His wrists extremely soar; the wire binding them together has already cut into his skin. Arms being held above head supported by an iron hook in the wall making him be on his tiptoes. His hair is a mess and dirty, cracked bottom lip at the right corner and still with dried blood, as a tooth was knocked loose from a hit.

Ribs hurting to the left, a bruise on his left cheek bone, eyes wide open, hands twisting in their restrains to get free, duct tape over his mouth stopping him from threatening the man in front of him. The man is teasing him that he'll do things to his teammate who also has her wrists tied up in wire; tearstains down both of their cheeks. She has a nasty bruise on her right cheek at the cheekbone, her wrists also starting to bleed and being held up by an identical hook.

Her lips sealed shut by duct tape as well, the man's hand on her sweaty stomach, the man grinning at him as he fights with his arms to try and get free, his white work shirt nearly drenched in sweat from the heat they are standing in, his face red from rage and the heat.

Moving his hand down to her waistline, he unbuttons the top button to her pants and starts to move his fingers down.

"Lets have a look shall we?" the man asked, medium length brown hair, messy around his head, a few flies buzzing around his head as he bends down to look at her more closely.

He looks between the man and her who's eyes are shut tight and then opened to look down, in a swift motion she kicked him in the head with her knee making him stumble backwards into a small chair and fall to the floor in front of the other captive. Getting to his feet hastily he walks up to her and swings the back of his right hand up to hit her across the right side of her face.

"You… you bitch!" he roared as he stormed out of the room and slammed the door shut.

Hotch no longer struggling, is staring at JJ as she slowly turns her head to look at him, her blonde hair sticking to the sides of her face, he licked his lips as best he can from under the duct tape and asked in a muffled voice, "are you okay?" and JJ seemed to know what he'd said. She nodded her head slowly before leaning her head back and closing her eyes shut tight.

17 Hour's Earlier…

Gun pointing straight ahead at the wall that is slowly coming closer, taking one step at a time to come to the room on his right. The floor creaking at every step as it is very old and has been abandoned until their most recent killings have pointed them to where they are now.

The only light source coming form his flashlight, its 2:00 a.m. and they got a phone call from a payphone about a woman having been attacked by a strange man in the forest and just having narrowly escaped. She told them he ran in a direction and that lead them to the house they are in.

Quickly coming around the corner, his flashlight skims the empty room before him, "clear" he says into his microphone as he hears another voice in his ear say, "clear" being Morgan in the outside perimeter of the house to be sure no one escapes.

Turning around he sees the dark hallway he just walked down, "whoa! Crap… my foot went through a floor board up here," Reid informed in his ear, which told him that this place is older than he thought it is.

Slowly taking a step away from the room, hearing the floor creak under him made him nervous this house gives my position away so the guy can come after me… but knowing that Reid almost went through tells me that everyone has their position given away. Except for Morgan who I am sure is watching the whole perimeter with the help of Prentiss Hotch thought as he took another step and felt something under his foot give away this time.

Being caught off guard as the floor opened up under him, before he could yell out in surprise he felt his flashlight leave his hand and drop while his head hit something hard from behind. His vision going black while his body falls into a tunnel like place.

"Report" Gideon's voice came through all of their ears, no response from who it came from.

"It came from very close to me, Hotch is closest to me. I'll look into it" JJ responded and rushed down the hallway, gun pointing with her own flashlight guiding her to where she needs to be.

"Report once you have visual" Gideon instructed as she came upon the hallway Hotch was in to see a pretty good-sized hole.

"Hotch fell through the floor" JJ began as she strode up to it and looked down into the hole, "Hotch? Hotch are you alright?" JJ asked to get no response, "he's unconscious in what looks to be a tunnel of some sort. Permission to go down and see to him?"

"Permission granted" Gideon's voice answered in her ear, looking around her area with the flashlight and gun and then below to see Hotch's slumped form at the bottom. JJ holster's her gun and puts the flashlight into her mouth before starting the climb down.

Within a minute JJ set her feet onto the rock ground, unholstered her gun and looked around the area once again before crouching down next to Hotch, placing a hand onto his shoulder she gives him a little shake. "Hotch… wake up" JJ ushered to him quietly as she then looked at his head to see a small amount of blood on the back of it.

"He hit his head during the fall… he's out cold by the looks of it and" JJ turned around to see that she looks to be in a tunnel, a tunnel that looks like it used to be used for mining, then heard movement from her right. Turning to her right with the gun pointing she only sees wooden boards sitting against the wall.

"Are you in the basement?" Gideon questioned and JJ continued to look over the area slowly.

"No… this is no basement – it looks like it was used for--" JJ was cut off by a sudden feeling of a pointy object in her neck, placing her hand onto her neck she feels a small object sticking out of her neck and pulls it away to look at it while her vision blurs.

"A tranquili…" JJ couldn't finish the sentence, eyelids closing as her mind drifts off to darkness at the same time she slumps to the rock floor asleep.

"Morgan – see to JJ" Gideon instructed and without a word Morgan strode up to the back door, taking a moment he opened the door to be sure no one is waiting for him on the other side.

Carefully walking down the hall while the floor creaks under his footsteps he opens a door to his left leading him into a hallway. Immediately seeing the hole in the floor he stares at it, "JJ? You alright down there?" Morgan asked, knowing he most likely won't get a response.

Gideon is out front of the house, staring at it from the SUV sliding door, listening to hear of what Morgan finds while Reid walks out through the front door.

Morgan looks down the hole and blinks as if his eyes are lying to him, "I don't see Hotch… JJ if your there show me a sign!" Morgan stated to which he got nothing in return. "Permission to go down there" Morgan requested and Reid stopped before he reached the SUV to see Gideon shake his head.

"Permission denied… JJ stated before that there is a tunnel. Our man must be using an old mine tunnel so we need to find the exit" Gideon answered as Prentiss then came walking out from around the left corner of the house.

"Morgan – hurry and get to the SUV, we're heading out the moment you get here to search for that Mining entrance. Reid get the map out and look around our area for where it might me located."

To Be Continued…

I got this idea from a combo of a movie and decided to see what you think. If you like it and I get a few reviews here and there I will definitely continue it.

Thanks for reading!
