Spencer Reid was in pain. He felt himself being drawn back to consciousness, a world full of pain, a world that he did not want to face. But it was inevitable. When he slowly opened his eyes the first thing he saw was JJ leaning over him. He took a moment for his vision to clear, yes it was JJ. She was perched on the edge of the bed, and was wiping hair out of his face.

"Spence?" JJ asked hopefully, she was glad he was waking up, she dint want to be alone.

"JJ" Spencer replied, his voice weak. "What's going on?"

"He unchained me and gave me some medical supplies so I could clean you up"

Spencer looked down, sure enough there was white gauze covering the cuts on his chest. He tried to check the burns on his arms but to his disappointment found that they were still handcuffed above his head. Noticing his distraction JJ said "I tried to get them off but i couldn't." Shame for her own weakness enveloped JJ. Picking up on her mood change Spencer comforted her.

"This isn't your fault, none of this is." JJ looked at him gratefully but didn't reply.

"My leg..." Reid asked questioningly, he was finding i difficult to ignore the pain radiating from the limb.

"Its broken" JJ said, yet again full of guilt. "He only gave me some gauze and antiseptic cream, nothing to help with your leg" JJ added softly, she felt awful. Awful that Spencer was in so much pain but she couldn't make it better. Reid just nodded in reply.

"Can you get out?" Reid asked, nodding towards the door.

"No, i tried but its locked" JJ replied, she felt to helpless it was almost suffocating.

After a couple of seconds of silence JJ couldn't hold it in any longer and started to cry. Spencer felt helpless, he wanted desperately to wipe the tears of her face and pull her into a hug but he couldn't. He just hoped that his words could sooth her.

"Shhhh its okay, we're going to be okay. The tem will find us, we'll be fine" he said gently. J allowed herself to be reassured, she laid down next to Reid on the bed, curling into him, careful not to disturb any of his wounds. JJ let his calming words surround her, eventually falling into a restless sleep.

"There must be something! Why cant we find this bastard?" Morgan shouted, breaking the tense silence that had enveloped the team.

"Morgan" Hotch warned.

"No Hotch, we've got nothing! This sonofabitch could be hurting them right now and we're just sat on our asses!"

"What do you suggest we do?" Rossi asked reasonably.

"We find them!" Morgan replied tersely

"We're doing all we can Morgan. Take a brake and cool off" Hotch responded, his voice calm but laced with authority so that Morgan didn't are argue. Swearing under his breath Morgan stormed out of the room and headed for the gym, needing an outlet for his frustration.

"He's right though" Emily said quietly "We need to find them soon, before he hurts them too badly." Emily fought to keep her composure, but she couldn't keep from looking at the mutilated bodies of Winter's previous victims, wondering what kind of hell Reid and JJ were suffering. Wondering even if the team found them alive, would there be any coming back from this?
