"Over here," one of the teenaged searchers called out. "There's a black SUV with government plates sitting here. The doors are standing open and it looks like the front end has been bashed in, but I don't see any people."
"That means there is still one SUV missing," Victor hurried over to inspect the damaged vehicle.
"I need a BOLO issued for a black government SUV," he spoke into his cell phone. "If anyone sees it, they should approach with caution. It is unknown who is currently in possession of said vehicle and they may be armed and dangerous."
"Rossi?" Blake was coming around. "Dave – Did you get them? Do they still have them? You need to find Reid and Morgan!" She tried to sit up.
"Whoa – whoa – whoa - Alex. Lay still and take it easy," Rossi easily pushed her back down. "I hear the ambulance pulling into the parking lot. Why don't you tell me what happened?"
"Hotch and JJ were in the first SUV, and Morgan and I had Reid with us in the second vehicle." Blake stopped fighting and lay still, thinking. "JJ had the address for the restaurant, so we were following them. Spencer was rattling on excitedly about having some beet borsch. We had both pulled into the parking lot and were looking for parking spaces when a white van came rushing down the aisle between the parked cars and rammed us."
Two paramedics jumped out of the ambulance and hurried over, setting their equipment down on either side of Blake.
"I am going to have to ask you to move, Sir," one of them told Rossi. "We need to examine this woman."
"I'll move back to give you room," Rossi compromised. "But, I need to hear what she has to say." He held up his FBI identification. "She's an agent, too," he added.
"Okay," the second paramedic began flashing a light into Blake's eyes. "But, try not to get in our way or to upset her."
"What happened then?" Rossi questioned.
"Three men, dressed in black and wearing ski masks and waving guns, jumped out of the back of the van," Blake continued. "One of them fired a shot into the air before leveling the gun at Reid, who was sitting in the back seat. He then gestured for him to get out of the vehicle. Morgan told him not to, but he opened the door and stepped out anyway. One of the men grabbed him and forced him into the van. As they turned their backs to climb back into the van, Morgan and I both got out and tried to rush them. I ended up unconscious on the ground here and – Where is Morgan?"
"We haven't found Morgan or Reid," Rossi told her. "And there is no sign of Hotch, JJ, and the other SUV either."
"We have found them, or at least Agent Hotchner and Agent Jereau have been located," Victor was putting his cell phone away as he walked back over. "Apparently they were in an accident about two miles from here. It appears that Agent Hotchner swerved to miss an oncoming vehicle that had run a red light and he hit a utility pole. They have both been taken to the hospital for evaluation."
"Which is where you are going," one of the paramedics told Blake. "Just lay still and let us get you onto a gurney and into the ambulance, and we will be on our way."
"St. Basil's, right?" Victor guessed.
"That's right," was the reply.
"Come on, Dave," he told Rossi. "I know the way and with me driving we'll probably get there before these guys do." He flashed a grin at the paramedics.
"Don't try anything funny, Victor," one of the paramedics grinned back. "I still remember that stunt you pulled in fifth grade!"
