A/N My grandpa passed away last week. He has lost the battle against cancer exactly two years after he was diagnosed. I want to thank those of you who sent their support.

JJ P.O.V.

Once the world has stopped spinning in front of me, I stand up. The barn door opens again and Hankel walks in with his gun pointed at me. Just as he opens his mouth to say something he is cut off by the sound of sirens. When I'm momentarily distracted he slaps a piece of duct tape across my mouth before throwing me in the corner. I hear Hotch telling the team to split up. The barn door opens and I see Emily coming in. She sees me and walks towards me. I try to warn her, but before I can make a sound she is contracting on the ground with her gun out of reach. Hankel walks towards her while laughing and I realize that this is not the shy man who opened the front door. I guess that we're dealing with an Unsub who has D.I.D. when I have come to that realisation I look over to Emily and Hankel again. "Now I have three FBI Agents" I hear him say and both Emily and I realize that he also has Reid. I see that Emily has stopped shaking and is trying to stand up. I try to stand up as well, but as soon as I move my head black spots are moving into my sight. I stop trying to get up, knowing that it would only distract Emily if I were to faint, I see that Emily is on her knees now. When she tries to get to her gun Hankel tasers her again, but instead of contracting she just lies still. I start to get really worried before I see her chest rising and falling. Hankel must have used a high voltage, I think, it took some time before Emily stopped contracting after the first dosage and the second rendered her unconscious. I'm also surprised that she didn't make a sound when he stroke her, most of the times people let out an involuntarily scream when hit with a taser. While I was concentrating on Emily I failed to notice Hankel walking towards me, he pulls me up by my hair and starts dragging me to his car. Somehow he managed to do it without anyone seeing us. He drags me past the car and I see Spence lying on the backseat, without giving me the chance to get a second look at him Hankel opens the trunk and pushes me in. Hankel shuts the trunk and I feel that the car starts driving.


Morgan P.O.V.

The only one we haven't heard from is Prentiss so Hotch, Gideon and I go to the barn. When we enter the barn I see Prentiss lying on the ground with her eyes closed and an occasional contraction going through her body. Hotch calls an ambulance while I kneel down beside her. I see that she has two sets of taser marks on her neck and when I feel for her pulse I notice that it's very irregular. After a few seconds I see her trying to open her eyes "C'mon Prentiss, open those eyes" I try to coax her. It works and after a few more seconds she's able to keep eye contact. "Prentiss, where are JJ and Reid?" I ask her

"Hankel has them" she answers me while working on regaining her breath. The paramedics walk in and immediately try to hook her up to a heart monitor when I tell them she has been tasered.

"I'm fine-" Prentiss tries to argue, but she is interrupted by Hotch

"Agent Prentiss, you have been tasered twice. You can choose, either you let the paramedics work on you or I will get you of this case" Hotch threatens and immediately she stops protesting and stops trying to get up. Hotch tells me to keep an eye on her while he and Gideon will go back to the house. When Hotch and Gideon are gone one of the paramedics opens Prentiss' blouse in order to listen to her heart. I can't help but being awestruck with the muscles she has, I can't help it I'm still a man, I'm also surprised by the amount of scars she has. I have never seen that much scars on an Agent before, let alone one who only had desk jobs before joining the BAU. Before my mind goes into the gutter without me wanting it to, my thoughts are interrupted by the paramedics "Alright Agent Prentiss, your heart beat is evening-out, but I would still like to keep you in the hospital for a night to keep an eye on it"

Before Prentiss even gives an answer I already know what she's going to say.

"Not a chance in hell" she responds while buttoning up her blouse and standing up. She is surprisingly steady for someone who was unconscious just ten minutes ago.

"Agent Prentiss-" the paramedic starts again before Prentiss interrupts him and I feel sorry for him, especially when I see that Prentiss is not backing down. I haven't known her for more than four months, but her reaction doesn't surprise me at all.

"You said that you would like it if I would go with you, but since I don't like it I'm not going" she states and Hotch and Gideon are walking towards us.

"What is the problem?" Hotch asks the paramedics while giving Prentiss a glare, who responds with a shrug

"I think it would be a good idea if your Agent would go to the hospital so that they can keep an eye on her overnight, but she refuses to go"

"Prentiss?" Hotch asks her wanting her to explain herself

"Sir, I'm fine. My heartbeat is evening-out, I don't feel dizzy or sick. Yes, my whole body hurts, but it's nothing that some Tylenol can't solve. I want to be out there in the field looking for JJ and Reid, I don't want to be sitting on my ass in some hospital where I'm unable to help" She tells him

"Do you promise to tell me when you start feeling worse?" Hotch asks her

"Yes, Sir. I promise" She answers quickly with a hint of a smile showing on her face

"Alright" he tells her before turning to the paramedics "Thank you for your help, but my Agent won't accompany you to the hospital" the paramedics and Hotch shake hands and they walk away.

"Okay Prentiss, what happened?" Hotch asks

"I walked into the barn and immediately I saw JJ. She had duct tape across her mouth and some blood on her face. After doing a quick sweep I walked towards her and before I know it I was on the ground trying to control my body. Hankel walked towards me while laughing and he told me "Now I have three FBI Agents" that's when I knew that he had Reid too. When my body stopped shaking I tried to grab my gun, but before I could touch it he tasered me again and after that it's black until I saw you guys" She tells us. After a few moments she adds "I think we should consider him having D.I.D."

"Why?" I ask her

"Well, when he laughed, I caught JJ's eyes. She looked surprised like, I don't know, like she was surprised by how he acted" she explains

"If that is right then should D.I.D. definitely be something we should consider. It would certainly explain some holes we haven't been able to fill until now" Gideon says

"Garcia is on her way right now" Hotch says

"Why?" Prentiss and I ask at the same time

"His computers are an extension of his brain" Gideon explains

"We will set up at his house. The house can give us the answers we need" Hotch says and we walk back to the house.


Emily P.O.V.

It's hard to believe that there has already an hour gone by. Hotch is picking up Garcia from the airport. When they return Garcia starts working on the computers. At some moment Morgan corners me.

"Emily, how come that none of this gets to you? I mean I know about your past and I'm sure you have an indication about mine, but you have never flinched. I flinch sometimes, so do Hotch, Gideon, Reid, JJ and especially Garcia." Morgan asks me

"He's right, you never even blinked" Hotch says, scaring me a bit since I didn't hear him walking towards us.

I'm sure that if they knew about my past with the CIA and Interpol they would understand, but since I can't tell them that I settle for another answer "I guess, maybe I compartmentalize better than most people" I see that they don't really believe me, but I'm able to escape further questions when Gideon calls for our attention. He has found some sort of storm shelter. Morgan and Hotch go down and they find the body of Tobias Hankel's father. The next day Morgan and I talk to someone who knows Tobias from when he was younger and we learn some information that will be very helpful.

We don't make very much progress until Hankel sends us a live stream of Reid. JJ is nowhere to be seen, I can only hope that she is still alive. I don't know what I would do if she isn't.

A couple hours later we see Reid die only to be resuscitated by Hankel, much to our relief.


JJ P.O.V.

I'm in a dark room, there is one window but the curtain is closed. I hear both Reid and Hankel talking. I'm thankful that I can at least still hear him. It has been quiet from the room beside me for quite some time and I start to get worried about Reid. All out of sudden the door is opened and lights spring on, I see Hankel enter the room with a camera in his hand.

"Choose one to die" he tells me

"What?" I ask him not fully understanding what he wants from me

"Your team members, choose one to die" he repeats

"Kill me" I answer him

"Your team has six other members, tell me who dies?" When he says the number six I let out a breath that I didn't even know I was holding. Six members means that Reid is still alive

"No" I tell him, I won't choose

"Choose and prove you do God's will" he says as he pulls out his revolver with one bullet in the chamber and spins it

"No" I say again and he pulls the trigger, but there's no bullet coming out

"Choose"

"I won't do it" and he pulls the trigger again, but again there's no bullet

"Live is a choice"

"No" again he pulls the trigger and again there's no bullet

"Choose" he says and I know that the next time he pulls the trigger there will be a bullet. I look around and I see a gravestone, it remembers me of something Em and I talked about.

"I choose Emily Prentiss, the way she thinks about death is just creepy and I'm pretty sure she has murdered someone and that is a sin. She should be punished" I tell him. I know that the team is watching and I'm certain that Emily will know what I truly mean.


Emily P.O.V.

I'm both glad and concerned when JJ appears on the screen. Glad cause this means that she's still alive and concerned because we don't know what he will do to her. I almost want to kill her when she refuses to choose someone from us, but the second she says my name and her explanation I know exactly what she means.

"I know where we can find them. JJ and I talked about something that she referred to. They're at a cemetery" I tell them

"Garcia, look for a cemetery in our search area" Gideon says while we run to the cars

"I have one, I sent it to your GPS" she yells after us and we're on our way

An antagonizing fifteen minutes later we're on location. We split up, Morgan and I take the back while Hotch and Gideon take the front. When we enter we're standing in the room where JJ is, but Hankel isn't here. We hear Hotch and Gideon talking to Hankel, trying to talk him down, Morgan joins them while I free JJ.

"I knew that you would understand it, Em" she says and as soon as she is free she hugs me and gives me a little kiss on the lips. I feel my heart skipping a beat again, but this time it isn't from the shocks it is from getting a kiss from the most beautiful women on earth.

"How are you, Jen?" I ask her

"I have a small headache, but for the rest I'm okay. How are you?" she asks concerned

"I'm fine" I tell her before receiving a glare "I'm a little sore, what is to be expected, but for the rest I'm fine"

We hear a gun shot and I immediately redraw my gun, Morgan comes into the room to tell us that Hankel is dead. We walk toward the room where Reid was held, JJ and Reid hug each other before Reid asks to have a moment alone. We leave the room. With the men are walking in front of us, we both can't resist and put an arm around each other.

When we're back I take JJ to her house. I make sure she eats something, we watch some TV before she goes to bed. I stay the night telling her that her couch and I will be best friends until she kicks me out. She smiles and tells me to at least join her in bed and that it's almost impossible to sleep on her couch. I want to argue with her, but the look she gives me tells me that she doesn't want to be alone, so I join her and pretty soon we're asleep. We both lay on our left side she has back towards me and I have thrown my right arm over her to keep her close and like that we fall asleep. Both grounded by each other's presence.
