Criminal Minds 3!

Chapter 40: Gun Point Part 2!

     Erin Strauss walked into the BAU amd up to the round table room. "Have you guys seen the news?" Erin asked. "Yeah, we're about to track down the Unsubs." David replied. "No, I mean the news that is on right now." Erin told them. Penelope types on her laptop and everyone surrounded her as they looked at the news. "We have been told at least one person is dead, there are two FBI agents in the coffee shop, and my guess is that they are wounded. They probably don't have much time left, before they're killed as well." The news reported explained. The team gasped. "No." Penelope commented in tears. "That's why they're not here." Spencer commented and Erin nodded. "We have to go down there." Aaron told them. "They won't br easy to talk to, there's no negotiating with them." Erin told him. "What are you saying?" Aaron asked and she sighed. "You can't force them to release Jearou and Prentiss, they'll kill them instantly. You will have one shot at getting in their undetected, and if you fail. They're as good as dead." Erin replied and Aaron nodded. "I understand." Aaron agreed. "I'm going with you." Erin told him and he nodded.
     Emily looked down at JJ, hoping she doesn't wake up yet. They can't find out she's alive, or they'll kill her on the spot, and then they'll kill Emily for lying. "Stand up." Marcus told her. She sighed and stood up. She faced him as he smirked. Linda grabbed Emily's purse that was on the counter. "Is this yours?" Linda asked. "Yes." Emily replied. Linda looked through it. She grabbed something and dropped the purse. "She has an ultrasound." Linda told her. "You're pregnant? That makes this interesting." Marcus commented. "Maybe we should take you hostage, gives us a way to get out of here." Linda suggested. "I like the way you think, babe." Marcus agreed. "What if I don't go?" Emily asked. "We'll kill you." Marcus replied. "You're going to kill me anyways." Emily commented and Marcus glared at her. "She has a point." Linda agreed. "You think you're so tough, don't you agent?" Marcus asked. "No. But quite frankly, I've been through a hell of a lot worst then this." Emily replied. "Fierce, I like you. But we're still going to kill you." Linda told her.
      The team were outside the coffee shop, behind their cars. "We can't intimidate them. They have to think they're in charge." Aaron told them. "How do we know that Emily and JJ are still alive?" Spencer asked. "We don't, kid. We don't." Derek replied and Spencer sighed. "They're good and they know what they're doing. Emily and JJ are okay, I know they are." Aaron told them. "Hotch is right, no need to assume the worst until we know what's going on in there." David agreed. "Emily and JJ are good, but so are the Lihaun's." Derek commented. "It's a close call, but I'd put my money on JJ and Emily anyday." Spencer commented. "I'm with you." Derek agreed. "We have to be fast and smart about this. Once we're in motion, we can't make a mistake or it's game over." Aaron told them. Erin handed David the number to the coffee shop. "You'll be handling the call with the Lihaun's." Erin told him and he nodded. David took out his phone and dialled the number.
     The phone in the coffee shop rang. Marcus and Linda looked at the phone. Marcus walked up to the counter and answered the phone. "Hello." Marcus greeted. "Marcus Lihaun." David greeted. "You know me?" Marcus asked. "Yes, and your wife as well." David replied. "And who am I speaking to?" Marcus asked. "David Rossi, with the Behavior Analysis Unit of the FBI." David replied. Aaron walked up to Spencer. "Stay here with Rossi." Aaron told him and he nodded. "Okay." Spencer agreed. Aaron motioned to Derek and they started heading towards the back of the coffee shop. "Are these girls in here a part of your team?" Marcus asked. "Yes, and we want them back." David replied. "Too late for that." Marcus told him. "What do you mean?" David asked. "One of your agents are dead." Marcus replied and David gasped. "No." David commented and Marcus laughed. "Yes." Marcus told him.
      Aaron and Derek walked behind the coffee shop and saw a trash can by the back door. Aaron felt someone watching him, but ignored it. He figured it was just from all the suspense and intensity. looked inside and saw JJ on the floor and Linda had a gun up to Emily as Marcus was on the phone. "What's going on?" Derek asked in a whisper and Aaron looked at him. "JJ seems to be unconscious and Linda has a gun up to Emily." Aaron replied. "What do we do?" Derek asked and Aaron sighed. "We lore Linda out." Aaron replied and Derek nodded. Derek knocked over the trash can and Linda looked up. "I'll check that." Linda told her husband. She walked out and Derek grabbed her. She elbowed  him and punched hin in the face. He fell, going unconscious. Then she grabbed her gun and shot Aaron has he fell. "No!" Emily exclaimed in tears. "What was that?" David asked. "I wouldn't want to take away all the surprise." Marcus replied and he hung up.
     JJ felt herself wake up and noticed a gun near her. She figured it was Emily's, and that Marcus was dumb enough to leave it near JJ. Unless he thought she was dead. She slowly grabbed the gun and shot Marcus's leg. He screamed as he dropped his gun and knelt down. Linda started running to him, but Emily grabbed his gun and pointed it at her, stopping her in her tracks. Emily and JJ led them outside as David and Spencer arrested them. Then Emily ran back inside and out to the back. She knelt down in front of Aaron as Derek woke up. "It's okay, Em. It's just a flesh wound." Aaron told her and she sighed. She helped him up and they went to the front of the coffee shop. Therecwas an ambulance and someone was checking JJ's head. They walked up to them as someone wrapped Aaron's wound and Emily's as well.
      The two black vans with the BAU were driving down the road. Aaron, Emily, and Spencer were in one. JJ, Derek, and David were in the other. "This has been one hell of a day." Emily commented. "Tell me about it." Aaron agreed and they both laughed. It was raining and dark out. The vans hit spikes that were on the road as they both skidded and crashed.
