Red Alert
Spencer opened the door to find a very distraught Jack on his own and his chest tightened. He knew something had to have happened. Where was Aaron? What had happened?
He quickly ushered Jack in and Jack held onto him tight clinging onto him for dear life. Spencer crouched down and held him close to him.
"Buddy, what is it? Where's your dad?" he asked.
"They took him," he cried. "The bad guys took him. I tried to chase after the car but I lost it. They stole dad."
Spencer tried to calm himself as Lily burst into tears as well. "Jack, who took him?" he asked rubbing his back biting back tears himself. Someone had kidnapped his husband.
"The bad guy," he cried trying to look away.
"Did you see him?"
He nodded. "But they were wearing a Halloween costume too."
"Would you be able to describe him? Even his height could help us find him." He nodded again. "I'm just going to get Uncle Dave and the others. We will find him, Jack."
"I know but will they hurt him?" he asked looking up worried.
"I don't know but you know dad is strong and will be alright."
He nodded and Spencer held onto him while he alerted the rest of the team. They were soon over and comforted them all that they would find Aaron. They were shellshocked that someone had dared to kidnap Aaron on Halloween night while out trick or treating with Jack.
As Danny wasn't working he also came over to look after Lily and later Jack after he'd given his evidence. He was just as shaken but he knew someone had to make sure the kids kept their innocence and remained hopeful that their father would return.
They all brought over Halloween candy to try and cheer them up but at first Jack refused his so Danny put his on the side. They understood Jack was understandably shaken after what had happened but were proud of him trying to save his dad.
He informed them the kidnapper was as tall as dad, about as big as Uncle Derek and was wearing trainers, black trousers, a black hoodie with the hood up over his head and a white hockey mask. He also informed them they drove off in a big black car and someone else was with them.
Thankfully since Aaron and Spencer had moved to a gated area they could get CCTV footage and Garcia got to work on it while Dave, JJ, Derek and Emily went out to interview other potential witnesses.
Spencer was about to head out when Dave patted his chest and said, "No, stay with your children. They need you most right now."
"But they kidnapped my husband. How can I stay home and do nothing?" he answered frustrated.
"You won't be doing nothing. You'll be making sure the kids are alright. Take care of Jack. He's clearly understandably shaken by tonight's events. You know we'll find him."
He nodded and headed back to Lily and Jack trying to calm his fears. He just couldn't stop wondering what they were doing to Aaron of if he'd ever see him again.
