Reid's phone rang in his pocket. He probably should have ignored it, but no. He couldn't do that. He looked at the caller id. Sarah!At first he was about to hit ignore, but then he saw the exclamation point.
"Hello?" He whispered as he was walking out of the office faster than he should be.
"He's here." The small voice whispered back.
"Where are you?" His heart was racing. He couldn't breathe.
"Bedroom. He's coming up the stairs. Spencer, he's gonna take me. I can't fight him.
He'll only kill me faster. I know how he works." Sarah was silent now. Then he heard the phone drop to the floor and a male's voice from the other end go, "Miss me baby?" Reid couldn't put the phone down even though he heard her screams and her breaking of bones. But underneath all that, in her cries he heard. "J'taime un peu." His voice buckled and the phone went dead.
Reid allowed himself 10 seconds. He took a deep breath and then ran to his computer, moving at the speed of light he printed out the two files he needed. He was back in the conference room in minutes.
"This is our new case," he said breathlessly showing Sarah's picture to each of the team.
"What is this?" Morgan asked.
"She's not even reported missing," Garcia began typing away at her computer.
"She was taken by Nick Swisher." Reid began, he looked agitatedly at his watch, "About five minutes ago. He is going to kill her and we need to find her before that happens."
"Reid how do you know all this?" Hotch said.
"She's my girlfriend. We have been dating for two years now and she only recently moved in with me." He knew that the team was going to flip out about him having a girlfriend but he just didn't have time for this. Every minute they sat talking was a minute Sarah was in danger. "She is a prosecutor for the state of Virginia, but she is also the exgirlfriend of Nick Swisher, the serial killer."
"Wait, I remember her, she helped us work the case back in new York about 3 years ago." Emily said.
"Was she the one who dated him for ten years?" JJ asked.
"Yes."
"Wasn't he in jail?"
"He escaped two weeks ago, when they were taking him to a new cell he fought off his guards and managed to break out. She's known that he's been planning to kill her since she was a child. She knew he would come for her." Reid explained.
"But how?" Emily questioned.
"Today would have been their seventeen year anniversary." Reid said quietly. The team was looking at him. "She called me. He was in the house…" He checked his watch again. 4:35pm. "She would have just gotten out of the shower, that's how he knew she would be home."
"What?"
"He was the dominant and she was the submissive." Rossi said understanding. "He would have controlled every aspect of her life. Even when and the duration of her showers. She would have had trouble, now that he was out, not doing what would make him happiest. In case."
"She had two cellphones. One for emergencies. The first number in that phone is mine. I am reporting her missing. I am telling you he has her and we are going to find her." Reid said looking at Hotch.
"Okay, why don't we gather all we know on this guy. Garcia, do your thing. Emily and Reid can go look at the house."
