."

"Go, Danny," Jack said, as he gestured towards the elevator. "Call us when you have them." Danny then took off for the elevators.

The Department Store

"Okay," Martin whispered to Sam, as he flipped his phone shut and put it in his pocket. "We need to get to the park across from the library. Danny's going to pick us up there."

"Okay, how do we get past those men?" Sam asked, as the men started to come closer.

"Can I help you?" a soft voiced called out, and they turned to see an elderly sales clerk.

"Yes, those men have been following my husband and I for blocks now," Sam started, as she took up Martin's cuffed hand in her cuffed one, so that the woman wouldn't see them.

"So what do you need me to do?"

"Can we use your back door to get out of here?"

"Sure." The woman then lead the way to the back door and they slipped out into the alleyway. "Are you sure you're going to be okay?"

"Yeah, we're fine. Thank you." They then took off for the park. "That was easy."

"Not easy enough," Martin said, as he grabbed her arm and pointed to Pain and Rage who were standing at the end of the alleyway with Bubba. "Be prepared to make a run for it."

"Martin, that's a fence."

"You can make it."

"Take them down, boys," Bubba yelled at the dogs, and they came rushing towards Martin and Sam. Both agents turned and ran for the seven foot fence. Martin was the first one to reach the top and helped Sam over it. "You're not going to get away." They dropped to the their feet and took off in a mad dash for the street and the park.
