The look in JJ's eyes was one of pure certainty. She knew that she would do anything to get her son back; anything, even if it meant losing her life. She also knew that Will would do the same. That's what scared her. She couldn't look after Henry without Will. She wouldn't be able to cope with her own loss, let alone mother her fatherless child. She just couldn't think about it. A hand on her shoulder brought her out of her thoughts; she was being guided to a chair. As she let the weight of her feet, she didn't feel any more relieved. Her now seeing eyes glanced around the room.
Emily was sitting in her chair, staring into space. Her mind travelling to what JJ must be going through right now. The normally resourceful agent suddenly felt helpless to ease the pain of her friend.
Hotch could barely hold the stoic expression on his face. He knew what JJ was going through. The painful feelings of guilt, helplessness, responsibility, swarmed his mind as he travelled back to when The Reaper ambushed his family and killed his wife. Water began to cloud his sight as he thought about that dreadful day. He laid a hand on JJ's shoulder, a sign of comfort, knowing it would bring none at all to his friend receiving it.
Derek Morgan couldn't control his anger, his hands balled into fists as he rose from his chair.
'That son of a bitch did what?' he growled, his voice growing in volume and strength with each word. He didn't expect an answer.
Rossi couldn't imagine what she was going through, but it did bring back memories of one if his ex-wives and the topic of euthanasia. She was faced with an impossible decision, just as he had been, and he knew what she would do in the end. He would stop her; he couldn't let this man win.
After the news sank into the technical analyst's mind, tears erupted from her eyes. Henry was her Godson, he was her family. Images flooded her of the cute small blond that reminded her so much of JJ, and her tears turned into sobs. A wave of anger hit her. How could he do this? Kidnap and innocent child? Her innocent godson was being held somewhere and she couldn't do anything to help. Then her sobs declined. She rose abruptly and left the room, her normally smiling face was paved with a glare of determination. She was going to get this son of a bitch, and soon.
There weren't many times in his life that the genius Spencer Reid was lost for words, but this was one of them. Henry, his Godson, had been kidnapped. Spencer hadn't said it, but everyone knew. Being a Godfather had changed his outlook on life. Henry brought to life an aspect of his personality that he never thought he would get to experience, parenthood. Although Spencer wasn't his father, he was as close you could get to it. Henry gave him hope, hope that the world wasn't all serial killers and their victims. He felt violated. That was the word to describe it; violated. He remained chained to his seat until Hotch's voice jolted him out of his silent rage.
'Get to work, everyone. Let's find this son of a bitch and get Henry back safe.'
That was all it took to get a room of profilers into a determined frenzy.
'W-what was it that you wanted me to do, Hotch?' JJ asked, tear stains were wiped away fiercely.
'I was kinda hoping she would talk to me.' Will's accent floated from the door frame where he stood dishevelled, anger accessing his features.
'Will!' JJ ran to the door and wrapped her arms around her husband. He did the same. A new wave of tears ran down JJ's face as she squeezed Will tightly, not willing to let him go quite yet.
Hotch exited the room subtly leaving Will and JJ alone. He couldn't imagine what he would do if this had happened to Jack. He shuddered as he made his way to Garcia's office. As he entered, he noticed that every member of his team, excluding JJ, was present. Before he could say anything, Prentiss spoke.
'The police say they have a witness claiming they saw the man carrying a blond boy into a dark suburban SUV. They got a partial. 'ZYX-0' they also got a description. Blonde, well built, handsome. Their sending us his sketch now.'
'Good, I want his face plastered on the 12 o'clock news. Garcia, I need blueprints to every building surrounding these offices that could get a good view of the back entrance.'
'Coming right up… There are three buildings posted that could get a possible view of the back entrance; all containing at least 10 stories.' Garcia relayed disappointed.
'Print the blueprints out, Garcia. Morgan, once you have the blueprints, get together three swat units, you, Rossi and Prentiss will head one each. Search every inch of those three buildings.'
The three determined looking agents left after a few minutes with the blue prints.
'Reid, you look through the cases that fit the profile, see if any stick out. Garcia, see if there was any footage of the kidnapping, we might get lucky and catch this guy's face. I'm going to interview the witness.'
Reid nodded, adding 'Good luck, Hotch.'
Hotch nodded, and was set on leaving before he heard a voice behind him.
'Hotch, what can I do? I need to do something… Please. I can't sit around here feeling helpless. I just can't.' JJ said, her eyes beaming with determination.
Hotch sighed. 'Talk to Garcia about a sketch of the UnSub we received, I want it everywhere.'
'Thank you.' JJ whispered as she was walking away. Glad that she had something to do. Will had decided to talk to Reid to see if he could look through the files with him in the conference room. She was walking to Garcia's den when she heard her unmistakeable voice whisper.
'Got you, you bastard.' Garcia's unusually grim tone made JJ not want to hear it again.
'Garcia? Do you have something?' she rushed into her office, her hand over her heart.
'I can't get his number plate quite yet but I got the monster's face on camera, not too smart now are you?'
JJ looked at Garcia in confusion, noting the fresh tear tracks that were down her cheeks. Her mind suddenly clicked as she saw the blur of a man pushing a boy into a black SUV; a blond boy. Henry. Her heart wretched from her chest as she realized what this was; the worst moment of her life had been caught on camera.
