Chap 5 : A Rude Awakening
Brennan woke up with a splitting headache. She found herself on a bed in a sitting position. She tried to move her arms and legs and found that they were held to the bed with restraints, she was no longer gagged. She was still wearing the tank top and slacks when the men took limbs still felt very heavy, the effects of the drugs have not fully worn off yet.
Please let this be a bad dream…
Brennan pulled and twisted on the restraints which circled around her wrists. She had some freedom to move her limbs, the other end of the restraints were fastened firmly to the bed.
Murder, rape, torture were the first few words which flashed in her head. Am I going to die here? What condition will I be in when my team finds me?
No time to panic now, Temperance, you are a calm, rational, crime busting forensic anthropologist.
"Hey pretty lady doctor, you are awake."
Brennan's skin crawled upon hearing the voice and saw a familiar man walking towards her bed. Nose.
"Such a shame that we don't get to have any fun before your mate arrives." the man leered at Brennan and ran a finger down her cheek.
"HANDS OFF YOU CREEP!" Brennan snapped and spat at Nose while struggling fiercely against her bonds.
"DAMN!" Nose raised his hand, Brennan shut her eyes, bracing herself. Growing up as a foster kid, she knew the drill.
"Jay,get the hell outta here, we need to grab the mate now."
Brennan opened her eyes and realized that Hulk had seized Jay, a.k.a Nose's raised hand, preventing him from hitting her.
Jay sulked as he turned to leave the room muttering something unintelligible under his breath.
"Thanks."
"What for?" Hulk replied matter of factly and started to walk towards the door.
"Nevermind… wait… don't go…what do I do if I need to...relieve myself?"
"See that red button on the right panel on the bed? Just press it, someone will attend to you."
"Okay, before you go, why am I here?"
Hulk sighed and glanced at his watch. "Look Dr. Brennan, you are part of a group which we call the Elites, you were hand chosen by our boss. The concept he has is exactly like Noah's ark. I'm sure you are familiar with that story."
"You can't keep me here, my friends will be looking for me."
"By the time they find out where you are, you will have already embarked on your voyage, rest assured, your needs will be taken care of. Your expertise will be preserved for the good of humanity.
I really have to go now. See you again."
Hulk quickly left the room. Leaving Brennan alone to digest the information given.
Noah's ark. Even though Brennan didn't believe in religion she had read the book before and knew the story. Old man heard God telling him to build a boat. He saved two animals of each kind male and female, to ensure the continuity of the species while the world was wiped out with a catastrophic flood.
My mate? A male version of me with the same expertise? Voyage?
A wave of despair engulfed her, she didn't know what were their real intentions of kidnapping her but it dawned upon her that her abductors never intended to release her.
I just spent my last Christmas with my family after so many years Max, Russ. Is it going to be my last Christmas celebration ever?
Tears streamed down her face as she remembered Booth and Parker standing with the Christmas tree. Booth's voice rang in her head about his experience of being a prisoner of war. Be a survivor, they can capture your body, but never let them capture your hope.
