A/N – sorry I wanted to update with 2 chapters here, but I think a proper break is needed before the next chapter, and I'm debating whether adding some more detail to it that will happen between this one and the next one. Expect the next chapter in a few days.
CHAPTER 23.2
I tried to keep up with Emily's luxury sports car as it whipped around town. She seemed pretty occupied to realize she was being tailed, if she knew she wasn't making any rash movements to suggest it. I almost lost her twice but it wasn't long until she pulled up to one of the abandoned train depots on the edge of union station. There was enough activity around the area that I pulled and parked on the street further down from the driveway she turned on.
I quickly checked my glock and contemplated calling the precinct, but had to hurry if I was going to keep up with her. Something in the back of my mind was nagging at me, saying this may be something more than just spying on Emily, but I pushed it to the back of my thoughts and decided leaving the phone would be better in case something happened to the both of us, the team would always have something to piece things together.
Holstering my weapon for now, I jumped out of the SUV and pulled my coat tighter around me as I walked down street through some of the local business area. I slowly approached the drive and peeked in past the fences, not seeing anyone around, I jogged more quickly to the first corner where there used to be a guard gate and pulled out my firearm.
Following the perimeter for one of the less run down buildings, I came across Emily's car. I pulled at every door along the way, all of them seemed to be sealed shut. I was on the third wall perimeter of the building and I was approaching a door that seemed slightly ajar.
I glanced around, still no one in sight, there was a couple cars further down on the other side of the yard that looked out of place which I took note of. I peeked in cautiously before carefully slipping in.
There were a few large machinery pieces and a few boxes. There was more open space to my right, and there were a pile of items stacked to my left. There looked like there was scaffolding above the perimeter of the walls looking down to the center. On the far adjacent wall was an opening large enough for a train car to come in. I made my way to the left where there was more cover. As I turned the corner, the stacks of boxed ended for a few feet next to one of the doors that I passed outside. It was eerily quiet, but as I moved along I heard a murmur of voices. I headed towards them and as I got closer I realized that I didn't recognize either of them, one was a woman and the other was a man's voice.
I came close enough to the make out that they were not speaking English either. As I moved closer to get a view it became harder to find sufficient cover, if anyone came walking around I realized I would be in a really tight situation. For now I kept quiet and tried to keep aware of my surroundings as my mind finally wondered about Emily and where she was.
Looking more closely at the woman I recognized her, she was the woman Hotch presented earlier, it was Halina Sokolsky. Their conversation came to an end as the man looked at his watch. I heard a creak next to me, it was too late, by the time I turned toward the source of the sound there was a sudden sharp pain on the side of my head, my eyes blurred slightly, then there was darkness.
