The Meeting

WITH MORGAN AND PRENTISS

Morgan had been waiting at the address or a little over 10 minutes now. He looked at his watch again 12:22 AM. He was beginning to worry. Prentiss was still passed out in the back of his car. He hoped she would be alright and JJ too.

"JJ I'm comin baby." He whispered into the night seconds before an old car showed up. Two big men got out of the car.

"Your here to show your loyalty eh?" One of them men asked. Morgan didn't answer he just opened the door and showed the unconscious Prentiss in the back of his car.

"Alright, give me your phone and any other means of communication with the world you may have." Morgan did so but didn't understand it. "We have strict rules here at the UA. Now, follow us, we are takin you to where the girls are held. This one is a little older but damn her body makes up for it. She will probably get a job pretty soon." One of them men said approvingly. He had to control his emotions and bite his tongue as they talked about her like that. He got in the car and followed their car for about a half an hour until he pulled up to a large building, much like the one they had just put a stop to a day ago. The car rolled to a stop and Morgan got out of the car. He went to the back and pulled Emily out as well. He put her over his shoulder in a fireman's carry and walked over to where the other men were standing close to the door.

"Ready?" The one asked him before opening the old door. They walked inside and the first thing Morgan saw was a bunch of big men around a large tv watching football with more beer then he had probably ever seen in the same room. One of the men that had escorted him quickly went to join the drunk group. Forcing his head to look away, they walked around a corner to where the stairs were.

"this leads to the basement. It's where all the girls are held. All the men that live here live on the 2nd and 3rd floors." He said leading him down the concrete stairs. Morgan had to keep his jaw from dropping. There were cages with girls. Girls chained in corners. He saw some rooms which was probably where they kept the good ones. JJ was most likely in one of these rooms probably terrified. The big burly man led him over to one of the rooms. It was like an interrogation room because it had the one way mirror.

"We can just put her in here for the rest of the night." He said unlocking the door and opening it. Much to his luck it was JJ's room. Now at least JJ could share her fear with Emily. He set her down next to a pale, bruised and bloody JJ. She was either unconscious or asleep either way his heart broke at the sight of her and not being able to do anything made his anger rise even more, it made him want to punch a wall. But he kept his cool. He left the room quickly and closed the door. The man who had been waiting in the door frame re-locked the door.

"you stayin here tonight?" The big man asked.

"Yeah my place is pretty crowded tonight so I thought I'd just bunk here."

"Alright I will show ya to a room." He walked back up the stairs with Morgan at a slow trot behind him. Every cell in his body told him to turn around and go help his lover but he knew he couldn't. It was tearing him apart and he'd only been there a short time. Before he knew it he was in a room with 2 bunk beds. Only one of the two bunk beds had stuff on them, implying the other one was free. He laid down on the bottom bunk. All he wanted was for JJ to be in his arms but at least he knew she was safe and alive. Now they just had to get out of here. That was the tricky part. And Morgan had no idea how to approach it.

WITH THE TEAM

"Has Garcia checked the tracking device on Morgan's car yet?" Reid asked the few remaining members of his team. When neither of the other men answered Reid offered to call her himself.

"Oracle of Quantico speak if you deign to hear truth." Garcia said but lack of enthusiasm.

"Garcia can you trace where Morgan's car is at right now."

"Faster than you can talk, alright is about 30 minutes east of the address he met at."

"Okay thanks Garcia." Reid said hanging up before she could say anything else.

"Alright I have a location on where they are at but I don't think we should raid tonight. We don't have enough man power and we aren't sure if his car is at the right place or not. And considering they aren't in immediate danger I think we should pick this up in the morning. None of us have slept in over 24 hours." Reid said.

"I agree. I will see you both bright and early tomorrow. Night." Hotch said grabbing his coat jacket and leaving the police station, followed closely by Rossi and Reid.
