A few hours later, John was heading into the New York FBI headquarters with his new alias from the Machine. Thanks to the Machine he was now Lucio Davies, an Interpol agent who would be working with the BAU on the trafficking case under the guise that he was requested to by the Section Chief.

John took the elevator up to the BAU headquarters. He stepped out of the elevator and then walked up to the office of the Unit Chief. He knocked on the closed office door and then waited for a 'come in', which came only a few moments later.

'This should be fun to explain.' John thought as he walked into the BAU Unit Chief's office. He sat down at the desk across from Henri Aucoin.

"So Agent Davies, what brings you all the way from El Salvador?" Henri wondered

"I believe that the traffickers that you are looking for made a stop in El Salvador five years ago. My team and I believe that he took a handful of boys and girls back in El Salvador." John explained. He laid out some pictures of girls and boys that are missing, "Eight year old Ashlynn Diedricks, seven year old Dahlia Vensel, nine year old Xavier Zerbel, three year old Corina Faldyn, and five year old Isaiah Poppen."

Henri gave a nod as he looked at the pictures, "Okay. Well what do you know about the unsubs?"

"About as much as you." John replied

"Okay. Why don't you go get acquainted with the team."

John nodded, "Thank you, sir." He stood up and walked out of the office.

Meanwhile back at Harold's loft, Harold took the kids out for pizza, while Sameen and Samantha stayed behind to work on the bugs to put in Neil's phone and car. While they were working, Sameen got a panicked call from Coraline. Her location had been compromised. A man in a white van had been parked outside the safe house for almost two hours. Coraline thought that he was a security surveillance, but he's gone now and so are Eileen, five years old Zella and Charlie.

Sameen can tell from the woman's voice that she's terrified. She tells the woman to take a few breaths and that she and Samantha are on the way. Sameen drove so that Samantha could call John with the update. She dialed John's number and waited for an answer.

"Root, what's up?"

"Coraline called Sam frantically. Someone showed up outside the safe house in a van. The van is gone now and so are Eileen, Zella and Charlie." Samantha explained, "I think our perpetrators took them."

John sighed, "Perfect." His tone was sarcastic. "I'll share this information with the BAU unit chief and go check it out."

"Sam and I are heading over to the safe house right now."

"Okay. I'll let you know when I'm heading over so you can leave. Take as many kids back to Harold's as you can. We don't need these kids ending up in the system."

"Got it, John." Samantha agreed before hanging up.

At a secondary location with one of the unsubs and the three kids. He threw them into a room and locked the door before dialing a number.

"I got them. It's done." He said

"Good job." A voice came over the line

"What do I do now?"

"Just sit tight. I'm sending Pasquale over to meet you." The voice told him, "How are the kids?"

He looked over, "The little ones are occupied colouring. The older girl is unconscious."

"Tommy!"

"I had to, Freddie. She wouldn't come." Tommy explained

Tommy heard Freddie sigh, "Okay. Fine. Just don't move. Make sure she wakes up. We need her."

"I know that we need her, but we wouldn't have her if I didn't knock her out."

"I understand, Tom. Just watch her and the little ones like a hawk."


Sorry the chapter is so short.

Anyways. Hope you enjoy. Comments are greatly appreciated.

What would you like to see happen next?

What do you think that Tommy, Freddie and Pasquale want/need Eileen for?
