Chapter Ten: Rescued

Summer Raine's POV

I woke up to the feeling of fur on my face. I laughed. "Daphnie!" I said pushing my favorite ball of fuzz from my face. She meow-oof-ed in dissaproval and layed back in her favorite spot. I sighed. "Fine. I'll get up." I turned over and got up. I stretched and made my way down to my kitchen. I put a pot of coffee on. The door bell rang. "Coming!" I called. "Hello, Megan." The man at the door said. "Oh no!" I said as he grabbed me and kissed me fiercely. I lurched up in bed screaming, gasping for air.


Spencer's POV

The letter came October 9. My Birthday.


Dear Spencer,

Conner said today's the 7th of October. So since you'll be getting this in a day or two I want to wish you a happy brithday. I also want to apologize to Dad for all I've done. I wish I hadn't gone to prom. Then I never would've been introduced to Dilaudid and never would've caused you and Mom all that stress. I blame myself for her death and my father's and of course this. But Conner's been very kind. He lets me out to walk around the woods with him. He said that this is the last house we'll be at. He won't let me tell you where I'm at. We're married, we have been for a while now, and I'm extremely happy. I miss you. I wish I could see the family again. He says you won't find me, that I'm his forever. I've got to go now. I love you, very much. Tell Dad I love him, too.

Your dearest, Megan


"Megan?" Morgan asked

"She acts as a surrogate." Hotch said.

"May I read It?" Gideon asked. I handed him the note. He smiled slightly.

"Thank you, Summer." He said grabbing paper and pen a wrote down something.

"Wait, what?" I asked.

"When Summer was little, she would write little notes with hidden messages to me and Delilah. See, these bolder letters are part of the message." he said, tossing the paper across the table. "Get Garcia on the phone, We'vegot to find that house. I'll be damned if I lose her too." He walked over to the victim board.

We had put up a picture of Summer but I wish we hadn't. I couldn't stand to think of Summer as a victim. It wasn't right. She couldn't die. She wouldn't. I couldn't -wouldn't- let her.

I walked over to Gideon, I heard Garcia tapping away swiftly on her keyboard, making music of their own. "She looks just like her mother." he said. "It's a shame she never got to see her little girl walk down the aisle." He looked over at me. "She would have loved you, you know."

"What?" I asked.

"Delilah, she would have loved you."

"Oh, um..." I was suprised. This wasn't like him. He was different.

"Reid, Gideon come on we've found the house." Hotch said. I started to follow the rest of the team, but Gideon stopped me.

"When we find her, she'll blame herself. Don't object, just agree. No matter how much you want to." he said.

"Okay." On our way, my heart raced. I almost couldn't breathe. The ride took forever. It seemed like hours rather than minutes to get to the house. I swear my heart stopped when we got there. We rushed in to the house. Summer and Conner were sitting at the kitchen table.

"FBI! Get on the ground!" Hotch yelled.

"Daddy! I knew you would figure it out!" Summer yelled. She was tied to the chair.

"You bitch! I knew you were too good to be true. I should've killed you like I did the rest of them." Conner spit at her. "Whore!" he yelled. Morgan had him in cuffs, pushing him outside. Summer, now untied, ran over to her dad.

"I thought I had lost you, too." He said, hugging her close.

"You should give up on me so easily. I'm a strong girl." She said, through tears.

"I know." She frowned.

"He caused me to relapse. I don't want to go back. I'm resisting now, but it's hard. I would refuse but he'd just tie me up." she sobbed into his shoulder.

"I know, darling, I know. I won't let you go back. I promise." She looked at him and smiled. Gideon whispered something in her ear and she giggled. I started to walk out of the house.

"Spencer!" she yelled. I turned just as she ran into me. She hugged me tight enough to where I couldn't breathe.

"Summer, I can't breathe!" I said, gasping for air. She pulled away.

"I'm sorry. I'm just really happy I'm alive and able to see everyone again, especially you." Tears streaked down her bruised cheeks.

"Are you okay?" I asked, worriedly.

"I'll be fine. A little sore but I'll be fine." she said.

"Come on. Let's find out just how fine you are." I said, pulling her over to the paramedics. She was right. All she had were a couple of bruises and a bunch of sore muscles.

"So am I fit to fly?" she asked.

"You have no severe injuries, so I don't see why not." the paramedic said.

"Alright thanks." she said. Hotch walked over as I walked away, over towards Prentiss and Morgan.

"Hey, Lover Boy, did you talk to your girl?" Morgan asked.

"Guys, we're just friends." I said. Emily rolled her eyes. "What was that?"

"Here." She pulled Summer's mother's necklace out of her pocket. "It would mean a lot coming from you."
