The next day
"Please tell me that you are joking!" Morgan said angrily. "Where the hell is he?"
"We aren't sure," Hotch said before slamming down a file. "They were both in custody, this was over. Dammit!"
"He faked having a seizure. He got hold of some tablets, the officers suspect from another prisoner. He killed the driver of the police van on the way to the hospital and his guard got knocked out. That was about four hours ago. We have CCTV footage of him running from the van," Blake explained as she came into the room.
"Reid doesn't know yet," Garcia shook her head. "Will knows and he is looking after him for a while. We need to tell him."
"No, we don't," Morgan shook his head. "He thinks this is over. You didn't watch that footage of him in the back of the car with Lincoln. He was so scared and he screamed for it to stop. He screamed and cried for us to come and save him."
"If we don't tell him and Brandon gets to him, he has no warning and he'll be unprepared. We don't know if Brandon will even try to capture Reid again. He has two choices. He'll run and get out of the country or come for Reid for personal reasons," Hotch sighed. "Reid said that Brandon made him do horrible things, worse than Lincoln sometimes."
"Is Lincoln still secure?" Rossi asked.
"He's still secure," Morgan nodded.
Will looked up from his paper as he heard a creak from the kitchen. "Spencer?"
Grabbing his gun, he made his way out of the living room with his gun ready. He brought it up and looked around the corner. He slowly made his way forward.
"Argh!" Will grunted as something smacked into the back of his head. He fell to the floor, his gun falling from his hand.
Reid felt discomfort as he felt a hand running through his hair. He opened his eyes, they widened as they took in the man above him. He tried to scramble out of the bed but the man pulled him back on it. The cold edge of the knife touched his throat and he shivered with fear.
"You're in prison," Reid whimpered.
"Escaped on the way to the hospital," Brandon laughed. "I'm good at being an agent, better at being a criminal. Now, this is how things are going to go. I have three very special people in my car. Special to little Henry. JJ isn't exactly as quick as she was after having another baby and Will was an easy knockout."
"What have you done?!"
"I have Will, JJ and your precious new godson in my car. You're coming with me without a fight. You fight me and I'll kill little Spencer first and then give him to his mother."
"Please, don't," Reid said. "I'll come, I won't fight. Just leave them here. I won't fight you."
"They will stay with us until I'm done."
Reid yelped as he got pulled up from the bed, the knife stayed at his throat as he got led out of the house and to the car. He heard the phone in the house begin to ring. "That's probably your team warning you about me," Brandon laughed.
He cried out as he got slammed into the trunk of the car. His hands got forced behind his back and tied with a belt. Brandon shoved him in the backseat. He saw his new godson asleep in a baby seat, completely unaware of what was going on.
"Brandon, please," Reid pleaded through tears. "Let them go. They have nothing to do with this. I'll do anything. I won't fight and I'll go with you. What did you do to Henry?"
"He wasn't at the house," Brandon shrugged.
"Brandon, I'm begging you!" Reid cried.
"You should now that begging doesn't mean anything to me."
Morgan, Rossi and Hotch raced to the house, they got out of the car and surrounded the house. They all immediately saw the back door wide open. Hotch ran in. "Spencer! Will!"
Rossi stopped when found note on the table with Will's badge.
Tell Henry that Spencer lost him his family
Immediately pulling out his phone, he dialled JJ's house. No-one answered. He tried again.
"JJ, please answer."
Morgan rushed back into the room. "They're both gone! Rossi, what's wrong?"
Rossi slammed his phone shut. "JJ isn't answering her phone."
Brandon pulled into a forest area, Reid instantly recognised that it was the same forest area that Lincoln had brought him to. Spencer watched him turn around and look at him. "I have to finish Lincoln's piss poor job."
Reid took one last look at his godson as Brandon got out of the car. He leaned over. "I'm so sorry."
The door opened and he got ripped from the backseat.
"The baby is gone and so is JJ," Rossi said as he came out of the nursery of JJ's house. Henry was safe at a sleepover. "Jesus, he took them all."
"He's using them against Reid," Morgan fumed. "Reid would never risk them getting hurt for something he did."
They both heard Reid screaming for help from outside of the trunk. It stopped abruptly causing them both to double their efforts to escape. Will kept using the nail that had rolled around the trunk since he woken up to get through the tape around his wrists. He managed to cut through the tape and ripped the tape from his lips. He took off the tape over JJ's mouth.
"Will, hurry up. I can't hear Spence anymore."
"I know," he said as he quickly unwrapped the tape from around her wrists. They both froze when they heard their baby begin to cry. "Oh, god. He has the baby!"
JJ and Will heard someone approach the trunk.
"Get ready," he whispered as they prepared to fight Brandon. The trunk unlocked and opened. JJ and Will both kicked him in the stomach. Will jumped out of the trunk and began to hit Brandon. He took a punch to the ribs knocking him off the man. JJ brought a tyre jack up from the trunk and smacked Brandon in the back of the head. "That's for taking us."
She brought the jack down again and hit him in the private area. "That's for Spencer."
Brandon laid on the ground, unconscious. Will looked up and saw Reid's body motionless on the forest floor. "Spencer!"
Will raced over and found Reid's body, wet and still. "Spencer! Oh god! No!
He laid him on his back and began CPR. He pressed down and watched Reid's body jerk with the compressions. He breathed oxygen into his mouth and continued two more times, repeating the process. "Come on, Spencer. Breathe."
"Will!" JJ called as she held her baby in her arms.
"Don't you dare leave my boys without a godfather," Will said as he pressed down on Reid's chest. He jumped back as Reid's body jerk, Reid coughed and a fountain of water spewed out. Will rolled him on his side and patted his back. JJ came over and knelt with little Spencer in her arms.
"Is he okay?" she panicked.
"He's breathing now. Son of a bitch drowned him. Is the baby okay?"
"He's fine," she nodded. "He hasn't been harmed. Did he do anything to Spence? Did he-?"
Will checked Reid. "He didn't rape him. We need to get him to the hospital. He's unconscious and I'm pretty sure I've got small concussion. What about you?"
JJ touched her bloody forehead. "Just a cut and a bad headache. I'll see if Brandon has a phone."
Hotch pulled up with the rest of the team, they turned the corner to see Reid being loaded into an ambulance. Morgan raced over to him while Hotch went to make sure that Brandon had gotten secured. "Is he okay?"
"He needs to go to the hospital. His body temperature is down and we need to get it up to a safe level," the paramedic answered. "He hasn't regained consciousness. We need to go now."
"I'm coming with him," Morgan said before jumping into the ambulance.
"Take care of him," Hotch called.
JJ held her son in her arms as the paramedic placed a bandage over her head. She refused to let go of him. Will held an ice pack to his head and sat next to her. Garcia and the others appeared at the other ambulance.
"JJ, are you okay?!" Garcia gasped as she jumped into ambulance and sat on the other side of her.
"We're fine," JJ said. "Spence isn't. We heard him screaming and then it stopped. Where is that son of a bitch who took us?"
"He's dead," Hotch said, coming into sight. "I'm guessing the blow to the head killed him."
"I'm not sorry. He took us and I have no doubt he would have killed us. Bastard used us to control Spence. Is Spencer okay? He wouldn't wake up and we tried to warm him up but we didn't have much," JJ said before she closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"He's on his way to hospital," Rossi assured her.
Reid panicked as Brandon dragged him to the river. He looked back to the car and feared for all their lives. Thrown to the ground, he grunted as he got kicked in the side. He screamed as the scruff of his neck got grabbed.
"He failed but I won't. I'm going to kill them, Spencer. You can die knowing that Henry will grow up without a family."
It felt as if knives were stabbing into his face over and over as he was thrust into the water. He screamed but all he felt enter his mouth was water. He struggled but he couldn't escape. His lungs began to burn and he began to stop struggling. Before the darkness took over, his last thoughts were on the three people who would die because of him. Moments later, he closed his eyes. The water turning his lungs to ice.
He coughed violently as he woke up. He struggled to focus. "Hey, kid. It's Morgan. Calm down, you're in an ambulance. Don't touch the oxygen mask. Breathe."
"J...J," Reid moaned behind the mask.
"They're all fine. Will, JJ and the baby. Brandon's dead, kid. He ain't coming back."
Reid closed his eyes again, unable to stay awake.
Garcia held JJ's baby. JJ was getting some stitches to her head but she had managed to escape a concussion. Will had to stay overnight after vomiting in the ambulance, for observation. She walked up and down the hall to keep the baby asleep. So much had happened in a such a small amount of time. Henry was with Blake, she thanked the stars that he had been at a sleepover. She also thanked them for the fact that Brandon had not tried to force himself on Reid. Taking a seat, she cradled little Spencer in one arm and use her finger to stroke his nose.
"You had no idea about what almost happened tonight," Garcia said gently. "I can say this, you'll never know. Your Uncle Spencer loves you. He has promised to protect you no matter what. I love you too. I'm your godmother and I won't let anything happen to you either."
Reid woke up to a small sound next to him. He slowly opened his eyes and found himself beneath a lot of blankets. He felt warm. Reid didn't understand, he just remembered water and cold. He blinked before looking to the other side and seeing JJ and baby Spencer. He looked to his other side and saw Morgan, Garcia and Hotch.
"What happened?" he whispered.
"Oh, Spence," JJ said happily before she smiled at him. "Thank god, you're okay."
"Why aren't I dead?"
"Will and JJ managed to get out of the trunk. Brandon is dead," Morgan explained. "He drowned you but Will used CPR and got you back. You've been out for almost twelve hours kid."
"I'm sorry," he said before closing his eyes and crying. "JJ, I'm so sorry."
"Don't you dare," she said shaking her head. "You've got nothing to say sorry for. We're all safe, that's all that matters."
"He was going to kill you all," he shook his head. "Even the baby."
Morgan moved forward and pressed the button to raise the bed into a sitting position. He pulled the blanket down so Reid's arms were free. JJ stepped forward and put little Spencer in his arms. "He's safe, Spence."
Reid held his godson and smiled as blue eyes looked up at him. "Hey there. I thought he was going to kill you. I'm so happy you're safe."
