Chapter 81

Inside the house, Harper continued to pace back and forth. "What was taking Nemesis so long," he thought. He had a good mind to just take things into his own hands. He knew, however, that if he did, Nemesis would be angry, so he waited.

A few minutes later Nemesis finally came back inside the house. "It's about time," said Harper. He was agitated. Nemesis raised an eyebrow and looked at his servant.

"Patience my friend, patience," he said.

"I don't have any more patience. What took you so long?" Nemesis grinned. "I was having my self a good time," he replied.

"Where are my kids," said John angrily. "Are they okay?"

"For now. That's going to change soon enough though."

"I'll kill you," said John. "I, I mean we, all of us, are going to find a way to kill you."

"That would be a neat trick seeing as how all of you are all tied up." John glared at the man, his eyes full of hate.

Nemesis turned his attention to Harper. "Which one," he asked. Harper grinned. Jack was sure he would pick him, so was Brad, but he didn't. He walked over to Tony and Bryan instead.

"You surprise me my friend," replied the immortal. "I thought for sure you wanted to start with the young doctors here first."

"I thought about it, but I decided to save them for last, besides, the doctors are close friends with the cops, so if I hurt the cops first, it will ultimately hurt them."

"Very well. You have my blessings," said the immortal. Harper grinned and walked up to Tony. "I think that you'll do for starters," he said. Tony glared back at the man.

"I'm going to torture you Tony. Do you realize that?" Harper replied. Tony licked his lips nervously but didn't answer.

"Why him first," stated Nemesis. Harper turned to look at his master. "Because he's the one that killed Langston," he said. Nemesis eyes went as cold as ice. "Oh yes," he said. "I forgot about that. I did promise you'd be sorry."

"It was an accident," said Tony. "I didn't mean to kill him. He grabbed the gun and we fought over it. It went off. I didn't do it on purpose."

Harper gestured toward the guards that were with them. They walked up to Tony.

"NO!" yelled Bryan anxiously. "Leave him alone. It was an accident!"

"It probably was," replied Harper as the guards removed the cuffs from Tony's hands. They shoved him toward the other side of the room where a table, with straps, was set up. He whirled and hit one of the guards, knocking him backwards.

"Tony look out!" yelled Bryan. Tony turned but wasn't fast enough. The second guard had come up behind him and hit him in the side of the head with the butt of his gun, knocking him to his knees. The first guard jumped up and together with the second, they grabbed him and picked him up. Tony struggled but could not get away. They forced him down onto the table and strapped his arms and legs to it wide.

"Tony!" yelled Bryan and began to fight to get out of the cuffs that bound him to the pole. "Leave him the hell alone!" he yelled. Nemesis laughed and watched to see what Harper had up his sleeve.

Harper walked over to a room off the main one. He grabbed a glass aquarium and returned to the living room. Bryan watched, wondering what he was going to do. Harper brought it over and sat it by Tony's head. He strained his neck to see what was in it. Harper took off the cover.

"Shit!" said Tony nervously as he saw that the aquarium had several large black spiders in it.

"What the hell are you going to do," asked Bryan. Harper grinned and looked at him.

"Well I'll tell you," he said excitedly as he began to put on heavy gloves. He removed the top and took out one of the spiders.

"We're in the mountains," he said. "Let's use the things of the mountains to torture our prey."

"Good idea," replied Nemesis. "I mean my friends are outside guarding the brothers." Harper nodded as he stroked the large spider. "Don't worry," he said. "It's not a black widow, but it is in the family." Harper walked over to Tony who began to fight to get out of the straps.

"Leave him alone," said Jack in a low voice. Harper turned to look at the doctor. The look that Jack had, scared him a little, but he continued.

"Don't!" yelled Bryan as Harper laid the spider by Tony's head. "Son of a bitch!" said Tony as he fought to get up. The spider crawled over to him and then crawled on his face. He froze, afraid to move a muscle.

"The spider's venom will paralyze you Tony, but you'll be able to feel everything. It won't kill you. That would be too easy." Tony watched as the spider crawled from his face to his neck. He didn't move. He hoped the spider would not do any thing, but no such luck.

The spider, when it got down to Tony's neck, sank it's fangs into the side. Tony winced as it bit him. He closed his eyes as he felt the venom pumping throughout his body and suddenly he could not move.

"Oh God Tony," said Bryan as he watched his partner helplessly.

"Enough!" said Jack dangerously. Nemesis turned. "Problem," he asked. Jack's eyes went dark. He concentrated and threw Nemesis back.

"The immortal screamed in rage and came back strong. Jack had released Brad, John and himself with his mind and stood to face off with the immortal. Brad ran over to Bryan and removed the cuffs. Bryan looked at his partner. A guard came forward but Bryan had had it. He punched the guy in the stomach and then in the face. The man fell unconscious to the ground.

He ran over to his partner. "Tony," he said nervously. The second guard attempted to grab him but Brad and John took him out.

"STOP!!!!!" yelled Nemesis in rage. Everyone stopped.

"Sit down Jack," he said.

"Hell no," replied Jack and faced off with him once again. Nemesis grinned. Harper took a step toward Jack but was thrown back effortlessly.

"Get them out of here," he said to his brother as he pitted will against will.

"We're not leaving you," said John.

"John go get Sam and Dean. Brad help Bryan get Tony and you all get the hell out of here."

"No way," said Brad. "We will not leave you Jack."

"I'll be okay," replied Jack. "They're more important."

"Not to me," said Brad. "Jack I just found you. I'll not loose you now." Nemesis took the chance as Jack was talking to his brother but Jack shoved him back once again.

"I'll stay. Just let everyone else go," said Jack. Nemesis looked at the young doctor and nodded. "He'd get them all back again soon," he thought.

"Fine," he said to the others. "Get the hell out."

"NO!" yelled Brad and Bryan at the same time.

"Go on Brad. I'll be okay. Get everyone else and leave. I'll be right behind you." Bryan came up and stood beside him. "That's not going to happen Jack. You come with us right now." Jack shook his head. "I can't," he replied. John had grabbed a gun and ran outside. When he saw the cougars he shot up into the air. They ran away and John knocked the lock off of the cage.

"Are you two okay," he asked Sam. He nodded and John went to Dean.

"Dean," he said and patted his oldest son on the face to get him to wake up. Dean moaned and opened his eyes. "Come on. I'm getting you two out of here." He helped Dean to his feet and turned to get Sam but he wasn't there.

"Shit!" said John. "Sammy!"

Sam went inside the house. When one of the guards tried to grab him, he threw him back with his mind and went to stand with Jack. Together they faced the immortal.

"What are you doing Sam," said Jack nervously,''

"We're not going to leave you here Jack so you can forget it."

"Sam!"

"No! It's not going to happen. You're not going to sacrifice yourself for us. You know you would never get away. If you don't leave with us then we don't leave. Nemesis glared at Sam. Jack glared at Nemesis. Everyone stood there ground, nobody was going to leave Jack behind.
