1. NEBRASKA
Aaron Hotchner and his team boarded the jet to Quantico, Virginia. After five days in Nebraska they had finally caught the UnSub who had killed multiple women and kidnapped one of there own, holding her captive for two days, this case had taken a toll on the entire team and it became personal as soon as one of their own had been taken.
This UnSub had killed five women within four days, the team made the profile and based on the Vitctimology Agent Emily Prentiss, one of their newest profilers fit the UnSub's desire, which meant she would be the one to go undercover. She didn't mind going undercover it was part of the job, she accepted it, was even excited to help in anyway possible to catch this guy. It was the first time she had been given the task since she joined the BAU two months ago. She settled right into the scene where the UnSub had been finding the women. After several hours undercover Emily slipped away to use the bathroom, only to end in being attacked by the guy they had been looking for all night. He ripped her ear piece out of her ear, grabbed her gun from its holster and threw the agent into the van he had use to kidnap all the other women.
After 2 days the team had pieced together all the evidence and managed to locate the UnSub, who they found was a local named Jason Lehner. They entered the house and ended up in a shooting war with Jason, Morgan took him down before he had a chance to shoot anyone on the team. Then they began making their way through the house, searching every room for Agent Prentiss. It was Morgan who entered the basement first, followed close behind by JJ. They had their guns drawn and split up to look for Emily. Morgan was the one to find her, curled into a ball left in only her undergarments, battered and beaten, unconscious. Morgan quickly made his way to her, calling for JJ and the paramedics.
Although Emily was unconscious when Morgan found her she was released from the hospital within a few hours, which she was happy about. It wasn't a secret that she hated hospitals. The UnSub Jason Lehner had left her with bruises over her entire body, a cut on her forehead from when he knocked her out at the bar, a huge headache and some deep gashes from a knife on her back and stomach to requite multiple stitches. The doctor had given her painkillers, and hadn't it been for JJ insisting she take them, she wouldn't have taken them. When they arrived at the jet, she still hadn't spoken a word to any of the team. She didn't know what to say, she felt like she failed them by getting kidnapped by the UnSub.
