Take What You Want - A Criminal Minds Fanfic

Chapter 1

"Ugh..." Emily moaned as she was dragged off the pile of blankets that served as a bed in her decrepit prison. She couldn't tell how long she had been kept there in that hell.

"Where are you taking me?" she managed to croak.

"Shut up!" the man dragging her yelled as he slapped her across the face and Emily complied with his order. He pulled her up to face him. "Have fun Princess," he threw her to the ground and slammed the door behind him and Emily could hear the heavy locks click into place.

Garcia was at her breaking point. She had been trying for 5 days to find out where the Unsub had taken Emily, and she hadn't slept at all.

"Derek Morgan I swear to God if you have come here to tell me yet again I need sleep, I will hit you," Garcia said spinning her chair to face him.

"Baby Girl you need to rest, you're never going to find her if you're too exhausted to look properly," Morgan said gently.

"How can I sleep when I know every second I don't find her is another second of him doing God knows what to her?" Garcia asked tears streaming down her face.
"I know babygirl, I know, but at least promise me when I come back with Chinese you'll eat something, okay?" Morgan said as he pulled Garcia into hug. "Alright, I promise, you know my weakness is vegetarian noodles, I would never have won," Garcia said jokingly.

"JJ, we're going to find her, you know that right?" Reid said trying to comfort his friend.

"I know Reid, but what if we find her too late? We know what this psycho does to the women he takes, but what if it's over before we even know where she is Spence? I can't lose her again..." JJ's voice trailed off as the tears began to fall faster down her cheeks.

"I know. I can't either. She's counting on us to find her, so let's get to work," Reid said as he helped JJ off her desk and towards the round table room.

The room was dark, so dark Emily couldn't see a thing. She was panicking, and for the first time since she got back, she was absolutely terrified. Her heart was pounding in her ears so loudly she could barely hear a thing.
"Hello?" Emily asked wearily, "Yeah, because a psychopathic murderer is really going reply to that," Emily mumbled, thinking out loud. Emily's eyes slowly adjusted to the pitch black dark of the room, she could make out a hallway stretching out in front of her with several corridors branching off from the main path.

Suddenly a blinding spotlight was focused on Emily and a voice over a speaker system was saying,

"Welcome, we do hope you've enjoyed your stay here so far. You have 24 hours to find your way through the labyrinth, but be warned in the maze not everything is as it seems, danger might lurk around the corner and failure is something you do not want to experience. Have fun!" With that the spotlight snapped off and a series of smaller lights flickered on.

"Well someone really loves 'The Labyrinth' then," Emily thought to herself.

Morgan had just gotten back with Chinese food when Garcia's computer pinged and a map popped up on screen.

"Morgan, I think I've found her..."
