The team sat at their desks playing a waiting game. They had no way of looking for the guy without scaring him into hurting Emily. They waited until they had another lead; which meant waiting for a call from the public that would hopefully come soon.
They all jumped as Morgan's phone rang. It was Garcia so he put it to speakerphone.
"You're on speaker, Garcia," he called out.
"You're not gonna believe this," she started, "I just found a little more info on our guy."
The team sighed in relief. JJ said, "good. What's the news?"
"Not good if you're Emily," Garcia started, "I hacked into his credit card records. The address he gave is false but the unsub has booked a honeymoon suite at a resort in Mexico."
"He's taking her out of the country?" Rossi asked.
Garcia nodded, "he also bought two one-way tickets to an airport in Mexico."
"This is bad," Hotch said as he rubbed his head, "this can't happen to Emily."
The team looked at him confused. Reid spoke up, "what can't be good. We can get them when they head out of the country."
Hotch looked at his team for a moment, "Think about it. He booked a honeymoon suite. If he can't get an official marriage written on paper, in his mind he needs to make it official somehow."
JJ and Garcia gasped. JJ spoke, "you don't mean he's going to..." her voice trailed off not wanting to think of what might happen.
"We have to find him now, before he tries to take her out of the country," Morgan said.
Garcia was at her laptop typing away. All of a sudden she slammed her fist down on the table. All eyes were now on her.
"What is it?" Hotch asked.
Garcia looked up at him with tears on her eyes, "the bastard sent us pictures of Emily."
The gang was now surrounding the laptop screen. Garcia went through them all with the group. At each new picture she gasped along with JJ. Morgan's hands became fists with each new picture. Reid just looked shocked at them all. Rossi and Hotch were trying to look professional but their pain was even starting to show on their faces as they went through them all.
The pictures ranged from a picture of Emily just sitting in an empty room, to sitting on a couch, to laying on a bed. Each picture was more disturbing than the last. The thing they all had in common was that they looked like they were leading up to something.
The team could tell this was what the unsub was trying to do. He was working his way up to his final prize of a wife. Each picture showed a little bit of what was going on in Emily's head. Though she masked her expressions well, the team could notice a subtle difference between pictures as she went from confusion, to disgust, to anger, to fear.
The entire team looked at the last photo of her laying on the bed. The fear that they saw in Emily's eyes was unnaturally scary. They could tell that she knew what was coming.
"Wait a minute," Garcia almost screamed.
She typed up a storm on her computer for a moment, "this last one isn't a photo. It's a video."
The team stood stunned. Hotch being the boss man said, "play it."
