Seeking Revenge
"Mom! Dad! I'm home!" Those were only words he got to say before a cloth full of chloroform clamped over his mouth. Lucas couldn't register what was going on, but in the back of his mind he knew his parents weren't home.
Lucas woke up in a small room, similar to a dungeon. The walls were made of cold, hard stone and the chandelier, which hung in the middle of the room, did little to provide light and warmth. Lucas was shivering but he found he could not move his hands, as they were tiedd behind his back. His feet were bound in the same way and chained to a small hook on the floor. As he opened his eyes, he could slowly begin to make out two other figures across the room.
"Mom! Dad! Is that you?!" He screamed to the unconscious pair which was similarly tied before him.
Nathan heard a small voice in the back of his head and his eyes darted open with the thought that Lucas was crying for help. He slowly took in his surroundings and saw Lucas' figure staring back at him.
"Dad!" Lucas' voice was throaty and almost indistinguishable.
"'Lucas! Are you allright?" Nathan couldn't help but flip into father mode at times like these, which, unfortunately, happened alot.
"I'm okay, dad. I'm just really cold. Is mom with you?"
Nathan tried to get up but found himself confined by the ropes. He could only move his head. He saw a glimpse of red hair beside him laying on the floor and his heart started pounding faster and faster.
"Kristin!" He tried to get her to respond so that he could at least know she wasn't hurt. But she didn't move at all.
"Mom! Please wake up!" Lucas was incredibly hoarse but managed to scream the words out loud enough to get a small moan from his mother.
"That's it, sweetie. Wake up!" Nathan tried to coax her out of her unconscious state.
"Wha--?" Kristin could not get up or sit down. Her hands were tied behind her back and she was laying sideways on the damp floor. Her feet were tied extremely tight and bound to the wall.
"Kristin! Are you okay?"
"I think so. I can't move, though. Nathan, where's Lucas?"
"I'm right here, mom!"
"Oh Thank God! What happened to us? Where are we, Nathan?"
"I don't know. And something tells me we don't want to wait around to find out."
As if timing couldn't have been more perfect, the door to the room slowly opened, revealing a row of eight men, all dressed in black robes and carrying guns, followed by a tall man wearing a black suit. His face was handsome, but his features reeked of evil intent. His jagged nose was met with a short, black, yet pointed mustache, which curled at the ends. . He silently stared at his three captives while his hazel eyes swirled with hints of excitement and mischief.
"Welcome to my castle. I trust you'll find our services to your liking."
"Who the hell are you?!!" Nathan was furious and it was clear by the look on his face that he was two seconds away from strangling that man. However, his chains left him with no other choice but to struggle.
"Allow me to introduce myself, Mr. Bridger. My name is Niles Sinclair. Surely you must have heard of me."
Nathan's face went pale. He had definitely heard that name before. It was the man who, just a few years ago, had destroyed the UEO's most distinguished and most expensive underwater mining colony. The man who killed thousands of innocent scientists at an oceanography institute at the switch of a button. The man who had allegedly died seven months ago in a suicide bombing near New Cape Quest.
"But you're supposed to be dead!"
"Oh, I assure you, Mr. Bridger. I am very much alive. And I plan to follow along with my plans to avenge those imbecils at the UEO and show them once and for all that they should have never messed with me!"
"But you've already caused enough pandemonium. Don't you think you've taken this revenge out on too many innocent people? How many more lives is it going to take?!"
"Clearly you have misunderstood my intent. I have given up with my old ways of terrorizing civilians and nameless people who are of no use to me. No, I have a much better plan in store for you."
This time Kristin jumped into the conversation. She knew who she was dealing with, as well, having heard about Sinclair on the news.
"What do you want from us?!"
Sinclair looked at her and a fiendish smile swept across his face.
"Well, if it isn't the lovely Mrs. Bridger! How delightful of you to join in! But I'm afraid we're going to have to cut this conversation short. Looking at you has left me speechless."
He stared at her with a smirk. HIs eyes roamed around every corner of her body and left her incredibly uncomfortable. Kristin hid her inevitable fear in the back of he rmind and gave him the coldest, most resilient stare she could possibly muster.
"Go to hell, Sinclair."
"My, aren't you a fiery one. Just the way I like 'em. I'll bet you're fiery in bed, too. But I'll find out soon enough." This last comment made Kristin struggle with her bonds and Nathan's heart leap up to his throat.
"Leave her the fuck alone, Sinclair!"
Sinclair snapped his glance towards Nathan. "Dear me, Mr. Bridger. Is that any way to speak in front of your son?"
He turned his attention towards Lucas. At this point, Lucas was scared for his parents and his own life. He knew what Sinclair was capable of. He just didn't know why Sinclair would want them as prisoners. Lucas looked at Sinclair disgustedly.
"Actually, Mr. Sinclair, I think you'd better listen to what my dad just said and leave my mother alone."
Nathan smiled proudly at Lucas, then frowned at Sinclair.
"Listen Sinclair, why don't you just tell us why the hell you've got us locked up here?!"
"All in due time, Mr. Bridger. All in due time. Until then, I'd like to transfer you to your new quarters. I'm sorry for the horrible conditions you were placed in, but it was the only room available while we prepared for your arrivals."
He motioned back at his men with his left hand. Three of them went to Nathan, three to Lucas, and two to Kristin.
"I'm sorry to have to do this again, but I can't risk letting you escape while we transport you."
At this point, one of the men held up a cloth at Lucas' face, another at Nathan's face, and another Kristin's face. The three were completely unconscious in just a few seconds.
"Sweet dreams!" Sinclair laughed at the sight of his three captives succumbing to his power.
They were each untied and carried off to seperate corridors of a seemingly unending hallway.
Sinclair walked into a room decorated in pink and gold, and blanketed with roses. Rose petals were draped across the white satin sheets of the king size bed. He saw Kristin asleep on the bed. She had been placed there by his men. He walked over to her and sat on the bed, admiring her still sleeping figure.
"Soon I'll get rid of that no good husband of yours, and take over everything he wrongfully has. I was supposed to be the captain of Seaquest. I was supposed to be the UEO's golden boy. I was supposed to marry you. Not that creep. The UEO made a big mistake in rejecting me. Nobody rejects Niles Sinclair!"
He clenched his teeth to control his temper.
"No matter. I've taken care of the UEO. And once I take care of Bridger, they'll be begging me to replace him. And I'll take his place in your heart as well."
He chuckled evilly to himself and stared at Kristin.
"Sleep well, my Kristin, for tomorrow is a day you'll never forget. We will be together. I'll see to that."
He picked up her hand, bent down to kiss it, and placed it gently back on the pillow. He got up slowly and walked out the door.
Lucas slowly opened his eyes to a bright light. The bed underneath him was surprisingly comfortable, except for the fact that his hands were tied above his head. He looked around the room. There were two chairs across the room to his right, one of which was hooked up to a machine with various displays and buttons. He looked to his left and saw two men standing on opposite sides of the wall.
"Hey, what's going on here! Let me go!"
The men did not budge, nor did they even look at him. All of a sudden, a door opened, and Nathan was dragged in by two guards and another one holding a gun at him.
"Dad!! Dad, are you okay?"
"Lucas! Stay calm, everything's gonna be alright!"
"Dad! where's mom?"
"I don't know."
The two guards threw Nathan in the chair connected to the machine. They hatched the metal cuffs on his arms and legs, even though he struggled violently. Sinclair walked into the room seconds later.
"Well, gentlemen. So good fo you to join us. Please, make yourselves comfortable."
That last statement was said with an evil snicker. Nathan tried uselessly to free his hands and feet, and Lucas' fear escalated when he realized his father's futile attempts. Nathan tried one last time before sinking in and releasing a huge sigh.
"Okay, Sinclair. Enough with the games. What do you want? Is it money? Do you want to hold us for ransom?"
"If only it were so simple, Bridger. You do realize that I have control over what happens to you and your precious family, don't you? Don't try my patience."
Nathan kept his mouth shut, knowing that any mistake could cost him their lives. Sinclair walked up to the machine next to Nathan's chair and pressed a few buttons. The machine became alive with readings and beeping sounds. They leveled out to moniter a steady heartbeat, namely Nathan's.
"You do know I was next in line for the position of Captain, right? When Stark took over, I helped her become a little...how shall I put this....eccentric...and sent her on her way to resignation and revenge. But of course, the UEO had you to back them up didn't they. Sure, they said I was qualified and gave me all sorts of excuses as to why they couldn't hire me. But then they went and got you. You didn't even want the position. Do you know what that caused me? The years of repressed anger! Well, no matter. I've got you right where I want you. Let me explain how this works, Bridger. That sound you hear is your pulse. I'm surprised you've managed to keep it this calm. But that will soon change. I promise. After my last attack, I sat down and wondered about what I would do once I had you in my clutches. what is the one thing that would make me feel better for all the pain you've caused me? Then it hit me. Clear as daylight, I knew exactly what I would do to get back at you and the UEO in one blow. I thought I would kill you, but that would be too easy. I mean, where's the fun in that? It would be over too quick and I wouldn't enjoy it nearly as much. I thought I would attack the Seaquest and get rid of you and the UEO's prized ship, but then I wouldn't be able to take over afterwards, and I have every intention of becoming the SeaQuest's captain."
He took a few steps back and examined the terrified look on Nathan's face.
"I thought I'd make you suffer before I slowly and painfully kill you."
Lucas couldn't hold his fear and anger any longer.
"No!! Don't hurt him! I swear I'll kill you if you do!"
Sinclair turned around to face Lucas.
"Oh, Nathan. Isn't that adorable. You've got Junior here trying to protect you. Well, let me tell you something, my boy. I wouldn't worry about your dear old dad if I were you. You should be worried about your own well- being. After all, how do you hurt the person you hate the most, if not through the people he loves?"
Now Lucas was even more terrified and this time, it clearly showed through in his eyes. Sinclair had a plan, and he wasn't squeamish about hurting women and children. This could be bad. Very bad.
