Safe ⤁ A Criminal Minds Story

01: Saviour

After 10 years, Sir finally lets me out to the store. This is my chance. I could run, but he could find me. Conflicting emotions run through my brain as I enter the store, I pull my sleeves right down and cover my face, instinct.

I grab a basket and walk around when I saw a tall man in a nice suit talking with the cashier.

"FBI?" The cashier questions, "what do the FBI want with Sophie?"

"We just want to ask her some questions about her boyfriend, if she shows up to her shift, let us know." The agent spoke.

This was my chance, how often am I gonna get a chance to go out after this? And an FBI agent? This is golden. It's my chance.

"Sir!" I shout, "you work with the FBI?"

"Kitten?" Jake storms through the doors, Dave red with anger.

"Help me." I whimper, and the agent pulls out his weapon aiming at Jake, but he doesn't budge. He keeps his eyes on me, fury written in his stare.

"Please escort the lady outside to my parter. You, on your knees."

As I walk out of the store, tears of joy pour from my eyes as I realise I'm free. I smile and let out a small chuckle as I take in the fresh air.

"Is everything okay, miss?" The other agent asks me, gently placing a hand on my shoulder.

"Im free." I cry, "I'm finally free, thanks to you both being here. You saved me."

They load Jake into the back of their car and call the rest of their team to send another to take me to the station.

"Where am I?" I ask, almost dazed.

"Quantico, Virginia." Agent Gideon, as I've come to learn, replies. "Where did you come from?"

"Baltimore."

The agents, Hotchner and Gideon take me back to my family home in Baltimore, I sit in the back seat exhausted and nervous. I haven't seen my family in 10 years, my sister will be sixteen now, my mother won't even recognise me after all this time. All the thought in my mind start to make me worry, I lost my whole childhood, my good years.

As we pull up to the house, I see my sister, walking up from school. I set out and call her name, "Angie?"

"Who are you?" She looks confused, like she recognised me, but only barely. "Mom?"

"What's going on honey? Who are you?"

"Mom?" I say through tears, my voice cracking as I set closer, "it's me, Liv."

"Olivia? My Livvy?" She takes a long look at my eyes, instantly breaking down, "it's you, you're alive. My baby!"

She runs and throws her arms around me bringing me in a tight embrace, this is what I had missed out on. Mother love, sister love. Being close to them again made me feel better, made me feel like I wasn't broken.

"They saved me, mom, it's all thanks to them." I turn to the cat and see my saviours smiling down at the scene before them.

"No need to thank us, we just did our job." They smile one more time and take off back to Quantico. I'm back with my family and I never have to see that monster again.
