Hello, everyone.

Just like always, enjoy and I'm looking forward to hear feedback from you guys.

Special thanks to 'jerseybelle' to beta the story.

Have a nice day.


"Uncle Spencer, I'm scared."

Reid looked into Henry's eyes for one second before he rested his forehead against Henry's. "I know, buddy. I'm too."

"You're coming behind me, right?"

Reid held his godson close to him before he spoke. "I can't."

"But I can't do this alone."

"Yes, you can. You have to, Henry." Reid took a sharp intake of breath, controlling the pain stabbing through his chest and ankle.

Looking to his side, Reid pulled his cardigan to him, took out his badge and pinned it to Henry's shirt. "You're one us now. You think you can follow the orders I'm about to give to you, agent?"

Half-heartedly, Henry nodded.

"Okay, so I'm going to push you up. You're going to climb out the window and run. The moment you get the phone signal, you're going to call your dad, do you understand me?"

Henry gripped Reid's shirt. "But I can't leave you here alone, Uncle Spencer. They will kill you if they know I'm gone."

"Henry, listen to me. First of all, I can't fit through the window. Even if I do, I can't run with you…my ankle is broken. So I need you to do this for me."

Henry shook his head.

"Henry, please. I'm begging you. I know you're scared, but I will be fine. I need you to go out and get some help. I'm counting on you, buddy."

"Okay, okay."

"Good. Listen, don't come back no matter what you hear, okay? Your primary job is finding a hiding place. Call dad or mom when you get the phone signal, can you do that for me?"

Henry nodded.

"Okay, come on." Reid pulled himself up. Ignoring the pain assaulting his ankle, Reid carried Henry and helped him to reach to the window.

"You remember all the hide and seek techniques Uncle Morgan was teaching you and Jack?"

"Yeah."

"Use that. Be safe."

"I will. I love you, Uncle Spencer."

"I love you too, Henry. A lot. Go!"

Henry looked down and jumped, landing harshly on the ground. Reid heard the thud as he landed and felt bad for pushing him down, but he knew he had no choice. If Henry were to stay any longer, the consequences were not going to be pretty. It wasn't hard to figure that the main target was Henry. Reid could feel his anger rising above his average level when he thought about those men wanting to use Henry as leverage against Will. Now that his godson was out of the way, they'd torture Reid, but he didn't care as long as Henry was safe. There was no way he was going to allow anyone to hurt his godson.

-CM-CM-CM-

Henry crouched down, his eyes wandered around, watching for any threat. When he was satisfied and gripping the phone tightly in hand, Henry ran.

His heart begged him not to run, not to leave his godfather alone with the evil men, but at the same time, he knew he was doing the right thing. It was his turn to save his godfather.

-CM-CM-CM-

Reid breathed out loudly, exhaling all the heaviness that was pinning down his heart. Henry was out of harm's way but he was scared. He mentally prayed for Henry not to land in harm's way until his team finds him.

Please God. Reid closed his eyes. Please help him.

Reid could hear the footsteps and looked at the door.

-CM-CM-CM-

Henry stopped and gasped for breath.

Inhaling greedily, he looked at the phone.

No signal

"Oh, come on!" Henry hissed before he started to run again.

-CM-CM-CM-

Reid bit his lip as he lowered himself down to the floor. His bruised ribs were not going any easier on him.

The footsteps were getting louder

Ignoring the pain, Reid sat with his knees up and his head resting on them.

Suddenly, Reid heard the sound of the door being opened and within seconds his hair was harshly pulled from behind, forcing him to face his kidnapper.

"Where is the boy?"

Reid remained silent.

The man pulled on Reid's hair, dragging him to the center of the room. Reid groaned in pain when a few kicks attacked his bruised torso.

"You think you can save him from me? Nobody can escape from Gabriel. "

He turned back and looked at his men. "Find the boy. He couldn't have gone far. I need him alive."

Turning back to Reid, Gabriel pulled and pointed the barrel of his gun straight to Reid's face. "But not you. You're an uninvited variable in my equation."

-CM-CM-CM-

Henry stopped again.

"Yes!" He cried silently when he saw the signal bar on the phone. He quickly dialed the number he well aware of.

Come on … come on … pick up the phone. Pick up the phone, Dad.
