So I wasn't expecting this at all. This wasn't planned. I guess you could say this is my grieving process. I just lost my dog yesterday and I couldn't sleep. I started writing and this is what happened. I've been sticking with One-shots so I was really surprised when this happened. But I guess this is going to be multi-chapter story. No idea where this is going so bare with me :)

Penelope Garcia awoke, her heart racing. She'd had a nightmare, but she couldn't remember what it was about. Only that she desperately needed to talk to someone about it. She knew right away the one person that could make it all better, her best friend, Derek Morgan. She grabbed the phone off her nightstand and dialed his number, which she knew by heart. He didn't answer.

"Huh?" Garcia wondered aloud. That was weird, he always answered, even when she called him at 3AM. She tried him twice more, the weird feeling in the pit of her stomach growing with every unanswered ring. After he didn't answer the third time she knew exactly what she had to do.

"Sir I know it's late, or early, however you think of it and I'm sorry for waking you, but Derek's not answering his phone, he always answers when I call...even at 3AM. I called him 3 times and he's still not answering, I'm worried that something's wrong. I've got a bad feeling, like this horrible pit in my stomach..."

Hotch cut her off immediately awake at the distress in the tech analysts voice. "I'll be at Morgan's in 10 minutes." He said and immediately hung up.

Garcia anxiously awaited a call from Hotch, she needed to know that her chocolate thunder was safe. She started to get dressed, knowing there was no way she was going to get any sleep now. As soon as her phone rang she jumped to answer it.

"You were right, something is wrong. He's not here, but it looks like there was definitely a struggle. I'll call David, you call the others." Garcia felt panicky, but tried to push it down as she dialed JJ's number.

"Hello?" A sleepy JJ mumbled on the other end.

"Jayje, something's wrong, we need you at the office."

"Pen, what-"

"No time Jayje, just get there." She interrupted, wanting to make sure the others were okay.

She went to call Reid next. He didn't answer. She wasn't surprised, he was a pretty heavy sleeper. She tried him again. Still no answer. She tried him a third time and started to feel a little uneasy.

She called Hotch while she grabbed her keys and started to head out. "Reid isn't answering either, will you-"

"On it." Hotch said, hanging up before she could even finish her sentence. She drove to the BAU faster than usual. Her mind was racing and she was struggling to keep calm.

Once she'd arrived at the BAU she practically ran inside. The only one there was Rossi. She was too fidgety, so she stayed standing, waiting for the rest of the team.

"Garcia, have a seat will you, you're making ME nervous." Rossi said after a few minutes of her standing there. She sat down next to him and he gently put his hand over hers as they waited. JJ entered the room just as her phone beeped with a text from Hotch.

"Reid's gone, obvious signs of struggle, on my way to you." That was all the text said.

"Oh god." Garcia's eyes automatically filled with tears.

JJ immediately hurried over and put a hand on her friend's shoulder.

"Penelope what is going on?"

"Morgan and Reid are missing. Hotch said there were signs of a struggle at both homes."

JJ's hand immediately tightened on Garcia's shoulder. Garcia reached up and gripped it, her hands shook horribly.

JJ could feel her friend was about to lose it and that would help no one. She sat down beside Penelope and made her look at her.

"Penelope, they are okay. We have to believe that. They're both strong and wherever they are, they're fighting like hell. We need to focus here. Would it help you if we brought Kevin in?"

Penelope turned to face JJ and nodded. JJ took one of her hands and held it tightly while she made the call. "Kevin, sorry to wake you, but Morgan and Reid are missing. We need your help."

Kevin agreed to be there right away and JJ turned back to her friend who seemed to be really struggling.

"We don't know anything yet, they could be just fine..." JJ didn't really believe that, but she had to stay strong for her. She leaned over and embraced her friend. They sat like that for a minute until JJ could feel her starting to calm down. JJ glanced over at Rossi who seemed to be pretending not to notice. He knew all too well that Penelope hated it when everyone watched her break down and knew that JJ would make sure she pulled it together.

Garcia finally managed to get ahold of herself thanks to JJ. She understood that she needed to keep it together, because breaking down wasn't going to bring her Derek back to her. She was still holding one of JJ's hands, giving her something to focus on. They sat like that in silence, waiting for their team leader to arrive.

Hotch walked in and everyone tensed up. He didn't waste a second.

"Whoever has them left a message for us." Hotch said quickly, placing the note on the table where they could all see it.

Everyone flinched a little when they saw it. The note simply said "Good Luck." It wasn't what the note said that made them flinch, but rather the fact that it was written in what looked like blood.

"We're short two team members, I called Emily, she's on her way here. We're going to need her."
