Chapter 16
I don't own Criminal Minds. There is some bad Language in this chapter.
"Hello, Mr Hotchner…" A mysterious voice said
"Who are you and why do you want to speak precisely to me?" Hotch questioned.
"I am the brightness killer and I just wanted to say there is a whole group of us. You might call us a terrorist group but really we have one target and that is you Mr Hotchner. We want to leave you powerless, defenceless. Then we will move in. We already have your two cleverest agents and your linguist expert. We have left your strongest agent mentally unfit for service. He is responsible for your youngest agent being taken. He is a fucking whore. You could put all your agents and their families into protective custody but we would still find them. Just pray that your agents don't get too clever and try to escape!" Then the phone went dead.
Rossi was the first one to ask "So what do we do now?" That was Hotch was thinking. He needed the team to know that their families were at risk but how.
"So Spencer Reid, I will do a bargain with you," A voice exclaimed as I woke up. I uttered the word "What?"
"I will let your father go if you say you love me .If you don't I will kill him." The voice said. I was disgusted. Whoever the voice was tied me to the bed, only gave me water and one piece of bread a day and only ungagged me when she wanted me to speak. How could I love such a woman? "You have 5 seconds Spencer!" The voice exclaimed.
I shouted "If you do kill my father, when the F.B.I find you. You will be convicted of murder and kidnapping two F.B.I agents."
"You obviously don't love him." I heard a gunshot and then I was put back to sleep.
How dare he not love me? He is clever and he should know we are perfect for each other. Is he just another stupid man? No he can't be or else why would my boss (the brightness hunter) want him alive? She thought. She had always been judged. Everyone had thought she was a dumb whore who could be paid to do whatever they wanted. The brightness killer had been the only exception. He was nice, kind. He understood. He was the only one who truly understood! He had unlocked her potential and she loved, respected, him for that. Why did he want this scrawny rat that didn't look rich but very nerdy? It just wasn't like him. But then she looked in his pockets and found an F.B.I badge and knew that Dr Reid hadn't been lying when he said she might be convicted of kidnaping an F.B.I agent. She needed to call him to make sure he knew what he was doing.
Hotch released Morgan from questioning. He knew it wouldn't be beneficial to any of the team to keep pressing Morgan for answers to questions he had himself. Hotch needed to tell everyone their family was at risk. But were they though? He thought. Could the unsub just be threating to take their families away? He couldn't risk it. If any of his team was killed or any of the team's family was killed he couldn't live with himself. He would have to step down as leader. He just couldn't let his mind go there he just had to think he would find Reid and Garcia before anything else happened. But he had to warn everyone but how?
