- Luke. Stop fighting the bandage. Emily demanded. "If you're bleeding you can not make it to Penelope."
- We are wasting time here. Luke flinched at the touch of cotton with alcohol. - You gotta have that?
- It has to clean the wound. The nurse said. "It burns at first."
"I could be after her now." He snarled. - What the fuck wants?
No one can answer. Reid was curled up in a corner in the garage. Her friend was taken a few minutes ago for what Luke can remember.
- I need some air. Reid announced and left.
Seeing Reid like that, Rossi knew what was happening.
- JJ. He called her. - Go with him. This lunatic is just beginning.
JJ nodded. She found Reid at the far end of the door. Sitting next to him, he put his hand on hers.
"Do you remember Nathan Harris?" It was the first sentence he said. - The case of the dead prostitutes.
"The boy who tried suicide?" JJ was scared. - I thought he was in a clinic.
Apparently, he left. Reid looked down. "And he's trying to contact me again."
"He can not be alone. JJ said. - Kidnapping, chasing online and physically.
"If he's trying to contact me." Reid's eyes were filled with tears. - Why hijack Pen? I mean, she helped me save him, but she almost had no contact with him.
"You just need to think. JJ looked straight ahead. "You're a good profiler, Spence. You will find something to start with.
"What if it's late for Penelope?" There was sadness in Spencer's voice. "He's going to kill her the minute he realizes I know about him."
"That fear you have. JJ put a hand on his friend's shoulder. Turn in strength.
His eyes changed. It's frightened eyes they turned into full of determination.
Get away from there ...
Penelope was tied to a wall in a filthy, windowless room. Nathan paid the man who helped him and he left, leaving enough time for him to be with his prey.
She had changed so much since the last time he saw her, but if he confessed it was for the better. Curves in measure, blonde hair and spectacular fingers.
The ring on her finger indicated that she was still engaged to the agent. He took the ring off and threw it away.
She'd be gone for a few hours yet. Sitting next to her, Nathan hoped that Reid would find him soon. Though she loved having her here, Spencer was the only one he wanted, but to get to him, he needed a good bait.
Two hours before ...
Luke led Penelope to his SUV. He had woken her up enough to walk to the SUV. The last part of the way he simply took her in his arms and carried her.
He loved the feel of her in his arms, totally asleep. It was a drug that addicted him and left him 13 years old again.
Sensing that someone was following them, the van was the first thing that stood out in space.
A man pointed the gun at Penelope as Luke released her, obeying the rules. Penelope would not go through with it.
He felt something hard in the back, knowing the presence of another helper.
Penelope screamed and then the next second, she also went to the floor, erased.
Now...
Reid dug Nathan's file in the hospital. Cursing the gods for having taken just the person who could do it in seconds. Opening the drawer for a paper, he found two papers, the same as his.
Among the rest one in which she made notes, trying to find out.
- Curse you! - He screamed.
He focused even the damn headache almost sticking his skull. He was not going to leave his friend, almost a sister killed for this guy.
When the printer finally printed the file, he promised to stay away from the computer for a while.
He did not like to look at Nathan's file.
