A/N Sorry for the delay. I had planned to finish some of my almost finished stories before I could focus on this one, but since so many liked this I decided to update now:)

I hope you'll still like it. Enjoy:)


Chapter 2

The first clear reaction of the darkness and the quite scary ghost voice was Henry's cries. He didn't want to stop either no matter how much JJ tried to soothe him. Jack was hiding behind his father's legs, hugging them tightly, but trying to stay brave just like his father always was. Rossi was trying to break through the door. Locking and unlocking the door at least six times, but still there was no way to get out of there. Beth, who wasn't really used to things like this, put her hand in Hotch's. She was scared, he could tell by how hard she squeezed his hand, but he couldn't see her face. Of course he was worried too, they were trapped in this house with some kind of monster. They didn't know yet, though. They hadn't seen him and they hadn't tried all escapes. Rossi's house was very big so there had to be somewhere to break out of the house. But then there was the two questions 'how?'. How would they be able to escape and how could they have gotten themselves locked inside in the first place? Surely they must've heard if someone jammed the door shut. Hotch couldn't help the older man break through the door and the closest windows, being stuck with his scared boy to his leg and girlfriend to his arm. At least he could help by keeping them safe. Will was helping Rossi so they didn't need Hotch. He would instead think about what they could do. Hopefully they would all be out of there soon.

Reid and Kevin didn't panic much, even if Reid's heart was up in his throat. Play his games. Could he really make them do that? Of course he could. With the right restrains and threats it was possible. Reid rose from the sofa and tried to look into the hallway, only hearing that they were trying to get out through both doors and windows. Reid got the hint and moved to where he knew the windows were. Having an eidetic memory it was easy to find the way through a completely dark room. However, it was not that easy to get those damn windows open.

"Hey, Kevin, can you give me a hand?" He asked while pressing on the window. Kevin was soon there to join him, but not even two bodies were strong enough. They tried the same with all of them, but none of them would budge.

"By the sound of it you don't seem to have any luck either." Rossi said walking inside the living room. "I need to find me some candles to get some light in here."

Reid immediately stepped to the drawer where he had taken candles and matches before. Unfortunately, the old candles were all burnt out. Reid felt with his hand until he find what he was looking for. He scurried back to the table, bumping into it in the process.

"Careful, Spence." JJ said worried.

"I'm okay." Reid said, lighting a match and putting it against the candle, bringing much needed light into the room.

"It's great to see your faces." Rossi said while sitting down in the sofa. The other agents followed his move and soon all of them were seated around the candle.

In the kitchen Garcia had already started to freak out. It was hard not to, knowing that they would probably die in the nearest future.

"Baby girl, please calm down. We will not play his games." Morgan tried to reassure her. He had heard the others in the hallway and knew that the door wasn't to much help so he was quick to try the windows. They didn't break either. Being David Rossi's house, of course he would have a bullet safe home.

"Easy for you to say, you're used to this shit. There's a reason I rather stay in the safety of my lair." Garcia said, frantically, not stopping her pacing for one second.

Morgan couldn't see her, but by the way her voice went back and forth through the room, her erratic breathing and her heels clicking on the floor it was obvious.

"All clear. None of the windows can be opened or broken. Let's head into the living room so we're less alone." Morgan said and jumped down from the counter.

Garcia stopped at that moment to look at where she thought Morgan was, where his voice had come from.

"You better lead the way, my nose would not look good broken."

Morgan chuckled and felt with his hands where Garcia was. How could it had gotten this God damn black? It was hard moving ahead and find the door, his kitchen just had to be so big. Just to make everything better. Garcia was clinging to his hand behind him while he felt in front of himself. He did remember that the door was somewhere to the right. Before he would have followed the voices, but they seemed quiet now so suddenly. As they exited the kitchen he could vaguely hear them again coming from the living room where everyone was gathered by now.

"You have light?" Garcia squealed and ran closer to it.

"It seems that way. Now we just have to find a way out of here."

"Where's Em?" Morgan asked.

"The bathroom." Reid mumbled. "She said she had to go to the bathroom."

"So she's somewhere in the house alone?" Garcia asked, worriedly, and Reid nodded. "There's a crazy man here, we gotta find her."

"Your analyst is right." The ghost voice echoed across the house. "Game number 1. Find your missing agent. It shouldn't be too hard for you, considering your occupation."

"Please," Garcia yelled. "Don't do this. We have kids here. You can't do this to innocent kids."

"The blonde is once again right. Little Jack and Henry are allowed to leave"

They were all startled at first that the monster knew the names, but then figured that whoever was behind this had to have followed them to pull something like that through. This also seemed too easy. Why would he let them go so easily? But they would have a chance now. If the doors were going to be opened all of them could escape. Though, they still had Emily somewhere there and she couldn't be left alone to endure all of their tortures. They couldn't betray her like that. What they could do right now was to get out as many as possible.

"They're only kids." Hotch said out to the nothingness. "They can't wander out on the street alone. Let Beth and Agent Jareau at least go with them."

It was quiet for a moment and everyone in the room hoped that this ghost would agree. After all, he cared enough about the children's safety to let them out, might as well let them out with someone to take care of them too. Even if Jennifer hated that it had to be her, but she had to be there for Henry. Minutes must have past until the voice came on again.

"I'll let the kids, Jennifer and Beth out. If you could please walk over to the door. Alone."

Jennifer and Beth looked at the rest, seeking more comfort in their loved one's eyes. Will and Hotch both nodded. It was the right thing to do. Four of them would stay alive and this was the only chance they would have to save them. Will gave his wife and son a kiss goodbye, praying that he would see them again.

"If I don't make it you have to make sure that Henry doesn't forget me." He said and stroked her cheek.

"Quiet. You'll make it out of here, I'll make sure of it."

Will gave her a last kiss before he watched the most important people in his life walk away together with Beth and Jack. Just before the door opened the voice could be heard again.

"And I trust you not to call the police. The sound of sirens might just make me accidentally kill them all."

Both women nodded, certain that somewhere in the room there had to be a camera so he could watch their every move. They were right, as the door clicked open just seconds after letting them all out. The door closed behind them and once again the ghost voice sounded through the house.

"Now where were we? Right... Emily is trapped somewhere and you need to find her. Good luck!"


A/N Four of them are safe, that leaves us 8 of them in the house and so far most of them are keeping it calm. Next chapter we will see what Emily is up to.

Please review and let me know what you think:)
