A/N Like my other story, I've again decided to swich from Reid to Hotch. So you know what happens with both Reid and the Team. But it should be be like this for about the next three chapters. Then it will switch back to only Reid.
So whenever you see ***** in the next few chapters, it means P.O.V. switch.
Well here's the next chapter! I will be posting the next one soon as well. Now that the story is flowing more easily. ENJOY!
Where Is Here?
As my eyes started to flutter open, I noticed a pounding in my head. I tried to recall what had happened before blacking out. I had been on my way to find Hotch, for ordering Morgan to watch me at all times. I needed to talk to him, to inform him, that I was very well capable of looking out for myself. I had talked to one for the police officers, who hadn't seen Hotch. But was wondering if the Chief had been in yet. Which he hadn't been. Nor had he called in sick or anything. Which had his team on edge. Just like it had me and my team on edge when Hotch didn't show up for work. When he got stabbed nine times by the Reaper.
When my eyes finally opened up, I was able to notice that I was in a basement.
"You're the geeky agent. Dr. Reid. Right?" Asked a male's voice, from somewhere in the room.
I looked to my right to see the Chief tied up against a pole in the basement that was holding the ceiling up.
"Chief Dallas?" I question, trying to see his face.
"Yeah, it's me." He answered in a sad voice.
"Who did this to you?" I asked, trying to move closer to him, but failing. I looked up and noticed my hands were tied up just like his.
"Don't really know. Every time he comes down here, he wears a mask." He answered.
If the unsub is wearing a mask, there's a chance we'll get out of this. I thought to myself.
"Where's your team?" Dallas asked shaking me from my thoughts.
"Last time I saw them, they were at your station." I answered truthfully.
He nodded his head in understanding, before leaning back and resting it against the pole behind his head.
I let my head fall forward. I was both grateful and ungrateful for telling Morgan to stay behind. Grateful, because it meant he didn't get hurt. Ungrateful, because it meant they didn't know who had taken me. Let alone that they wouldn't make the connection with Dallas.
I was starting to doze off again when I heard someone coming down the stairs. I looked up to see, whom I assumed was the unsub, entering the room. He had my cell phone, along with some duck tape.
"Evening Gentlemen." He said walking over to Chief Dallas.
His voice sounded familiar. But I couldn't pin-point where I had heard it before. Besides the tape. But even then I was sure I had heard it else where.
"You're sexy boss man has been calling non stop." He stated in a voice of disgust. "So you're going to call him back. Give anything away, and you will die. Got it?" He clarified before pushing a button on my phone.
He placed my phone to my ear, and waited. After two rings Hotch's voice came through the other end.
"Reid? Where are you?" He exclaimed.
"Hotch, don't worry about me. I'm fine." I said not knowing what to really say to his question about my whereabouts.
"Reid, are you in trouble?" He asked seriously, and in a low tone.
"No." I answered, which was a half true. I was in any true trouble at the moment. But come an hour or so later, who knew if that would still be true.
"Will you be able to come back to the station?" He asked his voice hinting he knew something was up.
But before I could answer. The phone was taken from my ear. The unsub duck taped my mouth, before address Hotch. He put the phone on speaker.
"Agent Hotchner. Pleasure. So tell me. How's it feel to know one of your agents is gay? Or did you already know that? I mean you've worked with him for years. Surely you've known." The unsub smirked.
"Reid's not gay." Stated Hotch in a blunt voice.
"Don't be so sure about that." The unsub smiled.
"If you hurt him…"
"You'll kill me? Is that what you were going to say?"
"..."
"Thought so. You know it's sad when you can't figure out those around you. But I could. And trust me when I say, if you ever get Agent Reid back, he'll never be the same." The unsub stated, then he hung the phone up. Before taking the battery out. "Well looks like your team only has five hours to find you. Before that real fun begins."
"Damn it!" I exclaimed, throwing my cell phone across the room. Causing it smash into a wall. Making every member of my team, still here that is, jump.
"Where is he?" Morgan asked, guilt written all over his face.
"With the unsub." I answered hanging my head in defeat.
"We'll find him." Rossi said in a sure voice.
"He said if we Reid back, he'll never be the same." I stated.
"When. When we get Reid back." Rossi corrected me, laying a supporting hand on my shoulder.
"But he also said that we have until Midnight to find the next victim." Garcia stated, with hope.
"Exactly. On the video. He said we had until midnight to find the next victim. If not…." JJ trailed off.
"Good luck." Garcia finished scared.
"Wait a second. Something you said on the phone has been confusing me." Prentiss said.
"What is that princess?" Morgan asked using her nickname he gave her.
"Something Hotch said. And I quote. 'Reid's not gay.'" She answered looking straight at me.
"She's right. We've all worked with Reid for years. And we all know that he's straight. So why would he take…."
"Because Reid's not straight. The unsub is right. Reid's gay." Rossi stated bluntly.
TBC...
