I fell to the floor as the building burst into flames.

"SPENCER!!! NO!!!!"

TEN HOURS EARLIER

ALENA'S POV

Me and Spencer had an undercover investigation to handle today. It was a cult, something I didn't experience before but there's always a first time for everything. We were undercover, with bugs under our shirts as social workers to talk with the older girls about plans within the future. A real social worker was with us, she was nice. She had worked many cases with me at the NYPD. Natasha was a close friend of mine so I was feeling safe knowing that my closest friend and my husband were by my side. I was stripped of my gun, unfortunately, but it was absolutely key that we couldn't let them know that me and Spencer were FBI agents.

We were granted access into the building. Inside, we were greeted by the leader. Benjamin Cyrus. I remember reading all about his case. As he searched us, I felt a fear rush over me as his hands slipped from one leg to the other. I shook it off

"I think I can do that."

Once we were checked, Benjamin led us to the school. There was a small room within the building that was their homeschool. All the children attended and were taught by another member. We walked in and the children weren't there, it was probably recess time for them. We lined up a few interviews from a couple teenage girls. I only took the last interview with Spencer, Natasha dealt with the rest. Before our interview, Natasha pulled me and Spencer to aside

"Benjamin has been using these girls, sleeping with underage girls and getting them pregnant. After they are pregnant, He makes them abort the children."

A sick feeling rested in my stomach, he was a predator and as the parents were so blinded by the cult ideal, they were ok with this. The final girl sat down and I saw opposite her. She had blonde hair, wavy. She was wearing a breezy white dress with a blue cardigan. She began to fidget with her hands. I started off with simple questions

"So how are you today Jessica?"

She mumbled

"Ok."

"Good and what have you been up to lately?"

She looked down at her stomach, and then back to me

"Nothing. Obeying."

I looked confused, Spencer continued from me

"Obeying? Who?"

She smiled

"Cyrus. He's my love, the only one for me.
The father of my child, my husband."

I looked at her stomach. She was a few months so something about this girl was different. Cyrus didn't abort her child. He's keeping it

"Your pregnant? How far along are you?"

She smiled again

"Four months."

That was understandable, she was showing ever so slightly. Spencer crouched down

"Jessica. You need parental consent to be legally married and carry a child as well. Your 15, that's extremely young."

Cyrus walked in, anger spread across his face.

GIDEON'S POV

After Alena and Spencer went into the building, Morgan, Emily, JJ, Hotch and I were in a small little trailer. We had computers attached to Spencer and Alena's bugs. A few hours past by, there was no sound or anything from Alena or Spencer. Cyrus walked out of the building, looking around. He spotted the trailer that he team was in and started to shoot. I radioed to Cyrus

"Benjamin Cyrus, do not shoot."

"Why?"

I was in a position, a risky position

"Because there are innocent people in there, if you let them go and turn yourself in them no one has to get hurt. Please, do the right thing."

He laughed

"They won't listen. My children won't leave me. Goodbye agent."

The radio cut out.

SPENCER'S POV

"Jessica. You need parental consent to be legally married and carry a child as well. Your 15, that's extremely young."

Cyrus walked in, anger spread across his face. The anger was directed towards Alena.

"Children, lets leave."

A women directed the girls out of the room, Cyrus dragged us three to a small room.
Like a basement. He had a shotgun and was loading it while the rest of his followers, the men that did his dirty work, tied us up.

"Your not social workers are you? Why were social workers sent to us? I'm pretty sure I'd a call was made then I would've heard about it."

Me and Natasha looked at Alena but she had a cover story

"We got a anonymous call from someone on the premises, we are simply here to do our job Sir."

His gaze met with Natasha, he held the shotgun to her forehead. I tried to get out of the rope he tied us in. He chuckled and turned
to look at me

"I'm sorry pretty lady, I don't want you doing your job on my premises."

He shot the gun, her dead body fell to the ground next to me. I let out a scream, trying to choke back my sobs. Cyrus walked out, leaving me and Spencer ties up with the men watching us

GIDEON'S POV

I sat by the radio station, waiting for audio. A static audio came through

"It's done."

I was confused

"What's done Cyrus? What have you done?"

A mischievous laugh came through

"One of social workers that came in has died such a tragic death. Poor girl."

He killed one of them, it was with Natasha or Alena.

"Who? Who did you kill? Please stop this."

"She has such pretty eyes, blonde hair. Now why would I want to stop when I'm having so much fun?"

I sighed, he killed the actual social worker. A protective anxiety rushed over me, I wasn't thinking

"BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT MY AGENT DEAD!!"

There was a moment of silence

"One of the social workers is an FBI agent?"

The audio got broken up, static. I buried my head in my hands, I had just sealed Alena and Spencer's fate.

ALENA'S POV

After a while, Cyrus returned. With another shotgun.

"Which one of you is it?"

I looked at Spencer

"What do you mean?"

He yelled in Spencer's face

"WHICH ONE OF YOU IS THE FBI AGENT?!"

I looked at Spencer, he was trembling. I knew what I had to do, Spencer went to speak but I blurted out

"Me. It's me."

Spencer tried to stop me but Cyrus has already chose to believe me.
