Alex raised his fist to hit  Gerald and again , and grunted when his fist made contact with his face.

It had been three hours since they had started his torture, three hours of constant pain for Gerald  and yet,  they had made little to know progress in getting him to speak.

Gerald was bleeding and  was bloody all over. His had a black eye,  his lips were cracked and bleeding,  several broken bones and multiple cuts,  all over his body.

Alex raised his hand again to punch Gerald again but a voice stopped him. " Enough,  " the voice of Dominic said while he stepped out of the shadows surrounding the underground warehouse where he watched everything that had happened and was still happening.

" It would seem that we have been found. About half an hour ago,  I sensed a wolf and a human approach this place. If I'm not mistaken,  I believe that they're your rescue team. "

Gerald's eyes widened ' Damn it Tyler,  what have you gotten yourself into, ' Gerald cursed in his head.

" Alex,  you stay here too, and unlike last time however ,  at least try to identify the target. "

Alex sighed as he stepped back, " Don't worry,  you get to live,  for now that is, " Dominic said as he turned to walk away. " It isn't time for me to reveal myself yet,  so,  until then,  see you,  " and with that he disappeared.

Alex sighed as he walked to a chair nearby and fell against  it,  " You know,  you're made of tough stuff  to have survived as long as you did.  Most wolves would have given up by now,  and I must say that I am impressed old man,  " Gerald grinned " And don't you forget it,  " he said before he fell unconscious.

Alex chuckled,  " Yeah right,  " and he also fell asleep.

It was late at night when Mr. David assembled the "rescue  team" in the kitchen Tyler stood at his left hand side,  and Emily,  his girlfriend,  who had arrived an hour prior,  and had been informed about everything was at his right hand side,  while Alan stood on the other side of the table. 

He laid out all the blue prints and notes ,  every little tiny piece of information that he had been able to divulge about the warehouse they would be raiding later that night , with the help of Jack of course.

" Here's how this thing is going to be  , " he started,  " Alan ,Emily and I will go in first since we're the most experienced ,  abled people in out group,  " he said,  putting emphasize on ' abled ' while looking at Jack who hadn't stopped complaining about how unfair it was that he wasn't able to participate in the rescue mission.

" You two, " Mr. David pointed at Tyler and Mike,  will provide cover for us, since you're a little new to this thing. Oh,  and Mike,  listen to Tyler,  he may be new,  but,  he still has more experience than you. "

Mike opened his mouth to respond but quickly shut it after a quick glare from his father. 

Mr. David nodded as he turned around and headed to the living room," Now for the weapons.  Mike raised an eyebrow,  " What are you talking about,  " but was silenced when his father walked to a bookshelf in the corner of the room and pulled out a book.

However, much to his chagrin,  and the shock of everyone in the room,  the shelf turned in around and revealed an armoury.

Many guns such as the M3. 45 calibre submachine gun, shotguns , combat pistols,  stun guns ,rifles and so many more , long ranged weapons like spears,  bows and arrows and a few hunting knives here and there. Some grenades and at least one missle launcher.
