Chapter 12
It was dark, cold, damp and uncomfortable. That was all she knew about her present location. She was sitting on a cement floor chained to a wall, she didn't even know the size of the room, there was absolutely no light anywhere, she couldn't see a thing.
Janet's mental list of exactly how in trouble she was did nothing to make her feel any better. The last thing she remembered before she woke up here was Daniel running upstairs to get his phone he'd left up there. She'd gone into the kitchen to decide what she wanted to eat and then someone had grabbed her from behind and shoved a cloth over her face and despite her struggling she must have lost consciousness.
She heard the sound of a door opening but still couldn't see anything. The footsteps approaching her told her there was someone else in the room and she was willing to bet on who it was.
"Hello Janet" An unfamiliar male voice asked.
"Hello McAdams" she said flatly.
"I see you've heard about me"
"Nope, not a thing" Janet told him and she heard him smirk.
"Do you want to know why I took you?"
"You lost Sam?"
"I see you have faith in your friend's abilities, she and her boyfriend evaded me and now I've chosen you as my new target. Don't worry though I have every intention of finishing of dear Samantha"
"She prefers Sam. If you do happen to catch I recommend you don't call her Samantha she might kill you instead. On second thoughts go right ahead and call her that"
She couldn't see him but she knew he'd knelt down in front of her, and then she felt his breath on her face and knew he must be only inches away, the thought made her skin crawl "Women like you and Sam are a menace"
He smacked her hard across the face as if to warn her that her mouth would get her in trouble if she didn't keep it shut. She heard him get up and walk away, followed by the sound she hoped was him leaving the room.

The police at Janet's house seemed to recognise them and once they had given their names they were escorted inside. Daniel was sat with Teal'c, both of them looking very solemn.
They nodded to the police who had escorted them in and walked over to their friends "Any news?"
Daniel looked at them both "Nothing, it's good to see you both"
"Just wish we could have come back under better circumstances" Sam said sadly.
"Yeah like McAdam's death" Jack offered.
"That will soon be the case" Teal'c stated and they could all hear the anger and danger in his calm tone.
"Does Cassie know?" Sam asked.
"Yeah I called her, it took some convincing but she's going to stay where she is for now"
"She's a smart kid, she knows what's best" Jack said.
"One of the neighbours spotted a car down the road, it was dark but they said they were pretty sure they saw a man fitting McAdams description get into it. They said he threw something in the trunk, they don't know what it was but they said it's possible it was a person. We got a license plate number and we're searching for the car now"
"He probably just dumped the car somewhere" Jack said.
"Maybe but we can try, we're also searching security footage form all security camera's in the area that contain footage of the roads. If we're lucky we may be able to get a hit off that and at least know which direction they went"
"It's a long shot" Daniel stated.
"If he sticks to his usual game plan…"
"Which he obviously isn't" Jack said cutting off the FBI agent.
"He may leave us a clue as to her where he's keeping her; I think he will more than likely do so in this case"
"What kind of a clue?"
"It's differs, sometimes it's a note with a riddle on and other times it's a sample of something unique to a certain location"
"Let's hope he sticks to the usual game plan then"

As he had been hoping she had come back and he would soon have her as well as the brunette. Janet Frasier was definitely one of the strongest women he had capture, probably the strongest so far. She seemed to have an almost unbreakable spirit despite the fact that she had gone almost 48 hours without food or water. He would give her a glass of water when he returned to ensure she didn't die, it wasn't time to kill her yet.
He watched the house silently and waited for the right moment to strike. It was proving difficult, her boyfriend never left her side and the other two men were never far away either. They had known it was a trap, known he was trying to lure her back but she had come anyway .It was that spirit, that strength that he had sensed that day in the park that had made him target her in the first place. The same strength that Janet Frasier possessed, and the same strength his other victims had possessed.
It was beginning to get dark and he knew he would not take her today and he had other matters to attend to. Like mentally torturing his current prisoner.

The lack of food and water were making her weak, she could feel her strength leaving her with every passing minute but she would not show it. She would not let him see that he was winning. She was cold, hungry, thirsty and tired, the ache in her arms from being chained above her head had turned into a stabbing pain and the rest of her body ached from holding this position on the floor for two days. At least she thought it was two days, in actual fact she had no idea how long she had been in there.
The others would no they were missing by now and they'd be looking for her, she just had to wait, hold out until they rescued her. She once again heard the door open and knew he had entered.
"How are we feeling today Janet?"
"Never better"
"Drink this" he said as he held a glass to her mouth, the cold water entered her throat before she even had chance to register it was there and she automatically swallowed. "I thought you might like to know your friends came back to find you" he said as put the glass down.
"You're lying" she never knew whether he was telling her the truth or lying to her.
"No I'm not, I went to check on how things were going at your house and they were there, they must have arrived yesterday morning after we left. I'm sure they knew it was a trap it was stupid of them to come back"
"You didn't do anything to them" she stated.
"Didn't I?"
"You want Sam alive" she stated but there was doubt creeping into the back of her mind, he had already broken from his usual plan by taking her.
"Your boyfriend was something of a nuisance himself, not that he'll be a problem anymore"
Janet's head snapped up in the direction of his voice "No I don't believe you"
"He was so desperate to find you and I couldn't have him actually succeed now could I?" Janet shook her head trying to block out his voice. "He may have actually broken my winning streak but I guess that's not of concern anymore"
She refused to believe him, refused to accept that he had killed Daniel but she couldn't shake the doubt that was still creeping into her mind.
"The big guy was a problem too, I knew I'd never have been able to take him out if he knew I was there so I shot him from a distance before I even revealed myself to the other three and Sam's boyfriend was dead before he could open that annoying mouth of his"
Janet closed her eyes, they weren't dead they couldn't be not because of her. They had been looking for her and Jack and Sam had only come back because shed been taken. If they were all dead, it was her fault. The doubt in her mind wouldn't go away, maybe he had killed them all, maybe all her friends were dead.

Three days and they were no closer to finding her now than they had been before. She sat in the back garden and stared at the stars above her, she would much rather be facing down a Goa'uld army than going through this. As every day slipped by the chances of finding Janet alive got smaller and smaller. There were still a lot of police around and the two FBI agents were there every day.
She was surprised when she realised McAdams was standing at the end of the garden watching her and no one else had noticed. She silently got up and walked towards him but stopped some distance away so she could get away if she needed to. If he was showing himself to her it meant he had something to say and she was damn well gonna hear it.
"Hello Sam"
"What do you want?"
"I'm here to give you what you want, if I happen to get what I want in the process then so much the better" he told her with a cruel smile.
"I'm listening"
"Janet is alive for now but if you ever want to see her again you'll come with me now, if you don't then I'll return to her and kill her right now and don't bother calling for help, I'll be gone for you can even finish shouting."
Sam regarded him warily for a moment "How do I know you're telling the truth, how do I know she's alive?"
"You don't but are you really willing to risk her life"
"I'll come"
"Good girl" he said coldly as he threw the brick he had in his hand into the garden and gestured for her to walk ahead of him as he pulled out his gun. They walked down the street to where there was a parked car, different to the one the neighbour had seen. He told her to get in the boot and she did as she was told. He closed the boot, leaving her in complete darkness before she heard the car door open and close and then the engine start. She knew this was a bad idea but it was the only chance she had of saving Janet and she wasn't going to let it pass.
