Reid stood at the map pinned to the board, there he drew lines and wrote notes, anything to keep himself occupied while Hotch and Morgan were interrogating Jamie.

"How long has he been like that?" Prentiss asked JJ as she stood by and watched him with her arms crossed.

"Ever since Hotch left," JJ responded while keeping her eyes on her friend. "He's trying to see if he could figure out where Alex could have been taken."

"Well, Morgan told me what they were planning on doing, so I'm pretty sure we should being hearing something soon," Prentiss let out a chuckle.

Reid groaned as he brushed his hands through his hair and pulled a few strands out with his frustration.

"Spence, you need to take it easy," JJ spouted.

"Oh really, JJ? And you would be cool as a cucumber if Will was kidnapped?"

"I'm sure I wouldn't, but we're doing everything we can to find her."

"Yeah, of course we are. Standing around drinking coffee and chit chatting, yeah, that's the best we can do," Reid snapped.

JJ stood taken aback as he lashed out at her. "Spence... I'm just trying-"

"Don't," he cut her off.

Rossi approached the girls and signaled them to give them a minute. "I'm not going to insult you by telling you I know what you're going through, but I can imagine." Reid looked back at him with skepticism. Rossi stepped forward with his thumbs hanging out of his pockets. "You're angry; someone kidnapped your wife. You're anxious; you want to go out there and find her. You're worried; you don't want anything to happen to her. We all feel the same way, yes it is on a different level, but she is our friend and we want her to be safe."

Reid looked back toward the seasoned agent with softened eyes. "I know you do."

"We are going to wait to hear back from Hotch and Morgan, and when we have our lead we will do everything in our power to get her back. I promise you," Rossi gave a subtle pat on Reid's back. Reid purses his lips and nodded back. "And what do you know, the Cavalry has arrived," Rossi remarked as the two agents entered the office confidently.

"Who took her?" Reid rushed toward them.

"Dougal," Hotch reported.

"What the hell does he want with her?" Reid questioned.

"So, how do you think you're getting out of this one, Moira?" Dougal asked with a confident smirk.

Alex stared back toward him. "From where I'm standing I have four options."

"Oh?" Dougal's interest piqued.

"You or your cronies could push me in, or I could jump and at least go out on my own terms. I could try to get out of this mess which would lead to a shoot-out from all of your men."

"And the fourth?" Dougal asked with a smile.

"I can take you down with me," she gloated.

"That would be an interesting scenario," he smirked.

"Would you care for a demonstration?" Alex stared him down.

"No need. Believe it or not but I didn't bring out here to have you killed."

"Oh, you just went out of your way to show me the best view in Ireland?" She sassed.

He let out a light chuckle. "Yeah, something like that." He nodded to his man who pulled out one of Moira's knives and approached her.

Alex controlled her breathing, unsure of her fate but was prepared to fight even with her disadvantage. The man grabbed her by her wrist and cut her bindings. He then flipped the knife and presented to her with the handle for her to grab onto.

She took hold of it as he walked away then she turned her attention back toward Dougal.

"You know sometimes to understand the true measure of a man… or woman, in this case, is to have them face death. That is when you can find out a lot about them," he stood up from the ledge.

"And what did you discover?" Alex asked, curious.

"That this isn't the first time your life has been in danger. That even with your life literally hanging in the balance, you were threatening and better still, made a joke."

"And all this means?"

"You are exactly the sort of person I am looking for," a devious smile crossed his lips.

Alex's eyebrows crossed. "Are you telling me that this whole thing was some sort of test? What the hell is wrong with you?" She lashed out.

"I needed to be sure you were the right person," he replied confidently.

"For what?" She asked with a bit of hesitation.

"For a very important venture."

Alex was escorted back to the car and offered a seat inside rather than the trunk and while she was given back all of her weapons one of the men approached Dougal. "Are you sure she is the right one for this? We barely know her and she's an American."

"That's exactly why she will be perfect. No one will ever see it coming, least of all her," Dougal sneered.

Back at the temporary BAU headquarters, the team discussed the information they received from Jamie.

Reid reviewed every conversation that took place with Dougal and Alex that he witnessed to try and discover a clue about what he could want with her.

"Where did he take her?" Prentiss asked.

"Jamie said that he was taking her to the coast, but he doesn't know why. He overheard some of the guys talking about the edge of the Ring of Kerry or something, right by the coast; wherever that is," Morgan shared.

"What did you say?" Reid's eyes widened.

"Are you familiar with that road, and that the part of coast?" Hotch asked Reid.

"Yes, I am," Reid answered in a solemn tone.

"If Reid knows this place, then maybe we should go get here," Morgan urged.

"No, you can't!" Reid snapped.

"Why?" Hotch asked as he tilted his head.

"Please, just promise me that you won't go there," Reid announced then stepped out of the room.

Morgan started after his friend until Garcia stood in front of him. "Let him go."

"But we-"

"Trust me, he has his reasons," Garcia announced to the team.
