JJ woke up feeling incredibly peaceful and content. A protective arm kept her close, the heat from their body radiating onto her. She smiled with a light sigh of happiness. It'd been 2 weeks since the wedding, and still, each time she woke up she felt that little spark of magic that hit her on the night of their wedding when she came to end of the aisle and face to face with Reid. She didn't really want to, but she still slipped out of his arm and sat on the edge of the bed. After taking a minute to stretch, she turned back to see Reid sound asleep. She smiled, his long curls fell onto the pillow. She leaned down and kissed his cheek, accidently making him stir. She waited for him to settle before quietly exiting the room. She was walking to the kitchen when she found a piece of paper folded on the floor. It looked like it had been slid in from underneath the door. Knowing exactly what it was she bent down and picked the paper up. She sighed and crumpled it up, walking into the kitchen to throw it out. Instead she sat at the table, dropping the paper on its surface. She put her head in her hands, her mind started to drift further and further away. She knew she was doing the right thing, ignoring him and going on with her life. But she had a right to be frustrated and angry, how much longer would this go on?
{Flashback}
JJ closed her door, after a long day of work, sighing as she closed the door. She smiled as she took her coat off.
"Will? I'm home." She called out. She happy to finally be home to her boyfriend. She was given no response. She walked through the house until she saw him sitting in the kitchen. She smiled.
"Oh, there you are." She leaned down and kissed his cheek.
"Where were you?" He asked before taking another gulp of his beer. "I'm sorry, the case..." She didn't have a chance to finish. What she said was enough for him.
"A case. Yeah, alright." He stood, anger alright growing and multiplying inside him.
"Will." She started. He shook his head.
"No JJ, it's always a case. There is always another damn case!" His tone grew as his fuse shortened. JJ stood as she tried to explain herself, but he cut her off again. "Ya know I'm starting to think these 'cases' are just an excuse."
"What?" She asked. She thought he understood her job.
He moistened his lips, "You cheatin' on me?"
Her mouth gaped open, shocked that he actually could think JJ would cheat on him, "Will I am not cheating on you! how could you even th-" Before she had time to finish, his hand rose and struck her across the face. She felt a burning feeling where his hand had been. She was stunned. Unable, not wanting, to comprehend what had just happen. She looked up at him, unable to speak. Even if she was able to put words together, she wouldn't know what to say. He was drunk, that was it. This wasn't really him. It's because she was late. Thoughts like this ran through her mind. She was coming up with excuse after excuse to explain his actions. Nothing else was said. After a minute of silence, he exited the room. Leaving his girlfriend still completely paralyzed .
The next day he came to her with flowers. Giving her apology after apology, swearing left and right that it would never happen again. She smiled, took the flowers, gave him a kiss, and forgave him. Completely unaware of what her future was about to turn into.
{End of flashback}
JJ ran her fingers through her hair, trying to erase the painful 5 minutes of remembering that she just endured. She sighed and stood, taking the paper. She walked over to the garbage to dispose of it, when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She smiled, but it didn't stay long. Her smile quickly disintegrated when she felt a gun point directly at her stomach. Panic ran through her, a fear she knew all too well settled inside her. She prayed for Reid to wake up, to walk in and save her. But everything was to quiet.
"Move, make one sound, and your little baby dies." The man behind her whispered in her ear. She felt his breath slither down her neck, sending chills through her body. She did as she was told. She dropped the paper as they turned and he guided her out. The gun never leaving her stomach. As they moved slickly into the living room, her eyes looked over at the bedroom door. As if telepathically trying to get his attention. Nothing. He didn't wake.
"Open the door, quietly." He instructed. She slowly turned the knob, stalling as much as possible. She opened the door and he pushed her out gently. Closing the door once the both exited the apartment.
Hours passed before Reid woke. He squinted as the strong sun light blinded him. He rubbed his eyes before sitting up. He looked around the room, his wife was nowhere in sight. He got up and left the room. The living room was empty. Then he went to check the bathroom. The hallway was dark, no source of light from anywhere. His brows furrowed. He walked into the kitchen, becoming worried. The worry grew when the kitchen was empty. He went back to their bedroom and peaked in, to only find what he was hoping to not find. Her cell phone was placed in its normal spot on the night stand. He grabbed his, taking deep nervous breaths as he re entered the kitchen. He called Hotch, desperately waiting for the ringing to stop and to hear his voice.
"Hotchner." He picked up. He could hear sleep in his voice.
"Hotch h-...have you heard from JJ?" He asked.
Hotch sat up in bed. Emily was still asleep beside him.
"No I haven't." He answered becoming worried.
Reid sighed, growing frustrated. "Well she isn't hear. Her phone is on the night stand along with the rest of her thing. Hotch s-she wouldn't just leave." He rambled.
"Okay. Okay Reid I want you to call Morgan, ask him if he's heard from her. Than go to the BAU. Well handle this there." He instructed.
Reid hung up and immediately called Morgan. Emily had woken up through the conversation. "What's wrong?" She asked as her husband got up from bed and dressed himself.
"JJ's gone."
Emily quickly got up and got ready.
Morgan and Garcia were sitting at the table having breakfast when he got the call.
"Morgan." He answered. Garcia looked up. assuming they had a case.
"No I haven't. Why she isn't home?" Morgan listened intently.
"I'm on my way."
Garcia grew concern, "Wait what's happening?" She asked.
"JJ's missing."
WOAH! Plot twist huh? Alright this is gonna get pretty intense.
