"What do you mean she is gone? I just talked to her this morning about us coming there." I tell Hotch.

"She was on her way to come talk to Cruz since she hasn't met him yet and after she didn't make it to the meeting, the FBI sent a car to look for her. The car she took was on the side of the road ten minutes from here." Hitch tells us. "We are going to the site right now. Penelope and Kevin. I need you two to look for anything to help us. Can you do that or should we get someone else?" He asks the two it analysts.

"No, we can do it." Penelope tells Hotch.

"Yes sir, we can do it." Kevin says. They exit the room and we all look at Hotch.

"Why would anyone want Gwen?" I ask Hotch. "She has been in training for the last five months. She hasn't done anything to hurt anyone or put anyone away."

"It could be to hurt us. The unsubscribe could know how important she is to is and want to hurt someone innocent but someone who will hurt us." Hotch says. He looks at us. "Can anyone not do this case?" He asks looking at me.

"I'm fine. I just need to get Gwen back." I tell him. Alive I think, thinking of Maeve and the conversation I had with Gwen before she left.

If I could trade places with Maeve and bring her back, I would. Just so you two would be happy together.

I didn't want Gwen dead too. I don't know if I would be to stay in this job if she did die. I shake my head and follow the team to the cars. Rossi looks at me and smiles softly. "We'll find her kid." He says to me.

I nod and look out the window. He was in the same boat I was. He just lost Strauss and now he might lose his daughter figure. We both needed Gwen to be okay. We get to we're her car was found and we all get out. "We haven't touched anything for you." The police tell us as we walk to the car.

"Thank you." Hotch says and we look at the car. "Okay so she must have stopped because no one was in the car with her."

"She would have stopped for a number of reasons. Gwen had a big heart." Blake says.

"Has." I correct her.

"What?" Blake asks.

"You said had. She has a big heart. Gwen isn't dead." I say and look and the front seat. "She wasn't pulled out so she must have been asked to help or maybe some animal was hurt."

"Okay say it was someone looking for help, there would have to be some type of evidence for that." Morgan says.

We all start looking around. "I have something." Rossi says and we all run over. In his gloved hand, he was holding a cat necklace. "I gave this to her as a pre-graduation gift. I wanted to show her I was proud of her."

"Let's get it to evidence and see if there are other finger prints on it." Hotch says and gives the necklace to the officers who were assisting the case.

"Did anyone else find any proof of Gwen getting kidnaped?" Hotch asks.

"There are tire marks but that could have already been here." JJ says.

"Let's get a photo of it to Garcia and see if she can find out anything." Hotch says and get back into the cars.

"She wouldn't have just dropped that necklace for no reason. She was so happy when I gave it to her." Rossi says as we head back. "She told me that she had never been give a graduation gift and that she would always wear it. Gwen is not a liar. If she didn't like it, she would have told me."

"She left it there so you would find it and know that she was taken. She left it as a clue." I tell him.

-Gwen's POV-

I wake up in a dark room and I try to look around but I am strapped to a board. I try to think of what happened to me but I had too much of a headache. I close my eyes for second and then I hear someone coming. I open my eyes and stare at the ceiling. At training they told us to try and picture somewhere else so the pain is less bad. I guess I was going to have to use that training right away. I hear the door open and a mans face appears over me. "She is awake." He says and smiles. "Hello Gwendolyn."

"Hello." I say to him.

"You have become so beautiful." He says and looks at me closer. "We should have kept his one Marge." He tells someone.

A woman's face appears over me and she looks me up and down. "A little to fat for my taste." She says. "But we can solve that."

"She might be worth money." The man says.

"Oh yeah. A lot of people would pay for her." The woman says.

"Um pay for what?" I ask.

"To have sex with you darling." The man says and smirks. He and woman leaves and I just look up at the ceiling. I was going to die here. I would die before I let anyone touch me

I close my eyes and think of Kevin and Penny and Spencer. I wish I could see their faces one last time.

-Spencer's POV-

we were no where closer to finding Gwen then we were the day before. "Kevin are you doing anything but being a useless tool?" I yell at Kevin.

"Listen here small fry. I am working as fast as I can to find my girlfriend. I'm sorry not everyone here can read 20,000 words a minute." He says and glares at me.

"You never should have dated her. She should be dating someone better!" I yell back.

"Like who? You?" He asks.

"Maybe!" I yell and freeze. "Penelope come get me if you find anything out." I tell Penelope and leave the room. I got find Morgan and pull him into his office. "I think I might have feelings for Gwen."

"I knew it." He says.

"I had a dream a couple of months ago about Maeve and she told me that I had someone else that I would love. What if that was my subconscious telling me that I like her. I could have told her a month ago!" I say and sit down. "I have to find her alive Morgan. I can't have this be another Maeve case."

Morgan sits down and looks at me. "Okay I need to ask you something and I need you to really think before answering. " Morgan says to me. I look at him and nod. "Could this be in any way your feelings for Maeve transferred onto Gwen? They cases are similar and I don't want you to get into this huge thing of drama if you don't have to."

I think about how Maeve made me feel and then how Gwen makes me feel. I shake my head "are you sure?" Morgan asks.

"No. my feelings for Gwen are of her own. No Maeve in the situation." I tell him.

"Okay well lets go find our girl so we can go head first into this mess pool of drama.

"Guys! We have a visual!" Penelope says as she comes down the hall with her laptop.

"Visual?" Hotch asks.

"Kevin was sent a link and a message saying that it would show us Gwen. And we'll it has." Penelope explains.

"Well lets see it." I say. "It will us clues."

"Sweetie. I don't think you want to see this." She tells me.

"No I do. It could help us find her." I say, confused why I wouldn't want to see the video.

"Okay…" She says. She sets up the visual link in the conference room and all we see is some grainy black background. "Where is she?" As soon as I say anything, a light snaps on and we see Gwen strapped to a wooden board.

"That is a great question Dr. Reid." A mans voice says and we see a figure get on the screen. He wasn't wearing a mask or anything so we saw his face. Unsub don't do that unless they know they aren't going to get caught or just don't care. In either case, it didn't work out for the victims. In most cases, when the unsub didn't cover up their identity, it meant they were going to kill the victim right away. Was that why we were watching? To see Gwen die? If so, I didn't want be here. "Okay, so I see all of the team but no Mr. Lynch. Someone get him here!" The unsub yells.

"Penelope call Kevin and tell him come in here." Hotch tells Penelope.

"O-okay." She says and goes and calls him from the corner.

"We are doing as you say. Now you know all of us, but we don't know you. Why don't you tell us who you are." Hotch tells the unsub.

"You'll find out soon. We just need to play a game before anything can happen." The unsub says. Kevin walks in and looks at the video and frowns. "Oh good. The whole set is here. Gwendolyn, do you want to say anything to your team?" The board slowly moves so Gwen was facing us. She was still fully dressed so there was a good chance that she hasn't been sexually assaulted. I look at her and notice a collar on her neck. "Oh come on Gwendolyn. You haven't seen your team in five months and you don't want to tell them hi or anything?" The unsub asks and walks to Gwen. He raises his hand and makes Gwen look at him.

"Get your hands off of her!" Kevin yells. I look at him, noticing he looked sick and sad.

"Oh is Mr. Lynch getting jealous?" I hear the unsub say. I look back at the video. "You have no reason to get jealous. I'm not going to do anything to Gwendolyn. I wouldn't be a good father if I did."

"Wait you are Gwen's father?" Rossi asks.

"Yes Mr. Rossi. Your Gattina is my daughter. You should be the one who is jealous because I finally have my daughter back and you will never see her again." The unsub says and smiles. "Well you won't see her alive."

"If you are her father, then why are you doing this to her?" Rossi asks. I could hear his anger in his voice.

"Because my wife made us get rid of her because we had enough daughters." The unsub explains and rubs Gwen's hair. "She wanted a son but I wanted to keep Gwendolyn. I thought she would be a good follower. I knew she would grow up to be just good enough to bring us money. If we would have raised her, she would already be sold. She would have been one of the fastest little girls sold." The unsub sighs and smiles at the camera. "But that didn't happen so Gwendolyn will just have to makes us the money now. Gwendolyn you still haven't said hi to your little friends. Tell them hi or they die."

Gwen looks at the camera and I could see a tear run down her cheek. "Hi-" as soon as Gwen tried to talk the collar activated and shocked Gwen. At the pain she screamed out and the collar just shocked her more. She bites her lip to stop herself and the collar shuts off.

"Oh that is my favorite part!" The unsub says and claps in joy. He looks back at the camera and smiles. "I'm going to start selling Gwendolyn in 12 hours. She might be in one piece or she might be in a bunch of pieces. Depends on how much people are willing to pay. You have 12 hours and then she is mine." He tells us and then shuts off the video feed.

Penelope breaks down once the feed is shut off. JJ goes over to her and wraps her arms around her. "Did either of you track the video?" Hotch asks Kevin and Penelope.

"I was trying before I was called in here." Kevin says. He sits down and puts his head in his hands. "I was almost there too."

"Any way to track it still?" Hotch asks

"There is a chance. Kevin lets go." Penelope says, tears still rolling down her cheeks. Kevin leads Penelope out of the room.

"Okay. What did everyone see?" Hotch asks

"The unsub didn't hide his face." I tell him and sit down. I was getting tired of people I cared about getting kidnapped.

"That is a good thing. If Penelope or Kevin can get the video we can track his face." Hotch says and calls Penelope.

"Yes sir?" Penelope asks, sounding like she just watched a puppy getting kicked.

"If you can try and find the video and see if the unsub's face is in our systems that would also be good." Hotch tells her.

"We will work on it and call you if there is any news." Penelope says and hangs up.

"Okay what else did we see?" Hotch asks.

"Gwen. Getting hurt." JJ says softly.

"We can't focus on Gwen. We need to treat this like any other case." Hotch tells us.

"So we should do a victimology." Morgan says. "He said that Gwen is his father. So that means that we are looking for a male who has lost something or someone in the recent past and he is looking for his lost daughter to fill the hole."

"That man is not Gwen's father." Rossi says.

"Rossi. I know how much Gwen means to you but if he says he is her biological father then we have to believe he is." Hotch tells Rossi.

Rossi gets up and leaves the room, slamming the door on the way out. "Do you want me to go talk to him?" I ask Hotch.

"Yes please." Hotch tells me.

I follow Rossi into his office. "Rossi." I say softly.

"Why would a father take his own daughter? If Gwen was my daughter I would treat her like a princess." Rossi says and sits down. "Why kidnap her? Why hurt her?"

I sit down. "I don't know Rossi. I really don't know. I do know that she needs you. We need you to focus on finding her and not how the unsub is hurting her. We need to have clear minds and then we will be able to save her."

He sighs and nods. "I know that, I really do but…"

"I know Rossi. I know." I say.

"I just lost Strauss." He says. "I can't lose my Gattina."

"Then lets go back in there and find out where she is." I say and stand up.

Rossi stands up and looks at me. "Let's do it."

-Gwen's POV-

After seeing the team, the unsub walked over to me. "See daddy is a kind and fair guy." He says to me.

I glare at him. "Not my dad." I say, rushing to get it out before the collar shocked me. I feel the electric run through me and I can't help but not to scream. I try to get my hands free to get the collar off but I was the bonds were tight. I close my eyes and bite my lip again to stop screaming. I already knew my lip was bleeding from how much I was biting it but I didn't care.

"I am your father missy. And you do as I say or I'll kill you now and let your team find you here dead." He tells me and gets a long knife and points it at me. "Are you going to be a good girl?" He asks me. I just nod and look away. "Good." He tells me and moves the board back down so I was looking up at the ceiling. "I told your team that you would be alive in 12 hours but I never said that you wouldn't be hurt." He tells me and smiles. I shake my head and try to stop any tears that we're building in my eyes. "Oh I've been waiting to do this." He takes his knife and cuts a line down both of my legs. I scream and the collar shocks me. I start crying and look away. I was trying to go to my happy place that the academy taught to me but I just could focus. The unsub grabs my face and makes me look at him. I could feel my blood on his hands. "Your screams are so nice. I want to hear it some more." He says and smiles.

I close my eyes and focus on this tree I found when I ran away from the system. It was a tall oak tree but it had branches that I could climb up. I loved that tree. It had enough coverage so I could just disappear from life and coverage from the weather. I didn't stay there long because I didn't really have clothes for the winter. After begging on the street for a couple months, this older woman brought me to the area she lived at. It was a community of the homeless. They are the reason I stayed alive through the five years. There were kids my age that got to go to school and so they would come back to the group and would teach me what they learned. I lived there till I was nineteen and knew I wouldn't have to back into the system. I try to think about how I felt when the old woman let me stay in her community. It helped for a little until I felt something go into my thigh and I broke out of my thoughts. I take deep breaths and try to forget the pain that filled my body. He wanted me to scream and I knew that if I gave into him, there was a chance that he could just kill me. I shallow and look at the man. He was frowning and he took the knife out and slammed it in my thigh again. I bit my lip and close my eyes. 'Think of Kevin. Of Rossi. Of Spencer. Of penny. Of the team. Of my real family.' I tell my self and take deep breaths.

"You useless girl." He tells me and leaves the room.

I take deep breaths and look at my hands. They were bound by ropes. I take a deep breath and start to move my hand and try to get it out. I almost had my hand out when the door opened and I push it back to be bound.

"Your team had nine more hours. I think we should give them an update." The unsub says as he walks in. He moves the board so I was in front of the camera. He turns it on and smiles. "We're backkkk." He tells them. I could see the team and I started to cry softly. I missed them so much. I was suppose to graduate today and finically join my team, my family. "As you see Gwendolyn's all safe and sound."

"You hurt her!" Rossi says, standing up. I smile at the protective tone in his voice.

"Oh yes. I never told you that she wouldn't be hurt." The unsub says. "So are you guys any closer to finding me?" He asks them.

"Walter!" I hear some woman yell. I could see light and it looked like we were in a shelter under a house.

"Woman! I am hurting our daughter right now!" The man, Walter, yells back.

"We need you up here right now. Jasmine is running!" The woman yells and leaves, slamming the door as she leaves.

"Shit!" Walter says and runs out of the room.

I look at the camera and start crying. "Gwen I need you to shake your head yes or no to my questions, do you understand?" Hotch asks me. I nod and look at them. "Are you in a house?" I shake my head. "In a barn?" I shake my head. I try to point down and move my hand. "Down?" I nod.

"Underground?" Rossi asks. I nod frantically. "He might have her under the house. Some houses in the out skirts of D.C. are old farm houses that still have those tornado shelters under their house. It would have to be an old house though."

"Penelope are you getting all of this?" Hotch asks.

"Yes sir. And with the name Walter, I get three names." Penelope says. "Are you getting where the video is coming from?"

"Yes. I'm almost there." I hear Kevin's voice and I start crying harder. "Got it!" He said. "We are coming from you Gwendolyn!"

"All of it is sent to your phones." Penelope says and hangs up.

"Okay Gwen. Don't let on that we are coming for you. Let him believe what ever he wants but don't let him know we are on our way. He might kill you." Hotch tells me and I nod.

The door opens and Walter comes back down but Hotch ends the feed before he gets down by the camera. Walter looks at the screen and frowns. "Did I turn that off?" He asks me. I nod. I look at his shirt and see there was blood all over it. I start shaking and look away. "Damn bitch thought she could leave us." He tells me. He makes me look at him and he shows me the head of a young girl and I close my eyes. "This is what happens when you try to run. But you won't try that will you sweetie?" I shake my head. "Good girl." He lowers the board and smiles. "Get some sleep. I need you all and awake for when I sell you." He tells me and leaves.

I close my eyes and try not cry to hard. If I cry too hard then the collar shocks me. I keep myself calm by closing my eyes and thinking of my wonderful family. They really did care about me. After a while, I hear some gunshots. I open my eyes and start to get worried. What if someone from the team got hurt? I start to move my hands to try and get out. Like hell of I was going to sit here while my team could be getting shot at. I manage to get one my hands out and I move to try and get my other hand out when the door opens and I freeze. I see lights and as soon as I see Rossi I start to wave my hand. He sees me and runs over. "Clear." I hear Hotch say.

"Oh Gattina." Rossi says as he removes the other rope on my hand. I sit up and hug him tightly. He hugs me back. "I need you to sit back so I can take that stupid collar off of you." He tells me softly and I nod. I move back and look at him. "I need help over here!" He calls to the team.

Morgan and Spencer run over, putting their guns away. "What do you need?" Morgan asks.

"Morgan, I need you to find some water. I think we have some in the back of the cars. She is going to need water right away." Rossi tells Morgan. Morgan nods and runs out. "Spencer. I need you to take her feet out of the binding. Do it slowly. I need her still when I take off the collar."

"Got it." Spencer says and moves to my feet.

"Gattina. I need you to look up and keep looking up until I say okay, got it?" Rossi asks me. I just look up and sigh. I feel Spencer working at my feet and Rossi working at my neck. I feel my feet get freed and I smile. After a minute, I feel the collar get removed from my neck and Rossi says okay. I look at him and look at the collar. "Do you want to try and talk?" Rossi asks me. I shake my head and look away. "That's fine. Let's get you to the ambulance." He says and picks me up. I lean into him and close my eyes. "I got you Gattina."

I was taken to the hospital but I didn't need any surgery luckily. I have cuts on my arms and the stab wounds on my thighs. Those and my neck were the only physical things wrong with me. I was able to rest in a nice bed but I couldn't fall asleep. One they put me on the bed, I grabbed the blanket and curled up. I didn't want anyone touching me. I didn't want anyone looking at me. I just wanted to be alone.
