I don't own Criminal Minds

As Spencer and Garcia left to go to work, they heard the loud speaker that was on a large pole, high above the small houses.

"Attention, there will be an important town meeting today at nightfall. All citizens must attend."

Spencer and Garcia looked at each other, "I wonder what the mayor wants to talk about" asked Garcia.

Spencer shrugged, "Well, in the mean time we have to go to work. So I guess we'll have to tell everyone after the meeting." Garcia nodded in agreement. They smiled and hugged again before they walked to work together.

Hotch woke up in a dark, cold room. His wrists and ankles were bound with rope. He saw a metal door on the other side of the room. He struggled to get the tape off. Suddenly he heard the announcement over the loud speaker. His heartbeat sped up.

"The mayor must be planning to trap everyone at the town house and imprison them like the files said. I have to warn everyone" he thought.

He continued to struggle, praying for some miracle to come and save him and the rest of the team.

The day seemed to fly by that day. Soon it was near nightfall and the whole town was walking to the town hall. Spencer and Garcia were holding hands. They managed to find a small space in the back of the room and sat down. The rest of the team arrived not long after and sat next to Spencer and Garcia.

Morgan noticed they were holding hands, "You guys are together" he asked with a big smile.

JJ and Prentiss squealed happily and gave them both big hugs. "I'm so happy for you guys" they said.

Spencer nodded and smiled too, "Yeah…and we have something else to tell you guys."

But before he would tell them the news the mayor and several other men went onto the small platform at the other end of the room.

Hotch finally got himself free but the door was locked. He noticed that there was a window on the door. He looked thought it and saw the handle was just a few inches from the window. He managed to squeeze his hand thought the bars and open the door from the outside. He got out of the room and noticed that he was in the basement of the mayor's home. He left the house and ran as fast as he could to the town hall.

"Our town has become prosperous and is a beacon of hope in our collapse world. So today we have wonderful news."

Nobody noticed that other men have locked the doors and windows. Suddenly a small army of men appeared out of hidden doors from either side of the platform.

"You're all going to listen to what we say unless you want to be shot" said the mayor.

People shrieked in terror as they were forced through the doors that lead to large flatbed trucks with cages on them. The men with guns pushed and shoved the people; they even shot a few people already.

"We have to get out of here" said Prentiss.

The others nodded, there was no way they could fight off an army of men with weapons. They ran to the door but found it was locked. Suddenly it was opened by none-other then, Hotch.

"Oh thank god man" shouted Morgan. They ran out of the town hall but to find that other men were pouring flammable fluid on the houses and every building in the town.

"We have to leave the town before it blows up" shouted Hotch.

The team ran out onto the desert that was on the outskirts of the town. As they ran further, the town behind them blew sky high and the trucks of people were already driving far away. The team took cover behind some abandoned cars outside of the town.

Once the explosions stopped, the team emerged from the cars and looked at the place that was their least hope for a new life.

"Why in the world…"said Prentiss still in shock of what happened.

"It was all a set up" said Hotch.

"What?"

He pulled out a number of files from his jacket and some he took from the mayor's house.

"This town was a lure for people to some and then be taken to a lab for experimentation."

They looked at the files and were in shock, "This has been happening for so long…" said JJ.

"Maybe the collapse of our society was part of it as well" said Spencer.

"What do you mean" asked Morgan.

Spencer took handed them another file, "Operation Rebirth. This was started long ago, way before the war. This operation was meant to start the world all other again and make an ideal society. Yet the experimentation of humans is n mentioned here."

"…oh god…my mom and sister must have been taken too" said Morgan. The team was crestfallen; they were once again in a cold, cruel world with nowhere to go.

"Well we have to go and stop them" said Spencer. The team looked at him as if he was half crazy. "We can't take them down; every government from all over the world is working together and have armies to back them up. How can we stop it" said Prentiss.

"Guys, we have to sop them somehow. We managed to stop the worst killers and psychotics, we can stop them too and try and save those people. We have too" said Spencer.

The team looked at each other, then Hotch finally spoke. "Morgan and Prentiss, see what we can salvage from the town after the fires die down. Garcia see if you can finds any computer equipment as well. The rest of us will find a car to use. The trucks were heading northwest. We'll head off in the morning hopefully or at least by the end of tomorrow.

They split up to prepare, but they didn't know that they were being watched.
