I WANT TO BELIEVE

Chapter 8: Reveil

Marks
------------------------
All she saw was black. Pitch black. No more no less.
As the cloth was lifted from her eyes everything was bright. But her eyes didn't adjust. Now all she saw was white.
As the light was lifted from her eyes all she saw was a black room filled with a tinted window that people could only see in, not out. She looked in front of her and she saw a man. She recognized him. Not in a good way.
He was Alex Krychek.
She looked at him in fear and hate. So fiercely that he winced.
"Now no need to look at me like that," Kryacheck said standing up out of his chair.
"Ya know," she said acting confident, "I should have known it was you."
"Could you expect anything less?"
"Actually, maybe"
"Do you know why you are here," Kryacheck said pulling out a taser and putting it on its highest voltage.
"Do I know you?" She said, her voice shaking.
Kryacheck chuckled as he paced the room, circling her. He used the but of the taser to hit her across the face. "Don't joke with me. I have weapons. And people in the FBI who can kill your precious Mulder and Scully."
She looked at him not breaking her striking stare.
"Tell me," Kryacheck said playing with the taser, "How long have you been working with them?"
"I'm sure you already know since you have rats everywhere."
"Fine. Do you want to know the truth." Kryacheck stated sitting down getting only inches from her face.
"Always."
"I'm using you as bate. Recording me beating you and sending the tapes to Mulder and Scully. Almost like blackmailing them. Soon I will reveal your location or I will just give you back but with your memory wiped. If I give your location Mulder and Scully will come to your rescue."
"They are smarter then you think," she said putting her handcuffed hands on the table, "They are a loaded gun. So am I."
"Weapon three," Kryacheck said giving a sinister smile to her and reaching out the door and grabbing a bull whip, "This is to give you lashings, nothing naughty."
Two henchmen walked in to the room and grabber her under the armpits as Kryacheck yelled for them to record. He streched his wrist and told his henchmen to hang her up. The henchmen lifted her up and put the middle of her handcuffs onto a clamp about a foot off the ground. As she faced the wall Kryacheck grabbed the handle of the whip and took his first swing.
She cried out bloody murder after the first swing hit her back, cheek, and the back of her thighs.
--------------------------
Kryacheck took 45 more swings and during that time the whip hit her in both sides of her face, making her look like she used red foundation to contour that day, her back looked like she had been attacked by a bear and wolf, and her thighs looked like a mass murdering. With every blow she cried out hoping someone that wasn't on Kryacheck's side would hear. On about swing 30 she blacked out from the pain.
"And this is what my project looks like on day one!" Kryacheck said taking the camera and showing her injuries, "I assure you this is not the final show!" He had used a voice jammer to make sure they don't know it's him.
-----------------------------
He beat her for about a week, all the while, recording it. The whole week he whipped her. The whole week she couldn't stand. Literally.

An envelope was slid under the door into Mulder's office containing a tape.
