The team gathered around the round table, thinking they had a regular case. Then JJ walked in. It was obvious she had been crying, her eyes were puffy and red and she looked miserable. Reid was the first to notice. He got up to stand next to her but she sat down next to him. Hotch gathered everyone's attention.

"Alright, listen, because this is very important. Although this isn't necessarily a case for us because we weren't assigned to it, It's important. It needs to be kept secret. And I need everyone to work hard on it." He paused to look at everyone. "JJ got a very threatening letter this morning. Everyone started to get very worried. Hotch passed the letter around to let everyone read it. Emily was the first to speak.

"So what does this mean? That it's not over yet? I thought Hastings and Askari were a 2 man group?" Hotch spoke next.

"We thought they were, but it looks like there were more accomplices that we didn't know about. And now they're going after JJ again."

Reid spoke next, trying to begin the problem – solving process as fast as possible. "JJ, can you make a list of all the people you came in contact with while you were in Afghanistan?"

JJ shook her head and spoke with a cracked voice. "I don't think so, there were so many. The group was huge, and anybody could have found out that Matt and I have the codes."

Reid thought for a second. "Okay, what about the people that were closest to you and had access to that kind of information?"

JJ nodded this time. "I could probably do that. There was a decent amount, but not to many. I'm just worried that I'll forget someone."

Hotch spoke up. "Remember as much as you can. Any information can help. Garcia, take the letter back to the lab and get a fingerprinting and handwriting analysis on it. Rossi and Emily, search through the records of who was a the camp when JJ was there and could have had access to the information about who had the codes, we can compare it to JJ's list. If you can get pictures of the people, it may jog their memory. Reid and JJ go back to JJ's place any rest. When and if you're up to it, start on the profile. Remember everyone, this needs to be kept secret. It's not something we should be working on without orders, and we don't want to whoever's doing this to know what we know."

The team nodded and began to leave. Spencer started after JJ to talk to her and try to reassure her that they would protect her, but Hotch called him and asked him to stay.

"Yes Sir?"

"I will inform JJ of this, but I want you to stay at her house until we figure this out. You're her best friend, she's going to be more willing to stay with you. Her being alone is dangerous. They could get to her, if she doesn't get to herself first."

"Of course." This was great. It was the perfect cover story for Spencer sleeping at JJ's house from now on.

Reid left the office to find JJ, who was certainly crowded by people right now. He found her in her office, alone surprisingly, packing up her things. Just as Spencer walked in, Hotch came in behind him and asked JJ to speak with her. Spencer guessed it was probably about what they had just discussed. He waited a few minutes for JJ to come in. When she did she looked at him a sighed. She walked up to him and hugged him. He put his arms around her back.

"Everything's going to be okay, Jaydge. We're going to figure this out. JJ squeezed him tight.

"But what if we don't. What if they take me again? Spence, I don't think I can do it again. And what about Matt, are they going to take him to? It's not fair."

"I know it's not. But I promise, we're going to catch this bastard."

JJ collapsed into her bed when they got home around 1, and Spencer followed suit. It had been a long, stressful day, and they were both in need of a nap. Garcia had told them she couldn't get anything of the letter, no fingerprints, dandruff, nothing. And the hand writing looked like a man's, but she couldn't even be sure of that. The whole team felt like they were getting nowhere. JJ knew she had to make that list, but she wasn't feeling like doing much of anything.

Spencer wanted to sleep, he really did, but his brain was moving a mile a minute. He wished he could take all evil out of JJ's world. She was right, it wasn't fair. She was an amazing person, she didn't deserve this torture. All he could do was lie in bed and hold her, a do his best to work out the situation in his head. The last time this happened, everything had pointed to Askari and Hastings being a two-person team. There was no signs that they had any team mates. Nothing was making sense. Spencer sighed and lightly kissed the top of her head. He was going to have to sleep a little if and take some of the stress off of him if he wanted to think clearly.

They slept for a few hours and woke up just in time for Spencer to order them a pizza. Unfortunately, their nap left them unable to sleep, so they sat on the couch until 3 am watching TV until JJ saw that Spencer was asleep. She turned off the TV and shook him awake. "Come one Spence, it's time for bed." Spencer got up and grabbed her hand and walked her to the bedroom. The lay down next to each other, JJ with her back up to his chest. "Goodnight, Spencer." Spencer kissed her head. "Goodnight, Jaydge".
