21 Hours Missing

6:17 AM

Outside the cage

Jesse ended up next to Danny, in her attempt to get away from the snakes. "Why are you testing me, dad?" she asked him, as one of his men grabbed her and pulled her struggling towards the tanks. "You know I hate snakes."

"I'm testing your loyalty to me, daughter," Patrick said, as he nodded and the man lifted her up and dropped her into the tank. Jesse let out a blood chilling scream, as she tried to get out of the tank. "It's for your own good, daughter.

"Oh, dear god," Vivian said, as they watched as Jesse began to panic, as she tried to get out of the tank, as the men put the lid on top, trapping her inside with the tanks. "How can he do that? She's his daughter."

"Because's she an asset he can stand to loose," Victor said, as they watched as Sam fought the men as they put her in the other tank. "It's to make sure that they won't panic under extreme fear. Jesse has all ready lost."

6:20 AM

By the tanks

Danny stood next to Martin as they watched as Sam sat down among the snakes. "She's got to be hating that," Danny whispered to him.

"Yeah, but she knows how to handle herself so she's not freaking out, like Shep is," Martin said, as Patrick nodded and the top was taken off Jesse's tank. She got out by herself and flung the snakes that were on her body at his men. Martin then grabbed her arm and pulled her close to him. "Shep, it's okay."

"I hate snakes," she said, as she ran her hands along her arms brushing off imaginary snakes.

"Shep, it's okay." Martin then returned his eyes over to see that Sam had started to shake. "Oh, god."

"Oh, god," Vivian said, as they watched as Sam fought to control her fear. "She's not going to last much longer.

"She's strong," Jack said, as he watched the tears start to fall down Sam's face.

6:35

Beside the tanks

"That's enough," Patrick said, and the lid was taken off of Sam's tank and she was pulled out. Sam brushed off the snakes before rushing over to Martin's side. "You all did well. That is except for my daughter."

"You had no right to make me do this test," Jesse said as she moved away from Martin and stood in front of her father. "That was cruel even for you."

"Enough!" Patrick's hand connected with Jesse's face and she went to the floor. "Cut the video feed, and put them back in the cage. The next test won't be for two hours. I need them well rested for it." He then turned his attention back to Jesse. "Don't you ever raise your voice to me again. I'll kill you were you stand." He then was gone.

"I bet you would," Jesse said, as she watched as Bubba's men escorted the others back to the cage. "But you won't, because I won't give you the chance."

Martin looked over as Jesse took off with a concerned look on his face. "You're concerned about her, aren't you?" Sam asked, him, as she sat down next to him, still brushing off imaginary snakes. "What was she like when you first met her?"

"I just started working for the FBI and was going to work. I found her trying to steal my car."

"And what did you do?"

"I had her arrested and that's when I learned that she was Patrick's daughter. I've been looking in on her since then."

"And she thinks of you as a big cute brother?" Danny asked, as he shot a glance over to see Jesse look over at Bubba's dogs. "She seems nice. She doesn't act like Patrick at all."

"She's got something planned?" Sam asked Martin, as they turned to face him. "Something to use to get back at Patrick for what he did to her."

"I have no doubt that she does."

"I wonder what she's got planned."

What does Jesse have planned? What other 'tests' does Patrick have planned? More adventure to come, I promise.
