Luke looked over at JJ who was nearly asleep on his shoulder "JJ come wake up, you cant sleep here" he said gently nudging her.
"Luke's right, you need rest" hotch agreed "your going to stay here tomorrow to heal, and Emily your going to stay with her"
"Hotch in fine, I'll just sleep it off then I can come in to work" JJ argued
"You can go to the hospital or stay here tomorrow, your choice."
"Fine I will stay here" JJ said frustrated "can I go to bed now" she shifted slightly so Luke could stand up which caused a jolt of pain in her stomach where she was kneed, but she didn't make any noise, that was weakness.
Hotch nodded towards Emily who got the message and stood up to help JJ, she reached out but JJ ignored her and got up on her own, she reached into her pocket and handed Luke one of the business cards from coach Taylor. "I was instructed to give you this" and she left up the stairs to her and Emily's room.
JJ closed the door behind her thankful no one followed her, she against a shower and slowly changed into pajamas she had hoped to go back to aunt may and beccas bar, but there was no way she could get through the woods right now. Not because of the pain, but because of the fact she would have to explain what happened to them, and she really just wanted to act like it didn't happen.
This is what she was afraid of, she hoped they would they would just be able to close the case, with nothing coming up, obviously that was not going to happen.
JJ knew she wouldn't be able to sleep but got in bed nonetheless.
……………………….
The team, and Luke watched as JJ went up the stairs.
"Ok I think we all agree we need to talk about what happened" Morgan broke the silence
"Luke?" Emily said, if anyone knew about JJ if was luke.
"I'm telling you now, it's not my place to say anything, I would never betray JJs trust like that" he gave them all a look that said she mind would not be changed. "I'm going to sleep if you need me" and he left a different set of stairs JJ had gone up.
"You know statistically about 48% of kids are abused, and I think it's clear that she was" Spencer said
"I agree with Spencer, I think that's why she has seemed off since we got here" Morgan said
"JJ isn't one to go down without a fight, but she didn't move or try to defend herself against her father" Emily added
"We need to call Garcia" Rossi said
A moment later Garcia popped up on one of the iPads screens "lady behind the curtain here, what can I do for you"
"Garcia we need you to look into JJs childhood" Rossi said, Garcia's face dropped at the mention of JJs name, Morgan had called her after the whole ordeal to tell her what happened.
"What exactly am I looking for?" She asked
"Anything out of the ordinary" hotch said
There was a moment of incredibly fast typing, they all waited patiently for anything Penelope might find.
"Um ok this is weird, I can't find any records of JJ from the time she was 10 until she was 18, it's like she dropped off the face of the earth"
"You mean like the kids that went missing" Emily asked concerned
"Yeah exactly like that, actually" she said
"Do me a favor Garcia and look at the childhood of a Luke hart" hotch said
"Um— same thing, nothing"
"Thanks Garcia, we'll call you in the morning." Rossi hung up the call
"Whatever happed to these kids prior to the murders happened to Luke and JJ" hotch said glancing towards JJs room
