The moment the first whip came the whole team flinched, Grace looking away. "Grace go tell Hightower about this situation, Rigsby dig into David Arch find out more about this brother," Lisbon commands. The two agents scurry off, knowing there is no time to waste. "Boss anything you need me to do?" Cho asks turning away from the TV screen. "I gave you probably one of the tougher jobs Cho, you and me are going to stay and watch this, we have to make sure nothing important changes," Lisbon says pulling up a chair to watch the awful video.
After what seems like years the blindfold and cloth is ripped off Jane, and he is left shocked and slightly scared. His back is bleeding and his throat is sore from screaming. "Ah now that was very enjoyable Mr. Jane," The leader laughs walking up to Jane, carrying a red hot brand. "I think everything would be so much more enjoyable if you just let me go," Jane says, his voice rough and scratchy.
The man smiles and examines the symbol end of the brand like it's the most interesting thing in the world. "I did my research Mr. Jane, I found out about your family. Killed by the serial killer Red John, then their blood used to paint a smiley face," The man says his smile growing as he tilts the brand to reveal the symbol. Jane's throat constricts and his chest tightens as he see's the all so familiar smiley face.
The man steps closer and Jane begins to panic and tries to arch away from the hot brand. The man just moves closer and shoves the hot metal onto Jane's bare stomach. The sound of sizzling flesh and screams fills the empty warehouse along with two men's laughs.
The leader pulls the brand away and moves it to another spot on Patrick's stomach, again causing screams to fill the building.
The brand is pressed to his soft skin 3 more times before the man walks away, leaving 5 Red John smiley faces on Jane's stomach.
Lisbon watches as the man carries a hot brand over to Jane and begins talking about his family and Red John. The leader than shows the brand to Jane who stiffens, Cho and Lisbon though, not able to see it. The man steps forward but Jane arch's away, trying to get as much distance between him and the brand as possible.
The man just steps forward even more and laughs along with James when the brand hits Jane's skin causing him to scream. "Oh god," Lisbon says looking away from the awful scene in front of her. "Boss," Cho says slightly shaky. Lisbon takes a deep breath before turning back to the screen to see what Cho wanted her to see.
Her eyes widen when she spots it, the Red John smiley face branded onto Jane's skin. The man pushes the brand onto Patrick again and Lisbon can't help but feel relieved when Rigsby appears with information.
"So the leader apparently is Steve Arch, the younger brother of David Arch, apparently when his brother was put in jail he was beyond upset, makes sense that he wants him out. Um he's been charged with petty crimes, like a few grocery store robberies, and a couple charges of assault," Rigsby informs. "Great, see if you can find any places he's lived, places he works at," Lisbon says. "Got it boss," Rigsby says going back to work.
Lisbon sighs, "We have to find Jane, fast."
"Those burns look like their hot, maybe you need some water to cool them down?" James laughs carrying a bucket of water over and dumping it on Jane. James laughs before filling the bucket again with a hose and dumping it again over Jane making sure it goes over his face.
James dumps the water on him repeatedly, when he finally stops black dots are dancing Jane's vision and his gasping for breath. "Hmm that was fun," James says with a sick smile, hidden slightly behind the mask. "Oh *cough* ya tons," Jane says sarcastically, coughing roughly.
"Shut up," The man says, rolling his eyes angrily, "Well Mr. Jane me and James have to go pick some stuff up we will be back shortly," The leader says leaving the warehouse and Jane.
Patrick sighs in relief, and starts thinking of a plan to escape, a way out. He starts wiggling his hands and his heart skips a beat when the handcuffs loosen. He wiggles his hands and to his complete surprise they slip out, he falls to the ground but gets back on his feet quickly. Escaping the only thing in his mind at the moment.
He looks at the door the two men just left and turns the opposite heading for the other door. When he reaches it he opens it slowly and peaks his head out, the door leads strait outside into a parking lot with a few old, probably broken down cars.
When he sees no one he goes all the way through the door and outside. He looks around again and starts walking quickly hoping to find help right away. "Mr. Jane," A voice calls from behind. Patrick freezes and turns sharply to see the leader standing by the door. "You really think we would make it this easy for you to escape," The man laughs before looking right behind Jane to someone.
Jane turns to see James holding a crowbar. Despair fills Jane, he actually thought he had escaped, these men toyed with him, toyed with how excited he was to be free. "I'm going to enjoy this," James laughs before stepping to Jane quickly and bringing the crowbar down onto Jane's ribs.
He grunts and stumbles, doubled over slightly, the man then hits him in the back, causing him to fall to the ground. James then continues hitting Jane in the ribs and back, causing Jane to scream every time the metal comes in contact with him.
