Sorry it's been such a long time since I updated but things have happened which i don't feel I can share with complete strangers. So, I apologise once more. Here's a chapter that I thought you might like. This story is gonna be kinda slow so don't be waiting around for it. Sorry, but the outside world come's first. Wow, never thought I'd say that.
"Hey Kid." Derek sighed staring at the screen. "I need to ask you a few questions, and I need you to answer them quickly and honestly."
"Ok." Riley looked up at the camera.
"Are you Riley Utting?"
"Yes..." Riley sounded confused and slightly sceptical.
"Do you know where you are?" Derek leaned in closer.
"Ummm. No, I've just been in this room." Riley shook his head. Derek noted that he wasn't as scared as he had expected. He seemed slightly relaxed in his new surroundings.
"Do you know who took you?"
"No, I haven't actually seen him. Just heard his voice." There was a sudden feedback from the large speakers next to the CCTV camera. Riley gripped his ears as the sound rang through his skull. Suddenly, the voice of the unsub emerged.
"Speak of the devil." It laughed manically. "Now, your challenge Riley."
"Woah," Derek stepped towards the screen. "No challenges, leave the kid alone." he snapped.
"Or what?" the voice yelled through it's speakers. "You are hear to advise only! You do not question my authority!" Derek shot a quick look at Hotch, they both had noticed how mad he had got when Derek tried to protect Riley. "Riley!" this caused the boy to jump up in fright. "You and Derek both kept a harrowing secret, dodging the truth always. And, if your going to be right for the team, you need to be able to dodge well." Riley gazed confused up at the camera as if to show Derek he really had no idea what was going on. "So, Riley, dodge this!"
Suddenly, out the silence, came a huge epiphany of sound. The huge crash reverberated around the room and it wasn't until the initial shock was gone, did Riley feel the pain. The blinding pain in his arm caused large black dots to dance across his vision. Being pushed back by the immense pressure of what ever hit him, Riley found himself grabbing his arm by instinct. But he found touching the affected area just made it hurt more, pulling away his hand he found it soaked in deep crimson blood. It was only then did he hear a voice over the long high struck note in his ears.
"KID! KID!? Are you ok?" Derek's voice screamed.
"Why? What happened?" Riley propped himself up against the wall.
"Through the latch in the door," Morgan tried to explain calmly. "Someone shot you, it looked like a revolver." Derek wanted to hit himself; why would he want to know what kind of gun it was?
"Really? Wow! My arm it hurts." Riley panted, suddenly feeling rather tired.
"It's ok, just ma..." Derek's comforting message was immediately cut short by another burst of sound. The bullet rushed through the air again and pierced through Riley's lower back furiously. Riley screamed out loudly the sound he made lined with undiluted pain and terror. Twisting his arm around to grab his lower back, Riley accidentally caused the already shot arm to rattle with pain again.
"It seems you couldn't dodge either of the attacks." the vicious voice sounded again. "But, I'll give you ponts for perseverance and resistance."
"You son of a..." Morgan began to shout but cut himself off. The other members of his team stood motionless and distraught but silent. They knew the cost of a single word, and they weren't going to risk anything.
"Well, I think it's safe to say that you've failed. And for that, someone else must suffer." the white smile tutted. Derek watched as the screen went black once more. As it faded back to the horrifying image of a simple evil mask, the team felt a new kind of hatred run through their veins. "Well, they had surprising results. Don't you think?"
"I'm going to kill you!" Morgan grunted.
"I honestly think Riley would be able to do it." the unsub completely ignored Derek. "If he dies of blood loss, it would be sad; I would like to let him have a another go. But for now, I think we should let someone else have a go." you could feel the thick tension in the room. " How about you JJ? And Anna King.
Review and have a nice day xx
