Derek, and Penelope had just finished their case, and were finally home. They knew something was wrong when Lily's backpack was outside, on the ground.
"This has her laptop in it,"Derek said,"she'd never leave it outside."
They slowly went inside. Derek had his weapon holstered, but his hand was placed so that he could grab it if he needed to.
"Lily,"Penelope called,"we found your backpack outside."
There was no sound. Lily would have run downstairs, while apologizing over, and over again. Sophie would have teased her about leaving her "baby" all alone outside. Then they noticed it. It was a tiny detail that anyone else would've missed. In fact, they probably would have missed it if it wasn't for the situation they were both in. One of the knives was missing.
Derek pulled his gun out of the holster, and mouthed,"stay here,"to his wife.
He slowly walked upstairs, praying that his girls were safe. He went into their room, then to the bathrooms, and saw nothing. He went into the master bedroom. He opened up the closet, and that's when he found the knife. It was on the ground. He breathed a sigh of relief, when he saw that it didn't have any blood on it.
He ran downstairs, and said to Penelope,"Call Hotch the girls are missing."
When Sophie woke up, she was chained to a wall, and naked. She was surrounded by women, who were also naked, and chained to the wall. Her thoughts went to her sister. Where was Lily? She sat up, and saw that her sister was at the other end of the room, where children were stripped, and bound as well.
"Don't cry,"warned one of the women,"crying only makes this worse."
Sophie tried to respond, but her attempts came out broken,"w-w-wh-at?"
"Don't try to speak just yet. The drugs they gave you make it impossible cfor you to talk for a couple of minutes. Don't worry, after a couple of months your body will adjust to it."
Months? She didn't want to be here for another second. Much less a few months.
There was a pitcher of water, and some paper cups at one end of the room. The women passed around a cup to Sophie. She took a few sips. The water felt good against her sore throat. The women, and children told her everything she needed to know about these people.
Apparently everyone there was somehow related to someone in law enforcement. At the end of every month they were sent to the auctions. There was a group of people who kidnapped the wives, and children of police officers, lawyers, and FBI agents, so they could sell them.
"So this is kind of like their screw you to the law,"Sophie said, finally able to speak.
"Exactly,"said a familiar voice.
The door opened. Everyone in the room inched away from the door. Some of the smaller children started to cry.
Jonas walked into the room. That kid from school. Sophie felt defiance the second she saw him.
"What the Hell Jonas? Were you so embarrassed that I kicked your ass in front of the entire class that you wanted a rematch?"
Suddenly her whole body ceased up. Her only thought was staying alive. Her body relaxed, but she couldn't move. Lily screamed.
"You are under my power now,"he said,"the only reason you're still alive is because of me."
Sophie whimpered. The children cried even more. He walked over to Lily.
"You're going to make me a lot of money. I've told a lot of lies to get my hands on you, but I still stand by my comment about you being beautiful."
"Please let us go,"she begged,"we won't tell anyone. Some of the kids are sick. They need a doctor."
"We'll take them to the pediatrician if they get sick enough. I'm not going to let my profits die because of a flu."
He walked away, leaving the girls more confused than ever.
"Does he really take the kids to the doctor when their sick?"Lily asked.
"Yes, they only take the children out when they've been broken. They teach them not to ask for help, don't run, and don't fight. That's how they stay alive."
