Obsessed 4

Hello Reiders! It took long for me to update, sorry! It's not as good as I hoped, but I wrote it, so there you go. I hope you enjoy it.

Warnings – Drugs & Torture. If it makes you uncomfortable please don't read. (By the way, the drugs used are all my imagination, I really don't know if those drugs actually exist. I'm sorry if it sounds a little unrealistic.)

I don't own Criminal Minds.

Garcia and Morgan were watching the clock tick slowly as the rest of the team was on their way back to the BAU. Garcia jumped when her computer started giving a notification. It was an e-mail with a video and a picture attachment. Garcia stared at the picture with shocked eyes after she opened it. It was a picture of Reid; he was unconscious and barely recognizable, with all sorts of wounds on his fragile and pale body, with blood all over it. Morgan hugged Garcia and she buried her head on Morgan's shoulder. Morgan knew Garcia would be haunted by this her whole life. Morgan looked at the picture as he held Garcia in his arms. He was just hoping they would be able to get Reid unharmed. That seemed impossible right now. He had to get through all of this, and much more, if they didn't find him soon. He looked at the wounds on his little brother and his eyes felt teary. He gritted his teeth but punching the wall would only make Garcia more worried, so he held himself. He quickly analyzed the picture. All the wounds on Reid's body seemed to be superficial, but was probably enough to make him faint. He closed his eyes as a few of Garcia's tears fell on his shirt. Neither of them made another sound until the rest of the team arrived.

Hotch, Rossi, JJ and Prentiss entered the conference room Morgan and Garcia were in, aware of the terror waiting for them. The youngest of their team was getting tortured, and they were just going to watch it.

Garcia looked up from her chair when she saw the rest of the team coming. Hotch looked at the screen in front of Morgan and was faced with the picture. "Garcia, I can't let you watch this."

"Sir, I am so sorry but you can't make me go. Right now Reid is with some sick man who is torturing him and his only hope is us. This isn't about my well-being, this is about saving Reid and I need to analyze every inch of that video, looking for clues this man might have left us. This might be our only chance and we need to act quickly." Garcia waited for the unit chief's answer with expectant eyes.

Hotch looked at Garcia for a split second, he saw a unique and a powerful woman, who would do anything for her loved ones. He was proud of her for acting brave, so he nodded slowly, without saying anything else. Morgan and Hotch exchanged looks, and Morgan pushed the play button slowly. They were faced with Reid looking right at the camera, he knew what he was about to face. He opened his mouth, like he was going to say something, but then he closed his mouth again. He actually didn't need to say anything. The team was able to understand everything through his big brown eyes. The team looked back at the Reid on their screen with the same pain, unable to do anything.

The unsub moved behind the chair Reid was tied to, he didn't have a mask for the first time. He looked directly at the camera, this time not with a smile, but hatred and anger on his face. He kept staring as he told the agents one of the things that would haunt them for the rest of their lives if they didn't find Reid soon. "Whatever happens to Doctor Reid from now on is your fault. You caused me pain. Now I'm going to cause Doctor Reid pain. I know the team cares about him a lot. Now, he will pay for your mistakes." Reid made direct eye contact with the camera and shook his head slowly meaning "no" with gentle eyes that were filled with lot of pain. Then he managed to give a little smile to the camera. Although his eyes were filled with fear, but they were also filled with hope.

The unsub vanished from the agents' view for a few moments and they were faced with Reid staring at the camera with a strong posture, but painful eyes. He looked stronger from the outside. His eyes gave it all away, all the pain he has been through all these years.

The team got lost in their own thoughts as unsub appeared again with a full tray of knives. The unsub grabbed a knife and started moving towards Reid very slowly. Reid was looking at the unsub with mixed emotions of fear, disgust, anger and sadness as he came closer. The unsub slowly pressed the tip of the knife on Reid's cheek, making it bleed. This was the unsub's type torture. He didn't care about the pain the young genius felt physically. The unsub was trying to break him mentally.

"As I said," he spoke again "what I'm going to do to you now will be nothing compared to what you will go through soon."

The unsub slowly moved the knife to Reid's chest and tore his shirt open. "These may scar." said the unsub and gave Reid a little smile. This only caused Reid to look at him with more disgust. He hid his pain beneath his strong profiler self. Whatever this unsub did, he wouldn't beg for his life or scream. He wasn't going to give the unsub what he wanted. Reid knew that nothing he did would stop this unsub. He was going to torture him until the team found him.

The unsub moved the knife to Reid's neck and tore his shirt apart, causing Reid to shiver from the coldness of the basement. The unsub put the knife down and punched the young genius in the face, throwing the chair he was tied to backwards. The unsub kneeled down beside Reid and took out another syringe from his pocket. "This dose won't kill you; just stop him from fighting back." Reid tried to fight him as much as he could, but he was eventually injected. The second he was injected he felt numbness at his whole body. He recognized it immediately. This brought back a lot of bad memories, both for him and the team. As the young genius was struggling to breathe, the unsub untied him with very quick gestures. Reid knew how it felt. He knew how dying felt and he didn't want to go all over it again. The team was again forced to watch behind a screen as life drained out of the young genius.

Every part of Reid's body wanted to fight, but there was no way he could take the unsub down at a condition like this. The unsub grabbed a fistful of Reid's hair and dragged him to the middle of the basement where chains were hanging down. The young genius struggled, but he was actually more focused on being able to breathe as vicious coughs escaped his mouth. Even if he managed to do any harm, the unsub was a lot stronger than him and he wouldn't be able to escape. The unsub held Reid up as he was still fighting for air and chained him from his wrists. At least he had a chance before, but there was no way he could escape from here. As he was thinking about this, ignoring the pain on his throat and his fight for air everywhere started to blur. Just as he was about to get lost in darkness, the unsub quickly pushed another syringe into Reid's neck. Reid eyes went wide open as adrenaline filled his veins. He tried to steady his breathing but it was impossible. He struggled in the chains he was tied to with the effects of the adrenaline, but it was no use.

"It's kind of like a rollercoaster effect. Your heart would eventually explode if I gave you more of these. But luckily, I won't do that. I don't want you to die."

The unsub picked another knife and cut Reid as he held back his pain. The adrenaline was making this whole process a lot harder. He bit his lip to avoid screaming. After the second cut he was biting his lip so hard that it started bleeding. The unsub kept going, using different knife and cutting a little deeper each time. Reid gritted his teeth. He didn't want this unsub to get what he wanted and not screaming was the only thing he was in control of. Soon there was blood dripping from all over his body. Tears filled his eyes but none swept his cheeks. Reid held his tears back as he thought about the mental torture this would be to his team.

Morgan looked at his young, socially awkward brother. He was actually very proud of him for not screaming or crying. The anger he had felt had disappeared with the smile Reid gave them at the beginning of the video and gave Morgan hope.

JJ looked away from the screen as she saw Reid being tortured like this. Once again she found Emily's hand squeezing hers. JJ looked at Prentiss and saw the pain she hid in her eyes behind her strong posture.

Rossi felt like he couldn't breathe. How much more did Reid have to get through? He already had enough pain in his life and he couldn't take any more. Nobody could. Reid had to be hopeful until they found him, if they ever would.

Hotch couldn't keep seeing Reid like this anymore. "How long does the video go on?"

"Just give me a second, sir." said Garcia as she typed on her computer. She quickly did an analysis of the video and her took a deep breath. "It's a two hour long video. Neither the unsub nor Reid speak until the end of the video. But the other voices remain." She looked at the floor as she said her last sentence. Everyone understood what she meant. It was the sound from the knife and blood dripping on the floor. It was the sound of Reid's torture."

Hotch spoke with his firm voice. "Fast-forward."

Morgan pressed the button on the remote. As each second went by, Reid looked more and more in pain. The unsub beat him non-stop for two hours. Morgan paused the video at the last two minutes.

Reid couldn't help the little scream that escaped his mouth as the unsub made his final and deepest cut on Reid's cheek. Finally, the unsub moved back and disappeared from the camera's view, leaving Reid with blood dropping from all over his body and bruises on his face. Morgan pushed the play button to get the video back into its normal pace. The unsub's laughter filled the ears of the agents in the conference room as Reid fell unconscious.

The unsub spoke without coming into the camera's view. " Don't worry; I won't let Doctor Reid die. At least not yet. I have so much planned for him."

The agents were left with complicated feelings as the screen went black. There was a moment of silence before Rossi spoke. "At the beginning of the video he said 'you' first, then 'the team'. So he was referring to the second person, but not the plural one, the single one."

Reality hit JJ hard as she processed what Rossi was talking about. "He wasn't talking to all of us. He is doing all this to get back at one of us, but who?"

"Are we sure that was the clue the unsub was talking about? It seems like a stretch." Morgan was unsure what type of statement the unsub was trying to make. He usually put himself at the shoes of the unsub, tried to understand how he thought, what he would do. He couldn't do it this time though, not while this unsub was torturing his little brother.

"If we find that out, we will find the unsub. Garcia, I want you to analyze the video just like you said." Hotch looked at all of the team in the eyes one by one before speaking again. "This isn't your fault."

"No, it is not." Prentiss said it, but she didn't believe it herself. Everyone knew that the unsub was trying to mess with their heads, but deep down, they knew he was right. This was their fault. Maybe it really didn't matter. Maybe this wasn't worth it. Reid's voice echoed in Hotch's head: "If we can't keep each other safe, then why are we even doing any of this?"

They were all very surprised at Garcia's next words. "Reid will get over this. He is very strong. We will find him soon and bring him back home." A little smile crossed Morgan's face. This was another reason why they had Garcia around. She found light even in the darkest of times.

As the unsub said, this will be nothing compared to what I'll do to the young genius. *evil laugh* I got the "your heart would explode" part from Person of Interest. It is a very good show, if you don't watch it, do! I have very important exams around this time of the year so I'll probably not be able to update many chapters. I'm planning of updating very frequently after I get my final exams done, which is around the second week of May. I hope you understand and bear with me. Until next time, bye!

BTW WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE SEASON FINALE ANGELS & DEMONS? IT SEEMS TO BE A REID-CENTRIC EPISODE I'M SO EXCITED!
