Chapter 53

"I only want Doyle. Where's Doyle?" She demanded

"Right here love" before she could even blink two almost simultaneous shots where fire into her kelver

•••••••••••

"She threw a flash-bang grenade into a car. She's lucky the 3 people inside didn't die, is anybody else bothered by that?" Morgan asked

"Well, 3 bad guys" Rossi reminded him

"Illegal as it is, I think Emily knows she has to be a ruthless as Doyle" Hotch said calmly

"He's come to the US to wage a public vendetta and hired a group of mercenaries to remain loyal to him. He has nothing to lose so she has to act the same way" Reid added

"So how'd did Doyle know she was waiting for him?" Rossi asked

"Well the mile must of told him right? Same guy who's been feeding Doyle the contractors and agents?" JJ said

"And our best suspect was just arrested with a suitcase full of cash, how do we get Easter to talk? He won't cooperate willingly." Ashley questioned

"I'll handle that. The rest of you focus on Doyle's location" Hotch answered

"I hate to be the one to ask this, but how long does Emily have?" Garcia asked looking at Hotch

"Her best chance is also the most troubling. Doyle saved her for last because he views her as his stressor. Which means he'll take his time"

••••••••••

"Where's my ring?" He asked pulling back her hair

"I flushed it"

"I spent 6 years in hell because of that ring. So now I'm going to give you another gift" Ian said his hands traveling down to her shirt
"One you won't get rid of so easily" as each button came undone her heart pumped faster

"A four-leaf clover should be nice addition, to your other tattoos"

"Yup. That's enough ink for me thanks"

"Ink? North Koreans can't afford ink? No, no, they brand themselves."

"The more you fight, the more this will hurt" he told her before a toe curling scream left her body

"Why are you doing this?" She asked as he buttoned up her shirt
"Why are you keeping me alive?"

"Hey, FBI grabbed Fagey" Liam said
"Her people. It won't be long before he starts squealing and they're banging on our door"
"Do what you have to do so we get the hell out of here" he said passing Ian the gun

"I know what you want"

"Do you, really?" Doyle asked

"You want Lauren Reynolds back, I can do that, I can be her"

"You think that'll save your skin?"

"I have no illusions, but I am tired of this, of being afraid" she said tears framing her brown eyes

"We don't have time for this" Liam said

"We'll make time"

"What about Fahey?"

"I'll take care of it"

•••••••••

"Did you know that Jeremy sold that list to Doyle?"

"I had my suspicions"

"So when you got to DC you couldn't trust Tsia either. Emily read your doubt as duplicity and so did we" Hotch said
