Kyle's POV-1 day after kidnapping, 5 days before present time.

I woke up slowly, my vision blurry. I blinked a few times and the room came into focus. I was in a small closet that had light seeping in from under the door. I lifted my head from laying on my shoulder and cracked my neck, rubbing away the soreness. I turned on my suit lights and saw it wasn't big, almost too small to fit even one more person.

I had been sitting against the wall and stood up, gasping in pain. My fight to get free had caused me quite a few bruises and I felt dizzy but was careful to be quiet. I quickly took off my helmet and felt my neck. There was a puncture on the right side. I had smacked away the first sedative but Rogers caught me off guard when Henderson had me in a headlock. My helmet had been on the table and they must have grabbed it for some reason.

There was a shake and I put my hand against the wall to steady myself. Turbulence? We must be on a pelican.

It shook again and I started feeling around the edges of the door. Then it shook once more and stopped suddenly. They must be landing.

I quickly sat down and let my head loll to one side. There were heavy footsteps coming towards me and I slowed my breathing. I heard the door slide open. There was a pause before I heard the person crouch down down, Rogers from the pattern of her walking. She lifted up my head and let go. Completely limp, my head swung back down and bounced a bit.

Satisfied I was still sedated, she called back. "He's still out, I don't need this sedative."

There was a pause and more footsteps came towards me, Henderson and Grey this time. "Give it to him anyway, he'll wake up soon, just make it a small dose, he's been out so long that it should go a long way. Make it quick, the pelican will be refueled in a few minutes."

There was a sigh from Rogers and Henderson walked away. After a moment Grey followed. She leaned forwards and pulled off my helmet. There was the sound of talking outside, then I heard Steele's voice. He's here!! They must have tracked us and come to rescue me!

Rogers flicked the vile a few times before placing a hand on my head to steady it. There was a burst of gunfire from outside and she was distracted for a moment. I took the chance and lunged forward, punching her in the chin hard. She gasped and the vial rolled away. I struggled to maneuver in the small space and pushed her backwards, pressing my arm into her neck. She gasped for air and tried pulling me off with one hand. I pressed harder and gasped as I felt the needle prick my arm.

She managed to press half of it in before I could take her arm off. I ripped out the needle and threw it at the wall, shattering it. She punched me in my distraction and I fell back to where I was before.

I tried to get my leg between us to kick her off but I felt the sedative slowing me down. As my grip on her arm fell slack, I heard a bang and saw Grey hit the wall, unconscious. She looked back and pushed my legs inside before stepping in herself an half closing the door. My vision began fading. Last thing I saw was Steele walking past the door before it all went black.

I woke abruptly as my head slammed into the metal behind me. I tried to figure out what was going on but not soon after I felt the pelican falling, fast. I leaned on the door as best I could an stood up. I was still half sedated but I knew I had to do something, what for I don't know, something about rescue? The door had been left slightly open and I reached my hand out to press the release. It opened and I went flying into the wall as we leveled out and shock waves shook the pelican. Before I knew what I was doing, I ran up front.
