I watch in horror as Spencer falls to the ground clutching his right thigh "Spencer!" I cry out. I go to run towards Spencer but my arm is pulled back.
"Ah, ah, you're not going anywhere. You're going to sit here and watch your boyfriend bleed out then I'm going to make you suffer in ways you've never imaged. By the time I'm finished with you, you'll be begging for death." Alan's spine-chilling breath hits my ears as he whispers into my ear, thoughts of the things he could do to me and the ones I love flood my mind making me feel sick to the stomach. Alan's warm breath hits the skin behind my ear making me want to rip my skin off. "But first, let's have some fun with this little bastard shall we?" Alan says as he points his gun at Spencer.

"Was that a gunshot?" Morgan asks as he runs over to join the team who were talking to Cruz.
"Reid was shot." Hotch says, his voice strangely calm.
"Why aren't we going in?" Morgan shouts.
"Because there are too many hostages, from what we can tell Reid is injured but alive." Cruz interjects.
"So what's the plan?" JJ asks as she joins the group.
"Alan is going to know every trick we have so we have to come up with new ones." Hotch plans.
"We have snipers on top of the surrounding buildings, they have orders to take him out as soon as they have a clean shot." Cruz informs us of his plan.
"This is about revenge, he has a plan to get back at Spencer and Alannah." JJ thinks aloud.
"Yeah but what? The best way to hurt them is to hurt innocent people or us." Morgan joins JJ in thinking about what Alan's plans could be.

Alan is pacing up and down as he fiddles with the safety on the gun. He tied me up to a chair where I'm forced to watch Spencer as blood pours from his thigh. Alan didn't tie Spencer up, instead he let Spencer lie on the floor, clutching at his leg as blood oozes from the bullet holes. The hostages cry and cling to one another's hands for comfort.
I need to calm Alan down somehow but how? He knows that I've been lying in order to keep everyone save so he's not going to listen to me. I look to Spencer who is looking at the wound on his leg to see how bad it was. It doesn't look like the bullet hit any major arteries but he still needs to see a doctor and fast or he will bleed out.
I look over to Alan who was clearly thinking some sort of plan through. I look back to Spencer who was now looking at me, he knew I was planning something. He looks at me, his eyes filled with such a look of desperation. "Alan you don't need to do this." I look at Spencer as I speak up. Spencer's face turns from a look of desperation to a warning look, he didn't want me to try anything but for Spencer's sake and the sake of everyone in here I have to try something.
"What?" Alan bites back without looking over to me as he continues to pace.
"You can let these people go, it's got nothing to do with these people. It's me you're angry with, not them." I plead.
"Not completely true. I have a problem with the dick that took advantage of you." Alan spits, throwing Spencer a look of disapproval.
"He didn't take advantage of me, if anything I took advantage of him." I wasn't sure where I was going with this lie, but I had to try something.
"Alannah, stop." Spencer pleads with me.
"You should listen to lover boy." Alan snaps.
"No, no more lies. This ends now. Spencer didn't force himself on me, I wanted him." It feels good to finally say the truth, even though it could get me killed.
"Yeah, I bet he wasn't too keen to make you stop though was he?" Alan says as he scowls at Spencer.
"I tried to fight my feelings for as long as I could, I swear. I don't know what happened, everything just got too much for me and Spencer was there; he was so sweet." I plead my case although I might have been making matters worse.
"Are you trying to make things better or worse?" there's almost a chuckle to Alan's voice.
"I just want you to know what happened. It was me, I mean look at Spencer; do you think he has it in him to start an affair." I argue.
"Alannah, please don't do this." Spencer begs, his eyes pleading with me to stop.
"What shouldn't she do Spencer?" Alan asks, his voice has a creepy tone to it as he listens to what we both have to say on the matter.
"She's lying, I did it all; I never gave her a chance to resist me." Spencer pleads with Alan, as desperately as was to trying to save him, he was trying to save me and our baby.
"No here is the big question, and be sure to think about your answer before you say it because it might mean the difference between life and death." Alan pauses as he walks to a spot in the room somewhere to the side so that he could see both of our faces. "Do you regret what you two did with each other?" I look to Spencer, his eyes locked to mine, how the hell are we meant to answer that? I look to Alan who was shoving the magazine into the gun. "Or in other words, do you regret getting pregnant with another man while you're meant to be going out with me?" Alan raises the gun and points it at my head before slowly moving to point it at Spencer. "And Spencer, do you regret getting my girlfriend pregnant?"
