Chapter 10: Lost and found.

28th January 2012:

The moment Emily's eyes lay on the corridor, she knew where she was. It brought back the depressing memories of being a teenager again! She had gained that uneasy feeling when you wished that you weren't standing there and that eyes were watching your every move.

The walls were covered in graffiti and there was only natural light coming from the broken windows that were dotted around. It was a school that was rotting and that hadn't been used for years. Therefore, decaying. What looked like what used to have been lockers was now a pile of crumpled up material with jagged edges coming off in every direction and a few flyers hung loosely to the walls which were also wrecked.

Every inch was covered in some form of dirt and dust rose up from the floor. Everything was stained brown because of the bacteria feasting away off whatever was left. Since Emily was on the first floor, sometimes the floor underneath her would creek because of how old and thin it was.

Emily kept to a creeping pace, looking back now and again. She hoped that she could find someone but she wouldn't know what to do if she ran into Patrick. He would most likely shoot her on the spot but then again, his location would be found out by whoever else was there.

Letting out a sigh, she approached another set of double doors which looked like they it was just another corridor almost the exact same as the last. So she pushed the door and it creaked open with heaps of dust falling to the floor. Analysing the lack off foot prints and dust falling when she moved the door, she knew that Patrick hadn't gone that way or anyone else for that matter. So at least she wasn't going the same way as him and possibly getting caught by him.

She slipped through gently and slowly shut the door with her hands behind her back. Stopping for a moment, she listened out for anyone talking and walking or anything. But when she couldn't, she just carried on down the corridor.

Every time she passed a classroom, she would always have a peak in to see if she could see anyone.

She did this for a few minutes before she came across a large window which the playground could be seen from. The few trees were still standing strong which looked like they had been planted in specific places. With grass around them, they looked amazing for the winter. There were also sets of benches under three yellow gazebos. But something else had caught her attention.

Right in the middle of the playground stood a figure with their back turned to her. She could only barely read what was written on the back that said 'FBI' and who's hair looked an awful lot like Reid's. On that same second, her heart dropped. Her team and come to save them. But she had to have a plan, she couldn't just go running down there because if Patrick saw her, he would kill the children for sure before they could even find their way back to them. However, she also knew that she couldn't keep it too quiet because of the time it would take to get Reid's attention, Patrick could have found her or one of the other team members.

None the less, she was full of excitement now and was hopeful because she knew that she would be able to save the children and herself from Patrick.

Emily decided to tap on the glass lightly to see if it got his attention but she soon re-thought that because the glass was cracking and Reid wouldn't be able to hear it from all the way across the playground. Huffing, she had another look around behind her to make sure that Patrick wasn't there and luckily he wasn't.

She scanned the school from the window again and saw that in another part of the building, the part she was in, Patrick was staring at her through another window, gun drawn to her. Cursing under her breath, Emily swore that she felt her heart plummet to the floor and stop working.

And then she went into panic mode and couldn't move a muscle. Emily didn't know which way to go or how to get out of the building so there was no use in making a run for it because Patrick knew his way around and would easily catch up with her before she even made it to a staircase. He had lived in the abandoned school for God knows how long. But once she saw him step away from the window and coming after her, she made light work with her feet and ran as fast as she could through the next set of double doors.

Her heart was constantly pounding in her chest and she snapped her head side to side taking in her new surroundings. But all it was, was another corridor the same as the last with classrooms coming off on the left side. Emily didn't even allow her a moment to think and just ran straight through the corridor, checking now and then to see if she could see a stair case. Even though the floor creaked like mad, that didn't stop her from running just as fast.

She looked back once she reached the next double door and saw Patrick at the end near the door that led to Ruby, Jack and Henry and she sighed when he ran straight past the door and coming towards her. She thought for a moment that he was going to kill them in an outrage but he had to get her before she could get her teams attention.

Opening the doors sharply she knew that she had to move fast. However, before Emily could take another step, she saw the floor crumbling in front of her and a gap in the floor which had fallen to the floor below. Material was covering the area and there was no chance of her getting across but to either jump or jump down. But she didn't even know how steady that floor was now.

Emily decided to jump down because it would probably cause her less pain and would be quicker to get up and moving.

So she went for it, she jumped down and painfully landed on her feet but that didn't stop her from moving even with the little shriek she let out. She had landed on the mass amount of material and knew her feet were bleeding heavily and thankfully she didn't break any bones. She turned around and seeing a door which led to the outside, she felt her heart drop to the floor again with relief and quickly made her way to it which was underneath where she had just been. Sadly though, Patrick had caught up and jumped down after her. But again, that didn't stop her. She burst through her door and screamed at the top of her lungs.

"SPENCERRRRRRRRR!" She cried out and before she could say or do anything else, she felt a big hand lock on top of her mouth and an arm wrap around her waist. Patrick had gotten a hold of her and was dragging her back inside. He wasn't caring about her and let her head hit the wall on their way back in. The last thing she remembered was Reid's frightful look, gun drawn and telling the team that he had seen Emily and Patrick and was going after them. That's when she blacked out.

*On the other side of the playground:*

Reid had been told to stay right there so the team could have eyes everywhere. They thought if they got Patrick out of hiding he would panic and go to the playground. But he had no luck so far.

After a few minutes though, he heard a cry for help from Emily and spun around to see Patrick grab her tightly and drag her back inside the building. Reid had got no time to react and drew his gun at the same time, calling Morgan, JJ and Rossi to tell them what he had seen. But he wasted no time and ran towards the building. Once inside, he had no idea where to start looking because there was no clue in which what way Patrick left. He did notice some fresh blood on the floor and followed that short trail but it soon came to a stop before he had even reached the pile of rubble. So he was stuck there until the rest of the team got there. , ,

Before Reid had even made it to the building, Patrick had thrown Emily's fragile body back up onto the first floor and was carrying her back to the children as he ran. He had her draped over his left shoulder and let her head hit every obstacle.

He had made it back to the door which led back to where they had come from and brought her down. Running into the computer room, he pressed a yellow button on the main computer key board and grabbed a set of car keys for a van.

He knew he wasn't being followed because Reid would never have been able to guess that they were already on the first floor.

Patrick opened to door the 'dungeon' quickly and Ruby, Jack and Henry screamed at the sight. When he saw the back of the wall had disappeared and a path leading outside he smirked because he knew that he had pressed the right button. The button trigged a hidden door to the outside in case of emergency.

"Aright listen up, if you don't do what I say, I shoot this bitch. Have you get that?" He asked them holding a gun up to Emily's head. The three rapidly nodded their heads and waited for further instructions. "You see that red van over there? You need to get into that when I unlock the car. Don't even think about running away or Emily gets it." He told them frantically.

All five of them hurried outside and to the van. They saw the SUV but carried on to the van. The path had flowers growing both sides and a few bushes. The sides of the school were covered in moss and the walls chipping away. But the ground was like a well looked after garden and shone compared to the school.

Patrick quickly unlocked the van and Ruby opened the door and let the boys in before herself. There was nothing inside of the van but a cream rug that covered the floor.

Emily was thrown into the back with them and the doors shut then locked. Opening the front door, Patrick sped off without leaving a trace. . .
