Hey guys, its Brandon. I remember mentioning last night when I posted "Border Crossing", my Criminal Minds/Rookie Blue crossover, that my internet connection went out. I found out earlier today that it was working, albeit sporadically. I will try to update the other stories when I come up with something.


Anyway, enough about that. I want to share with you another fan fic that I came up with, and some of you who play the Need for Speed video games might like this story as well.

This story mainly consists of Criminal Minds and Need for Speed, but with a hint of Austin & Ally. Plot is straightforward, as always.

When the theft of a military-grade prototype results in a crash that injures teen heartthrob Austin Moon, the agents of the FBI's elite Behavioral Analysis Unit head to Seacrest County to recover the prototype before a war erupts between the cops and the racers.

This story mainly features references from Need for Speed: Underground, Need for Speed: Underground 2, Need for Speed: Most Wanted 2005, Need for Speed: Carbon, Need for Speed: Undercover, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, Need for Speed: Most Wanted 2012, and Need for Speed Rivals. Because of these references, many places and characters will be mentioned in the story, and at least two Most Wanted 2005 characters will have a cameo in the story.


If everybody's ready, please enjoy this fan fic, and let me know what you thought of it.

Prologue

It was a cold, stormy night in Seacrest County. Rain fell in heaves to the ground, creating major flash flooding that parts of the county, from the snowy peaks of Eagle Crest to the desert of Three Points, rarely experienced, given their usual climates. While many of Seacrest County's drivers avoided the rain, a group of thieves thought it was the perfect opportunity to steal a top secret weapon.

At the HudsenTech research facility off Coral Bay Drive in the western part of Seacrest County, alarms were going off as gunshots rang out in a secured area of the facility. A security guard, who was just getting off from his break, was hit with two shots coming from a thief determined to get his hand on a cutting edge high grade weapon that would turn the tide against the county's street racing epidemic. As he struggled to stay alive, he managed to pull the alarm, alerting the Seacrest County Police Department to the goings on at the research center.

As the thief made his way out of the facility, he heard the police scanner going off.

"Attention all units. Attention all units. We are getting reports of shots fired at the HudsenTech facility off Coral Bay Drive. Situation is priority one. Potential casualties. All units are to drop current assignments and report to scene immediately!" the police dispatcher said.

As the thief exited the HudsenTech building, he ran towards a blue Bugatti Veyron 16.4, and climbed in. As he started the ignition, a female voice came in over the speaker.

"Sir, we need to get out of here. Seacrest County PD is sending in all available units. They'll be here any minute." the thief's wingman said.

"I got the package. Everything is set. Let's go!" the thief said.

As the thief and his crew, consisting of his wingman in an orange Lamborghini Reventon, a silver Aston Martin One-77, a gray Porsche 911 GT2 RS, and a yellow Koenigsegg CCXR Edition, pulled out of the parking lot of HudsenTech, the SCPD appeared out of nowhere, and began following the five supercars onto the Westbeach Freeway.

"This is the Seacrest County Police! Pull over!" an SCPD cruiser, a Dodge Charger interceptor, blared from its bullhorn.

The drivers activated their turbo boosters, and proceeded into the rainy night towards Hope Canyon.


Fifteen miles away from HudsenTech, along Three Points Road in the Badlands of Seacrest County, a bus was driving towards Hope Canyon after picking up four friends from the local airstrip, and was heading to the Mission Beach area of Seacrest County.

"Austin, I don't understand why you're making such a big deal of Dez getting us a chartered flight into Seacrest County. If we had flown directly from Miami to Fairhaven, it would have been a four hour drive, and the taxi fare would have been in excess of $1,500, and I know Jimmy wouldn't reimburse the cab company. At least we're right here at where you'll be performing." Ally Dawson said as she sat in the front of the bus holding the hand of her boyfriend, teen pop sensation Austin Moon.

"Ally, I appreciate what Dez did to make sure we made it to Seacrest County. I just thought that if we flew in to Fairhaven, we could enjoy the diverse scenery on the drive to Seacrest County." Austin Moon said as he stared out the window of the bus, and noticed a billboard with his picture on it.

Ally saw the billboard, and smiled as she looked at Austin.

"Austin, you look better in person than you do on that billboard." Ally said.

"I think you look the same, buddy." Dez Hatfield said from the back of the bus as he stared at the billboard, and then at Austin.

"Are you kidding? That guy on the billboard looks nothing like him!" Trish De La Rosa said as she looked at Dez with suspicion, and glanced at the billboard.

"Guys, its just a billboard. Don't make such a big deal out of it. They probably didn't know what I looked like, so they just improvised." Austin said when he looked towards the front of the bus, and noticed a car driving the wrong way heading towards them, and it was coming up on them pretty quickly.

Ally, Trish, and Dez saw the vehicle as well, and attempted to take the necessary steps to avoid being thrown from the bus should the oncoming vehicle impact it.


As the Seacrest County Police Department continued pursuing the five vehicles that fled the HudsenTech facility, dispatchers reported a serious problem.

"All units, we have been jammed! Communications are down! You are on your own until we can get it resolved!" the police dispatcher responded.

With that alert, the SCPD's ability to call for reinforcements, deploy spike strips, and use an electromagnetic pulse against vehicles was hindered, at least temporarily. However, the thieves saw it as the perfect opportunity to attempt to escape.

As the chase continued down the Hope Canyon Freeway near the intersection with Three Points Road and Silver Creek Road, the Aston Martin pulled into the oncoming lanes, and attempted to throw off the pursuing units, when suddenly, everything went horribly wrong.


Inside the bus, Austin, Ally, Trish, and Dez could only watch in horror as the vehicle, which Ally assumed was probably an Aston Martin One-77, was speeding towards them, which Dez believed was in excess of 200 MPH. As the vehicle was 500 feet from them, Austin gripped Ally's hand, while Dez did the same to Trish, and fell to the floor of the bus.

As the Aston Martin impacted the bus, it flew into the air, maybe about twenty feet, and impacted the ground. The bus then flipped over several times, and the people inside were tossed around.

Austin attempted to maintain his grip on Ally, who was holding on to the armrest of one of the seats in the aisle. When the bus flipped again, the sheer force of the roll threw Austin Moon out of the bus, and was thrown fifty feet onto the other side of the Hope Canyon Freeway.

Ally Dawson could only watch in horror as Austin was thrown out of the bus.

"Austin!" Ally shrieked.

The bus flipped fifty yards down the Hope Canyon Freeway, and finally came to a stop approximately fifteen feet from the tunnel entrance.


As the Seacrest County Police units watched in horror as the Aston Martin collided with the bus, flip, and saw a person ejected from the bus, communications were restored as the lead officer spoke into the radio and told every pursuing officer to break off the pursuit.

"All units, break off pursuit! We have multiple causalities, with at least one possible ejection. Dispatch, we need emergency units to the Hope Canyon Freeway immediately!" the lead officer spoke into his personal radio as he exited the vehicle.

"10-4. Emergency units deployed to your location. ETA: five minutes." the police dispatcher said.

As the officers on scene began rescue operations, they watched as the four remaining vehicles sped down Three Points Road, and vanish into the rainy night.


Supervisory Special Agents Alex Blake, Jennifer Jareau, and Dr. Spencer Reid were entering the offices of the Behavioral Analysis Unit in Quantico, Virginia when they looked up at the TV and noticed the developing headline that had occurred overnight in Seacrest County.

"We are monitoring the still developing situation that occurred overnight in Seacrest County. According to officials with the Seacrest County Police Department, a brazen theft occurred shortly after Midnight from a research facility owned by HudsenTech, a leading provider of electromagnetic and radio frequency devices to the United States Military. When police arrived at the scene of the robbery, five cars led by a Bugatti Veyron 16.4 fled from the scene, at which time SCPD units engaged the vehicles for about twelve miles, when all of a sudden, one of the escaping vehicles, an Aston Martin One-77, slammed head on into a bus carrying teen heartthrob Austin Moon, and his entourage.

"At this time, local authorities refuse to specifically elaborate on what was taken from HudsenTech. So far, we can say that at least three people are dead, including a security guard employed by HudsenTech, the driver of the Aston Martin, and the driver of the bus that Austin Moon was in. Reports indicate that Moon was ejected from the bus, thrown fifty feet, and suffered severe injures. He was initially transported to Seacrest South Hospital where he was stabilized, and then medevaced to Fairhaven University Medical Center in Fairhaven City, and we have no word on his condition." the television anchors said.

JJ, Reid, and Blake looked at one another, and focused back on the TV as the anchors continued their report.

"Shortly after the incident, Seacrest County Police Chief Brandon Chappell spoke to the press, and said the following."

The TV then cut to footage of a man in a police uniform standing at a podium addressing members of the media.

"I am appalled by the loss of life that has occurred by the underground street racers that have plagued Seacrest County. This was an unconscionable act of aggression against our community, and I have ordered Seacrest County Speed Enforcement to step up patrols. In the meantime, we will coordinate with HudsenTech to investigate how a secured facility was targeted." Chief Brandon Chappell of the Seacrest County Police Department explained.

"Chief Chappell, will there be swift punishment against those responsible?" a reporter asked.

"Those responsible will be pursued to the farthest ends of the Earth, and will be prosecuted to the furthest extent of the law! If you race or commit a crime in Seacrest County, we will find you!" Chappell said.

"Chief Chappell, do you know what was taken from the HudsenTech facility?" a second reporter asked.

"I do not want to go into detail, but I know that it was a prototype of a sophisticated military-grade device."

"What about Austin Moon? Was he a victim of circumstance?" a third reporter asked.

Chappell paused at the question, and sighed.

"There are no words to describe the situation that occurred with Austin Moon. All I ask is that you pray for his family, his friends, and that you pray for the staff at Starr Records, who are dealing especially hard with this tragedy. Thank you. That will be all." Chappell said as he walked away from the podium.

The TV anchors came back on, and continued the story.

"Again, just to recap the still developing situation form overnight in Seacrest County, a theft that occurred at a HudsenTech research facility resulted in a police chase that involved five vehicles. Seacrest County Police pursued the vehicles for about twelve miles, when one of the escaping vehicles slammed head on into a bus carrying teen pop star Austin Moon, and three others. Moon was thrown fifty feet from the bus, suffered severe injuries, and is currently at Fairhaven University Medical Center where we are awaiting an update on his condition. Of course, we will update you on this story, and bring you more information as soon as it becomes available." the television anchorwoman said.

Blake looked at JJ and Reid with suspicion, and spoke.

"Is this why we were called in this early?" Blake asked.

"I heard nothing about this until just now. I've never even heard of Seacrest County, let alone Austin Moon." JJ said.

"I remember reading on the internet a few months ago about a national newspaper doing a story on the street racing epidemic in Seacrest County. The county has a vast landscape, mostly consisting of two lane roads, but it does have its share of four lane highways and freeways. The county only has a permanent population of approximately 16,000. However, during the tourism season of the summer and winter months, the population can get has high as 50,000. The county's police chief was a former street racer himself, and has vowed to shut down the street racers. This theft and accident could be just the cornerstone to doing that." Reid said.

"Maybe we should head to the conference room, and find out what is known." Blake said as she walked in the direction of the conference room.

As the agents approached the conference room, Supervisory Special Agents Aaron Hotchner, Derek Morgan, and David Rossi emerged from Hotch's office, and glanced at Blake, JJ, and Reid.

"We have been requested by the director and the Pentagon to get to Seacrest County immediately. Blake, you and Reid get on the next flight to Fairhaven, and question the CEO of HudsenTech about what was being developed. I also want you to interview Ally Dawson, as she was an eyewitness to the crash. JJ and Morgan will check out the HudsenTech facility, and get information on the security restrictions, and Dave and I will pay a visit to Chief Chappell, and find out more about the street racing epidemic. Wheels up in fifteen!" Hotch said as he exited his office.

Morgan looked at Rossi, Blake, JJ, and Reid, and spoke.

"If the racers use that prototype, or reverse engineer it, the effects will have some serious repercussions." Morgan said as he walked away.

"The director fears that a war could break out between the SCPD and the racers, and he also believes that Chief Chappell will do everything to stop it. The injury to Austin Moon will be seen as a wake up call to put an end to the street racing epidemic." Rossi said as he looked at the agents, and then walked away.

For the next thrity seconds, Supervisory Special Agents Alex Blake, Jennifer Jareau, and Dr. Spencer Reid attempted to take in what was developing in Seacrest County, and the conclusion all three of them got was dangerous.

If the racers in Seacrest County used the stolen HudsenTech prototype against law enforcement officers, against other racers, or for that matter civilians, the results would be devastating.

They turned, and exited the BAU officers, about to embark on the tedious task of making sure Seacrest County didn't become a war zone, with the police on one side, the racers on the other, and the civilians caught in the middle of the crossfire.


That's the prologue. Let me know what you thought of it. I will continue working on chapter 1 and the other stories in the interim.
