The Road Less Traveled-Ch 4
A few hours later Hotch and the team headed back to the Greens farm, they parked out of sight so that their SUVs couldn't be seen and then they quietly headed back up toward the house. When they got in sight of the house Hotch said, "Reid, I want you, JJ and Emily to go check out the building on the left and me and Dave will get the one on the right".
Reid and the girls nodded their heads yes as they all pushed their ear wigs in before they continued up toward the buildings, when Reid got inside the building he said, "see I told you that Derek had been here". Emily said, "I can't believe it, they lied and the entire time Dereks SUV was right here and we had no idea whatsoever", Reid said, "so my question is where's Derek"?, Emily said, "good question Reid" as she whispered, "Aaron, Dereks SUV it's here".
Hotch said, "Dave and I found Morgans vest in this one", JJ said, "what do you think they've done with Morgan"?, Dave said, "knowing that boy I'd say he gave them the slip". Emily looked down and said, "guys check this out", Reid and JJ squatted down and Hotch said, "what is it Em"?, Reid said, "blood, it's blood Hotch".
Dave said, "we both know how strong Morgan is, he isn't gonna give up without a fight", JJ said, "I believe he's right because over here on the other side of the car is evidence of a fight". Hotch said, "until we get other information proving that he isn't, we're going to assume that Morgan is alive and well and out there somewhere waiting on us to find him".
Meanwhile inside the house Seth woke up the others and said, "I see a light coming from the buildings, we better check it out", the brothers get up and quickly get dressed, grab their guns and head outside to see what's going on. They decide that Thomas would go to one building and Seth and Zach would go check out the other to see where the light was coming from.
The brothers caught the team off guard and easily got them to lower their guns, Thomas led his captives to the other building to join his brothers and the other members of their team. Thomas said, "alright first thing we need to do is separate them", Zach said, "how about we put them in the cages while we go search for the other one"?, Thomas said, "good idea Zach" causing the younger brother to smile as they started leading the girls to the cages.
After only a few minutes the team were all in cages and put in separate areas of the huge building, Thomas said, "if you're lucky maybe just maybe we'll give you some food and water later". Hotch and the others looked on as the brothers turned around and headed toward the door but just as they stepped outside he turned around and said, "get some rest cause you're gonna need it" and the last thing the team heard was the laughter of the brothers as they headed back toward the house.
At Penelopes she had just checked Dereks temperature and blew out a deep breath as she saw his fever was finally coming down, she smiled down at the man sleeping and said, "sleep handsome and when you wake up maybe I can get some food in you". She walked over to the door and closed it half way before heading to the kitchen to prepare some soup for her ailing visitor.
