Hi...so here we are once again. Enjoy.
...
"Spencer Baby where are you?" Derek cried out. Penelope held Derek's hand tightly, while Hotch clenched his jaw.
"Derek…I love you," Spencer said softly. Derek's shoulders sunk. Something was wrong.
"Put it on speaker," Hotch said quickly as he saw the look of fear in Derek's eyes. Derek nodded and pressed the button.
"Baby? What's going on? Where are you?" Derek asked fearing the answer. Hotch was now on his phone calling the BAU.
"I love you Derek." Spencer said again and Penelope started to cry.
"I love you too baby," Derek said forcing himself not to scream.
"T-tell Tobias," Spencer pauses and the three FBI agents held their breaths. "Tell Tobias he was right, and don't tell my mom."
The agents in the hospital room froze. The same thought running through their minds. Tobias? They were then jerked back to reality when a second voice came in over the phone.
"That's enough," it was another male, he sounded angry.
"No, no please it's not enough, it's not enough," Derek winced at the sound of his lover's pleading. "Please let me say goodbye, just let me say goodbye!" Derek could feel tears streaming down his face. Spencer had wanted to say goodbye. Goodbye forever? Derek didn't know, he prayed with all his heart that he would see Spencer again, hear his voice, and kiss him once more.
Silence filled the small white room, only to be broken by Penelope's sobbing.
"We will find him Garcia," Hotch said. "We always do." Penelope wiped her face and reached over to clear Derek's tears away.
Derek couldn't move he was sure his heart was going to explode. He had never been so afraid in his life. Not even when he had seen Spencer being washed down after the anthrax scare. It was his voice. Spencer had never sounded more distraught, more sacred, more…defeated. Derek knew Spencer was strong but after everything he had been through Derek was unsure if his little genius could take anymore before he gave up completely.
"When can I get out of here?" Derek asked suddenly. He was going to save Spencer no matter what.
"Derek you have to stay awhile," Penelope said. "The doctors need to make sure you don't have any more poison in you."
"I want to leave," Derek insisted. "I need to leave."
"Derek," Hotch said sternly. "I know you want to help but if you are still sick you can't help anyone." Derek sighed he knew Hotch was right but he felt more then useless.
"Please Hotch give me something to do," Derek asked.
"I'll find something," Hotch agreed. "I'm going to get the team, Garcia we need you in the office."
The lab tech looked from Hotch to Derek, unsure who needed her more.
"Go baby girl," Derek said. "Go help fine Spencer."
"Right," she said and stood on shaky legs. "I'll need your phone," she said sadly. Derek closed the phone that was loosely held in his hand. He handed it to her and she gave him her own phone. She placed the bedazzled pink phone in Derek's hand. "I'll call you soon okay?"
"Okay," Derek agreed and watched them leave the room. He let himself collapse. He cried and didn't hold back. Tears poured from his eyes. He tried to remember what had happened to him. The only thing that was clear was the anger. The pure fury he felt at Spencer. He tried to tell himself that it was the drugs but he couldn't help but feel some of it was real.
He then remembers one other thing. Spencer face flared up in his mind. He was scared, his eyes were wide and held so much terror. Derek let out a little scream, because he knew he had put it there.
...
Hotch rushed down the halls of the Hospital, with Penelope trailing behind him. He was furious. Spencer had been taken, again. He hated losing the youngest member of the team. Hotch swore to himself that when the boy came back, because he was sure that they would find him, he would shove a GPS into his arm.
He reached the car in record time and slammed the car door when he got in. Penelope got in to and he could see her shaking hands. Hotch put on the siren and speed off. Penelope gazed out the window and bit the inside of her cheek. Then a hand was suddenly on hers.
"We will find him Penelope," Hotch said not taking his eyes off the road ahead of him. He let go of her hand and she put on a brave face.
"I know, I know we will," She smiled but behind it was all her fears. The greatest one being; finding Spencer but not finding him in time. They had had so many close calls and she was sure that their luck was going to run out soon.
They arrived at the BAU and rushed inside. The rest of the team greeted them. Hotch didn't stop for them, he just went to the meeting room, the rest followed. They all sat down and Kevin came in. Hotch nodded to him and he took a seat next to Penelope. Penelope grabbed his hand.
"Spencer's been taken again," JJ said, her voice betraying her. Everyone could see she was close to tears.
"Yes," Hotch said.
"Kevin told us," Prentiss said.
"Do you think his abduction and Morgan's poisoning is related?" Rossi asked.
"It is possible," Hotch said. "I think they are, it would be too much of a coincidence if they weren't." The team nodded.
"How is Derek?" JJ asked. She never got to the hospital and was worried.
"He is doing alright," Hotch said but did not elaborate more. "Kevin would you please play the recording you have?"
"Sure," Kevin said quietly. He used a remote and flick on a screen and played the bit of the conversation he had recorded.
"-you too baby," Derek's voice said.
"T-tell Tobias…Tell Tobias he was right, and don't tell my mom." Spencer said.
"That's enough," the mysterious man said.
"No, no please it's not enough, it's not enough. Please let me say goodbye, just let me say goodbye!"
The recording cut off.
"Tobias?" JJ said first. "What did he mean by tell Tobias?"
"I'm not sure," Hotch admitted.
"It could be a clue," Rossi said. Emily nodded she had the same idea. "He's to smart to not leave us without anything."
"Maybe the person who took him had a relation to Tobias?" Prentiss suggested.
"But," JJ said. "If he did he would have cut off the phone much earlier. The name would have tripped him off that Spence was giving a clue."
"She's right," Hotch said. "What was he right about? What did Tobias say to Reid that was true?"
The team was silent for a moment going over the case they all wanted to forget.
"Garcia I want everything we have on that case," Hotch said. "We need to go over it fast and find out what Reid wanted us to know."
"Right," Penelope said as she got up and pulled Kevin with her.
"Did Derek have any idea who could have taken Spencer?" JJ asked.
"No," Hotch said. "He couldn't remember anything because of the drug. He did say that he and Spencer were having a fight though."
"Over what?" Emily asked.
"He couldn't remember," Hotch said sinking into his seat.
"Could he remember anything?" Rossi asked.
"He said he just remembered being angry," Hotch paused for a moment. "He remembered being mad at Spencer."
"Why," JJ said more to herself.
"It could have been the drug," Hotch tried to reassure her.
"Yeah," JJ said but wasn't convinced.
Penelope came back in with many case files in her arms. She placed them on the table and spread them out to the team.
"Kevin is running the other man's voice and trying to see if he can pick up any of the background noises." She said as she sat down and took a file for herself.
"Good," Hotch said flipping open a folder.
The profilers scanned the case looking for anything that would help them decipher Spencer's clue. JJ's heart broke when she re-read the file. Spencer had been though so much why did all the bad things have to happen to him. There was a picture of Spencer foot in her file, she cringed at the sight and hoped that they would find him without a single bruise. She knew it would be a miracle if he wasn't hurt, but she felt that they were due for a miracle or two.
"He calls him a sinner," Emily spoke up.
"What?" Rossi asked.
"In the transcript for the videos," Everybody flinched. "Tobias calls Spencer a sinner and Spencer tells him he's not. Could it be a sin? Could his clue be related to a sin?" Emily asked.
"Maybe," Hotch said. "But what sin?"
"And how would a sin help us find him?" Rossi asked. "We don't know enough to figure out what the sin would mean. We need to know what happened before Spencer was taken."
They all nodded. They couldn't help Spencer until they knew more, and the only person who could tell them answers was sitting alone in a hospital bed.
...
So here we are again...at the end.
