David Rossi was still becoming accustomed to having a daughter, a son-in-law and a grandson. After the shock wore off, he became the happiest he had ever been in his life. Joy was everything he could have hoped for and more in a daughter and wished that he could have known about her sooner. Once he, JJ, and Garcia tracked Joy's cell phone GPS location and then realized their suspected unsub was also at the same location, his heart nearly stopped. Without hesitation, he and JJ made their way to an SUV to Joy's location hoping that he would get there in time and praying that nothing will have happened to her.

Upon arriving at GPS location, he saw that it lead down a dark ally. He and JJ pulled their guns and flashlights and began looking for her. After a few minutes, he could hear a faint whimpering coming from behind a dumpster. Just the sound of it made him weak in the knees. He rushed over to and found her lying there bloody and bruised with her shirt ripped open and her pants and panties completely gone. Joy was alive, but he knew without a doubt that she had been raped.

"Joy, baby! Daddy's here! Daddy is right here sweetheart! Oh my God, honey! What has he done to you!?

"Daddy..?" , Joy whispered faintly with a little confusion in her voice.

"Yeah sweetheart, it's Daddy.

"I'm so sorry! I'm so stupid and I should have never tried to confront him. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! This is all my fault!" she blubbered out as she began to sob.

"Oh, my darling! This is NOT your fault. None of this is your fault. You have nothing to be sorry for!" he said as he took his coat off to cover the exposed bottom part of her body.

"Rossi, do you need me to call an ambulance?" asked JJ

"No! No, Please! I don't want to go to a hospital! I just want to go and take a shower and forget this ever happened! Please don't!" she was crying and begging at this point. Rossi's heart began to break as he held his daughter in his arms trying to comfort her.

"Joy, honey, we have to make sure you are okay, physically. We need to make sure there is no internal damage. You need the morning after pill and STI prophylaxis. We also need the forensic evidence to make sure we can put this bastard away for good. We have to get you to the hospital right away."

"Please, Dad, I can't, I just can't. I'm so embarrassed. I can't do this. I can't handle this."

Rossi was shedding tears himself as he tried to convince her it was in her best interest to get checked out. "Sweetheart, I know it's going to be hard, but you really need to go. There could be some serious damage. Think of Kai and your husband. If it's anything serious, think of how devastated they'd be. And I would be as well. You're my daughter and it feels like I've loved you your whole life, not just in the last year since we first met. It would kill me if there was something seriously wrong and you didn't get medical treatment. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. You did absolutely nothing wrong. I'll tell you what. I'm going to call Morgan, his girlfriend works in the ER. She's a woman and I think she's working tonight. I can see if she can take care of you. She is a very sweet, compassionate woman and would be perfect to handle a situation like this."

"I don't want to go in an ambulance. I don't want strangers touching me or feeling trapped on in the back of a squad." Joy whispered.

JJ intervened and said, "Joy, if it would be easier, your dad and I can take you to the hospital ourselves and if you want someone to stay with you during the exam, I will do that for you in a heartbeat."

Rossi felt unbelievably grateful that JJ was back from her maternity leave just in time for a situation like this and so appreciative of her initiative to offer to do something like this for his daughter.

"O…Oka.. okay. I'll go as long as there is no ambulance. But… can… will….." it seemed Joy couldn't find the words to say. She took a deep breath and thought to herself "Just blurt it out and be done with it"

"Dad, instead of JJ, will you stay with me?"

"Kiddo, I will do and be wherever you want me to. I will be by your side every minute as long as you want me there."

Inside, Rossi's heart was breaking. He had met and dealt with hundreds of rape victims in his many years at the BAU, but none ever hit home like this had. This was his baby, his daughter. In all honestly, he wanted to immediately track down the bastard that did this to her and kill him slowly and painfully. But it was more important that he needed to be there for his daughter first and foremost.

"Okay, let's get you into the car. JJ, there is an emergency bag in the back with a blanket in it, can you go grab it for me before we move her?"

"I'm on it." JJ said, and quickly ran to the SUV

"Where are you hurting, honey?"

She looked him in the eyes when she responded. "My ribs, head, legs.. but I hurt the most… " and she quickly averted her eyes and looked away from her father as she completed her sentence… "down there."

"Okay, that's why we need to get you checked out. I'm so sorry this happened, baby. I should have known that you would have tracked him down. You're a journalist. I should have seen this coming!" Rossi pleaded almost as if asking for forgiveness.

"Daddy – it's not your fault. There's no way you could have known. If I had known this is what was going to happen, I never would have sought him out."

JJ returned with the blanket and helped Rossi wrap it around Joy's waist so that her exposed bottom half was completely covered and then put on Rossi's jacket on backwards to cover her front where her shirt and bra had been ripped so she wasn't exposed. They started to help her up, but she doubled over in pain. Rossi quickly scooped her up into his arms and carried her to the car and set her in the backseat. He asked JJ to drive so that he could sit in the backseat with her to hold and comfort her on their way to the hospital. He told JJ to blast the lights and sirens in order to get them there as soon as possible. The whole way there, Joy was sobbing and just kept repeating over and over again, "I'm so sorry Daddy. I'm so embarrassed." And all Rossi could do was hold her close and tell her that it wasn't her fault and she had nothing to be embarrassed about. He was holding one of her hands and could tell she was in a lot of pain because she was gripping his very tightly. This is every father's worst nightmare aside from having their child murdered – is having their daughter sexually assaulted.
