Badger is attending to some business when he hears the news from one of his men that Jarvan had been found and brought back to the safe house. He is anxious to know the condition of his young friend and thinks that he should make time to go and see him, but in the mean time, he wanted to find out who did this to him in the first place.<br/><br/>He summons one of his guys and tells him to make sure Jarvan receives the best possible care and protection. Once the details have been arranged, which consists of two guards and as much medical expertise as can be found in the underground network, Badger summons two more guys to go back to the location where Jarvan was found and to find out if any of the members of the group of abductors had been left behind. They set off without saying a word and then Badger had nothing left to do but to sit at his desk and wait for news. He didn't want to have to go to Jarvan with bad news, if he was conscious of course.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Jarvan drifted in and out of consciousness. Sometimes when he opened his eyes, he thought he saw Ariel, but then he remembered that it was impossible because he was still chained to the wall in that dingy room, being beaten and he would drift back off into blissful blackness once more.<br/><br/>This continued for several more days and it was almost a week before he snapped his eyes open in full consciousness. He stared up at the ceiling with a sense of confusion creeping into his mind. He had no idea where he was, who he was with or what had happened. All he remembered was being beaten slowly to death and then all of a sudden he was on the floor. After that it was all a blur of flashes of light and colour and there were several black areas where his memory failed him.<br/><br/>He tried to speak, but he found that his voice didn't work. He put this down to the intensely dry mouth that he had. He couldn't sit up for help either, he could feel the straps holding him to the surface of whatever he was laid on, no doubt so that he couldn't escape or hurt himself. So he just lay there, hoping someone would come to help him out or to put him out of his tormented misery, either way would work for him.
