Just because I'm really excited about this story.
Reid was crying. Charles had taken him to an old abanonded cabin near woods right out of the city.
"No one knows you're missing yet," laughed Charles as he tied Reid to the chair. "They won't know for a while."
Reid shook, his gag pushing its way back into his mouth.
"You shouldn't have ran away," Charles hissed. "Do you know how furious that made me?"
Reid trembled, unable to say anything. Another sob escaped him.
"Stop yer whimpering!" A smach hit him across the face. "You're weak! Just like my son! And I'm going to teach you a lesson of not running away from me!"
Reid cowered in intense fear as Charles removed the gag. What was going to happen to him?
Morgan...Gideon, Hotch!
His shirt was being ripped off as Charles took off his belt.
"No...please..."
"Save the lecture, boy! We all have to own up to our sins," growled Charles and smacked Reid across the chest with the belt.
Reid yelped and bit his lip as he closed his eyes, sobbing that this was happening to him once again. That this hell wasn't over.
He wasn't sure how much more he could endure.
"Reid? I hope you're awake because I-" Morgan stopped talking as he entered Reid's empty hospital room and froze. Reid was gone. The bed was unmade. Footprints led to the window that was wide open.
Panic seized him. No, he did NOT just get Reid back just to lose him again! NO!
"Security!" He bellowed as he fled the room, fear rising in him, pounding at him. "Security!"
50 lashs. His chest was covered in blood and scars. He pushed back his tears. He had already been told he was not allowed to cry. That tears were a sign of weakness.
"You're punishment still isn't over yet," sneered Charles as he put the belt back on.
"What...what are you going to do to me?" Reid asked, as he trembled.
Charles stared at him.
"You had already named one of the team members to die, have you not? An Agent Hotchner?"
Reid froze. No. This wasn't happening.
"I was going to do it, after I had killed you. But now I see you should be alive for this. Maybe you'll learn your lesson after this."
No. No! Not Hotch!
"Please, just...do what you want with me. Please, just don't...go after him! PLEASE!"
"Silence!" The gag was placed back in him. "My decision is final."
Charles had turned his body for a while and Reid moaned, trying ot speak. When Charles faced him again it wasn't Charles. It was Raphael.
"Your boss will die," he said in a different tone and Reid's eyes widened in helpless horror. "And it'll be entirely your fault."
With that he left leaving Reid to struggle against his bonds and try to escape so he could warn Hotch...before it was too late.
