Desperate Measures

Chapter Three

Amanda and her new friends had been running on empty ever since they had reached the Washington, D.C. airport. They still had an hour to go before boarding the international flight.

Meanwhile, they had stopped at one of the restaurant's counters near their flight gate. Amanda had finished her cheeseburger, fries, and a medium diet Coke. Her mind wondered about her husband Lee having been married for almost 12-plus years. He had been having a hard time at first with the marriage.

Since he was mostly a bachelor, most of his life he worked for Billy Melrose. After he was able to break the single ties. Lee grew into a marriage and Amanda King.

Damion asked Amanda whether she was fine or not breaking her concentration. With the shaking of her tired head. No doubt she will be falling asleep quickly on the plane.

"I am okay Damion. Just concerned for Lee and the doctor that is defecting to the United States." She said while finishing up the last of her diet soda. It was at this point there was an announcement that their flight would be boarding in 25 minutes.

It was at this point that everyone needed to get their personal belongings together before heading to the flight. It was going to be long.

WARNING….

Please be advised that this part of the chapter will deal with the torture of the characters.

Lee Stetson had screamed out at the Chinese officers whipping him along with Doctor Lee Woo Chin. While his family had been moved to another location.

Colonel O'Mere Woo had given the order to begin the torture of the American agent. Even though the underground soldiers bringing them here had no idea what exactly was going to happen with the Americans and defectors.

Laying down on a flat table. Lee was naked with electrodes connected to the bottom of his feet, and legs, near his groin and chest.

He screamed out at the Chinese officer. "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO US?" he related with his plea.

Colonel Woo had no mercy since it was his job to try and retrieve the information from the Americans for the most part. "WHY? I am here to get information out of you. I don't care what happens to you in general along with the goddamn defector!" he remarked loudly in front of his soldiers.

Pulling on his bindings. He saw one of the officers grab some type of a needle with fluid. He had the feeling that he was going to be given the drug while the electrodes were turned on.

"PLEASE STOP THIS ALREADY!" Lee cried out with one of the younger soldiers who decided to grab his groin to have Lee cry out louder before the Colonel told the young soldier to stop so that they could start with the electrodes.

Colonel Woo moved over to the device to connect all of the leads to be turned on with the electric current at 100%.

With a shake of his head. Colonel Woo started the device slowly before reaching the maximum number to hurt the human being.

Lee's body moved off the slab table as he cried out from the circuit going through his body. His heart rate had jumped sharply along with his blood pressure. Sweat showed up on his brow and mostly his chest.

Lee tried to control his emotions with his both fists in a tight ball. He wasn't able to control himself with another voltage going through his body.

Even his groin felt like it was going to explode. Even though he wasn't able to do a goddamn thing at the moment.

Another volt, he had passed out from the pain. Colonel Woo checked his eyes to see that for sure he had passed out. He was hoping the drug that was given to him would take effect. However, he wasn't working and this made the colonel even madder.

He told his officers to take the American to his quarters. "Just make sure that he's being watched by two soldiers on the other side of the door." He ordered with the younger soldiers understanding the order. Even though one of them didn't like the fact that the madmen were using this type of torture to retrieve information from the Americans.

Ten minutes later inside Lee's quarters.

Doctor Lee Woo Chin had placed a wet white cloth on the brow of Lee Stetson. He was now dressed in a blue gown for now after one of the younger soldiers named Goo Pa Tee he found it and had placed it on Lee for now.

Moments later Lee started to come around after passing out.

Opening up his pained eyes. Lee will say the following to the doctor. "What had happened to me?" he tried to breathe with a great deal of pain inside his chest.

Doctor Woo Lee Chin had been concerned for the agent. He came to get him out of China and back to the United States with the information he had in his brain for the most part. "Colonel Woo had tortured you, Lee Stetson. I have no idea just how long you're going to be able to stay in your quarters?" he says calmly.

In a soft tone of voice. Lee will say to the doctor. "We need to get out of here before I wind up a burnt lobster!" he remarked with a slight tone of a joke. Even though the doctor had no idea what Lee had been talking about.

"I will try Mr. Stetson. Even though I will need to know just where is my wife and family?" he cried out with concern. He looked around to check for any escape routes.

It was moments later with the change in the watch at the door. Both men didn't realize that the two of the younger Chinese soldiers would be helping them get out of the complex and somewhere safe.

Goo Pa Tee along with his young partner will come in with their rifles to say. "Get him ready for travel Doctor. We are going to get the both of you out of here now before the Colonel realizes what the hell is going on. He's currently in his room trying to sleep after being given orders to try again with the torture." Goo Pa Tee said with anger in his tone.
