Chapter 1

"Four to five hour trip?" Morgan grumbled. "With Reid?"

"What's wrong with Reid?" Rossi asked, surprised.

"Nothing is wrong him. I would spend my days with him except for his statistics." Morgan explained.

"Morgan, I am not very fond of sending Emily and JJ over there, at this time."Hotch said.

"Point noted." Morgan shrugged. "But if I come back spounting statistics for everything, don't blame me." Morgan chuckled before he walked out of the room to find Reid.

"Head's up, pretty boy, time to move on." Morgan said, while he grabbed Reid's jacket from the chair before he take hold of Reid's arm and dragged him out of the police station.

"I am supposed to help Emily with the geographical..."

Morgan cut in "JJ can help her."

"Where are we going?" Reid asked before he wore his jacket, following Morgan.

"A late lunch date with me."

Morgan stopped as he realized that Reid wasn't following him. He turned behind and laughed hard when he saw Reid's facial expression. "Reid, it was a joke."

"Morgan, I swear to God, if you make any other stupid, lame joke again..."

"What?" Morgan asked, smiling.

"Nothing, Jeez…" Reid shook his head. "Where are we heading, anyway?"

"Mr. Han's house on top of the hill." Morgan answered shortly.

"Seriously? It would take hours." Reid replied.

"That's right." Morgan nodded.

"And you're okay with spending the journey with me? Last time, I heard you hate my statistics." Reid mumbled.

"I got my back up plan." Morgan said before he tossed his car keys to Reid. "You drive."

"You do realize that with me driving the probability…."

"Reid, don't even get there…" Morgan said, opening the door on the passenger side.

"What?" Reid groaned. "It's different from statistics. Probability is commonly known as the likelihood or odds of….

"Get your smart ass in and start driving." Morgan shouted from the SUV.

"It's definitely going to be a lifetime journey." Reid mumbled before walking forward to the driver side.

Almost two and half hours later, Hotch's phone buzzed, snapping him out from his discussion with the rest.

"Morgan…" Hotch answered. "I can't really hear you…."

"Yeah, I know." Morgan almost screamed at the other end. "Look, Mr. Han is not in. The house is empty. We looked around, got a few things, will talk with you guys later about this."

"Okay," Hotch said, pressing the phone harder on his ears. "What's the sound?"

"It's raining like crazy here." Morgan said. "We will be late."

"Morgan, be careful. The roads up there are not really good. Why don't you guys just head up to the hotel straightway, it's getting late anyway. We will meet you guys later in the hotel."

"Roger that." Morgan hung up and looked back Reid. "You want me to drive?"

"I was hoping you to ask that." Reid handed the key back. "On my count, 1…2…3, let's go."

Morgan and Reid ran out from the verandah to their car. It was just a small distances but by the time they were in the car, both were halfway soaked.

"Great!" Reid was frustrated.

"Well, you have to thank me for this." Morgan pulled out his go bag from the back seat. "Take this.' Morgan chucked one of his dark blue T-shirt to Reid, before he took out another T-shirt for himself.

"Thanks." Reid mumbled before he took out his wet sweater vest.

Once both changed briefly, Morgan began to drive back.

"I miss coffee." Reid mumbled, leaning against the window, melting in the cold weather.

Morgan chuckled. "We get one big cup for you once we get back, okay?"

Almost half an hour later, Morgan started to feel odd. "What the hell?"

"Why? What happen?" Reid asked, looking around.

"The car behind us."

Reid took a quick look the car behind them through the side window. "What's with him?"

"He has been following us, he don't even want to overtake us. I am giving him enough space." Morgan kept his eyes on the road.

"Morgan, it's raining like cat and dog, and the road is not that good, maybe the guy is just being careful." Reid reasoned.

"Something is not right." Morgan whispered before he pulled over and parked his SUV on the side.

Following Morgan's act, the black van parked behind them.

"See?" Morgan whispered. "We got company. Call Hotch." Morgan pulled over and started to drive again.

Reid pulled out his phone in a hurry but before he could get his fingers on the keypad, the black van rammed from behind.

The phone slipped down from Reid's hand and he slightly knocked his head on the window.

"What the…" Morgan mumbled.

"Morgan, look out!…." Reid screamed, pointing towards the right hand side but it was just too late for Morgan to respond when another van drive straight to them, colliding with their SUV. The impact sent the SUV further to the left side. Morgan barely pressed his leg on the brake pedal before the car, rammed onto the guardrails and plunge down the hill.

"What's up, Hotch?" Rossi asked, his eyes were scanning through the file.

"They should be back by now." Hotch said, checking his watch again.

"It's raining and besides, they are driving down the hill now, maybe they are taking their own sweet time." Emily reasoned.

"I guess." Hotch whispered, still feeling uncomfortable.

"Let me try Reid, just to be sure." JJ said, pulling out her phone. "I can't reach him."

"I thought the local cops said that we can't get much signal up there." Rossi said again.

"Okay, I might wait for another couple of hours, if I didn't get even at least one miscall from one of them, I am driving up there."

"Agree." Rossi said.

All Reid knew was, the car was rolling down the slope, and nothing else mattered at the moment. Reid has no idea if he would still be alive when the car stopped rolling.

Finally, the car stopped at one moment, but it was upside down and if it wasn't for the seat beat, both Morgan and Reid would have crashed down from their seat.

"Reid? Reid!" Morgan called.

"I am okay." Reid hissed when he touched the side of his head. "You're okay?" Reid asked, looking at Morgan.

"My arm hurts, not broken but it doesn't feel good."

"What?" Reid stuttered as he looked at Morgan.

"Wait a second." Morgan said before he unbuckled his seat beat using his unharmed hand, slowing adjusting himself in the car.

"Reid, don't do that." Morgan warned when Reid wanted to unbuckle his seat beat."Your leg is stuck, I think your ankle is probably broken, man."

Reid looked at his legs; one of it was twisted in different ways. "Now, I know why it hurts so much."

"We need to get out here." Morgan said, winced in pain.

"Yeah? How do we do that?" We don't even know where we are? The last thing I remember, we were rolling down the slope.

"I think we hit the bottom."

"We don't know that…" Reid panicked before his mouth was hanging open.

"Reid? What is it?" Morgan asked.

"Do you hear that?" Reid winced as he moved his leg

"What?" Morgan shook his head.

"It was raining heavily, and our car rolled down the slope…"

"So?" Morgan whispered, trying to identify the sound.

"The rain and our car could have triggered a movement of soil or sediments."

"Shit." Morgan swore when he saw the scene in front of him through the window.

"It's a mudslide." Reid mumbled, his voice was shaking badly. "Coming down … right to us..."

"Reid, get down!" Morgan unbuckled Reid's seat beat, dragged him to the back seat, and both hugged each other before the massive mudflow streamed down, trapping them in their car.

Please review. I hope the story is okay…

Happy New Year...
