Chapter Ten: Where?
Garcia was lying on her side doing her best to keep breathing, but it seemed to just get harder by the minute. She was cold, thirsty, tired, and covered in blood. After Rigswood and tortured her for what to her seemed like days, he had lead her to that little wooden door she had seen earlier, unlocked it and threw her in. The room, or actually closet, was extremely small. There was barely enough room for her to stretch out and it wasn't much wider than the door frame. The walls were like rock and had blood stains all over them and the ground. It was completely dark since there weren't any windows or, from what Garcia could see, any light at all.
Her head was spinning and she just wanted to go to sleep and wake up in her own nice, comfortable bed. When Rigswood had first put her in there she had tried to open the door but not only was the door securely locked in place it was also missing a handle and when she had tried to get up and look around she collapsed from the pain that radiated throughout her body.
She couldn't remember ever being in so much pain. While she was with Rigswood she had tried to think of something else, but her thoughts kept going back to the pain. At one point she was able to imagine her team in shinning armor coming to her rescue, but that too had been striped from her mind.
'It'll be alright.' She thought to herself 'Derek won't give up. They'll find me. I just have to hang in there a bit longer' but even as she told herself this, doubt was running through her head.
Just as she was about to cave into sleep she heard a creak and then heard the footsteps that she knew all too well now. 'No, please no.' she said in a whisper as tears began to run down her cheeks uncontrollably 'I can't take anymore'. Then she got an image of Derek in her head and knew she couldn't give up, or at least not yet. She would do her best to keep her nightmare from seeing her cry, though she knew sooner or later she wouldn't be able to stop it, she would try for Derek and her friends. 'I won't let you down, guys.' She said quietly with her eyes closed as she tried to stop the tears.
A second later she heard the sound of the locks being undone and the door was slung open. Rigswood stood with a smirk on his face and blood all over his shirt and pants. 'My blood' Garcia thought to herself as she looked up at him.
"So, shall we get back to having fun, my dear Penelope?" Said the voice that caused her to cringe
Ten Hours left……
The team was tired. They hadn't slept and the most they'd eaten since this whole thing began was a bagel or something from the employee's lounge. They were all basically living on caffeine and were on the edge of a nervous breakdown, even if they tried not to show it.
"Damn, I knew we needed Garcia for our cases, but we aren't getting anything done without her help." Stated Morgan at the conference table as he ran his hands over his face
"You don't know what you have till it's gone." Stated Reid looking at some files from next to Morgan
"We've gone over the files a thousands times, re-terviewed everyone. We know who the unsub is, how he does it, what his profile says, hell we even know what he looks like, but we can't find the son of a…" said Morgan before he was cut off by Hotch
"We've had less before." Hotch said
JJ looked at her watch for the hundredth time checking to see how much time they had left before… well she tried not to think about that.
"Well, how long now?" asked Morgan who decided he needed to know even if he really didn't want to
"About ten hours." She said gloomily
Morgan then abruptly stood, rubbed his face and started pacing with a look on his face that clearly told whoever got in his way that they'd be died
"Um…Hello…" said a voice
"Hey, it's the substitute tech" said Prentiss as she sat in front of the laptop that was at the end of the table
"What do got." Said Hotch sternly
"Well… I was trying to get into that file you said Agent Garcia had found and well I was finally able to get something, of course it seems she left it there on purpose, but it's not actually a single file it's…"
"Hey, we don't care, just tell us what it says." Said Emily before Morgan of Hotch could start yelling
"Alright, well how she found this I don't know, but anyways. Like I said Joseph Rigswood doesn't exist, but Anna Rigswood does, or did I should say. It says here that Anna Rigswood was Joseph Marino's mother. Mrs. Rigswood married Kevin Marino when Joseph was nine, so they both took Marino's name. Mr. and Mrs. Marino were both died by the time Joseph was nineteen. Mrs. Marino died first apparently."
"Ok, so, that just proves we got the right guy for the profile. It doesn't help us find Garcia" said JJ
"Well, actually miss, that's not all Agent Garcia found. Apparently Kevin Marino had owned a cabin in the mountains. It's still in his name and the only other thing near it is an old abandoned factory a few miles away."
"That must be it. That's gotta be were he takes them and why we didn't find it. He took his mother's name, but kept his stepfather's cabin." Said Reid excitedly
"Where?" was the only thing Hotch said to the tech
"Ok, got a pen?"
"Just send it to our PDAs." Said JJ
"Oh…Um right, sure."
"Lets go" Said Hotch as Morgan was already heading out the door
"I called local police and gave them the address. We might need some help finding this place." Said JJ after she hung up her cell. The team was in the SUV driving as fast as possible.
"How long will it take us to get there Reid?" Asked Hotch from the backseat with Emily and JJ
"It's actually pretty far away so, about four to five hours."
At that Morgan began to drive even faster and drove in and out of cars. The others didn't even seem to notice; actually they were egging him on.
