he awoke in the dark. it took a few confused minutes to realize he was not only blindfolded, but drugged. the veicle he was in stopped. he was dragged out and pulled along a path. he was pushed into a building. a smell of cooked meat prevaded his senses. the blindfold was ripped off. a man stood before him.who are you? he asked "I am the one your friends call gormogon", the man replied "I've brought you here to join me, as my apprentice" zack looked at the man. "why would i ever do that?" Gormagon grabbed a folder and tossed it at Zack's feet. photographs spilled out photos of his friends, Hodgins, angela, dr.brennan dr.syoran and Isobel. him and Isobel. Gormagon grabed a remote and turned on a monitor. it was video of him and isobel at the market she loved. "If you do not join me, she will die, they all will and it will be all your fault. do you submit?" "yes." zack whispered brokenly. "yes,master" Gormogon corrected. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Isobel's pov": I knew something was wrong.

Author's note this is the song that the chapter title came from, and inspired the fic, also it would fit our state of mind after "the pain in the heart"
I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house That don't bother me I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while Even though going on with you gone still upsets me There are days every now and again I pretend I'm ok But that's not what gets me
What hurts the most Was being so close And having so much to say And watching you walk away And never knowing What could have been And not seeing that loving youIs what I was tryin' to do
It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go But I'm doin' ItIt's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone Still Harder Getting up, getting dressed, livin' with this regret But I know if I could do it over I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart That I left unspoken
What hurts the most Is being so close And having so much to say And watching you walk away And never knowing What could have been And not seeing that loving you Is what I was trying to do
What hurts the most Is being so close And having so much to say And watching you walk away And never knowing What could have been And not seeing that loving you Is what I was trying to do
Not seeing that loving you That's what I was trying to do Ooohhh....
