a/n- I know this is a romantic story, but it wouldn't be Criminal Minds without some psychopaths! There won't be anything graphic, I promise. Sorry this took so long. Been battling writer's block and I had everything planned out for it but other twists of the story came in ( idk how the writers of the show do it, but then again there is about ,what maybe 5 or 6 of them... ) Anyways I think my writers block was because I've been off of school and my brain doesn't want to write. And thanks for the reviews,faves and follows! Keep them coming! They keep me motivated!


All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.-Ralph Waldo Emerson


Hotch and Prentiss got out of the car and slammed their doors shut. They walked over to the police officers that had gotten there before them. Officer Larken was talking to a young man, no older than twenty-three. Hotch and Prentiss waited for Officer Larken to finish what he was saying, the officer then turned to the Agents and said, "This is Sarah's boyfriend, Dan. He was with her at the club when Sarah went to the bathroom,and she never returned."

"Like what happened to Amber," Prentiss whispered to Hotch. Hotch nodded. "This is the same club one of the other girls went missing from." Prentiss stated. Prentiss followed Hotch as he walked over the owner of the club.

"I'm agent Hotchner,this is agent prentiss." Hotchner informed as he gestured to Emily. "We have a few questions for you about your employees."

"Alright," The club owner said slowly in a thick Texan drawl.

"Are there any of your staff members that are impatient? Or have a trouble with their temper?" Prentiss asked.

The owner thought for a moment then said, "Well, one of our employees brother does. He is always on edge,he's been passed around from family to family,poor kid. Tyler's family just adopted him about a year ago. His two other brothers were adopted as well. They all share a close bond though, as if they were blood."

"Do you know why his one brother could never find one family that would take him?" Hotch asked.

The club owner shook his head, "Probably because of his temper."

Prentiss excused herself as she walked over to Dan. "Hi Dan, I'm agent Prentiss, I wanted to ask you a few questions." Emily paused to see if he would say he wasn't ready for questions. But he didn't protest, so she continued. "So you and Sarah were out with friends,"
Dan nodded, "Yes."

"Did Sarah start to act weird? Like she was sick or dizzy?"

Dan nodded again, "Yeah, she went to the bathroom after that…"

"Who came over to the table and brought you the drinks?"

"Some guy, he had brown hair, about 5'6 maybe…" Dan answered.

"Did you see a name tag?" Prentiss asked.

"Yeah, I think his name was Taylor….maybe Tyler?"

Prentiss nodded, "Thank you Dan for your cooperation. If you remember anything else, please don't hesitate to call." Prentiss said as she gave him one of her cards. Prentiss turned on her heels and started to walk over to Hotch.

"Agent Prentiss?" Dan said. Emily turned around to face the young boy. "Please find her. Please."

Emily pursed her lips as she walked back over to him, "We are doing everything we can. Trust me. We are great at what we do and we are getting closer. We will find her, and bring her home."

Dan pursed his lips together, his eyes swelling with tears, "Thank you," he choked out.

Prentiss laid a gentle hand on his shoulder, and quickly smiled at him before turning back around and walking over to Hotch, he was waiting near the car. "So Dan said that Tyler was their waiter."

"So they must be taking the girls from their jobs, but taking them when they are in groups," Hotch said once they got in the car.

"When we get back to P.D we have to call Garcia and see if she has anymore information on Matt."

Back at the local P.D, Spencer was standing in front of a map of the county. The four abduction sites made a square, so where they lived had to be somewhere around there. But even if they found their house in that radius, Spencer doubted that's where they would be at. Just then, Amber's parents came busting through the police department. Spencer quickly walked over to them.

"You," Ed said as he pointed to Spencer. "You son of a bitch! You got my daughter kidnaped!" Ed yelled. Spencer could have sworn he saw steam coming off of his head.

JJ quickly appeared. "Please, Mr…" JJ trailed off, realizing she didn't even know Amber's last name.

"Call me Ed," he grumbled.

"Ed, please come with me and we can talk this out in private." JJ said sweetly as she gestured to the conference room, Ed and Kim started to walk to the conference room, JJ and Reid right behind them. Ed and Kim sat down, and Reid shut the door behind him.

"I'm JJ, by the way." JJ introduced herself.

"Hi," Kim said.
"Look, I know it seems like it's easy to blame Spencer for this, but it won't help us find Amber any faster."

"Are you the JJ that is with the FBI?" Kim asked.

"Yes," JJ said.

"Amber has told me a lot about you," Kim said, " she said you were pretty and very nice. She told me, and don't tell her I said this, but she said when she first met you she was very jealous of you."

"Really?" JJ asked.

Kim nodded. "Oh yes, she told me that if Spencer wasn't with you, what made him interested in her."

Spencer sat down next to Kim, "I love Amber, you guys know that, I….I'm kicking myself for letting her get taken from me. I am dying not knowing where she is….or if she's okay. But she's a strong girl, and I know she will make it through this."

Ed sighed, "You're right, blaming you won't bring her back here any faster."Just then JJ's phone rang, it was Garcia, she excused herself and walked out of the room. "But if you hadn't dragged her down here with you she would have been with us."

Spencer got up out of his seat, walked to the other side of the table and took a seat across from the both of them. "Look, I know you may think I'm just some guy dating your daughter to get in her pants,but I'm not. We aren't even anywhere near that, I respect her too much. I care about her, I am lucky to have her and she...she means the world to me. We are going to find her, and put the people away that took her."

JJ stepped out of the room and put the phone to her ear. She heard Garcia talking right way. "JJ,Hotch, and Prentiss. Okay here is what I found, Matt's real last name is the same as Tyler's, but he used his biological father's last name because he didn't want to be adopted, because let's face it what kid does. Matt's biological father had to give up Matt when his mom died because his father was too depressed, he developed clinical depression and had to be admitted into a hospital. The three other boys, Tyler, Ian and Jake have all had their crimes. Petty theft, vandalism, but once they get older, all of them including Matt got charged for the same thing."

"Wait, they all got charged for the same thing? But Matt wasn't adopted until last year…"Prentiss asked.

"Yes but all of them still went to the same high school and now college."

"So they all knew each other already, Matt's presence has made them all bond and now they think of this as a way to do so, on a higher level." JJ said.

"They get enjoyment out of it."

"All of them have been charged for voyeurism. Peeping in on their babysitter. The boys had the same baby sitter because they would be over Tyler's house anyway, when they grew up and didn't need one anymore, they would go to her house and peep in on her….oh no."

"What Garcia?" JJ asked.

"Their babysitter, Adriana, has brown hair and brown eyes. She looks like all of the girls they have been kidnapping…"

"They have escalated to torture."

"But why would each one of them take a girl? Why not take their own?" Prentiss asked.

"Each has their own version of what she looked like...or how they perceived her?"

"More bad news, Adriana died, exactly two weeks ago, she died in car crash," Garcia said.

"Well that's what triggered them, they took these women because they reminded them of Adriana," Hotch said.

"Hotch, did you and Prentiss figure out how they are connected?"

"Yeah, we will tell the team when we get back, we are on our way now," Prentiss answered.

"Garcia," Hotch said.

"Yes sir," Garcia said in all seriousness.

"Keep looking into their past to see if we can figure out anything else,"

"I still have a lot of digging to do! Ta and Ta!" Garcia said and with that the line went dead.

Hotch and Prentiss entered the police station, Morgan and Rossi almost right behind them. "Did you guys find anything at the other crime scenes?"

The two of them shook their heads. "Nope, and we tried to get the owners of the diner and cafe to talk to us but they refused to talk to us."

Amber could feel her stomach growling, her body was stiff and her muscles were aching, yelling to be used. Amber could hear the footsteps coming down the concrete floor. It was Matt. He had a smirk on his face. "Well,well, good afternoon," he said as he walked over to Amber. He kneeled down next to her and brushed her hair out of her face. Amber glared up at him, she wasn't happy; being stuck down there, not knowing what was going on with them, what they were doing when they left.

"Why are we here?" Amber asked.

Matt laughed. "Oh, don't worry you will find that out soon,"

"They are going to find you, you know that right?"

Matt's eyes narrowed, "What?"

Amber threw her head back in a laugh. "You really think that after the last four girls you guys killed, that the FBI isn't after you?"

"How, how could they be when those four girls were killed in four different ways," Matt argued.

"It doesn't matter, Matt. You stole something of theirs….me."

Matt couldn't help but laugh, "That wimpy ass boyfriend of your's is in the FBI,why do I find that so damn hard to believe?"

Amber straightened up. "Fine, don't believe me," she said as she watched Matt, he stood up walked to the other side of the room and started to pace. Matt paced for a while then all of a sudden darted up the stairs, leaving Amber and Sarah.

"Wait!" Sarah screamed. The door slammed and she started to sob.

"Don't worry we will get out of here before they do anything to us." Amber said.

"You don't know that ..."

"Yes I do, they won't try to...kill us... until they have all four of us."

Amber's parents were sitting in the police department with Spencer.

"If they are impatient they might kill Amber," Prentiss blurted out, as she stood there looking in on Amber's parents through the glass as if she were at the zoo. She watched as Spencer tried to comfort them.

"They might not if they don't have all four girls," Morgan said.

"It might not matter to Matt," Prentiss sighed, as she turned to face the rest of the room. "We found that they like to take girls that are in a group,"

"Makes it easier, if one goes to the bathroom no one gives it a second thought." Rossi said.

"Garcia filled us in on Matt and his brothers..." Rossi began but got cut off. A police officer poked his head in the door.

"The parents are here," the police officer informed the team.

"Thank you," Morgan said as he walked out of the meeting room and into the rest of the department. The officer showed Morgan to an interrogation room where Tyler's parents were. Morgan thanked the officer and closed the door behind him. Morgan sat down across the two parents. "Mister and Misses Andrews, thank you for coming in."

"Anytime," Mr. Andrews said.

Morgan folded his hands on the table and said, " Have you seen any of your sons in the past few days?"

Mrs. Andrews thought for a moment and shook her head, "No, we haven't seen them in a month. They live on their own now."

"Did they act any different around the two of you the last time you saw them?" Morgan asked.

"No, they didn't," Mr. Andrews answered, sounding a little annoyed.

Outside the door, down the hall and back into the meeting room, Spencer was looking at the map again, Well I might as well try to see where they live. He thought as he reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. The line rang, then Garcia picked up.

"Talk nerdy to me," Garcia whispered in a sexy tone.

Spencer rolled his eyes, "Garcia, can you please be serious for one minute," Spencer quipped.

"Alright, I'll try." Garia mumbled. "What did you need?"

"I wanted to see where the Andrews boys live…"

"They live on….1560 Levington Lane," Garcia said.

Spencer looked at the map for the street, they were exactly in the middle of the kill zones. "They must have planned this out,"

"What?" Garcia said.

"They planned out where they lived to have the highest rate of clubs, restaurants, diners and cafes near them. More of those meant more women to take. Garcia can you find the other places they applied to?"

Garcia started typing away, " They applied to at least twenty other places. All clubs, restaurants, cafes and diners near their house."

Spencer walked over to the window and watched Amber's parents as they sat near each other, comforting each other. Spencer sighed as bit his bottom lip. "Maybe Hotch and Morgan will check out their house, see if anything is there."

After obtaining a search warrant, Hotch and Morgan headed to the brothers house. Hotch and Morgan stepped out of the car, slammed the doors shut, had their guns drawn and crouched down as they swiftly headed to the front door.

Morgan banged his fist a few times on the door, "FBI." He said very loud and clear. After a few moments of silence, Morgan took a step back and broke in the door with his foot near the door knob. "FBI." Morgan shouted again as he and Hotchner entered the house. The two of them searched the house.

"Morgan, did you find them?" Hotch yelled up the steps.

"No, but you might want to see this," Morgan yelled back.

Hotch put his gun back in his holster and went up stairs. Hotch found Morgan in the second bedroom from the stairs. Hotch entered the room and saw that Morgan was holding up stacks and stacks of pictures. He was looking through them and the two agents realized that they had found what they needed, now they just needed to find the boys.

Once Morgan and Hotch got back to the local P.D, Spencer walked through the door of the interrogation room that the Andrews where in. Spencer shut the door behind, he had a folder in his hand and a serious look plastered on his face. He pulled out a chair and sat down across from them.

" I'm Doctor Reid," He said. He paused for a moment,trying to figure out how to word his next sentence. "Your sons are the main suspects in four murders, they have kidnapped two girls and we know that in the next day or so, they will take two more girls hostage. They haven't been to work in the past two days. Neighbors haven't seen them in over a week or so. We searched their house and found these," Spencer explained as he opened the folder and started to lay out the pictures. They were all pictures of Adriana throughout the years, many of which were taken without her knowledge.

Mr. Andrews shook his head in doubt, "No...no...it can't be them,"

"We need to know where your sons are."

" If they aren't at their house, we don't know where they are."

Spencer leaned back in his chair. He then Pushed out his chair from the table, Stood up and walked out of the room. He quickly walked back to the meeting room and got Garcia On the phone.

" Garcia, is Mr. Andrews sending his sons any cash? Or does he have another house in his name." Spencer quickly asked.

" hmm , I'm not Seeing anything... "

" Can you check to see if Matt's dad has been sending him money or anything that shows he was still keeping in touch?"

Garcia started typing away, bringing up files and paper trails of the father. "Oh, you Dr Reid, are a genius. Turns out Dan Morris had been sending him money."

"Why would he be sending him money..."

"I don't know junior g-man. That's for you to figure out. I can give you Dan Morris' address,"

"Great, send it to Rossi and Hotch,Spencer said as he hung up the phone. Hotch and Rossi walked out of the room and headed to Dan Morris' house.

"I'm so tired," Sarah sighed.

"Me too, but we have to stay awake," Amber said, just then they heard footsteps and became quiet.

Matt walked over to the two of them, Amber could smell Vodka on his breath.

" You...must be starving..." he whispered as he started to unzip his pants.

Ian walked into the room and pulled on his brother's upper arm, moving him away from the girls. "What are you doing, not until we have all four."

Matt leaned into his brother and said, "come on, just a quick ride...a quick blow..."

Ian shook his head. "No dude," he said as he turned to walk away, but he stopped and turned around to make sure Matt didn't do anything.

Matt turned to Amber, " she wants it, I can see it in her eyes." Matt walked back over to Amber and knelled down next to her

Amber gathered all of her saliva and spit on him,"you're an ass." She said.

Just then Matt's hand met her face in a slap. "You're a fucking bitch," Matt growled. Amber's face was burning and her blood was boiling. " Let's go get the next girl," Matt announced. " the earlier we get two more the earlier I get to shut this bitch up," Matt stood up and met Ian next to the stairs.

Amber could feel warm blood trickling down her nose. "Fuck,"she said out loud. Amber looked over at Sarah and she was very still, she didn't really look like she was breathing either. "Sarah...Sarah, come on we have to stay awake."

Sarah's eyes fluttered open. " I can't."

"Yes you can. We are going to get out of here soon. But you have to stay awake. They might try to hurt us if we are asleep." Amber said as she shifted her weight. Her body was becoming numb, her wrists were starting to bleed from the handcuffs chafing her skin, and her stomach continued to growl. Come on Spencer, Amber thought as she sat there. Please….I need to see you. Amber was trying to be strong, for her sake and Sarah's sake, but she couldn't take it anymore. And she began to sob, tears forming in her eyes and where streaming down her face.
