Here's the next chapter!
P.S. I don't know if Reid's apartment complex is called Sunset Village. I just made it up. Teehe!
Doyle ripped the tape off Reid's mouth. He took out a knife and began to trace around Reid's face with it.
"Why don't we make a little video for Emily?" Doyle said with a smirk.
Reid glared at Doyle and retorted, "Emily will never give Declan to you, no matter how much torture you put me through."
"Oh I think she will," Doyle laughed, "She won't be able to bear seeing the one she loves in pain."
Doyle left Reid's sight, so Reid began struggling at the cuffs that bound him, but they wouldn't budge. Doyle returned with one of his men, who then proceeded to set up a stand with a video camera. As he left, Doyle turned the camera on. Reid tried to scoot as far away from Doyle as he could get while Doyle approached him. When he finally got to Reid, he kneeled and turned to look at the camera.
"Remember, Lauren, you are to blame for this," Doyle began, "It's such a shame I have to have to hurt someone so innocent."
Doyle reached out to stroke Reid's face as he said this, but Reid jerked away.
"Don't touch me!" he growled.
Doyle just smirked and leaned in next to Reid's ear and whispered, "Make sure you scream loud for her."
He yanked Reid from the wall and threw him on the ground. He straddled Reid's hips and took out his knife.
"Get off me!" Reid yelled.
Doyle took the knife and made a long cut on Reid's left cheek. Reid winced in pain. Doyle then lifted his shirt to reveal his stomach. He started carving into Reid's stomach. Reid had to clench his teeth together to keep from crying out. When Doyle finished, Reid had a four leaf clover carved in his stomach. He felt weak; it had taken everything he had not to cry out in pain. He knew Emily would be tortured by the sound of his screams. Doyle sat Reid up so that his scar was visible to the camera.
"This was your fault," Doyle reminded with a smile.
"No it wasn't!" Reid protested, "None of this is your fault, Emily!"
Doyle struck Reid across the face and Reid's head whipped to the side. Reid turned his head back slowly and looked at Doyle with a smile.
"She won't do what you want, Ian," he said.
Doyle ignored him and looked back at the camera to say, "I will call you at one to see if you want to take me up on my offer. If you don't, little Spencer won't be so lucky with his torture."
And with that, Doyle turned off the camera.
Everyone was silent after the phone call ended. Even though it was hard, Prentiss was able to keep her usual composure. She couldn't believe that her past had come and taken the one she truly loved from her. Penelope was feeling horrible because she couldn't trace the phone call. Hotch finally broke the silence.
"We need to profile Doyle's actions so we can figure out a pattern. Maybe we can push him into making a mistake."
"First of all, why did he choose Reid?" Rossi asked.
"Reid is the youngest of us. Perhaps Doyle saw him as the most vulnerable," Morgan suggested.
"Reid is a lot stronger than anyone gives him credit for, but he does look the weakest," JJ put in.
The team kept discussing ideas about why Doyle took Reid, except for Emily, who remained silent and was lost in thought. After a while, she finally spoke up.
"I know Doyle better than anyone, and it's not any of those theories."
"Then why did he take Reid?" Morgan asked impatiently.
"Doyle kidnapped him because he knows that I'm in love with Reid."
