Family Unit

MH96

Victim Number 6

The team had gathered in the briefing room, it was Monday morning and the team were still tired after returning from a week long case Saturday afternoon. Taking their usual seats Garcia began the briefing of the urgent case in JJ's home city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

"So far, five teenagers have been kidnapped, brutally raped and murdered, whilst all the acts have been filmed, and sent to the families." Garcia began to explain the case to the team. "This morning a sixth girl, a TJ Walker was reported missing by her boyfriend Dylan Parker Brown." Garcia began pulling the victims images up on the screen, including the missing teenager's image; she was eighteen with short blonde hair with light blue highlights, with a slim toned body, stood in front of her African American boyfriend, who had his arms wrapped around her waist, both of them in running gear.

Seeing the missing teenager's picture being pulled up on the screen, JJ went a sickly shade of grey and ran out of the briefing room with her hand over her mouth, as the rest of the team began discussing the case. Emily ran after her after getting an ok nod from Hotch, finding her in the female toilets crying her eyes out as she leant against the sink, Emily quickly pulled JJ into a hug, which JJ gladly accepted.

"Hey, are you going to tell me what is going on?" Emily asked her best friend though it was more like demand.

"The missing teenager, TJ Walker, is my niece, my sister's daughter," JJ exclaimed through her sobs which went through her body.

"Ok, I'm going to call Will, then we are going to tell Hotch, you need to be there to support your family," Emily told JJ who was still drawing comfort from the embrace.

"No!" JJ practically yelled, making Emily jump a mile.

"No what JJ?" Emily asked her friend, whom of which is the only one who knows that she is into girls.

"Don't call Will, please Em," JJ whispered quietly, and Emily could hear the fear in her voice.

"Ok, I won't call Will, but we have to talk to Hotch," Emily compromised.

Drying her tears, both JJ and Emily headed back to the briefing room, the team watched as JJ took her seat next to Emily, as the team continued to come up with possible UnSub traits. Hotch closed the case file, and stood up out of his seat.

"Wheels, up in thirty Garcia make sure you are all set and ready to come with us, Prentiss, JJ can I speak with you for a minute?" Hotch asked allowing the rest of the team to exit the briefing room.

"What's going on?" Hotch continued asking no one in particular.

"Hotch, the sixth, missing teenager TJ Walker, she's, she's my niece," JJ stuttered out as tears threatened to fall from her sea blue eyes.

"Ok, JJ I don't have to tell you this but you cannot officially work this case, but you can come with us to Pittsburgh," Hotch explained to the female agent.

"Thank you Hotch," JJ thanked her superior agent before all three of them left the briefing room and headed to the airstrip.

Arriving at Pittsburgh PD headquarters, an hour later, JJ saw her mother Sandy Jareau, holding Henry in her lap, who was now four years old, and Dylan Parker Brown TJ's long term boyfriend of four years. The team looked at each other trying to figure out why JJ's mother had Henry. As Henry could see his mom walking into the room and he jumped of his grandma's lap and ran towards his mother.

"Momma!" Henry practically screeched as he ran full pelt into JJ's legs, causing JJ to fall to the ground, pulling Henry down with her.

"Hey Henry," JJ exclaimed, still lying on the ground pulling Henry into a big hug in which he snuggled into her chest.

"Hey momma, are you going to find TJ?" Henry asked innocently looking into his mother's blue eyes, with his own blue eyes.

"We are going to do our best buddy, ok, but you have to be a big brave boy for momma," JJ stood up lifting Henry so he sat on her hip.

"I can be a big brave boy," Henry said with a toothy grin, before wanting to be put down.

JJ put Henry down and walked up to her mother who was seated in the police department's conference room and pulled her into a hug without saying a word, which JJ gladly returned. Dylan stayed seated looking through the photo album he and TJ had created ever since they started dating, the most recent picture being of them together at the park, with both their hands on her small baby bump, tears lined the twenty year olds eyes. JJ released herself from her mother's embrace.

"Mom, can you look after Henry please whilst I talk with Dylan?" JJ asked, looking over to her niece's boyfriend.

"Yes, of course Jenny dear," Sandy replied watching JJ closely.

JJ walked over to TJ's boyfriend who was wearing a grey suit, white shirt and pink tie with black leather shoes, along with Morgan as the rest of the team including Garcia who had joined them due to the technical component of the UnSub.

"Hey, Dylan," JJ called out, which caught Dylan's attention he quickly wiped the tears from his eyes.

"Hey," Dylan said in reply standing up, placing the photo album back on his seat, offering his hand for both agents to shake.

"I'm Agent Morgan, this is Agent Jareau," Morgan introduced them both to Dylan shaking the younger gentleman's hand, which JJ shook straight after Morgan.

"Dylan Parker Brown," Dylan introduced himself to the two federal agents, before sitting back down, in the conference room. "Please find her."

"We are doing all we can to find her," Morgan gave Dylan the standardised answer to any situation like this.

"You don't get it, sir, ma'am, TJ's pregnant," Dylan told JJ and Morgan whilst opening the photo album once again to show them the pictures and sonograms images. "Sixteen weeks pregnant yesterday," he continued to inform them of TJ's physical state.

"Did anyone else know that she's pregnant?" JJ asked slightly trembling over her words.

"No ma'am we were going to tell everybody this weekend coming?" Dylan stated, his finger tracing the picture where TJ was stood lifting her shirt exposing her slight bump, with a wide grin on her face.

"Thank you, we will be back to ask you some questions later on," Morgan told the younger man shaking his hand, before walking back to join the rest of the team to update the profile, JJ stayed with Dylan.

"Can I?" JJ asked gesturing to the photo album.

"Of course Agent Jareau," Dylan handed JJ the photo album, who was sitting right next to him.

"Thank you, and its JJ," JJ told Dylan, he only nodded in reply.

"How long have you to been together?" JJ asked kick starting a conversation between herself and her niece's boyfriend, in the hope that any details he gives her could help locate TJ.

"Four years, next month on the 11TH," Dylan said referring to the 11TH March 2013.

"Wow, you two have been together for a while," JJ exclaimed astonished that a teenage couple had lasted so long, all of hers didn't.

"Yeah, I was going to ask her to move in with me when she goes to Georgetown, I am going to transfer there to finish medical school," Dylan suggested as he broke down into tears, JJ pulled him into a sideways embrace beginning to cry herself.

TJ Walker, had lost her mother Mackenzie Jareau at the age of six months old when the seventeen year old committed suicide, leaving her in the care of her father Daniel Walker, who was sent to prison for involuntary manslaughter when she was sixteen, he was drunk and caused a car crash which ended with four fatalities. TJ had been in the care of her grandma ever since.

TJ is a straight A student, who speaks five different languages, signs ASL, has a black belt in Judo, runs track, plays soccer, softball, swims, does gymnastics, practically participates in every sport known to man and is a free runner. Also she is musically talented playing the drums, piano, guitar, bass and singing, being in the band Lost Souls, with a group of high school friends.

This case was going to take it's tall on all the team but especially JJ and her family. JJ was going to need all the support she could get, as well as Dylan as both his girlfriend and unborn child are missing.
