Emily eyes were freed from the darkness to find herself looking into the dull blue eyes of a young girl, her clothes ripped and bloody. Her feet were black with dirt and her shoes nowhere to be found.
Emily took in her surroundings they were sitting in a room, which had dirt for a floor and wood as walls, some sort of hunting cabin. "Who are you?" Emily asked the girl, "Can you tell me your name?"
"I'm Lily and I'm six" the little girl replied, holding up six tiny fingers as an indication.
Emily smiled, "Hi, I'm Emily, do you know where we are?"
A look of sadness and concentration filled the girls eyes. "No, some big old man took me from my mommy while I was playing with my puppy." Out of nowhere Lily's eyes filled with tears and she started to sob.
"Hey, stop crying," comforted Emily. "Maybe you could help me. I'm a FBI agent. Do you know what that is?"
Lily stoped crying, tears still dripping down her face and nodded. "You catch the bad guys"
"Exactly" Replied Emily, "when the rest of my team realise I'm gone they will find us. I promise." Just as Lily was about to respond the door was flung open and Lily ran into the back corner and picked up a torn and battered soft toy. A bunny rabbit. A man walked in that Emily swore she had seen somewhere before. Whilst she picked through her brains to try to remember.
The Man, dressed all in black, dumped two trays of food onto the floor and with his voice laced with a very strong Italian Accent spoke his first words to Emily "Welcome" The man walked out the door laughing.
Emily approached the trays of food. There were 2 sandwiches, a apple and a bottle of water on each tray. Emily approached Lily, "Is this lunch?" she questioned.
Lily's voice was quiet and Emily could barely hear the words she made out. "This is all we get."
"For lunch….." questioned Emily.
"No. For today. Well at least we gots food" Lily replied.
What. The. Fuck. This guy was starving this poor little girl. That food is hardly enough for one meal let alone a days worth. "Ok. Well why don't we have one sandwich now, the apple later and then the last sandwich for dinner."
Lily nodded and made her way towards the food picking up the first sandwich, inspecting it for a minute before she began eating it.
Emily picked up her first sandwich to inspect it. It was plain cheese. No wonder Lily looks like she's starving. She started to slowly eat the sandwich savouring every last bite. Who knows when they will next get fed?
Hotch was the first to arrive at work that morning. He grabbed a coffee and sat down to start writing up his report from the last case. It had been a long tiring case. While waiting for their parents to pick them up 4 kids had gone missing. The kid cases were the worst. It turned out one of the schoolteachers couldn't have kids of their own and decided that someone else's would do. By the time Hotch had finished his report it was 10:30 and the rest of the team should be in. He walked out of his office and saw JJ in her office on the phone, probably finding them another case. Reid was reading a book probably already finished his consults for the day. Ignoring Morgan who was begging for help.
"Morgan" Hotch yelled. "Have you seen Prentiss?"
"She's not here, I haven't seen her since last night when we left. Go ask one of the girls" Morgan replied.
Not bothering to knock Hotch walked into Garcia's Office, perhaps with a bit of luck Prentiss was down there.
"Garcia?"
"Aghhh! Ever heard of knocking?"
"Sorry, Have you seen Prentiss?" Asked Hotch hoping that his female profiler had in fact turned up for work.
"Sorry sir, not today. Why?" replied Garcia.
"Can you give her a ring while I brief the team?"
"On it boss man"
Hmm that's weird mused it went straight to voice mail. After trying again Garcia tried to run a trace on the profilers phone. After running out of luck She walked up to the bullpen and into the round table room.
"The Unsub is taking a wide range of victims and torturing them in different ways. The bodies are being dumped in a nearby golf course" JJ rattled of giving them the details of the case.
Guys I rang her cell, no answer and I couldn't get a GPS reading either. Spoke Garcia bursting into the room.
Hotch sighed. "Morgan go to her apartment see if she's there hopefully her phone is just dead and she forgot her alarm. Rossi and JJ head out to the dumpsite and Reid come with me to the station. We'll regroup in an hour."
"On it."
