Molly watched as the BAU found the final body and the "final" note. She really did hate having all those innocent people die but she needed the BAU to take the case. She had been studying them for awhile and knew that after a case they went straight to their headquarters to finish the paperwork that couldn't wait till morning.

As the team read the note,Molly smiled. She knew the words would confuse the team of profilers but also knew everything would make sense when they got back. She sent a quick text to James,telling him to take his position and with that Molly walked away.


"I don't get it,why would she say our timing is perfect?" Reid grumbled as the team filed off the jet.

"I don't know,and why did Strauss call us off?Hotch,she had to have said something to you,"Morgan said as he followed Reid.

"I don't know,all she said was that she needed us back now. I hate that we couldn't get whoever this was,I mean it seemed to simple. What the hell is going on?" Hotch replied.

"Whatever it is,I hope it doesn't take long. I texted Parker and told her we would be back within the next half hour and all she said was 'okay.' JJ chimed in as she closed the door to the jet behind her.


Parker had just gotten the text from JJ and replied when she figured now was a good time to start her new journal. It was something she felt compelled to do. She wanted her life chronicled just in case. Her first journal was about the time leading up to her mom's death,the second one was full of entries that took place during her two year no parent around,and her third one was by far the smallest with only a few entries that she had written since she had been picked up by JJ.

Parker started writing about the previous day and the weird feeling she had been feeling:
It's crazy but I feel as if someone has been watching me. I thought at first I was imagining it but now I think there really is. I have seen him around so many times that it can't be a coincidence. I'm probably being paranoid but I don't know. Whatever,it's stupid. I'm stupid. I should just apologize to JJ for freaking out on her,I didn't mean to but it's just hard,you know? Someone once said that we hurt the ones we love the most and it's weird but I do love JJ. She is like the older sister I never had. In fact,I find myself feeling connected to everyone on the team. I shouldn't have been so rude to JJ and Emily last night but I was so embarrassed I mean who get's nightmares at my age? Probably no one...

Parker paused when she heard a creaking noise. She looked at the clock and saw only 10 minutes had passed,it was too soon for them to be back yet. She listened again but didn't hear anything. Parker took a deep breath and continued writing:
I feel like such a little kid. I know I should be tougher then this but I'm not. I mean after everything my mom did to me,it's crazy I know,but I feel like I still need her. I need her to hug me and tell me everything will be okay like it used to before she started drinking and taking her anger out on me.
I heard it again,that sound. I need to stop being so freaked out. This is one of the safest if not the safest community around. Hotch told me no one can get in without a passcode or the guard letting them in and even then they have to be on an approved guest list...but,I heard it again. Someone is in the house. I can't find my cell phone. I'm scared. Writing calms me down so I'll keep writing,I need to keep busy. But,I heard it again. It sounds like


"Agent Hotchner, I suggest you read this right away. I have no clue what it means but you might," Erin Strauss said as she handed Hotch a slip of paper.

"You're timing on the case was perfect,thanks to me. But also thanks to me,the thing you all treasure is missing. Tick-tock agents,time is running out Love M.A and J.A" Hotch read out loud.

"She's not answering,oh my gawd she has Parker,"JJ panicked.

"We don't know that for sure,Morgan and Reid go to the house. Call us if you find anything,Garcia I want you to run the initials MA and JA. Emily go help Garcia. JJ,if Parker is missing I need you to start going through everything that you can about Parker," Hotch finished handing out orders then went to go help Garcia and Emily.

Hotch had walked ten steps before Garcia came running out yelling, "Everyone in here now,I have a link and you need to see this."

Hotch and JJ ran up the stairs and into Garcia's tech room. On the screen Garcia moved the the arrow and clicked the link. When the video popped up the team gasped. There on the screen, tied to a chair was a very bruised and a very scared Parker.
