I don't own Criminal Minds

Reid hung up the phone and turned toward the Chief. He was about to say something but stopped when he looked around him. "Where's Ellie?" He asked worriedly.

"Oh, I sent her, Mick, and Steve back to the station. I needed someone to show your friends the way here and someone to tell the Mayor what we found."

The sun was setting and he could tell that the others were just as worried as he was about being out in the woods at night.

"It's time to go back." Reid stated as he put his hand over Lila's shoulder and started walking. They didn't go three steps before they heard a vehicle driving toward them.

They raced behind a car and watched as the people get out of the car. They saw a beautiful looking woman come out of the car with a handsome man coming from the other side. Reid saw a little boy was sitting in the truck playing with his hands.

The man and woman went to the minivan with the little girl in it. They opened up the door and carried her, like she was a deer, to the back of the truck. Everyone behind the cars could hear the couple talking as they walked around the cars, looking for anymore dead bodies. "What are we going to do about those kids, who saw the guy yesterday?" The woman looked over at the man expectantly.

"They can't be too far away." The man stated as they walked closer to the car the group was behind. "We find them and we kill them." At this statement Krista whimpered. Robert put his hand over her mouth, but the damage was done. The couple had heard and was doing a more thorough look.

Reid was panicking he didn't know what to do. He looked over at Chris and Chief Mitchell and he knew what they had to do. He got their attention and told them in hand motions that they were going to have to face them. The three of them got out their guns and stood up in one fluid motion. At the same time they all yelled "POLICE."

The woman took out a knife and through it at Chris. Both Reid and Chief Mitchell fired their guns shooting her in the leg, the arm, and her shoulder. But it was too late, she had already killed Chris. The knife had gone straight into his heart.

The woman looked like she was knocked out and Reid made his way toward her, keeping his gun trained on the man. The man started to move and all of Reid's attention was on trying to keep the man from running off. He did not see the woman open her eyes and take out another knife. The woman cried out and sunk the knife into Reid's leg.

She scrambled up and ran towards her husband. They both ran to the truck and saw that their son had gotten out. They saw that Lila had run towards Reid and that he was beside Reid clinging to him like he was his life line.

Reid was in pain, but he was trying not to show it and failing miserably. He looked at Lila, who was crying, she didn't know what to do. "Put my belt around my leg right above the wound as tight as it can go, ok?" He pulled off his belt and handed it to her.

Everyone was in a panic. No one noticed the man take Krista and drive off. Reid was getting annoyed with everyone screaming and crying. "Hey," he yelled. When no one seemed to listen to him, he got up and yelled louder, "HEY!" At that everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at him. "We have to get to town and get more help. My team is on their way will be here tomorrow."

That was when Robert looked around him, "Krista," He yelled out. When he got no response, he yelled again more frantic. "Krista! Where are you?" When she didn't answer still he ran to Reid. "Spencer we can't leave. Krista isn't here, and neither is the couple."

Reid rubbed his face with his hands. 'How did I get into this?' He thought to himself. "Fine, we'll go look for them." He limped toward Robert. "Ben, Storm, and Lila, I need you guys to take the kid back to town and get help." He was immediately met with an uproar. Everyone started to talk at once. "No, she's my best friend." "I'm not leaving you, Spencer." "It's too dark for anyone to come now."

"I know where they took her. I'm the only one who can take you there." Everyone stopped talking to stare in shock at the little boy.

"What's your name, kid?" Spencer asked as he kneeled down to be eye level to him. Reid winched at the pain but otherwise ignored his leg.

"My name is Nathan. I'm eight years old and I hate my parents. I can help you." Nathan said, trying to be calm but his voice shaking with fear.

"Fine, but you have to stay with Lila and Storm at all times, got it?" Spencer demanded.

"Nathan nodded his head grabbed Reid's hand and lead him into the trees with everyone else following."
