Genre: Crossover, Angst, hurt/comfort
Part 1
Sitting on blood covered sheets, a cut bleeding on his arm a pale, naked, sweat drenched Kris stared defiantly at someone off screen. There was a creak before two white muscular legs appeared in the frame shortly before a naked Adam was thrown on the floor next to him. The unknown legs disappeared off screen followed by a creak and the slam of a door.
Moving over to Adam’s still body next to him, Kris said gently, “Hey sweetie.”
Adam fought at the man, ineffectively hitting at the firm chest, ignoring his own injuries.
Gently encasing Adam in his arms Kris crooned soothingly, “Adam, it’s okay. Hush, it’s okay... It’s me...it’s your Kris. ”
“Kris?” Adam gasped out, hope colouring his voice.
Kris nodded, “Yeah, sweetie. We’re safe, for now at least. Do you need some water? You don’t want to get dehydrated on top of everything.”
Adam said flippantly, “I'm sure I won’t get dehydrated. It would ruin the mystery man’s plan.”
“Yeah. So has he said anything this time?”
Adam shook his head, “No, I don’t believe he wants to speak to either of us. Apparently, all he is concerned about is hearing us react to the torture he has goons inflict on us.”
“Yeah, he’s a real sick bastard,” Kris said with a bitter laugh before saying gently, “We’ve got while before they come back for me. Close your eyes, love. I'll keep watch.”
“Talk to me until I fall asleep, tell me what we’re going to do when we get out.”
Gently stroking Adam’s forehead with his right thumb Kris said, “We’re going to do it all. First, I’m going to run a nice bubble bath with the strawberry and cream bubbles that you love and we’re going to soak until we feel like moving.”
Adam continued, “Then we’re going to sleep in a soft bed and I'm not going to let go of you. When we wake up, I am going to lick every inch of your skin before fucking you until I am all you can think about. I'm going to make you mine.”
“I’ve always been yours, Adam. It just took me a while to realise it,” Kris said with a fond smile.
Adam laughed, “I know that, I was just waiting for you to get a clue.”
The pair fell into an easy silence, within twenty minutes Adam was asleep, Kris never stopped caressing Adam’s hair with a small smile on his face.
“I’m going to make sure you get out of here. God, I love you, Adam.”
Katy was staring at the screen in shock; her husband was having an affair with Adam and being held captive by some deranged man. During the two years since the show, Adam had become her friend and confidante. Katy had even suggested to Kris that they move just half a block away from Adam. Katy wondered how long it had been going on and what she had done to drive Kris into Adam’s arms.
Katy had been overjoyed at receiving the disc, thinking it was the songs Kris had promised to send her once he had finished recording them. He always sent her an advance copy to see what she thought and sometimes followed her suggestions. Instead it was a copy of her husband being held hostage and subjected to who knows what torture while everyone thought he was away working on his album.
She had no idea how long Kris and by extension Adam had been in the hands of their torturer. Kris had been away for five days for a recording session across the country, having explained that he needed to get away to record in private. Adam had been on vacation for six days, heading off to Las Vegas as soon as he finished recording.
Seeing the pair’s condition made Katy worry that they would not survive until they were rescued. She had noticed the bruises and inflamed burn marks on Adam’s torso. Kris appeared exhausted, covered in bruises and long scratches.

Adam ignored the searing pain in his leg as he paced the small cell they were being kept in, he hated this part; waiting for Kris to come back to him. Adam just wished that he knew the motive behind what was happening but there was no obvious motive and no one had said word to them since they had been dumped into their cell.
Without a clock on the wall, they had no idea of how much time passed between their torture sessions and that was a form of torment alone. Adam found it distressing that the man holding them captive still had not spoken to them, not giving even the slightest indication as to the motive behind what was happening to them.
Periodically he or Kris were dragged out of the room with the threat that the other would be killed if they did not cooperate. They would be taken to a 5ft by 5ft room, manacled to the left wall before a small beep would sound and the torture would begin. The torture always followed the same pattern, first a beating, followed by cigarette burns and ending with a whipping. When the faceless man holding them captive decided they were returned to their cell and into safety of their love’s embrace for a brief respite from the torment. They had no idea if anyone was already looking for them but their hope was that if not, the search would start soon. Someone would notice they had disappeared, they just had to hold it together until rescue arrived.
Adam blamed himself for what was happening to them, he should have realised something was wrong, should have given Kris the chance to escape but he had been frozen in fear. He had never expected that anyone would want to hurt them or that their sanctuary would be invaded by some deranged lunatic. He and Kris had been in a small hotel in Vegas so that Kris could record his music with the intention of flying to Hawaii for their weeklong vacation.
The vacation had been Kris’s idea, to just get away somewhere they didn’t have to worry about being caught together and they could plan how Kris was going to end his relationship with Katy. They had both agreed that the woman should be hurt as little as possible, Adam had actually come to like her as a person even if it did tear his heart to shreds to see her with Kris.
Adam was drawn out of thoughts as the door was opened and Kris was thrown into the room, fairly gently compared to how they had been treated before. Adam moved quickly to catch the man before he could hit the floor, alarmed to see Kris’s stomach had become slightly swollen, he knew that wasn’t a good sign.
As gently as he could, Adam led Kris over to their admittedly disgusting bed and urged the man down. It terrified Adam to know there was nothing he could do if Kris needed serious medical and he doubted the monster holding them would let Kris go to a hospital. Picking up his discarded t-shirt, Adam soaked it in water and patted down Kris’s brow, repeating over and that he loved Kris and would make sure the man got out there.
Adam could feel the scorching heat from the man’s skin and . over
Adam had no idea how long he sat there mopping Kris’s brow before the man opened his beautiful eyes, Adam could see they were still hazy with pain but Kris was awake and that was the most important thing.
“You back with me now, baby?”
Kris smiled, “Yeah...I think so. It was a difficult session but we’ll get through it okay.”
Adam nodded saying quickly, “Of course we will. Just stay lying down a minute, I just want to feel you in my arms for a bit.”
With a low laugh Kris said, “No place I’d rather be, well...the surroundings could be a lot better.”
“Yeah...” Adam said sadly.

In the BAU conference room, Aaron “Hotch” Hotchner looked at his team, seeing the impatient look in their eyes as they waited to find out why they had been told to get straight to the office at six a.m.
“The LVPD has asked for our help immediately, there have been five gay couples between 25 and 35 kidnapped in Las Vegas, each couple are from out of state. Each time one of the couple is being unfaithful with the other man. A disc showing the men during captivity is sent to the unfaithful man’s wife or partner. The bodies are always found a week after the couple were last seen, they had been beaten extensively. This is the first time the UnSub has gone for a high risk couple.”
Hotch switched on the display showing Kristopher Allen and Adam Lambert being held prisoner, once the footage had finished he switched it off and returned his attention to his team.
Dr Spencer Reid quickly explained, “They are from the 2009 series of American Idol. Kristopher Allen was the winner and Adam Lambert was in second place. The UnSub’s getting bolder.”
“When were the men kidnapped?” Derek Morgan said thoughtfully.
“Lambert's credit card shows he paid for a meal at the Bahama Breeze on September 20th,” Jennifer "JJ" Jareau said quickly.
“So Lambert and Allen could have been missing for five days already. We haven’t got long to save them.” Emily Prentiss said with a sigh.
David Rossi said thoughtfully, “No signs of sexual assault. The cause of death is a stab wound to the stomach for the older partner and the younger is given an overdose of PCP. So the older one to dies slowly and painfully ...but the younger one quickly and relatively peacefully.”
“What forensic evidence has been found?” Prentiss questioned.
“Not much, the bodies are always washed in alcohol. They are posed with the younger man in the arms of the older, in alleys close to gay nightclubs in Las Vegas.”
Looking over the file Reid said quickly, “The older of the couple always has a tattoo placed on the back of their left knee within hours of death. The tattoo is interesting, the unsub probably designed it himself. The Coltsfoot means justice shall be done and the Iris means I have a message for you. If the UnSub is using the language of flowers then he is rather direct in his motives.”
“How many people would know that?” Morgan interjected staring at his friend in amazement; Reid seemed to know weird random facts.
Reid said quickly, “A lot. There are thousands of books on the language of flowers and there is a lot of information on the internet. Botany, anthropology and literature students and professors would know. Not to mention the obvious florists or gardeners. Do any of the victims have a criminal record?”
“Not that Garcia could find,” Hotch said seriously.
Rossi nodded, “That kind of tattoo takes skill, have the police checked out the tattoo parlours?”
JJ nodded, “Yes but it’s been a dead end. They haven’t gone into the exact tattoo but the media have already announced there is a serial killer. I'll have a word with the PD and make sure everyone keeps quiet, given the new celebrity victims people might be eager to get their five minutes of fame.
“Any evidence that any of the victims were being stalked? I mean, how did the UnSub know one of them was married?” Emily asked confused.
JJ answered, “It seems all of them were wearing wedding rings. In the case of the one person who was cheating on his girlfriend of ten years, he was wearing a promise ring.”
Morgan hypothesised, “So is this UnSub a woman, motivated by revenge because her husband was cheating on her with a man?”
“It could be but women serial killers are rare,” Rossi said honestly.
Hotch said,”One of the CSIs thought the UnSub might have killed or assaulted gay couples before so the PD looked into violent assaults and homicides in the last five years but haven’t come up with anything. I’ve got Garcia going further back and looking in surrounding jurisdictions. Let’s hope the police find something quick because otherwise we might not save them in time.”
