Chapter 9

Forty-five minutes later, at the agreed location; Dave and Jason stand outside the abandon warehouse. It's in a few cities over from where they were stationed for the case. So Dave drove with the light and sirens blaring. They wanted to get there early. Reid was with them, but stayed in the car. Someone needed to be with the injured woman, while Dave drove to the closest hospital.

With all the new fangled gadgets all in place on Jason Gideon's person, Dave and Jason waited for Frank to pull up. About five minutes after they arrived, Frank comes into view. They didn't know what to expect when the car pulled up. Dave held his breath. Fearing he would see JJ with a gun shot wound. The car comes to a stop farther away from the SUV that Dave drove. Frank slowly steps out of the driver's seat of the sapphire blue, four door Malibu. Frank approaches the two men.

"Jason, so great to see you again. I can't wait to dine with you. I make the best milkshakes, with the exception of the fine diner that we met in. I'm sure the remaining two ladies can't wait to see your ugly mug. Anyhow, let's make this go as smoothly as possible. She's in some pain and losing a bit of blood. Now, get your third man to transfer her from my car. And remember, if something happens to me the other ladies will surely die. No one knows where they are. Jason, say good-bye to you colleague. Then get into my car. Passenger seat." Frank says, not taking his eyes off Dave.

"Who was injured?" Dave asks as he gives the hand signal to Reid to go to the back seat of Franks car. Reid opens the door and looks in to see Emily laying unconscious. He looks up and over at Dave with a sad face. Then shook his head to indicate it wasn't JJ. Dave took a deep cleansing breath. They the panic set in, but not as bad as when he thought it was JJ.

"You will see soon enough Agent Rossi. Now help him move her over to your vehicle and get out of here." Frank hissed. He wanted to be alone with Jason, to pick at the wound of his heart. He knew that he'd be able to get a rise out of him if he told Jason everything he did to Sarah. Then that would give him reason to use violence on Jason.

Dave walks over to the car to assist Reid in carrying Emily's limp body. When Dave sees Emily, his heart sinks and he thinks of what Hotch will be feeling. Then he grabs Emily's feet after Reid pulls Emily out from her underarms. They get her safely into the SUV and quickly get into their seats. They sped away to get her to the closest hospital.

"Pen, I really think you need to let me wrap that knee. It needs heat fifteen minutes and then ice for fifteen minutes. Or is it ice then heat? Same with your back. I hope that you didn't do any serious damage to you knee or back." JJ says, sitting next to Penelope on the bed. Frank had locked them into a bedroom until he got back. JJ worried about Emily and then Penelope. She didn't want to think about what had happened to her. She was seriously beginning to think that she was somehow the butt of a joke from the cosmos. She couldn't believe it happened again. She's numb right now, but she knew sooner or later she would crack or even break.

"JJ, I'm fine. I have had worse done to me. I do understand what Emily's feeling. I believe that's where I was shot too. Doesn't feel so great." Penelope cringed at the memory of that awful night. But it did lead her to her ever so hot Kevin Lynch. That's the only good thing to come out of the whole situation.

"I didn't mean for anyone to get hurt. I thought I was saving us. I guess I didn't think about it before I screwed us. I'm really sorry Pen. DAMN! Why did I have to try to get us out of here?" JJ says, beating herself up. She just didn't want them to go through what she did. She'd been raped twice in only months. She HAD to try to keep them safe. She couldn't do that last time.

"JJ, don't blame yourself. You thought he was out. We had to try to get away. Now Emily's gone. So now we can try to figure a way out for us. We're two smart women. We can think this through." Penelope says, trying to give JJ hope.

"I should have known that his head was too hard to keep him down for any length of time. I really…" JJ trails off as she hears a car pull up. "I think he's back." JJ walks over to the window and she sees two men getting out of the car. "Pen, Gideon's here!" JJ says with a second wind of hope. They she prayed that Gideon couldn't tell what she'd been through. JJ went back to sit next to Penelope.

A few minutes pass, then the girls hear the lock on the door start to be fiddled with. JJ stayed next to JJ. Determined to protect her like a momma bear.

"Ms. Jennifer, Ms. Penelope. We have a visitor. Please, come downstairs." Frank moves aside to let the women pass him and go down the stairs slowly.
