My muse got board and decided that you guys would like another chapter so here you go!


Morgan tried to sleep but it was no use. The chains were in the way and the bracelets and collar were rubbing into his skin. All this and the fact that Reid was experiencing the same thing kept Morgan up.

He didn't know how long it was but eventually the door opened again. Reid looked up and Morgan turned his head. It was Emma but before Morgan could get his hopes up, Sam walked in behind her. He was holding a camera in his hands.

"Here, Remember to get close ups." Sam said handing Emma the camera and leaving the room for a bit.

"Emma what is going on?" Reid asked sitting up. She quickly signed to him and pointed at Morgan.

"Morgan, she says that Sam wants a video to send to the team to tell them to back off. I have a plan but I need help so Sam doesn't catch on." Morgan dipped his head in understanding.

Reid was watching Emma closely. Her hands were shaking and she kept nervously looking behind her waiting for Sam to return. Just before he entered she signed one more time to them before she looked at the floor.

Sam returned with a ski mask and put it on. "Ready?" He asked Emma. She nodded her head and turned the camera on.

Sam walked over and stood between Morgan and Reid.

"I believe these two don't need an introduction. You should all recognize your coworkers. If you want to see them alive I would suggests you leave the case alone. If we see anything that says you are anywhere close in a ten mile radius, both will turn up dead. How sad it would be if these two wanted to die which I will make them. They will beg and I can hear them now crying out. Now, I have some fun to get to."

Sam said and turned to Morgan. He walked over dragged Morgan to his feet only to slug him hard in the gut. Sam proceeded to punch Morgan in the chest a few times before he walked over to Reid.

He picked Reid up and was going to hit him hard when Emma came running over. She stopped the camera and tugged on Sam's arm. He ripped the mask off and glared at Emma.

"J! What the hell are you thinking? You know better than to interrupt me when I am teaching!" Sam yelled angrily.

Emma started shaking harder but tried to say something to him. She tried to sign but her shaking got worse and she started to waver on her feet.

Sam's eyes went from mad to worry as Emma's knees gave out. She managed to catch herself without damaging the camera. Her eyes were closed and she was taking shaky breaths.

"J!" Sam said leaving Reid and going to Emma. "J… what is wrong? Are you okay?" Sam aid trying to get Emma to look at him but her eyes stayed closed and she kept trying to keep her head down.

"Let me talk to her. She is panicking and if it continues then it could get worse." Reid pleaded to Sam. He knew something was very wrong and if they lost Emma, their chances of surviving diminished to almost zero.

Sam glared at Reid but he conceded and moved around just a bit.

"J… J…" Reid said remembering what she told them yesterday. "J… I need you to focus on my voice. Ignore everything else just listen to my voice. Take a deep breath in and slowly let it out." Emma did the best she could and took in a few deep breaths.

Reid continued to talk calmly to Emma as Morgan studied how Sam was reacting. Once Sam saw that Emma was slowly responding to Reid, he took the camera from her and left them alone for a while.

"Good, you are doing good." Reid said as they noticed Emma's shaking calm a bit. She took a really deep breath and finally opened her eyes. She opened them and the first thing she saw was Morgan giving her a small smile.

"Emma… how long have you been shaking like that?" Reid asked.

She slowly turned her head and looked at Reid as she answered him. Morgan also turned to Reid so he could know what she was saying.

"Only for the past couple years and usually only gets that bad if she gets so scared her heart pounds really fast or if she is alone and she can't stop thinking about certain things." Reid translated.

"What kind of things?" Morgan asked her.

Emma wrung her hands together but before she could answer Sam came back. "You okay?" He asked kneeling next to her.

Emma slowly nodded her head to him. Sam looked over and gave Reid a dip of his head as he helped Emma up. She wavered on her feet. She signed to him.

Sam glared at Morgan for a minute but spoke to Emma. "Alright J, I have to go to work now and as long as you behave you can stay down here. I don't want you trying to make your way upstairs until you feel better alright?" Emma nodded her head and watched him leave.

"Emma, when is he going to send that video to our friends?" Reid asked. She gave him a curious look but answered.

"So they will get it later today, good." Reid said thinking hard again.

Emma was barely shaking now and it seemed like she had gotten Sam to leave them alone for a little while which in turn kept them from getting hurt. Reid just hopped that the camera had been at the right angel and that the team got his message. He didn't know if his body could handle blows like Morgan took and from what just happened with Emma… their only protection was in danger of being no longer able to protect them.
