Reid was at home trying to relax when he heard a window break. He grabbed his gun from the holster and went to the room where the window was broken. He saw a baseball on the floor and assumed that some kid had thrown it,and broken his window. Then he was knocked to the ground. His gun was out of his reach. His hands were taped behind his back. He was turned over then his mouth was taped shut.
He picked up Reid and carried him to the fire escape. Reid started to whimper.
"Sh sh sh,"his captor said,"I'm sorry I have to do this, but someone has to pay."
When he got to the bottom of the steps Reid was carried to a car. He opened the trunk and threw Reid in. Within no more than a minute they were driving away.
ooooooooooooo
JJ walked up the stairs to Reid's apartment. He had left his cellphone at work and his home was on the way to her house, so JJ offered to bring it to him. She knocked on the door, but there was no answer.
She knocked again and called,"Spencer! Are you there? I have your phone!"
There was still know answer. His car was outside. She found a spare key on the top of the door, and let herself in. She looked in his bedroom first incase he was asleep. Then she saw the window was open, and Spencer's gun was on the floor. She looked outside and saw a bound and gagged genius in the trunk of a car. Then the criminal shut the trunk, got in the driver's seat and drove away. JJ ran down the fire escape and fired her gun at the vehicle. She managed to hit one of the tires. The driver got out of the car and ran away.
JJ ran to the car and opened the trunk. She sat Reid up, and took the duct tape off his mouth. Then she unbound his hands.
"Thank God,"she said as she hugged him,"I could never go through that again."
oooooooooooo
Morgan was sitting alone at home when he got a call from JJ.
"Let me guess,"he started joking,"Hotch saw that we all left work less that five hours late, so he's adding surprise cases to keep us vigilant."
"Derick,"JJ's voice told him that something was wrong,"someone tried to abduct Reid."
"What?!"Morgan exclaimed,"Don't move! I'll be over there in a minute."
He ran to his car,and sped to Reid's apartment. Who was trying to hurt his best friend? He got to Reid's apartment and banged on the door. JJ let him in, and led him to Reid who was sitting on the couch.
"He didn't want to go to the hospital and his injuries were minor,so I let him stay here."
"Reid,"Morgan said,"I need you to tell me everything about what happened tonight."
"I heard a window break, so I went to investigate. I found a base ball on the floor. Then I was blitz attacked. He said he was sorry, but someone had to pay. JJ saved me."
"We need to get you protection,"Morgan said.
"No,"Reid objected,"I'm fine. It's late. We'll figure this out in the morning. I doubt the unsub will comeback here in the same night."
Morgan knew he wouldn't win this argument,"Okay,but if anything happens call me."
oooooooooo
Reid had convinced Morgan,and JJ to leave his house. He got a glass of water,and took a deep breath. The next thing he felt was something hitting the back of his head. Then everything went black.
When Reid woke up, he was chained to a wall. Two men were standing over him. One of them was the man who tried to kidnap him the first time. They had a camera aimed at him.
oooooooooooo
The next morning Morgan was back at Reid's apartment. Reid's attacker had a partner. When JJ went after Reid the partner snuck in through the window. He hid somewhere until Morgan and JJ left. Then he attacked Reid.
There was some blood on the floor that appeared to belong to Reid. Hotch spoke to JJ and Morgan about the night before.
"Hotch, I told Reid that we should get him protection. If I had at least checked the house he might still be here."
"Morgan we can't waist time by thinking about what could have happened. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yeah I understand,"Morgan sighed.
His phone wrong and he saw that it was Reid's phone he answered it instantly.
"If you ever want to see Spencer Reid again you will go to the address that was recently emailed to you. You will come alone, and unarmed."
Morgan ran out the door, ignoring the calls of everyone telling him to come back. He jumped into his car and drove to the address. He got out and left his gun in the car. He received another call.
"Come to the back of the building," the voice said.
Morgan went to the back of the building and tried to find the man he was supposed to meet. Then he received another text message. It was a video of Reid, chained to a wall. Then he was hit in the back of the head,and everything went black.
When Morgan woke up he was chained to a wall. Reid was next to him, and two men were standing over them. They had a video camera aimed at them.
"That's enough footage,"the obvious dominant one said to his submissive partner,"send it to their team. Then come straight back here."
The partner grabbed the SD card, left the room, and was back within minutes. Then the dominant partner pulled out a gun.
"My partner is going to unchain you. You are going to follow him outside. If either one of you tries to run I must warn you that I am a creature of habit. I always aim to kill,and I never miss."
The partner unchained them,and led them out to a truck.
The submissive got in the driver's side,and the dominant stood behind them with the gun. He made Morgan and Reid get in the back seat. When they got in he shut the door,behind them,and got in the passenger side. Then the submissive locked the doors,and started driving away from the ware house they were being held at.
They were taken to a secluded cabin in the woods.
The dominant took Reid into the cabin first, and then came back for Morgan. He led Morgan down a flight of stairs to a basement where Reid was tied to a chair. The dominant told Morgan to sit down, and then tied him to the identical chair next to it.
The dominant stood in front of them ,and smiled.
"Today I want you to answer some true or false questions. If you answer correctly you will be rewarded. If not- Well let's just figure that out. I think the genius should start. True or false: your team doesn't care about you."
"False."
The dominant hit him in the face with his gun.
"Incorrect Let's try again true or false:JJ is just a stupid blonde bimbo who only chose that job because she wanted everyone to see her pretty face on TV."
"False."
Reid was hit in the face again.
"You have one last chance to redeem yourself. Don't blow it. True or false: Derick Morgan is only wants to be the hero. He doesn't care about anyone else but himself."
"false."
Reid was hit even harder than the times before.
"I was going to give you two food if you got one of the questions right,but I guess you'll have to learn the hard way."
Ooooooooooo
The team was trying to find Reid and Morgan but they were coming up empty handed. Both their phones were off,and whoever had sent them the video had covered his tracks really well. They were looking to see who might have a grudge against them when Garcia came out of her office.
"Sir,"she said,"Morgan's phone turned back on. I sent you all the address."
"Thank you Penelope,"he said,"everyone we need bring Morgan, and Reid home. Wheels up now."
They got to the address that was roughly thirty minutes away,and ran into the cabin. Hotch,and Rossie checked the basement, while JJ, and Prentiss looked upstairs.
Hotch and Rossie put away their guns when they saw that Reid and Morgan were the only ones down there.
Hotch ran to Reid, and Rossie took care of Morgan. They didn't look like they had been hurt too bad, but they still needed to get checked at the hospital. Hotch was relieved to have his team back in one piece,but he still had two questions. Who had turned the cell phone on? And where were the unsubs?
Oooooooooo
Garcia drove straight to the hospital when she heard they had been found. She walked to the waiting room where she was greeted by the rest of the team. She sat down next to Rossi who held her hand.
"They're fine kitten. I saw them both myself. Any minute now the doctor will say that everything's fine,and we can all go home."
As if on cue the doctor came in and said,"Derick Morgan?"
Everyone stood up.
"Derick has suffered trauma to his head, but I expect him to make a full recovery. I just want to keep him overnight, so I can keep an eye on him. I can let one of you in to see him."
"Garcia should go,"Hotch said,"We'll be fine out here."
Garcia slowly walked into the room, and squeezed his hand,"hey you."
"Hey yourself,"he replied.
"I was really worried about you today,"she admitted.
"You don't need to worry about me baby girl. You can't get rid of me that easily."
"It's not just you that I worry about. It's everyone on this team. Every time you go on a case I'm reminded of how dangerous your job is, and I jus wish I could make a rule that nobody on this team is aloud to get hurt,"Garcia broke into sobs.
"Baby girl, you are stronger than you think. The whole reason I get through those cases is because I can call you and see the light where there is so much darkness."
"Don't scare me like that again,"she pleaded.
ooooooooooo
Hotch was in the waiting room with the rest of his team, waiting to hear about Reid. He sat down staring at his hands. Rossi was sitting next to him.
"Reid's fine. You saw him before. He barely had a scratch on him."
A few minutes later Reid's doctor came out of his room.
"Spencer Reid has suffered much worse trauma than Derick. Not only was he hit in the back of the head to be subdued, but he was also hit in the face with a gun repeatedly. One of you may go in and see him,but he's asleep right now so please don't disturb him."
"I'll go,"Hotch said,"I just need to see him."
Hotch silently walked into the room and sat down next to a sleeping Reid. He looked at him, and wondered how he could let something like this happen twice. Guilt washed over him.
"Reid,"he whispered,"If you can hear me, I just want to say I'm sorry this happened to you."
The next day Morgan was released from the hospital and Hotch volunteered to drive him home. One the way back Hotch made sure he was understood.
"Morgan, I'm glad you're okay,"he started,"but your actions were reckless. You ran off without telling anyone, and you were unarmed. You should have told me about the call."
"I understand Hotch,but-"
"No buts,"Hotch interrupted,"you either trust your team or you don't, and your actions prove that you didn't trust us to get Reid back,and tYeshat's insulting to everyone on this team. Are we clear?"
"Yes sir,"Morgan said defeated.
