Ok guys here we go! I love this chapter… Enjoy and PLEASE review!

WARNING – TORTURE SCENE! (It's not THAT gruesome…)

Jane could do nothing but watch as the masked man carefully made a shallow yet obviously painful cut in Lisbon's arm. She screamed behind the duct tape as blood trailed to the floor. The cut was not deep enough to kill, but it was deep enough to cause tears to come gushing from Lisbon's bloodshot eyes. Then the man took out a small bottle of clear liquid.

"Acid." Said the voice to Jane, "Sulfuric Acid. He only drops the tiniest drop, but it's fascinating to see the victim's reaction…" it said before laughing once more.

"No. No! Stop! Please!" Said Jane, but his voice didn't stop the walls laughing in mockery of his helplessness, and his voice didn't stop the masked man from dropping a single drop of the acid into Lisbon's raw wound.

The masked man then put a finger to a small earpiece, and nodded. He tore off the duct tape from Lisbon's mouth, causing her split lip to open once more releasing a miniature river of bright red, dripping down her chin and into her hair.

Jane could not remove his eyes from the screen as Lisbon screamed a blood-curdling scream that echoed through his room. The skin on her arm was burning, but the masked man had only just put enough acid on her arm to cause excruciating pain, yet not enough to melt through to the bone. Bare muscle was visible as Lisbon screamed at the pain throbbing from her arm.

"NO! Please! Stop hurting her! Please!" Called Jane, and he ran full speed at the door of his room, hitting it hard at the same time as hearing his collar bone snap. He squeezed his eyes shut in pain, but he knew that he had to stop the man from hurting Lisbon. He tried again, with no success.

…

Lisbon's head was throbbing with pain, and her ribs were hurting more than ever. Her arm felt like it was on fire with a million knives being repetitively stabbed into her. She was screaming even though with each scream more blood poured from her lip. Then the masked man put his finger to his ear and nodded again. Then he spoke.

"Your friend, Mr. Jane is not being very cooperative," he said as he walked close up to Lisbon's side. "I'm sorry I have to do this. You really have beautiful looking fingers."

Lisbon was confused. She didn't know what to think, the pain and the throbbing through her whole body jumbled her thoughts. The man lifted out more duct tape and secured her elbow to the chair. The elbow of the acid-burned hand. He then ripped off the duct tape at her wrist and picked up her hand.

"Please don't! Help! Jane! Please! Anybody!"

…..

Jane had been throwing himself against the door, hoping, wishing, that it would fall open and let him be able to find Cho and get Lisbon out of the room somehow.

…

Cho had received Jane's text, and took it very seriously. He was in his bulletproof vest and had his gun at the ready as he entered the abandoned building. He stepped into the foyer, and seeing that there was no one there, headed for the stairs. He could hear faint screaming coming from that direction and immediately knew it was Lisbon.
Cho began to make his way up the stairs, quickly but silently.

….

Jane's collarbone was killing him. It was almost unbearable, but he knew he had to find Cho to save Lisbon and himself. The whole time he was running against the door the voice was mocking him, reminding him of his family and Red John, but he resisted.

Finally he pushed the door down. The voice stopped. Jane forced himself to follow Lisbon's screams. Then he heard an even louder scream than before following a small cracking noise. This happened twice, then Jane found the door to Lisbon's room. He burst in easily as it was unlocked to any entering from the outside, and Lisbon's back was to him. The masked man came over and, seeing how weak Jane was, stabbed the consultant in the shoulder without hesitation. Jane collapsed and yelled, "I'm sorry… Lisbon!" And fell unconscious as the masked man hit him on the head with the butt of the knife.

…

Cho had found the dark room, and hated himself for leaving his flashlight in his desk. He walked until he could see the outline of a door, but then he heard a gunshot and a sudden pain struck his leg. He collapsed, and clutching his leg, managed to stay silent. He heard footsteps, and shot in that direction. He heard a male voice yell out in pain, before the male collapsed with a thump. If his leg wasn't emitting excruciating pain, Cho might have even laughed.

He forced himself up, and limped in great pain to the door. He opened it to find two doors in a hallway. He opened the first door to find an empty room with a small bloodstain on the floor. Seeing no Lisbon, nor Jane, he rushed to the second door and opened it to find Jane unconscious and bleeding on the floor and an only half-conscious Lisbon with a dislocated shoulder and what looked like a half-melted arm, as well as two fingers in awkward positions. Then, looking up, he realised that a man in a mask was staring at him with a knife raised. In a flash, Cho shot the masked man and collapsed to the floor. He managed to call an ambulance before the pain from his leg spead through his whole body and into his mind, causing him to fall unconscious.

…

Grace and Rigsby had been released from hospital and were back in the office. Rigsby wasn't much help though, because his injury to his head caused him to have very small memory loss. He'd forget simple things like, where he put his pen, or if he'd already eaten his lunch or not, but the doctor said he'd fully recover within a few days. Apart from a small Band-Aid covering the stitches on his head, Rigsby had a cast on each arm, but could still type, and broken ribs, but he insisted on coming to work because he didn't want to leave Grace alone after what happened.

Grace had fewer injuries than Rigsby, but she still had a lot. She had stitches on her shoulder, a cast on her left arm, and still had the small rectangular stickers across a healing scar on her forehead as well as three broken ribs. Although her work performance was slightly affected by these injuries, it was more affected by her mental state. At every bang, bump or even tap she'd flinch, her subconscious still dwelling on the explosion.

They both knew of each other's pain, but were too scared of being caught that neither of them expressed how they truly felt. Rigsby was sitting at his desk, watching Vanpelt as she typed with only her right hand, when his phone rang, and made poor Grace almost hit the roof in shock. He picked up the phone at looked apologetically at Grace as she blushed in embarrassment.

"Hello?

…Really? Wow…

We'll be right there…

Goodbye.."

"Who was that?" asked Grace, curiously.

"Who was who?" asked Rigsby.

"The person on the phone just now." She replied.

"Oh um… I can't remember…" he said, ashamed.

"You said, 'we'll be right there'." She said in attempt to jog his memory, and it worked.

"Oh! The hospital!" He said in excitement.

"Why? Who's at the hospital? Rigsby please remember!" Grace pleaded, running over to Rigsby a little too fast, causing her ribs to ache.

"Um… Jane, Lisbon… and Cho! Everyone! Let's go!"

…

When Vanpelt and Rigsby arrived at the hospital and Grace was told which rooms they were in, the pair went to see Cho first, as the doctor said he was the one needing the least rest.

"Hey Cho," said Rigsby, his eyes shifting from Cho's face to Cho's leg, which was not covered by the blanket and was in a cast, "What happened to you man?"

"Basically," said Cho, putting his book down, "Jane and Lisbon were trapped in the abandoned building and were beat up pretty bad. Jane texted me and I went to try and help them, got shot in the leg, and the bullet shattered the bone according to the nurse."

"Wow, are you okay?" asked Grace in a worried tone, "That's very brave of you Cho."

"Thanks Vanpelt but the morphine has stopped all feeling in my leg. It's actually nicer in here than in the office, although I wouldn't mind being able to walk again."

"Hey Cho," said Rigsby, his eyes shifting from Cho's face to Cho's leg, which was not covered by the blanket and was in a cast, "What happened to you man?"

"I just told you." Cho said blankly, a little confused, "What's up with him?" he asked, turning to Grace.

"Slight memory loss Cho, don't worry, he'll be better in a few days. We hope you get better soon too."

"Thanks." Said Cho, turning back to his book as Vanpelt and Rigsby left the hospital room.

Next room was Jane's. The doctor had previously explained to Grace and Rigsby about Jane's injuries. He had minor concussion, three broken ribs, a broken collarbone and a dislocated left shoulder.

They walked in to find Jane lying uncomfortably in his hospital bed watching the small television above the bed. Seeing someone who wasn't a doctor, Jane turned off the TV and smiled at his visitors.

"Hey guys," he said weekly, "How's it hanging?"

"We heard you and boss were tortured, seems like someone's targeting our unit," said Grace, "First Rigsby and I, now you, Cho and boss? I wonder who it is… Do you have any idea Jane?" she asked, hoping he would have an answer.

However, Jane replied in a sarcastic tone.

"Yes Grace I'm improving. Yes my collarbone hurts, I'll tough it out. No really, don't fuss, I'll be fine."

"Jane," said Rigsby, "we know you're in pain but the sooner this case gets closed the better, "We're sorry man."

"No," said Jane in reply to Grace's question, "I got nothing… although, I was thinking, maybe it was someone who had something against Tanner, not us? A husband of a victim, and a father maybe? Perhaps he felt that in order to make certain that it was he, and only he who was to avenge his family, he decided to damage our unit in order to give him enough time to find and kill Tanner… But that's all I got."

"Not Tanner himself trying to stop us from catching him?" Grace asked.

"What would he lure us to his hideout simply to torture us and spit us back out again? No, I think it's just a victim trying to get revenge."

After sincerely thanking Jane for his help, Grace left Rigsby with Cho to talk and she went into Lisbon's hospital room. Grace already knew the whole story. Lisbon was tortured, in order to torture Jane, and whoever the man was who was torturing them, knew that they would call Cho, and Cho would come, so he would have the whole unit damaged. She knew Lisbon had gone through the worst of it, and she knew Lisbon had fought hard.

Grace walked into Lisbon's room and up to her bed. She observed Lisbon as he slept. Lisbon's arm was dressed in a thick bandage, as well as being strapped up around her neck for the entire arm had been dislocated, and two fingers of her left hand were in tiny casts. She had stitches on her top lip, and stitches on her forehead. She was beaten up pretty badly.

Ok so I know this chapter was pretty sad and torturey, but PLEASE review! I need to know what people think! The next chapter is slightly better, no more torture, but the entire team is scarred from the experience. Last chapter next guys – hope you liked this one! PLEASE REVIEW?
