Safe?.... Never! (Re-edited for easier reading)

Hearing Mikey screaming in distress, nurses came running to see what was wrong. Moments later, security was called, and within 5 minutes, the whole hospital was on lockdown, the police had been called, and the place was being systematically searched by every available member of staff.

Mikey had been given a sedative, to help him calm down, and he was currently laying across three plastic chairs and his boyfriend's lap, as Ray held his hand, and gently stroked his hair.

Bob, it was discovered, had been knocked out with chloroform, just like Gerard had been, and he still wasn't awake.

On the floor above, in 'operating theatre C', 2 surgeons, and 4 nurses, were doing everything in their power to save the life of the young man on the table in front of them. He'd been stabbed, and the blade had apparently gone straight into his right lung. At this point, if they had to say, they would probably give him about a 10-15% chance of survival, and that was only if they could stop this damn bleeding...

**Where am I? This doesn't feel right! Aren't I meant to be in hospital? Frank? Frank, where are you?... Please...**

"GeeGee, oh GeeeeGeeee... WAKE UP!"

Gerard's body jolted, but his eyes remained closed.. Not much point in opening them anyway.
Bert moved around him.. Yes, he knew it was Bert, and yet, somehow, he wasn't pissing his pants in fear.
The fact that he no longer appeared to be wearing pants, or anything else for that matter, had nothing to do with it.

Gerard could feel cold air against his bare skin, and cold metal around his wrists and ankles. He was currently laying on his back, on what felt like a concrete floor.
Footsteps walked from by his feet, to up next to his head.

"You awake yet, slut?"

Bert hissed above him.
Gerard supposed it was probably shock or something, but he just didn't feel scared. He knew he should, but he just didn't.
Opening his eyes, and turning his face toward Bert's voice, Gerard frowned slightly.

"You just can't get enough of me, can you Bert?.."

The younger man was somewhat taken aback by this. He'd expected the same, weak, snivelling creature he'd had in his possession 6 months or so ago... Not this.

".. What? Nothing to say?"

Gerard wasn't sure where that had come from. His mind felt kinda numb, like he'd been smoking weed all day, but Gerard hadn't touched that stuff since high school.
He was pretty sure now that this was shock, and if it was, he hoped it lasted a fucking long time.

Bert still wasn't talking. Maybe Gerard's seeming lack of fear was putting him off his game.. Whatever. Gerard liked the quiet.
Bert walked away, over to the wall behind Gerard's head, and grabbed hold of a foot long steel handle, that was attached to a series of wheels, which, in turn, were connected to a set of chains.

As Bert began to turn the handle, Gerard felt his arms being hoisted off the ground, then his body, and finally his legs, til Bert stopped, and Gerard found himself suspended by his wrists, his feet no longer touching the floor.

The metal cuffs around Gerard's wrists were pulled outward by the placement of the gears, which put added strain on Gerard's shoulders, stretching the muscles and joints toward breaking point.
The cuffs around his ankles, were also attached to chains, and after Bert had secured the top chains where he wanted them, he then moved on to adjusting Gerard's legs.
For the first time since he arrived there, Gerard screamed, and screamed.. and screamed.

By the time Bert had set Gerard's legs in the desired position, spread way too far apart, Gerard had screamed himself horse, and passed back out.

Bert looked at his work so far, and grinned... This time, no one would get in his way...
