A/N MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

AJ x

Emily looked down at her watch then up at the closed door.

"She's been gone almost 20 minutes. I'm gonna go and find her." Emily stood from her seat.

"I'll come with you; I could do with the fresh air." Garcia also stood looping her arm in Emily's.

"I'm sure she's fine." Reid said eating a bit of sandwich.

"I expect she's just fallen asleep. It had been a long day." Rossi said from his spot next to Ezra.

"Most likely but were going to check on her anyway." Emily and Garcia turned towards the door just as it opened.

"What are you still doing here; I thought we told you to leave!" Garcia spat and everyone in the room looked and saw Alice standing in the door way.

"I came to find my husband." Alice said frustrated and slightly pissed of.

"Excuse me?" The BAU team all stood up at their guts indicated something was wrong but the Old Cliffhangers and Peter and Sophie didn't put two and two together.

"Walt hasn't come back from the toilet! Do you really think I want to spend anymore time with that thing I called a daughter for longer than I have to?"

"He left here about 15 minutes ago." Peter said as he and Sophie stood finally putting it together. The whole BAU team and the councilors ran past Alice and out the door. The Cliffhangers looked at them confused and quickly followed them.

They all ran into the cabin but there was no sign of JJ. Her jacket was still on the bed and her holster was on the floor minus the gun.

"No" Garcia whispered and put her hand over her mouth.

"He's got her!" Emily ran out of the cabin and into the middle of the lawn.

"Where would they be?" Hotch asked Peter and Sophie as the all joined to gather on the grass.

"What's going on?" Scott ran up to them closely followed by the other Cliffhangers.

"We think Walt has Shelby!" Sophie was panicking.

"WHAT!" Daisy yelled. She might be pissed off with JJ still but she didn't deserve to be in the hands of him again.

"Peter! Where would they be?" Hotch yelled eager for an answer.

"I don't know" Peter ran a hand threw his hair.

Amy walked up the group of distraught looking people.

"What's going on?"

"Amy. Have you seen Agent Jareau?" Peter asked taking a step towards the teenager.

"They blonde one?"

"Yes! Have you seen her?" Emily asked.

"Yeah. I saw her walking towards the tree line with an old looking man he looked like her dad or something." She shrugged her shoulders and walked off.

"SHIT!" Morgan cursed and reached down to pull his trouser leg up and pull out his gun. Hotch, Emily, Rossi and Reid followed his lead.

"Let's go. We don't know how long he's had her or what he's done." Hotch turned to run off with the team.

"Were coming with you." Peter followed.

"No that's out of the question." Hotch refused.

"We know these woods better than anyone. We are all coming with you!" Scott almost yelled

"We don't have time for this. Fine but you" He pointed to Juliette with her pregnant belly "Garcia stay with her and see if you can track JJ's phone she had it in her trouser pocket."

"I'm on it. Find her my super agents please." Garcia started to cry.

"Don't worry baby girl, we will" Morgan kissed Garcia on the forehead and followed the others into the woods with their guns drawn.

"We all stick together! Under no circumstances do we split up." Hotch announced "This man is dangerous."

Hotch, Morgan, Emily, Rossi, Reid, Peter, Sophie, Daisy, Ezra, Kat and Auggie ran deeper and deeper into the trees calling for JJ.

"JJ, can you hear us!" Morgan yelled.

"SHELBY!" Scott yelled.

"Everyone stop, just listen for a minute." Peter told everyone.

For the first few seconds all they could hear was birds and the wind in the trees then they heard a noise they didn't recognize.

"This way!" Peter pointed west and everyone ran in the direction.

They ran for another minute when a shot rang out just a few 100 meters ahead of them.

"JJ!" Emily yelled and they all ran of towards the sound

They came to the small clearing a few seconds later to see JJ laying face up on the cold muddy floor. Her shirt and trousers were undone, her face, wrists, chest and stomach were covered in bruises and her whole top left side was covered in blood.

JJ didn't realize there was anyone there till she heard twigs snapping to her left. She quickly got a tight grip of the gun again and pointed it towards the sound.

"JJ stop. It's us!" Emily walked out of the trees.

"It's ok JJ." Morgan stepped out "Its Emily and Morgan baby girl. Were all here."

When JJ saw them all walk out of the tree line, she dropped the gun back to the floor and stared up at the sky again.

Emily and Morgan looked at each other worried, put their guns away and ran towards JJ on the floor.

Morgan picked her gun up and tucked it in his trousers as he and Emily knelt down on the grass next to her.

"Baby girl, are you ok." When he didn't get a response he quickly checked her over. On closer inspection she had bite marks and love bites to her neck and shoulders she also had a few on top of both her breasts. She had two deep cuts on her face and dark blue and black bruising to 50% of her body. Emily saw the others slowly walking over and shook her head towards Hotch.

"All of you stay here." Hotch looked at the Cliffhangers and Peter and Sophie. They all looked scared.

Rossi, Reid and Hotch joined Emily and Morgan by JJ.

"Is she ok?" Reid asked looking over JJ's body.

"I don't know she's not responding to us." Morgan took his jacket off and placed it over JJ's chest as she shivered.

Hotch knelt down next to her head and stroked her hair trying to get some sort of response other that her looking up at the sky.

"JJ look at me" Hotch said in his best stern voice. It took a few seconds but JJ responded.

"I…i…I'm s..sorry" Her voice was shaky and she looked like she was going into shock.

"Shhhh, you have nothing to be sorry for." Emily took JJ's hand and started rubbing comforting circles on the back of it.

"What happened JJ?" Rossi asked.

"He tr..t…tried to r…rape m…me." Her whole body was shaking and a small trickle of blood came from her nose again.

"We need to get her back to the school." Emily whispered to the men in the small group.

"I know." Hotch ran a hand threw his hair.

"Where did he go JJ?" Rossi asked stroking her hair.

"I s…shot him in t…the shoulder. He r…ra…ran off."

"Good girl." Rossi made eye contact with Hotch and nodded "Reid come with me." Both Rossi and Reid ran up to the others.

"Is she ok?" Sophie asked.

"He's done some nasty damage but I think she'll be fine. Walt ran off we need your help to find him." Rossi asked Peter.

"Sure. Ezra, Auggie, Kat and I will come with you. Sophie, Scott and Daisy, Help them get Shelby back to the school." When he received nods from everyone the 5 men ran of in the direction Walt went.

"JJ can you get up?" Hotch asked. She nodded in response.

Emily gently grabbed hold of one arm and Morgan grabbed the other to help JJ stand. As she got up she winced in pain and Morgan's jacket fell off.

"Here" Emily pulled off hers "Take mine." She helped JJ put it on and do up the buttons.

JJ took a few steps towards the last remaining Cliffhangers and almost collapsed. If it wasn't for Morgan standing behind her she would have fallen to the ground.

"Jayje, we really need to get you back and your injuries checked out, can you please let Morgan carry you?" Emily held her hand as JJ lent against Morgan.

"No I can walk." JJ pushed off Morgan and this time she only took one step before collapsing in pain.

"Please JJ stop being stubborn." Hotch gave her a stern look and she nodded "Thankyou" Hotch stepped back and let Morgan lift the broken woman into his arms.

JJ wrapped her arms round his neck and silently cried into his shirt.

Sophie, Scott and Daisy walked just ahead with the others following. Every now and again Hotch and Emily could hear JJ let out a quite sob and Morgan could feel her tears making his shirt damp.

A/N Its going to start ending now but there is still a few chapters left.

Have a good christmas guys
