Second chapter today. I'm bored, now. I've had a productive day and now I'm home. So. Yea. Hope you guys enjoy this chapter too.


"This guys an imbacile," said Derek with a smirk as he looked at the mugshot of the man who had taken his sweetness on a piece of printed out paper.

"Says here his name is Kenneth Lake. Why does that name sound so familiar?" asked JJ.

"Are you serious?" asked Reid.

"Yea, why?" asked JJ.

"Thats the senator's husband..."

JJ quickly went to her computer to look up images of the senator and her husband. Sure fire, it was him. "What a jerk..." she muttered for lack of other appropriate words.

Derek shook his head, "Seems we have to go to his house, then?" he asked.

Hotch nodded, "I doubt he's there, but we can look," he said.

Once they were there, they noticed the senator home and knocked on the door. "Officers?" asked Andrea Lake, a unbelievably you looking and beautiful middle aged tall red head, as she opened the door.

"We have a warrent to search your house," said Hotch, holding up the warrent.

"Whats this about?" asked the senator worriedly.

"We have reason to believe your husband abducted one of our agents," said Derek as he walked into the house.

"He isn't home at the moment," she said calmly.

"Exactly why we have reason to believe he abducted one of our agents," repeated Derek.

Emily, JJ, and Hotch followed him inside the house, searching for any signs that led them to believe he was even a suspect.

Derek looked over, "Senator, can you unlock this door please?"

The Senator shook her head, "My husband has the key," she said.

"Fine." he said as he kicked down the door. Stairs led into a dark basement. Derek turned on the light, and walked down the stairs.

"Down here," he called up to his partners, looking around the disgusting room. Pictures of he, Penelope, and little Jennifer, along with other random pictures of the two and the agents were hung on the walls, on multiple bulletin boards and such.

The Senator gasped. "I had no idea this was here. I've never even been down in the basement," she said truthfully.

"For your sake, I hope your telling the truth..."

Garcia sighed, as she glanced around the now empty room. Kenneth had gone home and now she sat in a dark, freezing room all alone.

Of course, she couldn't touch the lock on the door of the prison cage she was in. He was smart, other than the fact that he hadn't worn gloves to touch the ransom note. He had put it on shock mode. If anybody except for him touched the lock, they would be automatically shocked.

She sighed again. "Oh boy, come on Pen," she muttered, "How can you contact Derek?" There was no way. Her cell phone was on the desk at the church and that was now blown up...

Kenneth's broken down mini van pulled up to his house and he stepped out, his hand on the gun at his side as he walked to the door of his house.


Reviews? What'd you think of this one? I love the cliff hanger at the end.
