Big Brother

I opened my eyes but still couldn't see anything. All of a suddenly a light was turned on and I saw a boy sitting there beside me. I shielded my eyes from the sudden light and whimpered.

"Hey, it's alright, I'm not going to hurt you."

I looked up at him, my eyes adjusting to the brightness, "Who are you? Where am i?"

He sighed, "My name is Cameron, and you're in your father's house." My eyes went wide and darted every which way they could; trying to find I way out. "Relax I'm not going to let him hurt you. Well I'll try not to. I really don't have any control of what he does. He tells me to do something I do it." I started to have a flash back.

I saw my father standing in front of me. "Hello Zorah. You know it's very bad to lie to your father. Cameron grab her!" then I was knocked out with a chloroform rag.

I crawled back and hit the wall. "Why are you here? Why am I here?"

He looked at me, "Why are you here? Well, out of twenty-six siblings you're the only girl and that's all he ever wanted. And I'm here because out of all the twenty-six sons and mothers, we are the only ones that aren't six feet under."

I gasped, "Mike is your dad?" He nodded. "Then that makes you my…"

"Half brother, yah I know."

Without warning the door flew open and Mike walked in. "Ah, I see you're awake."

I stood up and faced him, "What do you want from me?"

He laughed, "It's not what I want from you. I don't want anything from you except you. You're my daughter and I have rights to you."

"But I don't want to live with you! Just let me go!"

He walked up to me and slapped me hard across the face, "Don't you dare yell at me!" He pushed me onto the floor and kicked me in the stomach. He stormed out of the room and slammed the door behind him.

Cameron came over and put a hand on my shoulder. "Don't touch me!" I curled into a ball and cried, not just because of the pain but also because of the shock. He had done worse to my mother.

"Zorah I want to help. What can I do to help?" Cameron was looking at me with such sadness that I had to let him do something. I dragged myself closer to him and he held me. "I'm so sorry that he did that to you. If I could've done something I would've. I'm so sorry."

I looked up at him, "It's not your fault. I opened my big mouth and I deserved it. It's not like you were the one hitting me."

He took my face in his hands gently, "You did not deserve that. No one deserves that no matter what they do. All you did was stand up for yourself."

I pulled away, "I opened my big mouth." He sighed and hugged me. We sat there like that for a long time. I noted how I felt safe knowing my brother was holding me; my big brother. Maybe things won't be so bad here. I just pray that Jack found me soon.

(Back with the team)

"Tosh track Zorah's cell phone. Gwen, get the surveillance tapes from all the cameras around Zorah's house." Jack was going insane with worry, darting around the hub barking orders at everyone. They just nodded and went back to their offices. Tosh started to tap on the keys of her giant computer.

"Jack," she called over, "I can't track it, it's not on. The last call was here."

Jack sighed, "Okay, I want you to try and track it every hour, we need to set a boundary to where she might be."

"Jack!" Gwen called out. He ran up and into her office, "I got the tapes." He watched as the closest one played. He saw Mike walking out of the house with a boy. The boy had Zorah, unconscious, in his arms. They got into the car and drove away. "After that they go out of range of every camera, we have no idea where they went." He nodded and left. He walked down and into his own office, plopping himself on the couch. He had broke his promise to Cara, he hadn't been there to protect her.
