"Just heard from Eli, Jocelyn is safe for now, she's resting up. Rye is missing, again." Dutch said. Parker sighed. "John...." She mumbled.

.........

"They put up a good fight."

"Wake up sinner."

"Be easier to just put a bullet in 'em."

"That is not the will of the father."

"Take her to John. He's ready to hear their confession." Rye blacked out as she was getting dragged away.

..........

(Trigger warning, talks of serious trauma)

She looked down at her hands to see she was tied to a chair. Her vision became clearer, she saw Hudson across the room. She heard John whistling his way in, he set something down before setting down the other thing on the table nearby.

She rose a brow as he stopped and looked over at Rye. "My parents were the first ones to teach me about the Power of Yes." John said, Hudson whimpered. "One night, they took me into the kitchen and they threw me on the ground and I experienced pain after pain after pain after pain..." John continued as he slammed down the stapler. "And when I didn't think i could take anymore. I did. Something broke free inside. I wasn't scared, I was clear." John said, as he turned on the lamp near her and it was pointed at her.

"I looked up at them and I started to laugh. All I could say was... Yes." John said, Rye shook her head, John noticed her mood changed. "I spent my entire life looking for more things to say 'yes' to." John said, She panicked when John grabbed her, which caused him to let go. "I opened up every hole in my body and when those were filled, I created more." John said, Rye let out a shaky breath as she realized the Bliss was taking affect on her. "But it was Joseph who showed me just how selfish I was being. Always receiving. Always taking. The best gift isn't the one you get. it's the one you give." John said, Rye gasped as she felt pain against her rib cage. "And giving takes courage. The  courage..." John froze when he realized that was a scar. "...Is to own you sin. To etch it on you flesh  and carry its burden..." John continued but Rye couldn't say silent.

"I carry enough burden!" Rye snapped.  John looked at her. "I know what's it's like to have parents to expect the good in you.... My father is still an abusive ass." Rye spatted, John was fully listening. "When I was six, his brother... his brother raped me." Rye said, as her lips wobbled in fear. "When I was sixteen... my father nearly killed me, hence the scar on my rib cage, That bastard caused me and my mother so much pain, she left me with that asshole, I fucking hate her for it, I still hate her for it, I knew I wanted to do good in my life, so I joined the deputies...." Rye said, as tears flow. "Would you kill your father if you were face to face?" John asked. "I would kill Billy Jones, in a fucking... heartbeat for all he did to me." Rye spatted.

"Wrath..." John mumbled.

Jocelyn sat up, she looked at her hands, she clenched them into a ball. She folded the blanket. "Alright time to chat with Eli." Jocelyn mumbled. She stopped someone, "Where can I find Eli?" Jocelyn asked. "Head d d down the hall. Eli's wantin' for ya there." The man told her. "Thank you." She said, He nodded at her.

She walked down the hall, enter the room. "Good to see ya standin'."  Eli said. "Well feels good to not feel like I was hit by a truck." Jocelyn remarked. "Been tryin' to track ya down, Winchester. Dutch speaks highly. Look, I'll get right to it. I know what you and your buddies been doing down south. You got the Father thinkin' twice now and that's good for us. We're bleedin' bodies up here, no two ways about it. I don't know if we'll be able to hold out more than a week at this rate. Times are desperate to say the least... I'm trying to get some footholds back, so I sent a  handful of Whitetails out to sabotage the Visitor  Center. The cult's using it as a depot for that Bliss shit.... But our guys walked right into a fucking trap... They've been taken hostage and we're up against the clock. If i just send another group in there, we risk losing everything... but you... you're something that cult ain't expecting. You're the only one I got around here who can handle this Dep... only one I trust to handle this. I'm countin' on ya. You'll need to go in quiet, cult gets wind you're around, they're liable to kill our people. There's a bow on the table if ya need it. Get out people back Dep, good luck." Eli explained.

Jocelyn hummed. "I won't let you don't, thanks for the offer on the bow but I'm used to mine." Jocelyn said. "I should've expected that, but it doesn't hurt to offer." Eli said.

As she walked out of the bunker. "So, you've met Eli. You're in good hands, now. He'll get you squared away with anything they need up there in the mountains. I'll still keep an eye on you, though. Rye isn't doing the greatest, John must've done a toll on her."  Dutch explained. "Damn it..." Jocelyn mumbled. "Talk soon, kid." Dutch said before he disconnected. 'Fuck..." Jocelyn spatted.

...........

She made it to the center. "Winchester? It's Eli.... I got eyes on ya.... rigged this  whole mountain with cameras... The Center's up ahead and crawlin' with Peggies. Be careful." Eli explained. She hummed. "Noted..." Jocelyn mumbled. She looked at her surroundings. "Like I said before.... If they spot ya. They'll kill our people so keep outta sight. There's a drain pipe nearby you can use to sneak up at 'em."  Eli explained. "Hmm drain pipe, thanks for the suggestion." Jocelyn said.

She shot an arrow and it went through both of the Peggies at the entrance. "Smooth smooth smooth." She mumbled.

...........

She released the final hostage, "They got two Whitetails at Hawkeye Tunnel...." One of them told her. "Fuck... Dep, they took tow of our people up to Devil's drop. Jacob's on the warpath trying to find the Wolf's den, If the Peggies find us, we don't stand a chance and if our guys don't give up the location they'll be tossed off that cliff. Haul ass Winchester... Devi'ls trap is south of you." Eli explained. "Alright.... booking it." She remarked as she quickly hopped on a fourwheeler and sped off.

She was almost there, "Hey Deputy, thought I'd check in, we've lost a couple a patrols last few days. Walker... you remember him?" Eli questioned. "Yeah, we you guys rescued me." Jocelyn said. "Well.. he's MIA now. Just... watch you back out there.. We can't afford to lose you too." Eli said. She sighed. Jacob was interested in her so bad, after hearing about Rye, she was too afraid that she would break.

She parked, she noticed the entrance was blocked. she noticed there was total of four peggies. "Alright Winchester, let's do this." She mumbled.

............. 

She sighed in relief as she watched the hostages walk away. "We lost some good people today... but you did the best you could. Helping us take care of our own is gonna have a big impact on morale. Maybe even get some more folks to join up too... Shit. I knew Tammy was wrong about you..." Eli said. "Now.. now, don't get ahead of yourself, she just being protective and I don't blame her." Jocelyn stated. "Anyways... congratulations, you're one of us now. If you got time, I got more work... Come see me in the Wolf's Den when you'r ready." Eli explained. "Will do.... see you when I come back." Jocelyn stated. "Also feel free to let Tammy and Wheaty know, if they have work, please let them know." Jocelyn said. "Will do." Eli said as he disconnect.

She hummed as she looked at scenery ahead of her. "Outstanding work, Dep. We're gonna take this g_ddamn mountain back from Jacob. I know it.... Pickin' up a lot of angry chatter from the cult. They're callin in chopper convoys to patrol for Whitetails. Keep your head on a swivel and an eye to the sky." Dutch explained.  "Lovely...." Jocelyn remarked.

"Hey, Parker here.... you should visit someone, he goes by Hurk... could be helpful." Parker said. "Alright, I'll swing by before heading back to the Wolf's Den." Jocelyn said. "Also tell Rye to stay strong.." Jocelyn added.
