*next morning*

Cat POV

Cat: *sneaking back into the house and heads to the kitchen* *thinking to self* omg my head hurts…why the hell to I go to Javier's house last night? *leans on counter with head in hands*

Derek: *walking in* hey, where's the food?

Cat: I see you finally came back

Derek: what do you mean? I went out for a morning run

Cat: bull shit…you're still wearing your outfit from last night

Derek: *looking dumb* well I was coming to see if there was food then I was going to go running

Cat: you suck at lying…you just got dropped off by those two girls you saw making out last night

Derek: ok and where were you?

Cat: *with spite in mind* on Javier's dick *walks out the kitchen then turns around* I suggest you go change…we have interviews to do and 4 other girls to find *walks out*

Derek: *thinking to self* I can't believe she just said that

*in the office*

Hotch: alright, our suspects held their silence all night but we finally got them to talk…Dave you take Brandon…I'll take Jerry….JJ, you and Cat will go down to the hospital and get a positive ID of both suspects from Rosie and see if she can remember where she escaped from…the rest of you be on standby for when a location is revealed

Teams: got it

*at the hospital in Rosie's room*

Cat: hey Rosie

Rosie: hey Cat, hey JJ

JJ: we have some good news

Rosie: what

Cat: we got them

Rosie: really?!

JJ: yep, but we need you to positively ID the two *hands her the first set of mug shots* can you circle and initial by your abductor

Rosie: yes *circles and initials Brandon's picture*

Cat: ok *hands her the second set of mug shots* can you do the same for his partner

Rosie: ok *circles and initials Jerry's picture* are you sure you got them?

JJ: yes, we made the arrest last night

Cat: we also have a couple of questions

Rosie: ok

JJ: can you tell us what you remember about the place you escaped from

Rosie: I remember the room was small…it was about the size of a dorm room…when I escaped I ran into a huge room…kind of like a common area…I ran towards the front door and ran down the stairs then out another door into the street

Cat: did you recognize the area when you got outside?

Rosie: kind of…it was near the club I was at that night…it was one of those places that you'd find if you knew where to look

JJ: if we took you to that area would you be able to find it?

Rosie: yes

Rossi POV

*in the first interrogation room*

Rossi: alright Brandon…tell me why

Brandon: ….do you have any idea what it's like to have something one minute then the next minute it's gone?

Rossi: yes I do

Brandon: Melanie was right there….SHE WAS RIGHT THERE! Smiling, laughing at me and my brother, looking down at her growing stomach…THEN SHE WAS GONE!

Rossi: I know…I know what it's like to lose someone you love…but you need to tell me where you and your brother are keeping these women

Brandon: I don't know

Rossi: what do you mean you don't know…you took the first three to the place yourself

Brandon: no, I was responsible for luring them out of the club…my brother drove

Rossi: explain to me how you have this plan going on with your brother and you have no idea where you're going

Brandon: I don't know

Rossi: then tell me what you do know

Brandon: I know I want a lawyer

Rossi: alright *walks out*

Reid: anything?

Rossi: he claims his brother was behind it

Reid: he could be…think about it…his brother was the one driving that day

Seiko: yea, maybe he orchestrated the plan as a way of helping his brother

Rossi: maybe…lets see if Hotch can get anything

Hotch POV

Hotch: alright, tell me about this plan between you and your brother

Jerry: what do want to know?

Hotch: how about where are the other four girls?

Jerry: ha, I'll tell you this…I want a lawyer

Hotch: fine *walks out*

*office space*

Hotch: did you get anything Dave?

Rossi: he claims it was his brother's idea then he asked for a lawyer…what about you?

Hotch: Jerry is definitely the master mind…he asked for a lawyer too *phone rings* Hotch

JJ: hey, we just talked to Rosie and she positively ID-ed the two brothers

Hotch: good

JJ: she also said that the place she escaped from is near the club she was at…she said that if she was in that area she'd be able to pinpoint where she escaped from

Hotch: alright, see if you can get her released and head over there…we'll meet you by that club

JJ: got it *hangs up*

Cat POV

Cat: I just got the ok for Rosie to be released...come on I'll drive

*in the area by the club*

JJ: there's the team…flash your lights so they know

Cat: got it *flashes lights* alright Rosie where am I going from here

Rosie: turn left at that light up there

Cat: alright now what?

Rosie: it's up on the right

Rosie: there are living spaces above the shops

Cat: alright, which store do I park in front of?

Rosie: go into the alley…that's how you get upstairs

Cat: *parks car* alright JJ can you stay here with Rosie and get EMTs up here

JJ: I'm on it

*inside the building*

Cat: *whispering to the teams* Rosie said they're on the second level…lets go

*the teams find the other four girls in four separate rooms, each curled up in a ball on a bed crying but relieved that they're safe, none of them are pregnant or have STDs*

*in the meeting room with Cat's team*

Cat: good job you guys…I'm glad all of them are safe, and I'll personally check up on them every once in a while

Derek POV

*next to Garcia*

Derek: I don't get it *looking at Cat*

Garcia: what's wrong Hot Stuff?

Derek: why didn't she at least tell me she was transferring?

Garcia: probably because she wanted to focus on the case…it was the last one she'd lead in Miami

Derek: I guess

Garcia: go talk to her

Derek: I'm good

Garcia: *stern voice* get your sexy chocolate ass up and go talk to her

Derek: fine *joins Cat on the couch* hey

Cat: hey

Derek: so you're finally in the FBI

Cat: yep

Derek: are you excited?

Cat: Derek, why are you over here?

Derek: I don't know…I guess I was wondering if we could talk about us

Cat: Derek, I just want to settle in and get used to my new surroundings

Derek: well if don't have a place yet, you're welcome to stay at my place…I have a spare bedroom

Cat: thanks but no thanks I already have a place to live

Derek: how?

Cat: I'm always prepared *thinking about Seiko*

Derek: I guess so…looks like we're about to land

Cat: *looking out the window* looks like it

*at the BAU*

Cat POV

Strauss: well if it isn't my favorite team

Rossi: you're not funny

Strauss: I didn't ask you…anyways, I know you all have met Catalina…she is one of your new team members, our other new agent will be here when you come back from your vacation

Derek: *stops and looks at her car* ok that's not a Jeep

Cat: you're right…it's an Audi TT

Derek: how the hell are you affording all of this?

Cat: same way you afford your properties
