Frozen Reliance- Chapter 1

Phone Calls

"..............Hope you guys like it! If you review I will send you virtual Spencey cookies!"

The day was dragging on. Reid was exhausted and wanted to go home, but the BAU was taking all the precautions they could. The safest place for them to be right now was in the BAU. If they were anywhere else, the UnSub could track them down and possibly harm them. So far, everything was quiet, but there was something about the latest threat that made red alarms sound in Reid's head. Something wasn't right.

"Alright, so the UnSub we are looking for has killed three women and four men. They were all found dead in the woods, and they were all brutally attacked by an animal. The coroner still isn't sure what type of animal could have caused these marks that are indigenous to the area." JJ told the group. "He completely isolates his victims and leaves them in the woods." Just as she was about to continue, Prentiss's phone started to ring.

"Huh. This is from an unknown caller." Prentiss said.

"Morgan, get Garcia to track the call. This might be about that threat we just got," Hotch said immediately. Morgan nodded, and quickly left the room. Once Garcia was set up, Morgan came back and nodded to Prentiss to answer the phone.

"Hello?" she started.

"I'm assuming you've read the letter." a husky voice croaked.

"I'm sorry, but what letter?" Prentiss asked, playing dumb.

"Don't be a smart-ass Miss Prentiss. I know that SSA Aaron Hotchner talked to everyone of you about it. I will in fact get you all, eventually." he said, sounding angry.

"I still don't-"

"NO! DON'T PLAY THESE GAMES WITH ME!' he shouted. "There will be time to play games later." With that, he hung up. Just as quickly as he hung up, another cell phone started ringing. This time Morgan picked up.

"There rules of the game are simple. Don't misbehave or someone will pay for it. Misbehave too many times, someone dies. And the last rule is the most important: stay alive."

"When does the game start?' Morgan asked, playing along.

"When I say it does." he hung up again. Once more, another phone started ringing. JJ picked up her phone.

"You will all be split up into groups of two. If you do something wrong, your partner gets punished. If your partner does something wrong, the next person in line, or the next lifeline, gets punished." The line went dead. This time, Rossi picked up his phone.

"The partners will be cuffed together with rope. It doesn't matter if you break the rope- it will do nothing. You try to escape the woods and I will kill your partner and the next person down the line."

"What do you mean? " Rossi asked.

"You'll find out." When the line went dead, Hotch answered his phone.

"If I paired Dr. Reid with Agent Rossi, and Rossi did something wrong, Reid would be punished. If Dr. Reid misbehaved, I would punish his lifelink. The lifelink is the person who's life is in danger of someone does something wrong. The lifeline is the person in charge of making sure they don't do anything wrong."

"How do we know who our partner is?" Hotch asked.

"Just be patient." He hung up, and Garic'a phone rang. As soon as it did, she went to the conference room. There was no way of tracking the calls- he was using multiple disposable cell phones and wasn't spending enough time on the phone to track them.

"The lifelinks are as the following: If Agent Hotch misbehaves, then Agent Rossi is punished. If Agent Rossi is bad, then Agent JJ will be punished. Then Agent JJ, Agent Prentiss. Agent Prentiss,Agent Morgan. Agent Morgan,Agent Dr. Reid. Agent Dr. Reid, Agent Garcia. Agent Garcia, a surprised guest." The phone went dead. Finally, Reid's phone rung.

"Dr. Reid, open your bag. Take out the book you have in it and take out its contents. The game begins now." The line was dead for the last time. Reid immediately took out his bag, and fished around for his book. Once he got it, he found a map of the woods on it. Scribbles in red on the back of it were the words: if you get anyone else involved, you all will die. And don't worry, I have provided transportation. You will know when it arrives.

"Damn it, how do we go on with this guy, Hotch?" Morgan asked.

"I think we should-" but then a loud sound coming from the window caught their attention.

"I think we found our transportation." Reid as he stood up. He limped into the next room, and stared outside of the glass window. Staring back at him was a helicopter. The BAU team followed Reid, and stared outside as well. Suddenly, it pulled closer and shattered the glass. Morgan pulled Reid back, making sure that glass didn't hit him. Once half of the helicopter was inside the building, three men walked out. They quickly stabbed a syringe in each of their skins, and let their bodies limp to the ground. The three men carried the BAU team to the inside of their helicopter as the other BAU teams gathered around. But by the time anyone had shaken off their shock and was ready to rush into action, the helicopter had already taken off.......

"..............tada! Is that better? :) Pleaz R&R!"
