Fear and Pain pt.21

Hello, hope you are having a good day. Thank you Emmee for your 5 awesome reviews.

Mattie nodded and closed her eyes. Leo pulled the blanket up till it covered Mattie's shoulders. Mattie was almost asleep, when someone came in. It was a girl around Leo's age. She walked in and kneeled down in front of them. She had a bag full of things they needed.

"My name is Lucy. I have some medical supplies. I'm here to help you." Lucy said.

"Why?" Leo asked.

"This is only the beginning. It will get much worse. I'll try to help you get out of here but it will be very hard."

"Why?"

"I don't like what they're doing anymore than you do."

" How long have we been here?"

"About 2 days. Let me look at her back."

So Leo did. Mattie woke up when the cold air hit her back.

"What's going on?" Mattie mumbled.

"It's ok. Just stay still so that Lucy can treat your back." Leo whispered.

"Ok."

So Lucy treated Leo and Mattie's wounds. When she was done, she left. Mattie finally fell asleep. Mattie had only been asleep for an hour when Jason and his friends came in. They chained Mattie and Leo to the ceiling. They did what they did the day before; but instead of whipping Leo and Mattie, they electrocuted them. As Jason made his way to Mattie, Leo and Mattie looked at each other.

"Look at me, Mattie. Just look at me and no one else." Leo encouraged. Mattie did. When Jason electrocuted Mattie, Mattie screamed but looked at Leo. Everyday for the next month, Leo and Mattie were tortured. Leo always received the worse of it. When Leo and Mattie weren't being tortured, they spent their time in each other's arms.

"It's been a month since they've been kidnapped. Why are we still sitting here doing nothing?" Laura cried.

"I know how you feel but I'm trying to find a way to find them through Leo." Imogene replied.

"They could be dead for all we know."

"We must have hope. Hope is the most powerful thing right now. If we have hope then they will live."

Then Emily came in.

"Imogene, have you talked to Garcia about what to do?" Emily wondered.

"Yeah. Why?" Imogene answered.

"We just found out who kidnapped them. Hotch and his team are on their way now."

So a few hours later, Hotch and his team arrived. They all were in the living room of Emily's apartment.

"So our unsub's name is Jason Riordan. He is known for hacking synths and abusing humans and synths. David Elster and Jason had a big disagreement about synths. Jason's wife was dying. Jason wanted David to save her but he didn't." Hotch explained.

"That sounds like motive. He out for revenge." Imogene sighed.

"But why Leo and Mattie? Why not just Leo?"

"So that he has leverage. So that he can break Leo quicker."

"That might be the reason but who knows."

"If he's a psychopath then he like to see suffer. Maybe he took her just to have fun with her."

"That would explain a lot." Spencer said.

"I can work with Imogene on narrowing it down." Garcia suggested.

"Ok. Spencer, I want you to help them." Hotch answered. So they all tried to find Leo and Mattie.

Leo and Mattie had been kidnapped for two and half months. They were tortured daily. Both were not feeling good. When food and water was given to them, Leo made Mattie eat most of it. Leo was holding Mattie as she vomited.

"Are you ok?" Leo asked.

"Yeah. I'm fine. Just tired." Mattie mumbled.

"Are you sure? You've been pretty sick for the past week. It's scaring me."

"Leo, I'm fine. Just get some sleep before you get sick."

"Only if you'll sleep in my arms."

"Fine."

So Leo fell asleep with Mattie in his arms. Mattie knew that something was wrong. She fell asleep fearing what could happen. When Mattie woke, she saw that Leo was very pale and ill. Sweat covered his face. Mattie put a hand on Leo's forehead and gasped. Leo had a high fever. She looked at his wounds but didn't find any infections. She kissed his forehead and gently shook him. Leo moaned and woke up. He looked up at Mattie.

"Hey, how do you feel?" Mattie whispered.

"Not too good." Leo rasped before coughing up a storm.

"You have a fever. Just relax."

Then Lucy came in.

"Please, he's ill." Mattie cried. Lucy checked Leo over.

"I don't know what he has but it's not from his wounds." Lucy sighed.

Wow, two chapters in one day. That's good.
