AN: Lynn's life is hanging by a thread. Will someone save her in time?

Chapter Thirteen: Brotherly Love

Lynn sat tied to a chair blindfolded in a dank, dark basement. She was in pain from having some blood drained out of her arm, and her head hurts from crying and being smacked around by these goons. Why? Why was this happening to her? She was after all just an innocent girl trying to find her brother. She sat there pondering those questions, until she heard someone coming down the steps.

"Greetings, lovely." Helsing whispered to her. "How have you been feeling?"

"Lousy." Lynn choked out.

"Well, once your brother brings us the sword, you will be free. If he doesn't, well..." Merlin trailed off.

"This is how you two get your kicks, huh?" Lynn spatted at the two. "You enjoy abducting young girls?"

Needless to say, Merlin and Helsing weren't amused by her certain serge of attitude. The next thing that she knew, Lynn was punched right across the face. She felt her face swell up, and a small trickle of blood go down her face.

"Maybe that will teach you to talk back." Helsing snarled. Helsing looked at Merlin and said, "Let's go." Lynn sat still and heard the two of them leave and walk up the stairs. She also heard faint instructions coming from the top of the stairs. Helsing whispered something to someone, and Lynn heard them leave. She heard someone else come down the stairs, and stand right in front of her.

"What's up?" One voice said.

"Helsing said to watch the girl." The other voice said. "

"Hey want to have some fun with her?" The first voice chuckled.

"You read my mind." The other voice said. Lynn felt a hand touch her chest. She flinched, trying to get away, but to no avail. Just when all hope was lost...

CRASH.

All three jumped at the sound.

"Go see what that was!" One of the voices shouted. Lynn heard a set of feet run up the steps. There was a loud roar, and Lynn heard the one goon plead for his life, and a loud scream, and then it was utter silence. A set of footsteps came down the steps.

"No." The one voice said. "It can't be. You died at the Dark Tournament!"

"I'm well alive." The familiar voice said. "Now for hurting my sister, the punishment is death." Lynn heard something swing, and a body hitting the floor, gurgling. The footsteps moved towards her, and Lynn felt a blade cut the rope binding her hands. She removed the blindfold and saw her hero.

"David." Lynn gasped.

"Hey, sis." David said softly. Lynn smiled before fainting into his arms.

"Let's get you to a hospital." David said, carrying her out of the basement and to a car.

Louis sat in the SVU squad room with the Russos sitting there calmly. Villo came rushing up to Louis, looking excited.

"What's up?" Louis asked Villo.

"He got her. David saved Lynn, and she's in the hospital right now!" Villo said.

"He did!?" Louis said jumping up. "Let's go!" Louis said. He and Villo ran out of the squad room, rushing to see Lynn, and quite possibly, confront David.
