AN: I am so sorry its short, but I was at the emergency vet all evening with my service dog. Thankfully it was just a double ear infection. My poor guy but he will be okay! I only got one review last chapter so please let me know if I am doing something wrong so I can try and correct it. I really look forward to your reviews.

"Hotch! Hotch, open your eyes!" Hotch groaned as he heard a sharp voice and a rough shake. He knew that voice, he recognized the panic in it and his eyes shot open. Morgan was staring down at him, his eyes full of concern. "Hotch, where is JJ?" Morgan didn't both greeting his supervisor.

"JJ?" Hotch asked, suddenly aware of the pounding headache.

"Yes, JJ. Where is she?"

Hotch closed his eyes, but his brain had a hard time bringing up any information. "She should be with Ross. What happened?" Hotch asked, sitting up and taking in his surroundings.

"Hotch, JJ's gone. You and Ross were found in the wrecked SUV. JJ wasn't there. We searched around the SUV to see if she had been thrown but we couldn't find her." Morgan shook his head, "I need you to think, was JJ in the car with you and Ross?"

Hotch could hear the anxiety in Morgan's voice, "I…" He shook his head and closed his eyes and then bits and pieces suddenly came flooding back in snap shots. "She was, we were taking her to the ER."

"Why? Why did she need the ER, Hotch?" Morgan pressed, desperate to find JJ before things got any worse. Emily and Reid were already on the way to Seattle, ready to join the search. Deep down, Morgan knew exactly what had happened; he knew JJ was already running out of time.

"She was seizing," And as he spoke, Hotch found that the memory was coming back in more clarity. "She said she wasn't feeling well, Ross wanted to start an IV for pain medicine and she began fighting him. She started seizing and Ross kept giving her medicine but it wasn't helping. We were driving to the ER and that's all I can remember." Hotch shook his head, then reached over to the IV in his own arm; without hesitation, he ripped it out and sat up.

"Woah man," Morgan blocked Hotch from standing up. "We have to wait for the doctor.."

"Then get Ross!" Hotch growled.

"Ross is in the room next to you, demanding the same thing." Morgan replied. "Just wait a few minutes Hotch, then we will go get her back."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Talia Cruz smiled as she received a text that JJ had arrived. She waited until she knew JJ was situated in the contained room before approaching. The extensive security measures were in place and even Talia had an impressive screening process. It was perfect.

She stood in the corner as JJ was placed on the bed; clearly sedated. "How is she?" Talia asked from the corner, inching forward.

Mark smiled, "She's doing fine; we got the seizure to stop pretty quickly. Had to give a few more doses of the rescue med but overall, I think she is doing pretty well."

"Has she regained consciousness at all?" Talia questioned, looking down at the sleeping woman.

"Nah, it was a pretty violent seizure. I doubt she'll be aware for at least a day, maybe more. We will just keep an eye on her vitals, hydrate her as needed. If I remember correctly, she is pretty sensitive to the seizures and it takes a good day for her to be aware of much going on."

Talia nodded again before smiling down at JJ; she would get her payout after all. And it would be a full payout very soon and the moment she had it, she was heading to Tokyo.

Talia grabbed her own stethoscope before walking over to JJ and pressing it to her chest. "She sounds great," Talia said, "I can at least give my angel of a brother credit for that. If he hadn't worked to save her life, she wouldn't be this healthy when we got her back." She rolled her eyes and pulled down JJ's shirt from the collar. "She needs another port; I am not going to fight her with injections and IVs." She paused for a brief moment before looking at the clock. "Go ahead and bathe her, last thing I want is her getting an infection. Text me when she is out and I will come do the port placement in here."

And with that, Talia turned on her foot and left the room. Exceptionally relieved that the hard part was over. At least for her.
