The inspector general himself entered the interrogation room where Hotch was being held.

"I need to let my son know I'm okay."

"He's with Agent Jareau." The inspector general said as he laid a laptop on the table.

"You haven't even asked why you're here," He laid paper files down now.

"It doesn't matter. It's either a mistake or I'm being framed." Hotch told him, firmly.

The inspector general worked on the laptop for a moment,

"This came in today at 7:23 A.M." he hit the space bar and the 911 call that sent S.W.A.T. into Hotch's house began to play.

Operator: "911. What's your emergency?"

No-one seemed to answer on the line.

Operator: "911? Hello?"

Hotch heard his own voice on the line next,

Hotch's voice: "Today will change everything."

Operator: I'm sorry sir, will you repeat that please?

Hotch's voice: Today will change everything.

The call ended, he left the recording up but paused so it didn't play anything else.

"What does that mean?" the inspector general softly demanded.

"I don't know because I didn't make that call," Hotch replied, trying not to become agitated.

"The call was traced to your cell phone, and voice recognition says it's you." The inspector general countered.

Garcia found the 911 call and the BAU had just finished listening to it except Rossi. Rossi was on his way back from seeing Hotch being taken away.

The team looked confused, Prentiss decided to speak up, "How did they do that?"

Garcia sighed, "spoofing tech makes it seems like it's coming from Hotch's cell and using his voice, that takes skill."

Reid noted something, "It's subtle but his inflection changes like the words are spliced together."

"Right." Natalie noted, "They are. Can you look up all the BAU press conferences led by Hotch?"

Garcia gave Natalie a sympathetic look, "Of course I can but now doesn't seem like the best time to joke about how good I am at this. I'll find it. Maybe the unsub Frankensteined his voice."

Garcia began typing.

Rossi entered the conference room, finally back. "He's being held by the D.O.J., the inspector general's office."

"That makes sense," Prentiss noted. The team needed a nudge to wrap their head around that one.

Morgan answered for her, "It's the internal affairs of the parent agency of the bureau."

"They probably heard what we heard," Natalie interjected.

"Yeah, but they should be defending him, not charging him." J.J. pushed.

The team all looked at Rossi, that was true so whoever did this, did it really well.

Hotch had been trying to reason with the inspector general, he finally decided to lay it out for him,

"Whoever is doing this wants me here instead of investigating. They want my team distracted. There's a bigger plan here."

The man ignored his effort,

"Do you have a storage unit in Reston, Virginia?" He had a file open, he could have been looking at anything, its a tactic the B.A.U. invented.

"My wife and I had one. It's been cleared out for years." Hotch replied.

"Why did you rent a van last week?" The inspector general asked.

"I didn't." Hotch looked at him, maintaining his cool demeanor.

"You ever purchase nitromethane diesel fuel, blasting caps, or ball bearings?" He asked the agent.

Hotch tilted his head back, sitting up straighter than before, knowing what he was getting at, "No." It took a lot for him not to scoff at the question.

"You sure about that?"

"Yes," Hotch answered firmly.

The inspector general laid out his driver's license, receipts, and another document reiterating Hotch had purchased those items.

Hotch looked at them closely, they were legitimate but he didn't do that. Hotch then had another thought,

"My door was kicked in 2 1/2 hours ago, how long have you had this?"

"We've been watching you, for weeks." He replied.

The team had found exactly which press conferences the unsub used to splice together the 911 call.

They now had a way to prove to the inspector generals office the 911 call had been spliced together but the team knew they needed more.

The inspector general's office wouldn't listen to anything the BAU said without a viable subject in place of Hotch.

The team now knew explosives were in play which is what made them realize the inspector general wouldn't listen without that. Explosives make everyone on edge, especially branches of government.

"Back to basics. Someone's framing Hotch. Who would want to?" Rossi told the team.

"He has put a lot of people away," Morgan replied.

"We've seen the lengths Chaz Montolo went to against Morgan." Reid pointed to his friend. "We can't underestimate anything." He told the team.

J.J. looked across the BAU at her boys and Jack, it made her feel sick.

She shook her head, "Montolo couldn't pull this off - not alone. This is Multi-faceted, calculated for maximum disruption. Attacking Hotch in his home, separating him from us."

Prentiss spoke this time, "We should focus on unsubs who are sophisticated enough to carry off this coordinated of an attack. Garcia, any luck with the cell spoofing technology?"

Garcia nodded, looking down at her laptop, "Okay. There are a few of them. If you were gonna go down and dirty, you'd use shadow cell. There are higher-end apps - spoof me, the storm, gamer call -"

Natalie interrupted Garcia, "Wait, the storm. Isn't that what Antonia (a prisoner who attempted to play the BAU on a case just a few weeks prior) said to Hotch?"

J.J. nodded.

Reid's eyes widened as he remembered exactly what Antonia said, "There's a storm coming and you'll be swept away."

"I don't know about you guys but this feels like a massive storm," J.J. told them.

Rossi replied next, "Can't be a coincidence."

"Yeah, but she couldn't have pulled this off from inside a prison." Prentiss countered.

Reid countered too, "But she knew about it enough to toy with Hotch."

"I'm really sick of seeing her smirk every time we pay a visit," Prentiss told them.

"Me too. She pulled strings the moment we met her. She clearly wanted our attention." Morgan replied.

"But why?" J.J. asked.

"Narcissism?" Natalie offered.

"Right. But we each spent time with her, a lot of it. She didn't give that message to just any of us. She gave that message to Hotch." J.J. said.

Reid looked down thoughtfully, "It was a retort. After Hotch exposed her past."

"and her son," J.J. spoke softly.

The agents all looked wide-eyed, understanding what was going on. Whatever the storm was, it was big and it had to do with Antonia's son. The team decided J.J. was the best person to question her since she had witnessed everything that morning.
