Immy: O.o''

Amber covered her mouth with wide eyes as soon as the sounds were heard. The first thing she did was save all of the photos, then she unplugged her computer and plopped down into the chair. What.. the hell? Next thing she knew, the alarm system of the house was blarring and Amber jumped up from her chair. Her heart was pounding in her chest so hard it hurt. She was scared. She quickly picked up her phone and dialed Rane as fast as she could. Despite the security, Amber found herself at gun point and unable to do anything at all except stare at the person in front of her.

Nova_Alchemist: Gotta keep you surprised ;)
YAY THIS IS AWESOME!

Rane noticed her emergency alarm went off on her phone indicating a break in. She never had one like that before "Motherhouse call all agents and alert them we need them in battle! Now!" "Confirmed. Completed."

Rane Text to all phones: INTRUDER ALERT - DANGER - POSSIBLE AGENT IN HOSTAGE

It was pre set up when she accepted the job. Rushing there she hopped on her bike until she realized someone slashed the tires. "Shit. I don't have time to go all Robin on this!" She ran to Hotch's house knocking on it roughly waiting for him to open. Hopefully he would be quick at getting there. "HOTCH" she called out figuring it was best to ask for help rather than just do it herself which could get messy or well...might slow her down more. Even if she ran she couldn't get there in time.

Reid got his message as he jolted out of his sleep, Morgan and Penelope had the same reaction as Penelope started to link them through their phones. Rossi jumped up and was ready to go knowing the address at hand already through a link through the text.

Immy: whoo~
i'm just goin' with it x3

Aaron was quick to react when he heard knocking on his front door, mostly to keep his wife and son from waking. He unlocked the door and opened it to see Rane standing on his porch. He had already gotten the text, and grabbed his keys and his gun. He locked the door and pressed a button on his keys to unlock his van. "Have you heard from Amber?" He asked her as he headed to his van and opened the driver side. He was ready to go.

---

Amber was quick to take off her shoes threw them at the intruder as hard as she could, before bolting into the kitchen. The intruder followed after her and tried to grab her, but she was quick to grab the tea kettle and also throw it at the current threat. When her phone began to ring she answered it and mashed the speaker phone before dropping her phone due to the intruder getting up and fired off a couple of shots at her.

Nova_Alchemist: I had whiskey might not last much longer so this will be my final post. Sorry. I-okay i lost track of my thoughts while drinking. Cannot focus and DAMNIT. my brother used my phone earlier for a game, played youtube and turned the volume up. so when it ran out of battery i turned it back on after plugging it in and it set of my adams family theme song for my notifications and my cat game freakin loud. I can't enter my code fast enough while everyone is sleeping. XS I'm gonna strangle the kid lol

She followed after Hotch relieved he got there fast enough and answered "She tried calling me but nothing on the other side would prove anything. We need to get their asap, my bike tires were slashed." Talking now into her phone "Motherhouse put guards at every house for backup and roofsteppers in place." Roofsteppers was her term for snipers just in case the team's families were in trouble. "When I gave those keys away I didn't think it would be this soon. "Motherhouse, intruder alert, navigate saferoute and seal the innocent within the house. Immediately!"

(okay i may post one more this is getting fun XD) we shall see.

Immy: this is probably my last post anyway lol
i should habe gone to bed like an hour ago xD

Aaron slammed his door shut and turned the key in the ignition before switching on his siren lights and speeding down the road and towards their apartment. He opened up his phone when it rang and hear Morgan speak first. "Is everyone alright? Where are we headed Hotch?" He asked, having already shaken off his sleep. Aaron gave him the address. "Someone broke into Rane's appartment. She's with me, but Amber isn't. She tried calling Rane but it didn't have time to connect."

Amber noticed the house security started acting up and a trap door opened up underneath her, which she fell into dodging bullets and it closed up again. Landing on something hard, probably wood or something else under the house. Where was she, the basement? No.. The space wasn't big enough to be a basement. She placed a hand over her side, which was bleeding some and cursed under her breath when she didn't see her phone.

Nova_Alchemist: if you ever saw smarthouse this is where my idea originated years ago and i thought it would be cool if I designed my own house XD lol and security system. Okay was going to bed after this XD

Rane said one final thing before hanging up the phone "View mode - Phone" with that she was able to pull up her security feed seeing the intruder on the screen. Though they were covered up you couldn't see much. "Motherhouse, innocent is safe correct?" "Correct" "Initiate knock out" "Understood" on the screen she couldn't see Amber and hoped she wasn't in too bad of shape. She did notice the person with the gun being gassed out by knock out gas and all the windows and doors sealed and shut "Blood Moon" was her final code that meant to lock everything down and make sure to apprehend the person. All handles on the doors would be jolted with electricity as the house stayed silent. Windows had fiberglass used instead of regular glass so not easily breakable in anyway. The future would create a large static electricity around the place to distract the person to try and grab onto things.

Immy: not going to even pretend to follow what the house just did lol
I still think her mother would fit perfectly as the one who attacked the people in the chat room, since she is crazy out of her mind xD and we could do something with that, if that were the case

Just thinking out loud lol

So, everyone met up at Rane and Amber's apartment after a short amount of time and who ever had intruded was laying on the floor near a window since they tried to escape when the house went on lockdown after being exposed to knock-out gas. Hotch parked the van and quickly killed the engine before getting out and readying his gun just in case.

Nova_Alchemist: Well HAI there. i have wine in a can :P it works.

Rane (I almost typed Ahna XD) went in front of him, she wasn't worried about intruders or enemies right now. There was someone in her house that wished to do Amber wrong by harming her and she wasn't going to have that. A light scans Rane from head to toe asking for the new security code "Alkametta" Rane spoke simply as the code worked and the apartment turned off lock down mode. "Motherhouse where is Amber?" "In the Safe Zone" "Bring her back out gently please"

The motherhouse (keep trying to type motherboard) did as programmed and Amber somehow fell from the ceiling right onto the couch softly. Rane saw the intruder "You got handcuffs on you Hotch?" she figured he did but by the time she'd run off to find her rope or whatever, he would have the suspect in custody. The team came in shortly after they both did as Rane walked to the fireplace pulling out a first aid kit she hid.

It looked like a large chest until she opened it revealing stuff to bandage someone up with. Passing off the first aid kit to Reid, she took notice of who the intruder was "Hey Reid, isn't that...?" Rane didn't have to say it fully as Reid finished her words "Mary Glysin, Karen's mother." Reid confirmed it. She was currently out cold so Rane went to kneel by her. "Oh this better be worth it" She mumbled "Motherhouse shut the front door" She commanded as it did such. "I'm never going to get used to that am I?" Rossi asked Morgan who just agreed with him "Nope and neither am I." Garcia was there too, it seemed everyone came to the rescue call.

Reid looked at Amber's hand making sure to clean it of anything first "This is going to sting a bit" he said before applying antiseptic on it to cleanse it.

Immy: lol
By the way, her hand is fine x3 her side was hit when Mary fired the gun xc

Hotch quickly followed Rane into the house when it was 'safe' and the first thing he did was kneel down next to the unconscious woman and wasted no time in handcuffing her. "We'll find out when she wakes up." He voiced. Hotch had Morgan help him with getting Mary into the back of the van so he could take her back to the BAU.

Amber was wondering what the hell happened. First she was getting shot at, the the house opened a trap door under her, and now she was on the couch. It didn't register that Reid had warned her before he started cleaning her hand. It wasn't bad, but it still hurt like hell. "Hey, Rossi, I managed to find something. Sent it to my phone, but I dropped it in the kitchen." Everything from the blog chat was on her phone.

Nova_Alchemist: I swear it said hand. XD

Reid then noticed her side and went to check on it, the reason there was blood on her hand a bit was because she must've touched her side in the process. Reid kept his focus as he bandaged her up if needed be.

Rane went to look around the kitchen for the phone, the house didn't do everything for her. But this was her 'safe' house so of course she'd use it when she wasn't there too. Finding the phone under the counter a bit she picked it up "Looks a bit smashed I see." She held up the half damaged phone "Any chance you used a computer to process this all?" Rane asked remembering she was on a computer when she came in.

Immy: lol

Amber was careful to stay very still while Reid bandaged her up. She tried to focus something else, just when Rane spoke. "Yeah.." She called to her. "I had it sent from my computer. Just plug it back in." She said. "I got it. " Rossi spoke up, approaching the computer desk and hooked the desktop back up. "Garcia, have at it." He said before glancing at Amber. "You sit there until the ambulance gets here." Garcia sat in the chair and turned on the computer, then went looking around to find whatever what she had found. Amber did as she was told and stayed put. "I found Karen's old blog site, there were some people really worried about her and wanted to talk. I didn't tell them anything about being an agent..and before long comes else, pretending to be Karen said something. After that... Their pictures popped up and then I heard struggles. I unplugged my computer after that. I saved it all though." She said.

"Found something." Garcia spoke, first pulling up the old article on Karen's mother.

Nova_Alchemist: oh gawd my mother is one of her moods >.<

Rane glanced at Amber "Very unwise to unplug a computer, next time you freak out just use the hard shut down button used to turn the computer on with. You could've erased all the date not only that but destroyed the computer." Not that Rane minded but she didn't like misuse of electronics. She wasn't mad though just slightly annoyed. "Alright what did you find Queen Bee?" Rane asked talking to Garcia about the article.

She slipped out of the room to go talk to Hotch and Morgan though instead of staying around to hear it out. She'll over hear it later on from Amber or someone else. Sending a text to Hotch she said:

[Now that she isn't in the house and the father is still in Jail, we should probably check the house out first thing in the morning. I doubt Amber will be up for par for this evening unless you think it's safer to go now. She might be okay with it now that the mother is out of the house. But my question is: Would she have set the house up for a trap?]

Rane went back inside passing the others and changing quickly into another outfit taking a bookbag with her. She wore an all black outfit almost looking like something a vigilante would wear but they had none in the city so it would be odd or not seen. She wore a belt around her waist that didn't shift when she walked, it was meant not to make any sound so she couldn't be heard even at the slightest. Though silence wasn't always her strongest part. She walked past the others and out the door.

She had an extra bike left over but it was for her nightly fun from her old job as she stuck on her helmet. She needed to figure out if the house would be booby trapped or not before the others would get there. What if it exploded with landmines? What if there was trip wires or a bad home alone set up? or a sneaky one at that? She revved her engine but had to let her baby warm up first before leaving.

Immy: >.<

Amber bit the inside of her cheek when Rane got onto her. She knew that already, and she had taken precautions to protect her computer, but she was right. Garcia continued to look in the computer, her way, after Rane went outside.

---

Hotch had gotten to the local jail and had some officers take Mary inside for lockup. When he got the text, he pulled out his phone and read the text and texted back:

[After this, I'd rather keep Amber with us for now. Reid called an ambulance just to get her checked out. Do what you need to, or think is necessary before the team gets over there.]

Nova_Alchemist:

An idea occurred to Rane while she texted back to Hotch.

[Hey make sure she is in a protected cell, who knows which inmates are going to know her husband and will do his or her dirty work for them. Don't need no deaths on us right now, it would make this even more difficult. If you need me, text, I never answer calls unless I'm just not doing anything.]

Rane started her bike going for the drive that it was going to take her to get to the woman's house once more. Right on the edge of the house she stopped while staring up at the old place. Secluded, quiet, hidden, and very easily missed if not paying attention. Not big but not small either, not unless those floor plans she saw was going to suggest there was more than meets the eye there.

- - - - - - - - - -

An ambulance showed up going upstairs to the right door that was still left open from Rane "Someone called an ambulance?" the EMT asked as he looked around, he noticed Reid wave him over as he helped to bandage the wound.

Rane texted Rossi: [Hey can you guys hang with Amber for a bit, keep her safe? I'm going M.I.A. for a bit. If you need me text me, I'm not sure if I'll respond but I'll try to if I can.]

Immy: I think Amber's almost as bad Reid as far getting hurt or out in dangerous positions x.x

Aaron (sorry I keep switching between first and last names x.x) glanced at the text when his ring beeped and texted back:

[Already thought of that, don't worry.]

He had told the officers when they arrived to do so, just avoid any problems.from the husband or inmates. Now, he was on his way to the apartment to check on things. He got a phone call from his wife, asking where he was. He explained to her that his new agent had gotten attacked and an EMT was in its way. Of course, she worried and asked if the girl was alright and such since she new she was young. He tried explaining that she was alright but Hailey (I think that's her name) wasn't buying it, so he spent time on the phone with her.

---

Amber bit the inside of her cheek some and was careful to hold still. Garcia managed to find the convo from the blog site, and the pictures. "Oh my god.." She murmured quietly, causing Derek to act and went over to her. "What'd you find sweetness?" He asked curiously, knowing that voice. "We need to get back to the bau and I need to run a profile on these photos to get their addresses, stat." Derek nodded and they left in a hurry.

David checked his phone when it sounded and replied quickly,
[Do what you need to. Garcia and Morgan are heading back to the bau, Reid and I will stay here. Hotch should be back soon as well.]

Nova_Alchemist: its alright. Honestly i'm not bothered by the name switch, look at me typing rane and ahna XD
(Yeah I think it was Hailey)

[Good, Going on radio silence]

Rane texted David one last time and left her phone on the bike, no need to trigger anything if that was the case. Rane pulled out gadgets out of her book bag and scanned over the yard on what appeared a tablet. Glancing on the map she saw nothing that was explosive at least not before the house. She put it back in her bag and left it by her by while going up the driveway. So far nothing however in her line of work you always had to expect something. Looking through the windows cautiously she explored the outer part of the house and made her way back to the front door. Tapping it for a moment to see if anything would trigger something...nothing...maybe she was wrong. There were no wires, no explosives, nothing she could find.

Picking the lock able to get it open in under two minutes she opened the door walking inside seeing the house was closed up. Which meant the mother was away since the last time they saw her. Rane headed to each of the rooms: Kitchen, Living room, family room, upstairs - bedrooms (all 3 or 4 of them) and even the attic. The only thing she didn't check was the basement. The most obvious choice she should have checked first but its best to make sure everything was safe first. Standing in front of it, it had several locks on it. This was going to take some time to unlock each one of them.

It took her twenty minutes to go through each lock except now even with them unlocked she had a problem. There was a coded keypad staring right back at her. It was a machine but it looked like eyes to her which made her feel it was rather creepy. Rane tried the mother's birthday, the father's, and even Karen's with what Penelope told her. Nothing worked.

[INCORRECT BEEP]

[INCORRECT BEEP]

[INCORRECT BEEP]

Hm...going to need to figure this out before an alarm is tripped she figured this alarm made me sound activated so she kept quiet as she could while trying a few more codes. The final warning appeared.

[INCORRECT BEEP] [FINAL WARNING: IF FAIL THIS ATTEMPT ALL THREATS WILL BE NEUTRALIZED]

'And I thought my technology was creepy at times, well its not like freddy fazbear is gonna jump out and scare me' She thought to herself as she tried to focus, her phone was outside so there was nothing she could do about asking for help. So much for good ideas for staying alive and being on radio silence. Rolling her eyes she tried one more as she typed in [Amber]

[INCORRECT BEEP & SILENCE]

Staring at the keypad she thought maybe it was a loose wire that nothing helped but as she reached for the door knob two hundred volts of electricity surged from her hand throughout her entire body sending her brain into shock mode. Letting go of the knob she falls back collapsing to the ground unconscious. She didn't think that all the way through, must be getting sloppy in her line of work. Then again who would trap their house like home alone to catch the bad guys.

(HERE WE GO: WHAT DO YOU THINK? lol)

Immy: nice, but I don't know how well I keep playing the team x.x
Brain isn't wanting to work b/c of my cold xc

Derek stayed with Garcia as she hurried to her computer room and hacked into Amber's computer so she could get those files again, since she had forgot to send them and the convo to her e-mail in her panic. Once she pulled.up the pictures, she worked her magic and managed to find their houses. Morgan called it in and had teams of officers and ambulances sent to their locations for a body pickup, but one of them managed to survive the attack by playing dead. She was hurt really bad and immediately taken to the hospital.

---

Aaron got off the phone with his wife and joined the three back in the house, immediately questioning Amber on why she had gone snooping around without telling anyone, causing Amber to raise her head. "I wasn't snooping, Hotch. I just remembered that Karen mentioned a blog site to me and went to check it out, I wasn't expecting a chat room to happen."

"If you would've told us, Garcia could have looked into it. Safely. And this wouldn't have happened. Those people you were talking to might not have been targeted." He spoke bluntly and in a time that showed his displeasure. "Aaron!" David snapped, his eyebrows deeply furrowed. "Let's talk outside." He suggested , and the two went outside to 'talk'. Amber was clearly shocked that he had lost his cool and actually said something like that. She lowered her head and bit the inside of her cheek.

Nova_Alchemist: Got It!

The EMT finished up before Aaron had came back into the room luckily and had left. Reid sat next to Amber trying to calm her down from his boss' outburst as such. "You'll have to ignore him, he feels like every innocent is a part of the team. So if they get hit, then its like losing one of us." Derek was consoling Garcia telling her it was quite alright and nothing to worry about.

Rane sat up after about twenty minutes shaking her head "Damnit, stupid piece of..." she started mumbling as she yanked the thing off the door that was built on top of but not inside. That wasn't the first time she had been electrocuted and it had been quite some time since it happened like that. It took Rane some time but she was able to finally locate how to open the door, there was no code it was just a distraction and intruder defense system to confuse someone from getting inside.

Walking down the steps she took notice of how nicely put up everything was, it was a bedroom...no...a tomb and there was...a romeo and juliet looking girl laying on a slab in a beautiful dress. The appearance matched the girl in the bedroom upstairs (Karen's bedroom). Rane felt disoriented, something about this room was off. Her mind wandered as she realized the room was gassed to make others sleep...for how long and how strong was it? Could she withstand it with her training? Looking at her hands she realized there was a watch on her wrist which meant she could signal a location beam even this far down. She took it off fumbling with it and pressed the button. This sent an emergency notification to her apartment.

-------------------

[WARNING! WARNING!] A text went straight to Aaron's phone indicating trouble [Help Needed. Basement Level. Be Cautious]

That was Rane's emergency text signal which would show her location if she ever thought over her head. She couldn't believe she was this stupid to forget that humans are smarter than they appear. She was human to but in her line of training they were taught not to be...filled with emotions which is how you are considered human in the first place. Rane realized if she left the door opened the others would get caught up in this too. She walked clumsily and slowly up the steps shutting it just in time to stumble backwards. Able to walk a few steps she then landed on the floor watching the room spin. Lately she had stopped all her training, trying to forget it all, and now this happens.

Rane - Flashback

"GET BACK! RUN! RUN NICHOLE! RUN!" A man in his early fifties called out as the house was engulfed in flames.

Immy: thanks :)

Amber shook her head and sighed. "What if he's right though? The last thing I ever wanted was to get anyone hurt.. " She murmured quietly. She felt horrible, and surely she was dancing on thin ice now.

While David was calming down Aaron, Aaron's got a text and he quickly looked at it. "It's an sos from Rane. She went to the house and must have found something." He said before hurrying to the van. David opened the door. "You kids stay here, Aaron and I will be back shortly." He said, then joined Aaron and he drove to the house.

Nova_Alchemist: i misspelled your username 3 times XD

Reid hugged Amber "It's alright, this was bound to happen one way or another. By what Garcia said and what you found it sounds as though she was already off her rocker. Do you want me to get you something to drink or stay here?" he asked still hugging her.

Rane on the other hand realized the basement smelled of lavender, the one that truly was strong enough to knock her out. Lavender was a main sleep aid for most people with insomnia and even stronger for those without insomnia, but it was mixed with something else. Something that could make it more potent/dangerous in this quantity. Rane pushed herself up against a wall in the corner and sat there. She was going in and out of consciousnesses, she loved lavender's scent but hated the affects. She had to find a way to release it before the others got there. She hoped the door would stay locked again and they wouldn't be able to enter.

[FLASHBACK]

A young woman looking like Rane knelt on the ground unable to move as the house burned. Without saying anything she took off running down the street for seven miles hardly stopping and taking all the back roads she could to avoid people. Crying was a weakness and that was what was happening at this moment.

Immy: lolz, I've done that

Amber rested against him lightly as he hugged her. "Just, stay right here.." She pulled back from his hug some and sighed quietly. "I hope Rane and the others will be alright.." Just then, the chat room of the blog site opened up, but it was a video call, or a message, and Garcia would see it as well, since she was tapped into Amber's computer. It was Rose, contacting her from the hospital. "Angel, are you alright? I heard the others didn't make it..but..well, I'm okay, and hopefully so are you.. Find Karen. Please.." She said before the call ended. Garcia was slightly stumped, and tried calling David or Aaron.

---

Aaron arrived at Karen's house pretty soon since it wasn't far, and the duo went into the house cautiously. Aaron had David help him with opening the windows since something immediately smelt too strong for anyone's sake. What ever it was, it couldn't be good. "Rane!" David called after getting the windows opened. Him and Aaron cautiously headed towards the lower level of the house.

Nova_Alchemist:

The door was shut and seemed to be locked back into place. Rane kept having flash backs off running, constantly running and she couldn't remember where. She thought she heard something but lavender was stronger than her mindset even though she tried to stand. It didn't work and she knew she wouldn't be moving any time soon. The door's keypad was off but there still could have been a way to open the door. The question was how.

Garcia contacted Rossi as he answered talking to her about the odor within the house. "Garica there is a strong flowery odor going throughout the house and an electronic door that won't open. Any idea on how to open it?" "I don't know, show me" Rossi took a few picture and she ran over it "The keypad is gone so try opening the door but be careful." Rossi heard her say "Alright, we'll just try opening it." Rossi said as he hung up his cellphone. "She said it should just be unlocked." He reached for the handle turning it as he opened it quickly covering his mouth. "The smell is strongest here."

Immy: Like what I did there? :p I figured that rose girl would've done something like that, since she was involved as well

Aaron nodded to David and covered his mouth with part of his blazer when David went to open the basement door.

---

Amber was starting to feel a little antsy and found herself glancing around the room for no real reason.

(Bleh x.x)

Nova_Alchemist: yes I did, works out good to prove that one of them was alive.

Reid had wandered out of the room only to return with an old game board "Would you like to play checkers to pass the time?" it was too simple for him but he figured it might distract her.

Once the door was open the scent that got closed up again pushed it's way out of the basement and Rossi hit the switch for the attic fan halfway down the hallway. Rane was asleep on the floor, no more flash backs, no thinking, just constant numbness. Rossi went down the steps first after a minute making sure it was being pulled out through the windows. He checked Rane's vitals realizing she was fine "Looks like she's only asleep." Rossi didn't notice the other girl laying on the slab like bed covered in lavender around her body.

Immy: ^~^

Amber blinked and looked at him. "Wouldn't chess be better for our minds?" She asked curiously, then pointed to a bookcase "There's a chessboard over there by the bookcase." She said with a light smile. Both of them were a little too smart and observant to be playing checkers.

---

Aaron lowered his blazer once David had turned on the fan and sighed at David's words. "Get her in the van, we'll take her home." He said, glancing up and noticing the girl on the slab. Their victim. "Change of plans, take her upstairs and lay her on the couch." He pulled out his phone and called for an ambulance.
