Hey guys. This is my first CM fanfic so cut my some slack, please! :)I hope you like it!

BTW- I don't own Criminal Minds, but the unsub, is mine.

Reid's POV

A Darker Shade of Black

The sunlight gleamed off of Derek Morgan's sunglasses into my eyes making me squint.

"I need some snazzy sunglasses, too." I said and Morgan chuckled. He reached in between the seats of the BAU car and grabbed something, then sat up and threw it on my lap. I looked down at a pair of glasses I've only ever seen on those spy movies. I laughed to myself.

"What?" Morgan asked. "You don't like them?" he said as I put them on. "Wow. You already look like a real ladies man." He smiled. We finally pulled into our new crime scene. We both got out of the car and walked over to Aaron Hotchner, or unit chief, who was on the phone.

"Alright Emily. See you soon. Uh.. bye." He said. This was weird because there was only two people we knew of who Hotch called by first name. Haley, his x-wife and Emily Prentiss, another member of the unit. Even though we could all see that they had something going on. "Emily and JJ will be here in a couple."

"Okay, what's going on?"

"Police found the body of Samantha Laredo this morning in her apartment. Estimated death time was 8-10 hours ago. Her throat has been cut, there is evidence of her being tied to something, and there are deep cut wounds in her right leg and stomach area."

"Cut wounds signify the unsub wanted her for sexual purposes. Was she found without clothing on?" I asked.

"Yes. They want to take the body to the lab and see if they can determine if she was raped or not." He responded.

"Okay, let's go check it out." Morgan said. Prentiss and JJ drove up right as we turned to walk in.

"I'll talk to them. Go ahead in, second floor first room to the right." Hotch said. Morgan and I turned around and walked into the apartment building. We stopped as soon as we walked through the door.

"Holy.." Morgan whispered. It looked like someone got buckets of red paint and splashed it across the walls of the bedroom. Except, this wasn't red paint. The only space not drenched with blood was one rectangle on the far wall. In it, was a message written in blood. I froze as soon as I read it.

"J-J-.. oh, God.." I said. The message said quote "JJ" is next. end quote. Suddenly, I got extremely dizzy and fell over.

"Reid!" Morgan ran over and grabbed me right before I hit the ground. He patted my face a couple of times and I finally got enough energy back to stand up. "You okay man?"

"Yeah. (clears through) Yes. Sorry." I replied. I shook my head and took a breath. "Morgan, did you see the message?" He looked over where I was looking and held his breath.

"JJ." He ran downstairs. I was still holding my breath. I went over to the wall and looked closely at the blood. Then I saw the fingerprint.

"Hotch!" I yelled. "Hotch I need someone with a fingerprint kit!" I pushed my hand through my hair. My feelings for JJ were very strong. I needed her. She was so important to me. I couldn't lose her. Right then, a person in a lab coat rushed in.

"Sir." He nodded. He then set up his kit and began examining the prints. "It's going to take while, sir."

"Right, thanks." I said and rushed downstairs. I looked outside and saw Morgan talking sternly to Hotch.

"He's threatening a member of the team, and all you can say is she's safe as long as she's with us? Last time you said that, Reid almost got killed, if you remember."

"Morgan, I'm working on it. Now, you need to take Reid and get to the BAU. Tell Prentiss and JJ to go back too. Don't tell JJ about this. I mean it." Hotch said and walked away. Morgan huffed and looked at me. I nodded and he went to tell Prentiss and JJ. I got into the car. I turned on the radio.

Suddenly, I got a call from "restricted" I opened my phone and put my finger on the answer button. I finally pressed it.

"H-Hello?" I asked, cautiously.

"Spencer. Good to hear from you." A deep voice said. "Did you get my message?" They chuckled. "Time to say goodbye to your girl, Spence. Jennifer, is next." and just like that he hung up. Morgan opened the door and climbed in. He started driving.

"Reid. What's up? You look like you just saw a ghost." He said.

"A restricted number just called telling me to say goodbye to JJ. He asked me if I got his message." Morgan smashed his hands on the wheel, and the horn went off. I looked in the mirror and saw an identical car behind us, with Prentiss and JJ. I kept my eyes on her.

All of the sudden, a huge explosion blew the car a couple cars behind them up. We both pulled over and ran over to where the explosion was. The car that blew up was on it's side, and no one was in it. We called 911 and stood there waiting until they arrived. We talked to the firemen and then, they told us to leave, and after checking the car out it was not a bomb, but a car malfunction. It still seemed weird. We started walking back to our cars, and then I heard Prentiss shout something I couldn't handle right then.

"Where's JJ?"
