Rossi was asleep in his bed when his phone started ringing.
"Dave get your phone." Sandy nudging his arm
"It's to early for that phone to be going off." Dave mumbled as he grabbed it.
"Agent Rossi" Dave
"Dave this is Shane, Will's brother, sorry to wake you." Shane
"Shane is something wrong?" Dave sitting up a little
"One of our patrols pulled over a man tonight. He didn't have any identification with him and won't give his name; there was a little girl in the car with him. The cop thought it was his daughter or granddaughter but it turns out he kidnapped the little girl and according to the little girl there is another little girl." Shane
"What did the guy say?" Dave
"That he would only talk to the BAU, the little girl too, he asked for your team specifically. When I asked him why, he said he had the answers to a case you've been trying to solve for almost five years." Shane told Dave
"You thought of Sidney." Dave asked which also caught Sandy's attention
"Yes, I know it's a long shot but with the guy kidnapping this little girl. I was hoping you guys could come help and if you can get permission for Will to come he knows the area they were pulled over better than I do." Shane
"Let me call Aaron and run it past him. I don't want you to call Will or JJ until I call you back." Dave
"I would rather you tell them." Shane admitted
"Okay. Let me see what I can do." Dave hanging up
/
Dave took a deep breath; he knew that he was going no matter what.
"Dave what's going? Did Shane find something about Sidney?" Sandy
"Honey, I don't know. Shane's not sure yet, please don't get your hopes up it could be another bad lead." Dave
"Why did he call?" Sandy
"They pulled over a guy and looks like he kidnapped a little girl; he said he will only talk to my team and that he has information on a case that we have been trying to solve for almost five years." Dave
"Call Aaron, I'll get dressed when you guys take this case then I'll go to Jens to watch the boys." Sandy getting up
Dave hit the speed dial button for Aaron.
"This better be good Rossi." Hotch answered
"I need you to get the team permission to work a case in New Orleans and include Will in it, we were invited in." Rossi
"What case? Not that I mind but why are we getting Will involved." Hotch
"Short version of the story, Shane, Will's brother, just called me they have a unsub that won't speak to anyone but the team I am on, he had a little girl with him that appears to be kidnapped, she says there is another little girl, she too will only talk to us. The unsub told Shane he has information on a case we have been trying to solve for almost five years." Rossi told him
"Have you told JJ and Will yet?" Hotch asked
"No but you are thinking the same thing I did." Rossi
"Yes, I thought of Sidney and yes we are going. I'll call Strauss to get permission for Will to work with us, I also see if I can get Emily." Hotch
"I can call the team and JJ instead of the office I would prefer to go straight to the air strip." Dave
"Okay an hour. I will have to go by the office to get Will a badge and I need to try to get ahold of Jessica." Hotch
"Have Emily take Jack to JJ's, Sandy is going there to stay with the boys as soon as I tell them." Dave
"Okay, tell her thanks." Hotch hanging up
/
Rossi sent the follow message to Garcia, Alex, Spencer and Morgan.
"Be at the airstrip in an hour. Important case we are going to New Orleans may involve Sidney, you all know the rules. Rossi"
"Are you calling Jen?" Sandy walking back into the room
"I am getting ready to. Emily is going to bring Jack to the house. I hope you don't mind I kind of volunteered you." Rossi
"Of course I don't care. Just make sure you take care of Jen and Will." Sandy
"You know I will." Rossi as he hit the button for JJ's phone.
/
JJ and Will were still on the couch talking, when her phone started ringing.
"Seriously it's six in the morning." JJ grabbing her phone
"Hello" JJ
"Hey kiddo, it sounds like you were awake." Rossi
"Yeah, Will and I are sitting here talking. What's going on?" JJ
"We have a case and we need Will to work it with us." Rossi
"What kind of case? Is it local?" JJ
"Put me on speaker and I'll explain." Rossi
"Okay" JJ looking at Will as she put the phone on speaker.
"Dave" Will
"The case is in New Orleans; Shane called and asked for our help. The unsub will only talk to our team and it appears he kidnapped a little girl maybe two. Shane said Will knows the area better than he does so Aaron got permission for Will and Emily to work with us." Rossi
"Emily? What are you not saying?" JJ asked
"He told Shane that he had information on case we have been trying to solve." Rossi not wanting to get either of their hopes up
"What case?" Will asked
"I am honestly not sure." Rossi
"Dave what did the unsub say?" JJ
"That we would want to talk to him because he has information on a case we have been trying to solve for almost five years." Rossi told them
JJ looked at Will, they both were thinking of Sidney.
"The boys" JJ
"Your mom is up and dressed I will be bringing her there and Emily is going to be dropping off Jack. Get your bags ready." Rossi
"Okay" JJ as she hung up.
/
JJ looked at Will before saying anything.
"Sometimes when we are cases like this or when I hear the team talking about a possible lead I have to make myself go numb." JJ told him
"How do you do that?" Will asked as they both got up
"I can't think about Sidney or the boys. I have to pretend like I don't have any feelings because when they don't come back alive or the team doesn't find her the pain is twice as bad." JJ as she walked into their bedroom.
"Your saying not to get our hopes up." Will walking to his drawer grabbing some shirts
"Right we can't look at this like it could be Sidney." JJ as she pulled clothes and two bags out of the closet
"Okay but don't forget that I am going to be here with you." Will
"I won't and I am there for you." JJ putting the last of their clothes in the bags
"Should we wake the boys?" Will
"I want to tell them bye but they don't need to get up." JJ
"Okay, your mom and Dave should be here anytime." Will walking out of the room.
/
They went to Henry's room first; he was now eleven and still had the sweetest personality. JJ still had a hard time believing he was not a baby any more.
"Buddy" Will entering his room
"Urm" Henry
"Buddy, I need you to wake up just a little a little." Will
"Dad, it's too early." Henry
"I know and we're sorry. Dad and I are going to work a case; Nana is coming to watch you and Chase. I wanted to tell you bye and that I love you." JJ
"I love you both and I'll keep Chase out of trouble." Henry told them
"Thanks buddy, Jack will be here too. Go back to sleep." Will as they walked out of his room.
/
They went to Chase's room next, like Henry he looked like JJ but had Will's eyes. Chase who was eight, also had more of JJ's personality, he was hyper and loveable but most of the time a handful. JJ went into the room first.
"Monkey" JJ
"I am not going to school." Chase
"Daddy and I are going on a case; Nana is going to watch you and Henry, be good please." JJ
"I know." Chase
"Your momma and I love you." Will
"Me too. Can I sleep now?" Chase
"Yes" JJ as she kissed the top of his head.
/
Ten minutes later
Dave and Sandy pulled up to the house at the same time Emily pulled up with Jack, who was still half asleep. They all walked up to the front door together.
"Hey" Will opening the door
"Good morning" Sandy as everyone walked in
"Jack the guest bed is made up for you." JJ walking into the room
"Urm thanks" Jack walking towards the steps
"Sorry" Emily hugging JJ
"Don't be we got the same response from Henry." JJ
"The four of us need to head out." Dave
"Okay. Mom you know where everything is, I would let them sleep for as long as possible." JJ giving Sandy a hug
"Keys to the cars are on the counter." Will
"Come back safe. Call me if you need anything." Sandy
"We will." JJ and Emily as they walked out the door, Will followed them
"I will let you know as soon as I do. I love you." Dave giving her a kiss
"I love you too. Take care of my baby." Sandy
Rossi smiled as he walked out the door.
/
Morgan, Alex, Garcia and Reid were already on the plane when Rossi, Emily, JJ and Will board.
"Hey looks like we got extra help." Morgan
"Someone needs to remind you how to act." Emily
"Where's Hotch?" Reid
"He had to run to the office to get Will a badge then he will be here." Rossi told them
"What do we know about the case?" Alex finally asked
"I want to wait until Hotch gets here before I tell you the details but Will and Emily are both working this case as part of the team and it was Will's brother Shane that called us in." Rossi
Everyone looked around at each other not sure what to say, Rossi's text told them not say anything to JJ, the assumed she wouldn't be working the case now both her and Will were working.
"Don't everyone talk at once." JJ sitting down
"You are more awake than the rest of us." Garcia
"You are so not telling the truth; let me guess. When Rossi text you he reminded all of you of the rule." JJ smirking
"How do you know about that?" Rossi
"Because I have learned most of your tricks." JJ
Will and Emily both looked at them.
"When they get a lead, the rule is they are not allowed to say or tell me." JJ explaining
"We don't want to get your hopes up." Morgan
"I know." JJ leaning more on Will
"Thank you." Will looking at the team
"Sorry guys, Shane faxed the information over so we could go over the case before we land." Hotch as he boarded the plan.
"Morgan could you let the pilot know we are ready." Rossi
"Absolutely." Morgan standing up
Everyone took their seats. Garcia sat next to Alex with Morgan and Spencer across from them; JJ, Will and Rossi sat on one of the couches with Emily and Hotch on the other. JJ closed her eyes trying to go numb.
/
Ten minutes later – Rossi had filled in the rest of the team on his phone conversation with Shane.
"Okay here is a copy of what Shane faxed me." Hotch as he started handing out the papers.
"They pulled him over." Alex
"Yes and he wouldn't give them any information." Rossi
"Why did the pull him over?" Spencer
"He was speeding and no tags." Hotch
"Did they run the plates or Vin?" Will
"Yes, came back to a Nancy Logan. He won't say who she is and the address is an old one." Hotch
"Could be a wife or a girlfriend" Morgan
"Has the little girl spoken since they were picked up?" JJ asked
"No she hasn't and she only told the cop that he took her and another little girl." Hotch
"Are they guessing the age of the little girl?" Emily
"With her size they think around seven, but they are not sure." Hotch
"What about finger prints?" Garcia
"None pulled up and she doesn't match the description of any missing little girls." Hotch
"He hasn't said anymore way he wants us specifically." Alex
"No" Hotch
"Okay so I am going to play devil's advocate." Morgan looking at JJ and Will
"Go for it." JJ
"This guy asks for us because he has information on a case that we having been trying to solve for five years and a little girl that hasn't been reported missing. I know that Sidney was the first thing most of thought of, what if the little girl at the station has also been missing since she was a baby." Morgan
"That would explain why her finger prints aren't in the system." Spencer
"If Garcia goes back six or seven years and finds baby's missing and then ages the photo we may have an answer." Emily
"The problem is what if she isn't from New Orleans." Garcia
"I want you to look for all the information you can find on Nancy Logan, let's talk to the little girl before we start the search." Rossi
"We are landing in ten minutes." Hotch
"Before we land and start working, please remember that this may have nothing to do with Sidney and you can't leave Will or me out of whatever is found." JJ
"JJ's right, everyone stay's in the loop." Rossi
Emily and JJ exchanged a look.
"Read the file." Hotch noticing the exchange between the two women.
"You need to text your mom and let her know we are here working and that the boys aren't with us." JJ looking at Will
"She probably already knows but I will." Will told her
"I am taking bets." Morgan
"On what?" Emily
"If we aren't back in two days that Momma Sandy will be here." Morgan
"I'll take that bet." Spencer
"She has the boys and Jack, I don't know." Emily
"You have met my wife." Rossi laughing
"And Will's mom, my bet is that they will be here tomorrow." JJ
"I am agreeing with JJ." Will
"Me too. The two of them together can be a very dangerous thing." Rossi
Hotch watched the team relaxed a little as they landed.
Please read and review. Thank you.
