Chapter Twenty-One.

I stood there, my hands shaking as Reid rushed toward me – taking the armed weapon from my grip. I blew out a long breath, my body clammy with fear. Having a psychopath target other people and trying to stop them is a hell of a different feeling than the one I've got now, this person is out to get me – he's had enough of his little playthings now and he's becoming bolder with his attempts to get the real thing.

"Clara?" Reid put both his hands on my shoulders, turning my body to face him. "Clara? I'm going to get the rest of the team down here okay?"

I raised my gaze to look into his, my hair falling over my face as I shook my head. "No, I want to get out of here." I whispered, stepping out of his grip to turn and grab my belongings. "We are not safe, if he can make his way past the guys keeping watch outside and straight to my door then I want to be somewhere else." I angrily stuffed my things back into my bag, turning to brush quickly past Reid who was trying desperately to get my attention.

"I don't think that's a good idea Clara. You know what he looks like, we can get CCTV. You don't have to hide from him."

I scooped my things from the bathroom into my arms and walked back into the room, dumping the last items into the bag and zipping it up.

"Yes I do. You weren't here Doc… You didn't see the look in his eyes…" I bit into my lip, goosebumps trailing along my skin.

"Where will we go?" He asked, moving to pack his things away, not that he had a much as me.

"To the only place I feel safe. We can call the team to meet us there in the car." I dropped my trainers onto the floor, slipping my bare feet inside before moving toward the door – my hand shaking as I reached for the handle. "What if he's outside.. what if he's waiting for me?" I turned and looked at Reid, my heart pumping faster and faster.

"Let me go out first okay? But keep this to hand." He handing me my gun back and I looked at him and then back to the door. "Just try not to aim it at me this time? We will get out safe, don't worry." He gave me a confident smile and I moved to stand behind him, my heart racing by the time he opened the door.

"Reid…" I whispered as he stepped out, his gun raised as he turned right to left to check the area.

"It's clear, come on." He extended his hand to me and I took it, closing the door firmly behind me as we walked down the hall to the stairs. "Why don't you text Hotch while we walk? So he knows where we are going." We walked down the first flight, Reid's gun now down by his side.

"Good idea." I replied, my voice still quiet. I tucked my gun in the back of my jogging bottoms, pulling my shirt over the top to hide it before removing my phone from my pocket.

Hotch, heading back to the to BAU. Gather everyone, will explain when we are all together. Clara.

I hit send and tucked my phone back into my pocket. Opening the door to the lobby. At this point Reid holstered his gun, leaving the strap undone so it's easier for him to retrieve. "Sent." I said, my eyes scanning the faces of people around me. My heart at this point felt like it was going to explode, I could literally feel my pulse in my finger tips.

"The car is a minutes walk. We're nearly there." Reid said. I was so impressed how he was handling this right now, by looking at him you would say he's more of the numbers and facts guy – which is obviously correct but when he needs to step up and be the in control he does it just as well as someone like Morgan or Prentiss.

"A lot of open space out there." I breathed, sticking to his side as we stepped out into the night. Sun had set about an hour ago and I've never felt more unease in my life. I felt like I was the main character in a thriller.

"Just get straight into the car. I'll drive." Reid said from beside me, both our steps long and fast.

"Fine by me." We walked straight across the open car park and made it to the car, Reid fumbled with the keys and unlocked it just as we reached for the handles, my hand gripping onto it tightly before getting into the car. Door slamming firmly shut after me. "We made it." I turned my head and looked at my colleague and friend, the smile on my face slowly dropping as I looked at his.

"Reid… what's wrong…?" I breathed, his face white and eyes wide.

"He's probably worried about the gun pressed against the back of his head." A familiar voice spoke from the shadows of the back seat. I let out a shaky breath, my hand slowly moving to my back.

"You don't need to hurt him… You don't want him, you want me…" I began to shake and I kept my eyes on Reid, who kept his eyes on me. "Let him go." I said with a little more strength, my hand nearly wrapped around my gun.

"Don't be stupid." He smacked his gun against the side of my head and I bounced against the window, my head spinning as I felt hands down my back, my weapon being taken away from me. "Why would you try and hurt me." He growled, his anger rising as I tried to focus. "If you move again I'll kill him."

"Clara are you alright?" Reid asked from behind me, his voice barely audible over the ringing in my right ear.

"Shut up! Don't you talk to her!" The Unsub cracked the gun against Reid's head and knocked him out cold.

"Doc…" I whimpered, my head still fuzzy as tried to lift my hand to him. "Spencer… wake up…" tears rolled down my cheek as I pushed him with my hand to stir him. "Please…" Reid's door opened, the Unsub taking away his keys, gun and phone.

"I won't hurt him if you comply."

I gazed at this stranger through my tears, my body ignoring all my orders to fight. I didn't reply and he grabbed Reid, dragging him out the car which made me yell out to him. My hand struggling to get a grip on the door. "Leave him alone!" I managed to open the door, my body falling out and onto the cool concrete, my eyes lifting as he placed Reid in the back of a silver Cadillac.

"You're going to get dirty." He hissed, wrapping his arms around my waist and picking me up as if I was nothing. I tried to squirm in his grip but he just tightened his and my ribs began to hurt because of it. "Just let him go, take me…" I breathed again, my eyes struggling to stay focused. "Just leave him here… he can't do anything…" he opened the passenger door and dropped me into the seat, his arm leaning over to buckle my seat belt.

"He's staying."

Anger rose in me and my arm lashed out, the Unsub caught my wrist and pressed my arm down against my body.

"Don't…Do That." He spat through his teeth, my eyes looking at his face as he fought to stay in control. He let go of me and slammed the door shut, my eyes turning to see Reid lying limply in the back. I had to do something, I couldn't let anything happen to Reid, he's got nothing to do with this…

"You look tired." The Unsub said, my eyes moving to him as he shut his door and started the engine. "You should sleep, you don't look good."

"Maybe that's because I've been worrying about the psychopath stalking me round the city." I hissed which made his hands clench tightly on the steering wheel.

"You should speak to me with more respect." He replied bluntly, his fingers flexing. "I'll have to teach you."

"You're insane! Let us go!" I screamed at him, tugging at the door handle.

"Calm down!."

I felt his arms around my throat before he began to squeeze, my hands instantly began to try and beat him away but I was in no fit state to fight off a guy of his stature. "Please…" I breathed, my head pounding as darkness seeped into my vision. My arms dropped and I couldn't fight it off anymore, my eyes rolled back and he relaxed, pulling the lever of my chair so I'm laid back, staring at the roof.

"Sweet dreams."

That was the last thing I heard before everything went black.
