Chapter 3: Terror
Reid looks around the see nothing but red. He calls out for Hotch and Morgan but he doesn't make a noise. Reid starts to run but he doesn't understand why but all he knows is that he needs to find his boyfriends. He comes to a black door that has some light emitting from it. The genius pushes on the door but it only opens enough for him to look inside, what he sees he wishes he could unsee. There were two tables covered in blood but from where he stood he couldn't see if anyone was on the pushes on the door determined but frightened to see if there was anyone on those tables and if they needed help, the door doesn't open but a different door inside the room opens revealing butcher hooks and chains but there is no one. He stops pushing for a few minutes listening to see if there was anyone inside, when he didn't hear anything he pushed on the door causing it to open just enough for him to get through. The young agent walked quickly to the tables, on the top of the tables there were names and those names made Reid feel sick to his stomach. The names were Aaron Hotchner and Derek Morgan. Reid turns to the room full of chains and looked in trying to find where his boyfriends could be. He doesn't see them but when he turns around Hotch was on the table with his name. Hotch was tied to the table with tape over his mouth. Reid runs to Hotch but notices movement on the other table, he looks over to see Morgan in the same state as Hotch but he's just becoming conscious. Reid looks between them terrified. He goes to Hotch's table but he can't move his legs and he has to watch as horror flashes into Hotch's eyes as he gets dismembered by an unseeable force. Reid feels the tears running down his face, he can't help but then there is a loud bang like a gunshot. Reid jumps awake only to look up to see a man holding a machine gun and the glass from the doors at his feet.
"Where is my love!?" The man screams. Reid grabs his phone and sneaks to Hotch's office just like Hotch had suggested. Reid closes the door and locks it before closing the blinds and hiding under Hotch's desk. He looks at the time on his phone to notice that he had been asleep for 4 hours. He doesn't know how it's possible for him to sleep that long and no one waking him. He shakes his head, he can't go into his mind because he needs to call Hotch or Morgan or anyone that could resolve this matter without anyone dying. He calls Hotch first but it doesn't go through so he tries Morgan again it doesn't go through which could indicate that the man has turned off the service towers nearby or he has a blocking device.
'I could record what is happening and they might find him faster if he kills me or kidnaps me.' Reid thinks as he starts to record. He whispers into his phone, "The guy who has been stalking me is here. He has strawberry blond hair, white male, around 6ft 5, blue eyes, might weigh 290, he has a scar on his forehead that stretches from his eyebrow to his hairline on the right side. Please someone…..help me before he gets to me." Reid sobs silently as he hides his phone underneath Hotch's chair. He knows that if this guy found his phone he'd possibly break it and he does not want that to happen. Regardless Reid had had up his mind about not going down without putting up a fight. Reid waiting no longer than 30 minutes before he hears a high pitched male voice that causes the man to sound like a child.
"Spencer~ it's time to come out so I can show you a good time. Unlike those ungrateful boyfriends you have. How could they leave such an innocent and helpless child alone? It's just not right you see," The man's voice changes to a lower pitch causing him to sound like an adult, "Granted, I am the one who killed those people in wisconsin just so you and I could get some alone time together," his voice switches back to the child's voice, "Now come out so I can correct their mistakes~" The man practically sings out. Reid can feel a bad coughing fit coming on and he starts to panic. If he coughs he could and will give away his place but if he doesn't cough he will starting crying more than he already was. He chose that he could possibly cough quietly so he dug his face into the croak of his arm and coughs badly. It was so bad that he coughed up mucus from his lungs, but he has been coughing that but for a few days now.
"Oh?~ I can hear Spencey.~" Reid feels dread run through him as the voice comes from right outside Hotch's office door. The handle to the door starts to jingle as the man tries to force himself inside. Reid opens the drawer that Hotch had mentioned the gun was in. He pulls the weapon out and holds it close; he looks around looking for something to create a distraction with. Reid doesn't see anything and takes his place under the desk.
"Spencer open this door or I'm going to kill you!" It was the adult voice that spoke this time. Spencer sees the picture of him and the others. He smiles as he remembers how upset Hotch was because he had lost at a game of Lazer tag because Reid had Rossi, Prentiss, and Garcia while Hotch had Morgan, JJ, and Kevin. The only reason they won was because Garcia had hacked into Hotch's teams guns and stuff that caused them to not be able to shoot in a straight direction. Reid goes back underneath the desk just in time for the door handle to be shot off, "Spencer! How dare you defy me!" The man yells as he freezes, "I heard you in here…right?" Spencer holds the gun close getting ready to shot if he needs to. He is imagining what the worst case scenarios; he's going to be taken by this man and he will be killed just like those women in Wisconsin were. He won't be able to say he loves Aaron and Derek goodbye before he dies.
"Spencey!~ I won't hurt you much!" The man laughs as he walks around looking for Spencer, "You're way prettier than those girls I sacrificed for you." The man giggles. Spencer tenses as the man's footsteps stop at Hotch's desk, he got ready for anything. Spencer hears a familiar voice which causes him to look out to come face to face with the barrel of a gun.
"Freeze! Put your weapon down!" It's Morgan, they made it in time. Spencer pulls up the pistol Hotch is letting him use and points it at the man, his hands shaking badly. They stood there for what feels like forever before the man finally sets the machine gun down smirking, "See you later my Spencey." The man coos as he is arrested by Morgan.
