"Say goodbye to Daddy." Jennifer Jareau told four year old Henry as they walked out the door to go to daycare.
"Bye Daddy!" Henry said waving to his father, William Lamontagne Jr. standing in the doorway.
"Bye Henry," He waved back looking at his son run around the yard. He grabbed his wife by the waist and pulled her close to him, planting a kiss on her lips. "Bye Cher, be safe at work for me."
"I always am. I'll see you when I get home tonight," JJ said pulling away and grabbing Henry by the hand she led him down the sidewalk to the gate. "Bye, I love you!"
"I love you too!"
"I love you three!" Henry shouted making the couple laugh as JJ drove away in the car.
Once at the daycare, JJ unbuckled her son from his car seat and led him into the building. When they walked through the door JJ bent down to Henry's level, "Have fun today. I love you." She said and gave him a peck on the lips.
"Otay, I love you mommy." He hugged her and then ran off to his buddies playing with playdough.
'He's growing up so fast.' JJ thought as she watched him playing with his friends.
"Ok, and don't forget to pick up Henry from daycare in an hour... Love you too." JJ hung up the phone after talking to Will. She sat at her desk going over paperwork and case file reviews when a knock on her door interrupted her.
"Hey, I'm about to get everyone coffee from that new cafe that just opened up down the road. Want anything?" Emily asked, sticking her head through the door.
"Yeah, as a matter of fact, I'll go with you. I could use a break." JJ said as she shut the file she had been looking at, grabbed her purse and followed Emily out the door to the SUV.
When they got to the cafe they found it was packed inside. "Must be good then," Emily said with a snort. "Might as well wait."
Thirty minutes later they walked into the BAU with seven steaming hot coffees in hand.
"Well finally! We were beginning to think something had happened to you two." Morgan teased as everyone came and got their coffee.
"It better be good cause we had to wait in line 25 minutes for these," JJ said, blowing on her coffee to cool it down some. Just then her phone rang, she looked at the caller ID before setting her coffee down and answering. "Hey Will... Whoa, slow down...," Everyone looked at her with concern as her face paled and she covered her mouth with her hand as tears sprung to her eyes. "Oh God." She dropped the phone in her hands and her knees gave out, luckily Morgan and Hotch lunged forward and caught her before she hit the ground.
"Are you ok? What did Will say?" Hotch asked JJ, who was leaning on him for support.
She looked up to the team around her with tears running down her face. "Henry.. He's, he's gone!" She sobbed. Hotch let out a deep sigh and put his arms around her as everyone gasped in horror.
"What do you mean he's gone?" Garcia asked with tears already in her eyes.
"Will.. Will said that the daycare called. And said that a man, came in claiming to be my brother and that he was there to pick up Henry... They said they were going to call me to verify it when, he pulled a picture of me and Henry out of his wallet.. And.. And he just took him!" She choked out only to start crying again.
"Ok, we aren't taking any more cases until we find Henry. This is our top priority." Hotch said as Will came bursting through the door. His hair was frazzled and his eyes were red and puffy.
"Will!" JJ said as she flung herself into his open arms where she broke.
"It's ok JJ, we'll find him." Will said soothingly as he gently rubbed circles on her back with his fingertips.
After a few minutes of Will whispering soothing things in her ear she finally calmed down. She entangled herself from Will's arms and turned and looked at Hotch, a new fire in her red, puffy eyes, "Let's get this ba*****."
