*********************************************************

Addie's POV:

I feel drowsy, like my head's under water. I slowly try to open my eyes, but the effort is exhausting. It all comes rushing back to me: Todd calling Spencer, Todd drugging me. The team would have tracked the call, I know they would've. I force my eyes open despite still feeling drugged.

"Willow?" I whisper in a raspy voice, struggling to scan the cabin for her. But she's not handcuffed to her cot like she usually is.

"Willow?" I call louder, panic rising in my chest.

"I'd save your energy, sweetheart," a vile voice behind me says.

"Where is she, you bastard," I grimace, trying to shake the grogginess from my head.

"My daughter? Oh, I let her go."

"You... what?"

"I figured I didn't need the little bitch making things more difficult, and I assume that you have access to her portion of the money as well. She was only getting in the way, so now she's probably halfway dead of hypothermia in the woods right now," he smiles wickedly.

"I'm going to kill you!" I yell, struggling against my constraints. He just laughs.

"Trust me, I'd be more concerned about yourself right now. Tell me, Adeline, when did you find out you were pregnant?" Todd smirks. I freeze, my eyes widening in horror. I follow his eyes down to my legs and see the thin stream of dried blood running down my legs from my underwear. I let out a pained whimper at the sight, my eyes finally welling up with the tears that I've kept in for so long.

"Please... please don't hurt me. I'll find a way to get you money, I swear!" I silently sob. Todd doesn't say anything, just takes out his knife and slowly traces along my exposed collarbone, leaving a light trail of blood.

"I was betrayed by your mother and her choices, I believe it's only fitting that your child knows that same pain."

"Don't do this," I plead as Todd takes out the vial of Propofol once again and begins to inject me. I know the drug is fatal to the baby. Suddenly the door to the cabin is kicked open and people come rushing in. The BAU. Todd quickly rips the syringe out of my arm and takes out his knife, pressing it to my throat as he steps behind my hanging body. I can feel the effects of the drug starting to set in once again, even if he only managed to give me a small dose this time.

"Todd Kemper, drop the knife!" Hotch yells, all guns aimed at us. I finally lock eyes with Spencer, who is scanning my body with horror.

"Willow. Find Willow," I mumble, fighting to stay conscious.

"Hand over the money, or she dies," Todd replies calmly, pressing the knife tighter to my throat.

"We have the money, Todd. Drop the knife and we'll hand it over," Rossi negotiates, reaching behind him to pull out a big duffel bag.

"Let me see it," Todd demands, gesturing to the bag. I'm surprised when Rossi opens the bag and I see stacks of money inside. Whose money is that? Todd relaxes his grip on me and I see the agents lower their weapons, trying to draw him closer to the bag of money. He steps in front of me and reaches for the bag, so I muster up the rest of the strength that I have and swings my leg to kick him in the crotch. He doubles over in surprise, allowing the agents to take him down and restrain him. Spencer wastes no time running over to me, holding my body as Morgan cuts the chains that have been keeping me upright. I crumble in Spencer's arms, yet his firm grip keeps me from falling.
