I would love to hear your opinions and look to working further on the story.

I do not own or have connection with the "Criminal Minds," "NCIS" and "Numb3rs" programs or their characters.

Chapter One. The Arrival

BAU Team

The group entered the round room to listen to JJ about the case that has come across her desk. It seems there are six men who have found in a land slide on an island off the state of Michigan. It appears that they had been strangulated and sexually assaulted. The local police have requested the help to locate who killed these young men. Hotch approves and the wheels come up in thirty minutes.

After the plane lands and the team, including Garcia disembarks from the plane. They are surprised not to be met by any member of the police force. Their go bags are removed from the plane and the plane is taxied to the hanger. The team picks up their go bags and head into the terminal. The doors close behind them and click locked. Morgan goes to try to open it and is unable to, he turns and looks at each of the members. The room they are in is rectangular with two doors, the one they just came in and the one going out the opposite wall. There are no seats or counters; the room is empty except for the BAU team.

"Well, it looks like that door is the only place we can go." Says Prentiss.

Hotch responds, "We need to be careful as we go through."

He heads to the door and opens it, there appears to be a long corridor beyond it. He slowly enters the corridor and the team follows behind. After all have entered the corridor the door shut behind and locked. When Hotch got to the end of the corridor, another door opened into another rectangular room. The room has seven beds with each bed a name is etched on the back board. After all have entered the room the door closes behind them.

A voice comes over the speaker, "You will undress and put your sleepwear on, and the bathroom is available and is co-ed. You have five minutes, if you are not in bed at the end of that time, you will receive an electric shock through the floor. You are not allowed out of bed while the lights are out. The floor will remain electrified through the night. I would advise you to move quickly. Five minutes begins now." A large bong goes off. Out agents begin to go to their beds and open their bags to get their night clothes and supplies. They go to the bathroom which does fit four of them at one time. The two toilets are in separate stalls and lockable for up to sixty seconds at a time.

A bong goes off at four minutes and then at three minutes as our team scrambles to ready to get off of the floor before the time is up. Although they have no reason to believe that it will happen, our agents are not taking a chance of getting shocked. Another bong at two minutes and finally at sixty seconds there is a last bong with a whistle at fifty seconds, forty seconds, thirty seconds, twenty seconds and ten seconds with a voice after counting down ten to one. When the voice says zero a buzz comes through and all of our agents are in their beds and don't really know if the floor is electrified, to test it, Hotch toss a piece of cloth on the ground which sizzles and begins to burn. All of our agents had placed their go bags on the shelves around the room next to the bed with their names. The cloth sizzles and scorches but does not burst into flame.

The voice comes over again, "Very good, you are quick and obedient that will help you achieve your freedom eventually. The floor will remain electrified until morning, be good babies and lie down on your beds and go to sleep. Your actions tonight will help us decide what age you will be tomorrow. There will be no talking among you. You can express other feelings but you may not talk to each other."

The lights go off and our agents do lie back as they think about what has happened to get them there and what tomorrow will bring.

NCIS Team

"Agent Gibbs, please come to my office."

Gibbs goes to the director's office and sits in the chair. The director looks at him and says, "We have heard of a group of petty officers who had traveled to Michigan and disappeared. I am sending you and your entire team including Ducky, Palmer and Abby. Have them ready to travel for several days to the state."

"Any other information that you can give me sir."

"No and you will be using another agencies jet, keep it clean."

"Yes, sir." Gibbs gets up and leaves the room to call the seven members of his team together and have them go home to get a go bag and meet at the airport in one hour. There are questions but no answers are provided, just orders.

When the plane arrives, our team gets off the plane and gets their bags and goes to the terminal. After they all have entered the building, the door closed and locked behind them. They see an empty rectangular room with a one door leading out.

"Well, there seems to be only one way out." says Gibbs. He walks through the door in to the corridor and our team finds themselves in a room with seven beds each with a name on it and a shelf next to it. After they all have entered the room, the door closes behind them.

A voice comes over the speaker giving them five minutes to prepare for bed before the floor is electrified and they get burned. Our agents quickly obey and undress themselves. At five minutes there is a bong, at four minutes there is a bong, at three minutes there is a bong, at two minutes there is a bong, and at sixty seconds there is a bong. There is a whistle at fifty seconds, forty seconds, thirty seconds, twenty seconds, ten seconds, and then a voice counting down to zero at which time a sound of buzzing and a sizzle is heard. Ducky tosses a cloth unto the floor which scorches and burns to prove that the floor was electrified.

"Very good babies, go to sleep now and remember the floor will remain electrified all night, do not get out of bed." The lights go out.

Numb3rs Team

"You wanted to see me sir,"

"Yes, Don, come in please. I have received orders for you and your team to transfer to another area for a small time. I don't have a choice you are required to go. Please get your team ready to move out in one hour. Your brother Charlie has been requested as a consultant to go as well, he cannot be compelled but you, Colby, David and Nicki must be at the airport and the private plane in one hour."

"Can you give me a reason about the case and why we are being transferred?"

"No, just be ready to go."

Don leaves and goes to his team to let them know about what the director said and that they are to be ready to go. He calls Charlie and tells him about what the director says and asks if he wants to go. Charlie says sure and agrees to meet him at the airport to catch the plane. Although he wonders if Amita and Larry might also be utilized, while Don responds that only Charlie was requested.

The plane leaves with our agents and Charlie to places unknown and arrives in an unknown airfield. The passengers get off and enter into the terminal; the door closes and locks behind them. It is a bare rectangular room with only one door. The people enter the door into a long corridor which leads to a room with five beds, each with their names on them and a shelf next to it.

"Hello. You will undress and get ready for bed. You have five minutes to do so, at the end of five minutes the floor will become electrified and if you are on it you will be burned. Your time begins now." A bong goes off and then goes off again at four minutes, three minutes, two minutes and at sixty seconds. A whistle goes off at fifty seconds, forty seconds, thirty seconds, twenty seconds and ten seconds, when a voice counts down to zero. A buzz and sizzling is heard and Charlie tests the floor by throwing a handkerchief down and the cloth begins to scorch and burn.

"Very good you succeeded in preparing in time and the floor will remain electrified all night. It is time to go to sleep. Good night babies, do not get out of bed." The lights go out.
