Vivian and Jack had been working nonstop trying to figure out what to do. They had a hunch who had kidnaped their co-workers. "What does Bubba want with them?" Vivian asked, as she set down her pen. "He likes playing games with us. He thinks that by hurting the others, we will back down and pay. He wants to be in control."

"And he's doing a pretty good job at being the one in control of this game," Jack said, as he looked over at her. "Let's just hope that whatever game that he has planned next, isn't going to be sending someone home in a body bag."

"Yeah." They then got back to work.

"Time to wake up," a voice ordered causing all three agents to reach for their guns that weren't there. "Ah, nice bright faces too."

"Good morning to you to, Bubba," Martin said, as he sat up and covered his eyes with his free hand. "I see that you're a morning person."

"It's time for our next video conference," Bubba said, as his men came forward and yanked the agents to their feet. "This one is to see how well you like fire."

The three agents looked at each other, as they were released from their cuffs and their outer clothes stripped off. "So what's the plan?" Danny asked, as he looked around to see the tank in the corner with the stools in the middle of it.

"You're going to be standing on those stools while my men use flamethrowers around you. You jump into the water at any time, and you're only going to have to stand there longer."

"You're serious about this." They then were shoved towards the tank. "Was this your idea?"

"No, it was mine," a voice called out and they turned to see the man in dark clothing, coming towards them. "I would only want the best punishment for the FBI's best." He then shot a glance over at the tank then at Sam. "This should be interesting, don't you think Agent Spade."

"I don't know you," Sam said, as Martin and Danny climbed into the tank first and helped her into it. "So how do you know us so well?"

"Because I believe it's a very good thing to know your enemies. You three are by far, some of the greatest agents the FBI has. This test is just simply to test your endurance. I want to know your strengths and weaknesses. I'm not so trustworthy as Bubba is."

"Do we at least get to know your name?" They got onto their stools and put out their arms to balance themselves.

"I'll tell you after this test is over." The man nodded and the flamethrowers started, in a wide circle around the tank. "With each pass, they'll get closer and closer."

"Jack, we got another video conference," Vivian yelled at him, over the head of the five extra agents they had brought in to help them bring the others home. "It's Bubba."

"Of course it is," Jack then turned towards the screen and his face fell. "What the hell?" The other agents turned to the screen to see Martin, Sam, and Danny on their stools with the flamethrowers getting closer. "What kind of game is he playing?"

"He's not," a voice called out from behind them, and they turned to see Victor. "It's Patrick. He's the one playing now."

"Well hello, Victor," a voice called out and they turned to face the man in black. "It's been a long time since we've last spoken. Let's hope your little friends stand up my tests. See you all in a couple of hours." Then the screen went black.

"You have to tell us all that you know about Patrick," Jack said to Victor.

Please review and tell me what you think.

Well we all know that the man in black is named Patrick. But there's more to Patrick then meets the eye.
