"Spence. It's Claire. Please call me back."

It was the first time I hadn't joined the team on a case since I joined the BAU. And how I was regretting it now.

My captor snatched the phone from my hand and growled.

"Call again."

He dialed and handed the phone back to me. Tears welled up in my eyes. It rang a couple of times before he actually answered.

"Claire, I can't talk right now—"

"I need you to come home."

Tears were now streaming down my cheeks.

"What's going on? Are you okay?" His voice automatically sounded panicked and worried. A sob racked my chest when I realized that I'd probably never see him again.

The man took the phone away from me roughly.

"You better hurry up and get here, Dr. Reid. I don't know how long I can control myself."

I heard Spencer shouting through the phone.

"Tick. Tock." The man laughed and hung up the phone.

I felt more tears running down my cheeks and squeezed my eyes shut.
