Where's my baby?
Chapter 24 – More torture!
Emily closed her eyes, tears in her eyes.
She couldn't show him the pain or fear she felt, she was normally good at compartmentalizing so why couldn't she do it now?
She thought about Lilly and how they were still only getting to know each other, they had missed out on a lot and she thought about how much more she wanted to know about her daughter.
She thought about Hotch and she felt sad, she hadn't told him everything, she didn't feel ready yet. She was happy they were starting to get to a good place again though.
Then she thought about her mother and she sighed. She was still so hurt and angry. Emily needed to speak to her and she needed to find out why she had done what she did because she still hadn't spoken to her about it.
Emily promised herself if she got out of there alive she would tell Hotch the rest and the team that Lilly was her daughter and she would speak to her mother and let her explain why she did what she did, even if she didn't like what she had to say.
Then she would tell Hotch about her addiction, why she does self harm and she would talk to Lilly about her real father, they deserve to get to know each other as well.
Emily was suddenly brought back to reality when she was hit in the face again, on the lip this time.
'Ow,' Emily said, she again tried to move her arms but remembered when she saw the ropes.
'It will only get more painful,' MJC laughed at her.
Emily felt her other leg being cut and she closed her eyes in pain. She couldn't bite her lip this time because it hurt.
Emily in a way was surprised that it hurt, as she had hurt herself on purpose loads of times before and they didn't seem to hurt as much.
Michael John laughed as he watched her close her eyes in pain.
He felt satisfied enough though, for now after hitting her a few more times. He knew she would end up with bruises covering her face and he smiled at the thought, she deserved it. So he went over to the table and grabbed something else.
'I'm done with you for now. Goodbye' he said and injected her.
Emily struggled to keep her eyes open as she felt the darkness begin to take over again.
The last thing Emily saw and heard was his smirking face and his evil laugh. She knew that his laugh and smile would haunt her dreams when she got out of here.
Michael John needed time to plan, what he was going to do next.
MJC didn't normally plan but "Sarah" was special, she was different from the others so he needed it to be special and important, something they would both remember for a long time.
Meanwhile MJC was planning, Lilly was at home in her room, she had just gotten home and she wanted to speak to Emily about her day, she had another argument with Vivian and she wanted to speak about it. She would probably end up hurting herself again and she had promised Emily that she would talk to her if she wanted to do it again.
She sighed and picked up her phone, she closed her eyes and waited as she heard the phone continue to ring.
She shook her head, she was probably busy, and Emily had told Lilly she was on another case so she probably couldn't answer.
Lilly had waited for 2 hours and she had been occupying herself, she decided to tidy her room even though it wasn't that messy.
She checked her phone.
Emily still hadn't called her back, she frowned it was past 12 at night now, she could be asleep Lilly thought to herself.
She decided to call Emily again and hoped that she would answer.
She was starting to get a bad feeling.
Lilly closed her eyes when she didn't answer. She tried again and this time it went straight to answer machine. She frowned Emily would never turn her phone off.
Lilly was starting to worry.
She tried to take her mind of this feeling and she went to bed, she was tired.
Emily woke up about an hour later, her body was in even more pain now. She was only left for a moment; she managed to take a deep breath before he came in.
'Hello again…' Michael John started. 'So I've been thinking… I know what I'm going to do with you now,' he finished.
"Great!" Emily thought to herself sarcastically.
Michael got angry when Emily stayed silent, wanting her to say something and Michael wasn't good at controlling his anger, so he punched Emily in the mouth again, making her bleed this time.
Emily felt the room spin and she was suddenly glad she was sitting down.
Emily then thought about her team. "How are they ever going to find me? We've already looked at him and he had no record, they'll think he's innocent..." she hoped Garcia would find something new on this guy.
'You're a weak person…' Michael started but got interrupted by Emily.
'You're the weak one… doing all this… to what? Prove a point to Olivia?' Emily said, making him angrier.
'Shut up, you don't know the last thing about Olivia and what we've been through.'
'You've put her through hell,' Emily replied, looking at him through the eye that wasn't as bruised.
'No I have not; you don't know what she's been through. I do. I loved her and now she's gone,' Michael shouted at Emily, then punched her in the tummy, he was starting to lose it.
'Did you really love her? You don't do that to people you love and care about. You loved the idea of her, you never treated her well, not the way she deserved,' Emily said to him slowly and carefully.
'Argh,' Michael screamed, then punched Emily in the face again and after that he kicked her chair, making the chair fall back, making Emily hit her head against the cold concrete floor.
Emily was dizzy enough and her dizziness only got worse when she hit the floor, the last thing Emily heard was him calling her a bitch again, before she went unconscious.
The team!
The team woke up the next morning early; they were supposed to leave the case today.
JJ called Emily, waiting for her to pick up the phone. She frowned when she didn't answer the phone. 'She's probably just in the shower or getting dressed,' she said to herself.
Everyone had tried calling Emily by the time they met again.
'Have any of you heard from Emily? Because I've tried calling her loads of times and she still hasn't answered,' JJ started. 'I'm starting to worry, Emily never…' JJ stopped, the team all thought of the only time Emily basically didn't answer her phone; when she went after Doyle.
'Do you think she's been taken by the UNSUB?' JJ asked the question everyone was thinking.
Hotch tried not to worry but couldn't help it. If anything happened to Emily it would be his fault.
'JJ you and I will head to Emily's apartment where she was staying and Rossi you and Reid go to the groups all the victims went to and see if you can find anything there. Morgan you go to the office and see if Garcia has any more news,' Hotch ordered and then everyone got to work quickly.
