Whispers of a lost mind

Chapter 1

It was difficult to tell the difference between the trees and any human figure in the darkness of that little graveyard.
The full moon was bright in the sky, but its light was not enough to enlighten that gloomy place.
Aaron Hotchner was holding his gun in front of him, ready to shoot any moving thing.
The autumn wind hit his face with stinging slaps, but the agent tried really hard to stay focused.
He was used to murder cases but now the man couldn't afford any distraction. Not when the victim was still alive and the difference between his life and death depended on a simple, little mistake on Aaron's part.

Agent Rossi was behind him, Aaron could hear his footsteps and he was sure that the other would protect him no matter what.
The two agents wandered almost completely in the dark, until Aaron saw a little movement from a nearby spot.
Even David must have noticed it , because Aaron heard his footsteps getting quieter and more cautious, like a cat chasing a mouse.
Agent Hotchner imitated his colleague, trying to remain as quiet as possible, as they approached two nearby figures.
One of them was standing, unaware of their presence. The agents could see his back from where they were approaching.

The other figure was bent in what looked like a small hole in the ground, his back was trembling.

As he approached, Aaron recognized the bent figure on the ground as their young victim.
Spencer Reid, 22, missing from three days.

The last time he was seen Spencer was leaving the coffee shop of the university campus where he studied.
Just a few meters' walk and the boy disappeared.
The first police's hypothesis was a runaway, given the young age of the victim.
But as the police department investigated the boy's life, that possibility was ruled out immediately.

The young man was lonely and socially awkward but nothing in his life justified the need to run away.
The second hypothesis was a kidnapping.
The police department had given high priority to Spencer's case and the agents had identified the kidnapper in a few days.
Tobias Hankel, 24. He was a student at Spencer's same college.

He was a victim himself, though.

His father, a religious fanatic, abused him when he was a little child and at the man's death Tobias had fallen into a strong depression.
The boy suffered from a rare personality disorder that he managed to keep under control by abusing drugs.

Now Tobias was right in front of Aaron, so close and vulnerable.
It would have been so easy to move him away from Spencer and arrest him, no one would have got hurt.
But Murphy's Law teaches us that if something can go wrong, it will definitely go wrong.
Few meters divided agent Hotchner from Hankel, when the young victim noticed the two officers approaching and he turned his head to look at them and beg them to help him.
This didn't go unnoticed to Tobias.

As the agents tried to move quickly to disarm him, the sick young man was quicker and a second later Spencer Reid was standing before them,used as a shield by his kidnapper who threatened to put an end to his young life by holding a knife to his throat.
"Drop the knife and step away from him! " David shouted , standing just behind Aaron.
Tobias looked very nervous, the knife against his victim's throat was visibly shaking in his hand.

Spencer closed his eyes and tried to stay as still as possible, scared to death.
His kidnapper kept his eyes to the ground, as if he was afraid to look the two agents in the eyes.
"I- I didn't want to do it ... H- he - forced me," he murmured, his voice barely audible.
Aaron took the chance "We know it's not your fault ... your father did this to you ... but you can do the right thing now ... Spencer is innocent, let him go, do the right thing "he said.
A glimmer of hope crept into his heart when he saw Tobias shaking his head, unsure of what to do, before lowering his knife.
Aaron's shoulders relaxed a little.
But, just a moment later, Henkel's behavior and his posture changed again. His body was straight, his eyes were hard , no trace of fear was recognizable in them.

Tobias grabbed his victim's long hair with a rapid movement , exposing his throat to his two saviors.

The tip of the knife was pressed against his skin, causing a tiny scratch.
Spencer barely suppressed a cry of surprise and sheer terror.
The two officers returned alert, guns still in their hands and pointed at the head of the kidnapper.
"Sinners have to pay with blood! "Henkel shouted, his voice noticeably different, similar to that of a mature man.

The voice that belonged to his dead father.
It all happened in a few seconds, Aaron would never be able to recall that scene in details.

Tobias gripped the knife with more force, ready to kill his victim. Then it was a loud bang and his body was on the ground, hit by Aaron's bullet.

Tobias laid there, lifeless, staring at the starry sky wide-eyed and motionless.
Aaron ran to the young victim who had fallen to the ground with a groan of pain, his body too weak and tired.
The agent grabbed his arm, quickly pulling him up.
The young man was barefoot and the agent noticed that the kid's right ankle was swollen and his skin was a strange shade of purple.

It was probably dislocated or even broken.
"It's okay ... it's all over, let me bring you to the car , you're safe now..." Aaron muttered, trying to reassure the victim as best as he could. The poor kid was shaking like a leaf in the cold air of October.

Aaron didn't expect what happened next.

Spencer hugged him, clinging to him as if his life depended on the agent, as if he could disappear and leave him alone in that ditch.
"I knew you would find me ... he said that no one would come looking for me, but I knew- that ..." the boy couldn't finish his sentence, interrupted by violent sobs that shook his fragile body.
Shocked by the young man's reaction, the agent searched his colleague's eyes.

Rossi was staring at the young victim with sad eyes.
Aaron nodded, holding the boy in his arms, hugging him tightly as if he wanted to protect him from the cold.

"It's okay, you're safe now ..."
As he spoke he felt the young man press himself closer to his body and the sobs that shook him didn't want to stop.
"You're safe now. Everything will be ok " Hotchner said ,slowly leading the boy to his car.
Neither Spencer nor Aaron knew that nothing would ever be the same again.
Nothing would ever be ok again.
