Chapter 3
Garcia sat drinking her monster, while her computers searched cyberspace. when she received a surprise email from Emily. Garcia stopped drinking and opened it instantly as she missed her Girlfriends, too much testosterone around the office being the only female. She read the Email
Garcia, Guys
This is Emily and JJ, we've stumbled onto a black market adoption ring in Story city. They have kidnapped us from the gas station that was next to our motel 'carousel'. We were drugged and driven away to an unknown location. The twins we have been looking after have been bought by a couple whom we think are Pedophiles. Please hurry.

"Oh, my god! They just can't stay out of trouble." Shouted, the worried computer analyst
She ran as fast as her heels would allow into Hotch's office without knocking and showed him the message she had just received. She watched him read the message his face remained unchanged.
"Garcia, search every name and do a deep dive on the motel and gas station. Run a search on missing pregnant women for all surrounding states." Hotch ordered
"Morgan! assemble the troops, we have a case." He shouted at his lead agent
Chief Strauss wondered over to investigate the cause of the sudden excitement, she strolled into the round table room. Hotch handed Strauss the paper copy of the message. She took a few moments to digest the message.
Reid walked in followed by Rossi and Morgan, they all looked at Hotch to find out what all the excitement was about.
"Emily and JJ have been kidnapped by a black market adoption group. Garcia received this message just now, it was sent from Emily's laptop. We will fly across and retrace their last movements and question the owner of the gas station." Briefed Hotch
The phone rang and Morgan turned on the speaker of his phone.
"I've found 23 missing pregnant women in the surrounding states going back 10 years. They were all 7 to 8 months pregnant. I have my babies, pardon the pun going back 20 years. I have found 10 missing new born's around the same area. I am searching for the Millers as we speak. I will be back as quickly as I can." A worried Penelope ended the call quickly with no time to procrastinate.
"Clever, snatching the women from such a broad area. hard to connect them unless you where looking. So many police departments and states, no bodies!" Rossi tells the group
"You need privacy and seclusion, you can't just turn up with a set of twins, without someone noticing. They must operate from a rural location to keep people from asking questions." Morgan adds to the discussion
"Agent Hotchner! wheels up, we are wasting time here. We can continue briefing the team in the air, no one messes with my Agents. I will meet you on the plane." She told Hotch disappearing out the room
Her statement caused a few raised eyebrows from the men, Hotch even raised the corners of his mouth in what looked like a failed attempt at a smile.

The B.A.U jet reached cruising altitude and was on route to story city Iowa. The last known location of Emily and Jennifer.
"Emily had talked JJ into going so she could ride the 1913 Herschell-Spillman antique carousel. She was so giddy, when JJ agreed. An interesting fact about the..." Reid was told to shut up, by the team much to the amusement of Strauss
Garcia appeared on the plasma.
"I am officially worried about my girls now. The Miller family, only exist as a name in cyber space, I have no tax returns, no salary cheques, no bank accounts they are digital and virtual ghosts. It's impossible guys, I can't wipe someone as completely as the Millers have been cleaned. I can't help you to find Emily and JJ. I am so sorry." A dejected Garcia just lets out a sigh in frustration at her lack of insight.
"Miss Garcia, your track record speaks for your excellence, keep trying you will find something" Strauss told the dejected woman.
Hotch looked on in amazement at the jovial section chief, she most certainly got out of her bed the right side this morning.
"Garcia what do you know about the motel and gas station?" Hotch asked
"The Carousel motel, owned by Carl Lynch aged 60, he checks out clean. The motel has been in his family for three generations. The gas station owner Paul Browers aged 69, he checks out clean again the gas station has been in his family for four generations. The assistant in the gas station a Mr Elvin Rigg aged 29, He has a record for peeping at changing cheerleaders, he progressed onto taking up skirt pictures before a boyfriend noticed and punched him. He got off that charge because of the boyfriends assault. He has kept his nose clean since or at least not gotten caught. Sheriff Lee Cox is excepting you when you land. He wasn't a happy law enforcement officer until I pointed out two FBI agents had been kidnapped. Ma'am I might have gone a little JJ on him." Garcia told the group
"Don't worry, Miss Garcia, emotions are running high. Good work." Strauss told her.
Hotch was most definitely getting the feeling Chief Strauss had a new bed companion. He smiled too himself. He thought well done Dave.
"When we arrive, Morgan and Rossi take the gas station and shake up Mr Rigg and then ask him to accompany you to the station for questioning or hopefully something he can be arrested for. Reid go to the station and set up. Ma'am your with me at the motel. I know this is personal, I want it done by the book the girls wouldn't want it done any other way. Vests on I am not taking any chances. We will find them." Hotch detailed the team off.

Emily and JJ laid down on the floor giving the little ladies some tummy time, suddenly the door was unlocked and two guards entered and handed them both breast pumps. get started and fill the bottles. JJ placed Vanessa in her crib and leaned down to kiss her on the forehead.
"You sleep for a while Sweetheart, I won't be far away." Smiled JJ
Both women attached the breast pumps and started pumping filling the bottle.
Emily started laughing to herself while she rocked in her chair. JJ looked across and smiled
"What?" JJ asked
"I was just thinking, what would happen if Derek and Reid burst in now, breasts out both of us pumping milk?" She laughed
"Reid, he would turn into a tomato and get all flustered, the man slut his eyes would nearly pop out at seeing both our breasts and his mind would be in overdrive." Laughed JJ
"Jennifer, I want them, we can give them a good home. Your already a great Mommy, we have the space and money. Did I say we have the space?" Emily started to ramble
JJ smiled at the sight of her wife rambling over the two blondes that had already Stolen her own heart. "Yes." Was all JJ needed to say.
"Now! The tricky part, keeping the twins out of the Pedophiles hands and not die. Simple really." Smiled JJ
"We are two kick ass lesbian, FBI agents, we can do anything." Smirked Emily
Both were hiding their fear by joking but Emily could really see the two girls in her life. She already felt protective of her twins. Now she just needed a cunning plan.
"Jen, have you seen an ignition source anywhere, around here?" Asked Emily with a devilish grin on her face.
"Why?" Asked a confused JJ
Emily squeezed the baby powder bottle emitting a fine spray of powder. JJ looked on blankly for a few seconds then the penny dropped.
"We use the sparks we get from the shorts of, the two bare electric cables from those bedside lamps, they will provide us the spark we need to ignite the powder. We tape the bare wires next to the door frame. when the goons come to get us we throw the fine talc powder at them and turn the lamps on. Flash fire hits the guards disorienting them, using the distraction we grab the girls and run." Smiled Emily
"Is, that it!" Groaned JJ "Risky! Especially with our precious little cargo. We don't really have an option, do we?" JJ told her wife.
They spent the next few minutes stripping the insulation from the two lamp cables and attaching them to the door frame low enough not to be easily noticed. With their little surprise ready they got the twins dressed ready for their upcoming adventure.
EJ
The town's sheriff waited for the B.A.U members to leave their jet and approach.
"Agents, I am Sheriff Lee Cox welcome to Story City. Everything has been prepared as Miss Garcia requested, she is certainly a unique individual." Smiled the sheriff
"Thank You Sheriff. I am SSA Aaron Hotchner and this is SSA's David Rossi, Derek Morgan, Dr Spencer Reid and section Chief Erin Strauss. could you give Dr Reid a lift back to the station please sheriff?" He asked
The sheriff just nodded, indicating for Reid to follow him.
EJ
Rossi walked over to the cashier at the gas station
"Good afternoon sir, I am SSA David Rossi and my colleague over there is SSA Derek Morgan. Did you happen to be working Tuesday Morning?" He smiled
"No, that was Elvin, Elvin Rigg. He is in the stock room if you would like to talk to him. I am the owner Mr Paul Bowers" The curious owner smiled at the agent.
"Please, would you call him through here please?" Rossi asked
"Elvin!" Shouted the owner
A man with a pony tail smelling openly of cannabis walked into the shop. His smile faded when he caught sight of Rossi standing at the counter.
"Mr Rigg, I am SSA David Rossi FBI and my colleague behind you is SSA Derek Morgan. Do you remember seeing these two women? It would have been early morning, they were driving a metallic deep blue, Range Rover." Rossi asked him showing Emily and JJ's Picture to him.
As Rigg gazed at the two pictures of Emily and JJ, his pupils dilated instantly and his pulse increased. He had a noticeable tremor in his arms now, totally uncomfortable in the presence of the two agents.
"Could we see the CCTV from Tuesday morning please?" Asked Morgan
The owner nodded and walked around the counter to retrieve the appropriate disc. He slid the disk into the laptop, only to find that the disc was blank. It had been wiped, all footage lost.
"Do we have your permission to access your computer, Mr Bowers?" Rossi asked him
"Of course agents, anything you need." He eagerly responded
Rossi slid his air card into the appropriate slot of the gas stations laptop and phoned Garcia to work her magic. While they waited for a response Morgan had the local PD arrest Rigg for drug use and transport him back to the station, he could stew for a few hours before they questioned him.
Morgan's Cell rang. "Go ahead Baby Girl your on speaker with Rossi."
"I have recovered the deleted data files, they have been sent to your iPads. Catch them for me and bring back my girls. Quantico out." Garcia ended her call
Rossi and Morgan watched as JJ took her snacks to the checkout. They watched her injected four times.
"Why four injections? the first injection seemed to be the knockout drug. What is in the other syringes?" Rossi asked aloud
They both then watched, Rigg run to the door and bring Emily running to her fallen wife. Again Emily had one injection into her neck and then a further three into her buttock. They continued to watch until they drove off in the girls Land Rover.
Morgan called Reid and asked him to check what was in the direction they drove off in.
Morgan and Rossi drove off in their SUV back to the station ready to interview the accomplice.
EJ
Morgan waited for Hotch to brief the team, Hotch and Strauss walked into the room, informing the group the Motel was a bust. Morgan explained what they had discover during their visit to the gas station and then played the CCTV footage.
"Rigg is stewing in the interrogation room, let's have coffee, then we will go question Him. Myself and you Morgan, will have first go." Hotch tell the group
After the refreshment break Hotch decided Mr Rigg was ready for Questioning. Hotch walked into the interrogation room and sat opposite Rigg while Morgan stood and leaned against the wall in his most menacing manner.
"I have been waiting for 2 hours over a little bit of cannabis. I am going to sue the pants of you all." A frightened man tried to project his confidence in front of the two FBI agents.
You did not need to be a top Profiler to know it was all for show.
Morgan placed his iPad down and played the whole kidnapping. What confidence his little outburst had provided him, drained away at the sight of the video footage he had been paid to delete. He now started panicking, he realised he hadn't been paid enough for this.
With a sigh "what do you want to know?" A broken man asked
"Everything, start from the beginning and don't leave anything out." Hotch suggested
"Zack Mills contacted me the night before, he told me about the Blonde and old brunette driving the Range Rover. He needed them desperately as the babies mother had accidentally died. The carrousel owner had been told by the old women they would gas up here before starting off. They waited out back and grabbed the blonde while she shopped inside. They drugged her, Then I shouted she had collapsed and the older one ran straight in to her. They injected her while she was occupied with the blonde. Zack and Cody Miller loaded them into their SUV and drove them to the family compound. It's 15 minutes down the road situated in a secluded wooded area concealed from the road and air. That is all I know, I didn't know they where FBI agents." He told Hotch
"How many times have you done this for the miller's?" Asked a curious Morgan
Mr Rigg had already given away his guilt, his body language told both profiler's there was a lot more to come. Morgan slammed his palms into the table top, making Elvin jump. He visibly started to shake.
" I need protection, Bobby Miller is a Psychopath, He will kill me. He owns a large estate 10 minutes past the family compound. He has a lucrative BDSM porn business, I sometimes inform him of females travelling alone, he then arranges their disappearance and uses them in his films. He uses his Alligator farm to dispose of the dead bodies. Your agents could be at either site, pray they are still at the compound. The father is not a good man agents, be careful." The shaking man tells the agents
Hotch walks out of the interrogation room and sees Strauss.
"We need to raid both locations simultaneously Ma'am. And we need to do it as soon as possible. This is a small town so our arrival will be well known already. Our arrival could cause them to accelerate their plans, that could mean the disposal of Emily and JJ." He explained to Strauss
"I agree, get things rolling, Aaron bring them home." Strauss nodded in agreement
