《30 - I Can't Lose Him》

"You cannot be serious, Chris!" Maria snapped as they stormed down the hall from the security room. "This is suicide!"

"I cannot stand by and let this girl die!!" Chris snapped. "Misery's girl was a blood slave, I'm not gonna let Alexis Dorame meet that same fate, or Emma Roberts's fate!!"

"And I can't let you meet your father's fate!" Maria shouted, grabbing his arm to stop him.

He stopped and stared at her.

"I cannot let you let your mother suffer again," She said.

"And I cannot let this girl die. If they said show up alone, then I have no choice I have to," Chris snapped.

Before Maria can argue, Chris's phone rang.

He sighed and answered as Maria crossed her arms in frustration.

"Cerulli," He said once he answered.

"Agent Parente is gone," Dr. Balz said.

"What do you mean he's gone?" Chris asked.

"He stepped out to make a call, never came back. We're with hospital security," he said.

"Okay, me or Agent Brink will be right there. HQ has a meeting for us, but if an agent is down then this is an exception," he said, and hung up. "Angelo's missing."

"Missing?" Maria asked.

"I have to go to the hospital. Keep me updated on what Manson says," He said, and ran off.

Maria sighed and went to make a call as she hurried to her car.

Angelo groaned as he started to wake up, his head throbbed with pain.

He went to sit up, but immediately felt dizzy and fell back as his vision slowly started to clear.

He looked around to realize he was in some sort of basement. It was dark and had a musky odor, kind of like a muddy beach smell.

"Fuck," he groaned as he rolled to his side. "Where am I?"

He then noticed something laying a few feet away from him.

He scrunched his eyes more and realized it was a person.

He was able to sit up and then realized his hands were tied tightly together.

He grunted and started to crawl a bit until he regained some feeling to his legs.

He then got to the person and by the hair recognized her.

"Alex," he gasped, as he turned the intern to her back, eyes widening.

She had bite marks on her arms and she had bruises on her face, neck and also arms as well. She thankfully had her clothes intacts, though they were dirty and a bit torn. But what shocked Angelo more were the small red dots on the inside of her elbows, looking like syringe punctures.

Her kidnappers were drugging her...

"Oh god.... What did they do to you?" he asked, shocked, then gently started to shake her. "Alex... Alex, can you hear me? Wake up."

Angelo took her pulse, fingers gently pressed against her neck, and she then softly groaned and moved.

"You're alive, thank goodness" he sighed, looking around. "Its gonna be okay. I not gonna let them hurt you anymore."
