Hello again, as always all rights to the characters and t.v show belong to their rightful owners. Slightly longer chapter today since I couldn't find a good place to cut it. Enjoy!

Not even 72 hours after the horror she encountered at her mother's funeral Quinn found herself in the BAU headquarters once again. After an extremely short tour from JJ she was unceremoniously deposited in Garcia's "lair" so the team could continue profiling the Miller from the most recent developments.

'What does the bombing mean? Bombers have a completely different profile to Miller. Why change his method now?' Blake wondered aloud.

'Maybe he thought it would be the easiest way to get to Quinn. Cause a distraction with the dead cops and then as we rush her to the SUV's you can take her out plus FBI agents as a bonus.' JJ responded.

'What if he has a partner?' Reid proposed. 'Think about it. How could one person kill both the police officers before either one got a shot off or radioed for help and plant a bomb under our SUV which was on the other side of the cemetery. We never found Miller on any of the hospital CCTV footage which suggests he wasn't there yet the flowers were hand delivered.'

'Morgan. We need Quinn to do a cognitive now.' Hotch ordered. 'Look into any possible partners.' He called to the team as he began to walk to Garcia's lair. Morgan rushed to catch him.

'Hotch I get it but she's traumatized from the funeral. Do you really think you can get anything out of her?'

'Morgan we have delayed this long enough. Since she is only 17 I will allow you to be in the room during the interview but only as her guardian. I can see clearly that your connection to Quinn has disrupted your objectiveness. Question me again and I will remove you from this case.'

Morgan reluctantly followed Hotch into the office and leaned in the doorway as Hotch entered ahead of him. Quinn looked up as the two men entered. Knowing something was wrong when Derek hesitated in the entry.

'Quinn we need you to do a cognitive interview.' Hotch spoke softly.

'Didn't I do that before?'

'You've done interviews before but this one is a little different. It's about encouraging your subconscious mind to send details that your conscious mind has forgotten to the surface. When you are threatened the adrenaline in your system can cause memory loss to the conscious mind but the subconscious can remember details that you don't know you remember. At this point it is important to recover those details.'

'Because you don't have any new leads?' Derek almost smiled as Quinn questioned Hotch.

'We are looking into several leads but you could really help us.'

'Okay fine.'

'Okay. Since you are still a minor Agent Morgan will be present as your guardian but you need to choose someone else to perform the interview.'

Quinn considered for a moment before choosing 'Rossi.' She replied softly.

A few minutes later Quinn found herself sitting on the lounge in Rossi's office with Rossi in front of her while Derek was watching but maintaining his distance by sitting in the remaining chair in front of Rossi's desk. Her entire body was tense. She had been avoiding this interview because she did not want to reveal the abuse she had suffered to the team, especially Derek. They knew in the abstract but Quinn was terrified to reveal the details, she didn't want to the team to only see her as a victim.

'Quinn I need you to relax, close your eyes. You are completely safe here. Just think back to the last thing you remember before you were taken. You were at school, with Charlotte, in the parking lot after training. What happened next?'

'I heard a van pull up next to us. He's driving it. He gets out and pulls a gun on us. I tried to tell Charlotte to run but she was too scared. She gets into the back of the van. I think he hit me with the gun I don't remember getting in, just waking up in the van. He tied our wrists and there's tape over our mouths. I was so scared I had no idea what he was going to do. I thought he would kill us.' Quinn's voice broke with strangled tears and Derek was fighting himself not to rush to her side, but the profiler inside him knew Rossi was getting close to an answer.

Rossi placed a hand on Quinn's knee, comforting her. 'Slow down okay, you're in a safe place. He can't hurt you anymore. Go forward. You're in the factory. What can you see?'

It was dark, the hollowed out room filled with the echoing sound of Charlotte's cries and water dripping down from the roof to the damp floor. It was too dark for Quinn to see anything but she could hear the sounds of heavy footsteps coming closer from the hallway. Miller enters the room and immediately grabs Charlotte, pulling her away from Quinn and to the other side of the room, without a word he rips off her pants and forces himself on top of her. Charlotte's screaming grew louder, enveloping Quinn who was forced to watch the horror in front of her. After what seems like forever Miller rises from Charlotte and roughly takes hold of Quinn's ankles. She screams as loud as she can as she is dragged into the next room through a heavy metal door.

The tension in Morgan's body increased as both men in the room realised what was coming next in her recollection. Rossi interrupted Quinn, trying to move her focus to the details he needed. 'Quinn can you hear anything?'

'No it's too quiet. Wait. I can see something, the door he dragged me through. It opened after we left.'

Miller tosses Quinn into the corner of the room, her head colliding with the wall. As her vision blurred she could just make out her tormentor unzipping and pulling down his pants, menacingly heading towards her. Once again she begins screaming, now beginning to cry and choke on her sobs. She cried out for anyone to help her still knowing no one would come.

Quinn began to scratch at her wrists viciously, trying to remove imaginary bindings. Derek watched Rossi, ready to pull her out of the interview if needed but he knew he had to trust that the senior agent would not sacrifice Quinn's wellbeing to get answers. As if reading his thoughts Rossi held a hand up towards Derek, telling him to hold on.

'Quinn, Quinn relax. You're safe now. You're at the BAU. It's over, move forward okay. When it ends what does he do?'

'He drags me back to Charlotte and ties us together, then he leaves. Charlotte is crying.'

'Okay, try and block out Charlotte. Can you hear anything outside?'

'He's talking to someone. He's asking if the package is ready.'

'Does anyone respond?'

'I can hear someone talking, a woman I think. I can't hear what she's saying.' Quinn opens her eyes and quickly jolts back, surprising both the agents in the room. 'I'm sorry I can't do this.'

'Quinn please, you saw something didn't you? We need to know.' Rossi asks gently but also firmly.

She rushes out the door before Derek or Rossi could stop her, actually running head first into JJ who dropped the large bundle of files she was holding as Quinn headed towards the bathrooms. Hotch had heard the commotion and came out of his office to see Quinn slip out of the doors of the BAU. The small group of assembled agents looked around as Derek began to head after her but JJ stopped him.

'Let me. It might be a girl thing.'

JJ found Quinn huddled on the ground in the ladies bathroom. Before saying anything she placed the out of order sign outside and sat down next to Quinn.

'You know you really scared Rossi and Derek back there. I don't think I've ever seen Rossi actually chase someone out of his office before.'

'I guess I'm just a box full of firsts.' Quinn said bitterly.

'I take it the interview didn't go well.'

'You all know what he did right. You saw what happened to the other girls. But I never really let it sink in that I was one of them until today. I pretended that you guys didn't know what happened. I remember the way Derek looked at me that day. The look that said I was a victim and it hurt. I don't want to be just another victim. I want to be me, apart from what happened to me and when I was in there, doing that interview I could feel Derek watching me with that look. Everything I was trying not to feel came rushing back. I ran so I wouldn't have to see that look which said I was nothing more than what happened.'

'You know that's not what he thinks.'

'How could you possibly say that?'

'Because I see the way that Derek looks at you as well. He looks at you the same way I look at my son. What happened to you is going to affect you and it will impact your relationship with Derek yes, but your reaction to it is what Derek sees. He sees the strong, smart, courageous girl who isn't defined by one portion of her life. I'm not going to lie to you Quinn we need to know what you saw during the cognitive so we can find the guy that did this to you and put him in prison for the rest of his life. But our whole team is here for you. It might not feel like it now but you can get through this, one day at a time. Derek just wants to protect you, he doesn't want to see you hurt.'

'Thanks JJ.'

'You're welcome honey.'

JJ stood up and held out a hand to Quinn who took it and slowly stood up. JJ then handed her a tissue and tucked her hair behind her ears, wiping the tears away from her cheeks. Quinn chuckled at JJ.

'What?' She questioned.

'Your such a mom JJ.' Quinn smiled before moving out of the bathroom when JJ called after her she paused at the door.

'Quinn just remember it's okay to need somebody once in a while. It doesn't make you weak, it makes you stronger for letting someone in.'

Quinn smiled softly and headed out the door and back into the BAU bullpen, fighting her nerves as everyone turned to look at her. She walked over to Rossi timidly. He turned to meet her glistening eyes with his piercing pair, remaining silent as he waited for Quinn to speak.

'I did hear something.' She paused, aware she had the full attention of everyone in the room. 'His partner was a woman. They were making a bomb just before you arrived, they were planning to use it on his house to stage his death. Then he was going to go to Mexico.'

'Did you recognize the voice?'

'It sounded familiar but I couldn't say.' She turned to Derek. 'Thank you.'

'For what?'

'Everything, and nothing.'

At that moment Garcia ran into the room from her office and everyone could immediately tell something was bothering her, she rushed to Hotch and whispered to him. 'I just found something that you need to see.'
