After cutting Reid's arm, their captor went upstairs, to grab something.
"Reid," JJ said," don't antagonize him."
"I know," Reid said," I just wanted to draw his attention away from you two."
"But, Reid," Penelope said," neither of us wants to see you get hurt."
"He never paid attention to me," Reid said.
"What?"
"I'm profiling," Reid explained," He's focused almost all of his time on you two. He targeted JJ first, then he spoke to you the whole time we were driving here."
"He's almost been ignoring you the whole time," JJ realized," Garcia, you were the first one he brought down here, what all did he do?"
"He was almost gentle with me," she said,' he strapped me to the table, but he kept talking me through it. He kept telling me that he wasn't going to hurt me."
"He was the same way with me," JJ said," he had to carry me inside, but he was really careful about making sure he wasn't hurting me. And, he was worried that I was setting a bad example for Henry."
They heard the loud footsteps of their captor coming downstairs.
"Ms. Garcia," he said," are you hungry?"
"No," Garcia said quietly," I'm not hungry."
"Are you sure? You haven't eaten since lunch," he said," and it's almost nine at night."
"She said she isn't hungry," Reid said," just leave her alone."
"This doesn't concern you," he said to Reid," are you sure you don't want me to go out and get you something?"
"I'm sure," Garcia said," I had a big lunch."
"I don't think you want to lie to me, Ms. Garcia," he said," you won't like what happens when you lie."
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. Penelope felt the burn marks on her arm begin to hurt.
"Yes," she admitted," I'm hungry."
He smiled and walked over to JJ.
"Ms. Jaraue," he said," I have a deal for you."
'What?'
"If you agree to come with me, I will bring back food for Dr. Reid and Ms. Garcia," he offered," if you don't, I will take Ms. Garcia with me and none of you will get food."
JJ didn't want Garcia to be alone with him. He was already showing signs of being borderline obsessive, and she hated to think what would happen if he took her.
"Okay," she said," I'll go with you."
"JJ," Penelope said," you don't have to go with him. I'll be fine. I don't think he'll hurt me that bad. Besides, you need to be here for when the team finds us."
JJ turned her head to look at Garcia and Reid.
"If I don't come back," she said," please help Will take care of Henry."
"Oh don't be so overdramatic," the man said," killing you wouldn't be nearly enough fun."
He pulled a syringe out of his jacket and plunged the needle into her neck. She tried to fight it, but she slowly fell asleep.
After searching for anything that looked out of place, Hotch checked under the mattress and found a driver's license.
"It says it belongs to a Samuel Rollins," he said," I doubt this guy would be stupid enough to give us his full name, but we should still send it to Kevin and see what he can find."
"Hey, Kevin," Dave said," I need you to look up a name for me."
"Okay, shoot," Kevin said.
"Samuel Rollins," he said.
"Okay," Kevin said," Samuel Rollins is a twenty-four-year-old man who works for a small plumbing business that he seems to be doing very well at, but he called in sick today. I'll send you his address."
"Thanks," Rossi said.
They drove to Samuel's house as quickly as possible and knocked on the door.
"Samuel Rollins," Hotch said," open up."
They heard nothing, so they kicked down the door, and ran into the kitchen. Samuel was tied to a chair, unconscious. Hotch checked for a pulse.
"He's gone," he said," we're too late."
The police, Hotch and Rossi all searched for another clue, when Hotch's phone rang.
"Hotch," Derek said," we're at JJ's house. The unsub called Prentiss, but he says he wants to talk to you."
"Okay," Hotch said," tell him I'm on my way and keep him talking. Is Kevin tracing the call?"
"Yeah," Derek said," he's trying."
"Go," Rossi said," I'll stay here, and get a ride back to the bureau."
Hotch got in his car and drove to JJ's house. When he got there, Prentiss was still on the phone.
"Alright, he's here," she said," I'm gonna let you talk to Hotch."
"Hotch?"
JJ was just now waking up from whatever drugs had been injected into her, and she still couldn't really think straight.
"JJ," Hotch said calmly," are you okay?"
"I think so," she said," he made me go with him. He was going to take Garcia. I couldn't let him hurt Garcia."
"It's okay," Hotch assured her," you didn't do anything wrong."
"Do you know where you are?"
"I don't know," she said," I was asleep the whole way here."
"Okay, JJ I think that's enough time on the phone," the unsub said," I have some business to discuss with your boss."
JJ tried to understand what was being discussed, but her mind was still foggy.
"So, Hotch," he said," how far has your team gotten in my little scavenger hunt?"
There was a low, angry voice on the other end. Then the unsub responded.
"Ah, so you found young Samuel, have you? I hope you left someone behind to search his house," he said," I'd hate for you to waste time driving back there."
There was more low growling, and then the unsub took JJ by the arm.
"I'd love to talk with you some more," he said," but Jennifer has a long trip ahead of her."
