Speed!
Reid and JJ arrived at the hospital after 30 minutes of driving. It was the hospital where they knew Emily had once been. The place was pretty much crowded, but still unbelievable silent. They walked up to a woman in the reception who just got off the phone.
"How may I help you?" the woman asked and the agents were quick to show their badges.
"I'm special agent Jennifer Jareau and this is Dr. Spencer Reid and we're with the FBI. We would like to ask you a couple of questions about an ongoing investigation about a kidnapping."
"Oh, sure. What is it about?" the woman asked concerned.
"Do you remember this guy coming and dropping off a woman here?" Reid said handing the woman a picture of Adam.
"Oh, yes, of course. He checked his girlfriend in after she'd fallen down the stairs and hit her head. Poor guy stayed by her side the entire time. They were a very cute couple and had a sweet daughter too."
"Daughter?" JJ asked.
"Yes, it was his little girl, but she called the woman mommy."
"You seem to remember a lot, but it's a pretty big hospital."
"But I would have to say that it was a special case since the woman lost her..." the woman trailed off, but whether she realized where this was going or that she'd probably broken the rules by discussing her patient without any idea about why they wanted to know this much about her they didn't know.
"Ma'am?" Reid asked trying to get her attention.
The nurse remained quiet for awhile obviously thinking about something. When she snapped out of it she let out a sigh before talking again.
"She wasn't his girlfriend huh?"
"I'm afraid not. She's a federal agent and she was kidnapped around the time she was admitted to this hospital from D.C. Did they leave an address?"
The nurse lit up at this because she knew in fact that he had. "Yes. Hold on a sec." she said and rummaged through some papers before finding the right one. "Hah! Here it is! Oh, dear... It says here that they live in D.C."
JJ took the paper from the nurse and looked at the address her eyes widening. "It's Emily's address."
"Of course it is. He's messing with us." Reid stated with a sigh.
JJ found herself very frustrated. This man had always been two steps in head of them. She knew that Emily hadn't remembered Adam from the beginning and she also knew that when she found out Adam had known that Emily wouldn't tell anybody because that was the kind of person Emily was. Their friend hadn't been wanting to worry the rest and therefore she chose to bait herself. Emily had probably thought that she would suffer through torture and rapes, but instead she was now married to the man without any knowledge of her previous friends. She didn't even realize that she needed help.
Reid thanked the woman and they left together hoping that the next hospital could tell them a little more.
They were finally back from their honeymoon after two days. It had actually been surprisingly great. They had gone walking by the lake and stayed up late talking by an open fire where they later made love for the second time. Through all these questions she had actually learned to like Adam a little more. He was kind, caring and really good-looking. It wasn't often you would meet a guy like that and maybe she might as well stick with him. She had promised herself when she'd agreed to the wedding that she would grow to love him and it was actually true. The love for him grew bigger by the minute, but then it came. A subject she'd actually been expecting since he had been so fast with the wedding and everything seemed to pass by in lightning speed. It was when they were snuggled up on the couch, Isobel playing on the floor and the two of them watching intently.
"We should make our own baby."
She nearly choked on her own breath even if it was expected. What was she supposed to say? She couldn't say no to him by some strange reason. Maybe it was her subconscious who told her so, but something inside her knew that she wanted to please him. He was her husband.
"Well..." she started. "Isn't that a little soon?"
"Soon? God no! We have been together for three years and your biological watch is running out. It's almost too late."
Emily knew he was right. This was her last chance to get a baby with Adam, but why couldn't she do it. She made up a plan in her mind how to both agree to a baby, but never being able to get one.
"Sure, honey, you're right!" she said and kissed him on his cheek.
He pulled her tighter into his embrace and she liked the warmth of his body.
Their plan for the day had been to stay at home the whole day and spend it with each other since they had been gone from Isobel two days. Emily rose from her seat however, suddenly feeling the urge to do something.
"Can't we go for a ride?" she suggested. "I think we should do something."
Isobel jumped of the floor and smiled widely liking the idea her mommy came up with. Adam rose from his seat and sighed.
"I guess we can... If that's what you want, darling." he said kissing her softly on her mouth.
Shortly they were all seated in the car and drove off. They hadn't exactly got a goal in mind, but they enjoyed being somewhere else than at home. Soon Adam turned in to a parking lot by Emily's request. She needed to go to the store and pick up some food they were missing because she had decided to make them dinner that night. This store was particularly hard to find her way in, but she managed to get most of it. When she walked out she could've sworn that she saw the man from her dreams, but then the only thing she could see was the back of a black SUV and she shook her head at her own imagination. She spotted Adam and the car and entered it. She was immediately met by a kiss from Adam before he drove off. The speed of the car was suddenly increasing and she found the car going in circles, turning into roads where she was pretty sure their home wasn't.
"You're going the wrong way." she stated. "And fast too."
"Oh, yeah... I just want to enjoy the city." he said giving her a smile.
"I want too, but in this speed? Why don't we just go home?"
"Sure, we will... It's just..." he began glancing in his rearview mirror. "We will."
But Adam continued to drive in circles, way too fast, but still stopping at every red light.
"We should get a new car."
Morgan and Hotch had left the last hospital and both of them had said the same. Anonymous man dropped the women off only to come back and check on them later. The women had only been out for 6 hours before they woke up and didn't have a clue about what had happened. They now knew that he had tested his method on others and really made sure that they had lost their memory before making Emily lose hers.
So they were driving back towards the police station when Morgan spotted the familiar figure.
"Emily!" he said startling Hotch. "Turn around, Hotch. That's Emily walking through the parking lot."
Hotch made a u-turn and headed back in time to see their very own Emily Prentiss loading in groceries into a car and then getting herself in.
"You're right. That's her." Hotch said following the red car.
They soon noticed that Adam knew he was being followed since the speed increased and the fact that they seemed to be going in circles. The worst part of it was that he was good at it. Hotch found it hard to keep up with him as he turned in almost every crossroad and he would drive past cars so that it was at least two cars between them and often he would choose places to do that with a lot of red cars making it hard to tell which was the right one.
"Emily should start to question him after this. Wonder what he'd tell her, driving like a crazy person." Morgan said.
"Don't worry, Morgan. We're not gonna lose them." Hotch said.
"Sure..." he said while dialing Garcia's number.
"Tell me some good news, hotstuff." Garcia's voice came on the phone.
"We need you to follow a car for us. Hack into every road camera and put out road blocks." he began and then continued with telling her the license plate number and what the car looked like.
They continued to follow the car for about 10 minutes, the car being three cars in head of them, before the car turned into a gas station and that's when they saw that the car didn't have the right number.
"It's not them." Hotch stated.
"We've lost her. Again."
A/N So close! But maybe they'll get closer to finding her with this?
Please review!:) (that second exclamation point was totally an accident)
