Chapter 2
Kate hopped across the room to Sawyer. She couldn't understand why this guy loves to get beaten up. Does he have a death-wish? She has lost count of the number of times seeing him being hurt, covered in blood, nearly dying. It hurts her to see him like this.
Sawyer looked up to see Kate looking at him. "Hell, she is actually concerned about me" he thought happily. He tried to sit up but the bounded hands and feet were making it difficult. However he managed it finally and gave Kate a grin which he hoped was encouraging. He could taste his blood at the corner of his mouth, probably from the head wound which that son-of-a-bitch had kicked him earlier.
Someone opened the door. It was a middle-aged woman. She put something on the small table and walked over to Jack to remove his gag. Then she removed Kate's followed by Sawyer's.
"Geesh, thanks, I was thinking I have to walk around with this piece of foul-tasting cloth stuck in my mouth forever!" Sawyer said. The woman ignored him. She walked to the table and brought a box over, on which there were a few Apollo bars.
"Hell, how are we going to eat with our hands tied behind us?" Sawyer asked. The woman acted like she never hear a thing and just left the room, locking the door from the outside.
Sawyer looked at Kate and Jack. "Do you think she is deaf?" he asked. Kate sighed. Only he will think of such a question in this kind of situation.
"I guess we have to feed each other" Kate said. She hopped over the box, turned her back and picked up a bar using her hands behind her back. After unwrapping it with much difficulty, she asked "Who first?"
"Me of course, Freckles!" smirked Sawyer. He hopped over to her, but instead of bringing his mouth to the chocolate on her hands, he turned his back and removed the bar from her using the hands behind his back.
"Turn around, Freckles, at least I get to feed the lady." Kate smiled. She did as she was told and used her mouth to bite the bar off his hands. It wasn't very tidy but at least it satisfied some of her hunger.
The three of them took turns feeding each other the same way until all the bars in the box disappeared. Soon they began to doze off, sleeping on the hard concrete.
It was hours later when Sawyer woke. He couldn't tell whether it was day or night as there were no window in the room. His shoulders were aching from the awkward position of sleeping on the floor with his hands tied behind him. And his head ached from the kick he got from that man the day before. He struggled to sit up and saw that Kate was awake too. "How's your head?" she asked, sitting up as well.
Jack heard their voices and sat up too. "It looks pretty bad, you should know when to keep your mouth shut" he said.
"Hey doc, for your information, I was gagged when he kicked me! My mouth ain't opened!" Sawyer replied. Jack just shook his head. "Any dizziness? Nauseous?"
"Nay, but if they don't give me any more stuff other than those tiny Apollo bars soon, I think I am going to faint from hunger." Sawyer said, flashing his dimples.
The door was suddenly flung opened. Henry walked in together with two other men behind him. "Good morning ! We have great news for you… From your blood samples, we found a good match from among the three of you. Now we can begin the real tests" he announced, smiling sinisterly.
