Here we are :) Finally, the squeal to 'Homesick' that you all voted for.

You can still read this without reading Homesick, but the cookies in here might not make sense if you don't

Anyway, enjoy :)

Erin gave him a piece of paper "This one's from an old friend,"

Hotch looked down at the piece of paper in his hand and read the cursive print then looked back up at her "You've gotta be kidding me,"

"Aaron," she warned him.

"We cannot work with these people," he said "They're cowboys,"

"They're fine agents," said Erin as she looked down at her file.

Hotch looked back down at the piece of paper then walked out of her office and out to the bullpen.

"Everybody to the SUVs with your tablets," he said as he walked along the boardwalk.

"Where are we going?" Reid had just joined them.

"NCIS,"

Everyone's eyebrows went up, with the exception of Alex.

"NCIS?" Morgan asked "Are you positive?"

"Did they actually say the words 'FBI' and 'call' in the same sentence?" asked Emily as they all gathered their belongings.

"Not likely," Hotch said to her "But, this one came through Strauss,"

"Rossi!" Morgan called up "We're goin' on a field trip!"

JJ and Rossi came out looking confused as they made their way down to the bullpen.

"Let me just grab my stuff," JJ said as she jogged back to her office and they made their way to the black SUVs.

"Wait, why is it such a shock that they called us?" Alex asked no one specific "Everyone needs help sometimes,"

"Not these people," Morgan said "They don't like other agencies, especially the FBI and the CIA,"

"What other agencies are there?" Alex chuckled.

"Exactly," Emily replied with a smirk as they all piled into the cars.

The knife slides in as she falls in and out of consciousness. She groans in pain, but not very loud as she's on the verge of blackness.

"Losing your fight already?" it asks rhetorically "You're not as much fun as I thought you'd be,"

She can't tell if she's being attacked by a man or woman, but she didn't really care in that moment. She just wanted it to stop. The pain, the torture.

It grabs her by the hair and she screams briefly as it starts to drag her towards the corner. It lifts her up and puts her in the shackles. She figures that it's a man because no woman could lift her up like that with one hand. He ties his belt around her ankles and she dreads the next part. As she took in her surroundings, she sees a room with no windows and only single light bulb hanging in the middle of the ceiling. There one tall metal cabinet which he makes his way over to and she knows it can't be good. She sees him glance back at her with a wicked grin as he stands under the light and now she can see him. He turns back around and sees him pull out a large box.

'Shit' she thinks 'That's definitely not good'

She sees the jumper cables in the other hand and she starts to squirm in the shackles. He connects one end of the jumper cables to the battery and the other to the belt around her.

"Please, no," she begs as he goes to turn it on. She never begs, but extreme circumstances cause for extreme measures "Please!" tears flow down her cheek as she keeps begging for her life.

"There we go," he lets out a wicked chuckle and she knew this was the end for her "Now it's fun," he says and waits for her to beg for her life one more time before turning the volts up to the highest charge. She screams at the top of her lungs as she feels the volts through her body. She feels pain in every wound he has given her so far. But something told her that electrocuting her was not the end for this creep. Soon she was back into blackness. At least something went her way in this torture.

"We can handle this ourselves," said Gibbs as he stormed into the directors office.

"No you can't," said Leon "And you know you can't,"

"We don't need the Feds," Gibbs said "Especially the bunch of mind readers!"

Leon smirked at him "They already know the case,"

"I know!" said Gibbs then he turned on his heel and stormed back out "Everyone!" he called down to his squad as he retreated down the steps and into the bullpen "Listen up, we have the BAU arriving any minute, be nice DiNozzo, we need to work with them,"

"Why?" DiNozzo whined only to receive a smack to the back of the head "Well, at least there are some...beautiful women," he phrased the question right, to escape the wrath of Gibbs' hand.

"We do not need them, Gibbs," Ziva said "We can handle this ourselves,"

"I know that Ziva," Gibbs said "But Vance doesn't seem to agree,"

"That would be because he's Vance," they heard from behind them. They all spun around to see seven suits standing there with one particular brunette wearing a smirk on her face, to which Gibbs returned.

"Thought you were in London," Gibbs said to her, stepping forward to give her a hug.

Emily shrugged when they pulled apart "Someone brought me to my senses," she quickly glanced at Alex.

"Hotchner," Gibbs nodded to the team leader wearing his stoic mask.

"Gibbs," Hotch returned his nod and stepped aside to let the rest of his team greet.

"You must be Agent Blake," Gibbs said and shook her hand "Emily's told me a lot about you,"

"Oh God," she muttered earning matching smirks from Gibbs and Emily.

"So," said Morgan "What brings us here?"

"He's back," said Gibbs.

"No way," JJ said.

"You've gotta be kidding me," Emily said.

"Shit," Morgan said.

They all spoke in unison as Rossi and Hotch gave each other a look, leaving Alex confused as ever.

"When?" Emily asked, Alex noticed she had stiffened in her stance.

"Three days ago," DiNozzo said "Two dead marines, and there was a note left,"

Emily closed her eyes briefly as she sighed then shook her head as he turned slightly.

"Okay, does someone want to tell me what's going on? Or shall I guess from Emily's body language that this wasn't a pleasant unsub?" Alex asked, making them all look at each other, then back at her before explaining.

"A year ago," Hotch said "Brunette women aged in their mid to late thirties were being brutally raped and murdered,"

"There were no connections between them except for the way they were killed," said JJ "Each time there was a note left, for one person explaining that they wouldn't stop trying to kill them,"

Gibbs was the next to speak "They were all marines, all the same physical type, our M.E found that they all had the same bone structure, and they were all from rich families,"

"We figured he died or went to prison," Rossi said "We didn't stop looking, but we had other cases that needed us,"

"Did you find out who the letters were for?" asked Alex, folding her arms over her chest.

They all remained silent before someone finally spoke up "Me,"

Short, I know, but it'll get better, I promise.
