"How does he always manage to do this?" Garcia asked the media liaison as they sat in the police station in Columbia Missouri.

"I don't know. I'm just glad you came out on this case to begin with so you can help us find im faster,"" JJ replied. The team had been called to Missouri to help on a case. Six men strongly resembling Reid had been taken, tortured, then killed within the last six months. Each man was kept and tortured for a month before being killed and dumped where they could easily be found. Two days later the next man was taken and the cycle started all over. Reid had been taken from the most recent crime scene two days after the body had been dumped there. He'd gone back to see if they'd missed anything and for some reason the officer that had been assigned to go with him had gotten distracted and let Reid be kidnapped. Needless to say both Hotch and Rossi had that officer's head on a silver platter.

A beep from one of Garcia's computers alerted them to another video clip. The only glimpses they'd been given of their friend and co-worker over the last week had been in small video clips. Some of them depicted the torture he was enduring and others just showed him sitting in a roo with a flickering candle as his only light source.

This video appeared to be a video of Reid half sitting, half lying on the ground with all his bruises, cuts, and burns visible for everyone to see.

"O, Spence, I'm so sorry," JJ mumbled.

"Stay strong, sweet cheeks. We're all working as hard as we can to find you," Garcia assured him. They weren't sure if their words could be heard by their missing friend, but that didn't mean they weren't going to try. The computer tech was using every program and piece of software she could think of to try and find the missing agent.

"Is it just me or does it look like the candle is going out?" JJ whispered. Garcia nodded it looked like that to her as well. She hoped they were wrong, but a moment later they were both proven right. The golden, yellow flame burnt out, leaving not only their hearts but the entire room engulfed in darkness. They just hoped they found him soon and especially before their month deadline. None of them could handle it if they lost the young genius. He was too important to them all.
