I do not own Criminal Minds

"Rossi and Reid, you get these buildings," Hotch told them pointing to a map. "Morgan and JJ, you get these," He pointed to another section. "Sherriff Jenkins and I will take the rest. Call if you find anything."

Everyone nodded and then took off in the direction of their assigned buildings. Reid and Rossi made their way to the first one and silently entered. The building was a maze of rooms and hallways. They entered the first one and saw nothing. They continued down the hallways checking the rooms systematically. When they had checked the whole building they hadn't found any sign anyone had been here in the past ten years. Rossi shook his head and Reid grimaced. They left the building and headed for the next.

His hands were shaking with excitement as he entered the room Emily was in. It was hard for him to contain his enthusiasm when he saw her. He walked into the room and saw her lying on the floor. Oh how beautiful she was, and how much more beautiful she became when she was in pain. He walked over to her and kneeled next to her sleeping form.

"Good morning Sweetie." He said waking her up.

She jerked open her eyes and he saw a split second of pure terror in them. Just a few seconds later she was able to cover her eyes with a steely glaze. He leaned over her for a good morning kiss and she had no energy to stop him. When their lips touched she closed her eyes and tried to move as far away from reality as possible. He moved his hands around her waist. They slid across the silk of the torn dress she was still wearing.

"How do you know this guy is here?" Sherriff Jenkins asked Hotch.

"We know that he lives back in Virginia so after taking her he wouldn't be able to go back home. These buildings are the perfect location. They are abandoned and far enough away from civilization he doesn't need to worry about sound."

Jenkins just nodded as they approached the first building. They entered it the same way Reid and Rossi had. Silently they checked the whole building coming to the same inevitable end. She wasn't here.

He pulled a knife from his pocket. He was giddy with excitement to see pain on her face. He pulled it towards her face and rolled it over in his hand, in her direct eyes sight. She flinched away from the sight, but was able to do nothing else. He brought it to her arm and pressed the point of the knife in breaking skin. He saw her flinch again, but she was still not crying. Anger filled him. He pulled the knife down, cutting her right arm.

Emily could feel her eyes water. She couldn't take the pain, but she refused to cry. She refused to give him that satisfaction. She bit her lip and could taste blood in her mouth. She could feel her chest tightening and tears rising. She used the last of her energy to keep them down. He brought the knife deeper into her arm, causing her to let out a cry as he cut her arm.

Bates smiled to himself. He tenderly caressed her face and then slapped her. He then stood up. He could let that do for now. Tears would come soon enough. He walked out of the room, leaving Emily alone. Alone with her fears of him returning. And the fears that she would live longer to endure the pain.

JJ and Morgan walked into the first building they had been directed to. JJ could feel her heart pounding in her throat. They needed to find Emily and they needed to now. She had a pretty good idea of what his plans were for her would be if they didn't. Morgan motioned to the first room and they entered it swiftly. There was nothing but a few beer bottles. They moved down the hallway and entered another room with the same contents. Suddenly they heard a sound. It was so faint that they nearly missed it. Then it came again, they could hear the faint sounds of someone moving around. JJ and Morgan looked at each other and moved down the hall together. The sound got louder and louder the farther they got down the hallway. They were soon met with a door, and they could tell the sounds were coming from the other side. Morgan nodded to JJ and she opened the door. Morgan ran in shouting, "FBI!"

JJ was right behind him. They ran in and Bate's was in the room. He was standing, knife in hand, beer in the other. Morgan held his gun level, "Bates." He shouted as confirmation.

"Yes?" Bates answered as if nothing was wrong.

"Drop the knife! Where is she?" He yelled.

"I don't know what you're talking about." He smiled, keeping the knife in his hand.

"Where is Emily?" Morgan yelled again. He could see JJ was moving across the room to the other side of Bates.

"Oh her? You'll never find her." He giggled.

"WHERE IS SHE YOU BASTARD?" Morgan yelled.

"With me." He said calmly, and then charged at Morgan with his knife.

JJ already had her gun leveled and took the shot hitting him in the stomach. His body stopped and he grabbed at his stomach. Even falling down the smile stayed on his face. Morgan and JJ ran up to his body.

"Where is she?" Morgan hissed leaning over his laying body, "You're going to die no matter what; the best thing you can do is tell me where Emily Prentiss is. I know you love her, this is how you can show that."

"But why would I do that when I can have her join me in death very soon?" Bates smiled and closed his eyes.

"Don't you die! Don't you dare die!" Morgan shouted grabbing his face and trying to wake him up, but it was no use. Bates was dead.

Morgan jumped up and pulled out his cell phone simultaneously. He dialed Hotch's number.

"We found Bates, he's dead. We still haven't found Emily." Morgan said while he and JJ moved through the building looking for any sight of their friend.

"We are on our way. I'll call Rossi and Reid." Hotch answered

Morgan hung up the phone. He could feel a sense of relief that Bate's was dead, even happiness. But right now he couldn't think of that. He needed to find Emily. He needed her to be okay, because she was his friend. And he could not lose a friend. Not like this. Not ever.

I hope it was worth the wait! The next chapter should be up probably tomorrow! Please review :D
