A/C Wow sorry guys it has been awhile since I've updated. Well here is another chapter. Keep reviewing, it's my muse.

Reid opened his eyes slowly. They felt swollen. It was pitch black in the room where he laid. A familiar fear came about him then. He still felt dizzy and nauseas for the water he had drank which was spiked with a tranquilizer. Everything came back to him. Reid painfully remembered he was at the hands of a psychopath yet again. But this time there was no one who knew where he was with or what had happened. 'How could I let this happen again?' He asked himself.

All of the sudden he heard footsteps in the room. Reid realized that soon he would experience the same fate as the others before him. From experience he knew he would not be able to talk O'Brien or any of the others out of it. For once he felt the ability to think clearly without the fog of withdrawal. 'Not that it matters.'

"H-hello?" Reid asked with his voice cracking from being unconscious for so long.

A bright light suddenly blinded him. Reid knew it was obviously one of them. The numbness in his body from the drug was wearing off and Reid could feel a cold and metal surface beneath his body. When the light faded just enough for him to see he saw he was on a surgical table. He attempted to sit up, but he couldn't due to restraints that were built into the table.

Reid was well aware that he was in a deathly situation, but he wasn't going to give up or give in no matter what. He was going to give a good fight and not give his captors what they desired, power.

"Hello, Dr. Reid. How are you?" said a taunting voice. Reid didn't even need to look at him to know it was Matt. He appeared to be trying to act strong and dominant, but Reid still heard the words of a frightened young man.

"Oh, just peachy." Reid said with fierce sarcasm. Reid knew of the endless number of things Matt could do to him in his position, but it didn't matter in his state of mind. All that mattered was not to give Matt the satisfaction he wanted.

"You are just like the rest of them. O'Brien didn't believe me at first, but I just knew it." Reid felt a prickle of fear as he noticed Matt sounded quite unstable, but he didn't show it.

"Did you plan this from the beginning?" Reid asked attempting to stay calm. 'Don't give into it.'

"I told you before… I thought you were different, like us. Maybe you could've even helped us. But then you just ignored us like we were nothing. You, the big FBI man thinking you're too good for people even undercover as a student!" Matt yelled his last words and kicked the wall.

"I never would help someone with the things you've done. And I'll tell you this now, you won't get away with this."

"Hmm… I really don't think you're in the position to say that Dr. Reid." After he spoke the room became black once more and the door slammed and echoed.

Day 14 Undercover, Syracuse PD

Morgan lay with his head in his arms. The team had been working another hard night trying to find some leads on the case from the little information they had gotten on their visit to the school. Everyone knew they were missing some factor that always helped them to solve the case, Reid.

"Coffee?" Prentiss asked tapping him gently on the shoulder.

"Wha…?" Morgan said as though he was half asleep. After he shook himself awake he responded, "Yeah sure that's all we live on now anyway."

"Gideon and everyone else went back to talk to the Principal since we couldn't see him the other day." She said as she sat down on a chair beside her friend.

"And what are we supposed to do here?" Morgan hissed.

"I guess we should check up with Reid or something."

Morgan looked away as she said his name. If anyone brought Reid up he automatically felt a feeling of guilt rise in his stomach almost instantly.

"Right." He responded as he started to open the laptop upon the table.

Morgan had written Reid an e-mail the previous night so he went to his inbox to check for a response. There was nothing there. He considered the fact that Reid might still have been worked up over their visit, but he knew that would not have stood in the way of his task. Something was wrong and he knew it.

"He never responded. Prentiss call Gideon and tell him to keep an eye open for Reid at the school and that we're on our way there." Morgan knew he probably sounded quite paranoid, but he just felt an instinct within that told him he needed to act fast.

"But maybe he was just tired or something." She suggested hopefully. As much as Reid had ticked her off the last few weeks he was still part of their BAU family.

"I know him Emily. He would never blow us off, never."

"Alright… let's go."

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

In his captivity Reid spent most of his time sleeping. As weird as it sounds it was the best sleep he had experienced in a long time. Sure he was cold and hungry, but he felt pretty calm and most definitely sober. One of the things that bothered him the most was the fact that he didn't know what time it was or how many days had passed. He estimated that it had been about 12 hours since Matt's visit though.

A patter of footsteps awoke him in his sleep. He hoped it wasn't Matt since he hadn't sounded that calm the last time they had spoken. 'If it's O'Brien I'll kill that bastard.'

The light turned on slowly at a dim which was refreshing to his eyes. Emerging from the shadows he saw Pete standing there with a scared expression. 'If I can anyone to help me it'll be him'

"Pete… you're apart of this?" Reid asked him even though he already knew the answer since Pete was Matt's best friend.

"I'm sorry James…I mean Dr. Reid." He said with genuine sympathy. Reid knew he was probably just a victim of his friend's and teacher's insanity.

"Pete I know you don't want to be part of this. The first day I came you were fighting with O'Brien. You're a good person." Reid said hastily. For the first time he felt anxious and a bit scared realizing death was probably near.

"No… I'm not." Pete answered not making eye contact.

"But you haven't killed anyone yet, have you?" he asked.

"No, you're supposed to be my first." His words pricked Reid with fear. He could feel his hands shaking a bit, but he clenched them into fists to stop it.

"Please… you can save us both." Reid said feeling a sense of déjà vu. Not long ago it seemed he had been trying to convince Tobias to do the same thing. 'Funny how things seem to repeat themselves'

Pete took out a bottle of water he had with him. "I'm supposed to give you water." Reid just nodded and opened his mouth while Pete poured a little at a time into his dry mouth.

"Thanks." Reid said after swallowing.

"I have to go now…" he said with no emotion. Reid could tell he wanted to help him, but he was just too intimidated by Matt and O'Brien.

"Please, don't leave me here." Reid begged him. He didn't know if he could stand the darkness anymore, even in sleep.

"I'm sorry Dr. Reid." Then just as Matt had done before he shut off the light and left Reid alone.

Reid could not hold it in any longer. The last weeks had been pure torture and he felt more alone than ever. There was no one looking for him. There wasn't even anyone who cared anymore. He started sobbing alone in the dark.
