A/N: Here is the next chapter. You can probably guess what is going to happen just by reading the title of the chapter, so I am just asking that no one shoot the author. Enjoy:)

Chapter 5- Taken

Walking back into the conference room Beth headed straight for Sarah's bassinet and placed Flopsy beside her. Returning to her seat Beth tried to rid the weird feeling of being watched from her mind as she tried to concentrate on her work. But apparently her attempts at hiding her feelings didn't fool Gina or Garcia, both of whom started to worry about what was wrong with her.

After exchanging a glance with Garcia both Gina and Garcia rose from their seats. Not wanting to attract the attention of everyone else Garcia stood by the door and waited as Gina walked over to Beth and quietly asked,

"Hey, can you walk with me some place quiet so you, me, and Garcia can talk privately?"

Curious as to what Gina and Garcia wanted to talk to her about Beth nodded her head as she rose from her seat once again and followed Gina as they made their way over to Garcia. Not stopping where Garcia had waited the three women stepped through the door to stand on the small landing. When the door had closed completely Beth looked to Gina and Garcia as she asked,

"Alright, what is it that you two wanted to talk privately about?"

Identical looks of concern appeared on Garcia and Gina's faces as Gina asked,

"Are you ok Beth? When you came back from going to your car you seemed a bit freaked, like something happened while you were outside."

Before Beth could say a word Garcia added,

"If something happened, or even if you had a weird feeling you should tell us. It's not good to keep things secret."

Disappointed that she had been unable to hide her feeling of uneasiness Beth heaved a sigh as she said,

"When I went outside to my car I had this feeling that someone was watching me. I even had a chill run down my back. Then when I was making my way back to the building I could have sworn I heard someone taking pictures. But when I stopped to listen I didn't hear anything."

Seeing both Gina and Garcia stare at her eyes wide with shock added to their looks of concern Beth added,

"It was just a feeling. I'm sure it was nothing. Don't worry."

Even though they didn't truly believe Beth's attempt to calm their concerns both Gina and Garcia made themselves appear calm as they nodded their heads in understanding. But at the same time both Gina and Garcia swore to tell someone, most definitely Sam, about Beth's experience when they next had a chance. With their concerns having been voiced the three women walked back into the conference room to continue their work.

The rest of the day seemed to fly by, and before anyone knew it the bright rays of the setting sun were shining through the gym's windows. After working on victimology for most of the afternoon a few team members, including Mick, Morgan, and Prentiss, decided to call it a day and head home. Not long after Prophet decided to follow suit.

Seated at the table Beth was once again going through the case file. Hearing movement at her desk Beth turned around to see Sam checking the contents of the diaper bag before he bent down and took Sarah out of the bassinet. Cradling Sarah in his arms Sam turned to look at Beth and said,

"I figured I would go ahead and take Sarah home; don't want to keep her here too late. Gina said that she would give us a ride."

Rising to her feet Beth walked over to Sam and gently kissed Sarah on her head before she looked up at Sam and replied,

"Alright, I shouldn't be too much longer and then I'll be heading home as well. I just want to go through the case file one last time and see if there is anything Morgan and I missed earlier."

Nodding his head Sam bent down and kissed Beth on the lips. Smiling, Beth watched as Sam buckled Sarah into her car seat before slinging the diaper bag over his shoulder. With a smile on his own face Sam waved to Beth as he made his way to the door where Gina stood waiting for him and Sarah. When the three of them had left Beth sat back down in her seat and pulled the case file closer to her and continued to read.

Nearly two hours later after carefully analyzing the content of the case file Beth was finally finished. Looking through the gym windows as she packed her own bag Beth saw that the sky was already covered with the nighttime darkness. With her bag slung over her shoulder Beth said her good-byes to Garcia as she headed toward the door. Walking through the gym Beth called Sam to let him know she was heading home.

As she stepped out into the night air Beth still held her phone in her hand, having yet to place it back in her bag. Holding her keys tightly in her other hand Beth made her way to her car. Just as she approached her car an arm came from behind her and grabbed her around her shoulders, holding her in place. Before she even had a chance to reach for her gun or to struggle against her attacker Beth felt a sharp pain in the side of her neck. Within seconds Beth was overtaken by darkness…
