I don't know Spanish...

Doug wasn't sure how long he had been pacing around the room, only that he had been doing so for a very long time and that Tom was still not back in there with him..

After finding out that his friend was gone, Doug had broken down. Tom had been his responsibility and he had screwed that up; just like he had screwed up with Marta. Now both were missing somewhere in El Salvador, and there was a good possibility that either one of them or even both could be dead. Doug just hoped that that wasn't true and that both were alive. Then Doug could get them both out of this country and back to America; back where they could be safe.

Doug stopped pacing when the door moved, a small stream of light floating across the floor. He readied himself for either an attack or the return of Tom. The door was then pushed open fully and a soldier came in, a gun in his hands. He glared at Doug as if saying he really didn't want to be here. Like Doug cared; he didn't want to be here either.

There was no sign of Tom and Doug glared back. "Where the Hell is my friend you sick bastard! What did you do to him!"

Doug rarely ever lashed out like that, but there were certain occasions where he was just plain pissed and couldn't help it; and this situation wasn't any different. Besides, the guy couldn't understand him anyways.

The man shoved the barrel of the gun into Doug's chest angrily and started screaming in Spanish. Doug didn't understood all of it, but he understood one word, "Rebelde."

Rebel. This guy wanted to know where the rebels where.

Doug casually shrugged his shoulders; he was American, he spoke English.

The soldier hit him hard across the face with his palm and screamed, "Rebelde!"

Doug laughed; they had taken Tom and now they wanted him to just give them information? Yeah right. Then the man spoke again and Doug froze.

"W-what?" he asked, his eyes clouding in fear.

"Thomas," the man replied. "Su amigo. Su amigo Thomas!"

Doug shoved the man back angrily. "Where is he?" he shouted angrily, then attempted some Spanish of his own, " Thomas! Donde está Thomas!"

The soldier smiled; the American spoke Spanish after all.

"Thomas para rebeldes!"

Now Doug understood. Tom must have not given them anything, and they were now willing to trade Tom for the rebel's whereabouts. And what made them think that after getting nothing from someone as small as Tom that they could just come and expect the larger one to succumb to their demands?

"No. Deseo Tom, usted no consigo nada." Doug was going to get Tom, and these bastards would get nothing in return.

The soldier angrily stormed from the room and Doug punched the closed door. That had gone quite well. Doug knew, though, that they wouldn't have just given Tom back that easily. That wasn't like them. He just hoped they would give Tom back; give him back alive.

Interpretations:

Rebelde: rebel

Su amigo Thomas: Your friend Thomas

Donde esta: Where is

Thomas para rebelde: Thomas for rebels

Deseo Tom, usted no consigo nada: According to my translator thing this means Tom desire, you not with himself nothing ...ugh, I have no idea what it's supposed to say either...
