Jailbreak! Part 11

  The world seemed to swirl around Doug as his unconscious state continued for days.  After a whole week he came to.  He could hardly see anything, but he could tell he wasn't alone.  He could make out a dark figure sitting next to him, sharpening a knife.
   "Am I in Heaven?" Doug asked.  The figure was startled but quickly recovered.
   "No, still on the battlefield.  I saved you before Reeve could kill you," the figure said.  His voice was deep and raspy, but it was eerily familiar.
   "How long was I out?" Doug asked out of curiosity.
    "A week, but I fed you and gave you water as you......slept,"said the figure.  Doug thought about this stranger's voice.  It was very familiar, but he couldn't place it.  Even with his vision slowly coming back, he still couldn't make out the mysterious figure, because of the surrounding darkness.
    "Who are you?  And what do you want with me?" Doug asked out of curiosity.
    "Well, I might as well tell you.  I need allies.  There are only six remaining in the games, and I think I'm next.  I also believe you might want someone by your side, with you being chased by Shawn, so what do you say, Doug?" asked the stranger.  Doug considered this.   Being chased by Shawn and all, was really, REALLY, bad, and he really could use all the help he could get.  But, he had no clue who this man was.......yet.  It would be risky to say yes, but suicidal to say no, since he was the only one of the two of them without a weapon.
     "Okay sure, but first, tell me who you are," Doug proclaimed.
     "Well but of course, why wouldn't I?" he said sarcastically.  Doug heard the sound of a match being ignited as a small flame lit the room.  The light was enough to see as the man held the match to a lantern.  After a couple seconds, the lantern lit up the area, and Doug could see everything.  He was in a small cave, propped up against a log.  But that is what surprised him.  He saw that sitting directly across from him was his former friend, Jason.
