Hey everyone. I hope that you like this chapter because I enjoyed writing it. Just realised that by writing that I have made myself sound like a serial killer.

Thank you for all the reviews and adds, they were all wonderful reviews. I'm also happy that you enjoy the daily updates. I just love writing this fanfic and I love hearing back from you all.

Enjoy and please review!

All mistakes are my own

Hotch sat frozen as he watched the footage Garcia had recorded from the unsub's last contact with her, Hotch had let Garcia leave the room. She didn't need to see Reid being hurt again. Hotch watched as Jay Henson pushed Reid under the water, he noticed that Reid began to struggle fiercely, he felt a huge sense of pride for Reid as he watched Reid fight. Hotch couldn't help but feel proud of Reid when he saw the bruises on Jay's face.

He just hoped that Reid could keep fighting and stay alive long enough for the team to find him. Hotch knew that they were close to getting Reid back. Garcia had told him about another man in the video. Garcia had started running his face through every database possible and had continued to search for the person who had been financing Jay and had planned his release.

Hotch had never seen her so focused and determined in his time working with her. He knew that Garcia would rip down the half the world if meant getting Reid back.

Hotch's focus returned to the screen as he heard Jay yelp in pain. Reid suddenly came above the surface of the water gasping for air, Reid coughed a few times before he looked to Jay. Hotch looked at Jay's hand and realised that Reid had bit into Jay's hand hard enough to draw blood. Hotch felt happy that Reid had caused Jay pain, Hotch also knew that Jay was going to be in a lot more pain when he got hold of Jay.

Hotch looked the screen and saw the mystery man Garcia had told him about storming towards Reid. Hotch gasped as he watched the man brutally punch Reid. He saw Reid slump against the side of the tub, his unconcious form causing Hotch to panic. Hotch was further horrified as the mystery man yanked Reid out of the bathtub and punch him in the face three more times. Hotch was relieved when Jay came over and stopped the man from pummeling Reid further.

'Hang on Reid, we will be there soon' Hotch thought as he focused on Reid laying bloody and bruised on the floor. Hotch knew it was his fault for letting Reid leave the house on his own. Hotch knew he was going to be spending the rest of his life asking Reid for forgiveness.

Reid

Reid cried out as the unknown man kicked him in the back, Reid didn't know how the man was able to beat him for so long. Reid knew if the man continued beating him like this then he was going to die. His body couldn't take much more. He knew he was feeling stronger but his body still had limits. Reid could feel himself reaching those limits. Reid decided he was going to fight against the man, he didn't care if he died fighting back. All that mattered to him was that he was determined not to go out without a fight. He didn't want to die with world thinking he was weak, if he died he wanted the world to know that he didn't go out without a fight, he wanted to the world to know that he had been brave.

Reid looked around as the man took a few deep breaths. Reid was on the floor feeling every punch and kick the man had delivered. The look in the man's eyes already told Reid that the man was nowhere near finished with him. Reid remembered the tray that was still near the dental chair. Reid turned his body over and looked at the man's legs, Reid ignored the pain in his legs and kicked the man in the knee with all the force he could

The man buckled to the ground for a few seconds giving Reid all the time he needed. Reid dragged himself over to the tray, his body protesting the movement but his mind screamed at him to fufill the plan it had made. The plan that would either end with him alive and away from the man or dead in this hellhole.

Reid reached up and grabbed the tray's edge, the tray fell with a bang as did the surgical like instruments on it. Reid
looked at the scattered items and instantly grabbed for one object he needed to defend himself. Reid grabbed the scalpel knife. He turned round to find the man crawling over to him like a feral animal.

"I don't care what plans Jay has for you! You are dead!" the man screamed as grabbed Reid and sat on his chest. Reid whined in pain as the man's weight came upon his ribs.

Reid whine dulled as the man wrapped his hands around Reid's throat and began to squeeze. Reid made small whining noises as the man deprived him of oxygen. Reid knew that this was the moment, this was the moment that was going to decide whether he lived or died. Reid tightened his grip on his the scalpel knife and thrust it into the man's throat. The man's eyes bulged and his hands unwrapped from Reid's throat as Reid pushed the scalpel in further.

A fresh flow of blood squirted on Reid as he let go of the knife. The man tried to reach for knife as blood came pouring out of his throat. Reid watched as the man fell to the floor, the last noises coming from him being gurgling noises. Reid shuffled backwards as he watched the man die.

Reid shuffled back to the wall and sat against it for a few minutes. Reid realised then what he had just done. Reid realised that he had just killed a man. He had taken a life so he could escape. Reid knew that he should have felt some emotion at killing man but he couldn't. He knew he should have felt guilty but he didn't feel guilty, he felt slight happiness. The man could hurt him anymore. Reid knew he had had no choice but to kill the man.

Reid kept telling himself the words he knew he needed to convince himself he wasn't a cold bloody killer. It had been self defence.

Reid was ripped away from his thoughts when he heard footsteps outside the door. He knew that they could only belong to one person. They were the footsteps of Jay Henson. Reid bit his lip to stop himself from crying out in pain as he got to his feet. He leaned against the wall for support and looked around for something he could use to protect himself with. Reid hobbled over to the side unit and grabbed a small round metal pole. He hobbled back over and stood behind the door. He kept a tight grip on the pole, his breathing getting faster and faster as the footsteps came closer and closer. Reid froze as the handle to the door rattled and turned. Reid let the door open and hide him as he watched Jay walk in.

He watched as Jay froze at the sight of the bloody corpse in front of him.

Reid felt somthing snap inside him as he watched Jay walk into the room. Reid stepped forward and brought the pole down on Jay's head. Jay crumpled to the ground as he grabbed his head in pain. Reid hobbled a few steps towards Jay and watched as blood trickled down Jay's head.

Reid watched as Jay looked at him with a confused and fearful look.

"Please stop!" Jay gasped. It was then Reid felt anger and rage take control of him.

"Y-You never s-stopped when I b-begged you to s-stop," Reid screamed at the man as he brought the pole down on Jay's head with brutal force. Jay fell to the floor as he succumbed to the darkness.

Reid brought the pole down again onto Jay's head. He brought the pole down again...and again...and again.

Please review, I would love to know what you thought of this chapter.
