So I realize I made a few uh oh's, the first is this is Washington D.C...and that's where they are. I kind of forgot that, so now they are flying to Michigan. And another is I have to start updating all of my stories again! I'm sorry! I have had so much going on lately that I have nothing. My gallbladder needs to be removed, I'm working now, my grandma is in town and my boyfriend wants to start house hunting ! :D Anyways, review please! On with the story (:

The only emotion that was going through the plane now was fear and stress. No one had ever seen Reid so scared before, or uptight. They didn't know why, but we had a feeling we'd find out soon, but all that the four knew was they had to find this girl, alive.

When we arrived at the location, Reid darted through the police station followed urgently by his team. They stopped in the doorway he as he ran in and started talking to Lila. "What happened Lila?"

Morgan, Prentis, JJ and Rossi all looked at each other and continued watching, hoping for an answer to what was going on, what they were left out of the loop on this time.

"I'm so sorry Spencer! I took my eye off her for one second to grab her sippy cup and then I looked up and she was gone." Lila started crying again, as Reid hugged her and was whispering in her ear. Hotch showed up behind them and spoke, making Reid and Lila split.

"Time to re-brief and talk with the police department." He said, then walked away, or tried too before Reid called him back. Hotch showed back up and looked on at Reid.

"Could I do it please?" Hotch nodded and walked away again.

Reid walked out with Lila following, attempting to smile at the others as she passed them, they understood her heart was shattered.

They all lined up in front of the police department, Reid started speaking. "Four year old Leah Arnold went missing from a local park here in Michigan. Her mother Lila, took her eyes off her one second to grab something for the girl, but looked up and Leah was gone. This was less then 4 hours ago, so there is a chance they are still in the local area, and Leah still could" Reid choked up, but continued "be alive. This is a highly personal case and needs full and direct attention from all working it. Thank you." Reid walked away and started going through case files.

Reid hadn't stopped working for about 5 hours, it was almost 11:00 pm and he refused to eat or sleep, he barely drank anything unless Lila made him. She refused to leave until they found her daughter. Lila was forcing him to at least eat a sandwich when Garcia had video called, the team and Lila huddled and answered it.

"Okay so I traced every known sex offender in the area and then some and nothing. All are either dead or in prison for breaking parole. Reid?" She and the team began to notice Reid was in deep thought. "Reid are you okay?" She asked and got an answer when he darted over to the files and started searching again before grabbing one and running over to Lila.

He practically forgot everyone else was around when he started speaking "Lila do you remember when Leah was born, that night at the hospital?"

"Of course I do, why?" She asked, curious to what he was thinking.

"Hotch I just started thinking, what if it wasn't a sexual predator that took Leah. Do you know they most common kidnappings of kids happen by other mothers." He caught everyone elses attention and continued "Some mothers who lose their babies during or after delivery tend to try to recreate what they could have had with their kids, with other peoples kids that look similar to theirs. What if that's what happened with Leah? Lila do you remember that lady at the hospital? She was asking us about Leah and telling us she had just lost a baby girl that she thought looked just like Leah..." He explained.

Lila's eye widened as she looked at Reid, he looked to Garcia and spoke again "Garcia, I need you to look up a woman named Linda Crow." Garcia started typing away.

"Linda Crow, 28 years old. She had a baby girl when she was 24 but the baby got caught on her umbilical cord and didn't make it through delivery." Lila broke out a cry and Garcia continued. "She lives at currently 234 Waterloo Drive!" Reid grabbed his stuff and the team and Lila followed him out of the building to go get Leah.

When the team arrived, they all climbed out of the car and the other officers stood behind their doors with their guns drawn. Hotch and Reid went and talked with the head officer before walking back over to everyone. "Okay Morgan, Rossi and Reid, go in and try and get her to talk to you. Be careful." They suited up and drew their guns as they walked up and through the door.

As they turns a hallway and entered the living room, they came face to face with Linda, who was holding Leah with a knife to her throat. Reid raised his hands and spoke. "Linda, I'm Spencer Reid with the FBI, I need you to put the knife down and away from Leah."

"Daddy!" Leah cried as tears streamed down her face. Morgan and Rossi looked at Spencer in complete shock as Reid's heart shattered.

"Oh I know who you are. She thinks you're her father." Linda snarled at him harshly. "Your never here for her. I've been watching out for them because your never here. She needs someone who is going to love her and be here for her."

"Linda, listen to me. I do love her, very much. She is my daughter, and I love her just like you love your daughter. Taking her from us into going to bring your daughter back and killing her wont either, your just taking another child away from her parents." Linda started crying and let Leah go, but put the knife to her own throat. Leah ran over to Spencer and her picked her up, holding her tight. Soon a gun shot went off and Linda was lying on the ground. She had tried to stab Derek and he had to defend himself.

Outside, everyone heard the gunshot and Lila broke down, thinking it was Spencer or Leah. JJ and Emily held her, trying to reassure her.

Soon everyone dropped their weapons and put them away. The medics ran over and took Leah away from Spencer. Lila ran over and grabbed her child, kissing her and hugging her as Leah cried. Spencer and Lila climbed with the medics into the ambulance and headed to the hospital.

The team sat in the waiting room for Reid to come out when about an hour later he did. They all stood as he approached;

"How is she?" Hotch asked.

"She's okay, sprained her wrist from how Linda grabbed her, but only scratches and bruises." He looked down, before speaking again. "I already know I have tons of explaining to do..." They nodded and laughed.

"I'm going to stay here for the night with them." Reid said.

"Okay, I'll send the jet back in the morning for you." Hotch said, Reid thanked him and walked back to where his daughter was being discharged.

How did I do? Worth waiting for?

Review please!

I love you guys, seriously! (:
