Chapter 9: Let the Fun Begin
2010, April 21, Middle East:
"The target is on the move, JJ do you copy?" asked Cruz.
"Copy that sir," she responded.
This was JJ's first mission as team sniper. Sure, she practiced and trained a lot, but the real deal was nothing like that. There's nothing you can compare with one move making the call between life and death. JJ had that power, she just wasn't quite comfortable using it yet.
Team 007 had been tracking a human trafficker, on the boarder of Iraq. He was said to be smuggling children and drugs out of the country for a very high price. They called him the Black Sheep because he stuck out so much that it made it hard for anyone to identify him. The man was a target, and because he wasn't open for negotiation, the only other way was to take him out.
JJ, Cruz and Michael had been watching him for days, while the rest of the team stuck behind and monitored everything. They had to make sure that the missing kids were with him, or this whole operation would be for nothing. One wrong move and a lot of kids' blood would be in JJ's hands.
While watching the Black Sheep get out of his van, JJ felt a bead of sweat trickle down her forehead. She thought of Henry and how if he was missing she would want someone out there trying to get him back, even if it meant killing someone in the process. She made her decision.
Her eyes focused in on the targets head, she pointed her rifle in the spot right between his eyes, took one deep breath and counted to three.
1, 2, 3, and like a bolt of lightning the bullet left her gun with a bang. JJ looked up as the man went down, blood spewing out of him. She didn't feel bad, and that was what haunted her the most.
Present Day, Unidentified Location:
When JJ first opened her eyes everything was blurry. She felt like she was drunk and sick at the same time. She was still tied to that stupid chair, but this time there was a light shining down on her. She remembered Michael being alive. He did this to her.
Speaking of the devil, Michael walked in the room with a mask in one hand. He looked pleased but also excited about something. This couldn't be good. He pulled the mask over his head and walked over to the video camera.
"This is where the real fun begins," he said turning it on. He then walked up close to her, too close and whispered in her ear. "If you try anything stupid I'll send guys to kill your son, he's at your neighbor Kate's house, the pretty lady with blond hair."
JJ didn't want to give this bastard the satisfaction, but she could tell he wasn't bluffing and she couldn't put the life of her son at risk. So she nodded.
Michael than grabbed two new needles off the table and looked straight into JJ's blue orbs.
"Let the party begin."
The team had the lead they were looking for all along, their problem was that they didn't know what to do with it. That's when Garcia ran into the room looking panicked.
"Sir, I was just sent a link to a live video feed," she said.
"Can you track it?" Hotch asked.
"It bouncing off too many signals, and the IP address is changing every 30 seconds."
"Open it," said Will, surprising everyone. "I know JJ's alive, I can feel it, but if we don't watch this we could miss something important."
"Will's right baby girl, push play," said Morgan.
Garcia pressed play and no one was prepared for what they saw on the screen.
