Chapter 8: Home
When the clock hit 8pm, they were in their positions.
Soon a car parked at the abandoned warehouse and a man came out.
Hotch signed an agent to go. The man, Carson, walked out of the car and said "is it her?"
The other man said "identification please"
Agent Carson grabbed a piece of paper and said "12438968493-98"
"Bring her out" the man said with a sick grin. "I think you'll like this one." He added and another man stepped out of the car holding a gun at Chloe's head.
"Give me your papers" the man said. He wanted to confirm. Agent Carson handed it to him and he said "enjoy your girl" and handed Chloe over. The girl just cried. She was terrified. While she was with those men nothing happened, she just stayed with other kids, they didn't do anything and she was now terrified of what the buyer would do to her.
"I will" Carson said and forced Chloe into the car. He buckled her up and whispered "be quiet. It's okay" as he signed to his FBI badge that was on the car's floor.
Chloe couldn't believe. Was she really being saved? She was so scared that she just sat there unable to reacted to it all. Carson got in the car and sprinted off. As he turned the street corner gun shots could be heard as the SWAT team and the FBI arrested those men.
Carson drove to a parking lot and tried to make Chloe get out of the car.
"Come on, we need to move you" he said.
"No please don't hurt me" Chloe said as he tried to pull her out of the car.
"Chloe" someone called.
Chloe froze at the familiar voice. She looked out and saw Emily getting out of a SUV. Chloe jumped out and ran to Prentiss as fast as her legs could go.
"Emi. Emily" Chloe said and bursted into tears. She was shaking and so cold. Emily lifted her up and went back in the car.
"We've got you. It's okay. You're okay" Emily kept repeating as Hotch turned the heater on.
After a while, Carson got a call and went to talk to Hotch. "The arrest is made. One of them died, the other 2 were taken to the station. You guys can go now" he said.
"Did you hear that Chloe? You're going home" Hotch told the girl.
"Thank you" Chloe cried hugging Emily again. "Thank you so much" she said and Emily couldn't help but cry too. But it was happy tears. She was so happy the girl was there and okay.
On the drive back to the BAU, Emily talked to Chloe and the girl explained everything she remembered. All the agents were glad to find out she wasn't hurt physically, all they did to her was sedate her and then they took her to a house. With Chloe's description of what she saw and the men's, that was arrested, confessions the team was able to find the house and luckily all the kids were still there. They found out the young boy died because he had an allergic reaction to the sedative.
.
Hotch was almost 10 minutes away from the BAU when he got the call.
"Are you sure they're all okay?" Chloe asked.
"Yes." Hotch said. "They're okay" Hotch smiled. Chloe remembered Bella talking about how he rarely ever smiled so she couldn't help but smile too.
"We'll be at the bureau soon. Your mom is anxiously waiting for you." Hotch said.
Chloe rested on Emily, finally feeling safe again.

While that happened....
At the BAU, Bella was so scared that her parents were out there and they were taking so long. She tried to take deeps breaths but it got to a point where she couldn't take it anymore.
"JJ" the girl said with such a sad voice that broke JJ's heart.
"Yes sweetheart?" JJ asked.
"I don't feel good" Bella said holding her tears in.
"Everything is going to be okay." JJ said.
"Why are they taking so long? What if something happened to them?!" Bella asked.
"They went to get Chloe. They are okay. Your parents are okay, I promise" JJ said.
"I don't feel so good. I can't breathe right" Bella said scared as many tears started rolling down her cheeks.
"It's okay sweetheart, they're coming back soon" JJ said.
"I can't breathe" Bella cried. Reid who was sitting at the table just keeping them company ran to her.
"I think she's having a panic attack" Reid said worried.
"I want my mom" Bella cried.
"Calm down. Take deeps breaths. They'll be here soon" JJ said making Bella sit up straight and rubbing soothing circles on the girl's back.
Bella couldn't take it anymore.
"I want Penny!" She desperately cried.
"She's working honey. Stay here with me" JJ said trying to make Bella rest on her again.
"No. let me go" Bella cried.
"I'll stay with her in there" Reid said and JJ let Bella go. The kid was crying so much that Reid simply picked her up and carried her to Garcia's office without her saying another word.
.
"What happened?" Penelope asked worried when they arrived.
"She wants you" Reid explained and let Bella down. The kid quickly went to Penelope's arms.
"I can't breathe right" Bella said.
"I'm right here with you" Garcia said making Bella rest on her chest as she moved her chair side to side. "It's okay pumpkin. Aunt Penny is here. This feeling will go away. You're okay" Penelope kept saying.
Bella started to calm down but she couldn't keep the tears from falling.
After some time she was calmer so Garcia told her to sit with Reid on her couch for a while so Bella went and Spencer wrapped her in his arms. About 10 minutes later Garcia got a call from Derek and they could finally breathe.
"We've got her. She's okay" Morgan said.
"You found her?!" Bella said getting up.
"She's okay and We'll be there soon, baby girl" Derek said happy with the outcome.
Bella ran to the conference room as fast as she could. She opened the door and the tears that rolled down her cheeks were of pure joy.
"They found her! She's okay" Bella said excited.
Hilary ran to her and they hugged.
"She's coming home" Bella cried.
Hilary let go and wiped the girl's face. "Yeah" she laughed. "She's coming home" Hilary smiled and hugged Bella again.
JJ and Reid were crying too.
At Hotch's office Penelope delivered the good news. Everyone was so happy Chloe was okay.
"Where's Bella?" Gavin asked Garcia.
"She's in the conference room. You guys can go there. It's okay. Come on, follow me" Penelope said and everyone followed her, including Colette and Millie, who was now fully awake. They walked in the conference room and Gavin ran and hugged Bella.
"They saved her" he said and Bella smiled.
Hilary picked Millie up and hugged her tight.
"Is Chloe back?" Millie asked.
"She'll be here soon" JJ said with a smile.
"Thank you. All of you. Thank you so much" Hilary told Garcia, JJ and Reid.

After a 30 minute drive, they finally parked the car and walked inside of the BAU. Emily held Chloe's hand tight and soon the elevator door opened. Everyone was anxiously waiting for them at the bullpen.
Hotch held the glass door and Chloe and Emily walked in. Hilary ran to her daughter and hugged her very very tight.
Everyone in that room was crying.
"Are you okay?" Hilary asked her.
"Yes" Chloe said.
"Are you hurt? Did they hurt you?" She asked.
"No mommy I'm okay." Chloe smiled. Hilary hugged her again. "Your friends are here" Hilary said and let go of Chloe. The girl ran to her friends and they had a group hug. Even Mazzy was crying.
"Where's Rose?" Chloe asked. "Is she okay?"
"She has a concussion but she'll be okay" Gavin said. Bella hugged her again.
"I'm so happy you're here" Bella said.
"You might want to thank your family for that." Chloe smiled and Bella smiled back and they hugged again.
Hilary turned to Emily and hugged her.
"Thank you so much" she said. "I don't even want to think of what could have happened if you..." Hilary tried to say but cried.
Emily was speechless, she just hugged Hilary and let her cry.
Chloe walked to where the entire team was standing, and Hilary let go of Emily to watch what her daughter was going to do.
"thank you for saving my life" Chloe said.
Derek gave her a hug.
"Dinner at our house?" Derek said and everyone laughed.
Bella smiled and suddenly her eyes met her mother's and she ran to her.
"Thank you" Bella said and Emily picked her up. "Thank you for bringing her back, mom" she cried.
"You're welcome" Emily smiled. "Everything is okay now" she said and Bella looked at her and nodded. "I love you" Emily said.
"I love you too" Bella said.
"I think this day is calling for pizza" Chloe said and everybody laughed.
"Pizza will be" Derek said.
Everyone went to get their things so they could go. Hotch walked to Emily and said "good job out there today, Agent"
Emily smiled and Bella smiled too. Hotch went to his office while the team got ready to leave.
"Who needs a ride?" Derek asked.
"I do" Reid and Penelope said in unison.
"Let's go" Derek said.
Emily put Bella down and everyone walked to the elevator. They went to the parking lot and got in their cars and drove to Emily's house. Soon they walked in and went to the living room. JJ called Rose's mother to let her know Chloe was okay and then called Will so he could go to Emily's house. Soon they arrived and joined the celebration. Chloe didn't leave her mother's side and everyone was very happy the girl was safe and okay.
Derek ordered pizza and then Bella went to talk to him. He picked her up and asked if she was okay.
"I'm okay now" Bella said.
"Reid said you had a panic attack again" he said and she looked down. "Was it a bad one?" He asked and she nodded and hid her face on his neck.
Emily saw and walked to them.
"But you're okay now" Derek said.
"Yes" Bella said sounding like she was crying.
"Oh princess. It's over now" Derek said running his hand on her back.
Emily got there and Derek pulled her to them wrapping one arm around her.
Bella looked at her mom and said "I'm glad we're all okay now"
"Yeah" Derek smiled and kissed her cheek.
"We're okay" he said as he watched his living room full of people who were talking and laughing.
People happy to be together and okay.
And right there in his arms were the two most important people in his life. Right at that moment he saw he didn't want anything else, he didn't need anything else.
And he knew exactly what to do.
