Chapter 1: We Found Him
Morgan was driving rather speedily, he has no idea the last he had drove this fast…He doesn't care…he need to reach the damn house. Prentiss, sitting beside him, was biting her nails, anxiously, waiting for them to reach the required destination. Rossi, in other hand, was looking outside the speeding SUV. Just behind them, Hotch and JJ in another SUV, a few patrol cars were following behind them with the same speed.
The two SUVs stopped in front of a house and the team members dashed out hurriedly. Morgan as usual kicked the door, bringing the rest of them inside; together they searched the house for any sign of life, the life of their best friend, their youngest family member, Spencer Reid.
JJ roamed around and found a secret door upstairs. "Hotch," she called, showing the door. Hotch moved slowly inside the room with his gun in his hand, closely the entire team followed
There was a body standing beside the window, staring outside. "Finally, Agent Hotcher," the voice creped Hotch's body "We could meet," Bit by bit, the body turned and face the total group. Keeping himself together, Hotch asked "Where is my agent?"
"Yeah, Agent Reid," he said. His voice was filled with wickedness. "I got to say; your agent... was one tough kid,"
"Edward, WHERE IS HE?" Morgan asked, clearly losing his patience
"Ah, you must be Agent Morgan," he said again "Reid told me, about you," Out of blue moon, he pointed his hand towards the table beside them, showing something to Morgan. It was none other than Reid's watch, the watch that Morgan has bought for Reid's birthday, it was covered with blood
"What did you do to him?" This time it was Prentiss who was screaming
"I am asking you for one last time, WHERE IS HE?" Asked Morgan to the way higher tone of voice, pointing his gun directed to guy opposite him
"Do you know that with live burial, it is likely within one to two hours, they would lose consciousness and and death follows within 5 to 15 minutes?" asked him again "I thought of teaching him how be familiar with darkness, but don't worry, I don't think he is still alive to even realize it"
"Buried?" Morgan whispered to himself. Within a split second, Morgan shouted "He buried him alive!" and before Morgan could realize, he was running outside the room, he knew Prentiss, JJ was pursuing behind him. Morgan runs outside the house, more specifically to the behind part. He doesn't care about Edward anymore, he knows Hotch and Rossi would take care of him.
"Call for ambulances now! And get the cops behind here!" Screamed Morgan again before he starts kicking the earth. Morgan stopped dead at one point, the dirt on the earth seemed to be covered. "He is here!" Yelled Morgan again before he started to dig the earth, soon few seconds later, Hotch, Rossi and a few other cops joined him.
At full velocity, they dig…and they dig…and they reached to the top of the coffin. Quickly, they forced their full capacity to carry it out. When the coffin was out, Morgan kicked the door open, he doesn't care, he need to get Reid out…
Morgan felt as though he lost of oxygen to breathe when he saw Reid, his best friend lying inside the coffin. He was unconscious, his hand was tied in front of him and his mouth was plastered with tape. Hotch and Morgan rushed and carried him outside the coffin. Carefully, placing him on the land, Morgan checked for his pulse.
"He is not breathing!" He roared in shock. With full momentum, everybody took action, Hotch positioned his head, and Morgan helped him with his CPR. Prentiss was standing behind Morgan, slightly shaking and she could hear JJ shouts for paramedic.
"No, Reid! Don't do this to me," said Morgan as he breathes inside the Reid's mouth and Hotch was helping with chest compression, but Reid was still lifeless… Before they know, the paramedic moved Morgan and Hotch from Reid, the two paramedic started to work on him. They slipped a tube down his throat.
"He got a single stab wound to his side," The other paramedic shouted to his team member. Morgan stood helplessly beside JJ as he watched the paramedic working on his friend. Just when the paramedic lifted his shirt, Morgan saw the shirt Reid was wearing was covered with blood. He was so focused on keeping his friend alive, he didn't realize the stab wound.
"Still nothing!" The paramedic updated as they still worked hard on him.
Hotch and Rossi stood in shock as they watch the scene in front of them. Prentiss was holding JJ, she tried to support JJ but she herself was shaking. Morgan could feel the tears forming in the corners of his eyes, he doesn't care…
Please Reid!…You can fight this, Kid He begged Please, don't give up!
