Chapter 14 Capturing Whitman

Diana fell onto the floor in tears after she saw Billy leave with Cassie in his arms. She wiped the tears away with the sleeve of her pajamas. She took a couple of breaths and then looked over the cage again. Diana then looked at the door. She looked at it curiously and pushed on it. The door opened.

"Phone, 911." Diana said as she ran out of the cage. She went into the kitchen and the other room. "Phone, 911." She said again as she looked around trying to find a phone. Diana looked under pillows and blankets and chairs. She looked over the walls on counters and dressers trying to find a phone.

Under the bed in the room adjacent to the kitchen Diana saw a very large pair of sandals. They were obviously meant for Billy. She quickly put them on wedging the thong between her big and first toe. Once the shoes were on she ran outside.

Diana saw the tire tracks from the vehicle that Billy had used and headed in that direction. That's where the road would be. She stopped when she heard the car ahead of her. Obviously afraid, Diana ran in the other direction. The flip-flops slapping her heals the entire way.

She ran back to the cabin, but not inside. She ran around the back. Further down she saw other cabins, just a short walk to. The area behind the cabins was all woods. She ran right into the woods. Just inside the woods Diana found a large tree to hide behind. From there she able to see the cabin that Billy had held her in.

Billy parked the old Volvo and went inside the cabin. After dropping his keys off on the table he went to check on Diana. "Diana, I dropped Cassie at the hospital she's going to be fine." He said as he came in. That's when he saw the door to the cage was open.

Immediately Billy started going through the house. "Diana, everything is going to be fine I promise. I know things didn't start well, but I can make up for that." Billy went through the entire house calling out Diana's name. He looked in the closet and under the bed.

After he had the house searched Billy headed outside. He looked around the area behind the house. He looked at the storage containers and then towards the woods. "Diana!" He kept calling out. "You need to come inside."

Diana stayed crouched behind the tree. She could hear Billy calling for her.

Billy made his way towards the first cabin. That's when Diana got up and tried to run the other way.

There was a loud snap, as Diana accidently stepped on an old dried out tree limb.

Billy turned when he heard the snap. He ran off in that direction.

Diana looked behind her after she had stepped on the tree limb. She could see Billy running in her direction.

The little girl quickly started running. She ran as fast as she could, going deeper into the woods, away from the cabins. Diana was tired after a moment. She stopped behind a tree and slumped down next to the trunk.

There were several leaves and branches that had fallen around the tree. Diana quickly scooped them around herself, hiding. She covered herself the best she could in the leaves and branches.

After a moment Diana heard Billy walking not far from her.

Diana covered her mouth with her hand. But she kept her eyes opened and watched from where she had laid herself down at.

Billy walked around the trees. "Diana I am sorry I got mad. I guess I am still not used to a little girl. Please don't be angry with me. We can go out for ice cream."

Diana didn't whimper.

Billy walked around the area. He continually called Diana's name as he walked away, back towards the cabin.

Diana stayed in her hiding place.

CM********************************************************************

The BAU team drove quickly towards the campground, the siren on the SUV blazing.

Agent Jareau was on the cell phone in the SUV with Hotch and Rossi. They were in the front seat discussing the best approach.

"Okay thank you." She said hanging up.

"I have some local cops on their way and an ambulance just in case." She said to the profilers.

"Good, I hope we don't need them." Hotch said. He was still a little upset over the initial handling of the kidnapping and the meager attempts of the cops at redeeming themselves afterwards.

In the other SUV Morgan was driving, Reid was in back while Prentiss was in the front passenger seat. After they started driving Prentiss turned to Reid.

"Diana recognized him, Whitman."

Reid looked up from where he had been resting his bowed head on his fists, almost as though he was praying.

Prentiss continued. "Cassie told Diana that Whitman used to work at her school. When she went into shock Diana told Whitman to bring Cassie pancake syrup. Diana is a brave and smart little girl."

"I know." Reid said leaning back into the seat. He then looked out the window. "What else did Cassie tell you?"

Prentiss bit her lip before she spoke. "Whitman wanted Diana to practice her ballet. Diana was scared from it. Cassie defended her. She fought off Whitman, physically. That's what brought her to have the diabetic shock." She paused for a moment. "Cassie cared enough about Diana to defend herself. She's obviously a special girl."

Reid continued to stare out the window, looking away from Prentiss. He was trying to keep his emotions under control.

Prentiss then turned back around.

Reid finally spoke after a moment "Emily?" He asked.

"Yes," Prentiss said turning her head back around.

"Thank you."

It wasn't long until the BAU team had arrived at the camp ground right then. They turned off the sirens and cautiously approached the first cabin they saw. Parked out in front was an old Volvo.

With their Kevlars on the team drew their weapons and approached the cabin. Reid stayed outside, just outside the door. This was where Hotch told him to stay.

Hotch, J.J. and Morgan went around to the back.

Rossi and Prentiss entered through the front. Slowly they entered the cabin, weapons raised. They cleared the kitchen first. Prentiss went into the other room while Rossi went into the bedroom.

"Clear, Rossi." Prentiss called as she stared at the cage that Diana had been held in. "You should see this."

Rossi came in a moment later, his weapon was lowered.

"Cassie said he was keeping Diana in a cage." Prentiss said. "This was how she described it."

"There's the comforter from her bed and the nightlight." Rossi added. Rossi then lifted his wrist to his face so he could inform Hotch through the microphone he attached there.

Outside Morgan and Hotch and J.J. had circled the building. They saw no signs of Diana or Whitman.

Hotch then heard Rossi through his head piece.

"This cabin is clear. Whitman was keeping Diana here. It was just like Cassie said."

"We don't have anything out here." Hotch said. "We need to continue searching the grounds. Have Reid wait there, inside."

Rossi let Reid inside and told him that the team was searching the grounds for Whitman and Diana. Reid took a seat in the kitchen. After a moment he got up and looked in the other room. He saw the cage that his daughter had been held in. He saw the little table and toilet and the daybed. On top was the comforter from her bed and the nightlight from her room.

Through all the cases that Reid had worked, this was the first time he wanted to go after an Un-Sub by himself and take him down. He wanted to tackle Whitman and cuff him throw him in jail to hopefully never come out again.

Rossi and Prentiss met with Hotch, Morgan and J.J. outside. They were going to do a search of the other cabins in hopes of finding either Diana or Whitman.

That's when they heard a man's voice shouting. "Diana!"

Quickly the team headed towards the sound of the voice. Rossi and Prentiss went to one side while Morgan and J.J. went the other to flank him.

They soon approached a man looking around one of the cabins.

Hotch moved in closer his weapon raised.

"William Whitman." He said with authority. "Put your hands up!"

Whitman slowly stood from where he was crotched holding up his hands.

Morgan quickly took the opportunity. He grabbed a hold of Whitman and immediately began cuffing him. "Where's Diana?" He growled.

"I don't know." He answered.

The profilers looked at each other. Everything between them was understood, even if it was unspoken.

Morgan grabbed Whitman by the collar and marched him back to the cabin. Whitman was going to tell them where Diana was.
