I sat in my room quietly in the corner, listening to hear her voice or a man's. I hate when men had money to spend. I usually saw business men, mainly the fat and ugly. Occasionally I saw a muscular man come in, they scared me the most. They always seemed more violent. Twice I even had women come in. I heard a nervous sounding man chatter as Amy opened the door. The light spilled only halfway into the room. A scrawny tall man looked in the room. The light shined around him, so I couldn't see him.
"Candy is in here Doctor, you have her til noon tomorrow." She said as he stepped in examining the room, shutting the door behind him. The room got dark, everything was quiet. I liked the dark and quiet. I knew he wasn't moving. His silhouette swayed in its place.
"Um, My name is Dr Spencer Reid, and uh…" I heard him stutter on his words. I could see his hands getting stuffed in his pockets through the dim light in the room.
"You've never done this before have you?" I asked clinching the thin sheet around me. I've never had a newbie before. Honestly I've never had a guy just stand there. They usually charge at me as soon as the door shuts, or talks to me. I heard him move, his shoes hitting the hardwood floor. I kept my place in the corner of the room. I hated what I did.
"Oh, no, you see, I'm with the FBI and" he started rambling. I watched as his hands flew out of his pockets as to help explain what he was saying. I've never seen a customer this nervous before.
"That's new. I've had mayors and other politicians, but never the FBI." I said, hoping I sounded better than I felt. Honestly I felt weak. I was exhausted. My body ached. I wanted to lie down to sleep and never wake up.
"No, please if you'll just let me explain" he said as he found the wall and felt around. "I'm an agent from the FBI and I'm here to investigate the missing girls. We have reason to believe that they've been kept here, and are being forced to work." He spit out quickly. "So, if you'll just talk with me, I'll be on my way." He said still searching the wall.
"If you're looking for a light switch you won't find one." I muttered as I watched him rub his hands on the wall. He removed his hands from the wall. "Amy hates me because I took her husband away from her, so she took out the light fixtures and just gave me a window and a bed. There's really nothing else in here but a door out and a bathroom." I said watching his silhouette. He stood still, his head hanging down.
"Maybe we can sit and talk." He said reaching around to find something in the room. I stepped out of my corner and grabbed his hand. I felt him stiffen.
"I'll lead you to the bed." I said as I tugged on his hand. He followed and sat on the bed. I sat beside him. "Can I ask you one question Dr Reid." I asked as he sighed.
"Of course Candy, anything you want." He said looking towards me. I'm sure he couldn't see me. The moonlight was behind me, and shining towards his face. I could see his face more clearly.
"If you're here to arrest Amy, why did you have to come in here to me?" I asked watching him. He nodded.
"Well, we have no physical proof that she's even running this house, well, in that way. And I needed to come in and talk with one of the girls myself." He said talking away.
"SSA Morgan and Hotchner tried to get in earlier, but they mentioned they were with the FBI and she didn't offer them any serves. So they sent me to get evidence from someone inside. Actually just from getting in this room is enough proof. I can tell you're not doing this by choice by how you act and you're voice doesn't suggest that you're eager to jump into bed. So the rest of the team should be showing up here soon." He said looking from the floor, taking ear piece out and handing it to me. "Listen." He said. I put it to my ear.
"Hello Candy, this is SSA Aaron Hotchner speaking. We're on our way now. Dr Reid will not harm you." It said. I looked to Dr. Reid.
"How can I talk back?" I asked him. He pushed a button on the ear piece.
"Aaron?" I asked, seeing if he heard me. Reid moved his hand as I replaced it with mine.
"Yes Candy?" he asked.
"Please call me by my real name." I said looking to Dr. Reid.
"Of course, what's you're real name?" he asked me. I smiled.
"Jessica Wolf." I said looking to Reid.
"You're the girl that's been missing in for just over eight years. You're adopted father passed" Dr Reid said as he rambled again.
"He wasn't my adopted father, I was sold to him." I said handing him his ear piece back. Aaron was talking but I had gotten distracted with the doctor. "I was his mistress. So when he passed, his wife locked me up here and just got money for what he husband used me for." I said angry. Dr. Reid lifted his hands up in defense.
"I'm sorry, I was just repeating what the records said." He said in a worried tone. I stopped and thought about what he said. "I'm sorry you've been stuck here so long, but I'm going to make sure you're going to finally be free." He said to me. I didn't think about it, but I jumped on him and gave him a hug. I kissed his cheek, his arms still awkwardly in the air. He finally closed his arms around me as I heard a loud thud downstairs. I smiled knowing I was finally going to be free.
I'm sure no one realized how locked up I'd really been. When Spencer drug me out into the early morning sunrays, I realized how ghostly pale I was. My long brown hair was somewhat neat, but oily falling around my tall body. I gripped Spencer's hand tightly, not wanting to let the first person in my life who actually treated me right go. He pulled me over to a muscular man with brown eyes.
"Who's this beauty you're pulling around Reid?" he asked smiling at me. I shivered and clung onto Spencer's waist. He was surprised that I moved from his hand, but quickly wrapped his arm around me.
"This is Jessica Wolf. Jessica, this is one of my team mates, Derek Morgan. He works with me in the BAU. He's nothing to be afraid of." Spencer said as the man held his hand out. I shook it but went back to holding Spencer's waist. He wrapped his arm back around me. I remember waiting around for a while before I fell asleep on Spencer's shoulder.
I heard a beeping sound in the distance. I felt a hand clenching mine. I turned toward the hand that was holding mine. I pried my eyes open. I saw an outline of a skinny man sitting beside me.
"Jessica?" he said sitting up. My vision cleared and I saw the man clearly. He had medium length hair that curled around his face. He had brown eyes that were surrounded by dark rings. "I'm Dr. Spencer Reid, I I don't know if you remember me, but I was the" he started. I gave him a weak smile. I pulled my hand from his hands and reached for his face. He looked startled as my hand landed on the side of his face. My thumb rubbed over his cheek. This was my hero, my knight in shinning armor. I didn't want to talk. My body felt heavy. "You passed out, the doctors said that if I hadn't gotten you in any faster I would've lost you." I smiled when I heard him say 'I would've lost you'. "The doctors said you should be okay in a few days, you were just exhausted from all the physical work and not getting enough nutrition and hydration." He said examining my body in the bed as I took my hand back. I looked around the room. It was bright, the sun shined through the huge windows. There was a small television sitting on the wall. It was on, but the sound was off. There was a large wardrobe with the doors still open. A big bag was sitting inside. I assumed it was Spencer's.
"Where am I supposed to go?" I asked watching the television. "I'm a 26 year old that's never really been outside. I've never made any friends here. I've spent all but 14 years in my life in that house. But even then I lived in the ghetto." I said looking to the white board on the wall.
"You've never had a real home have you?" I heard Spencer asked. I shook my head.
"I've never had someone that cares for me." I said looking out the window at the view outside. I saw Spencer out of the corner of my eyes. He looked sad. He was thinking, I could tell because his eyes shifted.
"Would you like to come back with me to Virginia and stay with me? I know that it's a big move, but you can stay at my place until you can get off on your feet." He said looking to me. I looked at Spencer. He looked even more shy and awkward than I remembered.
"I would love that." I said examining Dr. Reid. I saw him smile as I accepted his offer. "I I probably won't be there much, my job makes me travel a lot. So you'll have lots of time to yourself. I can give you my bedroom because" he said talking away. I shook my head.
"I'm not going to steal your bedroom." I said as the heaviness slowly faded off my body. I tried to push myself up.
"We'll argue about this later. You need to relax so you can get better." He said as a nurse walked into the room.
"Well it's nice to see you up and awake Miss Wolf. You're boyfriend never left your side since you got here." She said rolling up a tray so it hovered over my lap. She gave me a plate of food and set it on the tray. "Now eat up darling so you and your boyfriend can head home soon." She said giving me a cup. "If you need anything just push this button and it'll call me at the nurses desk. I'm sure you know how everything works right deary?" she asked Spencer. He nodded. She smiled and walked out the door. I grabbed the plastic spork to eat my food. Spencer grabbed a cup off the counter and took a drink.
"So you're my boyfriend huh?" I asked as I stabbed the noodles. Spencer about spit his drink out. I ate my cheesy noodles as he sat back up.
"They wouldn't let me come see you, so I told them I was you're boyfriend so I could find out how you were doing." He said as I tried the mashed potatoes. I smiled, yeah, he was my knight.
