Chapter 2: Hour 2
"So, what we are supposed to believe you just found her like this, when you were the only one with her" Vaughn says. "Well now we need bigger groups, Tom you will be handcuffed to our general meeting area. I see it is fit that since only with Rachel gone and Tom handcuffed we can form one group to go say Dixon, Me, and Nadia, will search and Vaughn, Sloane and Sydney, sit this one out and gaurd Tom." Jack says. "Sounds reasonable" says Sloane. "Is anyone, just y'know, freaked about this death, I mean I think we should like all stay together." Marshall says panicking. "The mail room was a good idea, it was openings for mail, but the openings are locked, titanium." Sloane says. "You three take Sloane back, and Marshall, I want you actually to acess the computer by our headquarters, you will be in sight and maybe get us a way out of here." Jack says.
They do just that, Tom is handcuffed, and Nadia, Jack and Dixon head off to search. They fade into complete darkness, no lights. They use sound to find each other. "Keep walking and find a way to a lit room." Jack says. They conitnue on, scrambling around the room. Back at the meeting spot, they all watch Tom, he was the one to blame right now, but nobody could be sure. Marshall, kept distracting them, he was crawling underneath the laptop, fumbling with cords, always banging his head to see if it worked or, the poor guy would shock himself. The banging he was making got annoying, but they would have to adapt. "Can you guys come with me to "watch" me when I get a drink of water and refill these bottles?" Vaughn asks. "Tom's cuffs are pretty secure, let's all go, but be quick, we shouldn't abandon our posts." Sloane says. They all get up and leave.
You see them gather water. They hear a BANG!!, most likley a gunshot. They run back only to see Tom, standing up with his handcuffs shot throught the chain. And Marshall is on the floor, blood around him. They get to his body and see blood spewing out of his head. There is his keyboard next to him, broken and covered with blood, he was smashed in the head with it. So hard the keboard snapped and all the keys scrambled on the floor. Jack, Nadia and Dixon, come running out of the darkness. "We heard a shot. What happend?" Nadia asks. "Marshall was killed. And Tom is out of his cuffs, but I don't see a gun." Sydney says. "Jack, looks at Marshall, and up at Tom, he marches a straight line, you could tell his anger, he knees Tom in the gut, and grabs his head. Then he begins puching him in the face and throwing him on the ground. Either he was really pissed, or covering up really well. "Where is the gun?!" Jack says, picking up Tom's body. His eyes gaze intensly into his eyes. "I was framed, I swear!" Tom says.
"After I saw the shadowy figure kill Marshall, they held up a gun, aimed and shot the cuff's chain dead on." he says. "How gullible do you belive I am? That story sound ridiculous!" Jack snarles. "Jack calm down, now first off all s everyone accounted for? Wait, where is Agent Weiss?" he says. Weiss, comes out of the shadows, "Hey guys, I was attacked earlier, I was the last to leave the mail room and was hit, knocked out cold." he says. "I'm sorry Weiss, but how in the hell do you expect us to believe that?" Sloane says. "Yeah, you were the only person with, no alliby and totally unaccounted for." Nadia says. "Guys, please, I wouldn't do this. Please believe me!" Weiss pleads. Everyone turns away, but Jack he hits Weiss, point blank, knocking him out. "We have to get these two restrained." he syas, dragging Weiss closer to the group.
"AHHHH!" Tom screams, as Jack dislocates another bone in his arm. "Where's the gun Tom?" Jack asks, that was about the fifth time Jack had asked him. Sloane could tell Jack was only getting started, but oddly enough Sloane believed Jack was innocent, he would do anything to keep Sydney away from harm, but what if he and Sydney were in on it together, Sloane's eyes widen, it would make sense if there were two killers. No. All this intensity and death was making him a little too paranoid. After a while Jack takes a break. "We shouldn't split up for a while, in the mean time, I think we should go over exactly, who was with who when the shot was fired." he says. "Me, Vaughn and your daughter were getting water and we all saw each other, so we are out." Sloane says. "Yes and Dixon, Jack and me were all together as well." Nadia adds. Dixon remains silent, with the same expressionless face and wide eyed stare on his face. "So Weiss and Tom, it was one of you, and after I'm done with you Tom, Weiss your next." Jack says.
Weiss was tied, extremley tight, With rope and wire. There was no need to tie Tom, he was a mangled mess, so many fractured bones he couldn't move if he tried. Nobody seemed concerned with how far Jack was going with the torutre. He could be saving their lives by torturing the killers, or he could be the killer himself, throwing eerybody off. Weiss was sweating a river, just so worried that Jack would finish Tom soon. He knocks Tom out. "Guys come on, it wasn't me I swear." Weiss shouts. "I'm sorry, Eric." Jack says, dislocating his shoulder. Weiss howls in pain. Sydney looks away, these were her friends, her partners. She couldn't bear it, first Rachel, and then Marshall, and now this mess. She hugs Vaughn. She doesn't care if there was a killer, she stayed true to him, either a mistake that could cost her, her life or opening up and relieving stress and tursting her heart, not her thoughts of paranoia, or her trust barrier around her mind, but for once she trusts her heart.
Once she does that, Jack knows it was enough, he punches Weiss out. They all sit down. Vaughn and Sydney cuddling each other, Weiss ties and unconsious, Tom, gasping for breath in a mess on the floor. Nadia moves to a spot near Sloane, just being next to family comforts her. Jack is alone, examining every perosn in there, planning what to do next. Dixon is still alone, his eyes fixed on Tom and Weiss, he bgins to laugh. Everybody looks at him. Jack gets up and heads towards him, they have a new problem to deal with now. They all knew what Jack was going to do, he was going to attack him, Jack has been a new concern with his violent outbursts. Everybody worries as they finsih hour 2 and head into hour 3.
