Disclaimer: I own nothing expect Freya. She is all mine though. Wish I owned Reid though.
WARNING: This is my second attempt of writing a criminal minds fan fiction so the characters might be some OC. Sorry about that. I´ll try to keep them in characters as much as possible but can´t guarantee anything. Consider yourself warned.
I have made some adjustments to the story for it to work. Hotch is divorced from Hailey and they share Jack who is 2. I don´t know where in the timeline we are, but it´s after Gideon and Elle leaves so after season 2. On second thought I think there isn´t any timeline in this story. I´m mixing.
I have to say there is some very OC in this chapter and it´s very mushy – just so you know. And now on to the story which is a sequel to ´Stalked´.

She was free. Finally, she was free. Wonder how long she had been there? Too long anyway. She began running, careful to be as quiet as possible so he wouldn´t hear her. He properly knew she was gone now and she wanted to be as far away from this place as possible. She held back a moan as she stumbled over some branches and twisted her ankle. She stiffened a sob as the ankle began throbbing and hurting. She had to keep moving. How knew how far out she was. She had been unconscious when he took her and she couldn´t remember anything about how far they had traveled.
Hiding behind some trees she gasped for her breath, gritting her teeth as she felt her ankle. It wasn´t broken. She began limping, as fast as she could, holding back the cries of pain as the ankle protested to being used. Finally she stopped, holding her breath, listing for anything. Him or people. People who could help her. There! A sound. It sounded like a motor. Biting down on her lip, drawing blood, she limped forward, almost running.
A road. Who knew you could be so happy to see something so normal as that. And there was a car. Running out in front of it she waved her arms widely to stop them. Tears of gratitude, hurt and relief fell from her eyes as the car stopped and she sobbed of happiness when two people stepped out. The last thing she saw before passing out was the concerned and frightened faces of two teenagers. A boy and a girl. The last conscious thought she had was "I´m sorry for interrupting your romantic date" and then she was gone.

It was a quiet night in the ER which usually meant trouble but tonight Dr. Freya Jareau Summers were happy for the quiet time. It meant time for her to read up on different things, things she would need for her appointments tomorrow. Rubbing her eyes she took a sip of coffee and gazed around the empty ER of Virginia Memorial (This hospital is one I made up). She had been working here ever since she moved to Virginia to be closer to JJ and to Spencer Reid. She blushed at the thought of the agent, a soft smiling gracing her Asian features.
It´s been 8 months since she met her cousin´s CO-workers. 8 months since her abduction and captivity. She still had nightmares about it but it was getting better. She had talked it through with some professionals and knew herself very well before it so she was good self-reflection. Of course there where time which hurt more than others but in all she was doing good.
A loud beeping sound interrupted her thoughts and after quickly checking her pager she jumped up and raced out side into the court. Shortly after an ambulance came flying around the corner and accelerated up until it hit the breaks just before her. The door was flung open and a paramedic jumped out dragging a stretch behind him.
"White female, 17, ran out in front of car, naked. She is covered in cuts and bruises. We put in an IV-line and she is getting fluids," he barked handing her a clipboard with her information. Freya did a quick examination and the paramedic whispered in her ear: "I think you need to do a rape-kit," he whispered before they disappeared. Freya took in the young woman´s face. She was pretty. Her hair was properly blond even though it right then was mattered with blood and dirt. Her eyes were large and blue, holding a look of fright and pain. "Give her 10 cc´s of morphine," Freya ordered as she lifted up the sheets. "And call the coroner and say we have a rape victim," she said more quiet to the nurse who gave the scared girl a small smile. "It´s okay," the nurse said wheeling her into trauma room 2. "We´ll take care of you now." Freya sighed as she mentally prepared herself for the next few hours stress, pain and holding herself together.

A squeak of the door alerted her sleeping mind about an intruder and a ray of sunshine told her it was time to get up. A movement of the bed woke her sleepy mind and a voice bellowed "Daddy!" A groan from her sleeping partner told her Aaron Hotchner wasn´t awake yet and a small "umpf" plus a lot of movement in her bed now told her to open her eyes.
JJ smiled at the sight. A little boy with raven black hair was jumping up and down on a pile of sheets, pillows and a person. "Daa-ddyy," the boy cried again and with a small groan Aaron Hotchner appeared from his pile of sheets. "Jack," he said, sounding very sleepy. "What are you doing?" The boy frowned "Hungry, daddy!" he declared and now JJ couldn´t hold back her laughter. "Jayjay," Jack exclaimed happily before jumping into her awaiting arms. "Why you sleeping with my daddy?" he asked innocently. It was the first time she had slept in Hotch´s bed when he was there and the night before she had tortured Hotch with concern about the following morning when he noticed her in his fathers bed.
Hotch couldn´t help smiling as he saw his beautiful girlfriend turn bright red. "She can handle standing in front of the world´s press but this she can´t?" he smiled at his thoughts. "Yeah, JJ. What are you doing in my bed?" JJ almost growls at him before smiling gently at Jack. "Well, do you mind me sleeping here?" Jack frowns slightly as he shakes his head. "No, me like it. You make daddy happy," he stated happily. Hotch feels the tears sting behind his eyes as his small son declares this. JJ smiled and gives Jack a tight hug. "Well, then I sleep with him because I make him smile." Jack nodded, happy with the reply. "Jayjay," he said after snuggling in her arms. "Me wants food," he stated and then jumps out of bed and raced out into the kitchen.
Hotch smiles as he watches his 2 years old son leave. "Good morning," JJ smiles into his mouth as they hear Jack call for them again. "I think," she says between kisses. "We need to feed your son." She ignored his pout and walks out to help Jack find something to eat. Hotch smiles happy that Jack didn´t seem to mind him and JJ sleeping together which they had been doing ever since the kidnapping case where her cousin was involved. She almost lived with him and it made him happy.
It was weekend and the team was, for once, without case. A ringing noise interrupted him and he frowned as he saw the caller-ID. "Agent Hotchner," he said as he answered the phone.

Freya rubbed her eyes, hiding a yawn in her hand. A knock on the door and a nurse gave her a file. "The coroner is done now," she said and Freya nodded, smiling a weak smile. "And?" the nurse shook head. "It´s not good. They´d called the police" The nurse left her. She opened the file and read it before taking a deep breath before leaving to talk to the girl.
Freya took one last look at the file to check the name of the girl. Jessica Wills, 17 years old. Multiple cuts and bruises on the body with different states of healing. Both anal and vaginal tearing. She felt her eyes tear up as she read the file. Sniffing in she blinked the tears away, breathing in deeply she brought out the doctor from inside her.
She didn´t smile as she knocked on the door and looked inside. It was a one bed room, of course. The girl in bed seemed small and fragile, her eyes were closed. She hadn´t had a bath yet, Freya noticed. Her hair was still mattered with blood and dirt and she still had a line of dried blood on her cheek.
"Hi," Jessica jumped in surprise and Freya gave her an apologetic look. "I´m Dr. Summers but you can call me Freya is you want to. Do you know where you are?" She had blue eyes. Piercing blue but still warm. Her lip shook a little as she whispered the word ´no´ so softly Freya almost didn´t hear her. "W-what day i-is it?" the young girl stuttered and Freya checked her watch. "It´s Tuesday 5th of October," she stated. "October?" Jessica eyes filled with tears. "I have been gone so long?" she sobbed as the time caught her.
Freya felt her need to cry and sat down on her bed, slowly placing a hand on Jessica´s hand, offering him a little comfort. She cried for what seemed to be an eternity and when she stopped it seemed the weight on her shoulders were a little less.
Jessica sniffed and lifted her hand to dry her eyes. She winced in pain as she touched her forehead. "Ouch," she exclaimed. "Where am I?" she finally asked. "You´re at the Virginia Memorial," Freya told her gently. "I-I-I," her eyes filled with tears again but she bit her lip trying to hold them back. "I know you have been through a lot but would it be okay if I check your body to see how it´s doing? After that you can shower if you want to," Freya said and Jessica´s eyes lit up at the prospect of a bath. "I-I," she stuttered not wanting to be touched again.
"It will be okay," the doctor told her. "I promise. We can take a break if it gets too much, okay?" Jessica nodded and Freya began searching her body for wounds, cuts, bruises, broken bones or anything like it.
A half hour later Freya was done. She found some deep cuts which would need stitches and some wounds that had to be cleaned very carefully but nothing broken. She found burned marks that made her insides hurt as she examined them. There were old ones and newer ones. Her ankle was sprained but she would heal in a few months. "Okay," she pulled of her gloves. "If you want to I can take you to the bathroom and find some soap and stuff." Jessica nodded and gave her the first weak smile.
Freya helped her up and towards the bath room. Loud noises from the door made Jessica whimper and Freya gave her a secure smile. "I´ll go check it out, okay? I´ll be right back with soap and some new clothes." The girl nodded and Freya turned around to go but a hand reached out and grabbed her. "Promise you´ll be back?" Jessica´s voice was insecure and her eyes uncertain. "Promise." Jessica turned on the water and Freya say how the blood and dirt washed away together with tears as the girl tried to scrub out her memories.
She left the room, angry about the loud noises from outside. She pushed the door open to see a nurse fighting with a police officer. "But I told you, you can´t go in there. The doctor is in there with the patient and you could make it a lot worse," the nurse cried red spot appearing on her cheeks. "I have too. The FBI will be here soon and I," then another voice interrupted them. "What is going on?" A raven black haired man appeared looking stern as ever. Freya´s eyebrows shot up as she recognized the voice. "Aaron?" she stated shocked and Aaron Hotchner turned to the voice. "Freya? What are you doing here?" he asked equally shocked.
So, here´s the first new chapter of the story. Hope you´ll all like it (hinting for reviews). I´d like to stress, again, that I´m NOT a doctor or profiler so there will be mistakes.
Until next time TTFN
