MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU!
I hope that all of you have a great day.
Hey guys, I'm really sorry for the long wait. Life has gotten busy with school, work, volunteering and working on getting my driver's license. I hope you can forgive me and enjoy the first update of today.
Also thank you for the new follows and favorites.
When the cars come to a stop the unsub's men open the doors and push the team inside of the warehouse the unsub has been using for the past five years. The team is still blind and they stumble as they're pushed forward. Every single one of them gets their hands lifted above their heads. Once the six of them are secured the bags are pulled off their heads.
The first thing they do is check if the others are unharmed. The room is mostly dark with a little glow off one small lightbulb that's turned on at the moment. They are standing in a 3/10 circle. What the team doesn't know is that the unsub chose this order with thought. First there's Morgan, the following is Hotch, than Rossi, Reid, Garcia and JJ. He kept the men and women apart so the men can be mentally tortured, because they're unable to reach them. That's also why there's more space between Reid and Garcia than between the others.
JJ is the first to notice that there's another pair of cuffs hanging from the ceiling at her right side. "Guys" she says getting their attention "look" the other five look up and follow JJ's gaze.
"This means that someone else will probably join us and considering how we're separated by gender, it'll most likely be a female" Reid says.
"Excellent guess, Dr. Reid" the unsub says as he turns towards them, "Although I'm afraid that you'll have to wait just a little longer to meet her. I'm going to inform her of this surprise which I composed for her and my guess is that she'll be thrilled. So my men and I are going to leave this room now. Two guards will be outside the door, if you need anything just let them know and maybe we can fix something. But you should be prepared to be ignored" he says with a smile before heading towards the door.
Once the door is closed, Garcia asks "Do you have any idea who he's talking about"
"My guess either Em, Tara or Black" JJ tells the others.
Hotch agrees, "I agree with you JJ, but I think that it's most likely Prentiss or they have gone through quite some trouble to knock out Tara and agent Black and still take them after all"
Morgan continues "Tara and Black were also not cuffed, but that doesn't say anything. This unsub is out of his mind, he's loving this"
"I agree, Morgan. He acts like the Rumpelstiltskin in the Enchanted Forest did in Once Upon a Time" Rossi says, feeling unnerved by how the unsub is acting.
Garcia is the first to come over the surprise of hearing that Rossi watches a fantasy drama and is even able to make a reference "Italian Stallion, I'm happy to hear that you also watch non-crime related shows, but I never tagged you to watch such a show"
"I started watching because Kai really likes the show and made references all the time. At first he explained them when I asked, but then he stopped and told me to watch it so I faithfully watched all episodes and I have to say that it was better than I expected" Rossi tries to defend himself.
Picking up on Rossi's tone Hotch replies "I watch it too, Jack loves it and frankly I like it too. I also happen to know that everyone else in this room watches it, so you don't need to be ashamed"
"His behaviour might actually work in our advantage" Reid states, after getting some confused looks of this teammates he continues "When everything goes according to plan all is good, but if we make sure that there will be disruptions in his plan he'll become unstable and start to make mistakes"
"You're right, Spence, but we'll have to make sure that we do that at the exact right time" JJ says and the room becomes silent. They're all submerged in their thoughts of how to get out of here and who will sadly enough be joining them.
I wrote this unsub before I ever watched Once Upon a Time and when I got into this unsub's mind-set again I realised that I saw some characteristics of the Rumpelstiltskin of the Enchanted Forest in him (that could just be me) and I just had to make a reference.
Hereby the first update of today
