Chapter One
There were no lights along the dark road. It was late and they were headed to the airport for a long flight home. Hotch could hear the slow even breathing of Dr. Reid from the back seat. He glanced at JJ who was struggling to keep her eyes open. He was so lucky to have such an amazing girlfriend. Although the team new nothing of this, they had their suspicions. He refocused is gaze back on the black road. He started to feel uneasy. Something wasn't right. Having no evidence of impending danger he continued on his way, and let it go. His eyes slowly scanned the road. He again looked over at a drowsy JJ.
"You can go to sleep sweetheart." Hotch said.
"Im trying to stay awake because I know we will be there soon. And I want to stay awake to help you stay awake." JJ said.
"Do you not trust me?" Hotch smirked.
"Of course honey. I'd just like to be alive in the morning." JJ retorted with a grin. Hotch never got the chance to answer. The car jerked violently to the right, throwing them off the road. Hotch heard JJ's window break. He looked over and saw that her head was the cause of the window break. She was unconscious and blood was running down the right side of her face. The car came to a sudden stop, causing Hotch to hit his head on the steering wheel. He fought for consciousness. The last thing he saw before blacking out was a dark figure looming over JJ's unconscious body.
"Help." He muttered weakly.
"Where are they?" Emily asked. They had been waiting for nearly 10 minutes now.
"Probably dealing with personal. . .things. Poor Reid." Morgan said with a chuckle. Emily glared at him.
"Im serious! They weren't that far behind us." Emily said.
"Must a been a long pit stop." Rossi said.
"Boys." Emily said rolling her eyes.
"Here I will call Reid." Morgan said. He dialed his number quickly. Nothing. "Um that's weird. It just went to voicemail."
"Try again. I will call JJ." Rossi said.
"I guess I will call Hotch." Emily said reaching for her phone. A few minutes later the team was starting to get worried. None of them had answered their phones.
"Maybe we should drive back and see if we can find them on their way here. Maybe they have a flat or something." Emily said. They nodded and jumped back in the black SUV. Morgan was driving with Emily in the front seat and Rossi in the back. They drove along the dark road.
"Hey what is that?" Rossi asked pointing to a large shape off the side of the road. Morgan pulled over. They quickly got out of the car and recognized the large shape as the other SUV.
"Rossi call 911!" Morgan shouted. They scrambled to the doors trying to open them. Emily noticed that there was nobody in the front seats.
"Guys, there is nobody in the front seats." Emily said.
"I can see Reid. He is in the back seat. Help me get him out." Morgan said. Emily ran over to where Morgan was at and started to pry at the door.
"Its no use!" Emily cried.
"I called 911 they are on there way." Rossi shouted from the road.
"Hey did you hear that?" Morgan asked. They listened quietly. They heard it again. It was a small groan.
"Reid, buddy, can you hear me?" Morgan asked. His reply was another groan slightly louder than the last.
"Where's Hotch and Jayje?" Emily asked frantically. He didn't answer. Emily heard a loud crash and covered her face. Morgan had broken the window with his elbow.
"Morgan, what the hell?" Emily said.
"Help me get Reid out." Morgan grimaced trying to get a hold of Reid.
"Here let me climb in and I can push him to you." Emily said. Morgan nodded and Emily went to work getting in the car. It didn't take long and when they heard the sirens Emily already had Reid's seatbelt undone. She pushed him over closer to the window where Morgan was standing patiently.
"On my count we are gonna lift him through the window. 1. . 2 . 3!" Emily grunted and pushed him up and through the window. He landed on the ground with a thud.
"Sorry man." Morgan said then crouched to feel for a pulse. "He has a strong pulse." Morgan said. He could hear Rossi telling the paramedics where to go. Soon enough they had Reid on a gurney and hauled him up to the ambulance.
"Where the hell are they?" Emily asked looking at the empty seats. She walked around to JJ's side of the car and noticed bloody glass on the ground. She looked at the car, JJ's window was the only one completely shattered.
"Morgan look. Bloody glass. They were definitely in the car when it crashed." Emily said examining their new crime scene.
