Do As I Say

AN/ We don't own Criminal Minds.

Chapter 21

A month later, after Dave practically was living with JJ, they finally had a first kiss. Technically, the first kiss they attempted made JJ a little panicky. He leaned in at what he thought was her ok. But with him leaning in, it felt like he was on top of her. And it scared her. But they talked about it and got past it.

So when they tried it again, he let her make the moves. And they both enjoyed it. At that point their relationship went from best friends to an official couple. Holding hands, kissing and holding each other. But JJ had asked Dave to keep her rape between them. And he figured it was no one else's business. He notices the changes in her self confidence and her frame of mind. She would never be the same JJ as before, but she was an even better Jen. She was more attuned to everyone's feeling.

At the office, the team watched the cute couple. Everything seemed back to normal. And they had a case in New York. A case where a few doctors were disappearing and the team had been called in. And they head to New York. On the plan ride, JJ and Dave sit together and nap a little. The team watches as they are in slumber, holding each other.

"You know, I really think that those two are closer now then before the FRANK incident." Derek says, smiling over at the two lover birds.

" I think that they are closer and I think it's in a different way. I have noticed that Dave is so soft and gentle around her. He never raises his voice in front of her." Emily says, in awe.

"Are you, Emily Prentiss, jealous of what they have? Don't you like what we have anymore?" Hotch asks, hurt by her comments.

"No honey. I just think it's sweet how Dave Rossi can love JJ so much that he turns from a grisly bear to a teddy bear. I know babe, that you are always like that. But it's just so romantic. She went through hell and he's her heaven." Emily says, almost in tears.

"Ok, this is too mushy for me. Can't we leave the loved birds alone and talk about the leads on the case?" Reid asks.

"Ok, ok. Let's talk about the case. Now there are three doctors missing. When was the first one abducted?" Jason asks.

"He was reportedly taken four days ago. The second one was taken three days ago. And the third was taken, yes two days ago. They're afraid another one might be taken any time. Or one hasn't been reported yet." Reid says, reading from the file.

"But no bodies have shown up yet? No ransom demands? No calls?" Jason asks, confused.

"No. Not a one." Morgan says then Garcia pops up on the laptop in front of them.

"Hey my trusted crime fighters. We have a body found. The detective tried to call JJ, but got no answer. The body was dismembered. They actually only found parts of the body. They're holding the crime scene for you." Garcia says.

"Thanks baby girl. I'll have JJ call you when we get there. She and Rossi are napping. Her phone's probably in her pocket. Talk to later baby girl." Morgan says and disconnects the call.

"Ok, now we have murder. We have to work faster. I'm afraid we're going to have to wake the love birds." Hotch says, in is get down to business voice.

Once they land in New York, one SUV takes off for the crime scene and the other heads to the police station. Rossi, Gideon, Morgan and Emily got to the crime scene and JJ, Hotch and Reid head to the station. Hotch wanted Reid to get a geographical profile and JJ to start getting the lines of communication open with the LEOS.

"Is it me, or does this feel familiar?" JJ says, as she helps set up their make shift conference room.

"How so?" Reid asks, curious.

"I don't really know. It just seems like this has happened in another case. Let me go check something." JJ walks out into the bullpen of the station and pulls a file from their boxes. She comes back in and compares MO's. Kidnapping. Then the dismemberment of one. It was different location, but is was so familiar. "Reid, who dismembered his victims? Maybe my mind is on a one track, but doesn't this have the similarities of Frank. Get on that computer and check his status. Make sure it's real. Call the freaking prison if you have to! Oh god! Not again!" JJ grabs her phone frantically. She dials Rossi first.

"Dave!" JJ says panicky.

"What is it baby? What's wrong?" Dave's scared out of his mind.

"Dave, I think Frank has escaped and is our unsub! Reid's checking the computer. I told him to call the prison if need be. Dave, I don't like this!" JJ shaking so bad she almost dropped the phone. Reid comes over to JJ.

"JJ, we have a problem. He escaped and we missed the call. He's been out since the first doctor was taken." Reid calmly says.

"Dave, did you hear that?" JJ says hoarsely.

"Yeah baby. I'm coming back in. The others can do this crime scene. You stay with Reid and Hotch. I'll tell the other." Dave hangs up and walks over to the team. "Guys, we might have a problem. Frank might be our unsub. He escaped the same day the first doc went missing. I'm heading back to the station. JJ's freaking out. Emily, do you want to come with me?" Rossi asks, not sure if Emily would be as effected by this as JJ.

"I think I will. I don't want Hotch to be worried about me." Emily tries to cover the fear and panic she feels.

"No problem. We'll finish this and head in soon. Thanks for the heads up Rossi." Jason says as he looks at the body and then looks over the land surrounding the scene. He was beginning to believe that this sick bastard would never leave him alone. Death row was not going to stop him. So he figured he was going to have to do the job himself.

THE END....or is it?
