"…I'll get on the yacht" Jane said.
"No, Jane" Weller looked at her with one of his no way in hell looks.
Jane persisted "We both know how dangerous this is. You have a baby on the way, you have Sarah and Sawyer, people who would miss you if anything happened to you. Look I'm just being practical; No one would miss me so I'll get on the yacht." Weller just stared at her then turned around to look for a guard.
Jane grabbed a stick lying next to her on the ground and swung it with all her might hitting Weller over the back of the head. "I'm sorry" she said as she crept around the corner and sprinted to boat jumping onto the latter as the boat pulled away from the peer.

Weller came to slowly his head was killing him and he didn't want to open his eyes because he knew it would only make the pain intensify. What happened he thought then like a TV show everything came flooding back: Dr. Chen, the peer, the boat, Jane … "Jane". He looked around realizing that she wasn't there. Knowing exactly where she was he turned the corner in search of the boat but it was long since gone and so was Jane; so, he started running hoping he would find a way to contact his team and save Jane before something terrible happened.
He had been running for what felt like hours when he staggered out onto a road just as a black SUV came up from the other direction. At first he tensed not knowing who was in the vehicle then relaxed when Reade stepped out followed by Zapata and Nas.
"Are you okay" Reade was the first one to speak up.
"Yeah I'm fine just winded" Weller replied.
"Where is Jane" Nas spoke up.
"Let me guess she left you, didn't she? I knew we couldn't trust her." Zapata spat out before Weller could answer Nas.
"NO!" he yelled angered by Zapata's accusations No wonder she thought nobody would miss her. "She is on the boat with Dr. Chen, she wanted to make sure we didn't lose her!"

Jane snuck onto the boat and managed to get eyes on Dr. Chen when out of nowhere she felt a sharp pain the back of her head and the world went black. When she regained consciousness, she was in an empty room of what look like an old abandoned farm house, only in the middle of the woods. She took in her surroundings the room was about 15x25 with two windows her captors clearly weren't worried about being seen which meant they were way off the grid. Dr. Chen was tied to a metal chair much like her own about 6 feet away. Before she could say anything the door in front of them creaked open.
A man walked into the room with a gleeful smirk on his face like a kid in a candy store. He looked at Chen and then Jane. "Well ladies welcome one of my many establishments cozy right?"
Jane glared at him "What do you want from us?"
"From you nothing" another man entered the room and whispered something into the first's ear. "Jane Doe, things just got interesting" Jane nearly gasped at the sudden discovery of her name how could he know that name, I didn't tell anyone that name except Weller and Nas, could he be sandstorm. A barrage of thoughts flew through her head as she stared at the man in front of her who now seemed even more menacing please find us soon Weller. She hoped he was looking for her but then again she would blame him if she'd been a thorn in his side for months now he could finally be free.
The man moved across the room to stand directly in front over her "You see you are useful to me in one very significant way, you will help me control the FBI." Behind him the door swung open and two more goons entered the room with a camera on a tripod. "You see my dear friends at the FBI if you try to stop this deal in any way or try to crash my little party early your little pet here will pay the price. Jane why don't tell me how far you think I can get your friends to go to save you."
"Not very far, I don't have any friends and the people I work with hate my guts. How far would you go for the person you hate?" She glared at him and then closed her mouth and raised her chin defiantly.
"We'll see about that." Jane just stared at him He pulled a knife from his belt and maneuvered around behind her chair. "My friends at the FBI this is what will happen if you don't do as I have instructed" He raised the pressed the knife against her skin for a moment before plunging it into her side. "Only next time I won't be so careful as to not hit any vital organs." He then signaled his goons to shut down the camera and left the room locking the door behind him.

Weller had just finished telling the team everything he knew when Paterson busted into the room. "You guys need to see this!" she said as she brought up an email on the screen for the team to see, then clicked on the attached video file. When the screen came to life everyone in the room tensed at what they saw. It was Jane sitting on a metal chair with her hands tied behind her back. You see my dear friends at the FBI if you try to stop this deal in any way or try to crash my little party early your little pet here will pay the price. The man then turned to Jane saying…Jane why don't tell me how far you think I can get your friends to go to save you. As if this wasn't disturbing enough the words that came out of Jane's mouth were the ones that stung, the ones that stole stabbed the hearts of everyone in the room eve Zapata. Not very far, I don't have any friends and the people I work with hate my guts. How far would you go for the person you hate?
These words hit Weller like a punch in the gut he looked at the screen disgusted with the man in front of him but also with himself. How could he have let this go on so long. Yeah Jane had betrayed him but everything she did was the protect him and the team, and now everyone she sacrificed so much to protect hated her guts, or so she thought. The thought made him sick. We'll see about that…. And with that the man on screen pulled out a knife and walked around behind Jane who looked directly at the camera with a look of acceptance on her face. Weller heart was beat about a thousand beats a minute and then he thought it stopped completely when watch the man plunge the knife into the lower right side of Jane's abdomen. Then the screen went back and the team stood in stunned silence.
"We have to find them. NOW!" Weller said.
"Already on it" Paterson replied tapping away at her keyboard.

It didn't take Paterson long to find Jane's location and it took even less time for the team to be headed out the door and down the road. Everyone determined to bring Jane home because this team was family and even though family fought they were always there for each other, and no one hurt their family. They arrived on scene after about 34 minutes of breakneck speed on Nas's part. They exited the vehicle and surrounded the house. There were two guards on the front porch and two by the back door. The team made short work of them and headed inside. Once inside it only took them about 5 minutes to neutralize the rest of the goons and move on to find Jane. Nas stayed out on the front porch, and Zapata stayed by the back door to keep watch; while Reade checked the upstairs and Weller the downstairs. It was Weller who found Jane.
He slowly opened the door gun drawn, after checking to make sure the coast was clear he raced over to the alarmingly still form in the chair in front of him. "Jane!" He quickly cut her ties and laid her flat on the floor "Jane, can you hear me?" She slowly opened her eyes. "What are you doing here? Too dangerous, I'm not worth it" she huffed out barely above a whisper. Weller looked at her in awe and determined right there and then that Jane would never feel this alone again. How could she say she wasn't worth it, of course she was.
"Jane, listen to me I know these past few months have been hard but I care about you okay, You are worth it. And I would miss you okay so you have to hang on" he glanced over the Chen and asked her if she was okay she nodded so he turned back to Jane to see that her eyes had closed. He pressed harder on the wound "Jane! Hey open your eyes, Come on Jane! You have to stay awake, don't give up." At his words she opened her eyes but only about half mast "I'm sorry" she said the her eyes closed again only this time they didn't open when Weller yelled, no matter how hard he tried she didn't wake up. "Jane please Jane No, don't do this you have to fight for me. Come On Jane don't give up!" he picked her up and carried her from the house into the back of the SUV. The car raced towards the hospital "Hang on Jane just a little longer please just hang on"

Three Days Latter….
Weller sat in her hospital room quietly waiting for her to wake up. When she finally opened her eyes he said the one thing that had been on his mind "I missed you"
