JJ's POV
It was a cold December morning there was mountains of snow n the side of the road, as I was walking to work. I had just made it into the BAU Office when I was greeted by one of my co-workers Emily Prentiss. We have been working in the BAU together for some time and became close friends.
"Good morning! I thought you weren't going to be back until next week. What happened?" Emily asked. She was wearing a long sleeved sweater that we bought together. It was a pale colour, close to gray. I had the exact one at home.
"You know I decided that I much rather be here than at home alone, so here I am." I responded.
"Well good. We need you here. This case is big." Emily said entering the elevator first, I followed.
We walked into the conference room. Everyone's heads turned. They were all happy and surprised to see me.
"I though your vacation didn't end until next week." Dr. Spencer Reid remarked.
"I know Spence but I decided to cut it short. I would much rather be here than alone at home."
"Welcome back JJ!" Derek Morgan said in a calm voice.
"Welcome JJ. Weren't you supposed to be on vacation right now?" Garcia asked entering the room. She was carrying several folders. Most likely of the case that we were going to try to solve.
"This is Ronald Nelson 23, 170 pounds, 6'6". He was last seen outside his home in Oklahoma. His wife reported him missing 24 hours ago." Garcia said starting off the routine protocol.
"And they contacted the BAU now because they think he may be in danger." Agent Hotchner guessed.
"I was just getting to that sir. This is Hannah Franklin 24 she was killed recently the autopsy results have not yet been released however we know that she was stabbed multiple times after being shot in the head. She was single 120 pounds and 5'9" in height."
"There is the overkill." Emily pointed out.
"Garcia, go and check to see if there is any relationship between the two victims. Cross-reference their background information for any possible connections." Hotch said.
"Yes sir." Garcia said hurrying out of the room.
"Everyone else meet me in the jet in 15 minutes, including you JJ." Hotch said taking the profiles with him.
"Well I guess I am part of this case now." I said getting up to prepare for the case.
While the team was analyzing the profiles Garcia gave them I lost in thought and unaware of what is going on. I was extremely distant. Emily sat beside me. I was too distracted to notice.
"Is everything alright you seem really distracted, I've noticed it in the conference room too." Emily remarked.
I jumped at the realization that Emily was sitting beside me. "I'm fine it's just…" At that moment Garcia called to tell us her findings.
"Okay so Ronald and Hannah went to school together had a few mutual friends and the two of them were with the popular crowd." Garcia said.
"So it is safe to assume that our unsub is someone who was bullied." Hotch said.
"Or he was a complete outcast." I added.
"Exactly, actually considering what he has done to Hannah a past of foster homes and abusive parents is also highly likely. Garcia can you check to see if there is anyone in that school that had a past of abusive parents and child services? They might have intervened, perhaps sending him to a foster home?"
"Yes and I will call to let you know what I find out." Garcia said just as she hung up the phone.
"We are almost there. JJ you and Emily go talk to Mrs. Nelson about her husband. Morgan, Reid and I will go to the dump site of Hannah Franklin." Hotch said.
Emily and I drove to Mrs. Nelson's home it did not seem anything out of the ordinary. It was a detached home with a two-car garage. As we approached the front door I noticed something. There were footprints.
"Check this out. It has been snowing all day. There are not supposed to be any footprints." I said.
"They are fresh. Look at the design on the sole it looks like a steeled toe shoe." Emily pointed out. "I will send Garcia a picture."
I turned to look around I was getting is a bad feeling about this house. That is when I noticed a red stain on the wall of the garage. I made her way over to it. It was dried blood.
"Either Ronald tried putting up a fight or our unsub hurt Ronald before abducting him." I said turning around to face Emily.
We should send a sample to Garcia and see if she can identify who the blood belongs to." Emily said.
"Right now we should focus on talking to Mrs. Nelson maybe she can help us figure out who we are dealing with."
We rang the bell but there was no response. There was a scream from inside the house. Emily and I drew our guns and kicked the door open. We slowly made our way in with our guns ready. I motioned to Emily that I will go check upstairs while she should go check the living room and kitchen.
I was checking the second floor when I noticed a shadow move across the floor I turned around but there was no body there. I opened the bedroom door slowly it was a baby room. The child was sleeping peacefully in the crib but Mrs. Nelson was not at home. The baby cooed silently. I slowly left the room and moved on to the next room. The second floor was empty.
"Clear!" Came Emily's voice from downstairs.
"Clear." I said just loud enough for Emily to hear but soft enough for the baby to stay asleep.
"She wouldn't have left the baby which makes me think that the unsub was here." Emily said.
"Yeah I mean the baby is barely 2. What if our unsub is actually the babysitter that the two hired?" I asked.
"That could be it let's call Hotch see what they found out." Emily suggested.
"Sounds like a good idea also we should take this baby somewhere." I pointed out "We can't leave him here."
"Hey Hotch we found a baby, footprints and dried blood here you might want to come check it out.
"Thank you Prentiss we will be there shortly. The dump site didn't reveal any important clues. Maybe the house will tell us more." Hotch said on the other end of the phone. I sat down on a chair beside the crib Emily sat beside me. She put her hand over mine until the rest of the team arrived.
