6:57am
Marlene was still working to get her hands out of the ropes but continually failed. Then the door opened & two men walked in. One of them was Dr. Blowhole, but she didn’t know who the other one was…but he looked rough. Marlene was yelling at Blowhole through her gag. The two of them stopped in front of her. Blowhole rolled his eyes & nodded at the other man. The other man backhanded Marlene in the face as hard as he could. Marlene grunted in pain, and then looked back to Blowhole with hatred & anger in her eyes, her face smarting. Blowhole reached over & took the gauze down out of her mouth. “What do 你 want!?” Marlene asked angrily. “It’s a shame that they got 你 into this mess.” Blowhole said. “Your point is?” Marlene asked, this time with a 更多 annoyed tone to her voice. “You see…When 你 came in and set the four of them free…you messed everything up. I tried doing some damage control, planted myself on the roof, I was sure the four of them would come together…but Skipper was the only one to 显示 up. Annoyed, I shot him in the shoulder which wounded him enough so I could put him in my helicopter and off we were…”
“That still doesn’t tell me what 你 want fr…Wait…Skipper’s alive?” Marlene asked. “Patience my dear. Patience. I’m getting to that…First, you’re going to do something for me.” Marlene scoffed. “Yeah, and why would I do anything for you?” Marlene asked. Blowhole took a cell phone out of his pocket. “Hey! That’s my cell phone!” Marlene cried. “Oh, nothing get past 你 does it?” Blowhole 说 sarcastically. “You’re going to tell Kowalski that everything is alright and that 你 got 首页 safely. Understood?” Blowhole told her. “And you’re gonna make me?” Marlene asked. Blowhole nodded at the man 下一个 to him again. Blowhole took a small talkie out of his 涂层, 外套 pocket and spoke into it. “Bring him in.” He commanded, then putting the talkie back in his pocket. Moments later, the door opened and a man was thrown in. He landed on his knees. It went 由 so fast Marlene didn’t get to see his face, but she still knew who he was. “Skipper?!” She exclaimed. His hands were bound behind his back, a gunshot wound to his left shoulder. “Let him go!” Marlene cried. Blowhole laughed. “I’m giving the orders here. If 你 don’t make that call,” Blowhole put a gun to Skipper’s head. “then I’m gonna have to get my janitors in here to clean his face off the floor.” Blowhole told her. “No Marlene…Don’t…do it…” Skipper said. Blowhole lifted the gun and smacked him across the face with all his strength.
“Skipper! Let him go!” Marlene exclaimed. She began to struggle to break free from the ropes that bound her, but she knew it was no use. She stopped struggling. “Fine. Give me the phone.” She 说 scowling at Blowhole. “I knew you’d see it my way.” Blowhole 说 with an evil grin. He gave the cell phone to the other man, who walked it over to Marlene. Blowhole gave her specific instruction. “Once he answers, 你 are to tell him 你 made it 首页 safely and that there is no reason for him to make any contact with you. Any mention of your true location 或者 anything you’ve witnessed today will result in his and your death. Understood?” Marlene nodded. “No Marlene! Don’t...” Blowhole backhanded him again. Skipper reacted with a grunt. “Shut up!” Blowhole yelled. The man dialed Kowalski’s number and put it on speaker. Moments later Kowalski answered.
“Hello?”
“Hey Kowalski. It’s me.”
“Are 你 okay? Did 你 make it back to your apartment alright?”
“Yeah. I’m fine.” She replied eyeing Blowhole, who still had the gun pressed against Skipper’s cheek.
“Uh…Marlene…There’s something I should tell you…Can we come to your apartment? This isn’t something I want to tell 你 over the phone.”
“No! I mean…I’m tired. Can we talk later?”
“Okay. I’ll tell 你 later. Bye Marlene.”
“Bye Kowalski…”
The line went dead.
“Very good Marlene. 你 almost had me convinced.” Blowhole 说 sarcastically.” What do 你 want with me?” She asked. “One moment…” He looked toward the man that had brought Skipper in. “Take him away.” He commanded. Once Skipper was gone, he continued. “Well Marlene, I am going to tell Kowalski, Private, and Rico that they will have 48 hours to find me. And that if they don’t, I will kill Skipper. But I want to finish all four of them off. So I’m sending 你 back to them and you’re going to lead them to me. You’ll tell them that I had 你 captured and 你 escaped. Being as gullible and naïve as they are they’ll believe you, follow 你 here, and I’ll get my revenge.”
“No! I won’t do it! You’re crazy!” Marlene exclaimed. Blowhole backhanded her again. Harder than last time, and unfortunately for Marlene, in about the same place. “That is where 你 are wrong. 你 will do exactly as I say. Remember whose life is at stake.” Blowhole reminded her. Marlene looked away choking back tears. Skipper was the closest friend she had. She couldn’t put his life on the line. She looked back to Blowhole with hatred in her eyes. “Why can’t 你 just tell them where 你 are yourself? Why give them a time limit?” She asked still choking back tears. “Because I like to watch them panic and so they don’t have enough time to come up with a plan. Any 更多 questions?” Blowhole told her. “Who’s he?” Marlene asked looking at the man that had come in with Blowhole, realizing he had not yet been identified. “This is Killer. He is a professional torturer. I figure when we send 你 to our little friends, we might as well make it believable. Besides there’s also a little revenge in there for ruining my first plot for revenge.” Blowhole explained.
“What?!” Marlene exclaimed.
“You were the reason that the four of them didn’t get blown to bits in that building! So, this torturing won’t just sell your little act, it will also bring me satisfaction of knowing I got back at 你 for meddling in things that don’t concern you! Your little 老友记 should never have gotten 你 involved. I suppose you’d better get started Killer. I can’t wait to see how she turns out. Blowhole left the room laughing, and Marlene’s pain filled afternoon began.

6:48am
Marlene woke up tied to a chair, gagged. She slowly opened her eyes. She took in her surroundings; she was alone in a room. The room had white walls with a high ceiling, and…Marlene stopped breathing for a moment. Her eyes widened. On the 墙 to her left was a big red stain. She didn't need to ask what it was. She frantically looked around, trying to find way to free herself. There was nothing. She started to panic even 更多 when she saw cuffs hanging from the ceiling, with a whip hanging on the 墙 a few feet from that on her right. She tried to 移动 her feet, but looked down to see that they were tied to the legs of the chair. What she saw 下一个 seemed to stop her heart. There were wires connected to the chair, she followed where they led slowly with her eyes. She gasped through the gag, the wires led to a big switch. She knew exactly where she was. She was in a torture chamber.

12:02pm
Kowalski & Rico were busy discussing how they were going to find Blowhole and Private was listening carefully. Suddenly there was a slow knock on the door. Kowalski went over and answered it & saw Marlene standing at the door. “Oh my GOD!” Kowalski exclaimed. Marlene looked as though she had been tortured. She was bruised, & had a bad cut on her head. Her hair was in tangles & mats & here clothes were ripped. Kowalski caught her as she fell into his arms. Rico & Private went to go help Marlene in. She was limping, sweating, & her breathing was heavy. “What happened to you!?” Private asked as the three of them set her on their leather couch. But Marlene had passed out. “Kowalski! I thought she called 你 telling 你 she got 首页 safely!” Private said. “She did! I don’t understand…I…I don’t understand…” Kowalski told them. Rico put a cold wet cloth to Marlene’s head. They couldn’t even begin to guess what had happened to Marlene.
