Chapter eleven: Breath
Morgan cursed out loud. "This isn't working. No one is home and no one saw anything even if they were home. We are losing time."
Reid looked around looking for inspiration as if Prentiss would jump out yell surprise.
"He could be doing anything to her and we are just knocking on doors. We could have passed by house assuming it is empty. For all we know!!"
Reid cocked his head slightly "ok lets use the profile, what do we know about this unsub?"
"Well he has issues with his mother hence the pent out rage at children of mixed gender, so probably isn't great with women yet we know he is married. I would still bet he pays women for sex though. He has to kill in twos to fully pervert the children due the positioning of them. He is organised, methodically, patient, and must be some what normal appearing since no one picked up on the fact it was Jones."
"So what does that mean for Prentiss?"
"Well her kidnapping wasn't planned, at least not to the extent he would have wanted to, but he must have had a plan be because he disappeared form sight with a body in minutes. He so far has record of sexually abusing adults so she … but we can't be certain. Basically Jones taking Prentiss is completely off the profile and we have nothing."
Hotch and JJ just reached the site. The ambulance was pulling off with Addison in back leaving behind a group of angry cops. Hotch and JJ quickly got of their car and walked over the centre of the crowd. Hotch surveyed the situation and shook his head. He really hated when it was one of their own.
"Sir what do we do now. Morgan and Reid are out looking and they haven't found anything."
Hotch just looked ahead, clearly lost in thought. JJ shifted on her feet. She wasn't sure if she should bring him back to reality or not but Prentiss was on the line so she gently touched his shoulder
"Sir are you ok?"
Without shifting his stare he said barely above a whisper "What I hate most about one of our own missing is I keep going to use them like 'Prentiss go south check houses there' but then I have to tell myself it is her we are looking for. I am meant to keep her safe and I sent her on a fool's mission, sent her straight into the lions den."
"Sir Prentiss knew what she was getting into and it is her job. She doesn't doubt you ever neither does anyone else, not even Morgan so you should never doubt yourself. Prentiss needs you now. We need a plan of action."
He looked hard ahead for a further second then looked over to JJ "thanks"
Then looked around him "Ok this is what we are going to do JJ ring Garcia get her check every property on this street one of them has to belong to Jones or some one Jones knows well. Or one will be empty."
Then he turned to local police force "I know you are all reeling from Addison and Jones but we need a focus force now. If you feel you can't focus, please go home."
A few shifted their feet but no one left. Hotch nodded with satisfaction. The chief's word had clearly stuck with them.
"OK we are currently getting a list of suspect properties along this stretch once we have it I want you to split into teams and search them. Bear in mind he had no problem shooting one of your own today so you are all at a disadvantage because you can't shoot him as easily."
"Huh watch me" one cop said and was greeted with cheers.
Hotch frowned he was trying to work out whether it was emotion talking or bravado but could be dangerous though.
"It might be tempting to shot him but is he really worth your badge, your career and how does that help Addison if you kill the man who shot him before he gets tried and punished."
JJ hung up the phone then and went up to Hotch "there are four houses, two owned by a Mr Kiely but no other details about the house. The bills are at an all time low. It looks like it is use only infrequently. One house is on the property market so it is vacant and one house completely derelict and there plans in motion to knock it down at the end of the month. The rest are occupied by families and the like who all stand up under Garcia searching she is still looking though."
Hotch nodded and turned back to the crowds. "I want three teams. He pointed to one group go to 214, it is a derelict abandoned house he could be hiding there. The house is going to be knocked down soon so it could be unsafe so be careful any signs of the house falling get out of there. Group two go to 278 the house is up for sale but it is currently unused. Go!"
The teams went to their various houses.
"Ok those who are left we are going to 198 it is a house owned by a Mr. Kiely but we are suspicious it is a false name and second house to some one so we are checking it out. We have to thread carefully though we could be wrong."
Hotch turned to JJ "Ring Morgan and Reid about the other house Mr. Kiely owns and tell them to be careful we don't have a warrant." JJ was reaching for her phone before Hotch was even finished.
"Hey Morgan…"
"Ok sweetie, your wound is all clean. I am sorry I had to knock you out but I didn't think you would come willingly other wise. You so remind me of my mother. She was quite a woman. I was eight when he first came into my room and do you know what she did, she made him a gourmet breakfast the next morning. He kept it up till I was 19 and went to college. And every time she would cook him a hot breakfast. And what did she do for me she told me I was weak and that I shouldn't be wetting the bed at my age."
He was working himself up and getting more agitated. Prentiss looked around for something to help her but her hands were useless.
"Can you believe I was the victim, I was" he was yelling now. "I wanted the breakfast and the back rub. But it is ok" he said he started to calm down a bit and he sat beside Prentiss stroking her hair
"Because she was on my side after all. My dad was obese and he died of a heart attack. From all those greasy breakfasts. Irony you got to love it. But it wasn't enough for me so the summer I returned home for my dad's funeral I showed my mother what it was like to have no say what happens in your bed. Then I suffocated her. I watch the life go out of her eyes like she watch the joy go out of mine."
Prentiss just looked at him with such disgust. "You raped and killed your own mother"
"Don't look at me like that, she had it coming she should have protected me. Stop it don't look at me like I am evil or ..or " he lashed out and hit her then. He slapped her right across the face.
"Oh I am sorry. My poor girl. You mustn't make me mad"
"Ok so you had a bad childhood why did you go after those poor children?"
"Because my girl should have been in the centre! I was a good father, did what ever it took to give my girl everything. I never touched her. But then one day she isn't at school gates when I go to collect her. So I go into her classroom looking for her and she is on his desk with him holding her down. She is crying for me and I was too late. She was blind, she couldn't even see who it was. She had no idea what was happening to her."
Prentiss mind was reeling, "But why the children why not just enrol her in the centre. Some of the children weren't even patients"
"I know that is where I am a genius. I knew I needed to kill a patient but I thought if I killed a few random children it wouldn't be so obvious. Anyway I think we have talked enough, sitting this close to you" and he moved even closer to her till he was practically sitting on her lap "his making me all hot and erect."
Hotch and JJ donned their FBI approved bullet proof jackets and led the team to the house. JJ took half the team around back and Hotch lead the rest through the front door.
"Open up FBI" Hotch yelled. No response "Open up FBI"
After waiting five minutes he told JJ over their ear com to enter on five.
1 2 3 4 5 'crash'
Morgan hung up on JJ and turned to Reid "Ok man we have a plan. There is a house owned by Mr Kiely that is dodgy looking. Hotch has given us the clear to enter even without a warrant. But we have to thread carefully"
"Ok so lets go"
They rounded up the cops and headed to their house.
The first group of cops had finished their sweep of the house and called it in "Chief, there is nothing here let Hotchner know. We're heading back to station. Any word on Addy?"
"Just he is in surgery and is fighting. We don't need you here. Addy will be out of surgery soon why don't you go and be with him."
"Thanks Chief"
"Hotchner, it's the chief here. Team one is finished their sweep and they turned up nothing. I sent them on to the hospital. Hope that is ok."
"It is thanks let me know when team two are done please"
"Will do"
"Get off me" Prentiss struggle against him stroking her.
"Look I told if you don't enjoy our time together I won't get help for your cop friend."
"He is your friend you served along side him. You worked with him for 20 years and you can just leave him to die in the next room. How do I know he isn't already dead? I want to see him."
"Oh not going to happen. if you haven't realised I am in charge. Not you. Now lie down."
"I can't not with hands tied to the bed post."
He looked ready to pop but he realised she was right. So he got reached for a scissor on the desk nearby and cut the tie that attached the cuffs to the post.
Then roughly he pushed Prentiss down on to the bed. He jumped on top of her started to take her top off he pulled it till her hands were above her head with the top up at the top. The cuffs stopped it coming fully off.
She tried to push him off, to kick him anything but she was completely pinned under him. She tried all the same.
He just laughed. He then sat up on her and lifted her body to him with his hands behind her, he took of her bra.
He looked down admiringly at her breast. "Oh you are a thing of beauty."
He start to massage her breast and still she fought and wriggled beneath him. She tried pushing him off screaming. Anything!
"Chief this is team two checking in with nothing to report."
"Ok thanks, you can join team one at the hospital they are waiting for Addy to come out of surgery."
"Bye"
"Hey team two have checked in and they have nothing. They are joining team one at the hospital."
"Ok thanks." Hotch hung up and as he said number five he kicked in the door.
They rushed in and filled the rooms. A series of clears were called out and soon JJ met Hotch half way in the house. Simultaneously they looked up the stairs.
They moved silently in unison as they made their way up slowly. They reached the top of the stairs and cleared the hall, no one in view. They split one went right the other left checking each room as they progress down the long hallway. But the house was completely vacant.
They met again at the top of the stairs both shaking the head. Nothing!
JJ picked up her phone and called Morgan. He was their last hope now.
Morgan reached their house and viewed it. From the outside it looked barely lived in, the grass needed a major cutting and the house itself could do with a coat of paint. It also looked empty.
"Hey JJ" Morgan said picking up his phone. "Please tell me you found her."
"No nothing none of the teams have picked up anything. It is up to you now."
"Ok but it doesn't look good. House looks empty."
JJ started to say something when a scream rang out.
Prentiss everyone thought in unison.
"I got to go JJ"
"Go get our girl"
The team split up, half went round back with Reid and Morgan took the team through the front door. Morgan didn't wait to count to five though he kicked the door in and went straight upstairs.
"Prentiss, where are you" Morgan called out.
"Morgan I'm…" but the rest was muffled out.
But Morgan heard enough. He went to the only door that was closed and busted in.
Prentiss continuing to struggle and in the process the key for the cuffs fell out of his pocket. Prentiss noticed but Jones didn't. Prentiss moved her arms down by her side pretending she was trying to get comfortable. She had the key in her hand. She tried to open them. But she kept dropping the key.
Eventually she managed to open the lock.
Jones was slowly moving down to Prentiss trousers. He was unbuttoning them when she used both of her hands to push him off. He snarled and lunged at her and she kicked centre in the knees.
He fell to the floor groaning and Prentiss made to go to the door but he dived and grabbed her ankle.
She screamed and fell hard on her knees. She tried to crawl to the door but he didn't let go of her ankle. She struggled and she managed to land a foot on his nose. It started gushing blood.
"Prentiss where are you?"
Prentiss looked at the door. "Morgan I'm…"
Jones had jumped on her had put his mouth over hers and then covered her mouth with his hand.
"Just like my mother."
Prentiss struggled and fought. She hit him repeatedly. But he didn't budge. She was running out of air. Her head was spinning. She was slowly passing out.
Morgan then was suddenly over her. She could see his outline but he was blurry.
"Prentiss, Prentiss stay with me. Come on girl, breath! It is ok now I am here."
"Morgan" she choked. She drew in a really deep breath then another. Her breathing go stronger with each breath. Morgan sat back on his heels and he sighed with relief.
Suddenly Prentiss started to panic "Where is Jones? He…he"
"Shush don't worry he is gone the cops have taken him to the station. Your safe now"
Prentiss sat up slowly Morgan caught her back as she started to spin.
"Are you ok?"
"I'm fine I think. I" she started to say but then just shook her head. She suddenly realise she was naked and her hands flew up to cover her self.
Morgan suddenly realised as well and looked away blushing beyond red.
He scrambled over the bed and grabbed her top he threw it at her with out looking at her.
She quickly put it on and stood up. She walked over to Morgan and gave him a huge bear hug, then pulled back and said "Thank you for saving me but if you ever tell anyone what you saw I will shoot you myself."
"I didn't see anything. I didn't see that you have a small freckle on the side of your..."
Prentiss playfully hit him across the face and sat down on the bed. The energy sapped out of her.
Morgan reached for his phone called Hotch.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as word spread that she was ok.
