THANK YOU again mabelreid for beta reading for me.

The Rescue

Wilson began hitting Reid furiously with the baseball bat he bought in. He lashed out and vented all his rage as he hit Reid with the bat.

"Like father like son. Both of you dumped Diana to fend for herself. I want Raymond Reid to pay for what he did."

Reid could feel that a few of his rib bones were broken by the beating. As the bat hit his face, he could feel blood trickling from his nose and broken lips. After numerous blows, Wilson dropped the bat and thrust the cigarette that he was smoking on to Reid's neck. Reid felt his skin burning, and it felt like what hell must feel like, but he refused to cry, or show his pain.

"Stop…" Reid shouted angrily! "It's a misunderstanding. My dad did not abandon my mom." However, this made Wilson even more furious.

"Liar," Wilson threw the cigarette away!

He strangled Reid with both his hands. Reid struggled to get more air, but there was nothing he could do as his hands were cuffed behind the chair. Reid thought that he was going to die as darkness started crawling into his vision. Suddenly, he felt the pressure around his neck loosen and he could feel air slowly filling up his lungs. As his vision became clearer, so did Wilson's face just inches away from his?

The man had an evil smile on his face. "Don't worry I'm not going to kill you yet. I have a better idea. Your father should be arriving here soon and I'm going to give him the best present he's ever received."

Although it terrified Reid to ask, he needed to know what Wilson had planned.

"What do you mean?"

"I didn't cover my tracks when I took you because I want Raymond to find me. I believe that your team has already gotten my vehicle number and is on their way here now." Before Reid could speak again, Wilson knocked him out.


Gordon jumped out of the car as soon as Gideon pulled in front of the house. He ran toward the house, but was stopped by Gideon.

"What are you doing? My son is in danger because of me. I need to save him." Gordon shouted angrily.

JJ was shocked by his reaction as she'd never seen Gordon lose his temper.

"We're not even sure if they're in there and if they are, he'll kill Reid if he sees you. He's doing all this to get back at you. So if you want to save Reid, we have to wait for the rest and go in together." Gideon said.

"You're right. Sorry… I just lost it."

"It's okay, I understand."

Hotch, Elle and Morgan arrived just in time.

"Morgan, Gordon and JJ, the three of you enter via the back door. Gideon, Elle and me will go in from the front." Hotch instructed. The team split up as they proceeded to save their youngest from the un-sub.

Once they had positioned themselves, Morgan and Hotch kicked the doors and entered the house at the same time. The kitchen was a mess with unfinished canned drinks and food. Morgan, Elle and JJ moved into the living room to meet the rest of the team. There was nothing much in the living room except for a sofa and a television.

There was a room at the end of the corridor, and Hotch signaled for the Morgan to move in with him first, while the rest followed behind. Gideon pulled at Gordon's arm to stop him from following.

"Stay here… He might kill Reid once he sees you."

Gordon was about to protest, but he knew it was true. Gideon left Gordon and followed the team. Once they reached the door, Morgan kicked in the door and moved in with Hotch close behind. They saw an unconscious Reid bound to the chair with a man pointing a gun at his temple.

"What took you guys so long?" Wilson scanned the group of people that came in and became furious when he didn't see Gordon.

"Where is Raymond? Doesn't he care about his son, or is he going to dump him just like what he did to Diana?"

"Wilson… Drop the gun and let Reid go. This has nothing to do with him and you won't escape if you kill him." Hotch said.

"Ha… Escape… I have no intention of that. I just want him dead and for Raymond to suffer for the rest of his life."

"Do you really think that you can destroy Raymond by killing Reid? He has a wonderful family, a beautiful wife and two brilliant kids. What makes you think that he would be upset if the son of the woman he dumped died? Look around you…He's not even here. Do you still think that he cared?" Gideon said.

"You're lying… I saw the way Raymond looked at him. It must be you who stopped him from coming." Wilson shouted furiously waiving his gun towards Gideon.

Hotch took this moment to fire his gun at Wilson. The bullet hit Wilson in the chest and he staggered a few steps away from Reid before collapsing onto the floor.

The team hurriedly moved towards Reid to make sure that he is okay. Gordon rushed in upon hearing the gunshot and was relieved to see Wilson collapsing onto the floor. While Morgan is releasing the handcuffs from behind Reid, Gordon shook him gently to wake him up. Reid's eyes slowly fluttered open to look at his teammates. As he turned toward Gordon, his eyes widened and he shouted "No…"

At the same time, a second gun shot went off…
