Author's Note: We own nothing. (Well Steggy has her Ocs) Enjoy!
Hailey- Washington D.C.
Caleb- London
Magnus- Copenhagen
"You're not going anywhere alone," the Brit said crossing his arms.
"London, you're just being paranoid. I can take care of myself," the American growled. "You know that better than anyone else, aside from Copenhagen here."
"No, he's right. The three of us should stick together," the Dane mediated. "There's safety in numbers. Think of this as war D.C., no man left behind or alone."
Hailey pouted, much like a child, before giving into reason. Magnus was right, as much as she hated to admit that. There was safety in numbers, so it was better if they stuck together. All Hailey wanted to do was go and get something to eat alone to think through things for a moment.
"Cute little nicknames you have for each other?" a voice asked with slight humor in his tone.
Rossi looked at the three teens with amusement and suspicion. Morgan and Reid weren't the only ones who thought something wasn't right about this case or these people. Magnus gave him a crooked grin and said, "Yeah because Bloody Yank, Stupid Brit, and Dense Dane got old. Gotta freshen things up ya know?"
Rossi nodded but kept a close eye on their reaction. Hailey's eyes glinted with panic for a moment before calming. He saw that Caleb had grabbed Hailey's hand and gave it a squeeze. Rossi knew they were hiding something, but didn't press the matter. He watched the group walk off together before going to talk to Reid.
…
"How long do you plan on waiting? She's right there!" Antonio was fingering his well concealed weapon.
"Not yet. There are too many people around. Even my awesomeness can't make a clean get away with this many people around."
"Francis is waiting in the car. Guys sitting in cars for a long time start to look suspicious. I'm going in now."
Hailey was sitting on a bench eating a hotdog. Caleb was walking up to her mumbling about how all food in America was too processed. Magnus was at a food truck. He absolutely loved it. At his house there were two people who cooked, either him or his brother, so a food truck with a portable kitchen was the best way to keep him occupied.
Antonio started to walk purposefully toward Hailey. Gilbert was close behind. Antonio grabbed her arm twisted it behind her back and pulled out a cloth. A small grin spread across her face as she kicked up and caught sight of the Prussian. She was looking to kick someone's ass and since they were doing a snatch and grab she was pretty sure they were responsible for the others. She let out a quick yelp, "DENSE DANE!"
Magnus heard him being paged and rushed over to help, pulling a small ax from who knows where. He shouted, "STUPID BRIT!"
Caleb pressed a button on his phone, effectively notifying the BAU that they had trouble. All the three of them had to do was keep Antonio and Gilbert busy for a few minutes. That wouldn't be a problem as Antonio was already on the ground withering in pain. Gil had tripped over Magnus' thrown ax; Hailey closing in. Magnus had pinned him to the ground, and Hailey was currently making sure Antonio didn't get off the ground.
Magnus and Hailey had those two covered nicely, but how were they planning to get away? Caleb remembered something that Arthur had told him. He immediately went off to search for that bloody frog in a getaway car.
The British boy didn't have to go terribly far before he spotted a small pickup with a bed cap. Sure enough inside on the driver's side was a blonde haired man with blue eyes. Caleb swore quietly and snuck up behind the car. He took out a nail and jammed it into the tire as quietly as he could. He moved it around in an attempt to make the hole bigger. He heard the sirens approaching faster now and flipped open a pocket knife. He smiled and slashed the tire, hearing the air rush out of it as Francis swore and put the car in gear. He stepped on the gas, but lost control of the car because of the slashed and deflating back tires. Caleb spotted one of the police cruisers and screamed, "OVER HERE!"
Francis jumped out of the car and made a run for it. Caleb chased after him, two cops following close behind the teen. Caleb managed to catch up and tackle Francis, the two cops making the arrest. He made his way back to where Hailey and Magnus were. Magnus was sporting a black eye while Hailey had a bloody nose. Morgan was wrestling Gilbert into cuffs while Antonio just stared in disbelief at Emily.
"Emily Prentiss? You've grown Niña! Last time I saw you, you were visiting your grandfather in the French Alps!"
"You know this guy?" Morgan asked.
"Antonio and Francis are friends. I met him a few times while my mother was in France. I was a kid back then," Emily sighed. "Didn't think I could take you down did you?"
Antonio shook his head before Caleb triumphantly shouted, "WE GOT HIM! WE GOT FRANCIS!"
"How?" Magnus asked. "I thought—"
"Slashed a tire and put a hole in the other," Caleb smiled. "He never knew what hit him. Now all we need to do is figure out where they took Maria and the girls."
"…That may be a challenge," Magnus mused. "They're pretty stubborn…and they've been interrogated before. I'm not sure if we'll be able to get it out of them."
"'all Lubby," Hailey said attempting to stem the blood.
"Ludwig? Are you sure—"
"She's right. If anyone can make Gil squeal like a canary it'd be his baby brother Ludwig. That or Liz…" Magnus cut in.
Caleb went over to help Hailey with her nose while Magnus watched the two being placed into the police cruiser. Now, this is where things were going to get difficult…
Author's Note: Hope you like it, let us know and review. Unforchantly this is the last of the pre-written chapters, so the last two... maybe three... chapters will take a bit longer. Thank you for sticking with us!
