"Mary Hailman, 5;kidnapped and murdered." JJ looked around for Spencer, but he wasn't there. It wasn't like him to run off, so JJ had bad thoughts in her head that he'd done dilauded again and passed out on the floor. "Joggers in the Park foundher
body in between two cedar trees."

After showing all the pictures, briefing was over. JJ caught up with Morgan. "Hey, Derek, have you seen Spence at all today?" Morgan looked at JJ with a bit of concern.

"No, but Emily said he felt sick, so he didn't come in." JJ thanked him and dialled Reid's cell number. He picked up.

"Spence, heard you're not feeling so well. We've got a new case so if you feel up to it, you can come meet us in Oklahoma, that would be great."

"JJ" Reid mumbled "I'm going to say this in case I don't see you again... I love you. Not as a friend, more than that. I can't stand to be without you"

JJ hung up as soon as he said that, she needed time to think about what was going on. She could feel her pulse in her temple and she was listening to the beat of her heart in her ears. Rossiwalked straight up to JJ after that phone call, he knewsomething
was up, but he just couldn't put his finger on what.

JJ shrugged him off, grabbed her go bag and went to the jet. The silence was golden. It was strange without Reid there. He'd give statistics on what happened but, instead, no one knew what to say.


They got to the the dump site, Derek and Emily were at the abduction site. The sun was beaming down and JJ could feel her golden blonde hair burning. There was barely any wind, and the heat was comforting. JJ could hear the eagles above squawking. Sheenjoyed
anything that took her mind off her best friend.

"She's got blunt force trauma to the head" Rossi said looking over the body. "Blitz attack?" JJ was staring into space and Aaron Hotchner noticed.

"What's going on, JJ?" He whispered into her small cold ear. She jumped with fright and her face went pale.

"Nothing, Hotch. Erm..let's just get back to work." She walked over to the sheet-hidden body, and she found a little puncture would in her scalp. There was a little object in her wound, so JJ pulled it out, bagged and sealed it.

Looking away, her phone buzzed. It was Spencer 'Hey. I hope I didn't say anything wrong earlier, I will be in Oklahoma in two hours. See you there.'JJ didn't know what to reply, so she said:

'okay. See you soon' and put her phoneaway.

The two hours had dragged, like a handicapped person without a wheelchair. She went over what she was going to say over and over again, but as soon as she saw the poor, sniffling Reid, her heart rate increased. She got sweaty palms and she blushed. She
could feel her face burning and it was

scary for her.

"Hi" Reid said putting his hand up. Emily and Derek took him away to brief him about what had happened. JJ stumbled and her legs wouldn't work properly. They went like jelly. And her blood pressure went through the roof and she fell over the chair.

THUD! JJ landed on the hard floor. Emily, Derek, Aaron, David and Reid all rushed over. Reid took his sweater off and laid it under her head.
