A/N: Hi! So, here is the new chapter. This is not one of my greatest work, but at least is an update. I wrote this chapter a couple of weeks ago, but I didn't like it. Spent a lot of time thinking how to change it, but nothing came to my mind. To the people who review, favorites, follow and read my story, thank you. You are awesome. Enjoy reading. :)

No Matter What I'll Love You
Chapter 10 – Finding A Solution
Bay Springs' Police Station
Everyone, except Emily, was in the room. They were all still in shock. They couldn't believe that doing a simple routine visit can be dangerous. Well, in today's life everything is dangerous, but you assume that you can get hurt while arresting some psycho, not when you go to talk to the victim's parents.
It had been ten minutes since Emily rushed out of the room. Derek decided to check on her, make sure that she is okay. Okay? She is definitely not okay. He waited for her outside the women's bathroom. When Emily came out her eyes were red and puffy, clearly from crying.
"Hey Em, wait up." He said. She stopped and looked at him. "Come here."
When she came closer he wrapped his hands around her and gave her a big hug. This is a hug not from your colleague, but from your brother, who sincerely loves you.
"I know that you're worried about JJ, but Emily, now you have to think and about the baby. I just wanted to tell you that I'm here for you and you know that we'll never stop until we get our girl back." Derek said.
"Thank you, but… you know what he is going to do to her and I… I just can't stop seeing that in my head and… I just want her back, I need her." Emily started to cry again, but this time Derek was there to hold her.
He squeezed her tighter when she buried her face in his shoulder. They stayed like that for a couple of more minutes and then Emily slowly withdrew from him.
"Come on, let's do our magic." Derek broke the silence.
"Hey, that's Garcia's line." Emily said.
"Well, it looks like that I spend a lot of time around her." He replied which caused Emily to smile. A tiny smile, but it was there.
Together they walked back into the room in which was the team. They were having a live feed with Garcia. Immediately their eyes fall on Emily. In them you can see the concern not only towards their missing friend, but and towards the pregnant woman.
"I'm fine, promise. Let's just fine Jen." Emily reassured them.
"Good. When you were gone I asked Garcia to see if, by any chance, JJ's phone was active again, but of course that it wasn't." Hotch explained.
"If her telephone is active again, I'll trace it, no matter how long is active." Penelope said with confidence.
"The unsub pretty quickly found his new victim. Usually he kidnaps his next victim two days after he kills the other." Rossi remarked.
"Maybe he saw her somewhere. JJ fits the profile, but where he saw her. Is there any possibility that she knows the unsub?" Reid suggested.
"I don't think so. Emily, when you talked to JJ, did she tell you where was she or was she near Davis' house? We can narrow down the geographical profile." Hotch asked.
"Oh, God! She was at the gas station. He must have seen her there and kidnapped her. But why would he think that JJ has cheated on someone?" Prentiss pointed out.
"I talked to JJ, too. We were joking around, and maybe the unsub was listening and when she talked with you, he decided that she is cheating on you." Derek claimed.
"Garcia, can you check how many gas stations are near Davis' home?" Rossi asked.
"Give me a minute." Penelope started to do her magic. "Only one. The owner is Patrick Murray, 56. He owns three gas stations here and in the next town." She sent them the information she found.
"He doesn't fit the profile. Can you check up the gas station attendants?" Reid asked.
"Yes. Um… there is only one attendant in Bay Springs. His name is Billy Sawyer, 31. He has been working at this gas station for over five years. He was engaged, but recently they broke off their engagement. He has a house in the town. That's all I can tell you about him." Garcia informed them.
"It has to be him, Hotch." Emily said. She was sure that he is their unsub. She could feel it.
"Does he have any relatives who own a cabin in the woods?" Hotch asked.
"Yeah. The cabin is on the name of his father." Penelope answered.
"Garcia, send us the coordinates of the cabin. Let's go." Hotch commanded.
Emily was the first one to stand up, but Hotch stop her.
"Emily, I think that it is best for you to stay here." He suggested.
"Hotch, this is my wife who is out there. You can't stop me for coming." Prentiss firmly said.
Hotch studied the pregnant woman in front of him and he knew that he doesn't have a choice, but to agree.
"Okay, but you're going to stay out of any action in the field. You'll wait outside next to the car." He made himself clear.
"Please, let them find my girl." Garcia prayed.
"Of course, Baby Girl. We'll bring her to you safe and sound." Derek promised her.
Billy Sawyer's Cabin
Hours. JJ's ordeal continued for hours. At least she felt it like that. Hours spent in hell. She prayed for someone to save her, but no one has come up, yet. She just wants to go home and be with her wife. Wife. Emily. She never stopped thinking about her. Most of her thoughts were telling her that Emily would never love her again. That she would hate her and would never allow her to see her unborn child. Deep down she knew that Emily is not that kind of person. But right know the dark thoughts have won.
JJ was lost in her thoughts when suddenly she heard a noise coming from the outside. She heard the sirens and the squeal of the car tires. She hoped that this is her team, coming to save her. She wanted to scream for help, but couldn't find her voice. She just has to wait.
Suddenly the door opened and Billy came. He was holding a gun.
Outside the Cabin
"Okay, Derek, Reid, you go behind. Rossi and I will take the front. Emily, stay here." Hotch gave them his orders.
The team carefully made their way to the cabin and got in position, ready to invade when the command was given.
Emily waited for a while, but no one has gotten back. She couldn't just sit outside and do nothing any longer. She had to save her wife. She put up her vest and checked her weapon.
Slowly she started making her way to the cabin, when she saw the outdoor basement. Emily decided to check it out. Quietly and carefully she entered it. There was a small corridor which led to a door. She got in position and opened the door.
"Oh, God! JENNIFER!"
AN: Right now I'm on summer break, so I'll concentrate on this story. I have already started working on the next chapter. The reviews help me to get motivated and update soon. So, you're free to leave me one. :)
