Chapter 7
Derek Morgan looked around the table at his BAU team dejected, he had only two agents on his team since he had taken charge of the team a month ago. Jennifer Jareau had been sacked for failing to arrest her now dead arms dealer girlfriend. Spencer Reid was now number 8 on the FBI's 10 most wanted list, he had sold secrets with his wife Erin Strauss-Reid to the highest bidder. Penelope Garcia had been kidnapped just over a month ago after she left a cafe.
No contact had been made by her kidnappers, his head told him she was most likely dead but his heart kept the colourful unicorn loving tech genius alive waiting for her rescue. Their newest member SA Ashley Seaver joined them from the domestic trafficking task force later today. He still had to choose two new members for his team.
"We are still on stand down until they have finished the investigation into section chief Strauss and Dr Reid. We have all been cleared of any wrong doing over SSA Jareau and are all cleared back to full duties. Do we have anything new on Garcia?" Sighed a unhappy Morgan.
"Nothing, we have exhausted all avenues since we found the burnt out van. Derek we don't even know she is still alive." Rossi told his new Unit chief
"Rossi when Seaver arrives, you will have to do the BAU induction with her as we are very short handed." Morgan told him.

Dr Spencer Reid stood watching his grab team get everything ready for this afternoon's snatch of his wife from the CIA transfer team. It had taken him nearly three weeks to locate where she had been taken. His old colleague's wouldn't recognise him any more, he stood wearing black jeans with a dark T-shirt on and a thin scarf knotted loosely around his neck. He had a double holster attached to his belt around his back with a pair of automatics sat in them. His now ginger hair sat in a pony tail.
Dr Reid was an extremely smart man that had hidden his extra activities well from his BAU Profiler colleagues for years, he was a smart very nerdy Psychopath. Spencer and Erin his wife had used two deep cover operatives for their own means with the help of their corrupt handlers. Emily Prentiss had ruined everything by taking matters into her own hands.
Erin had suffered a significant brain injury when Jennifer Jareau had smashed Erins head into the wall twice. Reid had only two things he wanted to do before he disappeared for good. Get his wife back and find Jennifer Jareau and kill her in the most painful way.

Reid picked up the radio "Remember the only person that maters is Erin, everyone else dies." He coldly tells every one
His eight man and two women team wait for the unmarked ambulance van and it's two escorting cars. The lead escort car pulls up alongside the garbage truck when a side door opens and the car is riddled with bullets from the two hidden machine guns. The two gunners emptied their 300 rounds of ammunition into the unsuspecting car, the trail car was hit by three RPG rounds.
The driver of the ambulance raised his hands as two hooded figures aimed guns at them.
"Throw the keys out the window and put your hands on your head!" The gun man ordered.
Reid opened the rear doors and shot dead the two men in the back. They lifted Erin Strauss-Reid off the stretcher and transferred her to the SUV that pilled up.
Reid keyed his radio "Tidy up and GO!" He ordered, throwing Garcia's credentials on the road.
The two gunmen shot the two remaining people and threw a incendiary device into the cab and ran away. The snatch operation lasted a total of 10 minutes, leaving 10 people dead. Now Spencer had his wife back his full attention was on one lady.
EJ
"Hello Erin, open your eyes for me." Spencer told his wife
She opened her eyes, her left eye lid dropped a little. She had suffered a severe head injury form JJ ramming her head into the wall twice. She suffered a minor stroke affecting the left side of her body.
With a lopsided grin she pulled Spencer down for a kiss with her right arm.
"Love you Erin, sorry it took so long to find you." Reid kissed his wife
"Where is Jareau?" She stuttered, her stroke making speech difficult for her
Reid held up his iPad showing her Penelope Garcia in a small room.
"We will find her and make her pay Erin don't worry. Just rest now." Smiled Reid
EJ
He opened Garcia's little cell and passed her the iPad he carried. She looked at him and waited for him to tell her what he wants. Garcia had learnt in the first week to stay silent until asked a question. She had her food withheld after complaining too much, surviving on water only for three days.
"FaceTime, Morgan." He commanded and placed two rings on the table
He allowed Garcia out of her room and showed her to the table and sat next to her. She typed the number for Morgan's phone by memory and initiated the call.
After a while Derek Morgan appeared on the iPad screen
"Penelope, Thank god your alive, where are you?" A concerned Morgan asked
Reid turned the iPad until he was centred on the screen.
"Hello Derek, are you missing me?" Smirked Reid
"If you hurt a hair on her body, I will kill you!" Warned Morgan
"Derek please, if I wanted her dead she would be by know. You know the statistics on kidnapped victims, would you like a little monologue for old time's sake. Penelope here is a means to an end. You have 1 day to get me Jennifer Jareau in handcuffs in a location of my choosing." Reid told his old friend
He clipped a collar around Garcia's neck and a duplicate collar onto the stone statue in the corner of the room.
"Watch carefully." Reid prompted.
He picked the iPad up and showed the two identical collars to Derek. He took out his cell and dialled a number. A beep from each collar was heard and a red flashing light appears on the front.
"Watch, Oh Penelope I do hope for you I dial the correct number, or it's going to get messy." He laughed
Reid dialled a number and the collar on the statue started beeping, 5 seconds later a small bang was heard and the statues head fell off.
"Only a small directional charge but enough to destroy the neck of our colourful friend over their. Now I want Jennifer, she has to pay for what she did to my wife. You have 1 day to find me good old JJ. I will contact you again in 24 hours." Reid just ended the face time call
"What are you going to do to JJ?" Asked a petrified Garcia
"That's up to Erin, I am going to hit her head a few time. Payback for me is she finishes worse than Erin." Smiled Reid
He pushed Garcia back into her room and locked the door. He put the iPad in a box preventing any signal escaping. He knew how tricky the tech goddess could be,
EJ
The new BAU unit chief sat at his desk with a chemical ice pack on each hand after he had punched the wall in the round table room after his FaceTime call with Reid. The exact reach of what Reid and Strauss had done was still being investigated. It had been well hidden, so far two bank accounts had been discovered and frozen totalling 13 million dollars.
Hotch walked into Morgan's office and smirked at his new unit chief.
"You're supposed to set the example now, I know your hurting and worried but you need to stay professional. Has Seaver arrived?" Hotch smiled
"Yeah, Rossi has just finished her induction. I will use pool agents if I need them." Replied Morgan
"Do you know where JJ moved to?" Hotch asked
"Yeah, she went to the sun down in the orange state. I'm just about to ring her and let her know about Penelope." Morgan told his boss
Hotch at down and watched Morgan dial JJ's cell and waited for the reply. He was instantly told he couldn't be connected. He tried again just to check he dialled the correct number, again he got the check the number you dialled. He checked all the numbers they had on record for her, they had all been disconnected.
"She obviously has cut ties with us completely. How do we find her?" Morgan asked Hotch
"Get Garcia... sorry Kevin to run her financials." Hotch ordered.
EJ
"Wow, Look at all the fishes, Mom, Mama." Yelled Henry
Lizzy with the help of Emily was trying to master the use of her flippers. She was kicking a lot and making very little headway, With a few pointers she at least went foreword. The family of four climbed out the water and sat on the sun deck of their new 40ft motor yacht.
While Emily reapplied sunscreen to the kids JJ checked her phone to find a warning someone had tried calling her, the FBI was also trying to access he dummy accounts. They had money moving in and out to look like the account was in use.
JJ handed her phone across to Emily to show her the alerts.
"Nothing can lead them to us here, the Director will run interference for us. No need to worry sweetheart." Smiled Emily
JJ's soon forgot about the warnings when her redhead of a wife bent down to slip her swim fins on showing her bikini clad ass off. JJ gulped and decided it could wait until tomorrow she had plans for tonight. JJ had a lovely wife that cared about her kids just as much as she did, life was good in tropical Hawaii. She was brought back to reality when the remaining 3 Jareau's pushed her back into the ocean.
EJ
Reid called Morgan exactly 1 day later on his personal cell
"Do you have her?" Reid asked
"We need more time, she has gone off the grid and radio silent." Morgan answered
"Derek, Derek. I know the play book, page, by page. Don't screw with me." The call ended
Reid looked out the window of his SUV at SSA Tony Briscoe a agent working in the BAU bullpen.
"I hope you moisturise Tony." Reid smiled
"Hey Doc, you know killing a Federal Agent will make things difficult." Terra his associate told him
"Don't worry FBI agents follow the rule book. I know that book page by page they don't have a chance." Smirked Reid
EJ
A security officer brought Hotch a designer mini chest to his office.
"Sir, this was delivered an hour ago addressed to you. The return address is Dr Reid's house. That peaked our interest, we have scanned it for explosives and contaminates but it's clean. X-ray picture looks like cloth of some type. One of the guard dogs went past it on the way up here and went ballistic barking at the chest, the handler had to physically pull him away." The security officer told him
Hotch called Morgan into his office while he waited he examined the little chest
"What have you got. Hotch?" Morgan asked entering his office
"This arrived addressed to me, the return address is Reid's house.
Hotch waited for Morgan to examine the out side. He opened the chest and found a letter on top of what looked like the whole skin of a human being. Opening the letter he read aloud
"I told you I wanted Jareau. You always protected your little blonde liaison. Might I introduce you to the former Supervisory Special Agent Tony Briscoe. I sniped the skin a few times, Tony didn't moisture so his skin wasn't very supple. He screamed like a baby his body is, well I'm sure someone will stumble over it. The clock has reset you have 24 hours to give me Jareau. Or you loose more BAU agents.
Spencer and Erin"
"I will send some agents to his house." Morgan told Hotch
