Hotch's POV
"Mrs. Tyler?" I asked as a mid-aged blonde woman opened the door.
"Yes?" She asked.
"I'm SSA Hotchner and this is SSA Rossi from the behavior analysis unit of the FBI." I said.
"Is Jessica home?" Rossi asked.
"Um, yeah she is. Can I ask why?" Mrs. Tyler asked.
"Do you know this girl?" I asked holding up a picture of Katherine.
"Yeah. She was on the volleyball, basketball, soccer, and softball team with Jessica. Why, did something happen to her?" She asked.
"That's what we'd like to find out. May we come in?" Rossi asked.
"Yeah, sure. Can I get you anything?" She asked moving aside so Rossi and I could walk inside.
"No thanks, we're good." I said. She nodded.
"I'll go get Jessica." She said and walked into a different room.
"There aren't any pictures of Jessica." Rossi whispered. I nodded.
"Can I help you?" A blonde girl asked walking in the room.
"Jessica?" I asked.
"Yeah?" She said crossing her arms.
"I'm Agent Hotchner and this is Agent Rossi. We're from the Behavioral Analysis Unit of the FBI." I said.
"We'd like to ask you some questions." Rossi said.
"Sure." She said gesturing to two chairs and a couch. Rossi and I sat in the chairs and she sat in the couch across from us.
"Do you know this girl?" Rossi asked showing her Katherine's picture.
"Of course. Katherine Hudson. Ms.Perfect." She said rolling her eyes.
"So, I assume you didn't get along with her?" I asked.
She laughed.
"That's an understatement. She was perfect at everything. Graduated at the top of our class, was president of every club we were in, and captain of every sports team. Every boy wanted her and every girl wanted to be her." She said shaking her head.
"What about Michael Prescott?" Rossi asked.
"He was,is,in love with her. They didn't date during high school. I don't think they even talked that much until they started dating in college." She said.
"Where were you last night at around 10:30?" I asked.
"I was upstairs in my room. Why?" She asked nervously.
"Katherine was taken from protective custody last night." Rossi said.
"So you think I helped Michael take her?" She asked. Rossi and I exchanged a look. "What?"
"We never mentioned anything about Michael taking her." I said. She looked at me, then at Rossi, then back to me.
"We're going to need to take you for further questioning." Rossi said.
Spencer's POV
"Spence?" J.J asked walking in.
"What." I snapped. I wasn't exactly mad at her, just a little upset.
"I think I know where Katherine is." She said. My head snapped up. "Michael's parents told me that they spent a lot of time at his grandparent's house."
"Did you get an address?" I asked.
"No. I didn't put it together until now." She said. I nodded and dialed Garcia's number.
"Hello beautiful." Garcia said cheerfully.
"Garcia, can you give me Michael's grandmother's address?" I asked.
"Quicker than lightning. It's 3476 N. Kedvale." She said.
"That's only two blocks away. That son of a bitch had her under our radar this whole time!" I said.
"Bring her home safe." She said before hanging up.
"Morgan!" I yelled running through the police station.
"What?" He asked.
"I know where she is. Call Hotch on the way." I said and ran out of the station.
"Why are we running?" He yelled running after me.
"It's only two blocks away. 3476 N. Kedvale." I said running faster.
"Hotch, we know where she is. 3476 N. Kedvale. Hurry." Morgan said into his phone.
"Reid slow down!" He yelled after me.
I slowed my pace down from a sprint to a run.
"Who knew a kid this skinny could run that fast." He said clapping a hand on my shoulder.
"You go through the back, I'll go through the front." I said.
He pulled out his gun and I did the same and walked up the front stairs.
The tv was on but nobody was in the living room.
I walked down the hall and looked in each room.
Nothing.
As I came to the last door I prayed to God that she was in there unharmed.
Only half of my prayer came true. She was in there but she was gagged and her head and stomach were bleeding.
Her eyes widened at the sight of me and she started shaking her head frantically.
I walked over to her and took the gag out of her mouth.
"What?" I asked looking into her eyes.
"Behind you." She whispered. I slowly turned around to face Michael.
"So Mr. Reid. I see we finally meet." Michael said.
I looked at him then at Kate.
I punched him in the face and said, "It's doctor." Kate's jaw dropped.
"Oh my God Spence. Are you okay?" She asked.
"The question is are you okay? What happened?" I asked her.
"I got hit over the head and I think I was stabbed in the stomach." She said.
"We need to get a paramedic. Hotch is on his way. Morgan!" I yelled.
"Hotch is outside with the paramedics and the rest of the team." Morgan said.
"Take her outside. She was stabbed and I think she has a concussion." I said.
"I'm fine, guys. Really." She said trying to stand up but failing immensely. Morgan and I caught her as she stumbled.
"Come on baby girl. Let me help you." Morgan said.
"Fine." She said giving up letting him wrap an arm around her waist to stabilize her.
"You got this under control?" He asked. I nodded looking at Michael's stirring body on the ground.
Katherine's POV
"Come on baby girl. We're almost there." Derek said as he helped me to the front door.
"Derek..... I think..... I'm gonna..... pass out." I managed to say.
"Come on Katherine. You need to stay with me. We're almost outside and then the paramedics can help you." He said.
As we walked outside about ten people rushed over as I fell limp into Derek's arms.
