23 Hours Missing
FBI: Missing Person's Head Quarters: Bull Pen
The agents had about ten minutes to get ready when the tv flickered and the man came onto the screen. "Hello, agents," he said and they looked up at him. "I hope you studied for your exam."
"They did," Jack said, as Danny, grabbed Eric's arm and yanked him out of the view of the camera. "But we're not all that happy with you for breaking your part of your pact. You took Jessica. Why?"
"And you took Eric," the man said, as he stared back at Jack. "What? You think I don't know that he's there with you now. I'm not worried that you have one part of the twin puzzle. I'm actually glad that you have at least one twin to help you with the exam. Because if you fail, Jessica gets harmed."
Danny struggled to hold onto Eric and Martin moved over to help him. "If we pass this exam, you will not harm her?" Jack asked, as he shot Sam a glance to see that she was moving over to help Danny and Martin. "Or can we really trust you after that stunt you pulled earlier?"
"Oh, you can trust me."
"I really have a hard time believing that."
"I'm touch, Agent Malone." That got Sam to freeze and look at the tv. "Yes, I know who you all are. Seems we all have a common friend. But there is no way I'm not going to tell who that is. I'll be back in five minutes to start the exam." Then he was gone.
"Let go of me," Eric said, as he fought Danny and Martin, causing Jack and Sam to look over at him. "I really don't want to hurt you guys."
"Don't make us have to handcuff you to a chair," Danny said, as he and Martin gently shoved him down into a chair. "Now, easy Eric. You have to let us do our job. We deal with guys like that a lot more often than you do."
"But she's my sister, my twin," Eric started, as he quickly looked down at his hands. Exhaustion was getting the best of him, as was the stress of the kidnaping. "If anything happened to her, I don't know what I would do."
"Eric, it's going to be okay," Sam said to him, as she moved up next to him, and placed a hand on his arm. "You're our best chance at getting her back. You're going to help us get a good score on this exam. You know your twin the best."
"Yeah, let's hope that's enough," he said, as he looked up at her. "Because I'm sure that there are some things that she kept from me. Some secrets of her own."
Danny let out a small groan, and they turned to look up at him. "Not more secrets." Eric then smiled. "Okay, man. We saved your butt. Tell us, what was your big secret." He shook his head. "Not going to tell us until we get your twin back." Eric nodded. "Good enough for me." The tv flickered on and the man was back. "Okay, evil's back. Let's do this."
Unknown Location
Jessica fought the man who had dragged her into the dark room and tied her to the chair in front of yet another camera. "What is with you and cameras?" she asked, as she looked at the man. "Is it a fetish?" He let out a growl, as he came up to her and slapped her hard on the face and her head snapped back hard. "Okay, guess not. You just like them."
"Do you ever shut up?" the man asked, as he turned to face Jessica with fire in his eyes, and she bit down on her bottom lip to stop herself from saying something smart. "Good, because, we're going to play a game of 10 questions with the F.B.I. If they miss a question, you get tortured. Sound fun?" Jessica shook her head no. "I thought you would say that, but you don't get a say in it." He then turned towards the camera. "Let's us begin."

"Let us begin," the man said, causing the agents to turn to look at the tv. "I'll make the rules easy. You gets answers right, Jessica doesn't get hurt. Get it wrong, she gets hurt. Only five questions is all for this exam."
"This exam?" Danny asked, as he looked over at the man. "There's more than one?"
"Yes, there will be more than one, until we get the money."
"You never said that there would be more than one."
The man let out a growl as he moved the camera to the left of him and they all froze when they saw Jessica. She looked terrified. "There will be more, Agent Taylor. Or do you just want me to slice her throat now, because I don't have any remorse, and I will do it."
Martin and Sam grabbed onto Eric's arms and held him down in his chair, as Jack went up behind Danny and placed a hand on Danny's shoulder. "We'll play by your rules and do how many exams that you'll have us do. But you do have to understand that we do need some sleep."
"I understand. They'll be in hour time frames. Enough time for your agents to sleep, eat, and do some other things. Shall be begin the first exam or do you need more time."
"No, we don't need more time," Jack said, as he looked over at the others."
"Good, then we shall begin. Question number 1: When where they born?"
"December 4, 1989," Sam answered, as she released her grip on Eric, and he looked up at her.
"Very good. "Question 2. "Who was first?'
All the agents eyes went to Eric, who pointed to himself. "That would be Eric," Danny said, as he turned towards the tv.
"Correct. Lucky guess on your behalf. Question 4. What happened to their birth mother?"
"She lives in Rhode Island," Vivian said, as she came up to them with a folder. "She married and had some more kids."
"Correct. Question 5. When did Jessica sprain her wrist?"
"She didn't," Eric said, as he looked at the agents. "She never has broken or sprained anything."
"That's incorrect. She recently did." The man then turned and zapped Jessica with a stun stick. They could hear her cry out in pain.
"You bastard," Eric cried out, as he lunged forward. Danny and Martin grabbed onto him and forced him back into his chair. "You sprained her wrist when you took her. That's how I didn't know about it."
"You're right about that. Well that raps up the end of our little exam. You did well, Agent. Four out of the five right. There'll be another exam in an hour, I suggest you all rest before then." Then the tv flickered and he was gone.
"Bastard," Eric said, as he fought to get free from Danny and Martin's grip on him. "Let me go."
"Not until you settle down," Danny said, as he shot a glance over at Jack and Vivian. "Any ideas?"
"We may need to study some more," Jack said, as he looked at the others. "You guys need to get some rest, get some food into you, before the next exam. We need to figure out who he is. He's asking personal questions. Martin, Sam, maybe it's time for you guys to go see Mrs. Clarkson and see who might be a threat to her. See if that's a lead somehow."
"Okay," Sam said, as she headed for the elevator, only to turn to see Danny and Martin still struggling to hold Eric to the chair. "What about Eric?"
"I have an idea," Martin said, as he pulled out a set of handcuffs and handcuffed him to the chair. "Sorry, kid, but this way, you don't do something stupid." He then followed Sam to the elevator. "We'll call you when we get there."
"Be careful," Jack called out to them."
"We will." Then they were off.
