Thank you for all the new views, follows and favorites and a special thanks to LottyCharl for leaving a review.
"I'm looking for Agent Jareau" JJ hears a familiar voice say as the team is in the conference room.
They all hear Anderson ask "Can I see an ID?"
Hotch questions JJ "JJ, do you know who it is?" having seen JJ's reaction to the voice outside.
"I think I do" JJ answers.
Hotch says "Then go and relieve Anderson" and JJ goes to the bullpen.
"It's okay, Grant, I know her. Thanks" JJ thanks Anderson before turning her attention to Black.
"Hey JJ" Black greets.
"Hey, Kiera, how is the head?" JJ asks.
"Fine" Black answers, giving the standard answer used by about every law enforcement officer.
JJ asks Black hopefully "Do you have new information about Em?"
Black nods and tells JJ "I do, but it's easier to tell your whole team at the same time"
"Well let's go and relieve them and me" JJ say feeling a bit nervous.
"JJ, who is our female intriguing guest?" Garcia asks as soon as JJ and Black enter the conference room.
"Guys, this is Kiera Black. She has information for us about Em" JJ introduces Black.
Black continues "As JJ said, I'm Kiera Black. I have been working at Interpol for almost eight years and I have worked under Chief Prentiss for almost four years-"
"No offense, but how old are you?" Morgan asks, interrupting Black.
"I'm 27" Black answers, from the stories Emily had shared in the past four years she expected this reaction from Morgan.
"And you have been working at Interpol for eight years?" Morgan continues.
"Almost eight years, but, yes"
"Are you a genius or something?" Morgan asks as that is the first reason he can think of that would make it possible to start at Interpol at that age.
"I do have an IQ of 170, but that's not what this is about"
"Sorry, just curious. Please continue" Morgan apologizes.
"As you know Agent Prentiss was called back for an emergency. There had been some new discoveries and the higher ups decided to raid a place where some of the Unsubs helpers had been seen quite a few times. Since Agent Prentiss is very important at Interpol and had the lead on the case, it was required that she would be there. We went in with a SWAT team and Agent Prentiss and myself. We, together with six SWAT officers, took the back entrance and the rest of the SWAT team would take the other four entrances. Those other four entrances turned out to be a distraction. When the SWAT team leader had informed us the other teams couldn't go further and had to go out and come in again using the back entrance, hell broke loose. We had walked into a trap. Prentiss told the SWAT guys to get out and I stayed behind. The SWAT guys made it out, but as soon as the men we were up against knew that we were still inside they blocked the exit. We sought shelter behind some crates, but there were more men than bullets we had left and soon we had four men pointing guns in our face. Then the Unsub came towards us and he called us by our names. They hit me with a gun in the head and tied me up. When I regained consciousness, they hit me again, but the second time they didn't hit me hard enough to lose consciousness immediately. When Prentiss asked him what he wanted he said it's not what I want, but who I want, which leads me to believe that he has planned this. He raised his gun and shot her in the arm. That's all I remember and I guess that when I was out they took her away. The SWAT guys, however, didn't see anyone leave, but a secret tunnel was found with a GPR"
"Was it the man you're looking for?" Hotch asks.
"Absolutely" Black responds affirmatively.
"Do you have any leads on where she might be?" Reid asks.
Black shakes her head "Not yet. That is also part of the reason that I came here. Emily trusts this team more than any other team in the world and there's a big chance that we won't find her in time if this team isn't on the case. Will you help Interpol out on this case?" she asks.
"I think that I can speak for all of us when I say that we're in" Rossi says and everyone else nods.
"Wait, how do you know JJ?" Garcia asks.
"We first met when Interpol decided that Agent Prentiss's death had to be faked, for international security, they needed three people. One from Interpol, one from the State Department and one from your team" Black answers.
"Why did they choose you? If I'm correct, you had only been working for Interpol for two years at that time" Reid asks Black.
"Interpol hadn't appointed the case to an agent yet because there had been leaks during the Doyle case. They waited until the first five people were cleared and choose one of them. I was one of the first people cleared and they choose me. As for Emily's safety, I didn't meet her during the whole operation I did, however, have close contact with JJ during that time. The first time I saw Emily Prentiss in real life is when she came to London as the new Unit Chief and then after a bit of a rough start, we became good friends" Black explains.
"While we were all chatting I have done 'a thing' and now I have the footage of the SWAT. There were thirty SWAT officers, so there are thirty videos and there are also two audios" Garcia informs us
"Agent Black, what is your position going to be?" Hotch asks.
"I'll do whatever you need me to do" Black answers.
"We will split up into pairs of two. JJ and Black, Tara and Dave, Garcia and Reid and Morgan and I. JJ, Black, Tara and Dave, you'll divide fourteen of the videos and the two audios. The rest of us will divide the other sixteen videos. Unless we have something solid we will quit at 10 PM" Hotch says, while some protest sounds after hearing the end time, he ignores it and continues "We won't be able to help her if we're too tired and miss important details that could be the key to saving her"
When Emily wakes up her arm feels like it's on fire and like there's an elephant walking around in her head. What the hell happened? Okay, Clyde called me back, the raid and we walked into a trap, she sighs. She continues to gather her wits, Some of his goons incapacitated Kiera, I hope she's okay and not here. Emily raises her arm to her pounding head, only to be stopped by the pain that radiates from her arm when she moves it, the bastard shot me, she thinks as she can make out the hole in the upper arm with some difficulty.
A few minutes later someone enters the room, Emily immediately recognises him as the one who shot her. Now that he's walking into the room the lights in the room go on and Emily is able to get a better look at the room. It is rather big with, unsurprisingly, only one entrance. There are seven pairs of handcuffs hanging from the ceiling and there's nothing that could be used as a weapon, but why are there seven pairs of handcuffs and not just one, Emily wonders.
"Agent Prentiss" the man starts suddenly "Are you done observing the room?" he muses.
"What did you do to Agent Black?" Emily asks him instead of answering his question.
The man smiles briefly, liking the attitude Emily gives him and knowing that it'll be a challenge to break her. That challenge is one he's looking forward to, he tells her "Don't worry, she has already connected with your old BAU team" Emily smiles a little at hearing this.
A confused look goes over the man's face before he can stop it and he asks "Care to share why you are smiling?" previous experience learned him that most people cry when more people are mentioned and they beg him to leave their colleagues alone. Although, when he read through the files Ian Doyle left him, he knew Emily Prentiss is not most people.
"Just thinking about how they will kick your ass" Emily replies with satisfaction showing in her voice.
"Be careful what you think about" the men replies with a gleeful smile "I was going to wait with telling you this, but I'm going to get the rest of your team and if you will behave, I'll let someone bandage your arm"
"Leave them out of it" Emily says with a hard face and in a deadly calm voice that would have most people backing off, but not this man.
Instead, he tells her with a big smile on his face "But it will be so much more fun if they are here"
Emily decides to try and hurt his ego in the hope to stop him from going after the people she cares about and have him focus on her instead, "Do you really like attention and people yelling at you so much, that you're not going to hurt me without people here who know me. That's weak" she taunts and it looks like her plan is working she sees him tense up and he mutters something under his breath. Emily asks him "I'm sorry, I didn't quite hear you, but that shouldn't really matter, should it? I doubt it was intelligent"
"I'm going to give you one warning" he says with barely controlled anger in his voice
Not planning on stopping with her current strategy now it seems to be working, Emily continues to taunt "Why? because you're weak?"
"I warned you" the man yells as he charges at Emily.
The first hit knocks the breath out of her as he keeps raining punches on her body. To Emily's surprise he avoids her head and her arm, he merely focuses on her upper body. When Emily starts to go limp, he stops. He takes a step back and he notices her wedding ring "You know what, I'll do some digging and get your spouse here too" and he closes the door behind him with a gleeful smile on his face.
Just when the bitch starts to slip into unconsciousness I stop myself. I look at the damage I did and I'm satisfied that she won't forget this lesson anytime soon, she will learn sooner or later to not go against me. I made sure to avoid her head as not to take any chances to let her forget about this, although I doubt that with the pain she'll feel she'll forget this at all. I also avoided her arm since I don't want her to die, yet.
I walk out of the room Agent Prentiss is in and make my way to the main room where most of my man are, I order them "Tie her up in the special room. Since she misbehaved you can't bandage her arm. If her arm in bandaged when I come back, I'll kill all of you myself" I threaten them, this is my organization and I will not allow anyone to against my orders. I continue with what I need of them for the mission "I need ten men to help me gather the others. The rest of you will stay here and will watch her. Don't think for a moment that she can't get out of the cuffs, even in this condition" I say and I walk to the cars and ten of my men are following me. I look at my watch and we're still on schedule, it's 2:30 PM and we'll be in time to get the team. During the time I studied them, I noticed that there's only one real routine that they have with each other and that routine will be their downfall.
