Redemption and Hope: David Rossi
( B.A.U. Headquarters, Quantico,Virginia)
After lunch, Reid walked over to the evidence table and looked at the bag that had the envelope which was addressed to the B.A.U.
He pulled on a pair of blue gloves so the fingerprints wouldn't be smudged. Spencer opened the envelope very carefully and began to read the contents quietly. Fifteen minutes later, he heard footsteps approaching behind him, he knew that Morgan was standing right next to him.
Morgan: "Pretty Boy", what did you find so far ? Anything that can help us to find Rossi? I am getting antsy just waiting and not doing anything.
Reid: Ok, Morgan and I know you are usually a man of action. Yes, actually I did find something which will help us but I think I know someone who can shed some light on this letter and handwriting. Can you get Martin, "aka" Cooper over here?
Morgan: Martin and everybody will be right with you momentarily , "genius."
Spencer smiled and waited for a bit, he jotted a few things on the whiteboard until the others joined him. Reid looked over and realized that everyone was tired. We also really needed to find David alive and bring back home for everyone's sake but especially Erin, to whom he had started to be friends with recently.

( Meanwhile at the house where Rossi was being held )
Rossi noticed that his bandaged hand was hurting again and he really needed a scotch ! He wished that this was all a dream and he was back home with Erin and Mudgie . Dave reminded himself to keep calm and cool in his head right now or he wouldn't see the light of day again.
Ten minutes later, two of Yates's henchmen walked in carrying guns and a needle . Dave looked and gasped " not again, fellas."
One of the men jabbed the needle into Dave's arm and he struggled to get free but to no prevail.
Within a few seconds, Rossi's world was once more dark and he collapsed .
Tommy Yates ordered every personnel and everything out so the feds would never be able to track the house back to him or his friends.
One of the henchmen had one last thing to do before getting into the grey unmarked van, he pulled out a silver remote detonator and pressed a red button. *BOOM BOOM BOOM * and the whole house exploded up in smoke.
Unbeknownst to Yates and his henchmen, David left one clue behind which he tossed in the first shrub by the driveway. Rossi only hoped that Reid would decipher what was on the crumpled paper which had not been burned. David did not now for how long Yates needed him to stay alive. All he knew was that he needed to keep leaving clues for the team to find him sooner than later.
