Warning: Death and some coarse language.

The silence was just as deafening as the gunshot. Everything was still. The impact of what had just happened still sinking in for everyone. But that only lasted a few moments. A lady screamed at the top of her lungs as the blood poured out of the victim lying on the floor. Chaos instantly erupted in the room as all the hostages finally caught up on what had happened. The crimson red liquid continued to pour from the now dead lady that lay face down on the floor.

Morgan glanced over at Reid and saw the look of disgust that lingered on his face. The problem that Morgan had was that he couldn't tell if Reid was disgusted with the UnSubs or with himself. Whichever one it was the older Agent could already see that the genius was starting to shut down. He was losing his lover and that scared Derek more than the psycho holding the gun. Once Spencer shut down there was no telling if he would get his lover back. Derek wanted to reach out and touch his partner. He wanted to let him know that everything was going to be okay. Silent tears began to trail down the younger man's cheeks. That was when Morgan noticed the resolve that had settled onto his partner's face.

Spencer stepped forward and began to unbutton his dress shirt. Derek's breath caught in his throat as he watched the man he loved slowly undress for the sadistic bastard that was holding them captive. The phone began to ring just as the agent was getting ready step out of his pants. The UnSub held up his hand, silently commanding Spencer to pause his actions as he picked up the phone.

"Hello?" There was unintelligible chatter on the other side of the line.

"Aw, Agent Hotchner what can I do for you today?"

Something else was said and this time the words made the UnSub spin quickly on his heels and shoot another hostage. Spencer jumped in fear before he could stop himself. Derek felt bile rise in his throat at the senseless murder that had just occurred before his very eyes.

"Now Aaron. Threaten me again and another head will end up with a bullet hole in it! Now this is what I want. I don't want money; I have plenty of that waiting for me. What I want is a way out of here. And I want it in the next thirty minutes. So make it quick or more people will start to die. Starting with Agent Morgan!" With that he hung up the phone. He turned around and instantly his eyes were returned to Spencer's half naked form. The glint that appeared in his eyes had Derek afraid for Spencer. The UnSub slowly made his way over to Spencer, walking around the thin man like a predator waiting to strike.

Derek kept his eyes trained on the pair as he willed himself to not do anything to endanger himself or Spencer. That entire logic went out the window the moment that the UnSub moved closer to Reid, pressing his chest flush against the genius's naked back. Before he could stop himself from reacting Derek was moving towards the pair. There was a loud bang and then Derek was falling to his knees. Blood trickled through the hole in hi pants as he gritted his teeth to keep from yelling out. There was no way that he was going to give this son-of-a-bitch the satisfaction.

As the adrenaline began to wear off the pain intensified, "You fucking shot me you evil bastard!"

"No actually my lover shot you. If I remember correctly I told you not to move. But I can see how you could lose sight of your own well-being with such a fine piece of art outside of your reach. See there is something that you need to understand Agent Morgan and that is that the Doctor no longer belongs to you. He belongs to me, well for now he does. So if you want to live to see another day, you better fucking cooperate!"

Derek did as he was told, afraid that his actions would get someone else hurt or killed. Then things started to progress before he even knew what was happening. The phone was ringing and then there was chatter as he was forcibly helped to his feet. He swayed from the blood lose but managed to stay upright. 'Hotch I hope that you know what the hell you are doing,' was Derek's thought as the UnSub and his partner started moving toward the door and barking orders. He was brought out of his thoughts when a gun was pressed firmly against the back of his head. When the man holding the gun told him to open the door he didn't ask any questions. The last thing he saw was Spencer being ushered into the car before he heard the psycho speak to him.

"Sorry about this Agent Morgan." Then a gun went off and suddenly he was falling into an abyss of darkness.

When Derek came to he found himself in the hospital. He looked around as all his senses slowly came back to him. He went to sit up and was instantly knocked back down by a massive jolt of pain. He released a shaky breath as he attempted to regain his composure. Then he noticed what was unusual about the scene before him. No one from the team was there. More importantly, Spencer wasn't there. Derek buzzed for a nurse and was so anxious when she arrived that he started barking questions at her. It wasn't until he heard the voice of his Unit Chief that he actually noticed that the older frail lady that had come to his aide was frightened. He felt like crap for it but he needed answers…he needed Spencer.

"Morgan, calm down. The team is here." The command was quiet yet stern and immediately Morgan was on edge.

"Hotch what happened?" Morgan tried to sit up again and was pushed back down when Garcia bustled into the room.

"No you don't"

"Baby G-"

"Don't you dare Baby Girl me Derek Morgan!" Derek knew when not to push Garcia and this was one of those times. The rest of the team filed in and when Spencer didn't enter Derek felt a bad feeling settle into the pit of his stomach.

"Where is Spencer? Is he in a room? What did his doctor say?"

"Derek you were shot twice and collapsed at the scene. The doctor says that you will be okay but you did lose a lot of blood. They had to do a transfusion. I'm giving you a few weeks off-"

"Hotch, where is Spencer?" Derek was getting desperate for an answer.

"-to get yourself together. I don't want to see you-"

Morgan questioned again, "Where is Spencer?"

But Hotch kept going like he hadn't heard Derek, "-in the office until you are healed and functioning properly."

"Dammit Hotch! WHERE THE HELL IS SPENCER!" The entire team looked shocked as they stared at Derek like he had three heads. Derek knew that his behavior was uncalled for but he was tired of worrying and no one giving him answers. He knew something was wrong…he could feel it. But he needed to hear it.

"Derek-"

"Hotch unless you are going to tell me where Spencer is I don't want to hear it. All I really want is my Pretty Boy."

"Derek, the UnSub got away." Hotch's face was blank as he waited for Derek to respond.

"Okay, but what does that have to do with Spencer." Then it clicked. "Oh no. Are you saying t-that Spencer…" Morgan couldn't finish the statement so Hotch completed it for him.

"Yes, Morgan. The UnSub escaped…with Reid."
