Reid, JJ, and Garcia were going to their cars after an extra stressful case.
"Oh I have been waiting for this day all month," Garcia said," Kevin and I have a whole weekend planned, starting when I get home.".
"What are you doing?" Reid asked.
"Oh, my innocent little gumdrop," Garcia smiled," I think it's best if I don't corrupt that beautiful brain of yours with my unholy thoughts."
"Trust me, Spence," JJ said," you probably don't want to know."
When they passed by a van, the door swung open, and a man came out. He was holding a taser. Before anyone could react, he had already tasered JJ. Once she was on the ground, he stole her gun from her belt, aimed it at her head, and put a boot on her back.
"Agent Reid," he said," If you want your friend to live, you will give your weapon to Ms. Garcia, who will give your weapon to me, and then you and Agent Jareau will get in the back of my van, and Ms. Garcia will join me up front."
Reid knew that if he didn't obey, JJ would die, and he couldn't risk her life. He gave his gun to Garcia, who took the weapon to the man holding JJ.
"Thank you, my darling," he said," you may go ahead and get in the front seat. We'll join you when we're ready."
Garcia looked at Reid and JJ one last time before getting in the front of the van. The man removed his boot from JJ's back and told Reid to pick her up and place her in the van. Once they were inside, he slammed the door shut, and went to the front seat with Garcia.
"Please," she said, quietly," If you let them go, you can do whatever you want to me, Just don't hurt them."
He put a hand against her cheek.
"Penelope, your selflessness truly is admirable," he said," but I need all three of you for my plan. Besides, if I let them go, then they'll tell the rest of your team, and we'll lose our headstart."
An hour after Reid, JJ and Garcia left, Emily finished her paperwork and went to the parking lot. When she got there, she noticed Reid's car was still there, and then she saw JJ's car a few spaces away. After searching for a few seconds, she found Garcia's car and knew something was wrong. She turned around and went back into the office.
"Hey, Morgan," she said," Reid, JJ, and Garcia left, right?"
"Yeah," Morgan said," they left together."
"Well, their cars are still here," she said," I think we should check the security cameras. I'll go downstairs and talk to security, you talk to Hotch and Rossi."
As soon as she got to the elevators, Kevin stepped off.
"Hey, Emily," he said," is Penelope here? She was supposed to be home an hour ago, and she hasn't been answering my calls."
"No she isn't," Prentiss said," stay here. We may need your help."
She went down to the security desk and spoke with the guard, who let her view all the footage from when they left. She watched for about ten minutes until she saw them walking to their cars. She saw a man jump out of a van, and taser JJ. She noticed that he was careful to keep his face out of view of the camera.
When she got back upstairs to tell the team about what happened, Kevin was on his phone looking anxious. While Morgan quietly waited.
"She's here," he said," now please let me talk to Penelope."
"No," the man on the phone said," give the phone to her."
"But you said-"
Kevin was interrupted by the sound of Garcia screaming. She begged for the pain to stop. Morgan's hands turned into fists.
"Please stop," Kevin begged
"That's completely up to you, Kevin," he said," can I talk to Agent Prentiss?"
Prentiss grabbed the phone from Kevin's hand.
"I'm here," she said," What do you want to talk about?"
"See, boys? This is how you make it easier on both you and your colleagues," he said," now since you have been obedient, I will allow you to speak to one of your teammates. I was going to let you speak with Penelope, but she isn't exactly in the mood to talk to you right now. Are you, my darling?"
They heard Garcia whimper in fear, and then a new voice came on the phone.
"Emily?"
"JJ," Prentiss sighed with relief," are you okay?"
"He tasered me," JJ said," but I think I'll be fine."
Prentiss gestured for Kevin and Morgan to go to Garcia's office. Kevin needed to trace the call, and they could still hear Penelope crying in the background, which was visibly distressing Morgan
"So are Reid, and Garcia okay?"
"Yeah, Reid's fine," she said," and Garcia will be okay."
Prentiss could hear Reid trying to comfort a crying Garcia.
"What did he do to her?"
JJ's voice got low.
"The bastard put his cigarette out on her," she said through gritted teeth.
Their conversation was interrupted by the sound someone being punched, and JJ letting out a surprised yelp.
"So sorry," the man said," but it looks like Ms. JJ is having trouble minding her manners. I sure hope this isn't the example she sets for Henry."
"Let me talk to Reid," Prentiss said," he hasn't done anything wrong."
"I don't know if any of them are ready to speak to you just yet," he said," but I will call you as soon as they are. Bye."
He hung up the phone, and Prentiss went ran into Garcia's office, praying that Kevin was able to trace the call.
