Not Crazy. {Book 1}

Chapter 35

Spencer's Pov:

"When you screamed I'd fight away all of your tears, and I held your hand through all of these years." - Fallen

"Reid?" Blake asked from the front seat of the car.

"After weeks. We finally have something, a trace." I said
"What if they already killed her?"

"I don't think they would've done that." Rossi said not taking his eyes off of the road.

"Why not? That's been their plan all along. To kill JJ. Finally finish what they've been trying to for years now. Right?"

They both stayed silent, making me know I was right.

"Exactly." I said looking out the window watching the trees and other cars we passed as we sped on the road.

I could see the flashing lights on the side walk reflecting off of our car.

"She could fight back." Blake suggested quietly after a while.

I looked up from the window and saw her picking at the skin on the side of her finger.

"Your right. She could." I said agreeing, I really hoped that she would fight back.

Even if she was weak, she was supposed to fight back, try everything she could to stay alive.

For me.

She needed to be alive, I needed to see her again, I needed her to know that I got her message, that we didn't forget about her. That I was on my way to save her.

She needed to stay alive for fifteen more minutes.

She needed to handle then for only fifteen short minutes, and then everything would be okay.

El would get arrested, along with Kate and Hastings.

Hastings was going to pay or everything's he's done though. I would definitely make sure of that.

"What if she can't fight back?" I asked finally, breaking the peaceful and calm silence.

"Seriously?" Blake whispered annoyed that I kept coming up with scenarios about JJ.

"It could be a possibility, they could have her drugged, or beaten."

"Why can't you just think positively? You have to have at least done hope deep down in yourself that she's okay."

"Hope isn't reality. Being positive never helps either, the only thing I can rely on are statistics, facts, the truth and reality."

The both of them went silent, Blake picked at her skin again as Rossi focused on the speeding road.

"You know that's not true." Rossi said after a pause.

"Yes it is."

"No it's not Reid. You can rely on all of us to be there for you when you need it. We are always here for you." Blake said turning around going me a warm soft smile.

"We may not have that much statistics or facts, but you can always rely on us or anything you need. And I mean that." Rossi said

I nodded and sat back in the car seat relaxing as I took long deep breaths.

"JJ is going to be okay, no matter what happens in there we are going to do everything in our power to make sure of that."

"Thank you guys." I said looking down at my shaking knee.

I needed to hear that, I needed to know that Blake and Rossi were here with me.

I needed to let JJ know we were on our way. But there was no way of possibly ever doing that. She just needed to stay alive for seven more minutes.

That's it.

Seven more.
