Redemption and Hope: David Rossi
Chapter 2
( 215 Dunbar Street- residence of Tommy Yates's friend)
Dave's head was hurting badly ! He didn't dare look at his neatly stitched and bandaged right hand. Dave slowly opened his eyes to find himself on top of a bed with his left hand cuffed to the post. Looking around the room, he saw two windows, a small bathroom and a telephone. Dave knew in order to survive Yates's twisted and sick game, he had to cooperate and gain his captor's trust ! Right now, he really needed to go the bathroom !
Dave didn't even know where he was and he needed to ask Yates some questions before anything escalated and even worse, someone died !
Just then, the door opened and Tommy Yates walked into the room with one of his henchmen following him.
Yates: " Billy, you can leave us alone, now. It's ok ! Dave- here will be a good boy ! Rossi knows what I'll do to his other hand if he doesn't behave.
Isn't that right, Dave ? "
Rossi : " Yeah, Tommy I do ! Can you do me a favor and un-cuff my left hand so I can use the bathroom over there in the corner?
I am not going to escape if you are worried ! Where would I go ? I want to stay alive as much as you don't want to get caught by my team quicker than you want. I know that you like to play games with the F.B.I. but you need "me" for leverage. If you want your cousin out of prison then comply with the B.A.U. wishes for now. At the end of your sick game, we can have one "last" test. Once for all, find out who is the better man to survive but for now, let's move one step at a time. ok? "
Yates: " You're one smart negotiator, David ! I'll listen to your man , Hotchner for now because I want Cooper to help me with my game.
Alright, Billy will un-cuff you but he and Mason will stand guard right outside this door. Don't try any funny business or I'll just shoot you on the spot !
Understand ? Well, look at the time, gotta go ! I am going to call your esteemed fellow B.A.U. agents and pick up Cooper.
See you in two hours and oh by the way, this room is monitored by one of my friends. Don't try anything stupid ! "
After Yates left, Billy came in and un-cuffed Rossi's hand, he left David to scamper off to the bathroom and think about what Yates had told him.
For the next twenty minutes, Rossi tried to come up with a plan to escape later on. Rossi chuckled to himself, Yates had taken David's cell,gun and badge but left his watch alone. Unbeknownst to Yates, the watch actually had a locator inside it. Rossi just needed to activate the watch in a way that the henchmen wouldn't suspect anything. Five minutes later, Dave pressed the button and prayed.

B.A.U.
Penelope Garcia's Office
Typing quickly on her keyboard for any configuration where the phone call had originated from but nothing so far !
Just when all was lost, her computer got a faint " beep,beep " and she was completely surprised. By some miracle, Rossi had worn the "special" gadget watch which the bureau had given him and the others, a few months ago. Garcia remember that he never wears it in the office unless there was an important reason or event. Penelope dialed for Hotch and the rest of the team to come to her office, right away.
Fifteen minutes later, Hotch, Morgan,J.J. ,Spencer, Kate and Erin were all waiting to hear why they had summoned .
Penelope: " I found him! Remember when I told everyone that I had written a specific program to monitor the "special" gadget watches that you all got while ago ! Anyway, I think most people had forgotten that the watch has several features including the GPS tracking one.
Well, crime fighters ! I got several beeps from Rossi's watch which he activated ten minutes ago. "
Hotch: " Where is he, Garcia ? Can you show us on the map and send an address ? "
Garcia : " Actually sir, - that's where the program has a small glitch. I can narrow th coordinates to a small proximity of where David might be.
The program is still in it's infant stages and I am trying to fit the problems. Sorry, sir ! "
Morgan : " Don't worry about it, baby girl ! Share us what you have so far, ok ! "
Ten minutes later, Penelope had configured Dave's coordinates to an area within 500 miles of Quantico and the F.B.I building.
After twenty minutes, the team finally came up with 5 possible locations to where Rossi was being held. Just when Hotch was going to call Andi Swan and her team, the telephone rang in the conference room. Aaron pressed the speaker button and looked at the clock.
Hotchner : " Hello Yates ! Right on time, where do you want to drop off Cooper? The paperwork went through and he's being released as we speak.
I've held up my side of the bargain ! Can I please talk to agent Rossi again to make sure he's alive ! "
Yates : " Ha, Ha ! I'll do a favor for you, Hotchner. If your boy genius there ,can decipher the first riddle then you will find your reward !
Enough chit chat, have one of your agents pick Cooper up from the prison and drop him off at the west entrance of " Ferragut Square " near the Information Booth, in 20 minutes. Cooper will leave a envelope with the B.A.U.'s name on it, taped to the third bench on the left.
Don't follow him or Rossi's a DEAD MAN !
