A/N: Sorry guys, this chapters kind of short, but I'll try and make up for it in the next one! Reviews are appreciated :D (Just to let you know, if it's in italics, it usually means it is what's going on in the video - you'll see what I mean).
Chapter 2
"We can't just leave her there!" yelled Becker, making Emily cringed slightly.
Emily had been sitting awkwardly in the corner of the room, as Becker and Matt argued over her future.
She knew by the side-ways glances that Becker had been giving her that if Matt wasn't arguing with him he would quickly trade her for Jess.
Usually Jess would be the one sitting with her, comforting her, but instead Abby was sitting next to her.
"They're not cattle, Becker! We can't just trade one person for another." Matt replied.
"Well I am not letting her die!" Becker raged.
"Maybe there is some other way, ya know, with out trading anybody." Connor said, suddenly standing up and joining the conversation.
Becker and Matt both shot him cold glares.
"What exactly would that be?" Becker snapped.
"Uh, Well…" muttered Connor, before being interrupted by one of Becker's men running into the room.
"Uh, sir," he said with a slight salute, Becker nodded for him to continue, "The, uh, something's come up on the ADD."
"What do you mean, solider?"
"Uh, well, I'm not entirely sure. One of the lab technicians sent me , I think you should all take a look at it."
Becker rolled his eyes and pushed pass the nervous solider, followed by the rest of the ARC team,
Emily got up and followed them nervously. She stifled a gasp as she saw what had appeared on the ADD.
"Oh, my gosh!" was the remark that most in the room blurted out as they saw the ADD, but Becker's mouth simply went dry.
On all three screens of the ADD was a pop-up window, and in those windows it was streaming a video.
It was Ethan on the video, a smug smirk on his face. He took up the whole screen, blocking whatever was behind him.
"Hello everyone. You're probably wondering how I managed to hack into your mainstream. Well, honestly, I can't take all the credit. I had some help." Ethan said, the smirk on his face becoming bigger as someone whimpered from behind him.
"Anyway, my terms remain the same; the girl for Emily. The swap will be on my terms, and if you try anything, the girl dies." Then Ethan moved to the side, to reveal a tied up Jess lying on the floor.
Her arms had been tied behind her back, her legs were also tied together and a gag had been roughly tied around her mouth. Her usually perfect make-up was smudged and ruined, her eyeliner was running down her cheek, making it obvious that she had been crying hard.
Ethan walked over to her and gently stroked her cheek, making her flinch and let out a whimper.
'That bastard! How dare he touch her!' Thought Becker furiously. He knew that if he ever got the opportunity he would kill that smug bastard.
"Jess, sweetie," started Ethan in a fake nice voice, "Why don't you tell them how much fun we've been having."
Ethan then roughly pulled off Jess's gag, she let out a whimper but then screamed out "Don't do it! Leave me here! I'm not worth it-" but Jess was cut of by a sharp slap from Ethan. Jess was then hunched on the ground again, cupping her cheek.
Becker gritted his teeth and his hand balled up into tight fists, it took all of his will power not to punch the computer.
Ethan then went on to give the details of where he wanted the swap to take place.
"I hope you enjoyed the show." Said Ethan with a wink, the he lent forward and pressed a button, and the screen went blank.
A/N: Hope you liked it! Chapter 3 is in progress :)
