Authors Note: Well I am back, with a fresh long chapter for all of you aren't you all excited? I know I am. I have had an eventual two days OO. I was chased by a mummy at Universal Studios and my cell phone was broken when a rude person bumped into me as I was walking on the phone at City walk and made me drop it. grumbles ANYWAY. Here is chapter 8. I like it. I hope you like it.

Also in chapter 7, the child was what made Lisa change her mind quickly, I know it seemed sudden but let's just say she sensed something was going on. It's her job to read people…

A Painful Passion

Ch.8

It had been 4 months since Cassia was taken. And in the month she had been beaten, raped, used, all of the above. Her mind and body were both exhausted

"Should we just leave her here?"

"Yeah, I'm finished, Dad said he wanted here in here when he got back, needed something to help him 'relax'"

Cassia awoke to two voices.

"Hey, HEY, she is waking up"

"Well hello there little missy, nice to see you finally joining us, we didn't expect to give you so much sedative, but it did the trick"

Cassia groaned and tried to rub her head but opened her eyes suddenly to see she was tied up to a bed. She tried to wrestle her arms out of it but it was no use. She looked up and saw Richard and another man standing there buckling up there pants. She turned her head away and could not bear to look at them. The pain in between her legs told her what they had done.

They have done it…from the week she was taken till now. She couldn't bear to look at herself when she was made to shower, she couldn't stand what had become of her. She was dirty, how would she be able to face Jackson…

"Now Cassia, father will be here soon, and he expects you to be up to par for your session, we all know how much you enjoy them" Richard winked. He untied her from the bed, she couldn't go anywhere so there was no use to have her bound, and Richard only did that when he took advantage of her because she would fight him. She wouldn't fight Ricardo…namely because when he did it, he held a knife to her throat or would sedate her.

Richard and his lackey left the room and she sat by the window, she thought about Jackson. He was coming for her…that was why they kept moving form place to place, it was his job to track people, and he was catching on Munoz tail quickly. She knew it was only a matter of time before this SOB got what he had coming. Same thing for his son.

But on the other hand…she wished Jackson would just give up…she wasn't worth all this trouble…she was tainted now, brainwashed into believe she truly did belong to Ricardo…he had so much power. She couldn't fight him…not anymore…

The door opened behind her. She turned around and then turned back to the window and sighed.

"Hi Honey…Miss me"

Cassia wiped a tear from her face and let the curtain down, Ricardo closing in on her as she did. In the back of her mind she wished of two things…death…and Jackson.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Are we almost there?"

"Yeah …just a couple of more miles and we will be position. He is hiding out in a mansion right outside of the city. Reports say that your girl is there with them"

"Thanks Max, keep driving I will get set up"

"No problem Jack-o"

Jackson smirked and sat in the back of the vehicle as it continued to move, he put on a holster and got out to 2 9mm Glocks and put them on either side underneath his arm. When the car came to a stop he got out of the back and was joined by Max. They went to the back of the SUV and opened it up. Grabbing a Viper Pistol Jackson smiled and put it on the holster of his suit pants. Max took a desert eagle and put it on his.

Shutting the trunk, Max picked up his radio.

"We are about to move into position, I need men on both sides, and on the roof, remember we have a hostage in there and she is NOT to be harmed. Got that!"

Max got the clear and nodded to Jackson, they began their decent to the House, and it was now or never.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Sure we have a problem" one of Ricardo's men said behind the door knocking. Ricardo groaned and put on his robe, whispering a don't move to Cassia.

He walked out of the room and down the hall to his operation area.

"What is it?"

"Look"

Ricardo looked at the television; it showed cameras going out all over the mansion. Ricardo's eyes went cold; he picked up the phone and punched some numbers in.

"Get your men ready, it seems we have a visitor"

Ricardo rushed out of the room and back to his; he kicked it open and screamed for Cassia to get dressed. Then he left. Cassia put on her clothes and as soon as she was done Ricardo locked her in the room. Placing two guards, to watch a very confused Cassia.

She sat on the bed and stared at her hand, she moved her fingers, semi closing her hand each time. Just staring at them…she began to just give them a death glare, she was going insane. Breathing in and out she sat up suddenly and ran to the bathroom.

Opening up the cupboard she began to search, not knowing or caring, she just searches. For anything, anything that she could get her hands on. Giving a frustrated yell she opens the shower curtain and spots something. Taking off the shower head she pulled with all her might and ripped it from the wall. Taking the head of it off, she was left with a pretty good metal pipe. She smiled and then walked out of the bathroom and then hid behind the door, waiting.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jackson and Max smiled; they had gotten into the House without any problems. Not that they couldn't handle themselves.

Walking down the hallway they came across 2 men positioned in front of a control room. Jackson smirked and put up a hand signaling for Max to wait for his position. Jackson put one gun behind his back and then walked out of the hidden hallway. The two men began to reach for their guns, but Jackson put up a hand.

"Woah Woah…don't you guys know who I am?"

"Should we?"

Jackson shrugged.

"No, not really"

The guards didn't even have time to react, Jackson had his gun out so fast and the bullets in their heads they didn't even make a squeak as they slumped to the ground. Jackson nodded to Max to come out.

They walked into the control room and Max shot out of man who was positioned there. Sitting down in the chair Max began to punch in numbers and codes on the computers.

"I need to find out where Ricardo is hiding the information for the content of those containers we have been chasing, without that we can't get him for anything other then kidnapping if we get out of this. And that won't keep him away for long. But if I get the information that I need…." He squinted and clicked a file, 2 folders popping up, all with dates and numbers on them, Max smiled, "Here we are baby…come to Papa" The file revealed the information Max needed. Max smiled and clicked print.

"You better hurry Max, we wont be alone for long" Max frowned and turned around and saw Jackson was looking at one of the screens and about 15 men were rushing down corridors probably looking for them.

"Any idea where Cassia would be?"

"Na Jack unless…hold on"

He turned back to the computer and brought up a different file, a bunch of security cameras on rooms popped up, every room in the house had one…except for one.

"That's your best bet…I don't think Ricardo would have one in his private room, it's on the other side of the mansion"

"I'm going"

Max reached into his pocket and grabbed a small radio and placed it in Jackson's hand.

"I'm on channel 3, I am going after Munoz, now you… go get your woman, got it"

"Got it"

They went their separate ways.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cassia was ready…she had to do this; she was waiting behind the door, waiting for it to be opened. She would attack and she would kill.

The door opened and Richard walked into the room slamming the door behind him, "where is that little slut"

He looked around when a voice, and not to mention a metal rod connected to his ear, "Right here"

Richard went straight to the ground holding his ear, Cassia went to the floor and reached into his pockets and got his gun out. She stood up slowly and walked backwards, Richard growled and got up. She pointed the gun at his head.

"One more step and your brains go on daddy's floor got it!"

"Whatever slut you couldn't do it if you tried"

"Good thing I don't have to try now do I"

She gripped the gun and began to hyperventilate, pretending she couldn;t breathe. Richard rubbed the side of his head and turned away laughing, "Man we really screwed you up, didn't we" he turned back to look at her, "to bad I have to kill you, you were such a pretty one"

He lunged toward her and she stopped her breathing act, eyes going black with anger, it was like slow motion for Richard to notice the change in stance of Cassia, and he didn't even have to when she pulled the trigger. Screaming she pulled it she watched him fall to his knees, holing a hand over his chest blood dripping. Cassia walked over and put a foot on his back and pushed him down crushing his hand to his wound, she put the gun to the back of his head, and she whispered above him, "Fuck. You."

And he was gone, fresh blood running his head on the floor. She inhaled and exhaled and checked the mag. in the gun. She went back to her position behind the door; she knew no one had seen that, like Ricardo told her on the many nights of when he abused her

My sweet no one can see us…there are no cameras in this room…we have it ALL to ourselves

She waited; stuffing the gun in the back of her jeans she grabbed the pole from the floor. And about 15 min later the door opened again. A man walked in, and shut the door behind him, gun drawn already; he went to the body in the middle of the floor and rolled Richard over. He checked for a pulse and when he found none he checked for a weapon. Finding none he stood back up and that was when Cassia made her attack.

She screamed and jumped on the mans back, the man must've expected this, because after about 7 sec of her trying to choke him with the rod under his chin, he turned suddenly and flipped her over to the floor. Placing a gun on the woman's head.

Cassia growled as the man in front of her stared with eyes wide.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Cassia?" Jackson asked gun to her temple. Cassia didn't even respond, she head butted him and socked him in the stomach, Jackson knelt to her side and gasped for air, and Cassia climbed out of his arms and stood up.

"STAND UP!" She screamed taking the gun from behind her and pointing it at him. Jackson stood up slowly and held his hand out with his gun in it.

"Cassia, it's me...Jack—"

"SHUT UP! Don't even try it! You're Not Jackson!"

"What are you talking about, look at me!"

Cassia cocked the gun and stepped back, Jackson had little time to plan, and he hadn't expected this. Obviously in the past 4 months they had done something so horrible to her she wasn't even coherent of the ones she cared about. Jackson took a step forward. Cassia stood her ground, gun in place.

"Don't…I swear to god I will do it, he made that mistake" She nodded to Richard.

"Well I am sure he deserved it...now why don't you give me the gun…"

"Who the FUCK are you to tell me anything…you don't know anything"

"I know that something happened to you…and it was bad, can you put the gun down…"

"Don't…don't talk like you know what happened to me, don't talk like you even --"

Jackson took her ramble to make his move, he lunged and was able to grab her arm with the gun and twist it so she dropped it screaming, he then she tried to fight him off but he was stronger. He just stood there and she slowly dropped to her knees sobbing, holding his chest, Jackson went down to where he was kneeling and holding Cassia in his arms. He smoothed her hair, and whispered that he was here. And she just cried. She looked up at Jackson, she blinked a few times and then whispered, his heart aching at the tone of her voice…

"Jackson…" Full of pain. He cupped her face with his hands.

"It took you long enough" and he smiled, bring her lips to his he met her with a gentle kiss. Full of hope, she pulled him closer and they ended up falling to the floor. Jackson laughed and then stood up bring her, as soon as they were up on there feet Cassia jumped into her husbands arms.

"Jackson I am so sorry, I couldn't think, I couldn't I was just—"

"Shhh that doesn't matter I have you now, and you killed Richard…that just leaves Ricardo...and I am going to make him pay…he has done something to you…hasn't he"

"No. no he hasn't he just" she pushed away from him but he wouldn't let her out of his embrace.

"He raped you, didn't he…Cassie look in my eyes and tell me he didn't rape you"

She looked up and stared into his eyes, they burned into her skull, oh how she missed those eyes. She shook her head and looked down to the floor.

"You know I can't lie to you…"

She felt Jackson grow tense. Suddenly the doorknob was shot and kicked open. Cassia ran from Jackson's embrace.

"Well if it isn't Jackson, I thought I would find--" Ricardo stopped as he looked to the ground and saw the dead body of his son. Jackson smiled and pulled out his Viper pistol and pointed at Ricardo as he tied to step forward, both men had their guns drawn.

"I wouldn't take a step Ricardo, unless you want to end up like your son, I must say…my wife has been out of the field for quite awhile but she sure did a doosey on your son, don't you think"

"It's funny, I expected her to be good with a weapon, she was such a PISTOL in the sack" Jackson's eyes flared with anger, he gripped the gun tightly, "Did I say something that bothered you Mr. Rippner? Pity…I wanted my woman to watch you die..."

"Don't you DARE presume to call her that!"

"Who is going to stop me…you?"

And that was the last sentence either of them heard before a gun shot echoed throughout the room.
