I am trying to vary the times i post so that different people find this, so you may want to add it to your bookmark or story alerts as it won't appear at the top of the page all the time.
Enough with the fluff and on with the story...
The men arrived at the agreed rendezvous.
"Bring him inside, then you'll get your money" she said.
The two men who were eager for their big pay off did as they were told.
"I see your a few men down"
"We lost a couple to the cop who was watching over him"
"I guess you deserve their pay too".
The woman got her men to put Adam in her big tank which, for the moment, was still empty.
She handed them four envelopes; two to each of them.
They had a quick count then left, no questions asked; that was one of the conditions she had insisted upon.
In the tank she had handcuffs fitted that were attached to chains. So when she did this Adam would not be able to get out.
She put Adams hands in the cuffs above his body as he could struggle more like this and would be slightly more humane and comfortable .
She began to fill the tank with water, filling it up so that it reached his head but was just below the height of his mouth then turned the water off.
Then she picked up her magazine and started reading, waiting for him to wake up, "it will be more fun this way. This will ensure me the first stages of revenge" She thought to herself.
Adam began to stir, but in doing so he turned his head to the side, effectively putting his face in the water, causing him to wake up abruptly.
Adam spat out the water he had in his mouth.
"Finally up I see" she said putting the magazine down.
"What do you want with me?"
"What's the best way to tear down a building? By taking out its supports. Since you won't make it out of here alive I think it's only fair you know why....Revenge, plain and simple, lucky for you that it's not you I want revenge on otherwise you would die much more painfully" she said still not revealing her name.
She did however lift up both of her sleeves and showed a tattoo on her right arm.
"Where have I seen that before?" Adam said to himself.
Then he suddenly realised. The Irish accent she spoke in brought it all back to him. All the Irish mobsters that were arrested or killed on that day all had that tattoo. (A/N Snow Day).
"Your boss killed my brother" she said in her clear Irish accent.
She duck taped his mouth shut so she wouldn't have to talk to him anymore and so that it would take longer for him to drown and he would have to watch the water rise and slowly bleed out.
She pulled her handgun out and shot him in his right leg, left shoulder and left side. (The tank is bullet proof so none of the bullets went straight through the tank).
Adam didn't even have time to scream, the bullets ripped through his flesh. At first the impact sites felt like they were on fire, then he began to feel cold, really cold, too cold.
The blood slowly started to mix with the water, slowly turning it red.
Adam began to drift in and out of consciousness.
She began to pack up her stuff as Adam's blood was going to make the water level rise and he would die either way, she felt her job was done here.
After she had left all Adam could do was try to keep his nose above the water and buy his team a little more time to find him.
He began to feel really drained. Every time he drifted off to a dreamless sleep the waters cold temperature woke him abruptly before he could fully submerge himself.
However the water had been slowly rising and was now filled with more of Adam's blood.
"NYPD, open up" a voice said just as Adam's nose got completely submerged.
"Don?" Adam asked himself as he held his breath and tried to remain calm.
Adam was holding his breath and trying to stay conscious at the same time.
*The*Team's*POV*
"Break it down" Flack ordered the officers he brought with him.
As soon as the door was out of the way Flack, Danny, Stella and Mac entered and started sweeping the area, guns drawn. They were being trailed by Sid and Sheldon who were also desperate to find Adam.
Stella heard something so she paused and listened for it again.
*bang*bang* came from nearby and it sounded like glass being tapped.
*Adam's*POV*
"They're here! Hang on Adam, hang on" he said to himself while his eyes were open and above the water.
He heard what he hoped was someone breaking down the door.
He could barely move and couldn't hold his breath much longer.
Adam used all his effort to tap on the glass, if that would help at all.
He started to move his left leg, which was unharmed, and kicked at the glass.
The first few kicks weren't hard enough for even him to hear so he kicked as hard as he could.
After doing so he had to let go of the air, he just couldn't hold it anymore...
I hope you like the cliffhanger *evil*laugh* i do love them.
Adam doesn't seem to have enough attention, so i thought i would give him an overload.
Enjoy xx
