The agents and SWAT watched as the sewer line breaching the east wall just outside c-block began falling apart with hits from the inside.
A head peered out, the prisoner heard clicks from all around. He peered out in disbelief at the surrounding gunmen around him.
"Evening. Going somewhere?" Rossi asked, sarcastically.
The prisoner put his head down in disbelief and disappointment, so close.
Rossi told the agents over the intercom they caught some of the prisoners trying to escape, thanks to J.J.'s ears. Morgan and Prentiss had gone back out to help rally through the prisoners and retain some of them, they needed Morgan's brute. Prentiss used seduction to get a hold of them.
"Including Rawdon?" Natalie asked, wanting to confirm they had him alive.
The SWAT captain gave the order, "Kershaw and Bring, you stay here in case more prisoners come back through." He turned to the agents, "We should keep moving to the control room."
Reid countered, "We should also sweep E-block. Rawdon could be holed up there."
"Captain, I'll stay on your six." Natalie volunteered. J.J. and Reid looked wide-eyed at her and she shook her head, dismissing their protests.
The captain looked to the agents, "Fine by me. Just watch your front sight."
SWAT and the agents all split covering their immediate assignments.
J.J. knew Reid was worried about Natalie, "she's a good agent." J.J. whispered in reassurance.
He shook his head, "I know. We have to stay focused." He said more to himself than to J.J. as they made their way to E-block.
Natalie and the SWAT captain entered a circular room with red doors all over, prisoners inside each one. She noticed a table centered in the room with yellow lines like a track making a circle.
What is this wing? She thought to herself.
"Captain." The Warden came over the mic.
"Go ahead."
"Just got a sitrep. The prisoners have the control room." The Warden told him.
"Copy that."
Captain turned to Natalie who was pointing her gun around, clearing the room.
"It's gonna get hairy in there. They won't give it up without a fight. I need you to stay here." The captain told her.
She nodded, that was odd but she trusted the captain so she listened.
"Copy that. I'll wait for your signal."
The prisoners were locked up, she would be okay.
She watched as SWAT left for the control room.
She looked around at her surroundings, she noted where she was, A-block. She sighed a breath of relief that not every block had been breached, yet. She was silently hoping SWAT got to the control room before the prisoner's noticed and opened the cells.
SWAT carefully approached the control room, they busted in, shooting the prisoners down immediately with perfect aim.
The SWAT captain saw one member of his team on the ground. He noted the guards in the control room with him.
"One man down, everyone else okay?"
The SWAT captain began to survey the room as he did, he noted the swastika peering through on one of the guard's arms who replied, "We're okay. We're good."
His eyes became wide, "It's a trap!"
The guard with the swastika registering he needed to fire first, he fired directly into the captain's neck. He fell to the ground, it didn't take long before the captain was completely gone.
"Captain, do you copy?" Natalie asked over the mic.
"Captain?" She asked again. She did the best she could to prevent her voice from breaking. She didn't know what block this was or who was in here with her.
"Natalie?" "Natalie Adams?" A voice pierced through the room.
Natalie swallowed, it didn't take but a moment before she registered who the voice belonged too.
She calmly approached the cell, wanting to keep a cool demeanor, "Kyle?" She asked, softly.
"I knew it was you. I'd recognize your beautiful voice anywhere." He looked her up and down like she was something to be had.
She rolled her eyes in disgust while maintaining her cool.
He licked his lips, his pupils dilating at her sight, "It's a piece I've had before." He smirked.
Natalie scoffed.
"What are you doing here, Kyle?"
"The profiler doesn't know? The profiler who couldn't figure out what her sister did? Think your sister took out a marine all on her own?"
Natalie tried to hide her shocked expression but it was evident on her face. She shook her head, that's why Cat didn't get caught but that still didn't explain why he was in there since no-one had been charged with Connor's murder until recently.
She knew Kyle needed to be charged with a lot of sexual abuse too. Natalie tried to pretend that never happened, Cat felt so betrayed and angry at Natalie even though, Natalie hadn't done anything wrong.
"Even if you did that, that doesn't explain why you're here. You weren't charged with his murder."
"You should know, Cat's sexy and she loves men she can't have," Kyle replied, a creepy smile still stretched across his face.
Natalie grimaced. "She couldn't have you?" She raised her eyebrows, tilted her head, pressing her tongue into her cheek to display what she thought of Kyle.
"I taught Cat how to be who she is. I could have taught you the same thing. Mmmm." He said as he chuckled, "Cat turned me in for every murder I committed before her. She's good and I heard that's what she does to her clients now or her old clients. I know you arrested her." Kyle said, flatly.
"Much deserved." Natalie replied, "I don't need to learn anything from you."
"Is Dr. Reid supposed to teach you something?" He asked, knowing that would throw her off.
She looked confused, how could he know that. Then again, the prison break was planned but why would the prisoners be so concerned. Not prisoners, one prisoner, Natalie thought. If Kyle hadn't been so self-possessed, he could have loved Cat.
Natalie scoffed.
"Hey, Rawdon." The guard that had shot SWAT down greeted.
"We're all clear." He told him as Rawdon entered the control room with the other guards who were part of the plot.
Rawdon looked around at the casualties, it didn't phase him.
"Take the automatic weapons, their uniforms, and vests. We're going out the same way they came in."
The guard who seemed to be Rawdon's right hand looked at the video feed from the control room.
"One problem. We have feds in A and E block."
"We'll take care of E-block ourselves. As for A, I held the monsters back for a reason. Let em loose." Rawdon ordered.
Kyle had been rambling on about Cat and Connor and her family, she had stopped listening as it continued to make her squirm because she wondered if Cat had never met Kyle if she'd be different but she couldn't let herself wonder that.
*****BBBBZZZZ*****
Cells began to slowly open up.
Natalie quickly registered what was going on and she immediately jumped up from the table, drawing her gun as each door began to open.
"Finally." Kyle bit his lip.
Natalie tried to act tough with her gun drawn, ready to take these monsters out but she couldn't do it alone. She was dead and she knew it.
