Calamity

Phone Call Pt. 2

"How much time left Reid?" Asks Hotch.

"One minute and forty nine seconds." He responds.

"Ok, y/n do you remember the plan?" Asks Hotch again.

"Yes. Ask questions about her location, don't talk about Spencer, and don't show any emotion." You respond.

"Good. Garcia will be recording the whole call. The only rule is I get to pull you out whenever I deem it necessary, ok?"

"Deal." You say with a nod. You take a deep breath and Spencer holds your hand. You can't stop staring at the phone.

"It will be ok." Whispers Spencer. "She can't hurt you. It's just a phone call, I'll be with you the whole time."

"Ok. Thank you." You say. You pull the phone closer to you and take one last deep breath. You've got this you tell yourself.

The phone rings.

You and everyone in the room freezes. You let it ring for a second until you pick up and talk.

"Hello?"

"It's me again." Answers Cat. "Is Spencie there now?"

"No he's not. Where are you right now?"

"Where is he? I have an important question for him."

"Ask me the question and I'll pass it along."

"No y/n, I need to talk to Spencer. Now tell me where he is so I know when to call again."

"Are you out of town? Are you staying with family or something?" You ask.

"Where I am is not important. What is important is that Spencer knows about my latest victim." She says. Everyone in the room looks around.

"Who is it Cat?" You ask.

"Nobody too important. Just a girl I picked up off of the street." She says. Hotch then mutes the phone and looks at you.

"Ask about the victim. Focus all of your questions on that." He says. You nod and unmute the microphone.

"So then it's a prostitute?" You ask. She laughs.

"Ok maybe I lied, it's not just some girl. She is pretty enough to be a hooker though." She says.

"Who is it?" You ask. She's silent and you wait for her to say something.

"Have you been to the art museum recently?" She asks. You're confused at the question. "I made a friend there recently. She's nice I guess... very sarcastic though."

You look around the room to see if anyone else knows who she's talking about. Everyone else looks just as confused.

Except for Emily.

Her eyes widen and she gasps. She whips her head towards you and looks into your eyes with fear and worry. Oh god.

She has Cecilia.

"Where is she Cat?" You ask immediately. She just laughs. "I'm not playing with you, tell me where she is now!"

"Let me talk to Spencer and maybe I'll give a hint." She says playfully. You mute the microphone and look up at Hotch.

"Hotch, you have to let her talk to Spencer. We need to find Cecilia." You say.

"I agree we can't let her hurt her." Says Emily. Hotch looks away to think.

"Ok fine, but you two need to get out." He says.

"What?!" You ask. There was a lot of attitude but you don't care at the moment.
