Ten Pm on a Friday night, the BAU was preparing to leave for a case in Jonestown, Wyoming. Spencer Reid had missed the case briefing and Morgan was trying to reach him on his cell phone before they left for the airport. On the third call Reid picked up

"Hello?" He answered tersely

"Reid its Morgan you haven't been answering your phone, we have a case."

"I can't go, something came up."

"What?"

Before Reid had a chance to answer there was a knock on Reid's door. Morgan heard a slight thud as Reid put the phone down. He then heard the door opening

"What are you doing here?" Reid asked

"You know why I'm here, where is she?" A man's voice was heard low and threatening

"She's not here; I don't know where she is. Leave now." Reid said

Morgan heard the sound of Reid trying to close the door and a hand stopping him. Morgan instantly signaled the others and put the phone on speaker.

Footsteps were heard as the man forced his way into the apartment. Suddenly Reid cried out in pain and fell to the floor. Then the BAU heard groaning and the sounds of something heavy being dragged and a door being closed.

"Looks like your girly hair has a purpose, now start talking I know she goes to you when she's in trouble."

Silence than pained groans were heard as the man started beating Reid. The team was already heading toward the SUVs: they were the closest officers. After a few minutes Hotch and Morgan who were in the same car heard the beating stop

"Now start talking or I'll shoot." The man said

"You shoot and the whole apartment building will hear and call the police." Reid grunted clearly in a fair amount of pain

"Your right," sounds of a gun being put down "A knife is much more fun."

"A knife" Reid scoffed "are you compensating for something?"

Suddenly a door opened and a woman's voice was heard "Gordon Stop!"

"Joan get back in the bedroom." Reid ordered

A grunt of surprise from the intruder; then sounds of a scuffle. A heavy thud was heard and Reid's heavy breathing.

"Spencer come on, we've got to get out of here."

Silence than footsteps the sounding becoming muffled as Reid put the phone in his pocket and the pair walked down the stairs and went outside. Car doors opening and closing, then the car was turned on as the two drove off. Morgan had tried yelling at Reid telling him to stay in the area but got no response. The agents were only three minutes away; Reid unfortunately would be long gone by the time they got to the apartment. Hotch called Garcia and told her to inform the others that Reid had left his apartment, and to order her to trace Reid's phone. Garcia was tracking the car within seconds but Reid was driving erratically with no discernable destination, Joan suddenly spoke voicing their confusion

"Spencer, where are you going?" Her voice was soft and weak as if she was injured or sick

"I don't know, I'm just trying to get somewhere safe. " Reid's breathing was slightly labored, his speech was slow and it sounded as if he was having a hard time finding words.

Suddenly a crashing sound was heard as the car was rear ended. Reid sped up, as did the pursuing car. The two men heard the cars going all the road, Reid was trying to get away but Gordon's car kept right on top of him. The cars went onto a seldom used road outside the city limits. The road went straight with only a few side streets. Hotch directed the others the road along with the police they had called for backup. They kept hearing crashing noises and then Reid spoke

"Joan you grabbed his gun right?"

"Yes. Why?"

"There is a cross street up ahead I'm going to slow down as if I see a car, then I'm going to speed up as fast as I can and turn 90 degrees, as soon as I do you are going to fire at him."

"No, I could kill him. "

"He tried to kill us; it's us or him."

More crashing sounds than Reid's car slowing down followed by acceleration, tires squealing as Reid turned sharply than Reid's voice yelling

"Shoot, do it now."

Sounds of gunfire erupted and Reid pulling his car out of the turn. Joan was crying softly, no sound was heard from Gordon's car

"Joan, I'm sorry, but this car couldn't take much more. If he had forced us off the road…" Reid's voice trailed off

Law enforcement was only a few minutes away when they heard a horrible ramming sound and Joan and Reid screaming as their car spun out of control. Then the car stopped moving and silence filled the air: Hotch and Morgan stopped breathing, praying the two were alive. Then the sound of a key being turned and an engine sputtering and stopping, Reid cursed than called to Joan

"Joan, Joan talk to me please." Reid pleaded desperately

A groan than "Spencer" Her voice was barely audible

Reid opened his door, and they heard him moan with pain as he got out then crashed to the ground. Everyone was on the road now keeping an eye out for Reid and Gordon. The passenger door was heard, muffled sounds, then Reid falling to the ground again. Morgan suddenly spotted the car; It was in an open grassy field, the car was horrible battered, the back partially caved in.

"Hotch Reid's car dead ahead in the field." Morgan said pointing

"I see it" Hotch said starting to pull over "Gordon is their too." Hotch said pointing to Gordon's car a few feet away from Reid's

As soon as he heard the agent's SUV he sped off. Morgan who had been preparing to leap out of the car instead reported Reid and Gordon's locations. Hotch pulled over and both men jumped out and hurried to Reid who was trying to open the trunk. As the men approached Reid stopped, dropped to his knees, and bowed his head

"Please make it quick." Reid said keeping his head down then suddenly dove to the ground and picked up a gun and aimed it at Hotch "Leave now or I'll shoot." His voice was strong but his hands were shaking and the gun kept wavering

"Spencer It's Hotch and Morgan; Please lower the gun, Gordon drove off your safe." Hotch said his hands up and his voice commanding

"Hotch?" Reid said squinting into the light from the headlights "Thank God." He put the gun on the ground and then collapsed onto his hands

Hotch picked up the gun and Morgan went to check on Reid. Reid gripped the car and managed to stand, he dragged himself around the car to Joan and collapsed on the ground, he pulled himself up and onto the floor of the car

"Joan we're safe, my friends are here." Reid said his voice barely above a whisper
