The doors slammed forcefully, now everyone could hear every single sound, every bump, every clang, just everything seemed to reverberate through their rows. Making evident of 12 other lives other than the two they were aware of.

The new room was significantly smaller, although the blue prints made it appear the larger of the six rooms they would need to deal with. There was no instructions, no chains, no traps to release paper from, nothing. It was barely 3 feet wider, no door. Panic struck everyone, no door, meant no way out. Then the floor released.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Row one

'Fuck!' Derek said hitting the wall in frustration.

'Morgan...'

'What?' Derek snapped. 'Sorry...difficulty dealing with this.'

'I understand... what's happened to Penelope?'

'What do you mean?' Derek looked at him puzzled. 'She's still the same.'

'No...She's skinny; way too skinny... she looks different.'

'It doesn't matter Lynch, it really doesn't.' Derek said solemnly, he did not want to discuss his and Penelope's personal problems with the likes of Lynch. Then the floor beneath them became tilted and they slammed on their sides as they slid down into a new room that on descent showed dangers already.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Row Two

'There's no door.' Jane observed. 'That means we were tricked.'

'Not necessarily.' Penelope tried the door, it wouldn't budge, not even a single bit. 'This has gotta be a trick...'

'You really love him don't you?' Jane inquired rather bluntly after seeing how Derek had responded to Penelope's simple movements.

'I do... his literally my everything... I know that must sound cliché but he is, his stuck by me through some really tough times, his always been my best friend nothing less, and his always been there.' Penelope looked at Jane and saw the doubt. 'What's wrong?'

'It's pathetic...'

'Go on...'

'Kevin's never acted like that with me.'

'No...his not that type I guess...'

The floor began to slant, and both women lost their footing and fell, sliding down as the gradient of the floor changed; soon they were hurdling towards the new evident dangers of what was obviously the real Room 4.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Row Three

Strauss walked straight to wall opposite, and put her hand right where the door should've been. 'This can't be it.'

'It's not...' Was all Hotch said, still in a state of shock, from seeing his wife and then being plunged into darkness, to walking into a room that basically screamed 'no way out.'

'How can you be so sure?'

'Because it can't end like this.' He reasoned, and at that point he believed it as well. This was too easy to leave them in hanging like this. They had been prepped and kept on edge too much for it to just end here in this room.

He began to pace, thoughtful boss face now covering his entire face. Just as he thought he had worked something out the floor under his feet dropped and continued to tip, he slipped and fell, hearing Strauss fall too he looked up and saw her eyes wide, when he looked down it was too late to brace himself.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Row Four

'I can't believe their okay.'

'Is that seriously Garcia in the second row?'

'Yes, why?'

'And JJ?'

'Yes....why?'

'They've changed so much.' Elle said in disbelief, Penelope Garcia was no longer chubby exuberant one, she was still exuberant but she was on the verge of skinny, curvy, her hair still long enough that its curls bounced. JJ, was a little more fuller in her figure, more due to child bearing and no more were long lock, she now had a short bob type style that made her look more motherly than business woman.

'Yeah... life changed.' Emily said but felt a jerk from beneath. 'What the...' She slipped over at the same time Elle hit the floor. They started an increasing decline down to the floor below; the horror that awaited was not hidden this time.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Row Five

'They're okay, we're okay. We are all going to be okay.'

'Yes we are.' Austin encouraged. The two women having noticed that no door resided in this room began to chant that everything would work out for the better, that this was going to change. 'Positive thinking, the baby agrees.' Austin said as she rubbed her stomach.

'Good because it's going to get a lot more until we get out of this hell hole.' JJ said we a forced smile, Henry in her head all the time, Seeing her team mates, her husband, her friends was churning her to achieve this.

The floor began to lower slowly. 'I think we are getting out.' JJ said as the gradient increased and she slipped over. Now on their backs both women careered down the slope into the jeopardy that was evident in the new room that was bona fide room 4.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Row Six

Reid continued to inspect every wall of the room. 'This is not it.' He said again, when he stopped he looked at Will. 'JJ she's going to be okay.'

'I know she is but she's hurt and she wouldn't give in.' He looked at her. 'Penelope's hurt and that Jane too.'

'Yeah well they are stubborn women, and would kick us if we questioned their abilities.'

Will sniggered and felt strange, Reid's face covered in utter confusion as he realised he was now on the floor and falling faster and faster. The descent down was not so bad the room that awaited them was.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Row Seven

'So who was your person to see?'

'I'm guessing Strauss.' Rossi said, both he and Gideon were now sat against the wall, there was no patent way out apart from the door they had entered from and that was not budging at all. 'How about you?'

'Elle.' Was all Gideon replied.

They realised too late that the floor was now parting on 3 sides from its walls and they were sliding, gathering pace, until soon their drop was so slanted they were almost thundering to the floor and its terrors that waited.
