Arizona (Hawaii Five-0 / Criminal Minds/ FBI International Fanfic)

Chapter 8 (Edited-Shorter Chapter)

Grand Budapest Penthouse, Budapest Hungary, Europe

Arizona checked into a penthouse she looked at when she first came to Europe a few years ago while working with the FBI's Fly team here. Led by supervisory Special Agent Scott Forrester, he was a great boss and partner romantically for a year before she left Budapest. No their relationship ending wasn't the reason she left, Arizona left because she'd been offered a job with the BAU and she wanted to be back in the States closer to her dad; in hopes they could visit more, and the chance to be close with Uncle Dave and work with him and one of the most elite units in the FBI. 

Arizona let out a sigh as she stood on the balcony of her penthouse she was renting, overlooking the city lights. Even close to midnight, Budapest was stunning and the architecture was incredibly beautiful. Within an instant, her stomach turned sending her running towards the bathroom in time for her to throw up. Which quickly turned to her gagging and not throwing anything up at all since she had nothing left to throw up. 

Arizona sat on the floor in the bathroom after throwing up waiting to see if she was done before she used the last bit of her energy to pull herself to her feet. The dark haired woman rinsed her mouth with water before dragging herself into the next room to bed, falling asleep the moment her head hit the pillow. 

After what felt like seconds Arizona was startled awake by the sound of a loud bang followed by footsteps making their way down the hall towards her. With seconds on hand, the dark haired woman dove into the closet where her suitcase was. She pulled the sliding door to the closet shut hearing footsteps coming towards the bedroom. Arizona unzipped her suitcase and pulled her phone out and turned the device on for the first time since she left the USA. Knowing it would be one of the first things Uncle Dave and the BAU would try to track her with. 

"Where is she?!" an unfamiliar voice called out in Spanish. "Find her!" another deep voice she didn't recognize replied. The phone slowly turned on and Arizona instantly muted the phone and went to send a message. 

To: Uncle Dave

HELP!

Right as Arizona sent the message the door to the room opened and a second later the closet door was yanked open. The dark haired woman started punching, Kicking, and trying try crawl away until she was hit on the back of the head knocking her out cold. 

BAU Office, FBI Academy, Quantico Virginia 

The agents sat around the round table going over a new case when Rossi's phone buzzed in his pocket pulling his attention away from what Garcia was saying. The agent pulled the device out of his pocket. The message was probably Steve letting him know he landed in Budapest with his team and Lieutenant Commander Joe White. 

Rossi opened his phone and the message and froze at not only who the message was from but also what it said. "Shit" Rossi said as he stood up from his seat and made his way out of the round table room already dialing Arizona's number only for it to ring a bunch of times before going to voice mail. 

Garcia stopped what she was saying the moment Rossi cursed and got up from the room leaving the agents confused. "Keep briefing the team Garcia, I'll be right back," Hotch said as he stood up from his seat and walked out of the round table room. Hotch walked over to Dave's office lightly knocking on the door. "Come in," Rossi called as Hotch opened the door and stepped into the office noticing Rossi was standing by his desk on the phone. 

"She's in trouble, she messaged me for help and now her phone is going to voicemail. Have you landed in Budapest?" Dave asked through the line and Hotch pieced together that he was talking to Steve. "Okay, I'm gonna reach out to a friend in Budapest and ask him to meet you at the airport," Dave replied before he hung up the line and called Agent Scott Forrester.

The line rang a few times before the call was answered. "Agent Forester," the agent said answering the call. "Forrester, It's David Rossi. I need a favor," The agent asked through the line. "Sure, what do you need?" Forrester replied. 

Unknown Location, 

Arizona woke up in a small dark space, she tried to move feeling that both her wrists and ankles were bound. That's when the agent noticed whatever was holding her was moving. A car? A trunk of some kind judging by the faint glow from the tail lights. 'I should've gone home to the States when I had a chance' Arizona thought. Maybe she wouldn't be tied up in a trunk if she had. 

Stay calm, she reminded herself of 2 things. 1) She messaged Uncle Dave for help and 2) Her Uncle Dave definitely reached out to Steve. Which gave her peace of mind knowing her Ninja-like brother would come find her and easily considering they knew where she was the moment she sent the text message for help. 

Arizona felt around the trunk of the car for anything she could use to cut the rope around her wrists and ankles. In all honesty, she wanted to get the rope off her ankles first. she could and kick and run the moment the vehicle came to a stop and her kidnappers opened the trunk. Kick and run as fast as you can. Arizona told herself making up a plan, knowing kidnappers are most vulnerable during transfer points. 

Whether it is to transfer the kidnapped person, or the transfer point of where a kidnapper will hold their victim. If anything goes wrong they risk losing their victim, after what felt like forever the vehicle slowly came to a stop. Arizona managed to grab a screwdriver and rip the ropes on her ankles getting them free. Quickly she went to break the rope on her wrist when she heard the trunk open. 

Without thinking Arizona started kicking and managed to get to her feet noting one of the two goons start to lunge at her. With one motion she stabbed the man with the screwdriver and started running towards the tree line and forest. 

BANG!

The breath was knocked out of Arizona's lungs and the dark haired woman fell to the ground halfway across a field. A tearing sensation went through her side causing her to squeeze her eyes closed in pain; knowing between the feeling and sound she had been shot. Arizona was lifted off the ground and carried inside a large barn. 

One of the men tossed her in a gated pen that had a padlock on the outside. Arizona was dropped on the floor before the man left locking the gate and the barn behind him. The dark haired woman tried to take slow deep breaths but each inhale and exhale was so painful; she ended up passing out from the pain.
