The Lion sleeps tonight

Chapter 3

Every member of the team was working hard. Each looking at the pages of the case, trying to think of what to do. Garcia had flown over the moment she heard that Bella might be a potential victim. She sat eagerly waiting with them, ready to get any and all information they might need to help save her. Both women had become best friends the moment they had met. They sat in the middle of the police station.

"The Unsub clearly has a liking for brown hair, brown eyes. But why take a FBI agent?" Morgan asked.

"Because she fits the description" JJ answered. "This Unsub is fearless, he knows he won't get caught he won't leave any evidence and that he has enough time to do what he wants with these women"

"Was there any connection between the victims?" Emily asked Garcia.

"None that I could find, they women were all eighteen but went to different schools, except the ones from Forks. They ate at different places, they had different friends, none of them ran in the same circles..." she stopped when a webcam screen took over her computer. "What the hell...?" she asked.

"What? What's wrong?" Reid asked jumping up and running over to her stand behind her. "Oh my God" she whispered. The screen was black.

"Someone's sending me a webcam feed, I don't know who" she started typing on the keys, writing in codes but nothing was working.

"Can you trace him?" Spencer yelled.

"Im trying, who ever this is keeps rerouting I can't trace him quick enough" her typing was futile. Garcia stopped when the webcam screen went from black to bright white; it refocused to show someone asleep on top of a basic white mattress. Behind them was a large white room. The duvet was pulled up over their body but brown curls splayed out from beneath, over the pillow.

"Please tell me that's not her" Garcia begged. "That can't be her, it can't be" Morgan's stood behind her and placed his hands on her shoulders to soothe her. She held on tight.

"This didn't happen with the other murders, there was never a video?" Emily pointed out.

"This isn't about the previous murders" Hotch said heartbroken. "This is for us"

Every eye was on the computer screen as the duvet started to move, a soft tired moan filling the air. Bella was slightly visible as she raised her head up slowly, "Spence?" she groaned. When there was no answer she turned her head to the empty side of the bed.

"She still thinks she's back at the hotel. The Unsub must have taken her while she was sleeping" Emily pointed out.

"Yeah but Bella's quite a light sleeper, if she was being moved she would wake up" Reid contradicted.

"Then maybe he drugged her?" Emily said.

They all looked back to the screen as Bella uttered another drowsy "Spencer?" this time she looked up further and around the bed she was on. "Oh my God" she whispered almost too low for them to make out. Finally she looked towards them; recognition crossed her face when she saw the camera. They weren't sure whether she knew it was them or just that she was in danger. A gruff sound of someone clearing their voice sent panic through all of them, in turn making Bella stiffen as she turned forcing the cover till most of her body could be seen. There were no marks on her limbs, she still wore her satin short shorts and oversized worn shirt.

Her body froze completely as she stared at what they could only presume as the Unsub. "Holy shit" she voiced, eyes wide. Bella's face turned from horrified to panicked in mere moments. "NO, no" she screamed scrambling to get off the end of the mattress. No sound of advancing footsteps were heard from the teams end but they stared unblinking as pale muscular arms reached for her ankles. With one swift movement she was dragged down the length of the bed. She clawed at the mattress cover bringing it with her, Bella's body twisted so she was pulled along on her back, her t-shirt bunching around her stomach and arms out above her head.

"Please? Please, don't" she screamed when she got to the end. Instinctively she kicked her legs out. "Please Edward" she cried. Seconds later she was pulled from the cameras sight. Her screams were heard as well as loud beatings, a thump or two and sound of a scramble on wood floors. "NO, NO!" a single gunshot echoed the silence then the screen went black.

No one spoke, only stared in horror.

The story is better in my head, it sounds really bad when I write it but I had to get it out. I know this chapters short but then next one is the last chapter and will be super long. Plus, I'm greedy sometimes and want more reviews :P I'm really glad that so many people like my story and thank you for reviewing my last chapters. Please review! LittleMissKsalvatore x
