Life Outside the BAU

Chapter 4

Listening to her words, hearing her panic like that, it made me sweat. There are so many questions bottled up in my brain; who took her? Why? How did they get her? What were they doing to her? I can't help but imagine the worst of things happening. I've only known her a short time but it feels like I've known her my whole life. I have to save her. I rush down town. Thank god for there being so little cars on the road or else I might have gotten myself in an accident. 'I'm coming Victoria' I know she can't hear me but I wish she could, I wish she knew how I was feeling at this exact moment. She called me, over anyone else, she called me. She called me and know I was going to save her, at least, I hope. I don't want to be an idiot and get myself into something I might not be able to get out of. I try and call Hotch so I can have some backup, but there's no service. "Dammit'!" I grunt out loud. By the time I get somewhere where there is service it might be to late. I pull up in front of the old abandoned warehouse. I slowly get out of my car not realizing how fast my heart is beating until I actually try and walk. I try my phone again, still no service. I hear a faint scream from deep inside, it's defiantly Victoria's. I want to call for her, let her know I'm coming, that I'm here for her but that could just put her and I into un-needed trouble. I push the large metal doors open without a creak. I peer inside pulling out my gun. When I don't see anyone I walk in staying close to the wall. I walk quietly along the unsteady floor boards. I hear voices coming from a nearby hallway. I slip into the nearest room without making a sound. I hold my breath just as the small group pass my by. I let put a deep sigh. My eyes quickly widen at the sight that is before me. A dead body. I've seen many in my time at the BAU but none like this. The body was mangled. Limbs just holding together by tiny fibers of skin. It wasn't Victoria but it was someone to somebody. It's only been dead for a couple hours. The body was hanging from the ceiling my its hands and it's eyes were wide open, like they were staring into my soul. It sent a shiver down my spine. I can't stay here for long. I take another breath and step outside the room looking for more people, there is no one. I walk down the hallway listening for any noises that point my in the direction of Victoria. Normally, I would check every door I pass but I don't have my team beside me. Not knowing where she is or what they are doing to her is one of the hardest parts. What if she's already dead? No Spencer, don't think like that, she's alive and your going to save her. My shots up at the sound of another scream. I start making my way into that direction moving faster with each step, not caring who or what stands in my way. I find the door that the sounds appers to be coming from and I can hear a conversation happening inside. I press my ear to the door to hear it better. " Now I'll ask you again Victoria, why did you run. you had everything you could have possibly wanted in Paris?" "I already told you, I was being followed, someone was watc..." "No one was watching you Vicki and even if they were I could have protected you" "That's what you said last time Tyler and you saw what happened" I hear a fist slam on a table a small shriek squeals out from Victoria. I lean in a little closer to hear better causing the door to creak. "What the hell?" I hear the man say. I hear walking over to the door and I raise my gun, there is no where for me to run. My heart starts pounding in my chest and all the blood rises to my head. I feel like I'm going to vomit, than pass out. The door opens and standing there is a grimly faced man with small scars spread across his face. He just smiled, maybe at the terrified expression on my face. My gun is still pointed at his head. His smile grows wider and I notice his disgusting yellow teeth, well the teeth he had left. "Sir, I need you to let the woman go" I demand. He doesn't move. "Please sir, just let her go and we can do this nice and easy" I say with a pleading expression in my eyes. Just let her, please let her go! The man snaps his fingers and two of his 'henchmen' walk up behind me. Oh this is not seriously happening. The man turns to Victoria who is sitting tied up on the floor "So this the FBI agent you told me about?" He chuckles and I can smell his grotest breath stinking of rotten fish. The two men gran each one of my arms causing me to drop my gun. Victoria starts screaming through the piece of cloth over her mouth. The two muscular men push me into the room forcefully and I drop to the ground. I look up at Victoria who has tears rolling down her cheeks. The main man grabs a rope and ties my hands behind my back. "You know, my team will find you" I say. He just laughs and walks out of the room. I untie the rope from my hands (something I learned in elementary school) and untied Victoria. I reached up and put my hand on her cheek rubbing it softly. "I'm so sorry I didn't pick up the phone, I'm so sorry" I say to her holding back tears. "It's okay Spencer, I'm not mad" She says grabbing my face. I look into her gorgeous sparkling eyes. Even when they are filled with tears they are magnificent. We stare at each other for a few moments the she leans in closer and presses her lips to mine. I forgot how much I loved the tenderness of her lips. It almost made you forget where you were. I kissed her back passionately grabbing her shoulders to brace myself. I pulled my lips away from her just to catch a breath. "I love you Victoria" I say suddenly shocked by what came out of my mouth. She looks at me with so much beauty in her face. "I love you too Spencer"
