Ch. 8- Homeward Bound

JJ's POV:

I glanced around at the area surrounding me once again and sighed. Sure, I was safe, but really, what the hell am I supposed to do now? I packed up the supplies I had been using and started up the four wheeler. It revved to life as I got comfy, and slowly turned around to what I thought was 180 degrees, and began to weave my way through the woods.

Ahead, I could see a brighter area, possibly meaning that a clear spot was ahead, or with my luck, the road. It had been a couple hours since I first ventured into the woods during my escape, so I would be surprised if my hunter was still out there.

A couple minutes later, I pulled out of the trees and onto the familiar dirt road that signified the way home.

Much to my surprise, a ways ahead of me sat a dark blue Ford with a dirt bike in its bed, gleaming in the hot sun. Uh oh.. I thought to myself as I heard the truck start up. It slowly started creeping towards me, looking almost harmless in the sunny, hot afternoon. Funny though, that I saw it as harmless and the man with the gun sat inside, probably going over some sketchy scenario of my death.

So I had 2 choices, turn back into the woods and get lost again, and later hunted down. (I knew this from the dirt bike in the back). Or, I could fight my way out. I mean, I was sort of healthy, I had a fast 4-wheeler, a pocket knife, and my BAU- trained skills, thank you very much.

That decided it. Enough running away, JJ. Time to step it up and get out of this hell-hole.

Spencer's POV:

I'm pretty sure I over-packed, even though I was simply packing a bag for the chase. I was nervously freaking out about what to bring, what to do, how to do things, what do say to her, how to go at this, so many questions! But only 1 thing mattered- I was gonna get my girl back, no matter what it took.

"Kid, let's rock and roll!" Morgan yelled. I hoped out of my chair and we raced down the SUVs. Morgan started it up and all 3 BAU SUVs started down the roads away from Quantico. My phone started buzzing wildly, Hotch on the other line.

"Hello?" I answered.

"The PD just called. A helicopter spotted a dark blue Ford sitting on a dirt road. Garcia texted you the directions. Everybody's meeting there."

"On it!" I yelled as I hung up. I opened Garcia's text and instructed Morgan along to her directions.

JJ's POV:

"UGH!" I grunted as the man threw me to the ground once more. Great, more dirt on my new blouse. Not that it wasn't already dirty enough. I hopped up and got back into my defense stance, ready for whatever he had coming next. He threw a punch, and I grabbed his built arm and twisted it around. The man started yelling in pain, and I almost laughed.

"Yeah? How do you think I feel, you pathetic bastard?" I yelled as in threw him to the ground. I jumped on his back and held my open pocket knife to the back of his head, holding him down with the rest of my body weight. He was smart. Kind of.. he was smart then because he held still, afraid to move an inch and end his own life.

Right then, a few black SUVs raced down the road towards us, and I real smile for the first time in days popped into my face.

"Finally." I whispered to myself, as the team members ran to me, Morgan racing to the man to hold him down for me, and the rest of the team pulling me into a group hug. Sobs and tears of joy raced down the cheeks of my teammates, as they welcomed my back into their arms.

We all pulled away, and then I saw the one person I needed to be with again the most. Spencer Reid walked up to me and pulled me in, holding me in his lanky arms.

"I never thought I'd see you again, JJ." He whispered in my ear.

"Me neither, Spence. I've been waiting far too long for this moment." I whispered back.

Then Spencer Reid whispered out three words that would echo through me for the rest of the day, heck, the rest of my life as far as I knew.

"I love you." He said, and I simply pulled back and smiled into his tired eyes.

"I love you too, Spence." I said as I leaned in and kissed the man I had been waiting for almost 3 weeks of torture.
