Chapter 4: MY Maria
Peter raced into the FBI Headquarters. Quickly going to the conference room, where he saw Jones, Diana, and Huges waiting for him. He was glad to see them, especially this late at night.
"What's going on Peter?" Huges asked, as Peter walked into the conference room.
"Neal's been kidnapped." Peter answered, looking at the shocked faces of Diana and Jones. He didn't have a chance to fill Jones in on the phone, he just told him to get Diana and Huges to Headquarters ASAP.
"Are you sure he didn't just run?" Huges asked. Peter turned to glare at him.
"Neal didn't run. I was on the phone with him when it happened. I heard something hard hit the ground, then a grunt and then the line went dead." He looked at Reese. "He didn't run. He wouldn't,not after everything." Huges looked at him, and then slowly nodded.
"Okay, so who do you think took him?"
"No idea. It could be someone from his past, or someone from one of the cases we've worked." Peter replied.
"Diana, get me every file we have on Caffrey, and all the files that he and Peter have worked on since he's been here." Huges said, looking at Diana. She nodded, heading out the door.
"It could also be someone from our pasts too, using Caffrey to get to one of us." Jones suggested.
"True.. But let's just focus on Neal's enemies first." Peter replied. Jones nodded, looking at Huges.
"Now what do we do?"
"Now, we wait, and see if the kidnappers send a ransom or anything. In the meantime, we start going through the files, try to find any information on who could have Caffrey." Huges said, turning and heading out of the conference room.
"Where are you, Neal?" Peter asked aloud. He was worried, and he felt helpless. He hated not being able to doing anything to help Neal, especially when he had no idea who had him, or if he was even okay.
"Stop!" Neal cried out, pain shooting throughout his ribs, thanks to Jim. Jim had been using Neal's ribcage as a punching bag. "Why are you doing this?" He asked, looking at Burton.
"Because, you took someone very special away from me." Burton replied, going over and grabbing something off of the table. He walked back over, Neal glancing at the object in his hand… a taser. Burton walked over to him, holding the taser dangerously close to Neal's chest.
"Whoa, whoa wait!" Neal cried. " Who did I take from you? I didn't even know about you until this case!" Burton stared at him.
"You really don't know, do you?" He asked. Neal shook his head. Burton walked back over to the table, grabbing a picture off of it. "You took her from me!" He yelled, showing Neal a picture of a woman with brown hair and brown eyes. Neal's eyes widen, recognizing the woman instantly.
"Maria Fiametta?" Neal asked. Burton nods.
"Maria, MY Maria! If you would've just given her that bible she wouldn't be in prison right now!"
"Look, Maria is the one who duped me! I gave her the money, but she got greedy and wanted to keep the bible too. She tried to kill me!" Neal said, trying to keep Burton's mind off the taser in his left hand. Neal knew what it felt like to get tased and he didn't want to feel it again.
"No! It's not my Maria's fault! YOU set her up! We were going to get married, until YOU ruined it!" Burton yelled. "And now, you're going to pay." Burton lifted the taser to Neal's chest. "Hurry up and find me already, Peter!" Neal thought as he felt the taser strike his chest and he couldn't help but cry out.
