Ta da! See here is the new chapter. Just for you guys and it´s longer and Thank you so much for the comments, I really appreciate them.
Again, sorry for the mistakes I´m working on getting a beta. Now Enjoy!
Chapter X:
"Tell me Jennifer, do you have a family?" John asked as he approached her and when she didn´t respond took her by the hair forcing her to look at him. "I asked you a question! Do you have a family? "
"What do you care?" JJ replied with anger in her voice, she wasn´t going to tell him about her family so easily.
"TELL ME! I need to know ... "He screamed staring into her eyes and holding her hair firmly while putting something metal on her left cheek. JJ felt the knife over her face, but she never looked away from him.
"Why?" Press the blonde. Perhaps by doing this, she could buy some time for her team so they could find her.
"Why do I need to know?" he repeated using a lower pitch. "You said, you weren´t like her ... that not all of them were like her..."
"It´s true. Not all women are the same and it's horrible what happened to you, but you can stop this, you can decide to finally end it." Hearing this John lower the knife and began to think in JJ´s words. She hoped her words were enough to convince him of what she was saying.
But apparently that was not going to happen, John moved his gaze from the floor to JJ again and put the knife in the position where this was a few seconds ago. His eyes were different, JJ noticed.
"Liar..." he said "you're lying! You´re just saying it to escape. All of you are the same, liars, awful people. "His voice began to rise and his eyes reflected pure anger.
"It´s not a lie! It's the truth ... "JJ tried to reason but it was impossible. The words weren´t working on him and Jennifer knew. Now her only hope was the team.
"Now... What should I do first?"He began to think, moving the knife gently against the blonde's cheek. "Oh I know, let's play something. What if I ask you something and if the answer doesn´t convince me, well ... we'll see what happens. "He took a chair that was in a corner of the basement and leaving it in front of JJ proceeded to take a seat.
"Oh but first ..." John approached the blonde and with a swift move of his arm cut JJ´s arm, leaving a trail blood. JJ released cry surprise by the attack. "That was for not answering my first question." He said.
"We weren´t even playing at the time." she reproached him through clenched teeth.
"We weren´t? Really? O my fault then. "He laughed."Okay first question. What is your favorite color? "
The question came as a surprise to JJ "He is joking right?" She thought.
"Come on Jennifer! Is not that hard! I made it easy for you, ´cause you know what they say about blondes." he teased.
Looking into his eyes she answered "Blue".
"See it wasn´t that hard. Now let's make it a little more... complicated. Who is the strongest member of your team? "This was the idea, thought JJ.
"Why do you want to know that? What would you get from my answer? "The blonde asked.
"I am the one asking the questions here Jennifer not you, but I'll make an exception this time. I want to know two things. First! I want to know the people who think they are so smart that they could catch me and second…I want to know how real you are ... Now answer my question."
JJ knew she had no other choice more than to answer his questions.
"All are strong" She replied infuriating him once again. John got up, but this time he placed his hands around her neck squeezing slightly.
"You think you're smart! Don´t you want to live? "Shouted, squeezing her neck even tighter.
"Yes! ... you didn´t specify ... strength... for me all of them ... are strong ..." JJ said, trying to breathe as much as possible with her airways being squeezed by the UnSub. It was becoming a hard thing to do.
He released her and watched JJ for a few seconds while she tried to catch her breath. Taking the knife again he buried it with all his strength in JJ´s right leg. She let out a piercing scream at the pain of the unexpected attack.
"Let's see if that teaches you to not play games with me." Farley said walking back to the trunk, leaving the sharp object dipped in JJ's thigh. "Now answer me this, who is the smartest of your team? And don´t say anything stupid or it´ll be much worse Jennifer." and taking the stick again, sat down across from her.
"All are pretty smart, but I have to say… Spencer, because he is a genius." JJ smiled at the memory of his best friend, the awkward and unsociable, but tender and loyal Dr. Reid.
"I see ... For a group of really smart agents and a genius, they sure are having some trouble finding you and me. Don´t you think?" He was enjoying the moment; His idea was; not only physically hurt JJ, but mentally as well. Talking about the people she trusts with her life and pointing that they weren't there to save her. JJ knew the trick, but that didn´t mean it didn´t hurt.
"They will come… I know they will." She assured him.
"I like the faith you have in them Jennifer, really, it makes you ... much ... fun and rare. Now next question, who is the stupidest member? '
This was a question she would not answer, couldn´t answer. It was an impossible question.
"No one." JJ said almost in a whisper, her breathing was becoming more and more difficult and the pain in her leg was almost unbearable, she was also worried that it was bleeding too much.
"I think you didn´t understand the rules of the game. Apparently it's true what they say about blondes" John said approaching and raising his arm with the stick hitting her in the stomach. JJ bit her lip suppressing a cry.
Just as he was about to strike a second time a noise was heard from upstairs. JJ's heart stopped, listening intently her face brightened. It was her team, her family, they were here.
John panicked; the talking and being focused on JJ prevented him from noticing the arrival of the FBI.
"Shit!" He exclaimed angrily while pacing.
"Listen, you have the opportunity to give up and surrender. You can end this once and for all… "JJ told him.
"You know? You're right about something, I can finish this ... but not the way you'd like." He took a small knife from his back pocket and walked towards her.
"This is it" JJ thought. She was going to die in this place, with her family so close to find her, without the opportunity of saying goodbye. Living Will and Henry the two most important men in her life, her everything.
Outside of where Farley had JJ the FBI, with local police, were planning entry.
"All right listen. We will split into groups just like before and we´ll take the same positions, understood? We have the place surrounded, there's no way he can escape from this place." Hotch said and seeing all nod, gave the order to take positions.
"Hold on JJ we're here" Emily thought as she waited with Morgan. This time they entered quietly.
"Clear"
"Clear"
It was the only sound as they went through the first floor. Emily and Morgan ran into the only closed door.
"Ready?" Derek asked. The detective and Emily nodded weapons ready. Opening the door with a single blow, the three officers went downstairs to the basement, flashlights ready, due to poor illumination.
The scene in front of them stopped them in their track. John was near the wall opposite the stairs, holding a nearly unconscious JJ with a knife placed in her neck.
"Don´t move or I swear that I´ll cut her neck." Farley threatened. He wasn´t agitated, he seemed rather annoyed, this was something that worried the agents.
"Put the knife down Ferley. We have the place surrounded, you have nowhere to go." Morgan said with his gun pointing directly in front of him, trying to find a way to stop him without hurting his friend.
"What if I don´t do it? From what I can see you are the ones that have more to lose here. What do you say my dear Jennifer? "He said pulling her even closer to him and pressing the knife harder causing some blood to appear.
"John, listen." It was Emily who spoke this time. Her hands were raise a little, showing John that she just wanted to talk. Emily slowly approached them, but always leaving a space between her and Morgan´s gun.
"What are you doing?" Wonder Farley.
"I just want to talk." She caught the Farley's attention making him lose a bit his grip on JJ.
"What your mother did to you wasn´t fair, but this is not the way to get over it. Not all women are like her, I´m sure you must know some pretty decent girls."Morgan looked quickly between Emily and the subject. At that time the rest of the team joined them trying to alter as little as possible the situation. "Let Jennifer go and maybe we can work something okay, maybe we could get you some help, okay? No one can hurt you now, your mother is gone. You don´t need to keep going with this. "As she spoke, Emily got closer and closer to them, leaving enough room for Morgan to take the shot if necessary.
"No, no! That´s a lie! ... all must pay and you, you´re just like them! You're just justifying their wickedness! "Now he was more agitated, he was vulnerable and Emily took that opportunity.
"No I'm not! John, look into my eyes and tell me I'm lying." He did and he wasn´t sure of what was in Emily´s eyes. Now he was confused.
"No! This is wrong! "JJ, who had been listening intently to the exchange between her friend and Farley, looked up looking directly into Emily´s eyes. In that moment she knew what to do and gathering the last strength she had left pushed her body backward, taking them both against the wall. The movement of the blonde took the man by surprise and without wasting more time JJ hit him in the stomach with her elbow, causing him to lose his grip on her.
JJ threw herself forward, falling into the brunette´s arms. It took John almost nothing to recover and seeing both women defenseless, he run to them with knife in hand, but was thrown to the ground by the force of three bullets connecting directly with his chest.
"JJ! Jen! Can you hear me?" Emily shouted, worry in her face and voice. JJ opened her eyes slightly.
"You came... I knew you would." She said looking behind the brunette. Reid, who had approached quickly after Morgan shot Farley, was now kneeling beside his best friend.
"Hey, don´t worry JJ it´s over. Just hold on a little more, ok?"The youngest profiler said.
"Ok ..." was the only answer he got before she closed her eyes.
"JJ! Jen! Jennifer, wake up! Come on Jen! "Emily begged.
"She lost too much blood" Reid said looking at the knife in the blonde's leg.
"We have to get that out of there and stop the bleeding," Emily said. By now the rest of the team was beside them.
"We can´t! If we do it we could make more damage to her leg." The concern in Reid´s face was reflected in everyone.
"Then, what do we do?"
"Give me your shirt Morgan" Derek didn´t protest and handed it quickly.
"Okay now I need you to make a tourniquet right over the wound to stop the blood flow." Morgan did as he was told.
"Where is the ambulance?" Hotch yelled.
"They just arrived" Detective Morrison said with a concern look.
"Did you hear that Jen? Help is here" Emily had tears in her eyes one slipped down her cheek, but was quickly wiped away.
The paramedics began to move the team so they could have a better access to JJ, but Emily kept her hold in the hand of his friend and JJ did the same.
"Agent can tell me your name?"One of the paramedics asked checking her pulse, while the other took care of the leg wound.
"Jennifer ..." was all she could say.
"Ok Jennifer I need you to stay awake, ok? You are in good hands now."Placing her on the gurney they began to wheel her to the ambulance. The rest of the team was behind them and Emily's hand still holding JJ´s.
Once in the ambulance Hotch told Emily to go with JJ and that they´ll be following the ambulance in the vehicles.
"Come on JJ you are strong. You´re one of the strongest person I know, so you stay alive, ok? We need you, Will and Henry need you. You can´t leave them." Emily looked at her friend who had lost consciousness a few minutes ago.
"Ma'am, you´re bleeding" The man said to Emily. She took the hand, that wasn´t holding JJ, to her head and noticed the wetness in the area where the UnSub had hit her. She knew she had ripped it open, but she would take care of that later because now JJ was her only concern.
"It's nothing, really. I'll get it seeing when we get to the hospital. Now just take care of her, please." She said without taking her eyes off Jennifer.
"You sure?" He insisted.
"Yeah, I´m sure." She said leaving no room for discussion.
Now tell me. Did you like it? What´s going to happen to JJ now? :O Is Emily really ok?
