Ch. 9 Pain

Third Person

Ember hasn't woken up for nearly three hours. Henery kept checking in but didn't believe her after the stunt that she just pulled. The police and FBI agents were trying desperately to get any new info they could. That is when the news of the last body being discovered. This time there was a note.

'Stop looking, you will never find her.'

The agents were trying to figure out why he would say anything when he had already won in his eyes.

"What if he is bluffing." A random officer said.

"Why do you say that?" Rossi asked looking at the officer.

"What if Ember isn't able to be moved, why would he say anything if he wants her to stay hidden." The officer said.

"You think that he may have done something to her to the point of him hurting her?" J.J. asked.

"Emberlynn has always been stubborn, a month ago her mom wasn't sure of who she was and Em couldn't find her, she came and refused to leave until she had help." The officer said. "What if there was a possibility that she refused to do something or put up a fight?"

"You have a point." Rossi said.

"For now we have to keep approaching this as if she is still here, put out a notice for his car to the surrounding areas. If he does leave we need to know." Morgan said.

"Guys, I think I found a place, it is a farmhouse, 37 miles away from Emberlynn's house, it is about an hour away if you take the road he went to. I am sending the address now." Garcia said. Everyone then got into their cars after suiting up. When they got there they saw Henry's car and they saw movement in the room. They made themselves known and instantly Henry ran further into the house. As the agents entered. They started clearing rooms. When they went upstairs they found Henerey hiding behind Embers limp body.

"Henery Falli, step away from the girl!" Morgan yelled.

"No! She is mine!" He yelled and put a knife over her heart.

"Henery, I get it, she is your girl, but you don't want to hurt her, and right now the way she is hanging, I am more than certain she will be in pain." Reid said.

"No! She was being bad and needed to be punished!" He raged.

"Henery. Tell us why you wanted her?" Reid said, putting his gun back into his holster.

"She was in pain! That fucking ass hole was hurting her. I want her to be safe." He said lowering the knife.

"Let us take her to a hospital then, she needs help." Reid said. "Look at her, she isn't breathing right!"

"What?" He said quietly and went around to the front of her. His back was turned and Morgan rushed over and grabbed the guy. He instantly tried to fight but wasn't able to as Morgan had his arms pinned behind him. Reid went over to Emberlynn and checked for a pulse. He let out a sigh of relief as he felt her pulse was strong. He then went behind her to let her down only to see the state of her back. Dried blood was crusted over the area and whip marks were clearly seen.

J.J. and Blake entered the room directed by Morgan and grimaced at the sight of the girl.

"We have to get her down." They said snapping Reid out of his daze.

"Yes but we need to be careful, her back is torn up." He said while still staring at her back. Both agents walked to look at the young girls back and gasped at what they saw. J.J. grabbed a blanket from the bed and held it in front of the young girl.

"How do we get her down?" Blake asked. Morgan came back up and went over to Reid. Reid took the blanket from J.J. and put it on his front side.

"Morgan let her down slowly. J.J., Blake, when she is closer to the ground keep her arms up. She is going to be in extreme pain, and she may even wake up from the movement." Reid said.

They started letting her down and as soon as her arms moved her eyes shot open and a blood curdling scream left her mouth. Morgan instantly stopped and looked at the girl in horror.

"Keep letting her down!" Reid demanded.

"Please! Stop it hurts!" The young girl screamed.

"Emberlynn I know it hurts, we need to let you down, I am sorry." He said and her begging and pleading continued. It pained the agents to hear the girl's screams. When she was finally low enough Blake and J.J. started to slowly move her arms down. Her screams died down and were reduced to loud sobs. All her weight was on Reid and he carefully wrapped the blanket so that it was over her lower back where there were no marks.
