Brent was pacing the floor making sure everything was in in its' place, being finicky about every little detail. JJ didn't understand what he was so cautious about. It wasn't like it was an actualceremony. All he had was a bunch of boxes piled on top of each other a chair for Henry so he could play the ring barrier and be a witness to the wedding. "I know I'm forgetting something...what is it?" Brent said while snapping his fingers trying to force himself to push out the thought. " That's it how can I forget the most important thing?" Brent rushed up the stairs apparently he remembered what was so important. He came rushing back down with a huge white cloth wrapped in plastic. JJ's heart sank down to her toes when she see what the psychotic man was holding in his hand. "okay this has gone too far" JJ thought to herself.
The BAU team rushed out of their office to the two trucks. ""Do you think we should call for back up before we get there?" Emily asked as soon as she and Hotch got settled in. " No having backup and bringing all those sirens and guns would only make the unsub act out." This was the first time Emily was really truly nervous about taking down an unsub. Since the first day on the job Emily was always a hard ass, but now she couldn't feel anymore helpless.
Brent stared at JJ with a toothy smile. JJ was so tired of his antics she didn't even ask herself why was he staring at her that way. "This is for you" Brent said handing JJ the white cloth. "what is it?" JJ asked although she knew exactly what it was. She was trying to stall because in the back of her mind she knew her team was coming for her. "It's your wedding dress" Brent said. JJ stared at the raggedy dress that must have belonged to his wife. "Go ahead put it on" Brent shooed JJ off to the bathroom. JJ began to walk toward the bathroom. She turned around and looked at Henry's face, he looked so scared and clueless. "No" JJ said in a low scratchy voice. "what?" Brent asked when it was clear that he had indeed understood her. The house wasn't that big and she hadn't walked that far. "I said no... I'm not going to put the dress on" JJ swallowed hard and pushed her blonde bangs out of her face. Brent rushed over to her and grabbed her face so hard that she fell to her knees." I SAID YOU'RE GOING TO LEARN TO RESPECT ME NOW GO IN THE BACK AND PUT ON THE DAMN DRESS WERE YOU RAISED BY WOLVES? I SEE I HAVE TO TRAIN YOU IS THAT WHAT YOU NEED? TO BE TRAINED?"" Brent still had her face while he shook her with every word that he screamed. Henry began to cry out loud "stop hurting my mommy" he screamed.
"Are we almost there?" Emily asked while wringing her hands. "Almost" Hotch said without taking his eyes off the road. Emily checked the time on her watch. "god the time was going so slow" she thought. They should be there by now.
Brent went for Henry "Shut up you hear me this is between me and your mom." JJ tried to get Henry away from Brent but her ribs hurt to o much. She began to slowly crawl toward them, it took every muscle in her body to do this simple task. She let go of the breath that she had no idea that she was holding and yelled "Leave him alone he's just a child!"
Morgan and Reid waited for Hotch and Emily to pull in behind them. "hes gonna try to run when we confront him" Morgan said "then we surround him" Emily said. Morgan and Emily goes to the back of the house. "They're in there I hear JJ" Morgan whispered. Brent smacked JJ to the floor, and she lay there in a ball. "he needs discipline or he would turn out just like you" Brent said as he grabbed JJ
s hair making her look at him. JJ winced and bit her bottom lip. " stop right there Potter!" Morgan yelled. Brent stopped in his tracks. JJ didn't have to look up she knew who's voice it was. She felt so relieved she let out a big sigh. Brent stood JJ up still holding her hair. "see what you did?" He yanked her hair with every word. ."He said stop Potter" Emily came from behind Brent. ""Oh its the bitch!" Brent laughed as he turned toward her. "let her go" Emily commanded. "how'd you like your little medicine?" he shot back. He put his arm around JJ's neck preventing her from running. "She said let her go" Hotch chimed in. "you guys gonna take my family away from me again?" Brent said with tears in his eyes. "huh?" he asked while turning around to face Morgan. JJ took all of the strength that she had and elbowed him in the ribs. He stumbled and let go of JJ. She fell to the ground and the team swarmed him. "Brent potter you're under arrest for the kidnapping of Jennifer Jareau and Her son Henry."Emily read him his rights and hand cuffed him. Reid went to see if JJ was okay. When JJ finally raised her face Reid was distraught at the huge gash on her fore head "oh my gosh...we need a medic"Hotch called for medical assistance and went over to help JJ. "it's not as bad as it looks guys" JJ said while the two men helped her sit up. "I'm just glad you guys came." JJ whispered. "Of course we came JJ why wouldn't we? " Hotch said. "Thank you...thank you" JJ said while being lifted into the ambulance. "take care of Henry for me, and please tell Will not to worry too much." JJ told Emily. "no problem I wont let you down this time." Emily whispered and walked away.
