"Done bridge?" Morgan asked confused.
"She doesn't know what it is but she said Liza went there" Emily said.
Spencer was puzzled but after some time it hit him. "Done... done... STone" he whispered. "That's it! Stonebridge!" He said.
"What?" Emily asked.
"Stonebridge!" Spencer repeated.
"The city?" Emily said.
"Yes" Reid said. "She probably heard them talking."
"It's not that far from here" Morgan said.
"Call their police station" Hotch told Morgan. "Prentiss, see if she remembers anything else" he said and everyone went their ways to do something.

Emily walked inside the room to find Maisy still crying as JJ held her tight.
"Maisy, they can't hurt you anymore" Emily said sitting next to them.
"Daddy will be so mad" Maisy cried. "I shouldn't.." she said and sobbed.
"Shuuuu" JJ said standing up and walking around the room with the girl in her arms. "You're safe now. Shuuu" she kept saying.
"Where's Julie?" The little girl asked.
"She'll be here soon" JJ said and kept rocking Maisy.
Emily waited till Maisy calmed down and tried again.
"Maisy, can I ask you a few questions?" Emily asked as JJ walked back to the couch. Jennifer sat down and Maisy just stared at Emily. "It's okay if you don't know all the answers" she said and Maisy gave her a nod.
"When did you hear your dad talk about Stonebridge?" Emily asked and JJ realized the girl was talking about the city, she just said the name a little wrong.
"In the morning when mommy was packing her gu-" Maisy said low and suddenly she felt really scared. She hid her face on JJ's chest and it was almost involuntary.
"What was she packing?" Emily asked softly. Maisy started shaking her head no again and couldn't stop the tears from falling.
"Does she have a gun?" Emily asked and it just made it worse.
"Don't tell! Don't tell! You're not suppose .." Maisy said and just sobbed. JJ instantly hugged the girl and whispered soothing words in her ears as she cried.
Emily went out and told the team Liza was armed.
"We'll be keeping Maisy here with us under witness protection for a while." Hotch said and Emily nodded agreeing. She went back to the room and told JJ.
"Her siblings should be here any time now" Emily said.
"Julie" Maisy whispered.
"Yeah Julie is coming" JJ said and sat back down placing Maisy next to her on the couch.
"So I was wondering if you'd like something to eat and drink." JJ said a little worried, she really didn't know why but she was feeling different about this kid.
"No thank you. I just want to go home with Julie" The girl said.
"Look you can't go right now because we need your help." Emily said and Maisy looked away. "Can you please help us?"
"No." Maisy politely answered.
"Look you are our only chance of finding your mommy and we need your help." Emily said.
"I don't want mommy to come back" Maisy said with tears in her eyes.
"We need to find her so we can send her to a place far far away so she won't be able to hurt you anymore" Jennifer said holding back her tears. She didn't knew why she was getting so emotional.
"I can't help" Maisy said.
"Maybe you can just try" JJ said.
"What do you want to know?" Asked Maisy.
"Well I need you to close your eyes and think for a while with us" JJ said hoping the child wouldn't hate her. "I'll be here the whole time" she said holding Maisy's hand.
"I can't help" said Maisy fighting her tears even harder.
"Yes you can sweetie. You are the only one who can." Emily said holding the young girls hand tight. This time Maisy let Emily touch her.
"You'll be here?" Maisy asked JJ to make sure.
"The whole time" JJ said.
"Okay" Maisy whispered looking scared.
Emily told Maisy to close her eyes, the girl squeezed JJ's hand and did what was told.
"Do you remember what clothes you were wearing yesterday night?" Emily asked. Maisy thought about it and said "my pajamas".
"Did you wear that all day?" Emily asked.
"Yes"
"And what color was it?"
"Pink.
"Before you went to bed did you play for a while?" Emily asked as she remember the toys in the girl's bedroom.
"I played with Julie in my room till daddy..." Maisy said and stopped.
"It's Okay, we're here with you" JJ said as the girl tensed.
"Till daddy went to get her." Maisy said.
"And what did he say?" Emily asked.
"He said it's bed time girls and they left"
"And what did you do after that?"
"I went to bed" Maisy said.
"And you woke up today, do you remember if it was cold?" Emily asked.
"Yes it was" Maisy said her voice sounding scared.
"And you got scared?" Emily asked.
"Yes" Maisy cried.
"Why?" Emily asked but got no answer. "Why did you get scared Maisy?"
"Because daddy was there" Maisy cried.
"He was there alone?"
"Yeah he walked in and he pulled me out of bed . He had blood" Maisy said crying.
"His clothes had blood on it?" Emily asked.
"Yeah and he got me and told me to go eat" Maisy said.
"So you went downstairs?"
"Yes"
Emily went on and after all the interview Maisy was in tears and sitting on JJ's lap.
Jennifer felt like she needed to protect the girl, so she hugged the girl even tighter.
"It's okay, you're done! You did so good. Really really good." JJ said.
Maisy was crying but she felt protected, she was so scared but she was glad Jennifer was there with her.
"I'll be right back" Emily said and left the room. She told Hotch that Maisy said she woke up to her dad standing at her door with blood on his clothes. He made her go downstairs and eat breakfast with her sister. Once they were done they sat to watch tv and she heard someone screaming but she got scared and stayed on the couch with Julie. Later that day her dad left and the house was quiet again. She went to find her mom and Liza was packing, Her dad went back and told Maisy to leave but she stayed behind the door and listened to them talking. She told them everything she heard.
"She said her mom was going to meet a cousin at a farm in stonebridge. That's all she knows" Emily said and the team headed out. That wasn't a lot but it could be enough for Garcia to find something helpful.
Emily went back to the room and Maisy was still crying in JJ's arms.
It was past 4 o'clock and Emily figured the kid was probably hungry.
"Maisy did you have lunch today?" Emily asked and the kid shook her head no. "Do you want something to eat?"
Maisy nodded shyly.
"Do you like cheeseburgers?" Emily asked and Maisy shrugged. Emily walked out and asked an officer to buy a happy meal at a McDonald's close by.
She went back to the room and soon after the officer arrived.
"Here" Emily said handing the bag to JJ as she held the apple juice. JJ put Maisy down next to her on the couch and got the burger out.
"What's this?" Maisy whispered a little confused.
"You never had one before?" JJ asked surprised and Maisy shook her head no.
"It's a cheeseburger. It's good, try it" JJ said and Maisy took a bite of it. Her face lit up and she quickly ate, she was just so hungry.
"Calm down" JJ said with a smile as the kid devoured the burger.
Maisy soon finished and after eating she got even more tired.
"You can sleep if you want. We'll stay right here" Emily said as she noticed the girl was fighting her sleep.
"Will you stay?" Maisy asked JJ.
"Of course will" JJ smiled. "I promise" she said and pulled Maisy to her lap again. "You can sleep right here" JJ said and covered the girl up with the blanket and Maisy allowed herself to fall asleep in Jennifer's arms.
