Title: Missing

notes and summary: see part one
Lucy drifted in and out of consciousness. The brief moments she was awake the historian noted she was bond to a chair. She heard voices but couldn't make out any words.
A sharp noise brought Lucy fully awake. She was dazed as she stared at her surroundings. It took her a full moment to recognize Garcia Flynn as he knelt in front of her. Once she did recognize him everything came flooding back. Lucy raised her hands to fight only to remember they were tied.
"The man who attacked you is dead."Flynn stated coldly. "I personally ended his life. I left specific instructions that you were not to be harmed."
Lucy only had the energy to glare; no words would come.
"Were you able to locate John Rittenhouse?"Flynn demanded.
Lucy shook her head wincing at the pain and nausea the movement brought.
"That is..."Flynn began but was interrupted by a loud crash.
Lucy turned to see the front door was now on the floor and Wyatt, and Denise Christopher stood in the doorway with guns raised. They were flanked by a military team. She'd never been so happy to see them. Beside her Flynn cursed and fired several rounds in the direction of her rescuers. Everyone scattered. One of Flynn's men started to untie Lucy but Flynn pulled him away.
"Leave her!"Flynn ordered. "Get to the mothership!"
"Flynn!"Wyatt shouted.
Lucy ducked and protected herself as best she could as Flynn's men laid cover fire for Anthony to get the time machine ready. A few minutes later the gunfire stopped and there was a strong rush of wind as the time machine left.
"Damn!"Wyatt cursed as he saw the mothership wink out of existence.
Wyatt took off at a run reaching Lucy's still form in seconds. What he saw made his heart stop. She was covered with cuts and bruises, blood and dirt. Her dress was ripped. She'd been consciousness when they arrived but now Lucy's head was slumped forward.
"Lucy?"Wyatt called as he began to cut her free. "It's Wyatt, can you hear me?"
No response as Rufus skidded to a stop next to them. The tech knelt next to the historian gently pulling her hair out of her face so they could see her injuries.
"My God, did Flynn do this?"Rufus asked angrily.
"Him or one of his guys it's all the same."Wyatt responded tightly. "They're all dead when I get a hold of them."
"Let's get her home."Christopher ordered quietly.
As gently as he could Wyatt scooped Lucy into his arms. The group left the small building and got back into the SUV's. Lucy didn't wake and Rufus climbed in the back seat next to them and shut the door. He had a first aid kit in his hands and opened it. Wyatt raised a questioning eyebrow as Rufus took out a splint and a brace.
"Her left wrist is broken."Rufus explained as he began to apply the splint to that wrist.
"Bastard."Wyatt cursed Flynn angrily as Rufus continued to attend to Lucy's wounds. "Soon as we get back we're going after Flynn."
"No argument from me."Rufus replied.
The SUV's arrived at the airport and the group boarded Mason's private jet. Wyatt was more than a little worried that Lucy didn't wake the entire trip home. He had to remind himself that the important thing was that she was home. Soon Jiya would track down Flynn and Wyatt would bring Lucy some justice. Not that anything would erase what Lucy had endured but it was a start.
