Chapter 3

Hotch and Morgan where inside going round the house checking for anyone who was there. As they entered the last bedroom and found a radio sitting next to a blown up doll they heard the car alarm sound. Morgan ran out first and heard the sounds of Kim's voice screaming as she fought to get away. Hotch was just behind him as they reached the car.

"Where do you think they have gone? They can't get far we have not seen another vehicle." They could hear her scream and they ran in the direction it came from when they heard her scream in away that had changed it had changed from one of someone fighting to one of fear that went suddenly silent. It was like a blow to Morgans heart the fact that they had left her behind and put her in danger and now they had lost her. Hotch looked like he couldn't believe what had just happened. They heard the sound of bikes and all sound stopped.

The two went back to the car to call the others and get them here to search for her but when they got there they found that Garcia was still on the phone and it was on the floor of the car Hotch picked it up "Garcia?"

"Hi Hotch I take it that you didn't get to her."

"We'll get her back she has shown that she is tough and intelligent she'll make it. Can you tell us what happened it seems like she didn't fight just screamed at them. She didn't even give a signal she needed help we just heard the alarm I don't understand that."

"Believe me she fought. They had a gun, when they pulled her out she started to kick I heard her it only made them laugh I heard something drop on to the floor and a grunt don't know what that was."

"Ok we have to find something and get back to the others as well as search the woods for her."

"Don't say that you said she would be ok."

"Hay Hotch we have a note."

"Lets see it."

On a small piece of paper where the words

THANK YOU FOR THIS LOVELY GIFT. WE WILL SURE USE HER WELL. PRETTY LITTLE THING ISN'T SHE SHAME YOU COULDN'T PROTECT HER LIKE YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING TO. LEAVE AND DON'T COME BACK TO BOTHER US OR WE WILL TARGET ONE OF YOUR OTHER LOVELY CO-WORKERS, THE BLOND LOOKS NICE.

Hotch read the letter aloud and watched the anger rise in Morgan as he hit a nearby tree. "Hotch we have to get her back." As they got back into the car to go back to the others now knowing that Kim was not going to be found so easily Morgan noticed that his side tire was let down "Hotch we cant go anywhere they have let the air out of this tire."

Hotch hit the steering wheel and phoned Reid to come with help and informed them of what had just happened and the girls where not to be left alone at all. He could not risk to lose more of his team to these men.

Reid was not impressed that they had let Kim be taken and when he told the others he said all of us should go to them and work as a group team it will take longer but if they took Kim from Morgan and Hotch then they could take any of us. Gideon, JJ and Emily all agreed and went to help the other two.

When they got there they were filed in on what had happened and of the note that was left. "You left her here while you went in. Morgan tell me this is not true? After last time when we dealt with someone like this and I left JJ to go round back I was taken and you let it happen again?"

"That's enough Reid you weren't here she was left here so that if cross fire happened then she would not be harmed. Right now we need to decide what happens next." Morgan all but shouted at him.

Gideon sighed "standing here is not going to help her. We need to find out what they do to the girls they take, and how they would now of you coming here and that she was with you. They defiantly made her their target to get to us and they knew that we said we would protect her as she was not yet trained."

Reid thought it all sounded a bit wired but as Gideon made the statement it all clicked into place. "Erm what if there is someone in the police here that is in on it. It would explain the number being so high with someone in on the force they can hid information on the missing girls and even smudge the number of girls that have been found in the reports. It would also explain how they knew what they did. The girl that came in earlier she was one of their victims and was made to come in and tell Kim what she did then come away with a possible threat to her sister to keep her from actually saying all."

The team looked at Reid as if he was the bringer of something that was deemed unthinkable but it all made sense. "In that case then lets set our own trap lets say that we are not putting our co-workers in any more danger that we have lost one we wont lose any more and move the files to another place to work from there away from the police."

The looks on Morgan and Reid's face said they didn't like this that it would seem as a betrayal to Kim if all was true and it got back to her that they had left her. They knew though that what was said had to happen if they had a chance of seeing Kim again alive.

They got back to the police station and left saying that they where coming off of the case. They found a flat that Hotch got for them time while on the case and set up their stuff. Working in a group like this and not splitting meant things went slower. 3 days went and they made little progress as the began to profile all of the police on the force to try and figure out who the rat was. If they could find who he was then they could possible find Kim and the rest of the girls.
