"Now tell me, who your least favorite team member is or I'll put a nice big whole in your leg." The team watched as Thomas held a gun to their technical analyst. All of them were cringing on the inside just watching it.
JJ could feel herself starting to shake a little. Derek too was struggling. He wanted to look away, but at the same time he couldn't. Rossi looked a little shocked, Hotch was unreadable as always, Reid looked upset and Emily too, found herself holding back tears. The team was being held together by a thread.
"My least favorite team member is..." Penelope's voice was so quiet that the team had no idea what she'd said and apparently neither had Thomas because seconds later he was shouting again.
"Speak up Penelope or I'll shoot!" He yelled, spit flying everywhere.
Derek felt a tear slide down his cheek and wiped it away quickly, hoping no one had seen. Someone obviously had since Reid stepped closer to him and whispered, "He won't shoot her."
"How do you-" Morgan started to ask.
"Just trust me." Reid said, eyes still glued to the screen.
"I trust you kid." Morgan replied, focusing again on Penelope.
"My least favorite team member is David Rossi." Penelope said.
"Why?" Thomas demanded.
Everyone looked at Rossi except for Reid.
"I mean come on, the man's had six wives. How can anyone stand to be around a man who can't make up his mind and jumps around from woman to woman. Who knows how many more they'll be. It's disgusting."
The team stared at Rossi, shocked, but he seemed unphased.
"She's just telling him what he wants to hear." Reid explained before Rossi could speak.
"It's more than that." Rossi said, seemingly lost in thought.
"She knows he's only had three wives, there's something significant about the number six."
"Six, six, six." Reid said.
"So it has something to do with the devil?" Emily questioned.
"Not necessarily. Just wait. It's a clue, but it's not the only one. I'll be right back." Reid left the room and the rest of the team turned back to the video which had been paused.
Thomas asked a few pointless questions. He seemed to be stalling.
"He's stalling, why is he stalling?" Hotch asked nobody in particular.
"It's because of the way he uploaded the video. It's an anonymous site called vidsend. In order to upload a video and send it. The video has to be at least ten minutes. He's up to eight." Abby explained.
She'd been so quiet that some of the team members had almost forgotten she was there.
"So you can't track it." It was a statement, not a question. Abby didn't bother responding.
"Derek Morgan be expecting a call at exactly 5:30 PM. It won't be traceable, don't even bother. If you want to speak to your "babygirl" then you better answer when I call."
Thirty seconds later the video ended. Hotch looked at his watch. It was 5:25.
"Five minutes until he calls. Morgan you have your phone?"
Derek reached into his pocket. The team stood around him and they all just waited.
At exactly 5:30 Derek's phone rang. He picked it up on speaker.
"What do you want you sick son of a-" Derek started.
"Now now Derek, if you want to speak to Penelope you must ask me nicely." Thomas taunted him.
"Thomas I would like to speak with Penelope please." Derek gritted his teeth.
A moment later he heard a familiar voice.
"Derek?" Penelope asked.
"Yes, yes it's me babygirl. Are you okay?" Derek asked. After a few seconds he realized that it was a dumb question, but she answered anyway.
"I'm scared." They could hear her sobbing.
"I know you are babygirl. I'm sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't have let you go out alone." Derek felt a little sick to his stomach hearing how weak and scared she sounded. But he knew she wasn't weak.
"PG, stay strong. We're going to find you. Keep fighting, stay alive because we're coming." Emily said speaking up. Repeating similar words that had once been said to her by Penelope Garcia herself.
"I love you guys." Penelope reminded them. She knew they already knew that, but it felt like she needed to say it.
"we love you too pen!" JJ said, trying not to cry herself.
"Garcia, are you in a church?" Reid was suddenly back in the room.
"I knew you'd figure it out, with the GODson thing and the six thing! I'm not quite sure, but I think it is, or at least it used to be." Penelope whispered quiet enough that Thomas couldn't hear. "There's a giant cross and lots of pictures of Jesus and a stained glass window and-" Penelope broke off and everyone froze when they heard her scream.
Thomas grabbed Penelope by the hair. "No whispering! We don't have secrets now do we...? Now what were you telling them?" Penelope cried out again as he dragged her by her hair.
"Nothing! I swear! Say your goodbyes, you have thirty seconds." Thomas said.
Penelope started to sob harder as he walked a little ways away.
"Please hurry, I love you." She said.
"Babygirl, we will find you. We will never give up on you, not for a second so don't you dare give up on us." Derek was crying now. He heard the pain and the fear in her voice and it broke his heart to hear his best friend hurting like that.
"I won't, I promise-" Thomas snatched the phone. "Time's up. Bring me any agent except Aaron Hotchner. If I don't have one of you before this time tomorrow, she dies. Your choice." A few moments later the line went dead.
Derek placed the phone on the desk and walked out of the room without a word. Anger bubbled inside him and hot tears rolled down his cheeks. "DAMNIT!" He shouted to no one. He went to his office, slamming the door behind him.
OOOOOOO
That was more than JJ could handle. She quietly left the room and went to the room she was staying in. Silent tears poured down her cheeks and she curled up on the bed. That bastard was going to hell and she wanted to be the one to put him there.
OOOOOOO
Emily let her go. It was hard even for her to hear Garcia's screams of pain. Normally she compartmentalized insanely well, but this was too much. Her eyes met Hotch's and even he seemed uncomfortable.
Reid was researching old churches within Virginia and Rossi seemed to be lost in thought. The team was a mess without their colorful tech analyst to keep them smiling. They needed to find her and they needed to find her soon. There was no way Hotch was letting any of them walking into his trap.
A/N: Please review! What do you think is going to happen next? What did you think of the video and her clues? Of course only Reid could figure that out. What did you think of the phone call? Should the team send someone?
