Hack, torture, and a very personal message

-Marie's POV-

I scream in pain as Randy kept cutting my arms, legs, chest and even face. I tried hard to free myself but the more I tried the deeper he cut. He kept yelling for me to tell him who Shadow was and how if I kept trying to move he would made sure I bleed to death. If I didn't know any better I would think this was personal.

"Number 10" he counted as he grabbed a different blade and cut deep but this time in my shoulder. Pain snaked all across my upper arm and shoulder. My body was screaming out in agony. I tried to free myself from the leather belts. I twisted and turned but it only added more to the pain. The belts felt like they were digging through my skin, my wrists burned as if someone had dipped my hands and wrist into a pot of boiling water. I could feel blood dripping from my wrists I was sure the belts had cut through my skin.

At this point my body is losing the last bit of energy it held. I couldn't take it anymore, the pain was unbearable. I am sure I will die in this chair. But I will not talk. I refuse to betray my kitty. As the blood leaves my body my eyes struggle to remain open. I try to keep them from shutting or else I am sure I will not ever wake up. I open my eyes and let out a muffled scream again as Randy once again cuts my skin. I am sure if it wasn't for the constant pain of the knife digging deeper in my body I would close my eyes and never wake up again.

-Shadow Cat's POV-

Michael and I looked for AJ but he was gone. I know it all looked like he was the one who set me up and betrayed me which Michael strongly believed but I am having trouble believing it. There had to be more to the story, there just had to be. AJ would never betray me, would he? If he did then I need to know why? Why would he do this to me? I decided to head to the tech room or the nerd lab as I like to call it to look for Matt. My man Matt is the one who has helped me find and tracked all my targets so I can get the job done quickly and now I needed to track one of our own.

"Matt track AJ's cell, I want to know his exact location and I want it now." I commanded Right then all of our cell phones ring. A notification of a live newscast. That's odd and why is it transmitting to everyone. "They were hacked! The news were hacked and it's being transmitted to every cell phone in Canada. Shadow you might want to see this" Cole speaks nervously. I look down at my cell and click on the livestream and at that moment my heart stops.

"Randy!" Michael speaks I look up towards him and I can tell he noticed my panic. I knew this could not be good. He makes signs for me to breathe and I do trying to control myself. At that moment Randy begins to speak and I quickly look back down at the phone that was clenched tightly in my hand. "Shadow Cat, Oh Shadow Cat. Do I have your attention? Yeah, I am sure I do." At his words my jaw clench and I grind my teeth in anger gripping my phone even tighter. My breathing becomes heavy. "Guess who is not dead? Yup you really should have double checked before leaving, shocker, right?" I swear when I get my hands on him, he will be and this time I will make sure to double check.

"Well, let's make this simple I got something you love, something you can't live without and you have something I want. Your identity... Your life." That mother fucker. I swear I am going to rip his head of his body. I can feel all eyes on me as he speaks. I can feel anger taking a toll on me and I can feel myself lose control. No stop! Breathe Shadow think of Marie. Marie wouldn't want this, stay in control you can do it.

The room goes silent as they all watch their phones the only thing heard were my deep breaths. "In exchange I will release the one person you love the most. The one you are willing to change your entire life for." I see Randy turn around and then speak "Marie" as he says her name the camera moves and there, she was behind him. My princess.

My princess had been tied up like a dangerous mental patient restrained from moving. Her hair was wet and bloody, she had multiple bruises and swelling on her cheek and a badly swollen eye. "Track them. Find me where the live stream is being transmitted from. I want to know where he is, who he is with, what kind of security they have and I want my princess. Find them now!" I yell making everyone stop staring at their phones and getting in their computers and begin working.

My heart hurts. I am sure it was broken in a million pieces. I can see my princess is hurt and I couldn't protect her. I failed her. "So, what do you say Shadow Cat your life for theirs." I can see randy give a smug smile. Did he say theirs? He knows. "You heard right I said theirs. See I'm not sure if you know but Marie is pregnant." I see the camera switch back towards Marie and soon after it zoom in showing her stomach and for the first time I see it.

My eyes begin to water as I can't contain the tears. For the first time I see the baby bump. I get angry on all the moments I missed. He knew even before me. That mother fucker knew of my child before me. I could have been there I could have been at the appointments watching as my baby grew inside her stomach but I wasn't. I was dumb and I missed it. I missed it all.

Randy then points at her stomach. "That is your baby she is carrying or at least it was. I don't know we'll see how I feel later." I have to do something he is going to kill them I have to stop this. "Find them now God damn it. I want his head!" I scream in panic.

"You have one week to make a choice. Well, if she even lasts that long. And know that with every hour that passes and you make me wait, the less blood she will have." Less blood what does he mean? He doesn't really mean- My thoughts are cut short when I see him pull out a knife and walk closer to her.

"No! God damn it find me that fucking location!" No not my princess please no. I see him begin to cut her arm as she cries and tries to scream in pain. I want to scream with her. "Tell me something now! I have to stop this!" I am now sobbing. My heart breaking each time more with every scream of pain she lets out.

"Are you ready to talk?" I can hear randy ask her. Ready to talk? He knows she know of my identity no, no, no this is bad. I can see a man remove the tape of her mouth as she lets out another scream. "Who is he?" Randy asks her I can see anger in my princess eyes. Oh my love I am so sorry just tell him please you can still get out just tell him.

"Fuck you" my princess responds. She has always been one to fight back that is why one of the reasons I love her but I wished she hadn't, princess please tell him I appreciate your loyalty but your life matters more to me than that. The man behind her once again puts tape on her mouth. "Suit yourself." Randy responds as he gives her another cut but this time it was bigger than the first.

"Find me that fucking location, what is taking so long?" I look that the guys. "They must have someone protecting them. We have not been able to get it they have blocked any possible way to find their location." Matt speaks. "Find a way! Find it now!" I yell back. "You see this Shadow Cat? You see what she is willing to do for you? So tall me, what are you willing to do for her? Oh, and if you are wondering Cat. Marie has been for 16 hours which means there are 14 more to go. Enjoy the show."

I look at Michael once again as my body begins to shake. My whole word is crashing down. I begin to clench my free hand until I feel my fingernails begin to draw blood even through my gloves. I can see the look of fear and guilt in Michael's eyes. I hear Marie cries again making me looked down towards my phone again. Tears falling freely down my cheeks. I can see the blood gushing down of her. Oh god not my princess please help me. Once again, I hear my princess let out another muffled and it breaks me.

I fall on the floor sobbing. At this point I don't care who is watching me. I can't help but let my tears out. My princess, my child are in trouble and I can't find them I can't save them I failed her. I promised to always protect her and I didn't keep my promise. No please god not my princess. She is innocent he can have me; he can kill me but just make him let her go.

I shut my eyes tightly not being able to continue viewing the video. I can't breathe, my life is being taken away from me and I can't stop it. My brain is shutting down, I hear my princess screams but they are beginning to sound distant. I think that Michael is yelling for everyone to find a way to get their location but at this point I am not sure. My vision is hasty, my heart is pounding so hard that it's starting to be all I can hear I feel my body shut down. I can feel myself begin to lose consciousness oh no I am losing control.

I tried to steady my breathing. I tried to focus but I can hear Randy count after each cut drawing more blood from my princess body. I look at the phone again and I can see her try to fight it but just like me she is losing consciousness. "Princess please hold on I will find you." I whispered.

I tried to control my breathing some more as I told myself to stay on control for her. Another scream escaped my love's mouth and my heart died. Watching her suffer only made me mad. Mad at myself. Mad for not being with her, mad for not knowing she was carrying my child, mad for not protecting them and most importantly mad for leaving.

I come back to reality when I hear Randy speak to me again. "Oh, and this last one my dear Shadow Cat is a reminder of what will happen if you make me wait long." He then points the blade at Marie's stomach and I see Marie's eyes widened with fear. As she cries, I cry with her. My baby my baby is danger.

My body begins to shake violently and my hands clench once again this time my grip is so strong it cracks the screen on my phone. Marie then squirms, shakes and turns trying to get away but soon I hear more of her screaming but this time it was louder as if she had been ripped in half.

He cut her, he cut her stomach, and he cut my baby. "Nooooo! You son of a bitch, I will kill you, I swear I will kill you." I yell and the video shuts off. "My baby, my princess no, no, no I swear I'm going to tear him limb from limb." I have to stop this; I have to rescue her. He can have it; he can have what he wants he can have my life but let go of my princess. I am lost, he has my life already, and he has everything I live for. I close my eyes letting more tears out until I feel a hand on my shoulder.

"You aren't really thinking about doing that are you?" I snap back to reality as Michael speaks standing right behind me. I must have thought out loud, I can see the look of worry in his face which soon turns into anger. I turn around to see everyone staring at me. "Tell me you aren't really think about doing that." He yells at me and I stay quiet. "Tell me you are not going to do that!" He screams again.

"I- I am"
