~ Chapter Eight ~

~ "There's no way you'll be ignored, not any more. So, here I am." ~

"Have you seen JJ this morning?" Emily shook her head at Hotch, grabbing the coffee she had bought for her and taking it upstairs,

"I will go check on her." She shouted back at him, she sighed, wishing she had checked on the woman last night when she got back from the police station. Hotch had made her go back to the hotel after the argument, something she now had a bad feeling about.

"JJ?" She knocked the door, the worry for her best friend increasing by the second,

"JJ answer the door or I will get Morgan to kick it down..." She groaned when there wasn't an answer, grabbing her phone to quickly call the others,

"I need you to grab the room key for JJ's room, she won't answer." She heard Hotch talk to the hotel manager before she heard him running up the stairs as quickly as he could,

"What do you mean she won't answer?"

"Exactly that.. I don't know, there's something wrong.." She watched as he turned the key in the lock, looking around the room, the bed hadn't even been slept in.

"Where did she go last night?" Hotch shook his head, looking around the room, she hadn't even unpacked her stuff yet,

"I don't think she ever made it here..." He muttered, grabbing his phone before walking out.

"Garcia I need you to check the cameras around the police station at around about eight last night."

"Okay sir, can I ask what this is about?" Her eyes grew wide as she heard the next few words,

"JJ never arrived at the hotel last night." She quickly got up the camera, watching as JJ talked to a man who had his back to the camera, her heart thumping as she saw her best friend collapse to the ground, not being able to fight back.

"She's been taken, I will send you the file to the police station computer, you need to get there soon." She muttered,

"Okay, speak to you later."

"Hotch! Bring my baby girl back home okay? I don't know what I would do without her." Tears ran down her face as she watched the car JJ had been put in drive off.

"I have a license plate number.... it belongs to a Tim Jones" She said, reading it out to him as he commanded Morgan to write the name down.

"We will find her, don't worry."

"Thank you sir." She whispered before hanging up, working on sending him the file..

"JJ's been taken." Hotch announced to the whole group once Garcia had hung up.

"By our unsub?" Reid asked,

"We think so, did she say anything to you about knowing who it was?" They all shook their heads,

"She was getting suspicious about Brianna, do you think it was her all along?"

"Garcia said it was a man who took JJ, someone she knew as well. We have a license plate number and a name, we will pay him a visit after seeing the video."

"But anything could happen to her in that amount of time?" Emily said,

"I will go with Morgan to Tim's house and speak to him, while you watch the video." Hotch nodded in agreement, watching as Emily and Morgan both ran to their cars, Morgan on the phone to Garcia already.

"Let's go." He whispered, worried about the already emotional agent.

"And then I joined the FBI." JJ smiled as she told Jamie about her life, knowing his hadn't been outside these four walls.

"Are you married?" He asked, disappointment evident in his voice as he thought about the answer he expected, how could a beautiful woman like her not be married?

"No, I don't have time, what with work and everything. It wouldn't have felt right, not until I found you anyway." She shrugged, still curled up in his arms,

"I am sorry I couldn't find you sooner." She whispered, lifting her hand to his face as she pulled her face up to kiss him gently on the lips, he grinned as they pulled away,

"You have no idea how long I have wanted to do that.." He whispered, his hand slowly caressing her hair.

"You're so beautiful, even more so than what I pictured you..." She blushed, and he laughed at her,

"You're still the same charmer." She giggled as he placed his lips on hers again, both of them forgetting the situation they were in.

"Oh look the couple are still deep in love." Brianna spat at them as she made her way down the stairs,

"I am going to teach you two some manners." She grinned at them as Tim followed her down, soon ahead of her and grabbing JJ off Jamie.

"You two will learn the rules soon." She muttered, slapping JJ hard across the face as Tim grabbed some chains and pulled her to the other side of the room.

"I am sure your friends will be here soon darling." He grinned at her, chaining her to the cold, concrete wall as he chucked Brianna a gun.

"You can do the honours sexy." He winked at her, forcing JJ to look over at Jamie as Brianna pointed the gun at him, JJ felt her heart drop at the thought of losing him again. She heard herself scream but it didn't feel like it came from her, she saw the blood, so much blood. Tears ran heavily down her face as she stared at him, his eyes struggling to stay open as he stared at the fresh wound seeping through his white top, she shook her head,

"Why?"

"Because we have to go, it was nice knowing you..." She winked,

"You better hope your friends find you soon, maybe he will have a chance of living." JJ's whole body shook as she stared at him, his face completely pale as the blood continued to fall, creating a puddle on the floor. She tried to focus, wondering what Reid would say right now, what were the chances of someone surviving that bad a gun shot wound? She found herself wondering. One thing she did know though, she couldn't cope if anything happened to him. Not this time.
