Chapter 3
A soft golden glow at the edge of the blinds covering the bedroom window woke Lily. Her throat was dry as cotton and her head pounded. She groaned as she sat up. She reached for the glass of water on the night stand and drank it down. She turned over to greet Spencer but he wasn't there. "That's weird she thought he never gets up before me" She got up and carrying the glass walked into the bathroom and switched on the light, turning on the tap she filled the glass up and then splashed cold water on her face. She looked in the mirror and stopped taking another look. She was wearing a very revealing gown that left nothing to the imagination. Confused she walked back into the bedroom for a robe. Lily never wore nightgowns to sleep in she preferred old sweat pants and tee shirts. Not that she didn't have this type of lingerie but if she were to put a gown like this on, Spencer would have it off of her in no time. She went to the closet pulled off the gown and put on a robe.
She turned back to the window and something that had been bothering her since she woke up finally succeeded in getting through her fogged brain. The light was wrong. It was summer in DC and their room faced south. There was too little light. She walked over to the window and pulled the blinds up.
And screamed when she saw the bars over the window.
9 am conference room at the BAU
Everyone was sitting around the table in the conference room as Gideon was filling then in on what had happened the night before at the reunion.
"I spoke with the Baltimore police this morning. They talked to everyone that went to the reunion and found nothing. There were 409 kids in Lily's graduating class. 57 are in one jail or another. 64 have died in the last ten years. That leaves us with 288. According to the alumni committee 215 rsvp'd that they would attend that reunion. We know that 187 actually showed up. That leaves 28. Of the 288, 164 are male. Of the men who attended about half were married and there with their respective spouses. We can't assume that Mark Porter is the man who abducted Lily, although he was sent an invitation he didn't not RSVP. The police are expanding their search to known sexual offenders and Spencer himself was questioned. If not for what we are told by Anne, we wouldn't have a suspect. It worries me that Baltimore can't find anything on this man." Gideon leaned back against the wall after finishing the update to the team.
"What bothers me is how long it has taken this guy to come after Lily. Morgan said then looked at Spencer an apology in his eyes; I'm sorry buddy that came out wrong."
"It's ok Derek I was thinking the same thing. He got up and moved restlessly around the room and came to a stop in front of the white board where a photograph of Lily hung. He reached out to caress her cheek wishing so hard that she would walk in the door and say it was all an elaborate prank she and Anne had played to get back at him for making her go to the reunion. He wouldn't be angry with her he would take her in his arms and never let her go."
"Hey Spencer you, ok man?" Morgan said.
"Yeah but not by much. He turned and looked at the team. Something set him off and made him strike now but I can't figure out what it was."
"Do we think this is revenge on Lily's brother for what his part in what happened ten years ago? Why not go after Steven St John?" Elle wondered.
"Spencer, didn't you tell me that Steven lives in Phoenix." Hotch asked.
"Yes he does, do you think he was to far away to Porter to grab so he went after Lily instead to cause him pain?"Spencer asked Elle.
'I don't think that is it I mean Steven is too far away. Besides, look at the note and the way it is phrased. He says he is righting a wrong and that she will be his forever. He wouldn't use that wording if he were just playing the revenge game. No I think she is the primary target."
"For now all we can do is let Ms Garcia do her computer magic and see if she can find anything on Mark Porter" Gideon said.
"Ask and ye shall receive a voice said from behind them." It was Garcia and she looked entirely too pleased with herself. The man you know as Mark Porter no longer exists. He calls him self Samuel Marshall now. He thought he had wiped himself out of existence. But as you all know by now while others think they are good I am so much better." She grinned.
"Ok, sugar that's great but what have you got for us" Morgan asked.
"Mr. Marshall has many aliases all of them designed for him to hide behind. He pays for each of his utilities with a different name, taxes with another, credit cards another, you get the idea, he is a private detective which is how he was able to watch you Spencer and not arouse your suspicions, but I fished out an address for you right here in DC."
"Alright Garcia, once again you rule!" Morgan said grinned widely.
Lily ran to the door that looked like her bedroom door and tried to open it. It was shut tight and locked. She beat her fist against it yelling OPEN THIS DOOR NOW DO YOU HEAR ME MARK. LET ME OUT OF HERE NOW THIS ISN'T FUNNY. DAMMIT MARK LET ME OUT OF HERE OR WHEN MY HUSBAND COMES FOR YOUR ASS I'LL LET HIM KILL YOU DO YOU HEAR ME! She continued to pound on the door and scream till she was hoarse and her fists hurt badly.
She realized that he didn't hear her on he was ignoring her. As soon as she had seen the bars her memory of the night before came back and she knew it was Mark that had done all this. She was frightened out of her skull. He had completely recreated her and Spencer's bedroom down to the carpet and paint on the walls. The same with the bathroom. She began opening drawers and looking through them becoming more and more upset. Everything was the same her clothes, her underwear and socks, even the shampoo and her cosmetics. All that was different was that nothing of Spencer's was there. She knew then that Mark didn't intend to ever let her leave. She collapsed on the bed sobbing and praying for the safety of her daughter and her husband. A sound from the door made her look up. The door opened it was Mark he had a gun pointed straight at her in one hand in the other he carried a tray with food.
He said "Why Lily you've been crying, what is the matter my darling? Here take some food you will feel better." He backed out of the room and locked the door ignoring her screams.
She went to the tray picked it up and hurled the entire platter of food at the door. I"LL SHOW YOU WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH YOUR FOOD YOUR SON OF A BITCH! She screamed.
She sat down on the chair with her hands over her face weeping for several minutes. After awhile thoughshe began to think her predicament through. Spencer might not find her for days or weeks. She couldn't stay here. She had to think of something to get out of this. "He didn't leave me tied up which probably means he doesn't expect me to be able to escape." He is feeding me or at least he would be if I hadn't thrown the tray at the door. So he thinks he is in control of me. Maybe I should show he's wrong. She had gone to her closet and even though she shuddered to think of wearing the clothes he had touched she pulled out some jeans and tee shirt. She thought he was probably watching her so she didn't take the shower she desperately wanted. She went around the room tiding up the drawers she had opened in panic minutes ago and she made the bed all the time thinking what she would do the next time the door was unlocked.
Washington DC
Morgan and Hotch hit the door to the small suburban home they had driven to after Garcia gave them Porter's address. They went through Morgan high and Hotch crouched low guns drawn shouting "FBI IF ANYONE IS HERE SHOW YOUR SELVES NOW!" They were followed by Gideon Elle and Reid. They fanned out and quickly determined the small home was empty.
Spencer entered the man's bed room and stood there stunned. He was still staring at the wall when Hotch came up behind him "Hey Reid didn't you hear- Holy God" he said staring stunned at the wall. He keyed the mike on his flack jacket, "Gideon you better get everyone in here now there is something you all need to see."
Elle, Gideon and Morgan entered the room each exclaiming over the far wall. It was covered with pictures of Lily and Spencer and Gianna in every part of life. There was a shrine on the table in front of the wall with a large color picture of Lily and Spencer on their wedding day coming out of the church. Spencer's face had been scratched off. A single candle in a votive glass stood before the picture unlit. There were open yearbooks spread out on the table all turned to her picture.
"Would I be stating the obvious if I said I think we found our kidnapper?" Elle said
"Yeah, well where is he now, that's the sixty four thousand dollar question." Morgan said
"He has to have another place somewhere private for whatever he has planned for Lily. Gideon said grimly
They all looked at Spencer but he showed no signs of hearing what they said. He studied the photos trying to find something to help them anything at all but there were no obvious clues.
"We need to get CSI to go thru this place with a fine tooth comb." Hotch said and he pulled out his phone as he left the room to call the DC police.
Morgan was on the phone with Garcia to have her try to locate another property for this guy.
Elle walked up to Reid and touched him on the shoulder. "Spencer I realize this is the most stupid question a human being can ask another but are you ok?"
"Elle I left ok far back on the road, right now if I had this Mark in front of me I would kill him for even thinking he could get away with this." He told her his voice a little above artic in its coldness.
Elle pulled him into a hug and said "I swear to you we will find her Spencer, we will get your wife and Gia's mother back. No matter how long it takes do you hear me?"
Elle's right, we'll find her buddy." Morgan said.
"Listen I know you guys mean well but you can't guarantee me anything. You can see he had been watching and planning for years. The longer it takes for us to find her the more likely they only thing we will get back is a corpse." Spencer began to weep on Elle's shoulder. She looked at Gideon bewildered no knowing what to do for her friend.
Gideon placed a hand around his shoulder and he finally let go of Elle. "Son you have to think positively. I know there are no guarantees but there is always hope. We won't stop ever till she is back.
"I know Jason, I am sorry for getting so upset." He said apologetically to Elle.
"It's okay if I were in your shoes I don't think I would be upright much less working the case so I admire your strength."
"Gideon is right I have to be strong for Gia she needs her mother." He said simply.
Lily pulled a book off of the shelves in the room. He had all her favorites. She had racked her brain trying to come up with something and had decided that if she turned her attention to something else the answer would present itself.
The door opened and Mark entered again with his gun and another tray of food as several hours had passed. Lily decided to try another tact.
"Please Mark, please let me go I need to get back to my daughter. She is so small, she needs me." she pleaded with him
He picked up the first tray on which she had stacked the broken dishes and spilt food she had tried her best to clean up. "My darling please eat your lunch I know you must be hungry" he said ignoring her pleading. He backed out of the room and the lock turned. Lily was hungry and decided that she wanted food more than she needed to throw another tantrum. Even so the food was tasteless to her she had looked in his eyes and realized he was not quite sane and she despaired of ever coming up with a plan to get away.
