Federal Love

Chapter 37- Missing

I can feel it. Something is wrong here. I know it. The phone went to voicemail for a third time and it confirmed my theory. Something is definitely wrong. I put away my phone and hopped in the car. Spencer got in before I could drive off. When his door closed I hit the gas and swiftly pulled out of the driveway. Spencer barely had his seatbelt on before I was on my way to go after Morgan.

"Liv calm down. You're going to crash if you don't slow down." Spencer said as he was holding on for dear life.

"Something is wrong. I know something is wrong." I said as I took a sharp turn. I could see that Spencer's knuckles were white from how hard he was holding onto the safety handle.

"I'm sure that there is a reasonable answer for this so please calm down." He said as he worriedly watched the road in front of him.

"Don't tell me to calm down when Morgan is alone out there in the biggest house that has multiple places to hide in and it's literally in the middle of nowhere." I said as I glanced at my boyfriend. "I know something is wrong. He always answers his phone and he isn't answering. For fuck sake he's the one being majorly targeted right now! Who's idea was it for him to go alone? He should've been with Hotch or me. Hell even Emily would've sufficed!" I said, clearly heated.

"Baby, I understand what you're thinking, but you need to calm down. For our safety, because frankly you're driving like a maniac and the lights aren't even on." He said to me. I switched them on and continued to drive. I was wondering why these idiots weren't moving out of my way. I continued to drive how I was, despite my passenger's comments. "Seriously Olivia! Drive like a little safer! You almost hit that person!" He said in desperation.

"Spencer the next words that comes out of your mouth better be "we're here" because if you keep yelling at me then I might actually crash this car just to spite you!" I said to him, totally serious. He shut up and the tension in the air was almost unbearable. I felt bad so I eased up how frantically I was driving, causing him to be put at ease slightly. "I'm sorry. I'm just worried that something happened to him. You know how much I care about him, how I care about all of them. I didn't mean to snap at you. I'm sorry." I said to him honestly. I glanced at him and he was already looking at me.

"It's okay. I understand. I know how much you worry sometimes." He said to me. He put his hand on my thigh so I picked it up and kissed his knuckles lightly, then I set it back where it was. I drove the rest of the way slightly illegally but it wasn't as bad as earlier. When we pulled up I went right back into work mode and I pulled out my gun. I went through the front door and noticed bullet holes in the frame next to the door. I looked around the room and didn't see anything. I checked the current floor, since there is a ground level, basement, and second floor. Spencer went upstairs and I continued to clear the first floor. I noticed a member of the swat team on the floor. I checked his pulse and it wasn't there. I noticed the neck shot and knew he was murdered. I gave a moment of silence to him out of respect but went right back to work. I cleared the rest of the rooms and went upstairs to check on Spencer, both of us silent in case there was someone in the house who would harm us. I made sure my boyfriend was okay and noticed two other members down. That takes the count to three out of ten, when we check the basement there could be more. I opened the slightly cracked basement door and walked down the steps, my flashlight being the only source of light for me. I made sure to be careful of my step, still not wanting to set anything off. When I got to the bottom of the steps I looked around the room and saw another dead swat member. I walked into the open room and saw Morgan on the ground behind the couch. I ran over and got to my knees. His gun was just out of his reach, his vest had bullets in it, and he was looking pretty rough.

"Morgan! What happened?" I asked as I lightly tapped his cheek. He groaned and looked at me. I waited for his answer.

"He was waiting for us, behind the door. He opened fire, got one of the swats, and ran upstairs. We followed after him and he got two more. He ended up going downstairs in an escape so I followed after him with the remaining, he was cornered so he went down here, we followed him and it ended up in a shootout. He got that one over there and he got me pretty good. I think my phone is somewhere, I'm not sure." He said, explaining the whole thing.
