IMPOSSIBLE, s. reid

twenty-one

Sophia thinks for a moment, before shrugging, "Aren't you the profiler?"

He chuckles, "Aren't you one too?" He pauses, biting his inner cheek, "I want to hear it from you. I don't want to go off some assumptions."

She breaks eye contact, before looking back up at him, "I guess, it's because I feel like everybody else is more important than me." Spencer is about to speak, but Sophia continues her sentence, "It's always been like that though. Nothing new."

"You're so important. You're so important to me, to Emily, to Penelope, to Derek, to Rossi, to Hotch, to JJ.. all of us love you more than we can express and we've only known you for a few months," He too breaks the eye contact for a moment, "You can make sure everybody is doing well, and still put yourself first."

"Spencer."

"Hm?"

"Can we watch this movie before I start crying?" She laughs a little, he brings back his eye contact.

He smiles, "Of course," He kisses her forehead and unpauses the movie.

HOTCH'S PLACE

Aaron gets back to his house. JJ and Henry are still there.

"What'd you get?" JJ asks.

"She was picked up about thirty minutes ago. I had Garcia put an APB for a young woman in a white Chevy Malibu."

JJ nods. Jack comes running in with a lego dragon he built.

"Wow, buddy! That's so cool!" Hotch says, smiling.

Shortly after Hotch speaks, Henry walks out of Jack's room with a some what distorted monster looking drawing. He shows his mom.

"Wow! That's so good!" JJ assures him.

Jack lifts a hand off of his lego dragon to scratch his face, but it fell. Breaking into a bunch of pieces.

Hotchner's kid starts to whine, upset that he just lost his progress. He'd been working on it for a few days.

"Hey hey, stop whining, it's okay," Hotch tells him, "I'll help you make a new one tomorrow, Ok?"

Jack nods, he calms down his whining, "Okay."

THREE DAYS LATER, 4:48 PM

By now, the entire team knows that Addie is missing. Somehow, Strauss hasn't found out.

The chances of finding Addie alive are low, but Hotch still has a little sliver of hope. If she doesn't make it, he has absolutely no idea on how to tell Sean. Hell, he doesn't even know she's missing right now.

Morgan is in front of the group. He kicks the door in, the door of the house that they're at. They got a lead, a strong one. They're almost a hundred-percent sure that this is where Addie's being kept.

They move inside. The loud bang of the door being kicked in, definitely caught the homeowners attention.

The woman on the couch, who fits the description, gets startled and looks at the seven agents standing in her house right now.

Emily and Sophia move toward the woman, lowering their guns. One of them, pulls out cuffs and the other grabs the woman's arm, pulling her up off the couch.

"Nicolette Dentri, you're under arrest for the kidnapping of Addison Hotchner." Emily says, and the cuffs are put on the blonde woman.

"What? I didn't kidnap anybody!" She yells in both Sophia and Emily's faces.

Reid, Hotch, Morgan, and JJ start searching the house.

Rossi goes over to Emily and Sophia. The woman starts to flail around, kicking and yelling. Just pretty much making the situation worse for herself.

Soon enough, they walk out of the house with her.

"Guys," Reid hollers from the other side of the house that the others are on, "I think I got something." He places his hand on a door handle.

The others hurry over, Hotch in front of everybody, Reid opens the door, revealing a set of stairs.

It's a basement.

"Addie?" Hotch calls out, holding out his gun and walking down the stairs carefully.

There is no response, worrying him and the others.

"Reid, call for an ambulance." Morgan tells him. Reid nods and does what he's told. He steps back behind everyone and calls for one.

Hotch gets down into the basement, there she is. He hurries next to her. She's tied up in a chair, passed out.

He checks her pulse, it's there, but it's weak.

"Call an ambulance!" He tells the others.

"Reid's doing that right now." JJ says, finally making it down there.

JJ watched Hotch and Addie. Hotch has pulled her into a hug.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He repeats quietly.

Addie opens her eyes, noticing herself in her uncle's arms. She hugs him back.

He lets out a sigh of relief and hugs her tighter, "We've got an ambulance on the way." He tells her.

HOSPITAL 7:04 PM

Addie lies on the hospital bed, Hotch sitting in a chair up against the wall.

The room is silent, Addie is sleeping, and Hotch is probably sleeping too. His head is leaned back on the wall and his eyes are shut.

Someone comes into the room, and they sit in another chair which is on the other side of the room.

Hotch hears the sound of a chair moving around so he opens his eyes, seeing someone sitting in a chair.

"Sean?" Hotch rubs his eyes, Sean looks at him, he looks extremely upset.

"How could you let this happen and not even tell me? THREE days, Aaron. THREE. Do you know how much can happen in three days?"

Hotch stares at him, his mouth agape.

"Yeah see, you know i'm right." Sean says.

"Aren't you her father? Her legal guardian? The one who's supposed to care for her?"

SPENCER'S APARTMENT 11:11 PM

"Addie's gonna be ok." Spencer says, walking up to Sophia.

"Yeah, I know." She looks up at him.

She hugs him, he hugs her back. They stand there, in the middle of the kitchen, with the lights off.

Music starts playing.

"What are you doing?" He asks quietly.

"Shh, just hug me." She responds, closing her eyes.

'Apocalypse - Cigarettes After Sex'

Is the song that plays. It's quiet, all that's heard is the song.
