Chapter 8

The Following

WITH MORGAN

"Hey buddy wake up. It's nearly 10." A grizzly man said shaking Morgan out of his deep slumber.

"What did you say?" Morgan asked. Wiping the sleep from his eyes.

"I said get up. It nearly 10." The man said and walked out of the room." Morgan looked around the room and realization dawned on him. it's nearly 10? I haven't select this long since I was a teenager. Morgan thought. He looked down and realized he was still wearing yesterday's clothes. He really needed to go to his place and get some stuff. He finally got it of bed and left his "room". When he found his way downstairs he heard a bunch of men in a room next to the one with a TV. He walked a fairly large kitchen, trying not to draw any attention to himself. That was a fail.

"Who are you?" One of the many men in the kitchen asked.

"I'm Casey Maxwell. I'm the new guy." Morgan said with a small chuckle.

"So you have already had your first job?" A different man asked. Morgan nodded and he continued,"success I take it?" He said. Again Morgan nodded.

"which one is it?" Another man asked.

"Aw dark hair about shoulder length. Amazing body, a little older than the rest." Morgan said trying to sell it. All the men nodded. Some introduced themselves while they ate, but Morgan was horrible with names. The only ones he could remember were a Sam, Joe and a Xavier. But he couldn't be sure. Soon enough he was done with his breakfast and he was looking for the man he had met last night at the meeting. When he found him he introduced himself as Hayden. Hayden gave him permission to go to his apartment and get his things. His escort ended up being the man he believed to be Sam. After a short 30 min round trip Morgan was back in his room putting his stuff away. When he was done he quietly made his way downstairs and looked for Emily and JJ's cell. It wasn't too hard to find again. He looked through the one way mirror and saw Emily on the ground asleep, but he didn't see JJ. He went to open the door but it was locked.

"Dammit." He mumbled and went up stairs in search of Hayden.

"Hey man. Could I get the key to my girls cell. I wanna see the look on her face after she finds out I'm the one who kidnapped her." Morgan said with a believable smirk. Hayden just looked at him for a few seconds before finally giving him the key. He made his way back downstairs and opened the door, he closed it behind him and ran to Emily's side.

"Emily. Emily! Wake up! Where's JJ?" Morgan said. A groggy Emily slowly came to.

"what?" She asked still confused. He gasped at her face. She had been beat. Bad.

"What happened?" He asked with concern.

"He beat me because I didn't give him respect. But don't worry about me! They sent JJ off to another appointment! We have to go get her before it happens again!" Emily said frantically.

"Again?" Morgan said alarmed,"She has already been raped? We were too late." Morgan said now defeated.

"It's not too late! Morgan, JJ is the strongest person I know. She will be fine. But we gotta get her outta there!" Emily said.

"I know, I know. Alright I'm sorry but I have to go." He said leaving and locking the door behind him. He was not gonna let another man touch his women. Not now, not ever. Morgan was determined.

WITH THE TEAM

"Has anyone secured that they are at the location of Morgans car?" Hotch asked.

"We had a drive by and his car was in front of a large old building like the one we put a stop to two days ago." Reid said.

"But we never actually saw any of them or anyone for that matter." Rossi said.

"How about contact with Morgan, any?" Hotch asked his two remaining team members.

"None. Garcia tried tracing his phone but it is off. They most likely took it." Reid answered.

"I would say let's do another raid but, from the last one we know all the extra men are there and we don't have the man power to take all of them. People and victims would be killed. We will just have to wait until they get out of there themselves." Hotch said emotionless as always.

"And with what happened last time, I'm not sure I can trust myself." Reid said disappointed.

"We are sitting ducks." Rossi said.

"Is there anything we can do?" Reid asked.

"As of right now, no. We are playing the waiting game." And with that Hotch stalked off.

"All of them better be alright or I swear to God I will personally kill the bastards myself." An angered Rossi exclaimed. Reid didn't answer he just prayed to God that they were alright. Especially his JJ.

WITH JJ

They had just pulled up to the house and JJ was already fighting tears. She didn't know if her body could handle any more abuse. She was weak and just wanted to sleep all the time, knowing that would take her pain away. Even if it was just temporary.

"Are you crying?" Donovan asked her disbelief in his eyes.

"No." She muttered through gritted teeth.

"We don't have time for that shit. Suck it up. This is your new life. Better get used to it or your gonna be miserable." Donovan said shrugging his shoulders, "Life's a bitch." JJ didn't answer. She continued to stare at the ground and walk between the two big men. Although Donovan did talk way more than Jasper, she could tell Jasper was the dominant one. Even though he was in such a horrible job, she could see wisdom in his eyes. Reminding her of Gideon. Oh how she missed his kind wise eyes. But there was no time to think of that, she needed to get out of there. She looked around. They were in the middle of nowhere. Only a large house in sight. Any means of escape were futile, and would only reward her a beating on her already bruised body. Finally they reached the doorstep of another large house. They same procedure happened as the day before and she walked inside accompanied by Jasper and Donovan once again. They repeated the prices and a deal was set up. She was to stay with this man for 2 hours. He was probably worse than the last one. He was younger but he was very ugly. She looked around and couldn't help but compare the two houses. Both great in size and beauty, although this one had less of a homey feeling. It was void of any pictures suggesting this man was single and lived alone. She was soon enough alone in a large room with the ugly man.

"Don't worry sweetheart. I will be easy." He said. And he was sincere the raping did not hurt as much, physically, as the day before. But the psychological pain would be there forever and haunt her memories. The two hours went by slowly, and once again she was in the car looking out the window as she went to her next appointment. She began to give up. She was void of any emotions, and couldn't help but think that death was a better option. After 3 more appointments they were on their way back to the old building. It was late, JJ couldn't wait to just pass out on the cold hard ground of her cell. She didn't care anymore. Whether she lived or she died, JJ was entering a catatonic state.
