Chapter 2

On Rossi's way out of the bathroom a younger couple stopped him to ask for his autograph. The girl loved his books and couldn't believe she was actually meeting him. They chatted for a few minutes and then Rossi made his way outside. He saw the bench that he had left Prentiss on empty and the bag of food was spilled all over the ground. Rossi called out her name a few times hoping for a response. Then he called her cell phone. When he got her voice mail he snapped his phone shut, clearly frustrated. He called Hotch and told him about Prentiss. Hotch told Rossi not to worry; she had probably just gone to the bar to have a drink on her birthday. They would call Garcia and have her track Prentiss's cell phone.

"Hey Garcia we need you to track Prentiss's cell phone."

Garcia stopped what she is doing, slightly alarmed and asked "why?"

"Rossi and her were out getting something to eat and now she is no where to be found."

"Do you think she is hur-"

"Just do it Garcia!" Hotch ordered as he hung up the phone. He hates yelling direct orders at his employees but sometimes he found he had very little choice.

Once Prentiss was thrown into the van, she was tied up and gagged. Her cell phone started ringing and the un-sub grabbed her cell phone out of her sweater pocket. He looked at it for a moment before shutting it off. Opening the window he threw her cell phone, it smashing on the ground. Prentiss got a quick, good look of what the van looked like before she was thrown in. It was a white van that delivered parts for some place called Magic Parts. She just hoped that when Rossi was looking for her he thought to look this way.

Rossi entered the room that the team was currently sitting in. "Any news on Prentiss." Just as Rossi finished his sentence, the phone rang. Hotch who was sitting right beside it waiting for the call hit the speaker button. "Did you find her?" Hotch asked hoping he would like the answer.

"Her cell phone was turned off." Garcia said as all her hope that Prentiss was with them washed away.

"Rossi did you notice anything strange when you were there? People staring, asking questions?" Hotch asked as he got up from the table.

Rossi thought about it for a minute and then remembered the young kids. "There were these two teenagers. They approached me as soon as I got out of the bathroom. Asked for my autograph, I never thought anything of it. Do you think they were in on it?"

"Maybe we will call a sketch artist in to draw them and show Garcia and people in the area. Plus someone must have seen her leave, it is McDonalds for God's sake people come and go from there 24/7." Hotch said pouring his coffee down the sink because it was cold and walked out of the room. Morgan and Reid followed him to the SUV. "Where do you think you're going Hotch? We have no idea where she is?" Morgan asked knowing exactly what Hotch was doing.

"I have to try," Hotch said getting into the vehicle. Before he could drive away Morgan hopped into the front and Reid into the back of the SUV. They drove off not knowing where to go but hoped it was the right way.

Will LaMontagne entered the room were only JJ was sitting at the far end of the table, tears running down her face. Rossi had left for a walk to get some air. "Is there another victim?" Will asked knowing he wouldn't like the answer.

JJ looked up just noticing Will was there for the first time. She used her sleeve to wipe away her tears and her cheeks turned red. "We're not sure?" she said honestly. Maybe Prentiss just went for a beer at the bar, after all they didn't have that much proof. Will lifted his eyebrow indicating that he didn't buy it. JJ took a deep breath and told Will all about Prentiss. Before JJ could tell him they were jumping to conclusions he was on his walky-talky.

"We got a missing person that fits the serial killer's profile. She's about 40, black hair. She's one of the BAU agents." Will said and left JJ there alone to cry softly about Prentiss.

Hotch decided to go to McDonalds. Reid and himself looked around for anything helpful but came up empty handed. Morgan was in line ordering himself some food. Of course only Morgan could eat in a time like this. They asked the owners and some of the customers and employees if they had seen any suspicious behavior. No one could recall anything useful.

"Hey JJ we need you to talk to the press and get them up to date on the un-sub." Hotch said he entered the room with Reid and Morgan right behind him. Hotch poured himself a cup of the coffee and seated himself at the table looking through the profile once again. Morgan sat across from him with a Star Bucks coffee. Hotch gave Morgan a dirty look and pushes his own cold coffee away. It was bad enough the first time.

Prentiss was knocked out and dragged into an old house in the middle of no where. She was untied and her gag removed before being shoved into a room in the basement.

When Prentiss woke up she had a huge headache. She looked around only to see cement every where and a small metal door. There was nothing in it but a small light high on the ceiling. Prentiss slowly got up and headed for the door, but of course it was locked. She used all the energy left in her to bang on the door and scream for someone to help. After awhile Prentiss realized that no one was there and lay down on the hard, cold cement. Prentiss was over tired from only getting a few hours of sleep the night before.

The last thought Prentiss had before slipping away into her nightmare filled sleep was what would have happened between her and Hotch last night? Would she ever get the chance to tell him how she felt?
