Parker was visibly shaking. The sight of the coffin and thrown her off her A-game. She thought she still had more time. She thought she was ready to die but now she wasn't so sure,it was all becoming real.


Morgan followed Graham back into the room. Graham was going to stay in there just out of sight because not being in there made him crazy. The two settled down into seats waiting for whatever was to come next.


"Scared?" Bryce asked as he situated the chair Parker would be occupying.

Parker saw his attention was not on her so she leaned casually over and flicked a switch turning on the feed hoping that Bryce wouldn't notice but the team would.

"No," Parker said,hoping the fear didn't come through in her voice.

"Good,you shouldn't be. We aren't planning on killing you yet."

Parker was silent for a moment,she seriously hoped the team would do something so Bryce couldn't see the feed was turned on on their end, "Why? Why don't you just end this. You're only keeping me around to hurt them but what you don't know is that really they don't care."


Hotch realized that Bryce didn't know the feed was on and instantly grabbed black paper and covered their camera and hit their mute button


Bryce came back to Parker and shoved her into the chair and tied her with wire, "What do you mean?"

"They're only pretending to care. They never wanted me. I basically turned JJ's life upside down. They didn't want me and I didn't want them. The only thing you are doing is taking them from other cases."

Bryce came around to look at Parker to see if she was lying and as far as he could tell she was being straight with him, "You honestly think that?"

"I don't think it, I know it. There's a difference."

"So,what happens if you get out of here?"

"That's a good question. I'll live there until I'm 18,but only because I have to and after that I'm gone. I'll leave. They'll make me promise to stay in touch and to write and call often,I'll agree and tell them to do the same,and we will. We'll stay in touch for the first couple months but then a case will come up and it will be one missed call or forgotten letter,I'll have an exam and forget to send a quick text and before you know it,one turns into two which turns into a week long silence and then a month followed by a year. Maybe after a couple years one of us will remember and make a note to send a letter or something but it will never happen. But,it's all guess work."

"You don't love them?"

"I care about them but love?No. I don't love them and they don't love me,they only think they do."

"What about that boy-the one who you talked to."

"Graham? He means nothing to me,he was just something to keep me occupied."

Parker held her breath hoping Bryce would buy her lie.

"You could do better then him," Bryce sat down in a chair,seemingly interested in what Parker was saying.

"You think?"

"I don't think,I know," Bryce smiled at Parker, "He seems like someone who likes a challenge and then after that he would throw you away."

"That seems about right."


Graham looked at the screen in disbelief. He glanced around and saw the entire team just standing there,completely unsure of what Parker was doing.


"Let me ask you something kid, let's say you were to get out of here alive-where would you go?"

"If I didn't have to go back to them?"

"Yeah."

"The country,somewhere in the middle of nowhere. Somewhere with no neighbors for miles."

"Somewhere like here?"

Parker did a silent cheer in her head,this was exactly what she was hoping would happen, "Yeah,if that's what it's like out there."


Hotch turned around and saw the confused look on everyone's faces, "He doesn't know the feed is on but Parker does, she's trying to get him to give up their location without knowing it.


"You know kid,you've grown on me a little. I really hate to do this but Molly should be coming back soon and you look a little too pretty for her liking."

"Bryce wait, yo-you don't have to do this. I can tell you're a good man you just got side-tracked by your love for Molly."

Bryce narrowed his eyes,not sure if he liked what he was hearing


Morgan held his breath, "Don't push him Parker."

"Come on kiddo,be smart about this," JJ whispered as she gripped Emily's hand.

Reid didn't say a word out loud but in head he was sending words of encouragement to Parker.


"A good man? I'm not a good man,if I was I wouldn't do this," he said as she slammed a crow bar into Parker's shoulder.

Parker screamed out in pain. She moved to grab her shoulder but the wire cut into her arm, "Please,please don't Bryce. I'll do an-anything just pl-please stop."

A look of pain crossed Bryce's face as he slammed it against her side. He hit her there again two more times and slammed it into her stomach a couple times. Parker was sobbing from the pain. This was it,she couldn't take anymore as he brought the crow bar back and swung down on her shoulder again.


Garcia buried her face into Morgan's shoulder as the scene unfolded in front of the team. Graham gripped Hotch's hand as Hotch stood next to him. Reid went and wrapped his arms around both JJ and Emily who both didn't want to watch but couldn't stop watching.

"He-he's gonna kill her," Graham whispered.

"No,not yet. He said they weren't going to kill her yet. We still have time. She needs to get him talking again," Hotch said in what he hoped was a reassuring tone.

Graham wasn't buying it but didn't say anything, it killed him to see Parker going through this but there was nothing he could do to save her.


Bryce dropped the crow bar and fell to his knees, "I'm sorry,I'm so so sorry kid but sh-she would leave me."

Parker was trying to control her tears. She needed to ignore the pain but it was all she could think about. She knew that Bryce hadn't noticed the feed yet so the team was hopefully still watching. Parker looked right at the camera hoping the team realized that this message was just for them, "Then fi-finish it. Let me go. St-stop these games she's playing and fin-finish it yourself. Sh-she may be angry at first because she couldn't ki-kill me herself but at least you finished it yourself.

"You're telling me to kill you?"

"I'm telling you to stop trying to save me,let me go. One blow is all it will take.


Reid looked at Hotch, "She's not only telling him to kill her but telling us to let her go. Stop looking and let what happens happen."

"No,we can't do that. You guys can't let her go, I can't let her go," Graham spoke up.

"We aren't going to, we are going to find her," Hotch said.


"I can't."

"You can't what?" Parker was getting angry.

"I can't kill you."

"Why not? You've already taken everything else from me," Parker continued to try and block out the pain but was struggling, "I have nothing left. You said it before, I'm a whore. A slut,whatever you want to call me and you're right. You took the one thing I had keeping me innocent. Not once not twice but multiple times. No one would want to be with someone like me."

"What do you mean someone like you?"

"Someone broken and damaged."

Bryce thought about what she was saying when Molly came in, "Aww look at her. Great job Bryce."

Bryce looked over at Parker, "Molly,do you love me?"

"Of course I do baby,why would you even question that?"

"How much?"

"How much what Bryce?"

"How much do you love me?"

Molly looked confused,not sure where this conversation was going, "More then anyone else will ever love you."

"Would you do anything for me?"

"Like what?"

Parker was struggling to keep conscious but felt like she was losing,she was seeing black at the corner of her eyes but she needed to find out what Bryce was doing.

"Let the kid go,we shove her in the box and drop her off on the side of the road and let someone find her. If she lives she lives and if she doesn't she doesn't."

"Why would you want to do that?" Molly asked.

"I can't kill her."

"Why not?That's why I brought you on,to kill her and hurt them."

"Why do I have to kill her?Why can't you do it?"

"We're in this together. You and me."

Bryce looked ready to contradict her but decided not to, "You're right. In this together."

Molly walked over and kissed Bryce, "That's my man. I'm going to go and get some sleep. You coming or are you going to stick around here and mess with her for awhile?"

"I'll be there soon. I want to spend some time with her first."

"Okay,don't stay too long. Nighty-night Parker," Molly blew her a kiss and walked out.
