A/N: It gets pretty crazy! This is all I have right now... I will continue to work on it... Thanks for reading! LEAVE REVIEWS LEAVE REVIEWS LEAVE REVIEWS!

"Pleasure!" He yelled right into her ear. He could feel her kicking so he kneed her in the thigh. She let out a yelp of pain and brought her hands away from his and punched him where the bloody bandage was on his chest. He immediately fell to the ground and held his chest, crying out in pain.

Foster ran to the other side of the room to be as far away as possible and held her neck… falling to the ground as well, quicjly taking in big breaths to remind herself that she could breath now.

Jack walked in disappointed, "I was hoping he would kill you… then I wouldn't kill him because he would have to deal with murder the rest of his life." Foster gave him a sick look and massaged her neck. Jqack nodded his head and walked over to Cal. He kicked him where the bandage was and watched him yell in pain. Jack laughed then walked over to Foster and dragged her out of the room. "You can go home… we are going to change location anyway." He said to her kicking her towards the door. "You might want to have your neck checked out… I don't know how much damage he caused…" Jack said raising his eyebrows.

Foster took a deep breath and began to sob, "Please don't kill him…" She whispered through her tears.

"Wait! He just made an attempt at your life and all you can do is beg us not to kill him?" Jack asked totally surprised.

"Please…" Foster said walking away.

"What if Lightman kills Foster?" Loker asked Ben. They had tried to avoid that question but Loker knew it had to be thrown out into the many other questions.

"He… he won't… he wouldn't." Torres said looking around the office.

Suddenly the door blew open and Foster walked in.

"Foster!" Ben yelled walking to her side. She was still holding her neck and couldn't talk because it hurt too much.

"What happened to you?" Loker asked pulling her hands down to reveal bruises on her neck. Her neck was practically purple, black, and blue from where Cal's hands had been just 15 minutes ago.

Torres ran to them with some water for Foster. She stared at her with a look of sympathy. About 30 minutes later Foster could talk without as much pain.

"He's going to kill Cal…" Foster whispered breaking the half hour silence.

Ben was surprised to hear her talk and he came and sat next to her on the couch in Cal's office. They were all in there. Loker was digging around, Torres was reading a book of Cal's, and Foster had been drinking bottles, and bottles of water. Hoping it would take away the ache in her neck.

"Who?" Torres asked sitting on the other side of her. Loker began to walk to the couch and took a seat on Lightman's desk.

"Jack…" She whispered.

"Wait…" Ben said, "Let's start from the beginning. What happened to your neck?"

"Well that's not really the beginning…" Foster said trying to lighten the mood.

"I don't really care… what happened?" Loker said becoming very curious.

"Cal…" She was on the verge of tears. She was trying to stop it from replaying in her head but it did anyway. She could see Cal's face…. And his hands on her neck… she could feel the pain all over again. She could hear his screaming voice. She could see the hatred in his eyes.

"Cal what?" Torres asked.

A single tear rolled down her face and she shook her head.

"Did Lightman do this to you?" Loker yelled at her, but it only scared her and caused her to cry more. Torres comforted her and gave a look of disgust to Loker. Loker ignored her and watched Foster nod her head. "He did it… I don't know how and I don't know why but she just nodded!" Loker insisted to Ben hoping that he would be mad at Lightman with him for once. Nobody ever agreed with Loker. Loker always insisted that Cal was a jerk and never did anything good for them, but now was his chance to actually prove it.

Ben looked to Foster and got down on his knees and put his hand on Foster's shoulder, "Did Cal, do this to you Gillian? Did he hurt you?" He asked her in the most gentle voice he could manage.

Foster took a deep breath and looked at Ben, "Yes… he did." She said letting the tears come again, and letting the scene play over and over again in her head. Ben patted her on the back and stood up. He looked down at Gillian and shook his head.

"We need more information, Foster." He insisted.

"There said they were going to move the location… He said I could leave and that they would move to a new place. They are going to kill him, Ben!" She yelled at him even though it made her throat sting.

Ben brought his hands to his face and sighed. "What kind of shape is he in?" Ben asked deciding her would keep Foster's injury out of the conversation… for now.

"Bad… his face is bloody and bruised and I think he has a broken nose… definitely broken ribs and he was internally bleeding but I think Jack had some doctor fix that…" She mumbled.

"When did Lightman have a chance to do that to you?" Loker blurted out, regretting it after it was too late.

Foster took a deep breath and decided she needs to tell them. "After the doctor fixed him up they fed him and gave him several beers. They threw him into the room I was in… drunk…" She said quietly. "He got mad at me and told me it was my fault he was going to die… and… he started to choke me… I told him he was drunk and that he didn't know what he was doing but he just pressed harder and said that it was what he wanted and that he knew what he was doing… and he told me that I hadn't gotten several beating like he did… He was right Ben… I had to watch them beat him… I had to watch them kick him in the face and in the stomach… I had to help him and while I did that they continued to hurt him… he's going to die… it's my fault because I insisted that he took the case… the one that made Jack miss the meeting… the one that made his family die… the one that is now going to get Cal killed… and it won't even be a quickly death… they are beating him to death, Ben!" She yelled out.

"He tried to kill you, Gillian!" Loker yelled at her. He was totally pissed with Lightman right now.

"He didn't know!" She yelled back at him.

"How did you get him to stop?" Torres asked… thinking of the bright sight.

"I punched him in the ribs, Torres. I punched RIGHT where it hurt the most. I watched him fall to the ground in atrocious pain! And I caused it! I made him cry out in pain and watched him grab his chest and just… I saw him in pain and did nothing…" She said letting a tear roll down her face.

"He tried to kill you!" Loker yelled again. He didn't care what she did to him, "You could have died at Lightman's hands!"

"Do you know in how much hurt he is in? He is in much more pain then I was in!" She yelled back at Loker… she was trying to defend Lightman but knew he had no right to be defended. He could have done something else! He didn't need to try to kill her! She wasn't sure who she should be mad at. Loker? Lightman? Jack? Herself? She decided she should be mad at all four. She held her neck because it was beginning to throb.

Torres looked at the ground deciding that that wasn't the best question to ask. "We are going to get him Foster… you had to hurt him or he was going to hurt you."

"He already has!" Loker interrupted pointing to Foster's neck.

Foster looked at Loker then back to Torres… "That doesn't mean it was okay…"

"It was totally okay! You shoulda kneed him in the balls while you were at it!" He yelled at her.

"Loker!" Torres yelled.

Loker looked at the ground then walked away.

Torres shook her head in disappointment then looked back to Foster. "We will… any ideas of where they were going to take him?"

"No… he just told me to leave and that they were moving to a different location." She said sadly, "I wish I could help more."

"We know, Gillian… we all wish we could help more." Ben said.

"I don't!" Loker yelled into the room.

"SHUTUP!" Reynolds yelled at him. "I think we just need to sleep, being deprived of rest isn't going to help Lightman…" Ben said taking a seat on Lightman's chair and closing his eyes. Torres let Foster take the couch and she took a seat one of the cushioned chairs. She was asleep in about ten minutes. Loker walked in and was greeted by Reynolds, "I don't think so… you get to sleep outside…"Reynolds said, closing the door to the office and went to sleep.

.:.

"Should we wait till morning to totally hurt him? Or do it right now?" Jack asked getting excited and jumpy. They were now in an old abandoned gym. Lightman could see the basketball hoops and could see racks with basketballs on them.

"Wait till the morning… we can get more sleep so we can be energized when it's time for the real fun…" Tim said with a smile.

"Good point... but I kinda wanna do something right now… so he has a painful night… ya know?" He said to Tim. Tim nodded and the boys surrounded Cal. "Ummm… what to do what to do…" Jack said thinking. Let's just throw basketballs at him as hard as we possibly can. I think I saw some golf balls too. Let me know what else is over there." Jack said .

"Um, there are some gold balls… golf clubs… tennis balls and tennis racquets… basketballs… bowling balls…" One of the kids rambled on.

Oh really? Golf clubs and bowling balls? Sounds like fun to me!" Jack said getting up and grabbing a couple bowling balls.

Cal looked at him in terror. He watched the ball go up into the air and then watched it drop down on his leg. He screamed in pain and he knew that it was broken. He heard Jack's maniac laugh. He watched the next bowling ball come down in the exact same place. Another shriek of horrid pain ran threw his body. He was now down to a low whimper in the middle of the gym. His cry was still echoing through the gym. Jack lastly picked up a golf club and whacked call on the back and leg… in the same spot where he dropped the bowling ball. He laughed at Cal's pain then went to bed.

Cal lay there. He didn't dare move from his current position. He waited till he was positive everyone was asleep and he crawled away from the beds.

.:.

Foster woke up to her cell phone ringing. She took a look and saw a picture of Emily flashing on the screen. "Hello?" She answered.

"Where is my dad?" Emily asked worriedly.

"Um…" Foster said walking over to Reynolds. She woke him up and whispered, "Emily wants to know where Lightman is."

"Oh shit!" Ben said sitting up instantly. "Uh… tell her that we don't know. It technically isn't a lie. We don't know where he is." He whispered.

"I am not exactly sure." She whispered.

"He said he would be back in the morning, Gillian…" She whined.

"I'm sorry Emily… I wish I would help…" She said back. She heard a click on the other end so she hang up.

.:.

Emily set the phone down and walked outside. She got in her car and drove to her mother's house. She walked in quickly and saw her mom on the couch with a newspaper and coffee. "Mom… I can't find dad. He said he would be back in the morning but he isn't here…" She said to Zoe with a single tear rolling down her face.

"Oh Emily…" Zoe said getting up and embracing her, "I am sure he just got caught up at work or something." She said letting go and holding her at arm's length.

"No… I already called work… he isn't there and they haven't seen him…" She sniffed at look up at her mother.

The phone began to ring so Zoe walked over and answered putting it on speaker. "Hello?"

"He is going to die tonight…" A man said on the other end.

Zoe looked to Emily and she shrugged. "Who is?" She asked.

"Cal Lightman." Emily took a seat on the couch and began crying again. She knew it. She knew he had gotten himself into trouble.

Zoe sat down next to her and wrapped her arm around Emily's shoulder. "What are you talking about?" She knew that she didn't want to hear and that she definitely didn't want Emily to hear.

"Well… I have told this story too many times but I guess I can again. 5 years ago, Cal had a case that put me in jail. While I was in jail there was this gang meeting that I couldn't go to. And because I couldn't go the gang meeting, the gang killed my two kids and wife. They beat them and tortured them to death. So… I contacted Cal and thought I would let him in on my little secret. I told him I was going to kill you two. Yes I know that Emily is there as well. Anyway I told him that I was going to kill you guys the same way my family was killed, because the gang told me. He didn't know why, but he begged me to take him instead. I thought I would give him a little slack. So I agreed and told him to come to this warehouse. And if he told anyone that I would kill you anyway. So basically you're ex husband gave up his life to save yours. So there you go… I am killing him and I want you to know that he begged me to take him instead. So you know that he died saving your lives." Jack said.

"Oh my gosh…" Zoe said beginning to cry as well.

"Yep…" Jack said hanging up.

"What... what are we supposed to do?" Zoe asked Emily.

Emily had her face buried in her legs crying. "I don't want him to die!" She yelled at Zoe.

"Me neither… We have to call Reynolds." She dialed his number...

A/N: EPIC... Well there is a new Lie to Me on tonight so i am going to go watch... Umm let me know if you think the chapters are too long... I can shorten them. ^.^
