Bump. Bump.
That was the first thing Garcia felt. She opened her eyes.
Darkness.
That was the first thing she saw.
She was in a van. Her hands were tied behind her back. There was a bag over her head. The van stopped. She stayed still, and steadied her breathing. The door slid closed her eyes, as someone pulled the bag off her face.
"Well,"said a man,"I guess I'II have to wake up sleeping beauty."
He slapped Garcia across the face so hard she cried out.
"Get up,"he said.
Garcia sat up, and the man grabbed her arm, and forced her to stand up. She saw his face. She knew who he was.
"Ralph Baily," she gasped.
"So, you remember me,"he said,"I'm flattered."
"You stole dozens of children from their families. You sold them like property."
"And you're the only one who managed to figure out that I had them all. But, you never found where I was. Until now."
He shoved her forward into a door. Garcia knew what she would see, but it still caught her by suprise.
There were children of all ages, boy's and girls stuck in that small place. One of them saw her and ran straight to her.
"Are you here to save us?"
Ralph stepped into veiw. The little girl gasped, and backed away.
"Why Lindsey? Do you want to leave me?"
One of the older boys stepped in front of her.
"Please Ralph," he begged," don't hurt her. It's only her first week. She'll learn. Let me take her punishment."
"I'Il take care of both of you later," he growled.
He grabbed Garcia by the back of the neck, and led her to an empty room.
"Let them go,"she said.
"Oh, but then we wouldn't have all our fun," He smiled,"Now, If this is going to work, you're going to have to follow our rules. You will not talk out of turn, you will not try to escape, and you will over me. Of you refuse to do any one of these things, I will let one of the children take your punishment. Speaking of which..."
He turned to walk out the door.
"Wait! Please don't hurt them. I'll take their punishment!"
"That's not how it works here."

"Baby girl,"Morgan called," are you okay?"
He unlocked the door, and walked in. The place was a mass.
JJ followed.
"Oh my God,"she gasped,"I'm calling Hotch."
Morgan walked through the apartment, careful not to touch anything.
The window in front of her fire escape was open.
"Hey,"JJ said,"Hotch wants us to wait outside until the rest of the team gets here."
Morgan slowly left the room.
"I should have answered her call," he said,"maybe i would have heard something. I could have helped her."
"If you has known she was in trouble, you would have run straight over,"JJ said.
"Well, That doesn't help Garcia at all, does it?"
"No, but neither will worrying about the past," she said.
Reid walked into the room. His face plagued with worry.
"Is she-?"
"We don't know Reid," Morgan snapped,"but, she's not here."
"Her apartment is a reck it looks like she fought like hell to get away from her attacker."
"Adda girl,"Gideon said, as he walked in.
Hotch, and Emily were the next to come.
"What do we know?"
"Nothing,"Morgan said,"we don't know where she is, Or of she's even alive."
"Until proven otherwise we will treat this like she is,"Hotch said sternly,"Reid, and Gideon check her apartment. Prentiss, and I will speak with local law enforcement, Morgan, and JJ, you will go to the BAU, look through her office. Get another tech analyst to get into her computer."

Morgan and JJ went straight to the BAU they had asked for an analyst. The searched through her office, and found nothing.
"If Garcia has anything that could help us, It's on that computer,"JJ stated.
"That's why you called me,"said a voice.
