Reid's POV:
You're startled awake and realize that you'd dosed off. You reach for the light switch, hoping that your lights have been returned to you… alas no. That damn electric company was always getting it wrong. Oh well, it's not too bad, you decide. You reach for your mobile phone to call the electrical company. If only you could remember where you'd left it. You walk around aimlessly for a while before thinking that you may have left it on the night stand in the hallway. You meander over and pick it up, your fingers begin to dial a familiar number already.
Present:
A gun is pointed to your face, and you barely breathe so as not to startle your captor. You look up to identify the gun holder, but their face is obscured by shadows. You try to act calm and tell yourself that your team can find you…if you can just finish dialing JJ's number…just one more digit and you'd have reached JJ. You press the number and the call button, silently thanking god that your captor is unobservant. 'Thank god for JJ' you think, as she picks up on the first ring, but can tell that she must be silent by the way that you haven't greeted her yet. The phone is on loudspeaker and she realizes that she's been called to listen. Your captor hasn't realized that you're on the phone with someone who could possibly aid your situation. "Dr. Spencer Reid" Said a female voice menacingly, "did you think I'd let you get away from me? Surely you'd know me better…more intimately?" crooned the voice. She sounded familiar, yet you have to struggle to remember her, even with your memory. She continues to taunt you, and you're stuck, trying to figure out just who this gun wielding maniac is. Suddenly, something about the voice clicks in your head. It's her. The murderer from your latest case, your face must show recognition as she taps your head mockingly with the gun. You're paralyzed with fear, and can't bring yourself to do anything but watch as she slowly clicks off the safety.
JJ's POV:
You pick up the phone with a smile, anticipating conversation with your favourite genius. You wait for his customary greeting of "Hey Jayj!" but it never comes. What's more, you can tell you're on loudspeaker, something that Reid absolutely hates when having a private conversation. You stay silent and listen to what unfolds.
A woman is talking to Reid, a voice that should be familiar but…something is stopping you from recognizing her. You listen as she antagonizes Reid, mocking his deductive skills, your genius, being mocked. You hear a gasp come from Reid, and realize that he's probably just figured out who his captor is. You think back over the words she used to taunt him… "More intimately…" something about the intimacy strikes a chord, and you remember the voice easily. It's her. The wretched woman that hurt Spence and who killed all of those people. It's her. You wait in silence, seething at her ability to track down Spencer so easily, and quickly grab your mobile phone, and begin tapping out SOS messages to everybody on the team. You make quick work of multitasking, and all the while you're looking for a sign that Reid is in immediate danger. You hope that the team has seen the message and that they are on the way to Spencer's right now.
It's been a while, and suddenly you hear a resonating click come from the phone. It sounds almost like…the safety of a gun being clicked off. Your breath is coming in short gasps as you silently pray that the team arrives on time. No such luck. You hear Reid say goodbye softly and hang up the phone.
Emily's POV:
Your phone beeps a few times and you reach down and tug it out of your pocket. Ah, you think, it's from JJ. You've been waiting for the blonde agent to call or text so you can meet up for a ladies' night. You push open the flap of your flip phone and stare dumbly at the text written.
"Spence in danger gather rest of team and meet at Spence's house – JJ"
Reid couldn't be in danger, there was just something illogical about him being in danger, it was like an effeminate Morgan, or a joker Hotch. It was impossible. You awaken from your shock and hurry to Reid's house to head up with the rest of the team, hoping that you're not too late.
