Chapter 6
Christina had been keeping an eye on Jared as she was working on trying to find a way to escape. They had to get out of there and soon. She didn't know how long they had been there, but she didn't like what has happened so far. She began to struggle with the ropes that bound her as around her wrists were starting to get red from her struggles. She sobbed as she had hoped to see Reid and her brother again. She kept her eyes on Jared as she suddenly grew worried. He hadn't moved in a long time and she tried to sit up a bit. She hoped that if she got his attention, it would help relax her a bit.
"Jared, can you hear me? Please answer me; I need to know if they hurt you. I have been worried sick about you."
Jared slowly opened his eyes and smiled over at her. He knew that she was worried and he was hoping to find a way out of there himself. He was hoping that if he played dead, that they would leave them both alone. He was trying to make sure that she didn't know what he was doing, or else things could end up bad. Another thing that had him worried was Foyet. Jared knew about what Foyet had done to her family and he didn't want the same thing to happen to her. He was afraid to have Christina be the target again and he had to distract him from her.
"I am not hurt Christina, I promise. I have been more worried about you. I know that Foyet hurt you badly. We need to get out of here and soon. Your brother is looking for you. I am sure that he will find us soon."
She nodded and sighed as tears began to roll down her cheeks. She had to do something soon before something happened to her or Jared. There was so much that they could do before something drastic happened. With Foyet, it is possible that he would just kill her just because of her brother. She closed her eyes and then opened them quickly. She knew that she had to help Jared get free.
"Jared, we need to get out of here soon. When they get back, I don't know what they plan on doing with us. I mean I am so scared on what will happen to us."
Jared nodded as he sat up more. He was going to say something, but he heard a car door slam and he froze. It sounds like they were back and he didn't know what to expect when they came in. Not sure what kind of a mood that either of them would be in when they walked in and he wanted to protect her with his life. She was like a sister to him and the door then opened and Christina gasped. Rossi had walked in first carrying the body of her brother Hotch. Rossi lied him down beside his sister. She tried to roll over to get close to her brother and Rossi laughed watching her.
"Look here Christina; you have your brother to join you as well. Tell me now that you have those who you see as family, are you going to stop fighting us and actually be a good girl this time around?"
She glared at Rossi and shook her head. She hated Rossi even more now and she needed to wake her brother up. She needed her brother to know what was going on with Rossi and that he was behind her kidnapping. In fact whenever he came to the house, she didn't trust him. There was something about him that made her feel that he was not to be trusted. Now that she had been kidnapped like this, she knew why. Rossi sat beside her and stroked her cheek.
"Your brother will never know what I did and if you tell him about it, I will kill you. Little Jared over there isn't going to say anything either if he knows what's good for him."
Hotch let out a groan as he slowly opened his eyes. His head was spinning and it felt like he was hit in the head with a gun. The last thing he remembered was talking with Rossi and then it was blank. Was Rossi alright and where was he? He closed his eyes as he hoped that Rossi was alright. He slowly then opened them as his vision was slowly getting clearer. He hadn't noticed his sister yet beside him as he went to sit up, but couldn't get up. He froze as he struggled to get up. He looked over to one side of the room and he noticed Jared on the bed across from them.
"Jared what happened and how did you get here? Please tell me that you are alright. The team has no idea that you were captured too, they have no way of knowing that you were taken and now I have."
Jared slowly sat up and pointed beside him. He was hoping that Hotch would notice that his sister was right beside him. He was surprised that she was being so quiet; maybe she was thinking this was all a dream. Hotch turned to look to see where Jared was pointing to. There lying naked beside him was his sister. He gasped as he pulled on the ropes and managed to break the ropes that were holding his wrists as he removed his coat and covered her up. She looked up at her brother as she sobbed and tried to curl up against him.
"I am so sorry that I was taken. I was going to warn you when I talked to Reid, but I didn't get a chance to even talk to Reid about anything. I am so sorry, please forgive me."
Hotch shook his head and held her close. He was just so glad to have his sister back in his arms. He wished that the rest of the team had made it there to meet up with him, but now was not the time to worry about that now. He hoped that maybe there was some kind of a trail that was left so the team could find them. Before he could say anything, Hotch was pulled away from his sister and he was staring right into Rossi's eyes.
