Blue Eyes Angle 2
Chapter 2
2 weeks later
A black SUV was speeding through traffic in Brooklyn, trying very hard to get to its destination quickly but also not to get in an accident at the same time. The driver of the SUV usual doesn't drive often. He usually lets his other team members handle the driving while he sits in the back and directs the driver where to go on the map he holds.
"How do we know that he's heading here?" asked JJ. Her ear was pressed to a cell. She said she was going to call Hotch and tell him where they were going.
"The profile tells that he will be compiled to go back where it all started with his mother," answered Spencer
JJ shut the phone close. "Hotch wants us to wait for them. He doesn't want us to confront the unsub alone."
Spencer turned the wheel to avoid a taxi cab. "We can't do that. If I'm right, he's going to try and kill himself after killing Mindy."
They pulled up behind a blue coupe parked to the edge of the Brooklyn bridge.
"That's Mindy's car," stated JJ.
Both got out and walked over to the car, guns drawn. They looked inside to find nothing.
"The cars not locked," said Spencer.
"She's not in the trunk," said JJ, who had popped it open. "Cars still warm."
"Which means he's got her close."
"Spence."
Spencer followed to where JJ was pointing. On the other side of the bridge a few feet down were their unsub; Tucker and Mindy with him. Both standing on the other side of the stifling grid of the bridge. Even from afar you could see the tears in Mindy's eyes and her shakes as she begged for her life. Tucker was going to jump with Mindy.
JJ and Spencer ran over, once they got close Spencer raised his hand to JJ. "Both of us could spook him into jumping. Let me talk to him."
She looked like she wanted to argue but before she could, Spencer walked over to Tucker and Mindy. He holstered his gun and moved it as far from Tuckers line of sight.
Mindy spotted Spencer first. "Please! Please help me!"
"Tucker Kent," called Spencer.
Tucker's head shot up as he looked over to Spencer. "Who are you? Go away!"
"My name is Spencer Reid, I am with the FBI. I'm here to help."
"You mean you're here to help her. You don't care what happens to me!" shouted Tucker.
"That is not true. I care what happens to you too. I know what you have been through. I know about your mom."
"She left me! It's all her fault!"
"And ever since then you see all women like your mother," said Spencer. "Someone who's just going to abandon you."
Spencer took a step closer to Tucker until he was on edge a foot away from Mindy and Tucker. He could feel the worry and fear radiating from JJ, but he chooses to just focus on Tucker right now.
"You don't know anything!"
"You're right I don't," agreed Spencer. "Only you know what you went through and what you feel and that's okay. Whatever you feel."
"It's okay," asked Tucker.
"It's okay," repeated Spencer. "Whatever you feel right now is okay."
Tuckers rip of Mindy loosen a bit. "It didn't mean to hurt those women."
"I know Tucker. I promise you we will get you help, but you have to let Mindy go."
A few seconds passed before Tucker nodded and handed Mindy to Spencer. With JJ's help, he was able to get Mindy back over to the other side. JJ took her back to the SVU while Spencer turned back to Tucker.
"Come one, Tucker." Spencer held out his hand. "Let's go. It's over now."
But in a split second something it Tucker's attitude changed. "I'm sorry."
"Tucker no!"
Spencer watched as Tucker dropped down and was consumed by the black water of the East River. Spencer knew a person can only stay surface for 20 seconds before they go underwater. That 20 second was the time to save someone.
So, Spencer jumped.
