A Bond that Can Never be Broken {A Criminal Minds Fanfic}

I Can Take It

______________________AVERY'S POINT OF VIEW_____________________

Cruise was driving down a very bumpy road because I was moving around the trunk of a small, four door Honda. We came to a fast stopand he stepped out of the car and made his way to the trunk. He opened the trunk and pulled me out. He carried me, bridal style, to an old house in the middle of woods. He walked in and handed me off to another man in his 20s. The second man brought me to a room with an iron door. He opened it, took off my bullet-proof vest, cut the zip-ties, and threw me in. I remembered the cordless ear-pieces that Hotch gave the team. It was still in my pocket. I looked around the room to see if there were any cameras, but there weren't any so I put the ear-piece in my left ear. Cruise walked into the room with chains, a metal chair, and a camera on a tripod. He closed the door and put the camera in place and turned it on. He placed the metal chair behind me and said:

"If you don't cooperate, I kill a member of your team."

____________________THE MORGAN'S POINT OF VIEW________________

We came back to the police station. We got a FaceTime call from Garcia.

"Yeah Garcia?" Rossi asked.

"Guy's you need see this." She said as she pulled up a video. The video was of Avery sitting on the floor of a dimly lit room. Cruise placed a chair behind her and said:

{If you don'tcooperate, I kill a member of your team.}

"Garcia is this a live feed?" Hotch asked.

"Yes."

"Well, can you track it?!" I said.

"No its bouncing of proxy servers like a pin ball."

"Is there any way you can find her?" Rossi asked.

"Not until I find Cruise."

"Then find Cruise, Penelope!" I said as Avery sat down in the chair and Cruise tied her to it.

{I will not let you hurt them.}She said surely.

{You sound so sure of yourself.} said Cruise.

{That's because I've learned from the best.}Avery said as she looked into the camera.

{Who is the best?}Cruise said.

{Just a friend from high school. He is the toughest person I've ever known.}

{Let me guess, Derek J. Morgan?} Cruise asked sarcastically.

{Yes} she said as he stood up, walked over to her, and pulled her head back by her hair.

{Well if he is so tough, why isn't he here to save you?}

{I can take it.}

"Stay in there, baby. Stay in there." I said to myself.

{You can take it huh. Can you take this?} Cruise said right before he punched Avery in the stomach.

{Yep. I can take it.}She grunted.

"She's telling us that she can take it just not for long." Rossi said.

"That's why we need to hurry." Reid said.

"I'm going to the hospital to check on JJ."Rossi said.

"Tell her to stay strong." Reid said.

"I will." Rossi said as he put one hand on Reid's shoulder.

We sat there watching the screen waiting for Avery to give us a sign on how to find her. A person walked in, it wasn't Cruise.

"Garcia." Hotch said.

"I'll find him, sir." she replied

{Remember what Jason said earlier.} said the man in the video.

{How can I forget? You threatened my family and I have great hearing.} Avery said as she glimpsed at the camera.

"Hearing. I gave each member of the team a cordless ear-piece. She must still have it." Hotch said.

"Avery. If you can hear me roll your neck and tap your foot." Reid said into a walkie-talkie. She rolled her neck and tapped her foot just like she was told.

{I'm going to unchain you, but if you resist...} said the man as Avery interrupted with:

{I know the consequences. What do I call you?}

{You think I'm going to say my name in front of your team.} The man said as he gestured to the camera.

{Then shut off the camera and tell me.} She said. He shut off the camera, said his name was Gary Tom, and turned the camera back on.

"Garcia."I said.

Tom unchained Avery and kicked the chair aside. He grabbed the chains, wrapped them around her hands, and chained her to a metal ring attached to the ceiling. He removed Avery's plaid, button-down shirt revealing a white, shami under shirt. He grabbed a knife and rubbed it up and down her right arm. He finally placed the knife sideways on her arm and cut the skin, drawing blood. Avery didn't even wince. He pushed the knife deeper into her skin causing her to press her lips together. He lifted the knife to her face and cut her cheek. The blood dripped down her arm and cheek changing Avery's completely white under shirt to white with red blotches.

{Can you still take it?} Tom said sarcastically.

{Go to hell.} Avery said.

{Big mistake.} He said just before he took a step back then kicked her in the stomach. He then punched her in the face, making Avery's forehead bleed. {Jason's turn.} Tom said as he grabbed his array of knives and left the room.

{Guys hurry. Jason is the dominant partner. This might get worse.} Avery said right before Cruise walked in with a whip with spikes on the end.

{Hello again.} He said.

{Can I have some water before you use that on me?} She said.

{Why yes.} Cruise said as he grabbed a hose in the corner of the room, {You can!} he sprayed her with it, drenching her. Cruise spun her around and ripped her under shirt down the middle along with her bra. He grabbed the whip and swung it through the air. He then threw the end of the whip at Avery's shoulders, ripping it through her skin.

"AAAHHH!!!" She yelled.

He did it multiple times until her back was completely red.

"I can't watch this anymore." I said as I walked toward the main entrance of the station. I walked outside, sat on the pavement, and began to cry. I realized that my love was being torture and I can't do anything about it.
