"Repeat that" asked Hotch quite unbelieving.

"Alex is beaten by her husband, yes I know how it sounds but it's true, I saw the bruises on her and I'm at her house now, she just threw me out and…when I said that I was sorry that we didn't realized it, she told me she was sorry too you should have seen her Hotch she was so scared" JJ said. For a moment Hotch was quiet.

"What do you want to do?"

"Tell everyone except Alex to get back in, say that it is urgent! They need to know it now Hotch and we have to figure out a way get her out of there together!" JJ responded.

"Okay, see you in half an hour" he said and hung up. JJ continued to stare at the house for a moment. 'I know you want me to help you…we'll get you out of there Alex just hang in there a little bit longer' she thought and then drove back to the headquarters. The only thing she wanted, was to go back in there and shove her gun down James's throat and pull the trigger.

But she wanted to give Alex the chance to send him to prison and make his life miserable. Why did she never tell them? Of course JJ knew the answer to her own thoughts.

Because Alex was ashamed like every other abused woman too, and surely she herself and Garcia had help very much with always saying that they never understand why those women never said something. God it only must have increased Alex fear of telling them…or just anyone.

When she arrived there, Spencer held the elevator open for her.

"Hey do you have an Idea why Hotch called us in again?" he asked.

"Kinda, but let's see when everyone is there" JJ answered.

"Did you notice something going on with Alex?" he asked and she looked at him surprised.

"Why?"

"Well she gave me a ride home and when we were at my apartment, she cried and when I asked her what was wrong, she…kicked me out of the car" he said.

"Well…no I think she was alright" she said but Reid watched her closer, she knew that he knew that she was holding something back. But he seemed to let it go for now.

They were the last ones to arrive in the Conference Room.

"So why are we here again? And where is Blake?" asked Morgan when JJ and Reid sat down.

"I didn't want you to come back because we have a Case but because of Blake" he said and everyone except JJ looked at him confused,

"What? Why?" Rossi asked, now Hotch looked at JJ and the rest followed his glance.

"JJ…What's going on?" Garcia asked. JJ sighed.

"You know Alex and I shared a room on this Case…she was different. When I woke her she started screaming and pushed me away, she locked in the bathroom but before I-I could see bruises on her thighs…some of them were shaped like hands, I also saw some on her back…I think she's beaten by her husband".

They all stared at her "JJ are you-"

"Yes…I drove to her house while she gave Reid a ride when I rang, James asked 'If I lost my fucking key' when he saw that it was me he changed, was friendly, apologized but when Alex came home you should have seen her...that was pure fear of him…I told her that I knew and she told me to shut up and kicked me out…I said that I was sorry and she told me that she was sorry too and nearly cried" JJ said.

Rossi closed his eyes and shook his head, Garcia continued to stare at JJ with tears in her eyes and seemed to wait that JJ would say that it all had been a joke and that Alex would walk in; Morgan stared at the table and let his knuckles crack in anger. Reid now realized what has been going on with Alex, why she had been crying and had flinched away from him, he felt guilty he should have realized it sooner and it made him so angry, that man had hurt one of his closest friends.

"What are we going to do?" asked Rossi.

"What we would do with every victim, we'll tell her that we know and that we'll help her, she has to tell one of us what is really going on and a Doctor needs to examine her and confirm her abuse, if that is the Case then we will arrest her husband and help her out of there" Hotch said.

"Are you all in? I understand that this is something else because Alex is a friend-".

"I think I can speak for us all when I say that that is exactly why we will help her, she is one of us and needs our help" Rossi said.

"He's right, we won't let her down now and make this son of a bitch pay!" Morgan said and the others nodded.

"If she is being abused…then she had to be in medical care sometime…Garcia you have the permission to look in her medical file" Hotch said and she nodded.

"In which hospital is her husband working?" asked Morgan.

"DC Hospital Association" answered Reid.

"Okay than you, Rossi and I are going to cover some of the other hospitals except this, maybe someone will recognize her" he said and the two nodded.

JJ wanted to help Garcia but then her phone rang. Home, 'Not now Will!' she thought.

"Will? I'm sorry but-".

"JJ! Your colleague Blake just came by, when I opened she broke down on our doorstep I thinks he was attacked, I wanted to call an ambulance but she freaked out" he said.

"What? Oh God no, I'm on my way, don't let her go and don't answer the phone or door except for me" she said and hung up.

"What happened?" asked Reid.

"That was Will, Alex is at my place…he said she broke down on our doorstep and…she looks like she had been assaulted…that son of a bitch had beaten her up while I was outside their house!" JJ said angrily.

"It's not your fault JJ, go" Hotch and JJ was half way out the door.


Every inch of her body was in pain, her breathing was faint, he had broken her already fractured rib she could feel it, blood tickled down the side of her head, she couldn't see on her right eye and she could taste her blood from her lip and nose. He had pushed her down the stairs after he had been finished, told her that he wouldn't sleep in the same bed with her, she didn't deserve to sleep beside him tonight.

Alex crawled to the door after she had laid there at the staircase for a while unable to move because of the pain, she knew he always fell asleep fast when he had beaten and raped her. JJ knew…JJ knew what he was doing to her, and she needed help, she wanted to leave him…she didn't want to die as his victim, beaten to death.

And she was the only help she could get, the only way she could survive. Alex crawled to the drawer and pulled herself up, after a while she was standing on shaky legs she grabbed the key's to her car. Alex tried to walk but the pain between her legs caused her to fall down again and she bit down a scream, tears streamed down her face.

She tried again and forced herself to walk to the door even though every move hurt, she opened the door quietly as possible, also closed it again and she stumbled to her car, one hand always on the house so she wouldn't fall down. When she had managed to get to her car she started it and drove away, she wasn't exactly in the conditions to drive but she needed to get away from him, that was the only thought in her head 'Get away and go to JJ!'

When she had finally reached JJ's house she got out of her car and didn't even lock it. She stumbled to the front door and rang the doorbell. She was so exhausted and leaned onto the door, the pain had even increased, and when the door opened she fell into Will's arms.

"Oh my- Blake?...What happened to you?" he asked and help her inside.

"JJ…" she managed to say.

"She's not here yet! Have you been attacked? I'm going to call an ambulance-"

"No! No don't please don't he'll find me…please don't call an ambulance…!" she called and gripped his shirt crying.

"Okay…okay I won't, I'll call JJ okay?" he said and help her into the living room, where he laid her down on the couch and called his wife.


When JJ parked behind Alex's car she ran inside and unlocked the door quickly. "JJ?" she heard her husband who stood in front of her seconds later.

"Where is she?" JJ asked.

"In the living room, she looks pretty bad but she wouldn't let me call an ambulance" he said and JJ hurried into her living room, when she laid eyes on Alex she gasped in shock. She looked simply awful, her right eye was swollen so she probably couldn't see, her lip has split open and her nose was still bleeding and she had a cut above her left brow.

"Alex…my- Alex I'm so sorry, he did this to you didn't he?" JJ said and Alex nodded, tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Yeah…I'm sorry JJ…please...help me...I need help" she whimpered and JJ stroked over her cheek carefully.

"Don't apologies Alex, not for what he did to you! It's not your fault" she said. "We need to get you to a hospital Honey".

"No! No he-he'll find me…I don't wanna go back to him please" she begged in panic.

"Alex! Alex listen to me! I won't let that happen, he will never ever get near you again! But we need to get you to a hospital okay? I'll stay with you and make sure he won't get near you" she said and Alex nodded.

"Okay…" she said quietly. JJ looked at her husband.

"Help me get her to the car!" together they managed to get Alex into the car and JJ drove to a hospital. She remembered where her husband was woring and drove to anoher one, even though it was the nearest, but when Alex had been that afraid of going to a hospital, he had probably made her files go away and somhow kept everyone silent who had treated her and could confirm her abuse by him.

Once they had brought her inside Aex was quickly taken in to be examined.

"Do you want me to stay?" asked Will.

"No go home and be with Henry, I can handle this and I texted Hotch they're on their way" she answered. He sighed.

"Okay...I love you" he said and gave her a small smile, JJ nodded.

"I love you too" she responded and watched him walk away, she continued to sit there and waited for the Doctor to hopefully tell her that Alex was alright and would do a full recovery. After one and a half hours in which the team still hadn't arrived because of an accident on the highway a Doctor approached her.

"Are you Jennifer Jeareu?" he asked.

"Yes, how is my colleague doing?" she asked back.

"Well we did the best we could, this man broke two ribs, sprained her wrist and covert her in bruises...but she had many old wounds similar to the ones we treated now, three of he ribs had been boken at least two times. He also seems to have a habbit of choking her" the Docter told her and JJ closed her eyes, how blind could they all have been? And they called themselves the best Profilers in the Country?!.

"How is she doing now?".

"We gave her something against the pain...I'm afraid thats all we can do for now" he answered.

"Thank you, could I see her?" JJ asked.

"You can but there is something else, we did a rape-kit and-"

"You did a what?!" JJ was shocked, no, no, no, no this couldn't be true he had raped Alex?!

"A rape-kid...that means-" but JJ interrupted him.

"I know what that means! Please don't tell me he raped her" his look was all the answer she needed.

"I'm sorry, but yes he did...we found major bruises and DNA from tonight but...she had older wounds, it must have been going on for years" he said and now JJ wasn't able to hold back her tears.

'What has he only done to you?' she thought.

Is Alex really ready to tell her story? And what is the Tam going to do when they find out?
