Saviors- Chapter 10

Sweet Sacrifice

"..the long-awaited 10th chap!and yes, as in by evanescence thank you to all my faithful reviewers! Please R&R!"

The BAU wasted no time after the scene that Alice had caused. They bolted down, and went over all they knew-trying to narrow down the locations. But after a few hours of doing so, none of them could overlook the fact that Spencer Reid was dead- murdered by Alice- most likely.

"He didn't deserve to die." Morgan mumbled.

"Spence was my baby's godson! And now he's dead. It just isn't fair! He was so young!" JJ cried. Prentiss wiped her tears, and then went over to comfort JJ. Garcia cried on Morgan's shoulder as he threw his arms around her. Hotch and Rossi sat helplessly on the sidelines- knowing damn well there was nothing he could do to save their youngest team member. 'He's dead.' Hotch thought. 'My god- I'm going to have to tell his mother.........and his father. But not yet. Maybe there's still hope. The body was charcoaled, so they couldn't get a good look at the body. Maybe- just maybe- Reid's still alive.'

"Alright, everyone. I know that we're too close to this case to get much done, but we still need to try. There's a small VERY small chance that Reid's still alive. We couldn't see the face that well, and it might just well have been someone else. Maybe a police officer who heard some noise and went to check it out- I don't know.

'I''m not trying to give you false hope, but if we need to pretend that Reid's still alive to solve this, then so be it. At the very least, we'll catch the son of a bitch who did this to him." Hotch announced. The team nodded, and continued to search for Alice and Alec.......

Alice walked along the streets of Quantico-smiling. They would never find him- she knew that. She knew that she would end up turning herself in- her job was done here. And anyways, she wanted to see the look on Morgan's face- the overprotected agent that had shielded Reid from her- when she told him what she had done to Reid.

She laughed. 'This had been to damn easy.' she thought as she turned the corner, making her way to the BAU...........

Hotch and Rossi had agreed to give the team a break. They had been working hard for hours, and needed some time to rest and eat. "Meet back here in an hour." Rossi said as the agents piled out.

JJ was barely able to contain herself. Spence was like a brother to her, and now he was dead. The Godfather of her son was dead. She couldn't take being in the BAU offices right now, so she grabbed her keys and drove home to see Will and Henry before she had to be back at work..........

JJ raced out of her car and darted to the door. She frantically pushed her key through the slot with little success, and finally gave up. She collapsed to the ground, and started crying uncontrollably. Will came to the door, and opened it. Once he saw his wife on the ground, he immediately picked her up in his arms, and asked her what was wrong.

"Spence is dead!" she sobbed. "He's dead!" Will immediately frowned, and held her tighter. He had only met Spencer Reid twice, but from what JJ said about him, she really cared for him.

"I'm sorry." Will whispered. "I'm so sorry." He carried her inside the house, and sat her down on the couch- where she curled up on his chest and cried..........

Prentiss sniffled as she took a sip of her water- wanting so badly to believe that Reid wasn't dead. He was the youngest member of the team- and the brightest,too. It wasn't fair that he had died- there was so much that he hadn't even done yet!

Prentiss took a deep breath, then tried to collect herself before she had to go back to work..........

Garcia- the usually bright and cheery agent, sat in her office alone as she tried not to think about Reid. He had been through too much. 'Why is he the one who always pulls the short straw?! I thought mix-matched socks were suppose to bring you good luck! Well, if this is good luck, he's NEVER taking off those socks again! He'd probably be dead if he did!' she thought.

Garcia remembered all the Reid had been through because of this job, and realized that it would probably be the death of him. He had nearly killed himself trying to save Elle from the 'Train Incident',almost got blown up because of 'The Fisher King' UnSub, almost got blown up again when he was held hostage with Prentiss by Benjamin Cyrus, being kidnapped, drugged, and tortured for 2 days by Tobias' alter-ego, nearly got shot trying to talk down Owen Savage, the Riley Jenkins ordeal with his dad almost being a child murderer, and to top it all off, walked into a room laced with Anthrax! Did the boy HAVE a death wish?!

She wiped away her tears, and then silently prayed that Reid was still alive.......

Hotch didn't allow himself to think that Reid was dead. Even though everything inside of him was screaming "Reid's dead!", he wouldn't believe it. Reid was stronger than they all expected, and he was smart, too. He was positive that Reid found a way to stay alive..........at least, he prayed that was what happened.......

Rossi nervously paced the BAU hallways- afraid to let his mind think .he needed to stay calm, and thinking that Reid was dead, would NOT help him stay calm. He though about what Hotch had told the team- that Reid might be alive. He was afraid that his words had given the team a false hope. Because if Reid was dead, the whole team would come spiraling down until it crashed in hell...........

Morgan had gone outside of the BAU- swinging his fists around and hitting garbage cans and dumpsters. "DAMN IT!" he yelled. He though of Reid as a brother, and he didn't know how he would survive without him. He had made it his duty to look after that boy like his own the day Reid set foot into the FBI. Reid needed protection- they all did! But unlike the others, Reid had joined blindly, and had no idea what he was getting into. Morgan was just relieved that he had lasted- unlike so many other agents. Another thing that Morgan had wanted to protect for Reid was his innocence. But, unfortunately, this job had taken that from him.

Reid had always been criticized because of his age. Sure, Reid had joined the BAU pretty young, it suited him, and he had joined at the right place and right time, too. Ever since, Morgan and Reid had shared a brotherly bond.

But now, Reid was dead, and Morgan couldn't protect him anymore. He thought about what Hotch had said, and hoped to God that he was right.

Morgan breathed deeply as he calmed down. "Hold on Pretty Boy, we're coming for you." he said to the empty air around him. With that, he headed back to the BAU- where their search for the bastard that did this continued...............

"............hope that didn't suck! And 2 things- 1) this is my first insight w/ JJ, so I hope shes not too OOC. (which leads me 2 Prentiss- I don't feel comfortable writing in her POV yet. Does it show?) And 2) so I can update faster, chapters are gonna be shorter! Sorry! And dont sorry....things are about to get interesting! Please R&R!"
