Cassie tapped her hand against her thigh every five seconds, trying to ignore the delightful smell of pasta. Damn, if only her mother had stuck around when she was a kid. She may have actually enjoyed family dinners.

Carl was sitting opposite her, a sadistic grin on his face.

She avoided his stare, swirling her tongue inside her mouth in an attempt to think of something to do.

They'll find her, right?

They won't just let her die.

Carlisle won't let her die.

Reid won't just let her die.

"Honey, would you mind just getting the table set? I would hate for this meal to be improper."

Cassie looked between her mother and supposed brother, wondering who she meant.

It better not be her.

Imagine. Kidnapping your own daughter to then ask her to set the fricking table.

She would have to be crazy.

"Of course, mummy."

What.

The.

Actual.

Fricking.

Fuck.

Carl stood and went over to the drawers, catching her attention. She spotted at least 5 sharp knives, and around 20 butter knives.

Why would a family of two need so many?

If only she could get to one of them...

Her thoughts were interrupted by the man setting down a spoon in front of her, but didn't make an effort to move after.

Instead, he stood there, slightly lowered so they would be the same height.

"You know, I've always wanted a little sister."

She gulped, "oh yeah? I can't really say the same. I was always told older brothers are annoying and pull your hair. So..."

He scowled at her, getting even closer than was appropriate.

"I can do a lot worse than pull your hair, little sis. So I suggest you behave and let mum have her nice meal. She's tried to hard for us to be together. Don't mess it up."

Carl then made his way across the table and put his own cutlery down.

Maybe she could gouge his eyes out with the spoon.

She looked over at her mother, listening to the quiet humming of a random song.

God. How had this become her life? Would this have happened if she hacked the BAU?

Probably.

But at least now there was a possibility she'd get out of here alive.

Hopefully.

"Five more minutes and then it'll be ready."

Carl grinned and nodded.

"Great. I can't wait."

GrEaT. I CaNt WaIt.

Suck up.

Cassie was now watching her mother pour some spaghetti into her bowl, before sitting down on the seat next to her son.

"So... How has school been?"

What?

"Excuse me?"

Mary finished her food in her mouth before speaking.

"School? You're training to become part of the FBI right? So, how has it been?"

Cassie felt her throat drying up slightly, her eyes moving to the glass of water in front of her.

She could use that.

But what if it was poisoned or drugged?

That would not be very helpful right now.

"Fine."

Carl coughed, a glare set on her.

"What did I just say?"

Clenching her jaw, Cassie licked her lips.

"I made a few friends. We have parties. Fuck, what else am I meant to say?"

"Language. I will not accept any of that in my house."

She was really testing her patience.

"Little sis, why don't you tell mum about the group chat? You know, the one that you hacked?"

Damn.

She has never hated someone more in her life.

"Actually, Carl, I think we should let her eat something. She barely touched the food I so kindly made her."

Well.

She seems kinda desperate for her to eat it.

Why?

"Come on now, do as she says. Or do we need to feed it to you?"

Shit.
