Hi guys :)

Thank you for your reviews and for the alerts. I know I have a side in me which simply loves cliffhangers and I realized that I ended every single chapter with one. Well, drama ahead and I´m sorry for not updating sooner, this is why this chapter was uploaded right after the last one. Anyway, I hope you like it

Xoxo

"Well, I would say we all head home, have a good night of sleep, except for Reid, who will probably stay here right?, Reid nodded in confirm, and tomorrow, we´ll find this guy." Rossi said to the team.

Everyone told Reid their goodbyes and best wishes to Anna and turned around to leave.

Suddenly, they heard Anna screaming from the top of her lungs for help and everyone sprinted inside the room…

Reid didn´t have the slightest idea about what had just happened, all he heard was Anna screaming and he moved on autopilot. His legs were bringing him automatically to Anna´s room, not caring about anything else than for her. His friend, all having heard the scream too, were following him, their guns already in their hands, to whatever was happening.

As Reid pushed open the door to his fiancée´s room, he saw a picture he had sworn himself he would never see again. Jeff Breakson was holding Anna with one arm around her neck, his hand holding a knife closely to Anna´s neck. The window to her room was broken, the pieces of glass lying on the floor.

"Ah I see, your little friends finally decided to join us darling" Breakson said with an evil grin, his grip tightening around the young woman´s neck.

"Take your hands off of her you bastard" Reid yelled at him, not caring about trying to remain calm.

"Mr. Breakson let her go, you have no chance. All our guns are pointed right at you … you are not getting out of here. Let Anna go" Hotch tried to get through to him, remaining calm for everyone´s sake.

"Ah you see Agent Hotchner, I have no interest in my own life anymore. I would have to go to jail either way, so before I do that, why shouldn´t I do what I wanted to do for more than two years. You see, Anna, you´ll always come back to me right. Even after I beat you, you came crawling back, isn´t that right love" he slowly slid the knife to her throat, just enough to break the skin to get it to bleed.

"Anna! … I swear I´ll kill you myself if you won´t let her go" Reid yelled at his fiancée´s ex.

"You … you want to kill me. As far as I saw it, you were the one who wasn´t able to protect Anna in the first place, weren´t you. You wanted to be her best friend, though you never realized anything around you. How could you not see her bruises? Aren´t you an agent from the FBI and yet you were too blind to see what has happened. Do you want to deny that?"

"Reid don´t listen to him, he wants to provoke you" Prentiss whispered to Reid as she was standing next to him.

"Breakson, just let her go. It doesn´t have to end that way and you know it." Rossi demanded.

"Ah agent Rossi, how nice of you to join in. Well, you see, I´ve been waiting for this day to happen for a long time. After all, there´s a reason I know all your names, right Agent Morgan, Agent Jareau and Agent Prentiss. I know everything about your and your friend´s life Dr. Reid. Did you actually think I had died on that bridge? How dumb are you really? And here I thought Anna, you wanted to marry a genius, how wrong I was" a laugh erupted from his throat causing Anna to squirm.

"Would you please stand still darling. We don´t want that blade to make contact with your beautiful neck right, at least not right now. Well, back to the story. Oh yeah, how come none ever noticed me. I´ve never stopped watching Anna, I just waited for the right moment to get you. Dr. Reid you´re really doing a bad job in protecting her, you´ve got to admit that. First you don´t see her bruises, then she nearly bleeds out in your apartment and now this. See, it would have been better for you to stay with me" Anna didn´t look at him, not for one second. Her eyes were only looking into Reid´s while the tears were making their way down her cheeks.

"One last time Breakson, let her go" Morgan told him.

"Ah see, that´s exactly what I can´t do. And we all now Anna likes that, she just acts as if she doesn´t, she always has…"

"You sick bastard, the only reason she didn´t leave you was because you threatened her family and you know that."

"Ah ah ah … Dr. Reid, you´re not really polite. You should watch your mouth or else, precious Anna will have to pay the price for you…"

That´s when something inside of Reid snapped. He simply wanted Anna safe, that´s all he was concerned about. The day he had found her in Las Vegas in her house, he had sworn to himself that from then on, he would always protect her from whatever may come. And he had broken that promise, when Breakson managed to get into their apartment and nearly killed Anna.

And again, Reid had sworn to himself that would never happen again. He had seen a lot of sick and gruesome things in his FBI career, but seeing someone he loved and cared about deeply, lying in her own pool of blood, slowly bleeding to death, was something that would haunt him forever. And he couldn´t risk losing her. This time, he would keep his promise, he would make sure the love of his life was safe.

The idea suddenly came up in his mind, while this time JJ tried to talk to Breakson, but he simply laughed it off.

"You know, for FBI-agents, all of you don´t really know what to do. You can´t shoot me, because she is standing right in front of me and you wouldn´t risk losing her. You know darling, it´s a shame that you´re going to die. If you had simply stayed with me, you would have been save. But you had to run away and now, you´re going to pay for that. I really thought I had taught you how to behave, seems as if I´ve been wrong."

"I always wondered where you were going on those two day trips, but I never feared that you wouldn´t come back. After all, you always did. I can´t believe you were stupid enough to build yourself a new life, when you know that you clearly belong to me and not to that so called genius over there. I´ve always been watching, every single step of yours in the last two years. You should have known better, but you ran anyway, even after all I´ve done for you"

Reid couldn´t be any more disgusted by that man and he didn´t know he could feel so much hate, but in that very moment, he did. How dare he tell her, that he had done anything for her, all he did was to abuse her and make her life miserable.

Suddenly, he spoke up "You don´t want to kill her. Let me take her place, you´re angry at me for taking her away from you. Let Anna go, kill me and you´ll get what you wanted, revenge."

"No … Spence … no" Anna whispered.

"Interesting offer but I think I´ll pass. I think I would rather kill her after all. I never wanted it to go that way Anna, why did you run. You always loved me and you always will" he said stepping a little to the side to be able to press the knife more to her neck.

"So Anna, why don´t you tell them how much you really love me" Breakson´s grin never leaving his face.

"I … never loved … you. All I could f-feel … for you was … hate" Anna told him and suddenly, everything was a blur, all they could hear and see was a body falling to the floor…
