A/N: Another chapter. I know most of you want JJ to tell Hotch what is going on and why she is acting the way she is. I am writing JJ as a guarded and emotional in this story because of her past and she just has a lot to deal with, so I think that talking about it will be really hard for her but it will definitely happen. I hope everyone likes this chapter!

Chapter 7: Father and daughter
Prentiss, JJ and Hotch were all looking through the files when Rossi, Reid and Morgan were back with them.
''Did you guys find anything?'' Hotch asked, hoping they would have some clue to where Walters was hiding.
''I got some information out of the cellmate about his victims but nothing about the wife and daughter. He told me that there are more victims than the police believes'' Morgan explained.
''That was to be expected. Reid? Rossi? Anything?'' Prentiss asked.
''The old home is just a standard family home. Nothing out of the ordinary. The friends told us more and I think we might be able to find him. One of his old friends told us that Walters liked to hang out in the abandoned warehouses just outside the city. We already checked with Garcia and she gave us two addresses where he could be hiding'' Rossi said happily with the fact that they finally had a real lead.
''This might be the break we have been waiting for. Okay. We should check them out to see if he is hiding in there. Reid, Rossi and JJ take the first address. Prentiss, Morgan and I will take the second. Be careful. He is extremely dangerous and he will kill anyone who gets in his way'' Hotch said and everyone left to get ready for the raids.
The team climbed in the two SUV's. They already had their vests on and backup was following them to the addresses. They were all hoping for the best. They all wanted Walters back behind bars.
Reid, Rossi and JJ reached their destination and they cleared the warehouse. There was no trace of Clark Walters and they started to drive to the second address when they hadn't heard anything from the team. They were ten minutes away from the second address and they knew something had to be wrong be because no one was answering their cells. Rossi was driving while JJ and Reid kept dialing the numbers of their team members. JJ finally got a hold on Morgan.
''Derek, what is going on? We are five minutes from you guys!'' JJ said while she put the phone on speaker.
''He is here. We went in and shots were fired. He is holding Hotch hostage and he threatened to kill him if we didn't get out the door. I am here with Prentiss and NYPD. Hostage Negotiations is on its way'' Morgan said with a worried voice.
''Oh my god. We will be there in a couple of minutes. Hang on, okay. See you soon'' JJ said and she hung up the phone because she knew that Morgan had to focus on starting negotiations.
JJ was shaking in her seat at the thought of losing Hotch. She knew she had to do something stupid to safe him but she was willing to risk her life to safe Hotch. If risking her own life would mean saving him she would always do it. She trusted Hotch with her life and she knew he would do the same for her.
They pulled up in a mess of cars and police officers. The scene was crowded. JJ took off her vest and she left her gun in the car, knowing that her vest and gun would only threaten Walters. JJ followed Rossi and Reid to join Morgan and Prentiss.
''Was he hit?'' Rossi asked.
''We don't know anything'' Morgan replied.
JJ took their conversation as a chance to run past them and she started to make a run for the warehouse, knowing that the team would go ballistic.
''What the hell is she doing? JJ!'' Emily yelled and she wanted to run after her but Morgan was holding her back.
''Emily, don't. Don't'' Morgan yelled and he held Emily tightly in his arms.
JJ entered the warehouse through an old metal door. The warehouse was big and she had no idea where to go until she heard a raised voice yelling. It was Clark's voice. The adrenaline was pushing through her body but she didn't care. She knew she was the only one who might be able to solve this situation. JJ stopped behind a brick wall because she knew that she would be seen if she would walk a step further. JJ decided to announce her presence instead of walking it a once.
''Clark Walters. FBI'' JJ said as she showed herself with her hands in the air.
JJ walked inside the room. Walters had a gun pointed to Hotch's head but luckily he was still wearing his vest. JJ saw Hotch looking at her in astonishment of how stupid she was to go in there without any kind of protection for her life.
''Stop there'' Clark yelled.
''JJ! What are you thinking!'' Hotch said loudly and the fear was apparent in his voice. He knew JJ fit Walters' victims appearances and he couldn't believe that she would risk her life like that.
''Shut up!'' Clark yelled to keep control of the situation.
''You get over here, now!'' Clark yelled to JJ.
JJ walked closer to him and he pushed Hotch away from him. He grabbed JJ and he held her tightly in front of him with the gun pointed to her head now.
''If you move, I will kill her and I promise it will not be pretty. I will rip her apart like all the other whores I killed'' Clark yelled at Hotch.
Hotch saw JJ cringe when he started yelling. To him it seemed like she was just afraid because of the situation but it also looked like she was used to the raised voice in a way.
''I will do whatever you want, just don't hurt her'' Hotch said while he had his hands raised.
''JJ. Why?'' Hotch asked desperately.
''It is okay Hotch'' JJ said softly to Hotch and she felt like crying when she saw the fear in his eyes.
''Shut up! Now! If I hear one more word, I will kill the first person who is going to talk'' Clark yelled at both of them.
He suddenly slammed his gun against JJ's head and Hotch reacted when she fell down but he was stopped when Clark pointed the gun at him.
''JJ! JJ!'' Hotch yelled and he kept yelling out her name. He saw the blood coming from her head and he wanted to run over to her to check on her but the gun was still pointed at him.
''Well, Agent Hotchner, I promise I will enjoy JJ even more than I did with the others'' Clark said happily and he saw Hotch's angry face.
''You, son of a bitch. If you hurt her, I will kill you'' Hotch yelled angrily.
''No, you won't'' Clark said and he slammed the gun against Hotch's head too. Hotch fell to the ground as well which caused him to lose consciousness. JJ was still conscious and she felt herself being lifted up in his arms. The cold air suddenly hit her and she felt her body collide with the cold floor of a minivan. Walters bound and gagged JJ and he closed the doors to the minivan. JJ couldn't believe that the police didn't think about covering the entire building. JJ felt the car move and she knew this could be last couple of minutes of her life. She was just hoping that the team would find her in time.
