Thanks to JT's technological skills he was finally able to track the trio down. A team of twenty helped him and Evan track through every CCTV camera and facial recognition system so they could get it done as fast as possible. The unit was already on the move waiting instructions of a location. They were told to head to Auburn NY.
Catherine was in so much pain, Alex had personally tortured her, not for information but for pleasure. Catherine had never felt so much pain in her life, she didn't thought it could be possible. 'I wonder if this is how it feels for Vincent whenever he changes...' her mind wondered. She had heard the screams and cry from Tess and Vincent, 'stay strong please for me both of you' Cat had so much of big heart that would take their pain on top of her own to keep them safe.
"CATHERINE!..." Vincent was shouting her name in pain, focusing on only her. She was his gem to him, could keep him calm and in control emotionally, physically and mentally. Muirfield took advantage of his advanced healing abilities, taking bloods, bone marrow, even a shaving of bone from him to analayze. He was tired but he wasn't giving up. He stayed strong for her...
Tess was struggling to hold on to her will. She had developed a fever and was being sick in her cell which made the torture worse, yet she wasn't getting it as bad as Catherine and Vincent since she was no use to the organization. She prayed JT would find her before she couldn't hold on any longer, her body was weak she couldn't even stand.
The WhiteLight unit was searching the 5 mile radius for them with no luck. JT and Evan insisted on being with them working from the mobile swat van with all the computers he needed, the rest of the team back in New York kept working away. No one had slept in 3 days looking for them. They were family and no one gives up that easily on them when they are capable of finding them they just needed to look for the hard to discover clues.
At night the trio were next to each others cells. They were all chained so no one could try to escape. Vincent sensed Tess weakening state, he estimated she had 38 hours left before she would perish. He tried to break free from his chains every day but was no use, he was weaker everyday, he would last the longest because of his ability although he thought different if anything were to happen to Catherine or Tess.
"Cat, Tess don't give up stay strong. Every time they do mentally put yourself somewhere safe to keep your mind of the pain." He had to keep them as safe as he could from afar. Tess could barely speak only Vincent could hear her whispers. All she said was JT over and over again.
"Oh how I have special plans for you Catherine, what do you think of about becoming a beast like Vincent but more hungry to kill innocent people? How would you like that?" Alex's twisted smile made her feel sick. Catherine tried to rattle her chains with all her might and anger but it wasn't enough to make Alex flinch.
"NO!" Vincent screamed in protest, he didn't want that life for Catherine, not the pain and guilt of being a beast like him, or worse... Alex laughed all the way back through the door leaving them all to rot.
"I love you Vincent..." Catherine said before she passed out from exhaustion her body was beginning to give up as well. Seeing Cat in that way, it lit a fire in Vincent. 'No one does this to the people I love!' he thought to himself. He pushed and pushed himself to break free, using all his might, pushing himself well over his limits with a loud growl he broke free from his chains. He broke the cell doors, picking up Tess on one shoulder and Catherine on the other he began to run, he was to weak again to blur he had to heal again which wouldn't take long.
The alarms were going off in the compound, calculating where the soldiers were coming from and managing to avoid them, he wouldn't be to fight many off with both women on his shoulders. He managed to make it outside but there was a barded wired electric fence around the compound, he put both women down to look for the source of the fencing, he had 30 seconds to switch it off and escape before the soldiers made it them. He was able to blur now which made all the difference, it was only 100 yards away from him. Vincent disabled it and got back to them in time and was able to blur away before they were caught.
He managed to make it to some sort of cemetery near a road. He looked for street cameras knowing JT would be looking for them as hard as he could. He spotted one a mile up the road waving at it, being carefully not to attract Muirfield to their location, moving zig-zag from different streets hoping JT would pick up his pattern. He had spelt VCT through his line of directions.
"I got them!" JT was hyped up finding them. They are between French Avenue and Letchworth Street. Come on hurry up!" He was getting anxious, he had seen Tess unconscious on his shoulders. Vincent decided to hide the women in the bushes so he could keep them safe for the time being. He kept running forming the pattern, pushing himself to keep doing it . He began to sense JT's heartbeat, 'he was close thank god' he followed where the heart beat was coming from when finally spotting the squad of cars and vans.
"Glad you could join us" Vincent said as he hoped in telling the driver where to head for the women.
"Glad you're alright man we've been so worried." Meaning himself and Evan. A couple minutes later they arrived to fetch the girls, who were thankfully still safe and still unconscious. Evan and Vincent seen to them in the van checking their vitals. Tess had developed a serious lung infection from the cells and torture, she was struggling to breathe. Cat was dehydrated with the flu from the cold conditions which could take a turn for the worst if need treated soon. They needed to get her somewhere to get her seen to as soon as possible. The closest hospital was over 50 minutes away, they wouldn't risk it.
They had arranged for a helicopter to take them back to city as fast as possible for the five of them, especially for Cat and Tess. The helicopter ride took an hour and a half back to the city and to New York General Hospital. They made it just in time, they were both admitted and treated quickly as possible thanks to Vincent meeting his mentor upon entering with them. Tess had developed fluids in her lungs which the doctors needed to drain out so she wouldn't drown. They both got lucky. But it was all far from over...
