Prepare yourselves. I hope you like this chapter. This is building up to a torture scene – WARNING – torture scene NEXT chapter
Jane's blazer ruffled in the wind as he stepped out of the SUV. Lisbon was already out and in front of him, waiting for him to get out so that she could lock the doors with the remote locking system.
After hearing the high-pitched beep that meant the doors were locked, the two CBI members walked towards the abandoned building.
….
Jane had to admit he was a little scared. After what had happened to Grace and Rigsby, he hoped that was just a one off. But, Jane wasn't only scared for himself, he was also very frightened for Lisbon. Sure, she acted tough at times, but he'd seen the real her. He knew she was really quite sensitive and kind at heart. He didn't want her to get hurt.
Lisbon looked around the abandoned Foyer, trying to find a sign of life, signaling to Jane to wait at the door until she was sure no one was present. She wondered around the empty space pointing her gun to the floor for a while, and finally, she placed it back in its holster.
"Jane, let's try the stairs. They look stable," Lisbon said as she turned towards the stairs.
"Wait, maybe we should go, get some professionals to check it out. Lisbon what if there are people up there. We have one agent and one… me," he said with a chuckle, "It would be stupid to go up there alone."
"Right. Let's go back to the CBI then," said Lisbon as she turned away from the stairs and headed towards the door. Lisbon tried the door and failed.
"Crap." She said, turning towards Jane.
Jane walked over to where Lisbon was.
"It's locked." She said, and she turned to Jane with a frightened look on her face, and she looked almost as frightened as him.
"I guess we'll have to take the stairs then. Try to find another way out." Lisbon said, taking her gun out once more, "Follow close behind me."
As Jane followed Lisbon toward the stairs he silently texted Cho to come and save them.
"need ur help. in trouble abondoned building. Cum quik"
Jane and Lisbon walked slowly up the stairs, until they came to a wide-open room with no lights. Luckily, Lisbon had her torch. Unluckily, and to her great frustration, it had flat batteries.
So the two walked blindly through the room, and after what seemed like hours of walking, they spotted the outline of a door. Lisbon's pace increased and Jane's followed.
Just before they reached the door, everything was lost in confusion.
Lisbon lost her gun and her torch after being grabbed and her hand painfully hit. She also lost Jane, but could still hear him breathing and she tried to walk closer to the sound but she was stopped by a blow over the head, which caused her to fall unconscious almost instantly.
Jane heard Lisbon yell and collapse as he was repeatedly punched in the stomach by several fists. He collapsed on his knees, then was hit over the back of the head. He wasn't knocked out by the blast, but pretended to be. He knew there was no point trying to fight. He was too weak for that. He could taste blood in his mouth.
…..
Lisbon woke up to a completely white, square shaped room, tied to a chair with a sore head and ribs. She had the taste of blood in her mouth, and after investigating her lip, found it had been split by the blow to her face. Judging by the pain from her ribs, she guessed that two or three might be broken.
She looked around the room, but it was completely empty, apart from her, with her arms, legs and waist bound to a wooden chair, and a small black dot in the top right corner of where she was facing. She guessed this was a badly hidden camera.
Lisbon tried to force the duct tape holding her to the chair to break, but her ribs hurt too much for that, so she let out a yell of "Help!" Before the door burst open before her and a man with a black mask and glasses burst in and taped over her mouth.
….
Jane was also in a white, square-shaped room. He looked around, and saw a screen directly in front of him, but it was blank. He was not tied to a chair like Lisbon, but he was lying on the ground. His ribs hurt, and his head hurt. He felt the back of his head and sure enough there was a giant lump at the center of the pain. He got up painfully and called out.
"Lisbon!" he yelled, "Can you hear me?"
But no reply came.
Suddenly he heard a voice project from the walls.
"Hello, Mr. Jane." Said the voice, "I'm really sorry but you have information that I can't ignore. I'm afraid you and your team are getting too close to this case. I thought perhaps the extermination of those two agents would slow you down… But you really are heartless people aren't you? You aren't affected by their deaths. You just continue with work like a drone."
"Who are you?" Jane bravely asked, shaking. "Who are you talking about? Vanpelt and Rigsby survived the explosion!" He yelled back at the walls, grasping his ribs as he did so.
"Damn!" said the voice, "I was really hoping that would work! Oh well, how's my good friend Gregory? Did he survive too?"
"No, now who are you and where is Lisbon?"
The voice was now full of laughter. The screen before Jane turned on, revealing a view of Lisbon, sitting strapped to a chair in a horrible state. Then a man with a black mask came into view, and he was holding a knife. Lisbon was now gagged with duct tape, and she looked weak, but was still struggling a little. Light glinted off the tears that were mixed with sweat as they ran down her cheeks.
Ok let me know what you thought of this chapter – Next chapter gets a little scary – there is a torture scene. Not just Lisbon, but Jane is tortured too.
