Dave woke with a start, his head snapping forward but not getting far due to the strap holding him down. The pain he felt made him sick, his stomach churning in displeasure at the feeling of his hands throbbing and his arms almost burning. His mouth tasted like dried blood and saliva but all at once was bone dry too. He swallowed nothing and his tongue moved against the roof of his mouth from thirst. His face and shirt were drenched in sweat but he shivered from the cool basement air as it hit him. The Unsub at some point must have put a fan down here to circulate the air some or cool it down enough to wake Dave from his unconsciousness.

The door to the basement swung open to reveal John in what Dave had seen earlier minus the apron. "Your friends are such a pain in my ass. One of them...Luke was it? Actually thought interrogating me would get him anywhere," John laughed as he reached the bottom of the stairs and smiled at Rossi. "Now , I usually torture for fun but today I do need some information. Don't worry there is indeed a method to my madness" the Unsub said as he walked over and released Dave from the chair. Dave dispite wanting to fight the man and escape was too weak to do much more than roll onto his side and watch as he also released Emily. She watched John carefully as he left the basement once more, locking the door and leaving them in mostly darkness.

Emily immediately made her way to the fridge and began digging through it. It was quiet small with not much in it but she figured anything would do at this point to keep their strength up.

"What are you doing?"

"...Eating"

"We're being held hostage and you decide to raid the fridge?"

"He didn't say it was off limits" Emily shrugged as she pulled out a water for him to rinse his mouth out with and clean his wounds as best as possible. That's when she remembered his hands and realized she'd have to take care of him, but she couldn't, she couldn't get attached and then be the reason he died. She decided maybe she'd just let him do it himself and put the water back before sitting on the floor with a carton of tomatoes to eat herself. She watched Dave lay there limply, his arms twitching every once in a while and his hands still dripping with blood. His teeth were red and a grimace was permanently stuck on his kind but guarded face. Emily looked away unable to keep watching him with out feeling horrible for letting him suffer.

An eternity stretched by before the basement door opened again but this time there was a woman slung over John's shoulder and a gun in his hand. Emily pressed herself into the nearest corner as John dropped the woman on the floor and walked over to her gun raised.

"No" Dave rasped but it was too late, John killed her with one swift shot to the head.

"Oh David don't worry I've brought you a friend. You may know her as Agent Emily Prentiss" John inquired as he strapped his colleague to the chair that had once belonged to the other Emily. He then turned and with quite a struggle was able to wrangle Dave out of the chair he was laying on and back into the one he started in before tying him up again.

"No" Dave pleaded as he looked up and could clearly see it was indeed Emily.

"Yes Dave. Now if you behave like a good boy and give me what I want, she won't get hurt but if you don't..." John made the motion of slitting her throat with his finger.

"What is it you want?" Dave asked desperate to keep Emily safe. She was like a daughter to him. Hell the whole team were like his kids and he loved them like they were too.

"I want to know" the man paused and smirked "where the wild things are"

Dave stared at him in utter confusion a frown deeply set on his face.

John cracked up laughing "I'm just kidding what I really want to know is who Derek Morgan is because he's not on your team and yet he's also searching for me."

Dave kept his mouth shut the second he heard Derek's name, no way in hell was he going to tell this maniac a damn thing.

"oh the silent treatment. I see, well if that's how you're gonna play it then I'll just have to do this" and before Dave could react, Emily was awake from being shot in the hand by John as he stood over her. "Oh how good of you to join us Emily!" John said with a wide grin. "David and I were wondering if you were ever going to wake up!"

"Dave?" Emily questioned as she strained to see Rossi pale and slumped over strapped to his chair. He was watching her with hooded eyes, pain etched in his face.

"Maybe you can help us here. We were just discussing Derek Morgan, now Dave here doesn't want to say but you will or I can pull another one of his teeth out" John told her as he grabbed a pair of pliers and held Rossi's head back as he used the clamp from earlier to keep his mouth open.

"No" Emily said as she sent Dave an apologetic look knowing he knew she couldn't give this guy what he wanted without him killing them both. Dave watched her with a sort of acceptance before John reached into his mouth and yanked out a bloody molar by twisting it in every which direction causing Rossi so much pain he passed out.

"Wrong answer" John said before dropping the pliers, clamp, and tooth on the table and walking back up the stairs and out of the basement.

This man is insane, was the only thought that crossed Emily's mind before she too passed out from pain.
