Hotch was furious, he couldn't stop it, there was nothing he could do. He slammed the door with his fist and then flipped the dining room table before he went out the front door, sending organized papers flying all over the room. His breathing was heavy, he was helpless and to him that was the worst feeling he could have. He rubbed his hands through his hair, in frustration.

The last time he had this feeling was shortly after Jack was born and Haley had been killed. Since Emily had joined the team things had changed for Hotch. He was able to move on with his life and feel again, losing the guilt over Haley's death. Emily was someone he had learned to lean on and she was always willing and able to come and help with baby Jack anytime of the day or night regardless of what she was doing. She was easy for him to talk to.

Now another woman he has grown to love was in trouble and he wasn't going to let her die, he was going to save her, but they needed another clue. Hotch continued to stay outside collecting his thoughts and regaining his temper before he went too far and released his anger out on his team.


Rossi was trying his best to talk and comfort JJ.

JJ was first to speak as Rossi followed her outside, "I wish that was me instead of her." JJ said standing on the back porch.

"You can't blame yourself." Rossi said walking up beside her.

"Yes I can, because it is my fault."

"JJ you can't do this to yourself. It will eat at you. The best thing we can do is keep looking and keep trying and we will find her."

Tears started rolling down JJ's cheeks. Emily hadn't been with the team very long, but in that little amount of time JJ and Emily had become close. She couldn't control them anymore, her head fell in her hands and she cried. Rossi pulled her into his chest to try and comfort her.

Rossi saw each one of the younger team members as his own. He was a father figure in their lives. They leaned on him for support, they could talk to him and they trusted him.

"What's wrong with me? I've never felt like this. I'm not cut out for this job."

"Look JJ you are a vital member of this team and maybe the reason you feel like this is because over the past year, we have all grown close. After Haley's death and with Hotch being left with a new born baby, we all leaned on one another more than we ever have in the past. As bad as that case was we grew close because of it. All of us at one time or another has blamed ourselves for somebody elses misfortune."

Morgan came running to the back door "Hey guys Garcia has something." JJ wiped her tears and went inside. She grabbed Morgan by the arm and stopped him as Rossi continued in front of them. "Hey I'm sorry." She said with her head staring at the rotting, wooden planks, below her.

Morgan placed his hand under her chin, raising her head, "It's okay JJ, with Garcia's handy work we'll have her back home before you know it." JJ was able to force a smile at that comment, now looking into his eyes.

Morgan and JJ were the last to enter Garcia's new run down lair. After they entered Hotch said, "Okay Garcia what have you got?"

"Okay so here's the thing, for us to see Emily he has to have a computer right? Well about fifteen minutes from here an electronics store was robbed last night and according to their video footage it was at around 5am. Emily popped up on our screen at around 8am so you're looking at a three hour time period. And I've also found that Ray installs fiber optic cables for wireless internet. You see these two women here have had fiber optic cables installed but Ray also has put in secret cameras, to watch how they treat their kids and let me tell ya, these women are really mean."

"Garcia can you pull up a map with the electronics store in the middle and then put in a radius of three hours. That will give us a geographic profile." Ried said.

"Okay, one more second...here you go!" Garcia said as the map popped up on her screen.

Meanwhile Reid was looking at the map Garcia had brought up, Rossi was puzzled by Garcia's information, "Wouldn't he already have a computer, because isn't where he's at now, where the murders are taking place?"

"Right you are Agent Rossi, but he was using a video camera previoiusly, and he would bring it back and up load it. For us to be able to see him and Emily he has had to get some other equipment to be directly connected to us."

"So he knows were here." Rossi stated.

"Then this is all for us." Reid said.

Hotch tried to put that idea out of his mind. The thought of this sick freak, making it a show was more than he wanted to think about. He was also concerned for the other two women whose lives were being displayed on these computer screens. "Garcia, Is there any way you can find out who these women are so we can warn them that they may be in danger?" Hotch asked.

"Yes sir, but this guy is extremely good and it might take some time."

Morgan patted JJ's back, "Were one step closer."

Garcia pushed her glasses up on her nose and turned around behind her, "I love you but this room is getting a little stuffy and if your not out of here in like the next 5 seconds I'm going to have to remove you all forcefully."

"I think I'll stay." Morgan said grinning at her comment.

"Don't you tempt me Derek Morgan, besides I might just be compelled to remove you anyways." Then forgetting everyone was there she began drooling over him and said, "Who wouldn't want to touch that georgious hunk of meat." She said licking her lips.

Then suddenly the computer came back online. Garcia gasped at what she saw, stopping everyone in their tracks. Hotch's stomach flipped and JJ crossed her arms guarding her emotions. It had only been five minutes but in that little amount of time Ray had degraded her, raped her and bruised her. Her strength was little to none, because of the struggle she put up. Her body lay partially limp as she tried to pull herself back into a sitting postion.

Hotch's heart began to hurt at the woman he has fell in love with suffering such a cruelty. JJ and Garcia had tears falling quietly. Rossi placed his hand on Garcia's back to comfort her. Morgan and Reid stood on either side of JJ as they all waited patiently for what might happen next.


Ray's climax was Emily's relief. She could finally breathe deeply again after he removed himself from over top her body. The pain she had just gone through was excruciating. It wouldn't be long before her fair skin would expose bruises lining the upper parts of her legs, and the length of her arms. Her eyes were heavy and now that it was over she felt exhausted. She just wanted to sleep, but he went to the computer and connected her with the team again. Even though they didn't see the show, she was more embarrassed than words could describe.

Her mind was racing What would they think of me? What would Hotch think of me? How could I ever face them again? Tears came to her eyes but she had to hold them back for she was again about to be exposed in her most vulnerable state.

The thought of just this man her secret crossed her mind, but she didn't want to die. For the time being she had more reason to die than live.

Her neck ached from strain, as she turned it towards the computer screen where she saw the concerned faces of her team. She struggled to get in a sitting position, to show she was still strong. She tried to convince herself that this wasn't that terrible besides it was just sex and she's had that before. For a moment it worked until she heard Ray say something about getting to pick who dies. Pick who dies? No!
