A/N: Soooo sorry about taking this long, I hope it won't happen again!

Chapter 21

Just a few hours later the team reconvened at the police station. Reid was enjoying a large mug of coffee with a tremendous amount of sugar, while JJ held a large cup of steaming hot tea. "So what do we know so far?" She asked, looking around the room at her colleagues.

"Besides the fact we're dealing with a sick and twisted mind?" Morgan asked as he took a sip of coffee.

"Don't we always," Rossi replied before taking a deep breath to share his thoughts. "We first thought we were dealing with a couple of a male and a female, but after our talk with the ME," he nodded towards Morgan before continuing, "we are convinced we're dealing with a woman on her own. All victims have an injection mark on the back of their neck."

Hotch nodded, "By sedating them they wouldn't try to fight back," he agreed.

"But then how does she get them to where she wants them, I mean, these men aren't extremely large, but still too heavy to lift or pull for a woman of average size," JJ commented as she looked at Blake for confirmation.

The other woman nodded, "We have training and I doubt we would be able to lift these men into a car."

"You could always try, I'll volunteer," Morgan teased and gave the women a wink.

Blake let out a low chuckle, "Not a chance, you're heavier than our victims, no offense," she said and shook her head.

Morgan laughed, "You're right, they're closer to Reid's weight."

"What?" Reid replied, having missed the discussion that was going on.

"Hey JJ, try to lift Reid out of his chair," Morgan said and nudged her.

Hotch cleared his throat the moment JJ and Reid both felt the blood rush to their cheeks, coloring the skin slightly red, something that didn't go unnoticed by Blake. "Guys, back to the profile… please," their boss said.

Rossi nodded, an amused smile on his face, "Okay, so possibly a woman alone targeting men with brown hair and blue eyes," he said. "The men are all between twenty-five and thirty-five."

"Which means our UnSub is probably between twenty and thirty," JJ nodded, "Something must have happened to her for her to be targeting these men, someone hurt her and the victims resemble that guy."

"I uhm… I'd say she was raped," Reid said, frowning slightly. "She is trying to let these men feel what she felt when that happened to her."

"Could very well be, but how do we catch her?" Hotch said and looked around at his team.

Morgan nodded and took another sip of coffee, "Well, never underestimate the power of Garcia," he said, "but we don't have very much to go on."

Hotch pinched the bridge of his nose, "Well we need something fast, we wouldn't want another victim on our hands."

"Uhm… actually another victim would be helpful for a geographical profile…" Reid started but quickly shook his head, "No that came out wrong, we wouldn't want another victim…" He blushed.

Their boss frowned at their youngest team member, "Alright, Reid work out the geographical profile, JJ and Morgan, visit family of victim number two, Rossi, you can help out Garcia while Blake and I talk to the third victim's family. Back in two hours."

"Will I am so sorry, this is going to be a long case, are you sure you can stay with Henry? I could always ask my mom…" JJ said as she sat on the edge of the hotel bed.

"It's fine cher, I love spending time with our little bud, don't worry about it," Will replied as he ran a hand over his face, looking sideways at his girlfriend. He had brought her with him for the first time so she could meet Henry. Now that he was talking to JJ he felt slightly guilty at not having conferred this with her beforehand. "There's uhm… something I need to confess to you," he started.

JJ frowned, "What is it Will, something with Henry?"

"Well technically no…" Will started, standing up and pacing around the living room. "I brought Emma with me to meet Henry," he said, saying it quickly like a band-aid.

JJ's eyes widened as she clasped a hand over her mouth so she wouldn't say the words that were clouding together in her mind at the moment. "You what?!" She hissed, "I can't believe you, why would you do that this soon? He is just getting used to not having you around anymore!"

Will pinched the bridge of his nose, "It's not like I'm doing anything different here, Henry told me he was going to ask his uncle Spencer to be his new daddy," he shot right back at her, putting emphasis on the 'uncle'.

"Will that's not fair and you know it. Spence and I have been helping each other out and Henry… interpreted it his way. If that's how he wants to deal with it that's fine, but I'm not introducing a new romantic relationship here," she defended.

"Aren't you?" Will replied matter-of-factly, walking out of the room for a moment, leaving Emma behind on the couch. "Look, this is clearly not the right moment to discuss this, let's uhm… let's talk when you get back," he said.

JJ let out a deep sigh, nodding a little bit with the phone to her ear, "Fine, fine we'll talk," she said and said her goodbyes. She ran a hand over her face, anger still floating through her veins as she thought about what Will was doing to Henry, putting him through something this confusing. Henry was a smart kid, but this would be hard on him.

After sitting on the bed for a few minutes, staring ahead she decided to go downstairs to the hotel lobby for a small drink, hoping that would help her sleep. She grabbed her purse and headed down the hallway, almost bumping into Reid on the way to the elevator. "Spence? What are you doing here?"

Reid turned, surprised to see her, "I uhm… couldn't focus on my reading, figured I'd walk around a bit," he said, frowning slightly as he looked at her face. He could sense something was going on, but wasn't sure if he should probe. "Are you okay?" He asked, settling on a safe question.

JJ shook her head, knowing she could talk to him about this and that he would help her in any way he could. "I had a chat with Will to tell him it was going to be a longer case. He uhm… he told me he introduced his new girlfriend to Henry."

"This soon, JJ that's… Henry is going to be so confused," Reid replied, utterly shocked at the carelessness of William LaMontagne. "If you want to go home and be with Henry I'm sure Hotch would understand."

"It'll be fine Spence, Henry's a smart kid. Besides, what's done is done. I'll talk to him as soon as we get back and after that I'm going to give Will a piece of my mind," she said, clenching her teeth for a moment as she tried to get her anger under control. "He said I was doing the same thing, Henry told him that he was going to ask you to be his new daddy."

"I uhm… he might have a very small point," Reid replied, but quickly kept silent at JJ's glare.

JJ turned to look at Reid as they reached the hotel lobby. "Can I come with you on your walk?" She asked, suddenly not feeling like sitting alone at the hotel bar anymore, despite her earlier thoughts.

Reid furrowed his brows, blushing slightly, "Sure, it's nothing fancy though, I'm afraid I can't tell you much about the sights," he rambled.

"Don't worry about that," JJ smiled as she walked through the door Reid held open for her.

For a few minutes they walked quietly until they reached a small and well lit park. "Do you want to sit down for a moment?" Reid asked, pointing towards the bench near the edge of the park.

JJ nodded and set down next to him, letting out a small sigh. "Do you think Henry will be okay?" She whispered; her voice wavering a bit as she felt another surge of guilt hit her. "What if he is going to view that… woman," she decided on instead of using a harsher word, "what if he feels she's a mommy to him. A mommy who's home more than his own mother?"

Reid wasn't quite sure how to console her, but slowly wrapped an arm around her, "Don't go down that road of destructive thoughts JJ. You are his mother and he's never going to trade you for another woman, no matter how much time he spends with her," he said.

JJ leaned into Reid's side and nodded, "I know, you're probably right," she said.

"I'm always right," Reid teased and grinned widely at her. His gaze turned more serious as their eyes locked.

JJ looked deeply into his eyes and smirked, "What if I told you you were going to kiss me, would I be right then?"

Reid blushed a deep red and nodded, "Most definitely," he whispered as he closed the small distance between them, capturing her lips with his own. He felt his heartbeat quicken as she wrapped his arms around her.

JJ closed her eyes and tilted her head to allow him easier access, opening her mouth as his tongue ran along her lower lip. She let out a small encouraging moan as her hand found the side of his face. All thoughts about granting him time to get everything together flew right out the window at this moment. She realized now that he was the one she wanted and she wanted him now.

With his arms still around her Reid pulled back slowly, his eyes remaining closed for just a short moment before he opened them to look at her. "Wow…" he whispered, a little short of breath. He blushed at the feelings running through him. "I uhm… That was… I guess I…," He kept continuing to start sentences, not sure what to say.

"Just… shut up," JJ grinned as she captured his lips with her in another passionate kiss.
