Agent Jennifer Jareau rushed towards the police line surrounding the mall. Before the police officer had time to get a word out, she quickly flashed her FBI badge. The officer nodded and lifted the police tape for the media liaison to pass. Following right on her tail was her beloved team, including her best friend Penelope Garcia who technically wasn't really on the team but is the team's personal technical analysis and 'Goddess of All Knowledge'. Garcia wasn't really here for the case though. Rarely did she travel with the team. Especially when it's in D.C. but Garcia insisted she came to help JJ and catch the bastard that stole her Godson.

Bursting through the front doors to the mall, JJ walked straight up to a tall droopy faced man. "What the HELL have you done?" she yelled in Will LaMontagne's face.

"JJ, Baby, I'm so sorry." The southern man begged for JJ forgiveness even though he knew he didn't deserve it. He was only suppose to go out and get Henry, their son, some new clothes since he was growing so fast. Now he lost his only son and if he doesn't find him he will lose his fiancé too. He reached out to pull her into a hug but JJ pulled away and turned to the head officer.

"Where is my baby?" JJ cried hysterically. Pleading with the large officer in front of her.

"I'm sorry, ma'am but we have no lead so far. We do believe he is still in the mall though and it is on total lock down. I promise we will find him." the officer tried to reason with the distressed woman.

At that moment the rest of the team caught up with JJ. Hearing that there was no leads broke JJ down even more. Garcia braced herself for the hug she was sure JJ would collapse into, but was shocked when she saw her fall into the arms of Special Agent Emily Prentiss. In fact, everyone was shocked, including Emily, but she soon recovered and comforted her friend. It wasn't as though Emily and JJ didn't trust each other, everyone was just use to Garcia being the one to comfort the team, especially JJ.

"Shh, it's going to be okay," Emily soothed the sobbing women in her arms.

"How can you say that with all the stuff we see?" JJ choked out.

"Because everyone is here to catch this son of bitch and you know we all will." JJ clung tighter to Emily and cried harder. Hotch turned to the team and started handing out assignments to the different members of the team.

"Garcia, look at every single security camera. I need to find everything can get off every camera." Hotch said in a stern voice. "Morgan and Reid I want you to start interviewing witnesses. Dave go with Will to examine where Henry was last seen. Prentiss," He paused and looked at JJ still hanging on to the older agent. "Take care of JJ."

"No Hotch, I need to be a part of this." JJ quickly said with urgency, twirling out of Emily's arms.

"I know how you feel, but right now you are in no shape to help." Hotch stated with an even voice.

JJ started to protest, when Emily stepped in. "Come Jayje. I'll keep you posted with everything. Right now, you just need to rest." She then took the blonde's hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze. JJ turned and looked up at the brunette, searching her eyes, then gave a small nod. "'Kay, come on lets go sit down." Emily led JJ to a near by coffee shop and sat her down on the couch. "Do you want me to get you something to drink?"

JJ shook her head, "No can you just sit with me?" Emily nodded her head and sat beside JJ on the leather couch. JJ scooted closer and hugged Emily's arm close.

"Hey," Emily got her attention. "Everything is going to be okay." She smiled down to help her in some way. JJ eyes fell upon the older woman's lips. Her smile was sweet and looked so beautiful. Emily was caught off guard by the intense stare JJ had on her mouth. "Tell me about Henry." She quickly change the subject. Now was not the time to profile JJ strange behavior around her lately.

"You know about him, Em. You visited him before." JJ said, shaking herself out of her trance.

"No, that's not the same. No one knows him like you… well, maybe Garcia."

JJ let out an emotionless chuckle. "Well, you're his favorite." she admitted with a small sad smile.

"What?"

"Yeah, he always asks for Princess Emmy."

"Princess?" Emily gave JJ the most confused look she has ever given.

"Yeah I think he heard Hotch call you Prentiss one time and thought he said Princess. Do you know you're the only one I've heard him call by name?"

"Really?" JJ nodded. "Well, I'm perfectly fine being a Princess, but I am NOT wearing a tutu." at that, JJ busted up laughing. Completely forgetting about why she was here. Out side the coffee shop, Will and Morgan were walking towards the girl and witnessed the large smile spread across the young woman's face. Seeing this action between the two made Will feel a twinge of jealousy. He reasoned in his head that they were close friends and it was a good thing that JJ wasn't wallowing. Still, he couldn't help but wish that he was the one holding JJ and helping her feel better.

Morgan saw the interaction too, and hated to interrupt it, but he still took those few steps toward the door. "Hey," the two girls looked up and saw the dark man standing in the door way. "Em, Hotch needs you," he said with a professional voice. Emily nodded and looked down at JJ who was still clinging to her arm.

"I'll be right back and let you know what's happening." She reassured the young woman, but one look at the broken face told her that she wasn't going anywhere. "Morgan, can stay with her?" she searched for a replacement.

"I'll stay with her," Will spoke up before Morgan, hoping to become the one that makes JJ smile again. But with one look at JJ's face, you could tell that she was less than thrilled with that idea.

"Actually, Garcia wants you to look at some of the video footage, Will." Morgan said, and JJ let out a sigh in her head, but still hasn't let go of Emily's arm. Will didn't hide the disappointment as he walked out towards the security office. "I'll be glad to stay with you JJ." Morgan said stepping in more towards the two agents.

Emily finally squirmed out of JJ's grasp and stood up next to Morgan. "I'll be right back." She said to JJ, then turned and whispered to Morgan, "Take care of her."

"Of, course." he replied with a nod, then sat down next to JJ. Once Emily was out of the shop, Morgan grabbed JJ's hand and gave it a squeeze and everything went silent. "So what got that smile on your face earlier, cause I could really use some help with this comforting thing." Derek broke the ice first.

JJ let out a small smile at the thought of her conversation with Emily. "Picturing Prentiss in a tutu." Morgan busted up laughing.

"How in the world did you get on that topic?" He asked in astonishment.

"You need me Hotch?" Emily said walking toward her unit chief. He was standing next to some potential witnesses. It would take forever to interview everyone. There had to be more than 300 people in the mall. Not including workers.

"Uh, yeah you're better with the children, so I want you to start interviewing them, see if they saw anything weird going on in the children's section at the time." Hotch ordered in a strong voice. He was stressed and worried about JJ. He knew what it was like to have your child in the hands of an unsub and it wasn't an easy thing to go through. Emily nodded and went to walk away, but was stopped by Hotch's voice. "Prentiss!" she turned around to face her boss. "How is she holding up?"

"Like any mother who has just found out that their child has been kidnapped." was Emily's simple answer. Hotchner nodded in understanding then let her go ahead to question the children. She walked up to a little boy around ten years old. Hotch had all the people that were around where Henry was abducted separate from the others. There were four children that had been nearby at the time and no one knew how to talk to children quite as well as Emily. The dark haired boy was standing next to his mother as she held him protectively to her side.

"Hi, I'm Agent Prentiss," Emily introduced herself to the young mother, sticking out her hand. "I was wondering if I could talk to your son?" She used a soft, cautious voice, but it didn't do anything for the terrified mother.

"Why do you have to talk to him?" The mother spat paranoid. "He's just a little boy, he won't know anything. He's not the kidnapper either." She rambled, too afraid to let go of her son.

"I understand that ma'am, but children are actually more perceptive than you might think. He could have saw something that most would dismiss. Children tend to stare off more than adults, who focus more." Emily tried to explain how crucial this was.

"Are you saying that I'm so ignorant that I can't help more than my own boy?" The mother got defensive.

"Not at all, ma'am. I'm only saying he can be of great value to our investigation." The woman look skeptical. "Listen, I understand you are on high alert and you think that this could have just as easily been your son that was taken, but that is why you should understand that we need to use everything we can think of to help this mother find her child." Emily purposefully left out the fact that she knew the victim's mother.

Reluctantly the woman loosened her grip on her son and looked up at the older agent. "Take care of him. He's just a kid." Emily nodded and guided the child over to a more secluded place.

Morgan's laughter subsided slowly as he waited for JJ to explain the randomness of picturing Emily Prentiss in a tutu. "We started talking about how Henry called her Princess Emmy and she said that she didn't mind being a princess as long as she didn't have to wear a tutu." Morgan chuckled again.

"You know, I think out of everyone on the team, I've only heard that little boy say Emily's name." Morgan admitted and JJ let out a small smile that didn't really reach her eyes.

"That's what I told her." JJ admitted. "God, Morgan we have to find him!" she started to cry again, finally remember the reason for being in this position. Morgan pulled her into a hug, but it wasn't the same as being held by Emily. Morgan was full of hard biceps and a muscular chest. Emily's thin arms offer soft comfort. She not that the comfort from Morgan didn't help, but she much preferred to be in someone else's arms and that sadly it wasn't the arms of her fiancé.

"We'll find him, and I'm sure that we will be taking turns kicking this unsub's ass." Morgan reassured her with all confidence. With no doubt he knew his last statement was true. When they found this son of a bitch everyone on the team would gladly break protocol and beat him to a pulp. He was so sure that he would almost bet that even Garcia take a gun to the guys head.

Emily sat down with the young boy at one of the tables and handed him a bottle of water. "Are you thirsty?" She asked setting the water in front of the boy on the table. The kid just shook his head shyly. "My name's Emily. What's your's?" She introduced herself to help make the kid more comfortable.

"Matthew," he said in a small voice, avoiding eye contact with Prentiss.

"Hi, Matthew. Do you know what's going on?" Emily said gently. She had to slowly get him to talk. She knew a kid can't be rushed and can get easily frustrated if they are.

"Some kid's been stolen." Matthew said, remembering his mother's mumbles about how she was glad he wasn't the one that was taken.

"That's right," Emily replied lightly, "Matthew, have you seen this little boy?" She handed him the picture JJ let the team borrow to show around. Matthew took a quick glance at the picture and nodded his head when he looked away. "Did you see who he was with?"

"He walked into the store with a man."

"What did the man look like?" Emily prodded.

"Short hair, tall. He had a long head. He talked kinda funny too."

Emily sighed and took out another picture. "Did he look like this?" she asked Matthew showing him the picture of Will.

"Yeah, that's him." Matthew nodded.

"Okay, Matthew, I'm going to ask you to close your eyes and picture everything I say okay?" Emily asked softly, hopping she can get something out of his memory. Matthew slowly nodded. "'Kay, now close your eyes," Matthew did as he was told. "Now, you've just entered the store, go through what you did,"

Flashback…

I walked into the store with mommy and she immediately walked over to the close that didn't cost as much as the others. She was looking at the pants when I turned and saw the little blond boy enter with the tall guy. He was looking around with wide eyes and I thought that this was probably his first time at the mall. Mommy saw the tall guy and smiled at him. I knew the look she gave him, it's the look she gives all the guys she likes. When the man saw her he walked over with his own smile and his little boy followed him.

"I'm Clarissa," Mommy said and stuck out her hand to the guy. "and this is my son, Matthew." the tall guy smiled at her and didn't even look at me.

"Will," I think the guys name was, but I just rolled my eyes and looked at the little boy. "and this is Henry."

"Mattie, why don't you keep Henry company while I talk with Mr. Will." This wasn't the first time Mom dismissed me for a guy, so I just took Henry to look at the toys. I think daddy called what mom likes to do… flirting. She would toss her hair and lean forward a lot. Anyways, Henry was looking at this really cool remote control car when a lady walked over to us. She said she was Henry's mom, but she called him a different name. She looked like him though. After she picked him up he started getting mad because he wanted to keep playing and didn't want to go, but she took him anyways.

When I came back to Mom, she gave the tall guy her number. He smiled and accepted it and then turned to me and asked where Henry was and I said his mommy came and got him. And that's when he started to get panicked and I got on the phone and then mommy took me out of the store and then all this happened.

End of Flashback

Emily had fire burning in her eyes. Will had gone off and flirted with another woman, who was not his fiancé and because he was too horny to watch his son, Henry was taken right under his nose. Once she saw him again she was going to break his nose. Matthew mistook her anger towards Will for anger for him and he started crying and saying he was so sorry. Just then, Emily was snapped out of her fantasies of beating the southerner to a pulp.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know." Matthew cried harder.

"No, no, no. It's okay. I'm not mad at you. I'm sorry." Emily calmed the boy down and his crying subsided. "Matthew, can you tell me what this woman looked like?"

Matthew took his time to stop from choking on his tears and nodded, "She was around mommy's height and really blonde and had a big hat on."

"What else was she wearing?" Emily pressed, glad that someone had seen the person who kidnapped her friend's son.

"Um…" Matthew struggled and closed his eyes tight. "Blue jeans and a white t-shirt with black writing on it." That narrowed it down to 70% of the mall. "She was really skinny too."

Emily nodded and decided that was all she was going to get out of the boy. "Okay, thank you Matthew. You really helped." she offered him a smile and he returned it. "You can go back to," your whore of a "mom, now." Matthew nodded and ran back over to his mom and Emily got up to go tell Hotch about how their bastard was a bitch.

Emily found Hotch in the coffee shop with Morgan and JJ. He was standing up talking to JJ who was still broken down in Morgan's arms. Emily's heart broke to see JJ like that and she would do anything to change places with her. Then, her anger rose once again remembering JJ was crying all because the man she loves went off to flirt with some one else. From what Emily had heard Matthew say, she had already worked out a rough draft profile. The unsub was a delusional woman who saw Henry as her son, which she probably lost in some way and is now thinks that Henry is her real son and most likely this woman won't give him up too easily.

Emily sighed and walked into the coffee shop. Everyone looked up at her waiting to see what she had to say. "I know more about our unsub," but she stopped when she heard someone walk in behind her. She turned and saw it was none other than Will. "but first," she said just loud enough for everyone in the room to hear, then she walked straight up to will and swung her fist right into his nose.

"Oh, my God," JJ yelped and shot up from the couch.

"What the Hell?" Will yelled holding his now bleeding nose.

"Prentiss!" Hotch and Morgan yelled together, running to hold her back.

"Next time you think about leaving your kid unsupervised while you flirt with some random bitch, DON"T!" Emily shouted at the former detective and spat at him. She finally wriggled free of the two grown men and turned to Hotch. "Or Unsub is a delusional blonde woman that thinks Henry is her son." Then she stormed out of the shop in search of an escape, leaving everyone there wide eyed, excluding Will who was still squinting from the pain in his now broken nose.

Ok, this is Chapter 1. Tell me what you think. Hope your liking it.
