AN: Hey guys! This is something I've had in my head for a little while, and I really hope you like it!
Aaron Hotchner, David Rossi, Derek Morgan, Spencer Reid, Emily Prentiss, Alex Blake, Ashley Seaver, and Jennifer Jareau all settled into their seats on the big BAU private jet. They were heading home from a case in Tacoma, a serial stabbing by a sexual sadist, and they were all pretty tired. Hotch looked at each of them,
"Alright, it's a long flight home, everyone try and get some rest, we should land in about five hours."
JJ sighed as she settled in next to Prentiss on the couch lining the wall of the plane, she just wanted to get home, she wanted to lay in her own bed with Will and spend some much-needed quality time with Henry. Prentiss knew she was going home to a mountain of paperwork, due to the fact that she was finally buying her own house, and due to her busy work schedule, she hardly had time to fill out the paperwork for her real estate agent. She and Hotch had made plans to go out the next night, but since they'd been away for so long, she knew he would want to be with Jack.
Reid was looking out the window when he felt Seaver slip her hand into his. He smiled at her as she leaned into him, resting her head on his shoulder. Sighing, she looked up at him with her big blue eyes,
"I can not wait to get home…I never thought I would say this, but I actually miss northern Virginia."
Everyone chuckled lightly. Northern Virginia was not known for being the most exciting area to be in. Most of the names of the small cities and towns were unknown, and not too many events occurred outside Washington DC. However, considering the high body count and amount of time spent on this case, they were all happy to get back. Hotch and Blake rolled their eyes at each other as they watched Reid and Seaver cuddle. Their relationship was far from a secret, and they were cute together. Hotch and Prentiss kept their own relationship pretty quiet, but that didn't mean they didn't feel anything less for one another. Hotch looked over at Emily, watching her breathing slow as she relaxed, how she ran her fingers through her silky black hair, and smiled a little to himself. Rossi and Morgan were being fairly quiet, and Hotch knew they were all tired. Seaver was falling asleep on Reid, and JJ and Prentiss had drawn closer together and were getting into comfortable sleeping positions. Blake had rested her head against the window, and pretty soon Hotch heard Morgan's soft snore. Hotch leaned his head back, closed his eyes, and everything faded into peaceful darkness.

Nearly an hour later, Rossi was awoken by the feeling of the jet being jolted up ever so slightly. He turned around to see everyone else, and relaxed when he noticed they were all asleep. He had always been a pretty anxious flyer, and knew he was letting his anxiety get the best of him. He was just about to drift off when there was yet another jolt. This time, everyone else grunted and groaned as they were disturbed. Morgan pulled his headphones off his head and looked at Rossi,
"What's going on?"
"I'm not sure…" Rossi said as he watched everyone else look around with questioning looks on their faces.
JJ stretched her arms, scratched her head, then glanced in the direction of the cockpit,
"I wonder what's up, should I go ask?" She said to no one in particular.
"No, not yet. If there's something wrong the pilot will tell us." Reid replied.
JJ simply nodded her head and sat back. However as she did so, the jet jolted yet again, this time nearly knocking Prentiss off the couch. JJ grabbed her arm and helped her stay seated. Things rattled and fell, and the seatbelt sign came on. Hotch yelled for everyone to remain calm as the cabin became dark and alarms sounded. They heard a crack, and the sound of something breaking. Hotch took one last look at the terrified expressions on his team's faces, then the world went black.
