Black Out Days ~ Phantogram

Dig a hole
Fireworks exploding in my hands
If I could paint the sky
Would all the stars be shining bloody red?

A blurred figure approached Amaria and Seirra. He said something but it didn't register in her mind. The only thing she really undeestood the word 'Dad' "Dad would always put me in that red car...I HATED that red car..." Amaria stated dissociatively. The man crouched down so that Amaria could see him. He grabbed her hands. "Amaria, I'm Agent Aaron Hotchner, I know you're in shock right now, but it's going to be okay..." Aaron stated comfortingly.

"I would always try and get out of the car but the door was locked..." She continued. "Am I a bad person Agent Hotchner?" Amaria asked as she looked at him and finally acknowledged her presence. "No, no Amaria, you've done nothing wrong sweetheart..." Aaron assured. Amaria hugged Agent Hotchner tightly and began to release the tears she'd held back.

The rest of the BAU arrived at the scene. Jason introduced himself before asking where the Agents that were running the OP were. The cop that was blocking off the Hotel directed the BAU in the correct direction. "Hello, I'm Jason Gideon, are you in charge of this operation?" Jason inquiried.

"Uh, no, the uh-...the Agent that's running the operation ran into the building actually..." Myllie said with annoyance on her face. "MATHIAS DID WHAT?!" Antonio yelled from behind Myllie. Myllie squeezed her eyes shut and sighed, she did not get paid enough for this...

"She went into the building?!" Antonio inquiried once more. "Yes sir." Myllie confirmed as she turned her body to face his direction. "And you let her?!" He asked with displeasure. "No sir, I wasn't aware of her intentions sir..." Myllie answered. Antonio noticed that Myllie's gun was missing.

"Where's your gun Agent?" He asked, he looked as if he was on the verge of a melt down."Mathias took it sir..." Myllie explained nervously. "You gave her your gun?!" He asked with anger. "Well technically she took it from m-" Antonio cut Myllie off. "Yes, or no Agent!" Myllie sighed exasperatedly. "Yes sir." Myllie confirmed.

Antonio ran his hand down his face before resting it back on his hip and angrily yanking his two-way radio out of his belt. "Agent Mathias come in." Antonio whispered, his voice crackling through on Mathias end of the radio. "I'm kinda busy right now..." Mathias said in a very hushed voice as she turned the corner with her gun infront of her.

She did a 360, clearing that room, before moving on to the next. It was hard to see;the swat team blacked out all the windows and cut the power and it was already past 10:00 PM. S.W.A.T had night vision goggles, Mathias did not. She did however have a little light on her gun that she used to get around.

"May I?" SSA Hotchner asked as he took the two-way radio from Stadford's hand without waiting for a response. "Agent Mathias, I have an Agent in the building I need you to evacuate him." SSA Hotchner stated. "Uh-huh, will do, as soon as I find Alexi..." Mathias replied as she crouched over the dead body of one of Alexi's men.

He tried to sneak up on her but she got the upperhand and shot him. She took her weapons and vest. He had an automatic rifle and a few knives which may come in handy. Mathias pocketed the knives in the small comoartments in the vest and but her gun in the waist band of her pants. "That wasn't a request." SSA Hotchner stated angrily.

"Oh I'm sure you don't want it to be, but if I remember correctly, I do outrank you." Mathias quipped."You're right you do outrank me, but my Agent is in there, he's unarmed, and doesn't have training, if someone finds him that's not a freindly he could get killed." SSA Hotchner explained. "You had me at unarmed." Mathias replied.

"Description?" Mathias asked. "White male, around 6'2, thin, brunette gelled down hair, early twenties, but he looks like he's twelve." Aaron described. Amaria laughed a bit. "So, bassically he looks Alfalfy from Little Rascals..." Amaria joked.

Reid breathed heavily from the closet. He tried to study his breathing but he couldn't. He was terrified. He heard shuffling outside the closet. The door swung open, it was Alexi. The man grabbed Reid by the arm and threw him from out of the closet.

"You're the Agent that snuck in here huh?" The man asked rhetorically. "Search him will you?" Alexi ordered. One of his men searched Reid for weapons. "He's clean boss." The man stated."Now...why would they send you in without a weapon...?" Alexi asked while crouching down to Reid's level on the floor.

"I-I-I'm n-not with the CIA, I swear. I wasn't sent here to arrest you." Reid stammered, it was mostly the truth. He was only there to inform the hotel to keep watch of anyone who rented out a room on the twentieth floor that matched the profile. He knew he shouldn't tell him that he was with the FBI or else his chances of surviving would get even lower.

Alexi spotted Reid's keycard and took it. "Spencer Reid FBI, with the Behavioral Analysist Unit. So much for not being here to arrest me." Alexi looked at him and laughed. "You're all alone in the building full of terrorists...they left you here all alone..." Reid knew that wasn't true but he was still absolutely petrified.

They knew he worked for the FBI, and with Alexi's hatred with government workers Reid was most likely going to die. Something fell from around the corner. Alexi snapped his head in the direction of the noise. "Watch him." Alexi commanded as he rose from his crouched position and walked around the corner.

Mathias dropped from the vent she had his in and landed on the ground with a bit of a thud. Albeit was louder than she'd hoped. She threw her flashlight on the floor a few feet away from her true position. It was a classic, but it never failed her. Mathias saw one Alexi's men standing over a thin man with hair gelled down hair.

Mathias cautiously crept behind Alexi's gaurd. She took the end of the rifle she had in her hand. He fell to the ground with a loud thud and in effect shortening her time frame. "Come on." Mathias said while ushering him to get up. Reid looked at her distrustingly, and crawled back a bit.

To be fair he was just being held at gun point not even a minute ago. "Look I'm with the CIA okay, I'm not here to hurt you. I'm Amaria Mathias." Mathias said softly. "P-Prove it..." Reid stuttered. "I'll pull out my badge okay." Mathias said as she slowly put the rifle she had in hand on the ground and tossed Reid her badge. Reid fumbled as he tried to catch her badge but it fell from his grasp.

Reid looked at Mathias credentials carefully. They were authentic. Reid gave her back her badge and got up. "C'mon lets go Alfalfy I've still got a terrorist to catch." Mathais said as she picked up the rifle. Reid looked behind Mathias and his eyes grew wide. Mathias felt the barrel of the gun on the back of her head and heard the gun click.

Speak of the devil and he shall apear.
