Reid hated the rain. It was cold and it had already soaked through his jacket and now onto his shirt. He had run back down to the morgue to examine the body's again, he just wanted to be sure if he was right about his conclusion.
"Excuse me, I'm sorry to ask but I need some directions," Reid heard behind him, he whipped round to see a man as he got out of an RV. Reid's senses immediately went into overdrive. No-one was out during this weather unless they knew where they heading.
"I'm sorry I'm not familar with the area," Reid said apologetically.
"It's alright, I think I've found my way," the man smiled. Reid barely had a chance to reach his gun when he felt a pain engulf his head. He winced as he hit the wet ground before everything went dark.
Department
"Has anyone seen Reid?" Morgan asked urgently as he walked over to the table that the team were around.
"He went back to the morgue to double check something. He had a theory that the Unsub had some connection to the body he was creating. Reid assumed that it may have been a big or little brother that the unsub was trying to build. No-one would take that much care in choosing the parts for a body if they were focused on an emotional attachment," JJ explained, she looked up and saw the worried look on his face.
"When was that?" Morgan asked.
"About an hour ago, Why?" JJ asked.
"Oh no!"
"Morgan what's wrong?" Hotch asked.
"Someone just called in and reported someone being taken by a white male in an RV, the description matched Reid. I didn't know he had gone back to the morgue. I have a sketch artist drawing the unsub with the witness," Morgan explained to them quickly.
"I want to find out who this bastard is now. Call Garcia, we need to get a name," Hotch told them all. He wasn't about to let Reid become the next victim.
RV
Reid jolted awake but instantly regretted the fast movement when he felt pain sear through his cheek. He blinked a few times and tried to move. He couldn't. He remembered being asked for directions. He panicked slightly when he realised that the Unsub had take him again.
He looked down and saw that his legs were taped together at the ankles and his wrists tied together with plastic strap, he tried to call out but found his voice muffled by a large strip of duck tape. Reid heard footsteps approach him before a cold sensation hit his cheek. The unsub crouched in front of him causing him to struggle slightly.
"Stop fighting!" the unsub shouted before holding Reid's chin and pushing the bag of ice painfully against Reid's swollen and bruised cheek. Reid whimpered as the unsub tightened his hold on Reid's chin. The unsub ripped his grip away about a minute later but kept the bag against Reid's face.
"We're brothers now," the unsub said happily.
Reid knew he had been right at that moment, the unsub was trying to recreate his brother, he wasn't sure though if it was a little or big brother.
"Me and you against the world. Old school," the unsub smiled before removing the bag of ice. Reid pushed himself back from the unsub slightly. He knew how violent this unsub could be and without the ability to speak he was unable to try and talk him down. He wanted to stay as far away as he could.
He watched the unsub walk into the back of the RV. Reid took a few deep breaths to try calm himself, the last time he was restrained this much was during his time with Tobias Hankel. Reid hoped that his team would find him soon, he was just glad he told JJ his theory before he had left.
The unsub walked back over to Reid, he gave him one last look before he unlatched the large wooden box and lifted the lid up. Reid's eyes went wide with fear as Tobias's words echoed in his mind.
'Bury you alive in there boy.'
The unsub tried to grab Reid. Reid struggled and kicked before thrusting his hands up into the unsub's face, the unsub stumbled back. Reid couldn't help but feel a little proud of his retaliation. He didn't want to be put in the box, it looked too much like a coffin.
Reid looked back and barely saw the crowbar as the unsub brought it down on his leg. Reid screamed in agony as the force of the bar came down on his thigh. Reid whimpered as the pain aggravated everytime he moved his leg, he felt tears brim on his eyes but knew he was stronger than that.
Just breath through it Reid thought.
The wind caused a chill to creep onto his skin. He hoped the team found him in time, he didn't want to die like this.
