Over the next few days, the team made little progress in trying to find their friends. All the roads ended up being dead ends and there were very few leads, if any to follow up on. Everyone was frustrated as they could only imagine the nightmare Hotch and Morgan were having to endure at the hands of this unsub.

Unfortuanately for Garcia, and Jess, one credit card belonging to Hotch pinged up quite a few times after Hotch went missing. It turned out that this credit card was given to Jessica by Hotch to use whenever he went out of town and she looked after Jack. It paid for both his upkeep, and all food and clothes Jessica might have to buy for Jack whilst he was staying with her. After the first couple of pinging times and a couple of embarrassing phone calls, Garcia removed the trace on that particular card as it obviously wasn't being used by the unsub.

To help keep his spirits up, the team made sure they all talked to Jack every night to ensure that he felt he wasn't being forgotten and that there were people besides his beloved Aunt Jessica who cared and loved him. Every night they all promised him that they would find his dad real soon. Since his dad had been missing, the director had assigned 2 agents to protect Jack and Jessica around the clock and Jack told his aunts and uncles all about them and what games etc they had played with him that day. Although he always sounded upbeat and cheerful, they knew he was hurting and sad inside and knew that there was only one thing that could heal that hurt and that was to reunite him with his hero father again.

A week went by without eliciting anything the team could use, even though everyone was working virtually round the clock, no one wanting to rest until their friends had been found.

During the first week they had released as much of a profile as they had.

"We are looking for a man in approximately his late 30's or early 40's. He is accompanied by 2 male sidekicks who he trusts implicitly. They look to be in their late 20's to early 30's. This man seems to like abducting highly powerful alpha individuals and forcing them to return to being a baby. This shows he has some sort of dominance power hungry issues."

"He keeps his victims chained in a cold place for the whole time he has them. His victims all spend their time wearing nothing but an adult diaper which, of course, they are forced to use to relieve themselves. He apparently keeps them clean enough and apparently changes the diapers at intervals. He, or his accomplices make their captives eat mushed up food, an imitation to baby food."

"Everything that happens to them, from being forced back into diapers, to being fed a baby food substitute, etc. lets him force his dominance over his victims as they return to the time when they were a helpless baby. We believe it is this same unsub who has recently kidnapped our 2 FBI agents."

"The guy we are looking for probably doesn't have a proper job as such and, as such, uses cash and credit cards of his victims to pay for everything for him and them. He is knowledgeable in the areas of what we call infantilism, in which adults dress up and act like babies."

"We have put traces on every credit card Morgan and Hotch own in case the unsub decides to use one of them to buy anything."

Meanwhile Hotch and Morgan spent the week sitting chained to the wall. By now they had almost given up the fight and resistance they had first had and had resigned themselves to having to endure forced feedings, men changing their diapers 2 or 3 times a day and, the worst thing of all, having to use the diapers everytime they had to relieve themselves. Even though it was always uncomfortable and felt disgusting, both of them were getting used to letting go into their diapers easily, though they always still wished for and couldn't wait for the day they could use a real toilet again. What the 2 agents didn't realise is that even after they were found, they might still need the diapers for a few days until their bodies got used to holding on instead of letting go…

A couple of days into the second week, the unsub was starting to run a little low on supplies. He took all the cash he had gotten from the 2 FBI agents, who had finally begun to give up the fight, and looked through the credit cards he had kept. He took Morgan's main credit card and also took the FBI credit card belonging to Hotch. Telling his sidekicks to keep an eye on their guests, he got into his own van and drove to the other side of the city to a place he frequented regularly where the people knew him, where he got all his baby supplies without question and where he knew he could trust that no one would tell on him.

"Hi Mark. Back for more supplies?"

"Yeah. I recently got a couple of new guests join our group so need enough of the usual for 4 people."

"You two, load up Mark's van with enough of his usual but for 4 people will you?"

"Yes sir."

"I got some cash, but can I pay with a credit card as well?"

"Sure thing."

The unsub first handed him Morgan's card but it was refused. He then handed the shop keeper Hotch's FBI credit card, not knowing that this mistake would cost him dearly by the end of the week…
