Kim was suddenly quiet, she had been talking and retelling the events over the past hour, only now was it starting to catch up with her. She realised she had zoned out and shook herself to snap out of it.

"Sorry," she said embarrassed. Heller just nodded and waited for her to continue.

"So… they pulled me back into the room. It was weird, at first they were taking me away but then suddenly everything had changed. The leader said something to my dad but I couldn't hear it. He was panicking and he could barely move never mind help me. I tried to fight but it was no good so I started to struggle. Its all blurred really, I was screaming and shouting but I don't remember what I was saying. Then everything stopped. Chow ran over and slapped me… It wasn't the pain but the realisation that I wasn't safe either that really scared me… it made everything seem much worse."

"How did Jack react to this?"

"I think he was shocked at first. But before he could do anything Chow began to taunt him. Then he grabbed me and forced me onto the floor, there were men holding him back then. After he did that some soldiers held me down while Chow went back to my father, but he was angry and he tried to get at him. He was in no shape to beat the men but he managed to kick Chow in the face."

Heller signed as he rested his chin on his hand, this was getting worse and worse. And Jacks debrief was only going to be harder, he had been through a hell in its own before Kim even arrived. She had only been there hours, he had been left with those monsters for months.

Tears sprung to Kim's eyes as she continued on, wanting to get this over with. "Chow stomped down on my fathers leg, it was already a horrible mess. Bruised and broken and who knows what else. He was in more pain than you can imagine, he was screaming and then sick from the force. Chow watched and.." she shook her head, "he just laughed as though he was watching something amusing. He just didn't care."

Heller's hand was back on her own holding it tightly, he didn't like hearing this he wanted to be sick himself, but this poor girl had witnessed it with her own eyes. And what Jack had been subjected to… how could he ever recover from this?

She started up again, her voice hoarse from the effort. "He told my father to clean it up but he couldn't, he was coughing and gasping for air - he couldn't move. He started goading my father again and he was going to hit him in the leg again so I started shouting, trying to make them leave him alone."

"He ignored me and pulled my dad up and started speaking to him but it was too quiet to hear - I was still on the floor. My dad got angry and started asking Chow to leave me alone, so he was obviously trying to use me to get to my dad. I was so angry… I was so mad with myself for no seeing it coming… until it was right there I hadn't even considered them using me, it was only when it happened I realised how obvious it was."

Heller turned to gaze out of the window shielding his face from Kim's view as he closed his eyes. He was the one who helped her go, he had been blind too? How could he have let this happen?

"They pulled him up and said I was going to pay for his crimes. My dad pleaded with them and I thought they were going to give in and hurt him instead of me. I was terrified and…when they left me alone I was relieved too - I didn't want to end up like he was. I was so selfish. My father was almost beaten to death and I was relieved I couldn't help…"

She hung her head in shame but didn't stop talking, her words came out faster as she tried to recall everything - she didn't want to have to go through this again.

"The man started talking to my dad again and then they hit him with the sledgehammer."

Heller's eyes raised surprised at this and she realised she hadn't mentioned it until now.

"When they first brought me in it was sat on a chair covered in blood and stuff… they had obviously been hurting him with it. When I was on the floor the guards threatened my dad that they were going to hurt me with it… its why he was so desperate…"

"So Chow hit him again only I didn't see where, I was crying and… panicked. I was scared and I wasn't thinking right."

"Which is perfectly understandable," James cut in, patting her hand again as he saw her clench it - angry with herself.

"Everything had been so terrible," Kim started, looking off at the wall, "but then, after they hit him that second time since I got there…it was almost over. That should have been good right? But everything became much more worse."

She shook her head to herself as Heller's head shot up. Worse? What else had happened. He looked down as he fought to control himself before looking back up. Kim was watching intently, waiting for some sort of reaction. He didn't know what to do, so he nodded; he didn't trust himself to speak.
