FBI: Missing Person's Head Quarters

"Jack, you have a phone call," Vivian called out to him, as he picked up the phone.

"This is Malone," he said, as he looked around for a pad of paper.

"Are you one of Marty's friends?" a soft voice called out, causing Jack to freeze.

"Yeah, I am, and who's this."

"My name is Shep. I'm a friend of Marty's too. I'm gonna try to help him out as much as I can. Don't worry, I won't kill them." Then the line went down.

"Who was that?" Vivian asked, as she came up to him.

"It was a friend of Martin's called Shep." Victor smiled as he he came up to them. "Who's Shep?"

"Jesse is Shep."

"Okay."

7:23 AM

The Cage

The three agents looked up when Patrick came into the room with his men. "Just Martin, this time," he said, as his men grabbed Martin, and locked the cage door. "This should be like old times, Martin." He then headed for the door with the men dragging Martin behind them.

"That can't be a good thing," Danny said to Sam, as they watched the outer door slam shut. "Martin's strong. I'm sure that he can deal with whatever Patrick has planned for him."

"I know, Danny," Sam said, as she turned to look at him. "But I'm scared for him."

"Yeah, me too."

Danny turned his head at the sound of a noise and they watched as Jesse slipped through a window and hit the ground gracefully. "Hello, Jess."

"Where's Marty?" she asked them, as she came up to them, with concerned look on her face.

"He's with Patrick," Sam said, as she shot a look over at Jesse. "What? You didn't know that."

"No, I didn't." A touch of anger flashed in her eyes as she slipped off her hat and gloves and stuffed them into her coat pocket. "Why would I? My father keeps me in the dark about almost everything he does."

"Then why are you still here?"

"Because he's my father. I fear him as much as I fear the wraith of God. He brought me into this world, he can take me out of it, and I don't think he would think twice about it." She then glanced a shot over at Sam. "For you, I'll go figure out what he has planned for Marty." Then she was gone.

"She's scared," Danny pointed out, as he turned to face Sam. "Of her father and of you."

"I know."

Outside

Jesse walked up softly behind her father's men towards where they were standing. She climbed up on top of the van and then up onto the roof. She then watched in horror as Patrick hit Martin with a stun gun. He went down hard. "Wrong answer, Martin," Patrick sneered. "With every wrong answer, you'll get stunned."

"Patrick, this is insane," Bubba said, as he came up to them. "He surely doesn't know the answers to the questions that you're asking."

"Shut up, Bubba." Patrick then turned back towards Martin. "Okay, Martin, this is an easy one. Do you love my daughter?"

"Yes, I love your daughter, but only like I would a sister," Martin replied.

"Good answer." He then started to walk around Martin. "Okay, where is your father?"

"I don't know." Martin then got stunned. "I haven't talked to him in a while." He got stunned again. "It's the truth."

Seeing Martin get stunned made Jesse uneasy. She quickly slid off the roof only to run into Bubba. "Hello, Bubba," she said to him, as she looked up at him. "How are you doing?"

"You were watching, weren't you?" he asked her, as he grabbed her arm and started to drag her inside. "You weren't supposed to be watching."

"And dad's not supposed to be trying to kill Marty," she snapped, as she broke free from him. "How can you allow him to do that, Bubba? You only wanted to mess with their minds, not kill them."

"Patrick is running the show now, not me."

"So their gonna die?"
