TO BE LOVED
:: vi, the byers brothers
( continuation of Death Has Spoken )

It was now seven in the morning at the BAU. No one was nowhere close to figuring out where the boys were. Every other hour they got new leads, but they ended up being dead ends. It was clear to say everyone was frustrated but jj the most. Sure rossi was too, but he believed the boys will make it through to the end.

Jennifer huffed as she left the conference room to the coffee machine and of course emily followed behind. One, she wanted more coffee and two, she wanted to make sure that jj was ok.

"Everything ok?" Emily approached the blonde who stood next to the coffee machine.

She sighed, "It's my fault he got kidnapped. I was suppose to be protecting him, he's a newbie. Now we keep getting at dead ends."

Emily shook her head, "This is anything but your fault. We will find him— them."

Jj had her thinking face on, "Wait— how did they know we were there?"

"They could've been watching you guys that whole time." Emily started placing the pieces together as well.

Emily and jj both shared looks before rushing back to the room and asking Garcia to pull up the surveillance by that 7/11. Once it was pulled up, penelope sped up the video to the right time stamp. Once she found it, she slowed it down and pressed play.

Everyone's eyes scanned the video, looking for something suspicious or out of place. Once jj spotted movement, two people at a distance walking behind Thomas as he was looking for his car— she had hope once again.

She scoffed, mumbling to herself, "Right under our noses."

Thomas was thrown on the floor of a room, a cold room. He had a bag over his head. Once that bag was pulled off, he looked directly in front of him. There sat his brother chained up the wall, like he was now being chained. Thomas just scoffed looking the other direction.

"Thomas?" Dean spoke in a surprised tone. He was shocked to see his brother there and well in the condition he's in. He didn't understand of why these people would want him too. "Why are you here?"

Thomas eyes made their way back to Dean, "I'm wondering the same thing. You lied to me."

Dean shook his head, "What are you talking about?"

"You said you were clean. You're obviously not since we're in this mess." Thomas was quite angry.

"I am. Why would I lie?" Dean spoke with a bit more force, wrapping his hands in the chains to attempt to pull at them.

Thomas just glared at his brother, "I don't know but you seem to be good at it." Thomas watched as his brother pulled and pulled as hard as he could to rip the chains out the wall. All he could think about was that there was no point. As long as they're locked down like this, they had no way of getting out. "Dude, just stop. You're going to hurt yourself."

"At least I'm doing something and not bickering with my brother." Dean spoke the truth.

Thomas sighed, "So what's the plan?"

"Now you trust me?" Dean raised his brows.

"It's either that or we sit here like sitting ducks and die. Again, what's the plan?" Thomas furrowed his brows as he looked straight at his brother.

Sure they have their issues but there's one thing that no one could ever get in the way of— their brotherhood. Brothers by choice, friends by chance.

"So what's the plan?" Morgan ask once the car stopped in Maryland.

"We be as discreet as possible. They can't see us coming." Hotch told the team as they stood a block away from an abandoned building.

The team split into two as they went their separate ways to the building. Garcia was back at the BAU, trying to get into security cameras because if she could access them then that would be a big help. While the team began their rescue mission, the brothers finally got loose from the chains.

Trust me, this building is huge so now they have to find their way out. Since they had no weapons, the only thing they could use were their fists and legs. So, let the games begin.

As the team swarmed the building looking for them, Dean and Thomas were carefully finding their way out. They had no idea the team made it into the building or in fact found them. The team had no idea about the brothers escape, not even the bad guys yet. So when all the power turned off, that's when they knew— that's when everyone knew.

"What now?" Dean whispered towards his brother, "You're the agent."

"We get the hell out of here." Thomas whispered back, "Stay close."

The brothers began to navigate their way out. As they did, the agents began to navigate their way in. The best thing for everyone is to execute their mission and move on but it'll also be helpful if they happened to find each other but since the lights got cut out, that's highly unlikely now.

As the brothers found their way to a stairway, they began to make their way down. Once they stepped on foot level, one of their faces was met with a fist. It was dean's face. As what any brother would do, Thomas began helping his brother. He couldn't see, so he was punching the air. In the midst of said fight, the lights came back on.

It was one of the goons. Thomas sucker punched him so hard, he fell back. That gave him enough time to pick his brother up, quickly search the guy for a gun and a phone, then continue on their way.

As the boys found a temporary hiding spot, Thomas gave the gun to Dean so he could reach someone on the team. Luckily emily gave him her number, so that's who he called.

"Emily? Hey, it's me." Thomas whispered through the phone.

"Hey, where are you? I'm assuming you're free because you have a phone." She spoke on the other line.

"Yeah, I am. I have no idea what level we're on. Are you guys here?" He continued to speak as his brother kept watch.

"Listen carefully, we're somewhere in the building but I'm going to link you with Garcia. She's going to be your eyes. She hacked in the cameras here, so she's going to get you to us." Emily told him and though she couldn't see it, he was nodding as he listened.

Once him and Garcia were on the phone together, she began to guide him and his brother to the team.

After another left turn and a quick right, the boys were reunited with the team, at least half of them thanks to Garcia. Once they were all reunited, they went to go find the other half of the team, again thanks to Garcia.

They all began to make their way out of the building and sure, here and there they ran into complications but it wasn't anything the BAU couldn't handle.

As they approached the exit door, one of the goons came into view. Everyone turned around and the goon pulled the trigger. Thomas saw the bullet was heading towards jj so he jumped in front of her and the bullet hit him in the stomach. He knew it was stupid and he barley knew jj but he also knew he would do anything to make sure nothing happens to her.

Once thomas fell to the floor, morgan shot the goon. Hotch called for an ambulance as Dean and jj were kneeled down next to Thomas. They kept telling him everything would be ok or help's on the way. Sure it's reassuring but when you're at death's door all you can do is wait until your eyes and breathing gives out.
