Chapter 6: DANGER

The team piled into the three SUV's. Hotch, Prentiss and Rossi in one, Blake and Morgan in the second and JJ, Reid and Mackenzie in the third.

Hotch, Prentiss and Rossi all took the location in the text as it was in the opposite direction of the location they traced as Blake, Morgan, JJ, Reid and Mackenzie took the traced location. All were heading to a dangerous situation. And not all of them were going to come out un-harmed.

Hotch, Prentiss and Rossi arrived at the location in just over twenty minutes. They were outside a small suburban house. There was nothing suspicious about it which worried the three agents. Something was off.

"Prentiss you go through the back with Rossi, and I'll take the front. Be careful. We don't know what's inside," Hotch said un-buckling his seat beat.

"Yes Hotch," Prentiss and Rossi said in unison as they both unbuckled themselves too.

The three got out of the car and carefully made their way up to the house. Hotch waited at the front door for a minute or so to let Rossi and Prentiss get into position and then pushed at the handle. The door opened easily already unlocked and Hotch did a quick sweep before stepping inside.

There was a loud click.

Hotch looked down to find that he had stepped onto a pressure plate which was most likely rigged to heavy explosives. He looked up to see Prentiss and Rossi come through a door quickly to a hallway. He put his hand up to stop them.

"Don't come any closer!" He said firmly. "I've set something off."

"What do you mean?" Prentiss asked.

"I've stepped on a pressure plate. I don't know where or how much explosives..." Hotch started but was cut off by a female voice.

"You're exactly right. You have no idea how much danger you and your friends are in."

They looked to the direction of the voice to find none other than Meaghan Doyle herself standing at the the top of the stairs to Hotch's right. Both Prentiss and Rossi swung round and pointed their guns at her.

"Don't move!" Prentiss yelled. "Put your hands where I can see them!"

Doyle gave a sly smile and chuckled slightly. "I really don't think you're in the position to do that. You're boss is on a pressure plate that rigs this whole house to C4 explosive. I myself have a trigger to set off said explosives. Are you really in a position to threaten me right now?"

Prentiss and Rossi lowered their weapons at a slight nod from Hotch who was trying to stay perfectly still. Hotch looked up at Doyle.

"What do you want?" He said.

"Nothing much really. Just revenge on you and your team for what you did to my brother."

"Then why don't you just blow us up now? Why don't you just get it over with?" Rossi asked.

"Because that would just be too easy on your team, wouldn't it?" She sneered. "I want to make you feel absolute desperation and hopelessness before I kill you all. Just like you did me when my brother's organisation crumbled when you killed him."

"Then why did you bring us here?" Prentiss asked angrily.

"I'm proving just how close I can get to you without you being able to do a thing about it. I control your team and no matter how hard you try you will not be able to stop me," Doyle said slyly."Now if you excuse me, I have some unfinished business to take care of."

Doyle started to walk down the stairs causing Prentiss and Rossi to point their guns at her but all she had to do was wave the trigger to the C4 explosive that the house was rigged to make them lower them. She pushed past both agents and exited the house through the back door leaving Hotch, Prentiss and Rossi alone with the explosives. Hotch looked up at the two people standing in front of him.

"Get the bomb squad here! Now!"

Blake, Morgan, Reid, JJ and Mackenzie all sped the opposite side of Charleston unaware of the situation Hotch, Prentiss and Rossi had found themselves in. They also had no idea what they were expecting to find themselves.

They arrived twenty minutes later to a rundown looking house in a secluded neighbourhood. The five agents piled out of the cars and gathered around Morgan who was the ranking agent of the group. He turned to Mackenzie.

"Evans you're the tactics expert, what do you think the best point of entry is?"

"Three go through the front and two through the back. From what I can see there are only two doors leading into the house. The UnSub's escape strategy is probably one of those doors although the ground floor windows are a likely route of escape as well," Mackenzie said. "I also advise to look out for booby traps such as pressure plates and trip wires. I also wouldn't rule of lasers. From these UnSubs MOs it's likely they have rigged the place with some form of explosive."

"That's what we'll do then. As Evans said, beware of booby traps. JJ and I will take the back, Evans, Blake and Reid will take the front. Knock first but if there is no answer kick the door down. Understood?"

They all nodded and Mackenzie, Blake and Reid walked up to the front. Mackenzie waited a few minutes and then knocked loudly and heavily on the door. There was no answer so she knocked again but this time shouted through the door.

"FBI, open up!"

Yet again there was no answer so Mackenzie relayed to Morgan she was kicking down the door. Blake and Reid took cover at either side and Mackenzie drew her gun pointed it at the door.

"Three... two... one," Mackenzie counted down. On one she kicked down the door.

All three agents walked through the broken door carefully and started a room to room sweep. They barely made it to the living room before several bangs rang out from the hallway.

"Shots fired," Reid yelled as they ran for cover.

He watched as Mackenzie made her way back to the living room door in a crouched position keeping her head low. She peeked her head round only to be met by the assailant firing at her and Mackenzie whipped straight back round again to avoid being hit.

"One assailant. Quite high up on the stairs and using a high calibre handgun," She whispered.

Reid and Blake nodded and Mackenzie made another go at peeking around the door. This time when she was meet with gun fire she fired back but got nowhere. She returned to cover and looked desperately at Reid and Blake and shook her head. Blake brought her mic to her mouth.

"Morgan we're pinned. We could use a little help."

"I'm trying to get through to you, one second."

About ten seconds later they all heard heavy footsteps as if someone was running and then Morgan's voice sounded down the hallway.

"Suspect fleeing."

They all darted for the front door to be met by a woman getting into a fast looking Ford with her back to them. She turned around and Mackenzie, being the last one to leave the house, staggered back slightly.

It was Shannon Larson.

Mackenzie somehow found the strength to carry on, ran to the car and pulled herself into the driver's seat of the SUV where JJ and Reid were all ready putting their seatbelts on. Mackenzie did the same while putting the car into drive, letting her advanced vehicle training kick in. She barely noticed JJ grabbing the radio of the dashboard.

"Suspect is in a Blue Ford Focus. We are in pursuit. Suspect has been confirmed to be Shannon Larson. Approach with caution."

By this point Mackenzie had already turned the car and was now in hot pursuit of Larson's car. Reid was in the back clinging to the handle above him as Mackenzie took sharp, fast turns. JJ reached over and turned on the sirens. They could hear Morgan and Blake close behind them and see Larson barely twenty feet in front of them.

Mackenzie made a sharp turn onto S Side Bridge and sped up slightly trying to keep the Ford in her sights. Suddenly a car in front of them swerved to avoid a manoeuvre employed by Larson. Mackenzie then consequently swerved to avoid hitting said car and crashed into the barriers at the side of the bridge.

The last thing JJ, Reid and Mackenzie saw before the air bags deployed was Morgan and Blake's SUV go over the side of bridge and into the Kanawha River.
