"Rossi, what's going on?" Morgan asked when he, Reid, Garcia and Ashley walked into the conference room.
"I think it will be best, if Hotch told you guys." Rossi answered.
"Where is the boss man at?" Garcia asked.
"He should be here soon." Rossi answered.
"Do you know what Hotch wants to tell us?" Ashley asked.
"Yeah and I just found out today myself." Rossi told her.
Reid went over to the window, to see if Hotch was down in the bullpen. "Look who's here." He said, when he saw JJ carrying Henry and Will right behind her, walking through the bullpen.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Garcia asked, as soon as JJ stepped into the conference room.
"Hotch, called me and told me to bring my family to the BAU." JJ told her.
"So, do you know the reason why we are here?" Reid asked.
"Yes." JJ answered.
"But you can't tell us either?" Reid asked.
"Hotch needs to tell you guys." JJ said looking at Reid.
~.~.~
Hotch walked into the conference room, three minutes later dress in a suit. "Everyone have a seat." He said to the team.
Reid, Garcia and Ashley sat at the round table, while JJ, Rossi and Morgan stood up. And Will took Henry over to the couch with him to sit.
"What's going on Hotch?" Morgan asked, with a concerned look on his face.
"I made a decision that affected this team, but I did it to protect all of you and her, Emily is alive." Hotch revealed to the team.
Garcia, Reid and Ashley were shock over the news, but Morgan was angry about what Hotch just revealed to them.
"Damn you, Hotch, you knew the entire time that Prentiss was alive, while we grieved for her. You could have told us then that she survived." Morgan angrily said.
"I couldn't without risking her life and risking everyone in this room." Hotch told him.
Morgan shook his head in disbelief at Hotch.
"Morgan, I know you're angry at Hotch right now, but Doyle has Jack and we need to get him back soon." Rossi told an angry Morgan.
"Why did Doyle take your son?" Morgan asked Hotch.
"He wants Prentiss and he thinks I'm going to tell her that he has my son." Hotch said.
"So, Prentiss doesn't know?" Ashley asked.
"Yeah and I want to keep it that way." Hotch answered.
"Where is Emily at?" Reid asked him.
"Emily is in Paris, French, with Clyde Easter." Hotch told him.
"How is she and have you talked to her?" Garcia asked.
"Emily is good, but she misses everyone. And I talked to her earlier." Hotch said.
"Do you have any idea, where Ian would take Jack to?" Rossi asked suddenly.
"No, but I talked to Clyde, earlier and he said that Ian probably took Jack somewhere that Prentiss would follow him to." Hotch said.
"Boston?" Ashley asked.
Hotch, shook his head yes at her. "But he could still be in D.C." He said.
"Do you know if Doyle is working alone?" Reid asked.
"I think he is, but I don't really know for sure." Hotch answered. "Garcia, I need you to check if there's any recent activity in any abandoned buildings or warehouses that can house a small army in the Virginia and D.C. areas."
Garcia nodded her head at that and went to her office.
"Morgan and I will go to your apartment and look around." Rossi offered.
"I've looked already, but maybe you guys can find something, that I missed." Hotch said.
~.~.~
Morgan and Rossi left and went to Hotch's apartment and Reid went over to Will and JJ followed Reid over to Will and Henry.
"Did you know that Emily was alive before this?" Reid asked, wondering.
"No, this is the first time I've heard." Will told him.
"Oh." Reid said.
"Spence, I'm sorry, I couldn't tell you the truth, but Hotch and I needed to keep Emily safe." JJ said apologizing.
"I understand that you and Hotch, couldn't say anything because of Doyle." Reid said, but a little upset that he was lied to about Prentiss.
Hotch went over to them, "JJ, I will have Anderson check your family into a hotel room." He said.
"Ok." JJ said.
Hotch walked out of the conference room and went down in the bullpen and found Anderson sitting at his desk.
"Anderson, I need you to check JJ's family into a hotel room and I want you to stay with them." Hotch told him.
"Ok, sir." Anderson answered.
Will and Henry left with Anderson to a hotel.
~.~.~
Rossi and Morgan entered Hotch's apartment.
"You're angry at Hotch for keeping you in the dark about Prentiss." Rossi said, as he went into the kitchen.
"Yeah, I'm angry at him for keeping all of us in the dark about Prentiss. Hotch could have told us, months ago that she survived, but no he chose to make us, suffer the lost of a friend." Morgan said.
"Hotch couldn't tell us, even if he could, not without risking Prentiss' life and everyone on the team." Rossi said.
"Does, Hotch have feelings for Prentiss?" Morgan asked.
"I've asked Hotch if he does, but he said he doesn't know. I think he does have feelings for her." Rossi told him.
"I think the same thing too, that he does have feelings for her." Morgan said, "Let's get Jack back to Hotch."
"It looks like Hotch was getting ready to make dinner for Jack and himself." Rossi said, seeing the dishes on the counter.
"Jack was in his room right, when Doyle took him?" Morgan asked, walking down to Jack's bedroom.
"Yeah and Hotch was knocked out from behind." Rossi said when he and Morgan walked into Jack's room.
"Ok, Hotch entered Jack's room, but didn't see Doyle because he was in the closet hiding at that time." Morgan said, looking around the room.
"Doyle's working alone." Rossi said.
"I'm thinking the same thing too because if he was working with a team, they would have knocked Hotch out and took Jack, when Hotch and Jack entered their apartment." Morgan explained.
"Let's get back to the office and tell Hotch and the rest of the team, that we came to the conclusion that, Doyle is working alone." Rossi said, as he and Morgan got into their black SUV.

Jack is sitting in a corner in some warehouse with puffy red eyes. Crying for his dad.
