Lurking - Station 19 Fic

Victims

A/N: Y'all should know by now to expect graphics.....

Travis slowly opened his eyes, immediately wincing as he felt pain return to his head, sitting up straighter, beginning to realize he was sitting upright in a chair, groaning quietly.

"J-Jack?"

He could feel his hands tied together behind him, his ankles tied to the chair as well and as he looked around, he didn't recognize anything. It looked like he was in some sort of warehouse, but he didn't see anybody else around and it was completely quiet.

Travis frowned as he sat up, coming to his senses, looking around for Jack, asking for him quietly, starting to get worried, hoping he was alright.

"Jack?"

He started moving his hands a little and they brushed up against someone else's, quickly realizing Jack was tied up to a chair directly behind him.

Travis's eyes went wide. "Jack?!" He felt at his friend's hands, who wasn't moving, Travis able to feel the rope around Jack's wrists.

"Jack! Wake up, Jack. Wake up!"

He heard Jack groan softly and begin to stir and Travis perked up, holding his breath, quickly relieved when he heard him. "Jack!"

Jack groaned and lifted his head, opening his eyes tiredly, his head hurting from Zack having hit him, blood down the back of his neck. "Ugh, wh-where are we? T-Travis?"

"Jack, I-I dunno where we are, but we have to get out of here....c-can you reach my hands? Can you untie the rope?" Travis frowned, trying to look back at him, doing his best to try and pull at the rope around Jack's wrists but it was difficult.

Jack reached his hands back and soon felt around Travis's wrists as well, trying to do the same, starting to pull on the ropes, working to get him free.

"Ah damn, come on....al-almost." Jack said quietly under his breath as they each tried to get the other free, Jack finally managing to get Travis's ropes slightly loosened, continuing to pull.

"Come on, come on...."

Travis held his breath as he also tried to work on getting Jack's hands free, pulling the best he could, both gasping and looking up when they heard a door open, hearing footsteps and voices starting to come closer.

Travis looked up with big eyes as Zack and Jace came towards them, quickly looking scared, leaning back to try and be closer to Jack, wanting to be holding him or at least be touching him to feel comforted. Jack meanwhile looked up with narrow eyes, his lips curling up in anger, looking at Zack and Jace murderously.

Zack had his gun stuffed into his pants where they could each see it, Jace walking up beside him, looking quiet, Zack just looking happy, smirking.

"Whoa, looks like our little two fighters of fire are trying to help each other escape...! Can't have that....Jace."

Jace just wordlessly went over and grabbed at Jack's chair, who growled and tried to kick him, Jace dragging Jack away from Travis, who quickly shook his head no, teary-eyed, trying to look back.

"N-No. Jack...."

"You coward! You're a coward, Jace, you hear me?! Untie me so I can kick your ass again!" Jack growled and struggled against the ropes. "Let us go!"

Zack started laughing, his voice sounding cruel, looking as if he was enjoying every minute of this, Travis trying hard not to start crying, looking terrified.

Jace walked back over to Zack, leaving Jack where Travis couldn't look back at him and vice versa, the two of them spread far apart, unable to reach other now.
