Chapter 4:
Dave told himself in order to survive, he needed to stay awake and focus. Dave closed his eyes for a few minutes then he heard footsteps and the knob turning. Rossi's arm was still bleeding and it hurt a lot. The door opened and he walked in with a smirk on his face.
"Have you figured out who I am yet, agent Rossi ? , " said the -Un-Sub-.
"No, all I know is that Tommy Yates is still in prison where he belongs, " said David. Just then, the door opened and Rossi's face went pale.
"Well, not anymore, Rossi! I have been planning my escape for quite some time. First, I want to try something with you," said Yates.
With that, someone jabbed a needle into Dave's other arm and then his world went dark once more.
Meanwhile at Dave's house, the whole team had assembled. Erin Strauss had brought a rolling white board and other supplies. Dr. Spencer Reid began to compile a time line when Rossi was kidnapped. Emily, J.J. and Alex opened up several boxes filled with current unsolved murders from Dave's office, dating back 20 years. They all knew it was going to be a late night.
All of a sudden, there was a loud crash! Everyone except Garcia and Strauss had their weapons out. The whole team was on high alert! Emily,Morgan and Reid checked the kitchen and the backyard. A few minutes later, all three yelled "clear." Alex ushered Penelope and Erin into the back guest room and waited. Hotch and J.J. checked the upstairs first and yelled " clear ", before going back downstairs. They also checked the dining room and the living room.
"Over here, Hotch! I found something with an envelope around it," said J.J.
Fifteen minutes later, the whole team was back inside the living room. Everybody was unhurt but shaken! Aaron put his blue gloves on and brought the red brick and manilla envelope over for all to see. Just then, Rossi's telephone rang and Hotch put the call on speaker. A familiar voice came through the line and a chill went down Aaron's spine again.
"Hello agents, remember me! Are you missing anyone? All you have to do is solve the riddle and find him, alive! Oh, and one last thing, you only have 22 hours left to find your beloved David!", said the Un-Sub-. With that, the phone went dead and there was a spooky silence.
"Oh, my gosh, I know that voice," exclaimed Reid.
