Undercover Family
I would love to hear your opinions and look to working further on the story.
I do not own or have connection with the "Criminal Minds" program or its characters.
Chapter 39.
Spencer is taken off the stage and removed to another room where the children who have been on the stage have been taken. They are bathed and prepared to be sent to the people who just bought them. The private airport that is nearby will be having small planes taking off to take the children to their new destinations every fifteen minutes. Spencer should be happy; he has been bought by someone who will raise him to be a wonderful courtesan for the wealthy. His virginity will be sold and then he will put into a program that will give him all the skills he will need to make men and women happy. He comes into the room crying but knows he is still an FBI agent and needs to fight the bad feeling inside of him and try to stop the children being taken away and more importantly to him, to stop from being taken away himself.
Back in the room with our little family, Emily and JJ are removed and Derek is left alone and wondering what he can do now. What is happening to his friends and family? He goes to the door and knows that if he was his normal self, he could break it down easily, but he's not or is he. He knows that he always sees his team as adults and they see him as one, can his own sight and belief overcome the device's limitating attributes. Can he truly break that door down? He looks at it and sees the faults and attempts to assess the weakest area and that with one or two good kicks could break it. He lifts his leg and puts all his force into it and merely causes a great deal of pain into his leg as he falls and whimpers sadly.
Back in the stage room, another child is brought in and placed on the stage for sale. David is trying to keep Aaron quiet because the baby is tired and so hot. David keeps wiping him down to cool him down put he doesn't think that it is working well. He is feeding another bottle of water to him in order to keep him hydrated and once again had to change his dirty diaper. Yet he is also very worried about where they took Spencer and what is happening to our other children. He feels so helpless right now about what he can do and is very angry about the current situation. He is tired of this unsub and wants to stop him, but is at a loss right now.
JJ is in a room being fancied as a young girl looking older to be presented for sale. While Emily is the hall ready to be taken to the stage; she is third in line to go in.
Meanwhile in the car on the way to the children, a call comes through on the satellite phone, not the cell phone.
Momma answers."Hello."
"Ma'am, is agent Bob available?"
"No, Bob is driving right now. What is happening?"
"We are at that private airport and it appears that there are many small single planes preparing to take off. We haven't seen any children yet, but we are actually thinking that this may be the way that they are planning to deliver them to their clients."
"That's sounds reasonable and you say that they are getting ready to take off?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"Hold on please." To Penelope, she asks, "Penelope, where are the children?"
"They have stopped moving and look to be congregating in one spot."
"What's our ETA? The agents at the airport have seen many small single planes getting to take off. We think they are for the children. If they are able to off we may lose them completely. We need to get there right now."
"We are about ten miles away now from the blips."
"That would make our ETA in about 7 minutes." Says Bob as he increased the speed of the car.
Momma returned to the phone, "Are you still there?"
"Yes, Ma'am."
"Good, we are about seven minutes from where we believe the children are located, send half of your vehicles there and keep the remainder at the airport to prevent any take offs. Send a few men to the control tower. I have to go now and will call again soon." She hangs up on the airport agent and calls the FBI director in DC on his direct line.
"Director's office."
"This is Dr. Anderson, get me grandpa."
"Rebecca?"
"Hello grandpa, short version, you know Derek was taken, this morning the others were taken, we are now in pursuit. They had been moved from the holding location and are now at a location where we believe they are being sold. You have many agents here going to the location as well as at a private airport, just outside the area. Get the DOT involved; do not let any planes off that airport. According to an agent there are many small single engine planes ready to go. We believe that they will be used to transport the children away to their individual destinations. Let us stop that if we can. We should be there in just a few minutes. I will call with an update."
"Okay, you get the children and I'll check about the transportation end." He hangs up just as Bob stops in front of the house that Penelope indicates where the children are. Momma gets her locator out and goes in search of her children. Although, momma is concerned about the other children as well, her first concern is her own and always has been for her. She lets her agent children and their fellow agents worry about the case children. They enter the house and begin to look through the rooms; all children which are found are bundled up and placed in one the black SUVs driven by the agents. They get to the door with Derek and open it to see him hiding in the corner and unseen by them. The agents just see an empty room and leave. Momma tells them let us check the next room. Derek hears her voice and cries out, "Momma", she turns around and has this bundle of legs and arms throwing itself at her and she hugs back and kisses his head.
She lifts his face to her and says, "It is so good to see you again baby. I have missed you."
"I have missed you too momma." He hugs her so tight that it seems he never wants to let go. He looks at her and says, "They took everybody else away and I couldn't get out to find them."
"It's okay, we'll find them."
An agent comes up to her and says, "Ma'am we have already found 24 of the children (our children are not included in this number) and have them heading back to Harvard. There is a locked and secure area ahead that we haven't yet been able to penetrate. But we are trying."
At that moment the locked door opened and the agents grabbed the men coming through. The agents and momma go through the door and they go through the rooms at the right, another eight children are found and JJ is also found in these rooms. JJ hugs momma, grateful that she is there. The other children are sent to another SUV to head back to Harvard. Another twelve children are needed to be found. The get to the door to the stage room and there are two children waiting in the hall while our Emily is on the stage, herself. Momma wants to go and grab her off that stage, but stays put as Penelope enters the room and attaches the laptop to the system to begin recording the data on the computer in the room. Momma looks in and sees the play pen with two of her boys in it. She surreptitiously enters the room and goes over to them. David is holding Aaron giving him a bottle and looking down very worried. He feels more than sees her and looks up. A look of relief enters his eyes as he hands Aaron up to her waiting arms. When she takes the baby, she is shocked at the heat coming from his tiny body. She looks at David in wonderment.
Whispering, he says that he has been that way for the past hour and although David has tried to cool him down, the fever just seems to be going up. Derek had quietly followed momma into the room and she hands the baby to him. She then reaches in the pen and lifts her big boy out of it. She then takes the baby back into her arms and looks back to the stage, where Emily is getting off of. She runs to momma and grabs her around the waist. Penelope comes over.
"I'll still got the computer running, but it looks like all of our buyers have disconnected. But I think I can find them as I search the computer hard drive."
Bob comes over and says, "We have found most of the children. There still seems to be about ten missing, including Spencer."
David says, "He was sold and taken through that door." Momma looks worried and angry at the same time. She heads to the door and enters a room that is currently empty. It seems that our unsub has taken the children waiting there to the airport. Bob is immediately on the phone to the agents at the airport to keep a look out that there will be eleven children coming to get on planes and they are to prevent it. Bob heads out the house to the car and is going to head over to the airport himself to do what he can to get the children. Momma is about to go with him when Aaron moves in her arms and she looks down at her sick baby. She is torn between getting her big little boy and getting the baby to a hospital.
She decides to check his temperature which should help her make the decision. As she changes his diaper, she does notice a slight rash beginning to form and is displeased with that. She cleans him up and takes his temperature. When it comes out to 104.7 degrees, her decision is made. She needs to leave Spencer to Bob and to take the baby to the hospital. If it goes over 105 degrees, brain damage could begin to be a problem. She moves the children out to the car, Bob has taken a spare SUV and she has the wagon. Strapping the children in, she heads to the hospital in the next town and calls Bob about her decision. He concurs with her when hearing about the temperature and promises to get her little boy back to her in good form.
"I trust you Bob. I am just upset that I can't be there to get Spencer. I don't want him to think that he is less important than any of the other children. Because he is just as valuable and important to me, be careful of his sensitivities to that. He has abandonment issues and I don't want him feel that way from me."
"I'll be gentle and careful with him; after all he is my nephew. I'll call you in a bit."
JJ says, "Momma, aren't we going to get Spencer?"
"Bob is getting Spencer for us. JJ, what do think I should do? Get Spencer or bring Aaron here. Aaron's temperature was 104.7 degrees, if it goes over 105 degrees, brain damage could occur from the fever. What's the best decision?"
JJ looks at her in horror, when she realizes the decision is possibly losing Spencer or the boss man getting brain damage from this viral fever. "I don't know."
"Sweetie, I can locate Spencer where ever they take him in the world. I can find him; it just might take time if they get him out of that airport. I have to trust Bob right now that they can't get him out of the airport. Otherwise, who knows what they might do to him." Momma sobs when she thinks of the horrible things they can do to him. "Yes, he is an adult and should be able to handle it, but he is a young adult and right now a young child. The emotional damage might be worse than the physical."
Her family around her, momma despairs for her little ones. The doctors have Aaron and are trying to find the problem and the correct dosage of medicine to fight the fever and the virus. Spencer is missing and possibly being hurt. She sits heavily down on the chair in the waiting room with her other five children around her. Could this family suffer the loss of two of its own?
