Hey! So I am so happy that some of you guys like the story! I forgot to put thanks in the first chapter so I'll put it now. thanks to Jacqui for letting me use her, thanks to Skye for letting me kill her and thanks to Matao (pronounced Mateo if some of u get confused) for letting me use his name. Get ready because chapter 2 is up!

Five minutes later

Hotch walked into the police station and saw Reid hunched over a map. "What do you have now?"

Reid sighed. "I found a neighborhood. The unsub could be keeping Jacqui at his house." he explained.

Hotch nodded as JJ and Prentiss walked into the room. "The parents told us that they last saw their kids when they left for school or when they left for work. Also, we'll have to question Jacqui's best friend, Brianna Edie, who was last to see her." Prentiss said.

Morgan walked in with two coffees and handed one to Reid, who took a sip. "Mrs. Prison said that Skye walked home from school. The unsub could've gotten her then." he said.

"Katy was picked up by the unsub from dance, and Prentiss told me Jacqui got off of the bus and walked into her house before her parents were home, so the unsub broke into the house before the parents were home from work." JJ explained.

Right then, Reid's cell phone rang. "You're on speaker, Garcia," he said.

"Okay, so I looked into all of the addresses Reid sent me and only a couple of people have records. First, Trevor Dunly, 21, has an assault record for punching a six-year old that… did absolutely nothing. He hasn't been married and none of his relationships ended in the girlfriend having a baby. Now the second one, 39-year-old James Tate, has been divorced and his wife had a child… named Gracie. When they divorced, the wife took everything. The house was under his wife's name, and she lives there. I'm still looking into James." Garcia explained.

Morgan nodded. "Got it, Baby Girl." he hung up the phone and handed it back to Reid. "While Garcia's looking in on Tate, Reid and JJ, go to the school the victims went to. Talk to the principal about each girl and speak to their friends." Hotch ordered. Reid and JJ both nodded and stood to go to the school.

Ten minutes later

JJ

"It's fine that Hotch sent you, Spence. We all know you're bad with kids." JJ said. She and Reid had been arguing about why Hotch sent Reid to question kids.

"Well I'm very weird around kids. I bet they'll just think I'm a nerd." Reid said.

JJ laughed. "That's because you ARE a nerd!"

They pulled into the school's parking lot and got out of the SUV. They walked into the office and saw the principal. "Welcome to Buffalo Public. I'm Mr. Palski. I have to go out on recess duty in a few minutes, so just follow me outside." the principal said.

JJ and Reid followed him to a large playground. A bell rang and children piled out.

"It's very rare that this would happen. People in this community are very close." Mr. Palski stated. JJ nodded. "It can happen anywhere. Now, where are Jacqueline Miller's friends? Does she stay with certain people during recess?"

"She usually stays with a group of girls. Mostly, it's Moira Greensburg, Chelsea Smith and Brianna Edie. I can already see Moira and Chelsea, if you'd like to speak to them." Mr. Palski offered.

JJ smiled. "That would be great. Thank you," she said.

The principal lead them to two girls standing sadly by a wall. Their eyes were teary. "Moira, Chelsea, this is agent Jareau and Doctor Reid. They're from the FBI trying to find Jacqui."

Both girls looked up. "We don't know anything. Bri hasn't told us. She knows a lot about what happened, but she's been blubbery since J went missing." the short girl with dark brown hair said.

"Chels, didn't she say there was a black car in front of J's house? Maybe he took her then." the second girl with long, black hair said, being Moira because she called the shorter girl Chelsea.

JJ spoke up. "Where is Brianna? She was the last person to see Jacqueline. I suppose she'll know a bit more."

Chelsea shrugged. "Bri's been depressed because of Jacqui. I know we're depressed too, but Brianna's seriously not talking. When we went outside for recess, she told us she's staying by the doors. I think she's talking to Matao. They're close friends." she explained.

JJ nudged Reid. "Go and see if Brianna's there. Talk to her."

Reid glared at her. "If you're not good with kids, talk to Bri. She's like a small adult, and she's really smart. I think she'll like you." Moira said. "Oh and be careful. She's a tiny bit suicidal. We check her bag for razor blades and all of that stuff before school so she won't hurt herself. Chelsea even makes sure her pencils aren't sharp enough that Brianna can't cut herself. She's been having problems at home. We look out for her."

Reid nodded. "Thank you, Moira." he said, and then walked around the corner to find Brianna. He found the girl easily. Brianna was sitting on the ground with her legs up to her chin. Her face was buried in her legs so no one could see her face. A shorter boy was sitting beside her.

"Brianna, talk! Please, Bri!" he begged.

Reid cleared his throat and the boy looked up. "Hi. I'm Spencer and I'm with the FBI. Are you Matao?"

Matao nodded. "If you want to talk to Brianna about what happened, she won't talk. I know she's stressed," he said. "She's not letting anyone help."

Reid smiled and kneeled down beside Brianna. "Brianna, I know how hard it is to loose someone. The love of my life was killed right in front of me. I know she won't come back, but the FBI is helping to get your best friend back. Jacqui still has a chance."

Brianna looked up and slightly grinned. Reid saw her with a split lip and a black eye. "There's been so much on my mind. Everything's still compartmentalizing in my brain and I can't really think straight. I can't really work well without my best friend with me." she explained.

"Can I do a cognitive interview with you?" Reid asked kindly. He waited for Brianna to nod, which she did. "Can you tell me how the scene played out on the bus when you last saw Jacqueline?" he asked.

Brianna took a deep breath and closed her eyes. "It was chilly, about the same temperature as today. Jacqui was sitting at the window seat writing her and my name in the fogged-up window. My friends Lucas and Tom are singing a few Pitbull songs and we laugh. Tom's brother Josh uses his hand to pretend and shoot himself because he hates the song they're singing. I laugh my head off. The first stop comes and we say goodbye to Josh and Tom. Jacqui and I go to the back of the bus and start giggling about the drawings Jacqui drew. Matao goes to our seat and talks to us, though the bus driver yells him at. We laugh even more. When we're at Jacqui's stop, I say goodbye to her, Matao and Sam."

Reid nodded as she opened her eyes. "What did you see then?" he asked. "Were there any cars in front of Jacqui's house?"

Brianna's eyes widened. "There was a black car and the man in it was staring at Jacqui as she walked into her house. As the bus drives away, he leaves the car. Was that him?" she said frantically.

"It was. Did you read the license plate or see what the man looked like?" Reid asked.

Brianna shook her head. "I should've gotten off at her stop. I knew my mum wasn't home so I should've gotten off. Stupid me."

Reid looked at Brianna. "You're not stupid. You didn't know someone was going to take Jacqui. It's fine. Thank you for explaining this." he said.

Brianna smiled. "If it helps."

As Reid walked back to JJ, he saw her talking to Mr. Palski. "I think we're finished here. Thank you for letting us come Mr. Palski." JJ said. "How'd it go?" she asked Reid as they walked to the SUV.

"Pretty good. I found out a lot," he said.

JJ smiled. "That'll help. Anything will help."

Unknown

Jacqui lifted her eyes open weakly. She saw that the man wasn't there. Her whole body throbbed with pain. The man had beaten her senseless and almost stabbed her, but was stopped after some negotiation taught to her from Brianna. She needed to leave her alive. As Jacqui almost drifted off to sleep, a loud slam came and the man stormed in.

"You're leaving."
