A/N- Hey all, so here is a chapter earlier than expected. Turned out I had written it already, I just didn't know I had!

I can now confirm that this is the penultimate chapter. That said, I have no idea when that will appear as I haven't really started on it. So watch this space.

Also as a final point- I have been asked a few questions several times now, so by the end of this week, I will add some FAQ's to my profile.

And now, on with the show. Enjoy!

Looking down at herself Katy was shocked. The gun had misfired. She glanced back up at James who was staring at the gun. Abruptly he threw the gun to the side and walked over to the table. Katy watched silently as he picked up a knife and turned to face her again. 'Never mind this will do.'

Movement to the right caused both Katy and James to turn. 'James!' Simon had managed to get back up and was still trying to protect Katy, he lunged towards James, missing his target Simon fell face down on the floor. James kicked Simon out of his way and glared at Katy before he made his next move.

Closing the distance between them James placed an arm around Katy and hugged her to him. She felt the knife plunge into her side. She gasped at the pain. He stepped away from her, Katy stumbled back slightly. She subconsciously moved a hand to cover the wound and glanced down at it, watching her blood spread across her clothes.

When she looked back up James was smiling and leaning against the table. 'I'm going to stand here and watch you both bleed out.' He twisted the knife in his hands. Katy again looked up at him, the anger evident in her face. 'Don't be stupid Katy, you know you deserve this.'

Katy opened her mouth to reply, but was interrupted by a noise, James moved from the table, obviously listening to the noise. It slowly grew into voices that Katy recognised. She smiled at James. 'Times up.'

James stepped towards her and put the knife back in the wound, twisting it. This time Katy screamed. He pulled the knife out and dropped it to the floor. He disappeared into the room before returning with a bag. He walked over to Katy again. 'This is not the end of this.' Turning James ran away.

Katy watched James leaving the room as she collapsed to the floor. Glancing towards Simon, he was completely silent and still, eyes closed. Fearing the worst she pulled herself towards him. 'Simon?' She place a hand on him. 'Can you hear me?'

Simon inhaled sharply whilst he rolled over, the pain was evident in his face as he opened his eyes and stared up at her 'I'm sorry Katy.' He reached out to grab her hand.

'Don't apologise.' She squeezed his hand and felt him squeeze it back. Noticing he had closed his eyes again she spoke. 'Simon?'

He opened his eyes and looked at her again. 'Yeah?'

Squeezing his hand reassuringly she spoke. 'We are going to get out of this alive. My team are here. James has gone.'

Simon opened his mouth to speak. 'I know.' He said quietly. He looked at her staring at her intensely. 'I'm so sorry I helped him Katy, I wish I hadn't.'

Shifting her weight Katy reached out to Simon with her other hand, grasping his one hand in both of hers. 'It is ok, I forgive you. Thank you for everything you did to help me.' Smiling Simon closed his eyes. 'Simon, don't go.' Tears started falling unchecked down her eyes.

Coughing up a small amount of blood Simon opened his eyes again. 'I'm sorry.' He looked away.

Desperation filled Katy's words 'Simon, look at me.' He looked into her face again. 'We will get out of this, you just have to stay with me ok? Just listen to my voice and focus on that.'

Squeezing his hand again she felt his grip loosen on hers. 'Simon?' she looked up into his face and saw that he had gone. She tried to reach across to close his eyes, however she did not have the strength to do so, collapsing next to him she spoke to him. 'I'm so sorry.'

Using the last of her strength she tried to roll back towards the computer so she could contact Garcia. Realsing she could no longer stand up, she pulled her body across the floor, eyes focused on her goal. Just as she was about to reach it her vision started to swim and she collapsed to the floor, strength finally gone.

Closing her eyes and accepting her fate she was sure she could Hotch calling her name. She turned to face the noise, opening her eyes fully she stared in disbelief.

Seconds after they had arrived at the factory they had heard the gunshots. With well practiced ease they ran into the building, not waiting for any other emergency services to arrive. Before they entered the building a scream punctuated the night. Wasting no time at all they continued, splitting up to cover more ground. All the time they searched Garcia was updating them on everything that was happening. The more time that passed, the less likely they were to find Katy alive and that was what kept them all searching.

'STOP, ALL OF YOU STOP!' Garcia suddenly screeched into their ears.

Morgan nearly tripped over his feet to stop. 'Garcia this better be important, he's getting away.' He snapped at her.

'I know my chocolate Adonis.' She breathed down her microphone, ignoring his impatience. 'But one of you just passed the room Katy is in, and she isn't moving! I figured you'd find that more important.'

'Yes, get to the point.' Hotch interjected.

'Ok Mr Boss Man. I'm going to ask you all, to walk backwards 5 paces, starting with Morgan, I'm hoping I can see who is near her. Go Morgan.'

Sighing Morgan walked backwards. 'There is no door here Baby Girl, I better be allowed to move on now?'

'Yes, yes, go on.' She mumbled into her microphone, she heard Morgan running off. 'Right is anyone actually near a door? This might make it a little bit easier.' Garcia waited for responses. 'Ok then JJ, Reid and Hotch. When I call your names, walk backwards. JJ' Garcia frowned at her screen, seeing no shadows she spoke again. 'Reid.' Again nothing. 'So that leaves the boss man.' Suddenly Garcia gasped. 'There Hotch, there! She's in there' She heard a thud as Hotch hit the door.

The door wasn't budging for Hotch. He took a step back, breathed in and rushed towards it, this time the door flew off its hinges. Stumbling into the room with his gun out Hotch looked around the room. Once he established it was safe he lowered his gun and moved towards Katy. He noticed the puddle of blood forming near her. Simon was dead on the floor near her feet. 'Katy?'

Slowly she turned to look at him. 'Aaron?' she whispered, eyes full of disbelief.

He knelt down beside her. He looked at the camera and nodded in acknowledgement. She was still talking to the others directing them around the building. He turned his full attention back to Katy who was still staring up at him in shock. 'Hey.' He whispered. 'You are safe now.' Turning her over he placed pressure over her wound to stop the bleeding.

Katy smiled up at him as Reid appeared in the doorway. 'I knew you'd find me Hotch.' She coughed, spitting blood out of her mouth. Neither noticed as Reid walked towards them both and went to check on Simon. 'Can you sit me up a bit please? The floor is cold.' Reid moved towards them both and moved Hotch's hands, placing his own in the wound, allowing Hotch to kneel behind her and helped her sit up a bit, after struggling for a few moments she collapsed backwards onto his legs. He stroked her face, pushing her hair out her face as she cried quietly.

'You are safe now Katy, we will get you out of here.' Katy coughed again and smiled. 'Guess what? Your Mom is here.'

'She is?' She mumbled. 'I'm glad.' He turned his attention away from Katy to deal with sorting out getting the help in for Katy. He didn't Morgan walking in looking angry. Katy turned her head to look at Morgan. 'Oh, he?' Hotch and Reid turned to look at Morgan.

Morgan shook his head. 'Sorry Katy.' He stepped nearer.

'It isn't your fault.' Katy felt the pain in her body, but she also felt the contentment that she had been found by her team. She felt safe and at home. Hotch was talking to Garcia. Katy sighed. Shuddering Hotch suddenly looked down at her. 'Katy are you alright? Garcia, where is that ambulance?'

Katy sighed as she felt her body shutting down. 'Hotch, it's ok. I'm dying, he killed me. I'm just glad you found me before I died.' She could feel her limbs starting to go numb. She was struggling to keep her eyes open she closed them again. 'I just wish I could have seen my Mum first. Especially as she took the time to come over here to see me.'

'You will Katy.' He looked at Reid, who was focusing on putting pressure on her wound. 'Katy!' She opened her eyes 'Stay with me!'

Smiling Katy looked up at him. 'No, it's ok Hotch, It's time.' She whispered as her eyes closed again.

The others arrived in time to see Katy stop breathing. They all gasped as Hotch suddenly moved, knocking Reid out of the way he started giving her CPR, trying to resuscitate her. They watched in silence as he worked on her, trying to bring her back to life.

'Don't you dare die on me Katy. Don't you dare.' Hotch mumbled angrily as he worked on her. 'I've lost too much.' He could hear Garcia crying in his ear, then he felt someone pull him back. He turned and looked at Rossi. The pain Hotch felt matched by Rossi's facial expression.

'It's too late Aaron. She's gone.' Hotch fell to the floor and stared at Katy in complete silence, unaware of what the rest of the team were doing. Suddenly a gasp interrupted him. Looking up he saw Katy struggling to breathe. He moved back across to her and grabbed her hand.

'Hold on Katy, Hold on.'
