Disclaimer: I do not own Criminal Minds, or any of the characters, CBS does, the only things I own, are the idea for the story itself, the character, Matrix Jones, and the clothes on my back.
Matrix is walking down the halls of his apartment building, towards his apartment, while also speaking on the phone to his girlfriend.
Matrix: J.J., relax, I'll be there in an hour, I just need to get changed before the Christmas party.
J.J. Ok, love you, see you soon.
Matrix: Love you too, seeya soon.
Matrix and J.J. hang up, and Matrix puts his phone in his packet, as he arrives at his apartment, and he notices the door is ajar. Matrix takes out his phone, and he dials Hotch. The phone rings twice.
Hotch: What's up Matrix, I know the party is in an hour, tell J.J. I'll be there soon.
Matrix pulls out his gun.
Matrix: Hotch, I'm outside my apartment, the door is ajar.
Hotch: What, I'll call the team, we'll be there soon.
Matrix: Thanks Hotch, I app...
Matrix's apartment door is pulled open and a man with a gun steps out and he aims at Matrix, and Matrix aims his gun, just as he is hit in the chest with a bullet, and Matrix's phone flies down the hall. Matrix lands on his back, gasping in pain. He faintly hears Hotch calling him over his phone. Matrix quickly aims his gun, and he fires 3 shots, one hitting the man in the chest, another hitting him in the arm, and the last hitting him in the head, and the man flie to the ground, dead. Matrix opens his coat, and he opens his shirt, and he pulls the bullet out of his kevlar vest, and he drops the bullet on the floor. Matrix painfully crawls over to his phone, and he sees Hotch hung up. Matrix is breathing hard because of pain. Matrix picks up his phone, and he puts it back into his pocket, and he stumbles up. He holds his gun at the ready, and he carefully and painfully makes his way into his apartment, and he notices it is trashed, everything is on the floor, and turned over, and he sees picture frames shattered, and his tv is destroyed. Matrix holsters his gun.
Matrix: Dammit.
Voice: Matrix! Where are you?!
Matrix: In here!
Hotch, Morgan, Emily, Reid, Rossi, and J.J. run in with their guns drawn, and when J.J. sees Matrix, she runs over, and she wraps her arms around Matrix in a tight hug, and he gasps in pain. J.J. immediately lets go.
J.J.: What's wrong?
Matrix: I took a bullet to the chest.
J.J. looks shocked.
J.J. What?!
Matrix: It's fine, I was wearing my kevlar vest under my shirt.
J.J. looks relieved.
J.J.: That's good.
Morgan: Any idea who that guy is?
Matrix: No clue, but whoever it was did a number on my apartment.
The team begin looking around, they spend about 30 or so minutes looking around, when all of a sudden, Rossi find something.
Rossi: I found a note!
The team gathers around, and Matrix takes the note, and he reads it out loud.
Matrix: Jones, I will find what you took from me, and when I do, I will hunt you down, and I will kill you. What the hell?
J.J.: Who could want to kill you?
Matrix: I have no clue.
End Chapter 1.
