SPOV
I ran as fast as I could, I needed to get somewhere safe. The only place I knew that I would be safe was Rangeman. I don't know how far I had run; but I knew I couldn't stop or look back. I didn't know if he was following me or not. I didn't want to believe that he was involved in the rapes and murders of prostitutes; I wanted to believe that the TPD and Rangeman were mistaken, but now I knew they were right. When I finally made it to the front doors of Rangeman, I was soaked to the bone from the rain. I burst into the lobby and came to a stop in front of the desk. As soon as I stopped though, my legs gave out, and I crumbled to the floor. I heard Cal yell at me seconds before he grabbed me. I could hear Hal talking on his phone; I assume he was calling Ranger. Minutes later I heard the elevator door ding open and the sound of boots thundering across the lobby. I smelled Bulgari seconds before two arms yanked me away from Cal and pulled me against a hard chest. The instant I was locked in his arms, the floodgates opened, and I began to sob into his chest.
When I finally exhausted myself, Ranger gently lifted me up, and carried me to the elevator. Only then did I realize that Bobby and Tank were there too. I knew that they were going to take me to three to look me over. Once we were in the infirmary, Bobby checked me over, I had no serious injuries, but I was bruised quite a bit. The entire time, Ranger stood by my side holding my hand. I could tell by his grip that he may look calm on the outside, but in the inside he was at a rage, his beast was out for blood. I knew that once Bobby cleared me, he would take me to his office so we could talk.
Sure enough, twenty minutes later, I was sitting on the couch in Ranger's office with him next to me and Tank standing a parade rest at the door. I knew time was up; I had to tell him everything. I looked at him in the eye.
"You were right." I watched as his jaw clenched tighter.
Flashback…..
I had just gotten done for the day. I was at my apartment door, with the key in the lock, when I was grabbed from behind. I was quickly overpowered, then I felt the sting of a stun gun, and everything went black. When I came to, I was on a bed in a small room. There was a figure standing in the corner watching me. I knew it was him just by his scent. I wanted to believe that he wouldn't hurt me, but I knew my hopes were futile. Before I could utter a word, he was on top of me. I knew that he was going to try to rape me, but I couldn't let that happen. I instantly started fighting him. I was able to fight him off but not before he hit me in the face a few times. I knew I had to get away, so I kicked him in the crotch. When he dropped I ran. When I got outside I found I was on Stark Street.
End of Flashback.
As I came back to the present I saw that Tank had Ranger in a headlock, he was talking quietly to him. I had no idea what was going on, but I could tell that Ranger was beyond furious.
"You need to settle down Rangeman, we need to get the evidence before you go off half-cocked. Right now we need to make sure she stays safe, she is the one and only witness to survive this. I know this is hard, but you need to concentrate on Steph right now."He muttered to Ranger. Ranger nodded at his words that he understood, so Tank let him go.
Before anyone could utter another word, Ranger's cell rang. He took it off his belt to check the ID, the look in his face was full of menace.
"Yo."
"Morgan; you are just the man I needed to hear from. I know that you know about this case I have been working on, it has hit way too close to home for us here at Rangeman. We need your help."
"Thanks, Bro. We will need the whole team. We have one surviving witness who is in my protection right now, and it's personal."
"We will see you when you arrive" Ranger growled before snapping his phone closed without waiting for a response.
Tank looks at Ranger with a look on his face.
"BAU on the way?" he asks. I could tell by the look on Tank's face things were gonna get busy around here. From what Ranger just said tells me I am on lock down, but for once I am okay with that. I rest on the couch while we wait for this team to show up.
The hours quickly pass by. Soon there is a knock on the office door. Tank opens the door, and in steps a man who was 6'3" and gorgeous. It seemed to me that all the men that Ranger knew were hot. Then behind him were three more hot men. The four men were followed by three women right behind. The lead man walked up to Ranger.
"My name is Hotch, I am the head of the BAU team, but I am giving the lead to Morgan, since this is a personal matter to him."
Ranger nodded silently. The man I assume is Morgan walked up to Ranger next, they shared a fist bump and man hug. They turned to me, Ranger held his hand to me, which I took. He pulled me to his side.
"Babe, this is Derek Morgan, I have worked with him before, and I feel having him here will help us break this case. He is damn good at profiling, the fact he was a cop helps even more." Morgan gave me a killer smile, which I returned.
"So this is the Babe, I have been hearing about huh?" Morgan smirks.
Ranger raises his eyebrow at Morgan.
"Derek, who on your team is the computer tech? My guy could use help going through all the information we have so far." Morgan nods to one of the women behind him.
"This is Penelope Garcia, she is our computer tech, she can help him with that."
"Tank will take her to the computer lab." Seconds later, Tank led the woman out of the office. Morgan looked at the others.
"We don't need you just yet, so go get settled in." the others left.
"How are you holding up, Ranger?"
"I need to find the evidence so we can put this creep away."
"We will get him. Can I see the computer lab, Bro?" Before Ranger could respond his cell phone rang once again. He growled when he looked at the ID.
"Babe, can you take Derek down to the computer lab." I nod in agreement.
I motion for Morgan to follow me. We head to the elevator, I hit 2. When the doors opened I made my way to the Computer Lab door. As protocol you have to open the door quietly. We stepped in just in time to see Hector give Ms. Garcia a kiss on the temple. I could only smile at the fact that he had done that, he must see the light in her. I look over at Morgan and was shocked to see a look of possessiveness on his face. My mind must not have its filter on because my Jersey attitude came out.
"You can't tell me you are jealous of that!? For God's sake, he would much rather look at your ass instead of hers. You seriously need to pull your head out of your ass where she is concerned and admit how you feel. Do not act like Ranger!"
The look on his face was priceless, he was actually blushing. When I turned around to leave, I walked right into Ranger. I could tell by the look on his face he had heard everything. My face instantly turned red with embarrassment. Without thinking I took off in a run, I didn't bother with the elevator, I took the stairs to the lobby. I ran from the building.
Within minutes of leaving the building, I was grabbed from behind once again…..
