"This is Ridiculous" Nancey whisper-shouts making the two agents glance at one another. They were at a loss, underground, with multiple men with guns and other weapons who were not afraid to use them.
Lillian was debating whether she should breach Auburn and use the phone the Director gave her. But still, there was no way of getting in or out of the bunker without being noticed. She knew Cyrus and his men would fire the second they saw anyone walking down the tunnel.
A small part of her wanted to tell Phill not because of her job and because he was the director, but as a young, scared girl who just wanted the only father figure she had to know that she was in danger.
"It's okay, just calm down." Cyrus tries to assure everyone.
With her mind made up of her decision before she regrets her choice, she walks over to Agent Prentiss, completely ignoring the other agent that was standing by her side.
Lightly clearing her voice "Let me stand behind you."
Emily was already curious about the girl in front of her and how she knew who they both are, by the obvious glare on her face she wasn't a huge fan of them too. Processing her words she furrows her eyebrows.
"What?...Why..."
"Because this whole day has blown up like a frecking volcano" Lillian spits out her words "and I would prefer to not wait until the head of the FBI gives the all the clear to enter which will probably end up with innocents dying."
"So, if you would like to get home with your heart still beating. Let me stand behind you." She adds.
Spencer snaps his eyes down to the girl who was making him a little frustrated, she looks so familiar but he couldn't picture where they'd meet before. He could remember every phone call conversation he's had with someone. But have a blank mind when it comes to her.
This girl was a mystery.
"Whoa. You already know who we are so you should know that we could arrest you for threatening an agent." Reid states.
Lillian snorts "Threatening? Are you okay? seriously did you check his IQ before hiring him?" Shaking her head.
"187" Spencer frowns are the girl's words. "Do I know you?" He couldn't help but ask.
Lillian dryly laughs "Defiantly not. Hurry up. Let me stand behind you so I can go back to my apartment to my cats and baby monkey."
You don't have either. Becks speaks up.
Not the point!
"A Monkey" Emily deadpans but sighs seeing how the men around them were becoming anxious.
"Finally," Lillian mutters standing behind the agent and the other thing. Moving so she could sit down on the box behind them, making it look like nobody was actually there. Taking a deep breath, she pulls out her phone, and for the first time since she's had this job she types.
Auburn Void. Blade crumbling, underground. Weapons are used. FBI is here.
Hoping that they had already figured out about another agency had been tasked with this case. She has suspicions that Phill had created other plans before she had accepted this job just for this exact reason. Breaking the burner phone, she hides the pieces in one of the boxes before standing up and moving to the front of the agent.
"What did you do?" Reid questions narrowing his eyes.
"Yoga" Lillian replies nodding her head "Really easy way to remain calm."
The noises of different guns going off stopped their conversation as they see Cyrus and some men run out of the bunker. Nancey turns towards the two agents. "It's the state police. I'm an officer of the state."
"Well, there's nothing we can do right now," Prentiss says to the women.
"I can talk to him," Nancey explains.
Bad idea.
Finally, something we agree on.
Emily shakes her head in disagreement "No. you can't. It's dangerous."
"Nancy, stop" Emily and Reid try to run after her but get stopped by one of the men with a gun.
A few moments go by and the sound of shooting stops, it's silent in the bunker until Cyrus and his men walk back into the room.
"Where's Lunde?" Prentiss questions him.
"It wasn't us." He answers.
"What? You can't shoot it out with the cops. You have children here." Prentiss points the people in the room.
"I didn't start this. I'll take the roof, you take the tunnel." Cyrus says adding more amour into his gun.

In Virginia, At the FBI headquarters, the BAU floor JJ rushes into the office picking up the tv remove before calling out. "Morgan."
"What's up."
JJ turns on the tv showing him the news channel 'which is reportedly being called a routine questions and answers meeting by Colorado child services has turned into a violent and deadly standoff between Colorado authorities and a fringe religious group known aas the separator in Sect.'
"JJ, that's not the ranch where Prentiss and Reid are?" Morgan questions his co-worker.
JJ nods her head "They're still inside."
"HOTCH" Morgan screams his boss's name.
"Tactical Warrant Service Team into a forced retreat after losing a 30-minute gun battle. With the heavily armed sect..." The News reporter continues his explanation.
"The TV! Prentiss and Reid." Morgan states to his boss.
Hotch and Rossi both look towards the tv and listen to what the reporter was saying "It is believed at least three of the child service members are still trapped within the compound."
Rossi's phone begins to ring, seeing the name that pops up on the screen he mouths 'hold on' and walks back into his office shutting his door and closing his blinds. Making sure nobody could come in or see into his room he answers the phone.
"I'm guessing you've seen the news?" a man's voice comes through the phone.
"Yes. It's hard to miss as every news channel is reporting the situation." Rossi says softly.
The man sighs "Dave"
Rossi was slightly shocked at how vulnerable the man sounded and there was only one reason why he would sound so raw.
"She's in there too isn't she." Rossi sits down in his office chair.
The man hums in response "The same reason, your agents were there."
"I may act like an arrogant asshole because of my job and my rules. But to her.... she might not be my blood, but she is my daughter, and if anything happens to her..."
"Phill, I know how much you care for each other, you both have an amazing bond. You already know she has my respect for what she has been doing for me. She would probably hit you for worrying so much." Rossi confesses.
Phill lightly laughs "Very true."
"Anyways, as you know, I won't be allowed to be there but there will be others coming in my place. Dave just please make sure she gets out all right." The director pleads to an old friend.
"Of course," Rossi hands up the phone shaking his head at the thought of somebody harming Lottie.
Walking out of his office and to where the rest of the members of his team was at. He could tell they were already scared and worried about their co-workers being harmed or even worse. But Rossi had to make Lottie a priority as well.
