8:34amWith no windows in the back of the van, it's hard to tell where they are, how long they've been on the road, exactly, but as the road gets rougher, Jack's stomach knots more and more. He's going over ideas of what they can do to get out of this, when the vans stop with a jolt, and the doors open, sunlight pouring in

Chris startles when the doors open and the "agents" enter, dragging Jack out first. Another pulls her up and she wavers, nearly knocked off balance by the sudden movement and her heels not helping.

If the "agent" notices, he doesn't care, barely pausing before dragging her forward. From inside the van, she can see a large pit.

A grave.

Jack's back is turned and she can't get his attention now, she'll just have to act and count on him to follow. The "agent" hops out of the van and grabs her arm to pull her out of the van, when he does she can see the gun in his holster. This is the best chance she'll have.

Stepping forward on wobbly legs, Chris "loses" her balance and stumbles to the ground, pulling the agent down with her.

Jack hears the scuffling noise behind him and turns instinctively; it only takes him a moment to realize that the "agent" a couple steps behind him has done the same, and he reacts without thinking. A hard elbow to his follower's nose yields an audible crunch, and blood starts pouring out the man's nose.

Before he can react, Jack knees him in the groin, grabbing for the gun in the man's holster; the agent tries to beat him to it, but he can't get to it as quickly as Jack can, and there's a momentary struggle for the gun before Jack gets his finger around the trigger and fires a shot into the man's abdomen.

The "agent" has hardly hit the ground when Jack raises the gun, automatically scanning for targets. Chris is struggling with her attacker; he can't get a clean shot, but he spots movement to their left, and he turns and fires at the third "agent" just as the man begins to aim at Chris.

As soon as she landed, Chris threw her elbows into her attacker's midsection, aiming for his kidneys. Ignoring the pain in knees from when she fell, she scrambled for his gun as did he. One hand covering his gun, he laid a clumsy, left-handed punch to her jaw. She wavered but held onto the gun.

They struggled and when the gunshots went off to the side, the "agent" paused for nanosecond, hands still on the gun. She took her chance, headbutting him and knocking him backwards.

The pain was worse than the worst headache she'd ever had and she forced herself to focus. Chris pulled the gun from his holster, shooting him twice before dropping the gun and collapsing to her side, grabbing her head.

Watching long enough to see the third agent fall, apparently hit in the leg, Jack can only spare a glance in Chris' direction before he sees the van's driver opening his door, weapon in hand. The driver's only halfway out when Jack drops him with a shot to the chest. Turning in one smooth, instinctive movement, gun still raised, he looks over at Chris to see her attacker down, Chris holding her head.

It's almost frightening how quickly everything happened; how quickly he'd resonded, without even thinking, and how now he's able to turn off his training. He doesn't have time to consider it, though, hurrying over to Chris with only a quick detour toward the third "agent"--still alive, moaning in pain but otherwise incapacitated--and grab his gun.
Kneeling next to Chris, he touches her face with his cuffed hands. "Chris? Look at me, sweetheart. Are you okay?"
