The dark haired man stood at the convenience store counter awaiting his change when he noticed a dark brunette walk over to the counter and peruse the magazine rack.
His breath hitched when he noticed two police officers enter the store, passing by him.
"Come on, kid" the man said to the young clerk "My change?"
"Just a moment, sir." the young clerk said trying to crack open the roll of pennies.
The man noticed the brunette woman coming close to him while looking at one of the entertainment magazines.
"Excuse me" the woman said "May I...?"
"Sure," the man said as he stepped back and saw her small smile as she picked up the magazine.
"Thanks" the brunette said and moved over to the icee machine.
The man looked over annoyed at the young clerk who was counting out the change, and noticed the two cops come up behind him with coffee and donuts.
"Come on, kid" the man said "I'm growing a beard over here."
The young clerk looked up holding up the roll of pennies, "I could never figure out how the coins could get into these things..."
Cracking open the wrapper, the change falls on the floor, "There she blows..."
The man rolls his eyes, trying to keep his breathing even as the brunette placed the cold treat and magazines on the counter next to the man's.
"Are you in line?" the brunette asked the two policemen.
"You can go first." the dark skinned cop said flashing her a smile.
"Thanks" the pretty brunette said smiling back.
"Always." the dark policeman said.
"Flirt on your own time, kiddo." the older policeman said.
"Jealous?" the dark policeman teased his partner.
The dark haired man in front of them rolled his eyes, and nearly went pale when he heard the two officers police radio go off.
"All units code 411. A 2007 black Chevy sports utility vehicle, Virginia tags 4 Lincoln Thomas Boyd 596." said the female dispatcher.
The older policeman turned up his walkie talkie and looked out in the filling station of the convenience store, while the dark policeman looked over at the two customers, focusing in on the dark haired man.
"Repeat stolen vehicle, '07 Chevy SUV, black, 4 Lincoln Thomas Boyd, 596" the dispatcher said, "Any unit respond?"
The two policemen look closely at the dark SUV at the filling station then both turn their attention to the man at the counter.
"Look, pal" the dark haired man said "Just keep the change."
The two policemen come closer to the male customer.
"Excuse me?" the older policeman said "That wouldn't be your SUV would it?"
The dark haired man closed his eyes for a brief second but turned his attention to the policemen.
"Mine?" the dark haired man said "Oh no, no. I'm just out on foot. A little morning jog."
The dark cop looked a little suspicious but everyone turned their attention back to the young clerk who popped up with the coins.
"Here you go, sir" the clerk said "That's ten on number five, and your change sir."
"A jog, huh?" the dark cop scoffed.
The dark haired man rolled his eyes, hit the clerks hand causing the change to fly up and grabbed the brunette.
"Come here!" the dark haired man said.
"Ah" the brunette woman screamed.
The man pulled out a gun, "Don't do it, don't move." he yelled to the cops.
"Whoa, whoa" the older cop said, while the clerk hit the ground whimpering.
"Calm down" the dark cop said "Easy"
"Don't move or I'll blow a hole right through her." the dark haired man ordered.
"Oh my god" the woman cried out.
"Now let's not do anything stupid" the dark cop said.
"Oh my god, help me!" the woman called out.
"Shut up!" the man ordered.
"Come on, buddy. Let her go, we're just talking about a stolen car." the older cop said.
"Put the gun down." the older cop said "You do not want to make this worse for yourself."
"Things couldn't get any possibly worse," the man said.
The dark cop went for his gun, causing the dark haired man to turn his attention to him.
"Don't even think about it hero" the man said.
"Hey, hey" the dark cop said "Relax."
"I am relaxed" the man said "Ok now you join your partner over there."
The dark cop raised his hands and stood next to his older partner.
"Good" the dark haired man said "Hey you. Kid."
The young clerk popped his head up over the counter "Who me?"
"Yes you, you moron." the dark haired man said "Go grab their guns."
The clerk left the back of the counter, shaking as he walked to the cops.
"Just take it easy, you haven't done anything that can't be undone." the older cop said calmly.
"Come on, man" the dark cop said as the clerk went and grabbed their guns "Think about what you're doing."
"I won't go to jail for this?" the clerk asked the cops.
"No, you won't go to jail" the older cop said.
The clerk held out the guns to the man, as the woman was groaning in misery.
"Now, put down the gun and kick them over to me." the man said.
The clerk did but ended up kicking them down the bread aisle.
The man looked annoyed, as he glared at the young clerk "I said kick 'em over to me, kid."
The clerk raced down the aisle and kicked the guns over but ended up at the feet of the two cops.
The two cops bent over to get them, when the man said, "Hey, don't even think about it."
The man looked at the clerk and said, "Tell you what... pick up the damn guns and hand them to me."
The clerk raced over got the guns, with both hands shaking to give them to the man.
"By the barrels." the man added seeing the clerks shaking hands.
The young clerk looked nervous as he wandered over to the man holding an arm wrapped around the neck of the deep breathing brunette.
The clerk handed them to the man, who placed one in the front of the man's jeans, and the other in the back of part he went back to the cops.
"Good boy" the man said pulling the gun out "Ok now everybody on the floor."
"Oh God" the brunette said as the man and her headed for the door.
"You won't get away with this." the dark cop said.
"We don't know that." the man said.
The two policemen and the clerk got down on the floor, as the man took the brunette towards the door.
"Please don't kill me, I don't want to die." the brunette said.
"You won't if everybody does as their told." the man said "Remember I'm not fooling around here, faces against the floor."
"Ok, ok" the older cop said "We just don't want anyone to get hurt here."
"Now" the man said "If you want this lady to live, nobody moves until we're dust in the wind."
The man turned his attention to the brunette "Did you drive here?"
"Yes" the woman said.
"Good" the man said "Get out your keys. We're going for a little joyride. Now!"
The brunette pulled the keys out of her purse handing them to the man.
"Everyone enjoy the rest of your day." the man said pulling the woman out of the store.
"And now, that's how a kidnapping can happen." JJ said turning to the cadets "When in a hostage situation, it is always best to do as you're told."
"But what about the cops?" a young blonde female cadet asked "They're suppose to do as the kidnapper asks too?"
"If the unsub is armed" JJ said "Than yes. Keeping the casualties to a minimum down is always a good thing."
"Why don't we give a hand to our guests today." the FBI training coordinator said.
"Yes, please give a hand to Agents Hotchner, Prentiss, Morgan, Rossi and Dr. Reid." JJ said.
"Give me a hand up" Dave said "I'm too old to be on the floor."
Morgan chuckled as he got off the floor quickly and helped Dave up.
Reid blushed when he saw the young blonde cadet smile at him.
Emily and Hotch walked back in from the outside and where given big cheers as the unsub and the victim.
"Well if this FBI thing doesn't work out" Emily teased "You always got a future as a kidnapper."
Hotch chuckled as the JJ answered her phone "We got a case."
The young blonde watched as the BAU team left the Academy to head back to their building.
Plato said, "The most important part of education is proper training in the nursery."
