Chapter 14: Finding JJ (Part 1)

JJ slowly woke up when she felt something under her move. She opened her eyes but something was blocking her view. She suddenly noticed she was tied up. Her hands and legs were tied together and there was a blindfold over her eyes. The sounds she heard told her she was in a car. She started to panic when she realized what was happening. She had no idea where she was or what was going to happen. She didn't even know for how long she was unconscious. The last thing she remembered was going to her apartment to meet Adam. Now she was in a car while not knowing where she was going. She tried to remove her restraints but as she tried to move they were cutting into her skin. JJ felt a stick substance on her head. She knew it had to be the blood of the blow she received on her head. She was relieved to know that they didn't harm her yet. She knew they were going to hurt her in every way possible.

Hotch called Jessica and she picked up Jack. Hotch explained what was going on and Jessica took Jack with her. Hotch needed all of his time to focus on finding JJ. He needed to focus on getting her back. He would to anything to hold her in his arms again. He decided to go to Garcia to see if she found anything yet.

The moment he walked into her office he saw Garcia crying.

''Garcia did you find out how they contacted JJ'' he asked softly while squeezing her shoulder. He knew the entire team was hurt by the situation.

''Uhh. Yeah. JJ was called by a unknown number around 6 am this morning. The call was made from JJ's apartment. I tried to track the number after that but it was a disposable cell phone. I haven't found anything. I also haven't found anything on Adam and Kyle'' she replied.

''Okay. Keep looking Garcia. I want you to print out everything about JJ's life. We need to know everything'' he ordered and he walked away.

When he was back in the bullpen he saw that the rest of the team were still in the conference room. He wasn't ready to go back in there. He walked the staircase and opened the door to his office. He thought about the moments he spend there with JJ. Mostly they talked about cases and whenever they didn't it would be about personal things. He always could talk to her. He stood in the middle of his office and he just looked around. He remembered JJ told him he had accomplished a lot, when she saw his office for the first time. Now he realized all of his accomplishments meant nothing if JJ wasn't in his life. He realized thinking about that was stupid because he also had Jack to think about. He walked over to a chair and he sat down and put his head in his hands. He jumped slightly when he suddenly saw Rossi standing in front of him.

Rossi closed the door behind him and he sat down on the couch across from Hotch. He looked at his friend and he saw confusion.

''How are you holding up?'' Rossi asked carefully.

''I am not. I just can't believe she did this. How could she?'' Hotch asked while looking at the ground.

''She did this to protect us Aaron'' Rossi replied.

''I know. I know that. It doesn't make me feel any better. She told me'' Hotch whispered.

''She told you what?'' Rossi asked surprised.

''Yesterday she told me she had a bad feeling. I didn't listen to her Dave. She said she felt like something was wrong. I should have listened to her'' he replied.

''This isn't your fault Aaron. Adam Parker has something against JJ. We need to figure that out right now. What did Garcia find?''

''A call was made to JJ this morning around 6 am. It was a disposable cell. They called from her apartment. I guess we should go there''

''Yes we should. I'll ask Morgan, Prentiss and Reid to go. You need to stay here. We don't know what we will find. There's no reason for you see any of it'' Rossi said.

Hotch stayed in his office while Rossi walked back to the conference room.

''How is he?'' Emily asked with concern.

''I don't know. He's just trying to deal with everything'' Rossi replied.

''Is there something we can do?'' Reid asked.

''Yes. Penelope traced the call that was made to JJ, back to her own apartment. You guys can check out the apartment. I think you won't find much there. From what we know so far, these guys will take JJ to a place with special meaning to them'' Rossi said.

''Okay. Let's go'' Derek said to Emily and Reid.

Rossi went back to Hotch's office to talk to his friend while the other three went to JJ's apartment to check it out.

Reid, Derek and Emily reached JJ's apartment building. She stepped out of the SUV and they pulled out their guns. They walked through the building and they stopped in front of JJ's apartment. Derek kicked down the door and they cleared the apartment. They all stopped when they saw a bloodstain on the living room floor. They looked at each other and their emotions became worse.

''This doesn't mean she isn't alive'' Derek said quickly, trying to calm them all down.

''I know. From the amount of blood, you can see it was probably a small wound'' Reid explained.

''They probably hit her over the head with something to knock her out long enough to get JJ into a car without a fight. We all know JJ would fight the best she could'' Emily added.

Derek informed Rossi about what they found while Reid and Emily called in crime scene techs to investigate the scene for any evidence.

JJ felt the car stop. She had no idea how long she had been in the car. All she could think about was what they were going to do to her. She suddenly realized she shouldn't be thinking about what was going to happen to her. She had to think about getting back to Hotch. To be in his arms and to never let go again. She cringed when she heard someone opening the trunk. She couldn't see who it was because she was still blindfolded. The person violently threw her out of the trunk onto the ground. JJ breathed out in pain when her collided with the hard ground under her. She was picked up and she was pulled with the person. They stopped for a moment and she heard a door open. After that they walked inside a house and they took a few turns until there were stairs down to the basement. JJ heard someone was walking behind her on the stairs. When they were standing on the floor, JJ was thrown into a wall. She hitched as she felt her sides hit the wall with force. She heard footsteps coming closer to her. Her restraints and blindfold were taken off. She saw Adam at first. When she looked behind him she saw Kyle standing with a smile on his face.

''What do you want with me?'' she asked with a low voice.

Adam grabbed JJ by the throat and he pushed her against the wall. After a few seconds he let go of her and he bent his knees so he could was just above her.

''You killed our father. You killed Chris. You killed everyone we love…'' Adam tried to say but JJ interrupted him, knowing that was probably a big mistake.

''Who's Chris?'' she asked carefully.

Adam gave her a slap across her face.

''You know who he is. You bitch. We are going to give you everything you deserve. Just wait'' Adam said with a lot of anger.

Kyle was still standing behind his brother with a grin.

Adam stood up and dragged JJ over to the corner of the basement. He put her down on a mattress. JJ looked around the room quickly to see if there was any way out. She saw there were no windows and the door on top of the staircase had a lot of locks on it. She realized she was never going to get out of this room.

Adam looked at Kyle and he nodded. Kyle walked over to JJ and he started beating her up.

JJ knew there was going to be a lot more pain. Every time his feet or his hands slammed into her body, she cried out in pain. She tried to get up but her body was already too weak to fight back.

Part of the team came back from JJ's apartment. They saw Hotch, Rossi and Penelope sitting in the conference room. When they walked in they saw that there were boards filled with photo's of JJ and all kinds of things about her life. They all sat down and started talking about their next move.

''We need to find her. They are probably already torturing her'' Derek said without thinking. Hotch looked him in the eyes and he gave him a angry look.

''I am sorry, Hotch'' Derek said.

Hotch knew he was right. He looked away from Derek. He had a photo of JJ in his hands. It was a photo that was taken when they went out to Joel's bar. JJ was a bit drunk and she looked like a crazy person in the photo. That day was printed into his mind. It was when JJ started dating Will. He remembered he was looking at JJ the entire time in the bar. He suddenly said to himself he needed to focus on finding JJ and not on remembering her.

''It's fine Derek'' Hotch replied.

''Okay. I dug into JJ's life and I found nothing out of the ordinary. She was a straight A student. Even after her family died. She has no record'' Penelope explained.

''Is there any family left we might be able to talk to about JJ's past?'' Emily asked.

''She only has an aunt. She moved away from East Allegheny after her JJ's family died. Tina Jareau was her sister. She currently lives in Los-Angeles with her husband. The rest of JJ's family died'' Penelope replied to Emily's question.

''What happened to her grandfather?'' Reid asked.

''He died two years after the attack. It was right about the same time when JJ was leaving for college'' Penelope said.

''That's horrible. The only person who took care of her died to. I can't believe how JJ got through this'' Derek said.

''I know it's absolutely horrifying'' Rossi said to Derek.

''Okay. I think two people should go to LA to question the aunt. The rest has to stay here to dig further into JJ's life. Emily you and I will fly to LA. Garcia I want you to make a list of people that were in JJ's life until the age of sixteen. I know that will take a long time but one of them has to know what happened in JJ's life that got the Parker family so idiotic. Rossi I want you to take point here. We will stay in contact. Oh and Garcia, I want you to get Lynch to help you. He can check traffic cams to see if he can find a the car the brothers are using'' Hotch ordered.

Everyone immediately went to work. Emily and Hotch left for the jet right away. On the plane Hotch called JJ's aunt and he informed her about the situation. She was willing to answer any questions they had about JJ's life as a kid.

Hotch wasn't looking forward to interviewing one of JJ's family members but he knew that they had to. Everything they could find out about JJ's life could help them. It just felt wrong to him to go through someone's entire life.

After Adam and Kyle left JJ alone in the basement, she crawled to the mattress and she lay down on it. Her entire body was shaking from the pain. She knew a lot more was going to happen. She tried to stop thinking about the pain and she started thinking about happy memories of her and Hotch. After a while JJ slowly drifted off into a light sleep.

She was woken up when she heard the door open. She sat up and let herself lean against the cold wall. Both Kyle and Adam came into the basement. JJ didn't look at them. Kyle and Adam walked over to JJ. Kyle leaned down and started talking to her.

''So JJ. Do you have any questions or comments for us?'' Kyle asked while he was making fun of JJ.

JJ looked at the wall behind Kyle and she said absolutely nothing to him. She knew that anything she said could provoke a reaction she didn't want to get.

''Well the silent-treatment. It won't work JJ. In a couple of hours you will be begging for your life. Believe me. It's going to be so much fun'' Kyle said.

JJ couldn't believe Kyle was so stupid. Adam told him all the wrong things and now he was murderer to. JJ couldn't keep her anger in any longer.

''Really Kyle? Are you stupid or something? I killed your father in self defense. Your father and brother killed my parents and they were about to kill me. Adam didn't tell you the whole story'' JJ said. After she finished talking, Adam pulled a knife from his pants and he put it at JJ's throat.

''Stop talking you bitch. You have no right. You deserved everything that happened to you!'' Adam yelled out.

Adam threw the knife behind him and he pulled up JJ and he threw her against the wall. Kyle picked up the knife and walked back to JJ. He made one deep long cut on JJ's arm.

JJ cried out in pain when the knife cut through her skin. She felt her entire body shaken.

''Kyle, take it easy'' Adam screamed at him.

''Why? She deserves it'' Kyle yelled back.

''I know. But she needs to stay alive. We can't torture her is she's dead'' Adam said while laughing at JJ.

''I know something humiliating to do next'' Adam said.

JJ knew exactly what he meant. She didn't want to think about but it was happening already.

Adam tore of JJ's clothes and he climbed on top of her. JJ tried to fight back. Every time she did something she would be kicked or slapped. She screamed out in pain and both Kyle and Adam were laughing. When Adam was done, Kyle climbed on top of JJ and did the same.

After they were both done, they threw a shirt and a pair of shorts to JJ. They left the basement while they were laughing.

JJ crawled into the corner of the basement and the tears started flooding down her face. She couldn't stop them. She knew she did this to herself. She just couldn't stop feeling the pain. It took her eleven years to rebuild her life and a few seconds ago everything came crashing down. She knew she promised Hotch to fight and she was going to try that with every fiber in her being.

Hotch and Emily arrived in LA and they drove straight to JJ's Aunt. They both didn't want to waste any time by going to a hotel first. They pulled up in front of a small home. Hotch and Emily stepped out of the car and they walked towards the door.

During the flight Emily and Hotch barely said a word to each other. They both couldn't stop thinking about JJ. They knew JJ was already hurt. The profile said Kyle and Adam would do anything they could to hurt JJ.

Hotch knocked on the door and a woman in her fifties opened the door. Hotch noticed the woman the woman didn't look like JJ at all. She had brown hair and green eyes.

''Hello Mrs. Cooper. I am SSA Aaron Hotchner and this is SSA Emily Prentiss'' Hotch said while he shook the woman's hand.

''Please call me Teresa. It's nice to meet you. Please come in'' Teresa said. She pointed to the couch where Hotch and Emily could sit down. She already had coffee on the table. She saw down on a chair across from Hotch and Emily.

''It's a pleasure meeting the people JJ adores so much'' Teresa said.

''You were still in contact with JJ?'' Emily asked.

''Yes. We called at least twice a week. She always talked about you guys'' Teresa replied.

Emily felt the tears stinging in her eyes. Hotch noticed that Emily was struggling and he decided to talk.

''Why did you leave East Allegheny?'' Hotch asked.

''I just couldn't stay there. My sister was everything to me. We were close and we spent a lot of time together. When she died I couldn't stay in that town anymore'' Teresa explained.

''What about JJ? Didn't she need you?'' Emily asked surprised, not understanding how someone could leave a sixteen year girl behind after what JJ went through.

''JJ shut me out. She didn't talk to anyone. It's like she disappeared. Two years ago I got a phone call from her and we talked for hours. She sounded like herself again and she was happy. When JJ was sixteen I tried everything to help her'' Teresa replied.

''What did JJ do to shut you out?'' Hotch asked.

''After she heard that Amy killed herself she just closed off. I tried to talk to her but she never looked at me. There wasn't a word that came out of her mouth. She would cringe when somebody came to close to her. JJ didn't deal with her problems back then. She just tried to forget about it'' Teresa said and a couple of tears were on her face.

''I am sorry Teresa. It's just that we need to ask a lot of questions about JJ's past'' Emily explained.

''Why? Did something happen to JJ?'' Teresa asked with concern.

''Yes. This morning JJ was abducted by the man who did this to your family eleven years ago'' Hotch explained. He saw the shock in Teresa's eyes.

''Oh my god. I can't believe. She was just starting to enjoy life again'' Teresa cried out.

''I know. Were doing everything we can. Our entire team is working on it. But we need to ask you some questions'' Emily said.

''Of course. I'll do anything I can to help you find her'' Teresa replied

''The men we are looking for are Adam and Kyle Parker. Have you ever heard of those names?'' Hotch asked.

''No. Never. No. I don't know them'' Teresa replied.

''Okay. Did something bad ever happen with JJ before the incident?'' Emily asked.

''No. JJ never did anything wrong. She was the perfect kid. She got good grades, she had a couple of great friends and she got along with her entire family'' Teresa said.

''Okay. Did something ever happen that would make someone want to hurt JJ?'' Hotch asked.

''No. Wait! Do you actually think all of this was JJ's fault? JJ never did anything to hurt anyone. I can't believe you would think she did something to cause this'' Teresa yelled at Hotch.

''Teresa calm down. That's not what he…'' Emily tried to say.

''…No. JJ never did anything wrong. Like I said she was an amazing girl until her childhood was stolen from her. Don't blame her'' Teresa yelled again.

''Teresa, listen! That's not what I meant. None of this is JJ's fault. Believe me I want to find her just as much as you do. The two men we are looking for hurt JJ because they believe she did something to hurt them. Somehow JJ must have crossed paths with one of them'' Hotch explained calmly.

''We are just here to find out if you know if anything happened that stood out to you'' Emily added.

''No. I don't know anything. If you want to know about JJ, I think it's best if you talk to her best friends from high school. There was one girl that she was closest to. Her name is Stephanie Wright. JJ and Stephanie played soccer together'' Teresa said.

''Okay. Can you give us all the names of the people JJ was close to when she was younger?'' Hotch asked.

''Of course'' Teresa said. She walked to a desk and started writing names on a piece of paper.

In the meantime Emily and Hotch started talking.

''I am so sick of this. We have no idea why they attacked JJ and her parents. These guys have a huge advantage'' Emily said.

''I know. If we know what triggered all of this in the first place, we might be able to figure out where they are keeping JJ'' Hotch replied.

''Hotch, do you think she is still alive?'' Emily asked carefully.

''I think so. They will keep JJ alive as long as they can so they can cause her enough pain. If JJ fights we might find her in time. We just need to interview everybody from JJ's past'' Hotch replied.

''I know'' Emily said softly.

Teresa walked back to the chair and she handed a note with names on it to Hotch. They talked for another hour and after that they left. Teresa made them promise to keep her updated on the situation.

Soon after they left Teresa's house, Hotch contacted Rossi. They didn't find anything suspicious in JJ's life. Hotch got frustrated and mad. He couldn't believe that this was happening. He couldn't think about never seeing JJ again. The woman that made him realize what love could really be like. She showed him passion and strength. He knew he said in her letter that she was strong because of him but he knew she was already strong.
