A/N: I am so sorry it has been so long since I updated. I had complete writers block. Ugh, I hate it when that happens. On top of that I nearly cut the end of my finger off, so I had stitches on the end of my finger, which made it very difficult to type. Luckily, the stitches have now been removed and I was finally able to finish this chapter. Hope you enjoy.

Ch 9

Garcia woke early after her first night with Penny. Kevin had stayed the night as well and when Garcia walked into the kitchen, with the nearly two year old in her arms, she found her boyfriend already cooking breakfast. Garcia smiled at the man she had fallen head over heels for. Kevin turned and found Garcia standing in the kitchen, a sleepy toddler in her arms. He smiled at her and she returned it.

"How did I get so lucky?" the bubbly blonde asked

"I think that should be my question" he replied

Garcia smiled even wider before placing Penny into her high chair. She looked at the clock and saw that it was 730am. She began thinking about her friends, hoping that they were having a wonderful time at the beach. She was sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee in hand when her cell phone rang. Thinking it was probably one of her worried friends she got up and made her way over to the bar, reaching for the phone with a smile, ready to ward off the overprotective mothers whom were two of her best friends. She didn't even look at the caller ID as she answered the phone.

"Listen up my sexy ladies, your little one is just-"

She was cut off by Hotch, "Garcia, listen to me, there's been a shooting"

Garcia's voice paled as her boss interrupted her and she braced herself for what was about to come.

"Who?" she asked, her voice cracking

"Morgan" he answered

"Oh my God" she gasped as she sank onto a bar stool

Kevin was immediately by her side and she could feel his presence beside her, his hand on her shoulder.

"What happened?" she managed to ask

"I don't know all of the details yet, but he's in surgery at St Matthew's Hospital, Rossi and I are on our way right now. I'm getting ready to call Reid"

"I'll meet you there" she told him

"I can't seem to reach JJ or Prentiss" Hotch informed her

"I'll try them on my way" Garcia said

"Okay" Hotch replied before hanging up

Garcia then jumped up off of the bar stool, scooping Penny up out of the high chair and making her way towards the stairs, before Kevin stopped her.

"Pen what happened?" he asked in a concerned tone

"Derek…he…he was shot" she told him, the tears now threatening to fall

"Baby I'm so sorry" he said as he pulled her against him, careful not to smother Penny between them

Garcia let the tears now freely fall as the conversation finally consumed her and reality hit home.

"Oh my God Kevin, what if…what if he dies?" she cried into his chest

"He's not going to die Penelope, he's strong" Kevin said, trying to ease her worry but not being sure how badly the dark agent had been hurt, he didn't know if he was telling her the truth or not.

"I have to get to the hospital" she said suddenly frantic again

"Okay and I will get you there, but we all need to get dressed, and Penny needs to eat something" he told her as he reached for the blonde toddler, taking her from Garcia

"I'll feed her and you go get dressed okay" he told her

Garcia nodded as she turned to head up the stairs. On her way up she remembered she was supposed to try to get a hold of JJ and Emily. She dialed the blonde agent's number first, her phone ringing till it went to voicemail. She then tried Emily's only to find it going straight to voicemail. She shook her head in frustration at her friends. She knew they were probably still asleep and didn't have their phones near them since they were on vacation, but it didn't stop her from being angry.

They were out the door a little over thirty minutes later, Kevin driving JJ's four runner since it had the car seat in the back. They arrived at the hospital and Garcia rushed in, heading directly for the nurse's station, while Kevin hurried in behind her with Penny in his arms and a baby bag thrown over his shoulder. A nurse finally directed them upstairs to a different floor.

The two got off the elevator on the third floor and as they rushed around the corner they came face to face with Hotch and Rossi, Reid sitting in a chair with his head down.

"How is he?" Garcia questioned

Rossi placed a comforting hand on her shoulder as he stepped closer to her, "He's still in surgery, but it doesn't look good. He was shot in the upper left chest, it missed his heart by an inch and he lost a lot of blood"

Garcia paled and would have collapsed if Hotch and Rossi wouldn't have been there. They helped her over to the chair next to Reid as she let the tears once again fall.

Kevin stepped up beside the older men and asked, "What happened?"

Hotch shook his head, "The police weren't sure. Derek wasn't conscious when they and the paramedics arrived. One of the neighbors said they heard the gunshot and looked out the window and saw a dark car speeding down the road"

"They think it was a drive by?" he questioned as he shifted Penny to his other arm

Garcia was listening and finally joined the conversation, "Random?" she asked

"At this point that's the way it looks. They shot up some cars on the street too, but no one else was injured" Hotch said nodding his head

Reid finally looked up as well, clearly distraught, but he asked the other question nobody else had yet, "Did anyone get hold of JJ and Emily?"

Everyone turned to one another and the two older agents looked back at Garcia, who shook her head, "I tried but JJ didn't answer and Em's phone was off"

"I'll try them again" Rossi said as he turned to walk down the hallway

As he hit the speed dial for Emily he felt the anger rise slightly within him when her phone went straight to voicemail, just as Garcia had said. He hung up and tried JJ, her phone ringing, but finally going to voicemail as well.

He left the blonde a message, hoping she would get back to them soon, "JJ it's Rossi. Call me as soon as you get this…there's been a shooting"

He hung up as he turned to walk back over to the rest of the team, shaking his head at them as he answered their silent question.

"Why aren't they answering?" Reid asked as he looked from Hotch to Rossi

"I'm sure JJ just doesn't have her volume all the way up. They'll call as soon as they get the message" Rossi told him, trying to convince the younger agent the reason for the two women not answering

"When was he shot?" Garcia asked, looking up at her boss

"A little over an hour ago. My guess was he was leaving to head to work" Hotch answered

The team members finally moved from the hallway into the waiting room just down the hall. Kevin handed Penny off to Rossi who sat with the toddler on his lap, trying to keep her entertained, and keep his mind off of things while they waited impatiently for the doctor to update them on Morgan's status.

Two and a half hours later the doctor finally stepped into the waiting room. The team all jumped out of their seats, including Rossi, who now held a sleeping toddler in his arms.

The doctor nodded at them before he began speaking, "Agent Morgan sustained a gunshot wound to his upper chest and lost a lot of blood in the process. While we were trying get the bullet out he coded on the table"

There were collective gasps around the room before the doctor continued, "But we were able to get him back and get him stable. We finished retrieving the bullet and patched him up. He's still in critical condition and will stay in ICU for at least tomorrow. We will decide where to go with him once he wakes up."

"And when will that be?" Hotch asked

"He's still heavily sedated and will most likely not wake up until tonight, maybe, depending on how his body responds to the trauma"

"Can we see him?" Reid questioned

The doctor nodded as he looked around at the team, "Only two at a time and no kids, okay"

The team nodded and before the doctor turned around to leave Hotch stopped him.

"Thank you" he said sincerely as she shook the doctor's hand

The doctor nodded before turning and walking out of the waiting room.

Hotch turned and nodded at Rossi. The older man handed Penny carefully off to Kevin, who sat back down in a chair. Rossi then turned to Garcia.

"Would you like to go see him now?" he asked

She nodded frantically as she hurried out of the waiting room, Rossi hot on her heels. After direction from a nurse in ICU they found his room. Garcia stopped in her tracks and gasped as she spotted the dark agent through his large glass window looking into his room. He was laying on his back hooked up to several machines.

Rossi took her arm in comfort, "He's going to be okay Garcia, he's strong…and stubborn. It could have been a lot worse. Come on"

He led her into Morgan's small room as they walked up beside the bed. Garcia reached down and took the dark agent's hand in her own, squeezing it gently.

"You better be okay Derek Morgan, cause I don't know what I'd do without you, do you hear me" she said to him

"Besides if you don't hurry up and get better Emily and I are going to kick your ass" Rossi said with a small smile

As Rossi stared down at the younger man he couldn't help but think about the past and how long it took for both of them to get to a point of trust. They had heated words when Rossi first joined the team and they usually had differing opinions about things, but they had both grown to respect one another. One thing that had led to that was Emily. The brunette agent had a special relationship with both men and they both knew that. Rossi noticed from day one with this team that the two profilers had a special bond. At first he thought there was more to their relationship than just being partners, but after getting to know them a little better and spending more time with them he realized that they were just best friends, and two people who had some major trust issues. He knew that the dark agent would give his life for his brunette partner without thinking twice and vice versa. And Morgan had noticed ever since the incident with Emily's childhood friends, Matthew and John, that Rossi had become more protective of the brunette in a fatherly way. The dark agent had noticed how involved Rossi was with that case and how he did everything in his power to help Emily and he had a great amount of respect for him after that.

As Rossi came out of his reverie he began to think about the brunette, wondering if she or JJ had called anyone on the team back yet. He looked at his watch, noticing that it was just after 11am now and the first time they had tried calling the two women was around 730 that morning.

"Get better kid. I'm going to need you around to argue with about things" the older man said as he looked down at Morgan one last time

Garcia nodded at Rossi, knowing they needed to leave the room so Hotch and Reid could come back. She bent down and kissed Morgan on the cheek and whispered,

"I'll be back soon my chocolate god"

Garcia and Rossi made it back to the waiting room and Garcia immediately took the seat next to Kevin. Hotch and Reid then got up and headed out of the waiting room to go see Morgan.

Once everyone was back in the waiting room Hotch looked around the room before shaking his head, "Something isn't right"

"What do you mean?" Reid asked as he sat in a chair next to Rossi

"Something just doesn't feel right" he replied as he placed his hands on his hips and looked down at the ground

It was now close to noon and nobody from the team had heard from Emily or JJ yet. Rossi excused himself from the waiting room as he stepped out into the hall, hitting Emily's speed dial again. He once again received both women's voicemail. He took a deep breath as he squeezed the phone in his hand before turning and walking back into the waiting room.

"I agree with Hotch. Something isn't right" Rossi stated as he held up his phone, "The girls still aren't answering"

Hotch turned from Rossi to look at Garcia, "When was the last time you talked to them?"

"Um…uh…yesterday afternoon...after they had gotten unpacked. They called to check on Penny" Garcia said as she fumbled for words

"And they sounded okay?" Rossi asked as he stared at the normally bubbly blonde

Garcia nodded, "Um, yeah, they were getting ready to take the boys swimming"

"Were they supposed to call you today?" Rossi questioned, with a slightly harsh tone

"They said that they might call this morning…but if not they would call tonight…that way they could read Penny a story…oh my god, I told them not to call until tonight" Garcia answered

"Okay, hey, Garcia" Rossi said walking up and squatting down in front of her, "Listen to me. Just because they haven't called back doesn't mean anything, okay. They are probably just away from their phones, at the beach with the boys"

"I know you are just trying to make me feel better" Garcia said, "but don't you dare lie to me David Rossi"

Rossi nodded as he stood up, "Okay somebody should stay here with Morgan. The rest of us should go check out the scene"

"You mean where Morgan was shot?" Reid asked

Hotch nodded, "Yes. Reid, you, Rossi, and I will go to the scene. Garcia could you trace Prentiss and JJ's phones? Just to make sure they are at the beach house?"

"Yes sir" she answered as she got up, turning and scooping Penny up in her arms

Hotch then turned to Kevin, "Would you mind hanging out around here just to make sure everything is okay with Morgan. In case he wakes up"

"Of course" Kevin replied

"Okay. Let's go" Hotch ordered as he turned to head out of the waiting room, Reid, Rossi, and Garcia following him

Reid and Rossi climbed into Hotch's car with him to head to Morgan's house, while Garcia strapped Penny into her car seat in the back of JJ's Four Runner, before climbing in and heading to the office.

When Hotch pulled up in front of Morgan's house all three profilers took a deep breath before getting out of the car and walking up to the yard, which had been taped off. There were officers posted at the front and all three men showed their credentials before ducking under the tape and walking up the sidewalk.

They stared down at the pool of blood that had stained part of the sidewalk, as they imagined Morgan laying partly on the sidewalk and partly on the grass.

"Okay" Rossi said as he turned and walked down the front walk, re-enacting what Morgan would have done that morning, "So I'm walking down to my car"

Hotch turned to Rossi, while Reid studied the neighborhood road, "He didn't have time to use his weapon" the young genius stated

"Well it happened so fast" Rossi replied as he made his way to where Hotch was still standing

"Reid's right. If it was a drive by someone on this street was a target. Morgan's house is right in the middle of these houses and nobody else was injured. The only other things hit were cars on the street." Hotch pointed out

"Are you saying Morgan was the target all along?" Rossi asked as he looked at the team leader

The dark haired agent thinned his lips in anger as he nodded his head.

"But why?" Reid questioned

"That's what we need to find out" answered Hotch, before he turned and headed up the walk and inside Derek Morgan's house

As the three men walked around the living room of their colleague, they all thought back to two years prior when Morgan had first bought and moved into this house. They had all been invited over for a move in party, but as the men looked around, Hotch and Rossi realized that they had not been to this house since then. The two older men turned and followed Reid into the kitchen, where they watched the young genius look around, before staring at the refrigerator. Hotch and Rossi both noticed that he was staring at different pictures that were stuck to the doors of the stainless steel fridge. Hotch and Rossi both looked closer and noticed that the majority of the pictures were of the team. There were a few of Derek's mother and sisters, as well as a young niece and nephew who had been born a little over a year ago, as twins, to his youngest sister. But the majority of the pictures were of Reid, Garcia, Emily, JJ, even Kevin, and all of the kids. Even Hotch and Rossi were in some of them.

"Okay spread out" Hotch ordered as he turned to walk out of the kitchen and up the narrow staircase

When he reached the top he turned down the narrow hallway, walking past the first bedroom, which he knew was used as a guest room, before passing the next small room, peeking in it and finding it to be used as an office space. Hotch stopped at the last bedroom which he knew was the master, stepping inside and looking around. He didn't notice anything that looked out of place or off.

The bed was neatly made, the nightstand beside the bed containing only a small lamp and an alarm clock. Hotch imagined Derek waking up to the alarm that morning, turning it off and rolling out of bed, before heading into the bathroom. Hotch turned and walked into the master bathroom, which contained a short bathroom counter, one sink and a claw foot tub/shower. The team leader shook his head, knowing when it came to houses that Emily and Derek had the same taste, liking the older homes. Hotch looked around, nothing seeming out of place, before walking back into the bedroom. He turned and walked over to the dresser. Hotch noticed a few picture frames and as he looked at each one, he felt his anger begin to boil at the person who had shot his team mate and friend. He scanned the pictures, one containing Derek, his mom, and his sisters. Another containing the entire team at the Christmas party two years ago. One picture was a funny one of Garcia and Morgan, huge smiles on their faces. Then there was one of Morgan, Reid, and Prentiss, Reid hanging on Morgan's back, obviously laughing, while Morgan had his arms tightly around Emily's waist, holding her slightly off the ground, as her head was thrown back in laughter and Morgan's head bent slightly, also laughing. Hotch remembered that day. Everyone was at his house for a barbecue and Morgan and Emily had gotten into it, beginning a fight, which was all in fun, until Morgan ran after Emily. Reid joined in, trying to defend Emily's honor, and as Morgan had caught Emily, Reid had launched himself onto the dark agents back. Hotch remembered all of them laughing and Garcia snapping the picture as quickly as she could.

Hotch then picked up the last picture. He stared at it, a smile crossing his face as he looked at Morgan standing in a stance with his arms up flexing. Declan was standing directly in front of him, the exact same stance as Morgan. From each of Morgan's arms there was a child hanging. Jack was holding onto Derek's left bicep, while Ethan hung from Derek's right one. And perched on Morgan's shoulders was Henry who had his arms up, flexing them just as Morgan and Declan were. That was taken about six months after Emily had officially adopted Declan. Jack and Ethan were about seven in the picture, Declan was twelve, and Henry had just turned four. Hotch heard someone walk up behind him and guessed who it was.

"None of this makes sense Dave" the leader stated as he turned around, the picture of Morgan and the kids still in his hand

Rossi nodded as he walked up next to Hotch and looked at the pictures on the dresser before taking the one from Hotch's hand and looking at it. He smiled slightly before setting it back down on it's place on the dresser.

"We are going to figure it out Aaron" Rossi said, trying to be as convincing as possible

"You're damn right we are. And we aren't stopping until we do" Hotch stated as he turned to leave the bedroom, "There's nothing out of place here. Let's meet up with Garcia"

Rossi turned and followed Hotch out of the bedroom, down the stairs, and out of the house.

The three men walked into the BAU and headed straight for Garcia's office. Without even knocking, Hotch swung open the door and barged in, causing the bubbly blonde to jump in her seat.

"Did you trace JJ's phone?" Hotch asked as he led the other two men into the office

The blonde nodded, "Yes and it's showing that they are at the house at Virginia Beach, where they are supposed to be"

Hotch nodded, "Okay. Despite that, Dave, I want you and Reid to fly down there and check on them, just to be sure. You can take the jet, it will save time"

Rossi nodded as he and Reid turned and walked out of Garcia's office. Hotch then turned back to Garcia who was staring at Penny sitting on the floor playing with some toys.

"Garcia I'm sure they are okay, but I just want to make sure" he said as he walked a little closer and knelt down in front of the toddler

The blonde little girl looked up at Hotch and smiled widely, her eyes lighting up in the same bright blue as her mothers. Hotch smiled briefly at the child before standing up and turning serious again.

"You can go back to the hospital now, if you want" Hotch told Garcia before adding, "And feel free to drop Penny off with Jessica and Jack. That way you don't have to keep hauling her around"

"But I promised-"

Hotch cut her off, "Garcia, with everything that has happened with Morgan I'm sure that they won't mind"

Garcia nodded as Hotch walked out of her office. Then she turned to look at the toddler. She got up and scooped the blonde headed girl into her arms, throwing the baby bag over her shoulder and heading out of her office.

Hotch retreated to his office to try and think more clearly about the events that had unfolded in the last twelve hours. He closed his eyes as he sat down at his desk, silently praying that Emily, JJ, and the kids were okay.

Garcia dropped Penny off at Hotch's house, where Jessica was watching Jack. The two women talked for a few minutes before Jack came bounding down the stairs.

"Hi Aunt Pen" he said with a smile

Then he smiled even bigger when he saw Penny, "Hi Penny"

The toddler smiled brightly at the eleven year old and reached her hands out to the brunette boy, "J"

Jack laughed as he took the small blonde girl from Garcia's grasp. But as he did he noticed that his aunt and Garcia appeared to have been in a serious conversation.

"What's wrong?" he asked as he looked from one woman to the other

The women just looked at each other before Jack spoke up again, "Guys I'm not dumb. I know something is wrong. Is my dad okay?"

"Yes Jack, your dad is fine" Jessica reassured him

"Then what is it?"

The two women stood in silence, debating internally about whether or not to tell him about Morgan.

"Guys?" he questioned again

"Morgan was hurt this morning and he's in the hospital. So I'm dropping Penny off to hang with you guys for awhile so that I can go see him again" Garcia informed the eleven year old

"Is he okay?"

Garcia looked at Jessica who took over answering that question, "Not really sweetie. He was shot this morning and he had to have surgery"

"What?" Jack said raising his voice and looking from one woman to the other

"He made it out of surgery and they are just waiting for him to wake up" his aunt reassured him

"You've known about this all day and you didn't tell me?" Jack replied, the hurt and anger evident in his voice

"Sweetie your dad and I thought it would be best to wait until we knew more" Jessica told him

"I'm not a baby. I can handle it"

"I know…I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner"

Jack was silent for a moment as he jiggled Penny on his hip and looked into her blue eyes. Then he turned and looked back up at his aunt and Garcia.

"How did he get shot? Dad didn't say they were working on a new case"

Jessica looked at Garcia who looked down at the boy, "He was walking to his car"

"So they weren't working on a case?" Jack asked, looking for clarification

Garcia shook her head.

"Did they catch the guy?"

Garcia shook her head again, "Not yet"

Jack looked down at the ground before looking back up at Garcia, "Can I come up to the hospital later?"

"Sweetie, he's in ICU and kids under fourteen aren't allowed in, so there is no reason for you to be there" Jessica told him as she reached out and brushed some of his light brown hair out of his eyes.

"But I bet Ethan is going to get to go up there" he stated

Garcia then looked at Jessica with shocked eyes. She hadn't gotten a chance to fill the woman in on the fact that they couldn't get hold of Emily and JJ. She looked back down at Jack quickly as she came up with an answer.

"They are on vacation, honey, so I'm sure Ethan won't be at the hospital" Garcia attempted to convince him

Jack cocked his head to the side as he looked up at the normally bubbly blonde, "They aren't going to come home since Uncle Derek is hurt?"

Garcia swallowed as she silently cursed herself for trying to play a fast one on Hotch's son, "Well-"

"Coz Ethan loves Uncle Derek like a dad. I'm pretty sure they all do. And Aunt Emily loves him a lot too. They're like best friends. I know that if my best friend, who we all know is Ethan, were in the hospital, I would totally leave my vacation to come back to see him"

Garcia took a deep breath, knowing that Jack was right, "You are totally right Jack. But for now you kids are going to stay at home, until we get approval from the adults to let you come up there, okay"

"Promise?" he asked as he looked up at Garcia

"Promise" she told him with a smile before ruffling his straight light brown hair

Garcia then kissed Penny on top of the head before Jack turned with the toddler and walked into the living room, setting the little girl on the floor and sitting down beside her. Garcia smiled before turning and thanking Jessica and then heading out the door to make her way to the hospital.

When she finally made it back to the hospital, she found that nothing had changed with Morgan. She and Kevin talked for awhile, but then Garcia asked if she could just be alone with Morgan for a little bit. Kevin of course agreed and once she had checked in on him herself, she stepped out of his room to make a phone call to his mother. She knew Hotch had already spoken to her, but she wanted to talk to the woman herself to see how she was doing.

When Garcia finally got off of the phone with the very distraught woman she walked back into Morgan's room and sat down in the chair beside his bed. She covered his hand in her own as she began to talk to him. She told him that his mother and sisters were going to be on the first available flight they could get, which looked like it wasn't going to be until the following day. Then she began talking to him about other things.

Meanwhile Reid and Rossi finally landed in the Virginia Beach area and took a car to the rental agency which JJ and Emily had used. Once they got their address and a spare key they hopped back in the car and drove down the road, searching for the house that matched the address they were given.

Rossi pulled into the driveway that matched the address they had. He and Reid slowly got out of the car and walked up the driveway.

"Their car isn't here" Reid pointed out

Rossi nodded, "Let's hope they've just gone out for the day and forgot their phones"

They then walked around to the back of the house to look around. They didn't notice anything out of place so they walked back to the front and knocked on the door. When they didn't get an answer Rossi knocked again, announcing who it was. After still not getting an answer Rossi stuck the key in the lock and turned it. He entered first, followed closely by Reid. As they walked inside, Rossi yelled out for Emily and JJ, announcing his presence once again. They still did not receive any answer so they walked through the downstairs area before slowly ascending some stairs and coming out in the upstairs living area.

As Rossi looked around the first thing he noticed was how clean everything still looked. There weren't any toys scattered about, let alone any clothes or food.

"It sure looks clean" he pointed out to Reid

"Well they have only been here a day" the boy genius replied

Rossi stopped to turn and look at the young man, "You have met this family, right?"

Reid grinned before turning and continuing to look around. That's when he spotted two cell phones on the coffee table, along with two fedora hats. He walked over to the table and looked down at the items.

"Rossi"

The older man turned and found Reid looking down at the coffee table, where he spotted two hats and a couple of cell phones. He walked over to Reid before bending over and picking up one of the phones.

"This is Emily's" he stated

Reid nodded, "And this is JJ's"

As Reid picked up the blonde's phone, he slid the screen on and saw that there were several missed calls, all from different members of the team.

"I guess they just forgot them?" Reid questioned

Ross continued to look at the phones, before he picked up the black fedora hat, which he recognized as Ethan's.

"This is Ethan's hat and that one I believe is JJ's" the older man pointed out

"So?"

"So when have you known Ethan to ever leave his hat behind" Rossi stated

"Maybe he's wearing a different one" Reid suggested, wanting to stay positive

Rossi set the hat and phone back down before turning and walking towards one of the hallways. He turned down it and found the master bedroom. As he looked around he noticed that the two women had unpacked their bags. As he inspected their bathroom, he saw their swim suits hanging over the shower door, along with a couple beach towels, so he knew that they had been to the beach. He turned to head out of the bedroom and when he entered the living room he saw Reid coming out of the other hallway.

"Find anything?" Rossi asked

The young man shook his head, "No nothing unusual. It looks like all three boys are sleeping in one room. None of them have unpacked, but I found swimsuits and towels in the bathroom so they've obviously been to the beach"

Rossi nodded, "Similar to Emily and JJ's bathroom"

As the two men stood in the kitchen, thinking, Rossi looked back up at Reid, before turning and walking quickly back to the master bedroom. He came back out shortly after and looked at the younger man.

"It doesn't look like their bed has been slept in. Could you tell if the boys had slept in their bed?"

Reid shook his head as he walked back down the hallway, Rossi hot on his heels. As he walked into the bedroom with the bunk bed and double bed they took one look around before looking at each other.

"There is no way they slept here last night" Rossi stated

Reid couldn't speak, he was trying to calm his nerves that were on edge. He wanted so badly to believe that they were okay and just out for the day. But after seeing this house and coming up with numerous excuses, he realized that they were not just out running errands. These beds were way too neat and there was no way Ethan would not have unpacked his clothes last night. Reid stared at the bottom bunk which still had the two youngest boy's suitcases on it, laying open, but not unpacked.

Rossi pulled out his phone and called Hotch.

"What did you find Rossi?" the lead agent asked

"They aren't here. I don't know how long they've been gone, but their beds have not been slept in and we found their phones on the table"

"You're sure they aren't just out somewhere?"

"Hotch, their car is missing, the house is way too neat, they haven't eaten here. Ethan hasn't unpacked and like I already said, there is no way their beds have been slept in"

Hotch closed his eyes as he tried to focus on the other end of the line.

"Hotch?" Rossi questioned

"Okay ask around to see if anyone remembers the last time they saw them. Surely someone will remember seeing two beautiful women with three boys"

"Okay" Rossi replied before hanging up

Meanwhile at the warehouse Chloe and Patrick were discussing their next move.

"Are you sure your men can handle it?" Patrick asked

"They handled Agent Morgan didn't they?" she countered

"And you're sure he is dead?" Patrick questioned

"My men don't miss" Chloe stated, growing angry

"Okay call them and have them take care of it"

"Which one is next?" she asked

Patrick thought for a moment before a smile spread across his face, "Let's take care of Agent Reid next" he told her as he handed Chloe a picture of the young doctor.

Chloe returned the smile as she took the picture, copying it to her phone before sending it to the two men she had waiting. Once she had hit the send button she looked back up at Patrick Doyle.

"Done. They will let us know when he is taken care of"

A/N: Okay another chapter down! And I have no idea how many more there will be, but I will update as soon as I can, but I am not sure how long it will take!
