Team Dynamics-Ch 22
Reid blew out a deep breath as he stepped off the elevator, the secretary smiled and said, "what can I do for you Dr. Reid"?, he said, "I'm here to see Assistant Director Barnes". She picked up the phone and said, "mam, Dr. Reid is here", she then hung up the phone and said, "go right on in Dr. Reid".
He nodded his head and walked toward the door, Linda was all smiles as Reid walked into her office and shut the door, she crossed her legs and said, "what can I do for you today". Reid sat down and said, "I think it's what can I do for you today Mrs. Lewis, I mean Barnes", Linda swallowed hard and said, "how did you find", she bit down on her bottom lip and said, "Garcia, right"?, Reid said, "yes mam".
Linda said, "why are you really here, are you here to rub it in my face that you and your precious team killed my husband"?, Reid shook his head and said, "no, the reason I'm here is to help my team". She leaned forward and said, "their is no team any more, I took care of that", Reid said, "yes, yes you did".
Across town Emily, Matt and Luke pull up down the road from the building Barnes was seen walking out of, Emily said, "go in ready for anything because with her being Scratchs wife it's hard to tell what's waiting on us". The three agents slowly made their way toward the huge green building.
They stopped and Emily said, "I'll go in from the front, Luke you go in from the side and Matt you go in from the back", they nodded their heads as they headed off in their directions. It wasn't long before she heard them let her know they were ready, she took a deep breath and said, "on 3 and then she said, "1, 2 and 3" and they headed inside.
Emily wasn't very far inside before she heard two men talking, she listened as one said, "if this goes bad I ain't taking the fall for her, federal agent or not". Luke looked around a corner and saw two men standing in front of a door, he whispered, "I think I've found them, I have two very large men standing outside a door, they're definitely guarding something".
Matt got to him first and then about a minute later Emily said, "okay, how do you want to play this"?, Matt leaned in and said, "what if they do this" and started explaining his idea. Meanwhile at the BAU Reid said, "would you like to tell me why, why you are really doing this to my team, my family"?, Barnes leaned in and said, "because I can".
Reid sat back and said, "what are you going to do next"?, she sighed and said, "anything I want because I hold allllllll the cards and you my naïve agent have none" ". Reid laughed and said, "I wouldn't say that", Barnes said, "and what cards could you possibly hold"?, he grinned at her and sat there staring at her.
Across town Emily makes some noise and 1 of the two men goes to check on the noise, just as soon as he's out of sight Matt steps forward and says, "morning". The other man guarding the door says, "put your hands up", Matt said, "sure thing chief" and held up his hands, Matt said, "but what are you going to do about your other problem"?, the man smiled and said, "what problem"?, Matt laughed and said, "him" and as the man turned to see what he was talking about Luke knocked him out cold, Matt said, "niceeeeeee brother", Luke said, "right back at cha".
Emily walked back over and said, "alright let's see if we're right and the directors wife and kids are on the other side of this door, Luke nodded his head and said, "yes mam". He pushed the door open and they smiled when they saw the directors wife and twin sons alive and safe, Emily then pulled out her cell and sent a text to Reid.
Barnes said, "I asked you a question", Reid pulled his cell off of his belt and opened it to see the text, he then smiled and said, "I'm afraid you don't have any cards left to play". Barnes said, "and how do you figure that"?, he said, "because we have the directors wife and sons and they're safe".
She laughed and said, "no you don't", the smile that graced her lips quickly fell as Reid turned his cell around to reveal a picture of the directors wife and twin sons. Reid then said, "Linda Barnes Lewis, you are under arrest for the kidnappings of the directors wife and sons, tampering with evidence and assault".
Barnes looked up as Hotch and Dave walked into the room with several officers and they all grinned happily as they watched Linda Barnes get the cuffs slapped on her wrists and she was led out of the room.
