Chapter 12

Reid's POV

I followed Sophie out in silence. I didn't even have a chance to tell her to be safe.

Everything was so fast paced, we went and grabbed our vests and radios, I watched as Sophie got herself caught up in her wire for her ear piece. I made my way slowly over and helped her untangle, everyone was moving around so hastily that I wasn't concerned anyone would take any notice of us. I handed her the ear piece and saw her hand trembling just slightly.

"You're shaking" I stated, and watched her quickly pull her hand away and out of sight.

"Adrenaline I guess" she smiled but it didn't reach her eyes. There was fear behind the façade.

"Reid" I heard Hotch call, I turned my head to see through the sea of people, he was beckoning me over to where him and the rest of the team were waiting. When I turned back Sophie was already busying herself with her vest and side arm again.

Everyone was now gathering around a very large blueprint of the building we were about to enter.

"SWAT are going to meet us there" JJ said penetrating the circle to get a better look at the plan.

"Right … BAU you will split into two teams of three and hit the west side of the building there are two entrances" Tony took charge right away, you could tell he was comfortable, maybe ex army I thought to myself. He pointed to the map. "One here and one there" he grabbed a marked and dotting the entrances realising they weren't that easy to make out on the map. "Our team will hit the East side of the building a team of two entering here" he marked the map again. "and a team of three entering here … now we will need SWAT to enter through the main entrances at the front of the building, they will need to clear the larger rooms of the warehouse … we are going to clear the smaller rooms and meet in the middle here" he circled a large room in the centre of the warehouse. "Now I'm assuming that they will be keeping Ling in one of the smaller rooms but we will need to clear the warehouse before leading her out" I watched as Sophie examined the map closely her eyes scanning each room and each route leading out.

"Right" Sophie sighed, I could see the pressure weighing heavily on her. "Sounds like a plan … are we all happy?" she asked looking around every member of the two teams, everyone nodded in agreement. " we take this place clean and safe, don't want anyone playing the hero … you all understand me … Tony you're with me … Nick and Connor you will team up with Amy and take door number two" she ordered.

"Prentiss and Reid you will be with Morgan and take this entrance" Hotch said pointing to door number one. "Rossi, JJ and myself will enter through here" I felt JJ place a hand on my shoulder.

"Guess now we all get to see these new shooting skills you've been boosting about" JJ joked. I smiled. I was really proud that for the first time ever I'd scored really well in my assessment and not scraped through or failed.

"Scott, Garcia you both know what your roles are right?" Sophie said, looking over at both techies who were gathered around Scott's computer.

"All set boss … we will be able to track your locations through the building and direct you if you need it" Scott smiled, Garcia looked fascinated by the programme she was looking at.

"Right I guess we are ready then, as soon as we are at the location we will hit" I watched as Sophie's eyes were a little bigger was she really that worried something was going to happen I wondered.

A twenty minute car ride later and we were just pulling up to the warehouse in question; I felt the adrenaline run through my veins, I let myself breath out slowly to steady my nerves, I hated this bit, the car rides always gave me to much time for my brain to work through the percentages of something happening. I was startled when I heard Sophie's voice crackle to life in my ear piece.

"SWAT are you ready?" she asked.

"In position and waiting for go"

"BAU ready?" She asked.

"In position and waiting" Hotch answered as the car our team were travelling in came to a stop outside the building. I caught sight of Morgan and Amy as they drove up from where they had been sat waiting.

"Ready" Rossi said as he took his seatbelt off and pulled his fire arm out. I followed suit and did the same.

"Ready"
