Hey guys I am so sorry I haven't updated this in the last week! I'm back at school and it is unbelievably stressful! Never felt so tired after three days! I also wanted to say thank you! I have been receiving unbelievable support and I am so grateful! Each time someone comments or favourites or follows. I act like a child at Christmas. I love every single one of you! Here's the next chapter hope you like!
Ashley forced her eyes open. Her vision was still blurry but after a good few minutes she could see what was around her. Photographs and newspaper clippings covered the wall. There where photo's from Ashley's childhood, followed by her graduation photos. Then worst there where photo's of her teams. The one that hurt her the most was the photo of her and Reid at the coffee shop. Seeing his face on the wall made her heart race. She couldn't do anything about her family, but he didn't deserve to be on this sick shrine.
"Impressive isn't it Ashley. What's the saying 'No one morns the wicked' well I do. He's an inspiration. Did you know what he wanted the most? His little girl to visit him. Then he died, he hadn't seen you since he was in prison."
"He ruined me. I am scared constantly; I can't go on cases without being judged. There is only one team who didn't and I was taken away from them."
"Aww and I bet it will break their heart that you will be completely taken away from them. I promised your father I would bring his little girl to him. This is the last way."
-Reid passed the room. Garcia was busy trying to trace the car, but with no luck. Every time he passed the board he saw the crime scene pictures. Her captures face leering at him, telling him he would be too late. Well not this time. Clearing a board he used his memory to write down everything Ashley had told him. There was a chance the answer was here. Morgan walked in half an hour later and was shocked.
"This is impressive Reid."
"I need to find her and this is what I can do."
"Okay, we can narrow this down. We need a significant address."
"Well there is, the house she grew up in; but that is too obvious. Then there is the school she went too. There is no connection there. Wait I have an idea, the garage her father owned. Let's get Garcia to check that."
Reid smiled they had a chance if this was it they just had to get there in time.
-Ashley shivered as he walked closer to her. She knew he didn't torture his victims so she had little time. She needed to get him talking. But her brain went blank; she knew so little about the case. All she could think of was Spencer's pleading face. She should have listened to him. She had to stay alive for him. As he walked towards her she quickly spoke.
"He sent me letter's every day. I could never open them I always wanted to remember them as he had been. I still replied though I wrote letters then I was leave them in hotel rooms and park benches. I still loved him, it was just difficult really difficult."
"You did that? You still did care. That's perfect you can be together again!"
"You don't understand. He needs someone to share his good name."
"You don't mean that."
He walked away leaving Ashley thinking. A tear fell she did fell guilty, but he ruined her life and worst his victims looked like her. She felt like she was the reason they were dead. And yet no matter how hard she tried she still couldn't help love the person who did that. The only person she had ever told and who understood was Reid. Now she may never see him again. Her uncle walked back in a knife in his hand.
-Reid sat in the back of the car focusing on the word outside. HE didn't want to think about what might be waiting for him. Turning to look at his team JJ looked sick. The rest of the team had their serious faces on but they could see the pain underneath.
As they pulled up to the house Morgan and Hotch were first out and where knocking the door down before Reid was even out of the car. He ran after them following them through the garage. There was two rooms while Morgan and Hotch where in the first he and JJ ran forward. There she was in the corner of the room he head was hung over. But the sound of them entering the room caused her to look up. The terror in her eye's made him move forward. He was stopped by her captures voice.
"Another step and I kill her." He stepped out from the shadows next to Ashley.
"Sir listen to me. Ashley loved her dad. She turned to me when he died. I helped he morn. She wanted him back. But this isn't the way. Please you don't want her to die she means a lot to you. Just like he did, please let her go."
Reid watched as Hotch moved in behind him. He needed to keep him talking and that's what he had done. With one more movement Hotch pushed him to the floor and Reid ran forward to get Ashley.
"Hey Reid, you're a bit late." A small smile played across Ashley's face.
"Let's get you out of here sweetie."
Reid and Morgan help Ashley up and that's when Reid saw the large gash on her forehead. He moved the strand of hair covering it he looked straight into her eyes.
"Don't do that again Ashley." They headed back up to the ambulance waiting for Ashley.
"Promise me you'll come with me Reid. I need you."
"I'll always be here."
Hope you guys liked it, I wasn't sure how to do it so I apologise. Thanks for reading :D
