Fresh blood
While a case in Idaho, Reid, Prentiss and JJ are kidnapped by a family, who live isolated - - a family having only incestuous relationship since long, and who want the agents to add fresh blood to their next generation. It's inspired by the episode 'Home' from X-files. Set in season 7 after 'Epilogue', this follows the stories 'Doctor' and 'I won't let you go'. You don't necessarily have to read it to understand this story, but it might help to not get confused over some details.
Warning: Torture, confinement, maybe rape. Mentions of incest and murders. ReidxPrentiss, and mention of LynchxGarcia. Minor OC too in the first chapters.
I'll try to make the three main characters of this fic brave without being unrealistic, but I certainly won't make fearful cowards out of them. Just like the author Spark Shark (who I recommend), I think there is too much fic picturing the agents as being cowardly when kidnapped. Too much fic depict them as frightened and not like feds, Reid especially. This fic will contain violence and blood; however you won't see Reid, Prentiss or JJ break easily.
Chapter 1
It was a bad day until now for the agents Prentiss, Jareau and Reid, and it was only beginning. First, they were on a case which was quite hard to solve, so they hadn't sleep or eaten properly in days. Second they had been sent to a crime scene in the middle of the forest. They were supposed to join the cops here, but the car went out of gas in the middle of nowhere.
The case they were working on was about attractive men murdered in the forest after being drugged and raped. There were two UnSubs who would follow their victims when they were driving, and would kidnap them once they exited their cars. After the kidnapping, they would bring the victim into the forest, drug them, rape them and then stab them several time in the stomach. The team strongly believed they were frustrated homosexual men who couldn't assume their wants, resorting to killing the objects of their desires. The men were all blond and well built, between twenty five and forty years old. They've been working on this case for two weeks, and it was getting them nowhere.
A new crime scene had been discovered, and the three agents wished they could have joined the cops already. They were trying to contact them or their team to let someone know they had a problem, but phones wouldn't work here. Reid sighed.
"Well, I guess we'll have to walk there."
"You're kidding?" Asked Prentiss with a desperate tone
JJ's face went pale. She knew that Reid was probably right; they didn't have a choice.
"Well, it's not easy to guess what they're going to say."
Reid nodded and Prentiss rolled her eyes, knowing JJ was right. Since the beginning, the local police was giving them the cold shoulder as if they weren't needed. They were especially looking down at Prentiss and JJ because they were women (and they rejected the advances of some cops), and at Reid because they thought he was just some know-it-all.
The only one who greeted them well was a red haired cop named Miriam Crowley; she was more open-minded than the rest. When Prentiss saw Reid talking to her, she had been jealous first, but realized soon that the red-head wasn't really interested in her boyfriend. The two agents were in a relationship since months now. It was first a secret, but they told the rest of the team after what happened with Doyle.
Basically, only Morgan had known. Reid and Prentiss healed from their wounds after the fight with Doyle and were given some time to rest. They had loved the time they'd spent together without work's burden. They could really enjoy their relationship without hidden threats or secrets. Hotch had told them it wasn't a problem as long as it didn't affect their work. That's why Spencer and Emily barely acted as a couple on cases in order to secure themselves.
What helped them a lot was the fact that their work wasn't giving a lot of romantic ideas. Seeing corpses all the day wasn't exactly the best thing to give you romantic feelings. The cops here didn't even suspect a thing. The only moment the cops could have guessed was when Reid had quite possessively sent away some men trying to hit on the brunette. He was even more despised for this. It would certainly make the cops laugh to see the feds walking to the place because their car wasn't working anymore.
JJ wasn't pleased at the idea of walking in the forest; she always feared it since childhood. Her colleagues seemed to like it better. In fact she had noticed Prentiss and Reid were quite at ease in the woods. She remembered how Reid was clumsy in the forest before, now he was more at ease in nature. He looked at her, and saw the angst on her face.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, you know I don't like forest much."
"Don't worry, we'll be fine."
Prentiss put a hand on her shoulder to encourage her. They were about to leave and search for the crime scene when they suddenly heard a car and felt some hope. Maybe they could get some help from people coming this way. They saw an old car, with at least four or maybe five persons inside. Prentiss and JJ made signs and the car stopped a few meters away. They were too far away for the agents to see them properly. The newcomers exited their car and approached. They were five, two women and three men. The three agents went to ask them for help, but suddenly stopped as they saw them a little closer.
They were hideous and disgusting. They had deformed faces and their bodies weirdly shaped. Even the way they moved was strange, though they were able to walk normally, something made them look like monsters and not normal human beings. They were really dirty too, with long hair, except for one of the men. Their clothes were dirty too and quite old. The look in their eyes as they were staring at the three wasn't really friendly. The fact they were five was already bad, but it wasn't the worst. They were armed with baseball bats and the women had shotguns.
The agents immediately made a move to take their guns, but the women pointed their weapons at them.
"Throw your guns down right now," yelled the older woman, "or we shoot. My daughter and I are perfect at it."
The three agents looked at each other. The situation was critical: they were outnumbered and their enemies already had guns pointed at them while theirs weren't in their hands. They knew they had to comply, or they would be shot down. Obviously this was not a joke. The way they held shotguns without difficulty and confidence indicated that they certainly knew how to use them. They took their guns out and threw them on the ground at the same time. The three looked at each other: they had to disarm their enemy in a hand to hand fight.
"Now, advance toward us, arms raised in the air."
They obeyed, without reluctance because at least they would be close enough to take them down. They walked slowly, and when they were close enough, they noticed a weird light in their eyes. They were looking at them with sick grins. The older woman licked her lips as she turned her head to show them the car. Prentiss took the occasion to seize the shotgun. She pulled on it, bringing the woman along and punched her hard, while JJ was doing the same with the daughter, and Reid attacked the closest man. He tried to send a blow on Prentiss for attacking the mother, but Reid took his arm and twisted it before punching his stomach hard. He then felt a pain in his side as he had received a blow by one of the men. He bent to avoid the swing of the bat and lunged at his opponent, tackling him to the ground and sent his foot in his face before getting up quickly because the other was about to assault him. One went to attack him, but received JJ's fist in his face. She had succeeded in taking down the younger woman, knocking her off. Now she would fight with this man while the two others focused on Reid.
Prentiss was fighting against the mother. She was stronger than expected, and even if she didn't have her weapon anymore, she was physically strong. Emily sent a punch, followed by a kick, and the woman fell down, but immediately Prentiss felt arms holding her from behind while the mother got up. She saw feminine arms holding her and she saw JJ was now fighting against one of the men while Reid was fighting the two others.
The daughter had walked up and encircled Emily with her arms to help her mother. The brunette was alone against the two women. The mother sent her fist into her guts while Prentiss was struggling badly against her tormentor, which made her gasp. She was about to receive another blow when the older woman was kicked violently and sent to the ground by Reid, who had managed to get free from his attackers for a second. He didn't want them to hurt his girlfriend. It gave her enough time and encouragement to struggle even more and get free from the daughter who now tried to punch her, but Prentiss dodged and twisted her arm badly, making her scream. She then kicked her in the stomach and left her on the ground to help Reid, who was still fighting against two men while JJ was still trying to do her best against her opponent.
The doctor was sending kicks, punches, hits with his elbow and avoided as many blows as he could, but his adversary were stronger and he was overpowered. Each time he was hitting one, the other was coming. It was when he hit one of them hard in the face and sent him head first on a tree that he began to hope.
JJ was having difficulty too. The blonde agent wasn't as weak as she was years ago in physical fights, but her opponent was strong too. He was maybe malformed but also swift and well built. She sent a hard kick on his side. The man grunted and she sent her fist in his jaw. She had the advantage for a moment, so she sent her fist again. This time however, he tore at her arm and threw her on the ground. She landed and barely had time to get up before he lunged at her. She avoided it and kicked him in his side hard again. He yelled and as she went to attack him, feeling she could have the advantage again, something hard hit her head. She collapsed on the ground, half conscious.
Reid and Prentiss who were beginning to take the advantage on their adversary saw JJ on the ground, the mother with a bat, and the daughter with the shotgun pointed at their colleague. They went to her immediately.
"No one move or I shoot!"
They stopped at those words that had left the younger woman's mouth. In their haste to save their colleague they had given time to their enemy to take back the baseball bats; it was their turn to be knocked out.
Two hours later
Sheriff Corner and two other cops were working on the crime scene, not even waiting for the feds anymore. They were laughing humorlessly at their absence, angry and annoyed. Those stupid agents were good at talking, but when you had to do something a little more sportive in the job, the feds would rather let it to them! They were people of the city, feds on the top, and the local police had always felt despised by those kinds of people. One of them sighed.
"Well, we will just have to carry away the body, now."
"Hum…You and Parker go back to the station; I will wait for the guys from the morgue."
"Okay, chief."
The two cops, Parker and Travis, went to their car, not really in the moods for talking. This case was a bad one for them. They knew this victim, he was a good guy and didn't deserve to get such an ending. It took them at least ten minutes to talk.
"So, what kind of excuse do you think the feds will give us?"
"I don't know, but those assholes wouldn't have been really useful anyway. We were already three cops, it was enough."
"Yeah."
Travis suddenly frowned and Parker did the same when they saw a car in the middle of the road. It was a SUV, those the feds used. They stopped and exited their car to take a look. They immediately saw three guns on the road, signs of a fight, and some blood too. They looked at each other and went immediately back to tell the sheriff who was still at the crime scene. They certainly didn't like these feds, but now they were certainly in danger, and in those cases, disliking and rivalry were forgotten. They were now comrades in distress.
Chief Corner understood immediately and they told their team as soon as they could, the agents quickly drove over there.
Both Rossi and Hotch kept their neutral stance, but they had paled at hearing the news, and Morgan wasn't even trying to hide the worry in his eyes even if he remained level-headed. When they reached the abandoned car, they saw the traces of a fight, and knew that several people had attacked their colleagues. The three of them were strong, and one opponent wouldn't have been able to take them down. Morgan turned to Hotch:
"Do you think it's our men? They are at least two; maybe they knew Reid, Prentiss and JJ were feds."
"And they decided to suppress them to mock us or show their power."
Rossi observed the scene. If the goal was to kill their colleagues, why not just leave them there? He came up with an idea.
"Maybe they are serving as hostages in case we discover who they are. Whatever reason they have, we will find them."
Morgan and Hotch nodded, hoping he was right about them being hostages because at least they would be kept alive.
Okay, this is the first chapter. Tell me what you think, please!
