"This is going to be so fun" the Unsub said as he pulled the knife back out of the chair.

"No, please" Dave pleaded, his voice not much more than a raspy whisper.

"Oh Davie boy don't worry. I'll make it quick" John replied with a smirk. He quickly untied Dave and slung the limp man over his shoulder, heaving his heavy mass over to the dentist like chair that was still in the basement. He dropped Rossi on it like a sac of potatoes, quickly tying him down to it.

Dave struggled against the restraints trying so hard to turn on his side away from the Unsub but with no luck. He squeezed his eyes shut and tensed wishing to god he could just die now, this wasn't just torture it was humiliation.

"Oh come on now David, open your eyes and watch as I cut off that all important part of your anatomy" John willed him as he finished stripping Dave of every article of clothing bellow the waist.

Dave lost it and cried, the normally well put together man cried and not silent tears but sobs. He was going to die now in the worst possible way for a man and his team couldn't save him. He couldn't help it and he cried and cried and he couldn't stop the wracking sobs that shook his entire body. What was worse was John just stood there watching his face, no smirk and no look of satisfaction just an odd curiosity. Rossi turned his head to the side to try and hide his face in shame as John came around to the side and stared him in the eyes as he continued to cry. Lord why couldn't this stop, where was his family when he needed them most? Where are you when I need you most? Just as he was about to give up all hope entirely the basement door was shattered open. Splinters of wood flew everywhere and Dave covered his face the best he could.

"What the..." before John could even finish he was gunned down where he stood.

"Emily, no. JJ, you all need to stay up stairs for a moment. He's in a...um just trust me." Derek's voice lofted over from the top of the stairs as foot steps rushed down.

"Rossi?!" Reid's voice reached him as someone pulled his pants and boxers up.

He didn't say a word and flinched away as someone tried to touch him, he hid his face so utterly scared to even look up. He was so terrified that it was all a hallucination and they weren't really there.

"Dave. Dave it's me Emily. David please look at me" Emily pleaded as she crouched down next to him and gently touched his face. Someone had untied him and his one functional arm went up to protect his face.

"Oh god Dave what did he do to you?" JJ's sad voice came over him as she touched his shoulder in a light reassuring way by then though Dave had already fallen unconscious and the paramedics began loading him onto a stretcher.

"Who's going to ride with him?" Morgan asked as he looked around at everyone.

"I'll go, we'll watch him in shifts. He shouldn't be alone, not now" Emily told them as they all looked sadly around the blood stained basement. A shiver ran down her spine at what had taken place here, at what had been done to one of the greatest men this team had known. Rossi was in every sense of the word a hero. This maniac had almost taken away everything from him including his dignity. Honestly if Morgan hadn't killed him, she would have, slowly.

Reid shook his head, just based on what he had seen, if Rossi even survived his injuries, which was highly unlikely, he would never work again. He may never speak or walk or write again either and that scared Spenser slightly. The man who had always so full of life wasn't full of life anymore. Rossi was a soldier above all else Reid realized, he was a Marine and he would always sacrifice everything for the people he loved.

"The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him." - G.K. Chesterton
