"Sam."

"Sam."

"Sam!"

Sam slowly begins to open his eyes, his arms being behind him from him being handcuffed to a chair, his legs being tied bound on the legs of the chair. His ears ring, his arm hurting and in great pain from the stab wound, him only just receiving a cloth tightly around it. Susan is across from him in the same position, them being in a all black room with just a lift above them.

"Sam! Sam look at me!" Susan says, Sam slowly looking up at her. "Come on you have to stay with me, you have to."

"Dearest." Sam breaths a little. "Did they hurt you?"

"No." She cries while shaking her head. "They say...they say when the time runs out they're going to...take you away and kill you."

Sam looks over at the clock, seeing how it is six hours remaining. "Dearest...if I don't make it—"

"No!" Susan immediately shakes her head while she cries. "Don't say that! Don't say that!"

"Please listen." Sam says. "I love you you know that right?" Susan sobs out while her eyes close, her nodding her head. "Tell Max I love her too, and I'm sorry that there were times I wasn't there for her, times where I wasn't the father I was supposed to be. Our...times I would bail on our date nights. I wanted to fix it, I really did, to where we go out every Sunday."

"We can Sam, we will." Susan tells him.

"I wanted to....take a trip to Connecticut, at Browns High, where we first met." Sam smiles. "When your attitude was so off the charts."

Susan laughs lightly while she cries. "I secretly liked the attention from you."

Sam smiles a little while he laughs. "The perfect nostalgia, you made my life so much brighter, you and Max...make it so much brighter."

"Sam..." Susan trails off when his eyes slowly begin to close, his head slowly beginning to go down. "Sam! No! Stay with me! Sam! Sam no!"

Sam passes out, Susan continuing to cry while she screams for help.

Erica head hangs low as the door to the dark room opens, it being a black room with just a hanging light on the ceiling, a dull lightbulb. She goes to lean her head up, her seeing someone with a blue X eye mask come into the room, them standing over her and looking at her, her being tied to a chair.

She moves her hands around slowly in the cuffs, her glare setting on the pair of X-eyes.

"Five hours remaining." The deep voice states. "Your friends...your brother will not make it."

"Little do you know." Erica replies. "It's obvious you all feel threatened by me. Have to cut me to keep me weak, restrain me to keep me at bay. Hell even kidnap me...to keep me from making the operation go boom."

Erica's head turns to the side when a hard slap goes to her face, her tilting her head a little to pop her neck as she slowly looks at him.

"When the time hits zero, your brother will watch you die." The deep voice says.

"Hiding behind a mask." Erica shakes her head. "I'm so scared." She says sarcastically.

Erica let's out a pained grunt when they punch her hard in her wound, her teeth gritting in her closed mouth.
