Chapter 24

I don't own Criminal Minds. Thanks fans for reading my story this far and thanks for the reviews.

"Sir, I have got a hit from someone who looks very similar to Dr Reid's description. Her name is Sammi Handock. She is 28 and she has a criminal record. She was in jail for a few months for drug possession and she was suspected to be involved with prostitution. But while inside jail she was part of this small gang called the red band gang. Basically the gang doesn't like the feds and punishes F.B.I. agents just for that. The leader is called Bruce Masina. I am going to send the address of where Sammi is living to your phone and the address of where Masina lives. Is there anything else you want me to do?" Kevin asked through the phone.

"No, I don't think so. Bye Kevin."

Hotch ran to his SUV. This was the only time he had rushed to get to the SUV without his team in tow. He got into the vehicle unaware someone was waiting in the back seat. He began to drive to the address Bruce Masina was based at hoping he would find the leader of this horrible gang who tried to take all his agents and find all his agents that went missing and most of all have revenge for all the horrible memories all the team will have. Revenge for the amount of time the team would never be quite the same. Revenge for everything. He couldn't wait to get back to Quantico and get this case out of his mind. But he knew that wouldn't happen anytime soon! JJ, Blake and Henry were all still missing and unless he found Masina and all of his associates he wouldn't be leaving Las Vegas for a long while.

He was half way to Masina's house when he saw something glisten in his front mirror. It looked like a watch or bracelet which had caught the light of a streetlight. He knew he was in danger. He was all alone and someone was on his back seat. This person could want to kill him. He knew he couldn't stop without calling someone. He feared for his life. He feared for his team's lives. He feared he would be the first of many to die. He didn't want that. He didn't want his son to grow up without a dad. He would rather not love any woman for the rest of his life than die and leave his son an orphan. "So, Mr Hotchner are you sitting comfortably?" A deep voice said. A cold metal gun was pressed up against the side of his head. He said his prays. He knew who ever was behind the black mask holding a gun against his head was not going to wait to kill him. He was sure if he continued driving to the house he would surely be shot on the way and most likely killed. He knew if he was going to die he would make sure he did everything he could so that the team could find this unsub.

He continued to drive towards the house Masina was believed to have lived in. He continued driving even though the unsub made countless pleas for him to turn off and pull over. He continued to drive even though the unsub threatened and threatened to kill him. He was selfless, he was stupid but most of all he was considerate and most of all he was brave. Then the unsubs anger control issues and worries about the police caught up with her. The unsub knew she had to shoot now or else she would be caught by loads of feds. She couldn't face prison again!

"Mr Hotchner, what would you like your final words to be?" Her Russian accent had taken over. It was smooth and sexy just like her. She knew if she got caught Dr Reid would recognise her and she would be put inside for a long time. She needed to shoot now if she wanted her freedom. "I hope they find you a bad cell in prison! My team and Jack are my life. I love them all." Hotch shouted.

"Get ready, Mr Hotchner." The Russian woman's voice said.

Then the gunshot went off.
