Chapter 7: Revenge
A/N: Ok so I just realized that my lines to separate parts weren't working but I got them to work now so here's another chapter! Once again a big thank you to all who reviewed, it means a lot to me!
Disclaimer: I don't own them….
Dani was scared. She was actually scared. These people were familiar, her remembering their names as Jack and Spencer Williams, brothers. She could never forget the faces of the people whom she had to tell that their loved ones were dead, it came with the job. This one was particular for many reasons: He had just walked away and fell of the grid never went home again, and his wife was the collateral damage for a failed mission to kill one Yakov Alvang. She berated herself for not putting it together before, another assassination attempt on the diplomat. She could still remember the haunted look in Jack's eyes when she'd told him his wife wasn't coming home.
He began to speak "You seem to remember me. Good, I still remember you; you took my Vera from me. She was all I had and now you're going to pay." He paused to let it sink in, "I'm going to make it slow and painful, my brother here tells me I shouldn't … he doesn't know what I've been through so we'll go with plan A."
Dani chose not to speak, knowing it would only make him angrier and rather stared at him. "We will let you sleep one last time, savor it." He said menacingly.
Early the next morning, Jesse quickly awoke from a very light and restless sleep to go to HQ early. He got there and Agent Lawson was coming up with a plan.
"The victim's husband is Jack Williams, he has motive, a good way to do it, and after years of being off the grid would make it to where no one would suspect him. He must've been planning it for a while now and we have a plan, sort of."
"Sort of? I don't want sort of, sort of will get people killed, we can't have sort of. What's the plan?" Jesse asked realizing he didn't even know what the plan was.
"We know that Jack and Vera had a place down in the Everglades, but supposedly nobody knows about it, until now. It makes sense to take a victim there, nobody around to hear the screams and plenty of places to dump a bo-" he stopped realizing what he had just said. "Jesse sorry, I forgot who I was speaking to…"
"No, it's okay, I told you my feelings wouldn't get in the way of the case and they're not." Is what Jesse replied instead of thinking about the many ways he could kill him using a pair of scissors. "So what's the plan?" he asked again.
"I figured we could get that Westen guy and the girl to help and we all go down there and get her. Simple in and out procedure."
"First you don't want them to know anything and now you need their help?" Jesse snapped.
"Yea you know how it works. Look get them in here and fill them in, we leave tonight." And with that he left.
Michael and Fiona were sleeping in for the first time in what seemed like forever when his phone rang. "Yea Jesse?" he answered groggily.
"Michael, I need yours and Fiona's help. I don't have a lot of time but just get to the C.I.A headquarters here in Miami and I'll fill you in."
Michael was worried, Jesse had called him Michael instead of one of the many nicknames he had and his tone was dead like. Fiona stirred and opened her eyes, tensing immediately when she saw the strained look in Michael's eyes.
"Michael?" she asked worriedly.
"Fi, we need to go to the C.I.A office in Miami, Jesse asked for our help, he sounded worried."
They got ready and arrived at HQ in record time, immediately handed badges and guided to the back room just as Jesse had.
If they'd thought Jesse was worried before, they were dead wrong. He looked like he hadn't slept in days and his eyes had a haunted look in them, something neither Michael nor Fiona had ever seen with him.
"Jesse?" Michael asked cautiously.
"She's been kidnapped. I need your help. We know who, what, and why but now we need the manpower. We have to leave right away if you agree to help."
"Of course, but who is the 'we'?"
"Another agent, names Lawson, good guy but we need to leave now if we want to get there ASAP." Jesse rushed.
"Let's go."
I'm coming Dani Jesse thought.
As the medicine started to wear off, Dani became more and more aware of the ache that seemed to be everywhere and moaned. A sharp pain her head snapping back alerted her to reality as she realized someone'd slapped her.
"Wake up, it's time to begin." He growled as he picked up a particular large looking knife, Dani just rolled her eyes.
"What, think I won't use it?" he asked then quickly slashed her leg. Pain radiated through her body but she stood strong. He held the knife near her thigh and slowly sliced lightly, too deep and she would bleed out before he got a chance to torture her. She winced and let out a heavy breath, but didn't cry out as she wanted to. She got to the point where the pain got so bad that she blacked out, but didn't come back.
As soon as the cabin came into view, Jesse, Mike and Fi all hopped out of the car and grabbed the closest and best weapons they could. They agreed to cover the back and front doors as Mike and Fi were backdoor and Jesse and Lawson was front door.
They simultaneously counted to three and busted in, Mike and Fi finding Spencer and shooting him in the leg before he could shoot one of them. Jesse and Lawson had run through the rooms, finding Dani in the back room bleeding and unconscious. Lawson hurried to find something to cut the binds with as Jesse pulled out his pocket knife and began to cut. Sometime through this, Jesse was too far invested to notice, Lawson had helped free Dani. Jesse picked her up easily and carried her to the car where they found Michael and Fiona with an injured and very scared Jack and Spencer.
"I called Sam and he got us a suite where we can take Pearce and tend to her injuries." Michael said, a hint of worry in his tone.
"Thanks, I hadn't thought of that. What did you do to them Fi?" Jesse asked incredulously.
"Why do think it was me?" Fi asked, mocking hurtfulness.
"Never mind, let's get Dani home." Jesse said, smiling the first time in days.
