A/N - Thanks for the reviews for my first chapter. This one is a little longer, and they'll be longer and longer once the base is laid. Please review!

Emily slowly opened her eyes and quickly held her hand to her head. The pain was unbearable as she slowly lifted her head and sat up against the wall. She squinted as she took in her surroundings. The walls were white and the floor was a dark grey. There was one door, and only two tiny windows above her head, hitting the ceiling. It looked like a basement.

She turned to her left to see an unconscious JJ laying beside her. Emily slowly crawled over to JJ, her hand still on her head. She gently shook JJ's arm, earning a tiny moan. "JJ? Sweetie, wake up for me."

JJ softly shook her head, her hands moving to her head. Her hands covered her face as she let out a groan. "Damn, Em. I feel like I was hit in the head with a steam boat!"

Emily bit back a laugh. "A steam boat?"

"What? They're really big and heavy."

Emily shook her head as she helped JJ sit against the wall. "You've been spending to much time with our beloved genius."

JJ looked around the room and she held her arm. "Where are we?"

She earned a shrug from Emily.

Emily looked at JJ to see her hand covering her arm above her elbow. "JJ, why are you holding your arm? Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just a bit sore, I guess."

Both woman shot their heads up as the door swung open. "Hello ladies."

Hotch woke up to the sound of a sharp knocking on his door. He grunted as he stood and swung the door open. "What!"

Reid quickly moved his hand back to his side and gulped. He looked as if he'd seen a ghost, making Hotch groan. "Reid, it's only four in the morning, what is it?"

"W-well, uh… I had a nightmare… and, JJ usually helps me with them, but I went to her and Emily's room and they weren't there."

Hotch's eyes widened as he ran back into his room.

"Hotch?"

"Get the team! They've been kidnapped."

Emily and JJ held onto each other as the man stood in the center of the room, the two men they'd seen at their hotel room door coming in behind him. "I'm guessing you want to know who I am."

"And why we're here!"

The man smirked. "Well Emily, quite a temper we have there. I don't think you want to do that." The two men clasped their hands in front of them as they stepped beside the man. Emily and JJ quietly sunk back into the wall while staring up at their captors.

"Now," the man started, throwing his suit jacket onto the floor. "I will first tell you both why you are here. My wife, Maria, died four years ago. I've been looking for a replacement ever since, and no one has seemed to live up to her standards."

"So, we're here to be-"

"To be contestants, my dear Jennifer. Contestants in my little game."

Emily gulped. "Of becoming your wife." It wasn't a question."

The man smirked and bent down so he was eye level with both women. "Now, it's time to take part in the first activity. Jennifer, Dominic will take you to the kitchen and instruct you." He turned to the other man, the one not going near JJ. "Greg, take Miss Emily to the bedroom."
