"You'll have to smash it." She whispered. She went for a docile persona, hoping to calm them.
The man stamped down on it several times and finally it crushed. Jules closed her eyes, then she felt a sharp sting in her thigh, she gasped and looked down and saw that the woman had stabbed her with a syringe, things started to swirl and darkness lined her vision, and there was nothing she could do as the darkness consumed her, and she slipped to the ground and was swept up by the man, and all she could do was succumb to the nightmares of what was possibly about to happen to her and her baby.

The Hospital
"Do we go after them?" Wordy asked, quickly, eyeing the car speeding out of the hospital grounds.
"No." Ed said, "If we stress them, they could act on a whim. We can't risk Jules or their baby."
"She was with Sam." Sarge said, and the team tensed for a moment before heading into the hospital, they needed to know what exactly was going on before they acted. They moved quickly,
"Sam Braddock. Where's his room?" Ed ordered the secretary.
She rose, "You won't be able to see him now. He was overdosed with Rohypnol. CCTVs caught it on film."
Spike opened his mouth to ask, but the nurse caught his intentions quickly,
"Julianna tipped them off, he's in ICU now. His airway was under some altercations, but he's been given a diluent. In about an hour you may see him, but you must not stress him out too badly with the questions. His heart may be weak, we aren't sure how is body will react. Right now, it's slow and careful. As soon as the Rohypnol has cleared his system, he'll be somewhat weak, but he'll be in recovery."
Sarge nodded, "Thank you. Please, let us know as soon as we can see him."
The nurse nodded.
Wordy left for a moment, and spoke into the phone, when he came back he informed them that the command truck was on the way.
"The tracker had an ear bug on it?" Spike asked looking to Ed.
He nodded."
"Hopefully. If she got it." Wordy said.
They looked to Sarge, "Let me try first." He said, they left the waiting room for a moment,
"Jules? Jules are you there?"
They heard voices thought, a male and a female's,
"Fucking hell. Sandy, they're tracking us."-The male.
"Do they turn off?" –The female.
Jules didn't reply, at least not out loud,
"You try anything you little bitch, and I'll kill you."
They heard Jules clearly this time, and a feeling of relief passed through the team as they realized she had indeed gotten the ear bug and had managed to get it in her ear without the subjects noticing.
"You'll have to smash it." They heard Jules whisper.
There was a crushing noise.
Then they heard a surprised gasp,
"Jules, Jules can you hear us? We're coming soon. We'll get you." Sarge said. He closed his eyes, and whispered ignoring his judgment, "I promise."

The hour passed achingly slow, but when they doctor entered and summoned them they followed eagerly into Sam's room.
"We had some troubles." The doctor said outside the room, "He's distressed. Anxious."
Wordy nodded, "Understandable."
They walked into the room to find Sam standing, he was in full gear. The doctor's must have left his things in the room.
That was mistake. Sarge thought resignedly.
He looked to the doctor, and the doctor ran his hand through his hair,
"You won't be staying will you?" He asked Sam. Sam shook his head.
"Definitely not. Not while they're in danger."
The doctor nodded, this time he spoke to Sarge giving him strict instructions on Sam. Then when Sam wasn't looking he gave him a syringe that would speed Sam's heart in case the side effects seized him again and he began to show signs of succumbing into unconsciousness or even worse…symptoms of comatose.
Jules
She woke, and her vision swirled, her brain pounding against the inside of her skull and she groaned.
She tried to move and took in that her hands were handcuffed behind her, her mouth taped. She remembered hearing Sarge's voice slightly, and had heard the last end of his statement,
"We'll get you. I promise."
She took a deep breath.
Sadie.
She focused, she couldn't speak to Sadie, but she wanted, no she needed to know that Sadie was alright. She begged hoped with all her heart, and finally she felt the tell-tale shift in her swollen belly, which brought tears to her eyes. Thank God.
She struggled and managed to focus on the handcuffs through the fuzz in her head,
Her right handcuff was somewhat loose.
She squirmed, and groaned in pain slightly as she forced her hand to shift to the fit of the cuff.
"Jules?!" She heard a frantic Sarge in her ear.
She struggled until her wrist slipped out. She sighed in relief, happy that she hadn't dislocated any bones.
She used her renewed freedom and forced herself into a sitting position.
She yanked the tape away from her mouth.
"Sarge." She choked quietly, her throat dry.
"Jules." Sam sighed,
"Sam…Sam, is he alright?" Jules asked gently,
There was a pause,
"I'm alright baby, but are you?"
His voice sounded different, but she couldn't worry about that now,
"Sadie and I are alright…for now." She whispered.
"Do you have any idea where they've taken you?" He asked softly.
She heard footsteps outside the door, and she moved quickly, lying back, on her arms.
"I can't speak anymore, they're here. I will when I can."
The team heard a banging noise,
"I figured you'd be awake by now." They heard a burly voice.
Sam's left hand tightened into a white knuckled fist as the conversation continued. There seemed to be about 3 male voices in the background. There was no sound of the woman.
The man that had spoken earlier seemed to be the dominant. "I thought I heard her talking, she got the goddamn duct tape off."
The team heard the noise of duct tape being ripped from the roll,
"Now shut up, and leave it on, or I'll wrap it around your head you little bitch." The man snarled.
"Why are you doing this?" Jules asked calmly,
"I said shut up." He growled, and they heard Jules's protest as they re-taped her mouth…
