Nate at that moment in time was slowly coming to the realisation that he was stuck in the middle of nowhere. The one place he'd seen any signs of life where being watched by the men who had took him, he had to get to that phone. He froze as he felt a cold piece of metal placed against his neck and heard the words "get up very slowly Mr Ford and walk towards the van". He slowly stood up and started to raise his hands above his head but at the same time he pivoted on his left foot and tried to knock the gun away and but found his foot being kicked out from under him and the breath was knocked out of him as he slammed onto the cold concrete floor. He took in a few deep breaths as he tried to focus on the man standing above him.
"Who are you?" he managed to ask.
"Mr Ford I'm shocked you don't recognise me, after all these years I'm hurt".
Nate felt himself being lifted off the floor and found himself face to face with Tony Kadjic.
"Kadjic, how nice to see you again" Nate said. "How long's it…" his sentence was cut short by a fist to the stomach which knocked the wind out of him. He found himself being held upright so he couldn't bend into the next two punches that came. He started retching as his tried to catch his breath.
"Take him back to the house and this time, don't let him get away or you'll answer to me". They dragged Nate and threw him into the car with one of them sitting him with him; they weren't taking any chances on him this time. They dragged Nate out of the car took him into a house and shoved him into a chair and tied his hands behind his back. He shouted out in pain as one of the men sucker punched him in the jaw, he tasted blood and spat it out onto the floor. The man grabbed him by the throat and said "If you ever do that again, I'll break all your fingers". And to prove a point he grabbed one of Nate's fingers on his left hand and bent it back breaking it in one quick move. Nate screamed as the pain registered in his mind a split second later. Sweat starting pouring down his face as he tried to focus on something else to take the pain away.
"You son of a bitch" gasped Nate, "you do that again I'll kill you".
The man just looked and laughed and walked off.
