Not Again!

After we discussed the case, we all settled into our own thing. JJ, Morgan, Reid and Seaver, where all playing cards games. Hotch and Rossi were talking to each other, while I was listening to music and reading a book. I was stretched out all the way on the couch in the back, laying on my side. I had just read a page and had flipped to the next when I saw someone standing above me. I unplugged one of my ears, so I could hear better.

"We're about to land in a about an hour." Hotch started, as he and Rossi sat across the isle from me.

"Kay." I said, as I continued to read.

"Maddison." Rossi said bluntly, getting my attention with his voice.

"Rossi." I stated in the same voice, as I closed my book, and sat up. Once I was sitting up, I could fully see the concerned looks on their faces. "What?" I asked as my right hand over my face.

"I made Garcia, tell me if you got any more roses with my name on it." Said Hotch.

"Okay." I stated confused.

"And she just called Hotch, stated that you received another dozen of red…"

"Tiger." I stated interrupting him.

"What?" Asked Hotch, leaning forward.

"Their called Tiger Roses. Not red. Red are lame. Tiger roses are…well just that." I stated, remembering the first time I saw a Tiger rose, which was given to me by my first crush.

"Okay well who ever it was, used Hotch's name again." Stated Rossi continuing where I interrupted him. "But since he uses money, and he calls over the phone to order, and then shows up to say he's there to pick them up for Hotch, we can't track him. And don't know who he is."

"So have Garcia trace the next call he makes." I stated.

"And how do you propose we do that?" Asked Hotch.

"Have her hack into the flower shop phone line." I stated my tone giving the 'duh' away.

"Can't. He's calling different shops at different times." Answered Rossi.

"Oh." I said as I thought of other ways we could think of catching the guys. "Damn he's good." I stated under my breath.

"Guys we're about to land." Called Reid from the front of the plane.

"Okay." Answered Hotch. "By the way, we came back here to let you know, you're not to go anywhere without someone with you." Hotch stated bluntly as he stood back up, with Rossi following his lead.

When the plane landed, Seaver, JJ, and Morgan drove in one car, while Rossi, Reid, Hotch and I drove in the other. When we arrived at the Police Department it was almost one in the morning. But Hotch wanted us all to set up before heading off to sleep. Hotch introduced us all, and the Chief shook all of our hands. When the Chief saw me, he thought that I was the next victim, brought here for protection.

"Well we got your room set up in the back. Agent Hotchner could I have a word please." He asked, although he keep looking at me from the side.

"Of course." Hotch answered, while the rest of us went to the room they had set up for us.

"What was that about?" Asked Morgan once we got in the room, with the door closed firmly.

"What?" Asked Reid, while the rest of us shrugged.

"First he thinks Maddie's a victim, then when he asks to speak to Hotch, he kept looking at her." Morgan answered.

"Don't know." I answered as I see Hotch leave the chief there and head to the room.

"Everything okay?" Asked Reid, once Hotch entered the room.

"Yeah." He answered back sharply.

We all shook off his attitude, and went to work on the case, while we were around the table talking, Rossi and Hotch were talking in the back of the room. I got up too get some water, and when I went next to Rossi and Hotch, they just continued to talk.

"I don't know. He's got a point. But that puts her in danger." Hotch was saying.

"But if she has a wire…"

"Do we really want to chance that? What if he found it? He could rush it or drag it out and make it more painful." Hotch said interrupting.

Not really interested in the conversion, I grabbed my water and headed back to the table.

"Okay so Abby's been missing for almost twenty hours now right?" Reid asked.

"Yes, and according to this guy, he only keeps them for four days before dumping their body," finished JJ.

"So we've got three days to save Abby." Sighed Morgan as he ran a hand over his head.

"For now, we need sleep. We've got a busy day tomorrow morning." Stated Hotch. "Let's head to the hotel, and check in. We can come back in the morning and continue." He ordered.

We all walked out of the PD, and headed over to the cars that were being lent to us to use, and drove to the Hotel. Once we arrived, we walked in, got out rooms, and went to check in.

When I got my key, I thought us girls were sharing. Until we got to the rooms. JJ and Seaver were sharing a room across the hall, while I had my room between Rossi's and Hotch's, who were sharing, and Morgan's and Reid's, who were sharing. Shrugging, I unlocked the door and walked in.

Once inside, I throw my bag on the table, and unpacked my stuff. About ten minutes later, I was getting into my pajamas. I had just laid down in bed, and was curled up on my side, when there was a knock on my door. I sighed as I got up, turning on the lamp, and hurried to the door.

"Yeah?" I called, opening it.

"May I speak with you?" Asked Rossi.

"Now?" I asked, even though I let him in. "What is it?"

"What did you hear at the station?" He asked bluntly getting right to the point.

"Just that it puts a girl in danger, and if she had a wire she could either be killed fast, or tortured." I answered.

"And how would you feel if that 'girl' was you?"

"Excuse me?" I asked not knowing what Rossi was getting. But before he could answer, there was another knock on my door.

I opened it just to see Hotch standing there. I moved aside to let him in as well. Once Hotch was in I took a seat on the bed.

"Let me get this straight. You want me to out there, get captured just so we can finish this case up quickly and get home?" I asked trying to figure out where they were going with this.

"No, if we don't find Abby, we want you to do that. Well mainly just get captured. If you had a wire on, he wouldn't be able to do much of anything." Answered Hotch.

"But we want to see how you feel about it first." Stated Rossi.

"Okay, well can we please just first focus on Abby, and see where that goes before we think about this?" I asked, as I folded my arms across my chest.

"Of course, we just wanted to give you enough time to think about it, before you rush into it or not." Answered Hotch. They both stood up, and started to walk out when I called to Hotch. "Yeah?"

"What did the chief want?" I asked.

"It was his plan." He answered, as he closed the door.

I climbed back in bed, going through the pros and cons of the idea, before falling asleep.

The next morning, I woke up to both my phone ringing, and someone banging on the door. I sighed, before picking up my phone and walking to the door.

"Hello?" I said into the speaker part.

"Answer you door." Said Hotch before hanging up.

I hung my line and walked to the door. When I opened it, Hotch pushed past me and into the room. Followed by the rest of the team. JJ handed me a bottle of Cherry Coke and gave me a warm smile, as she passed me.

"Well good morning to you all too." I mumbled closing the door and facing my team, taking a long drink of my coke.

"Okay, Morgan, Reid I want you by Maddison at all times. One of you is to be near her where ever she goes. And I mean where ever." Hotch stated.

"Hey! Hold on! What?" I exclaimed becoming fully awake now. But Hotch just ignored me.

"Is it set up yet Reid?" Hotch continued.

"AARON! What is going on?" I asked using Hotch's first name, and earning myself a few looks from the team.

"This." He answered as he passed me a piece of paper.

I glanced at the clock, and noticed it was only seven in the morning. The sun was just barely coming up. Then I looked at the note.

One way or the other, the petty blonde will be mine. Nothing you can do or will do, will save her. She is meant to be mine, so she shall be.

With the best of wishes,

Yours truly.

"Huh?" I asked not sure what this meant, nor where it came from.

"It's the unsubs. He's clearly stating that he is going to try and get you." Hotch explained in a harsh voice.

"It says…" I started about to explain that it only said petty girl.

"This also came with it." Interrupted JJ, handing me something else.

I took the paper from her, just too see myself in a photo, that was taken sometime last night, as we walked into the office. Which meant who ever took it, used a night camera. I slowly sank to the bed, and stared at the photo, along with the note.

"I think she's in shock." I heard some one say.

"Maddison. Maddie. Conner. Baby girl!" Some one else kept saying, using all the names the team knows be by.

Suddenly there was a hand on my shoulder. Which got shoved off quickly.

"I need air." I stated, as I stood up and started to rush to the door. I reached for the door just as someone placed their hand against it to keep it closed.

"Maddie, you need to stay calm." Ordered Hotch, when I started to kick and bang on the door to get it opened.

"Stay calm! Are you insane! Some psycho just sent you a note saying he was going to capture me. And you want me to stay calm!" I yelled at my boss, when someone else tried to hand me my coke. "Damn it Reid Coke isn't going to solve this!" I yelled at him, causing him to back off. "Now open this damn door!" I exclaimed, still trying to get the stupid door open.

Suddenly there were strong arms around me, pulling me away from the door, and on to the bed. I looked up to see Hotch moving away from me. Rossi was watching everything, while Reid was looking like he wanted to help, but didn't know how, and Seaver and JJ were in the same boat as him. And Morgan was blocking the door.

"Maddison, you need to calm down. Acting up won't help any of us." Ordered Hotch again.

"Fine you're right. But shooting the baster will." I stated.

"Except we don't know who he is." Mumbled Reid from the corner.

"Thank you captain obvious for that startling revelation." I said, causing him to flinch.

After a few moments of silence, I finally calmed down, JJ gave me my coke again, which I thank her for again.

"Look I'm sorry Reid, that wasn't nice." I said apologizing to the younger man.

"It's okay." He answered, even though I know his feeling were still a little hurt.

"Any one of us would have freaked out too if we knew a killer was after us." said Seaver.

"So what's the plan besides having Reid and Morgan with me at all times? Do we have any leads?" I asked in a more calm and serious voice this time.

"Not…" Morgan started to say when Hotch's phone went off.

"Hotchner…already? But she still had three days…that doesn't make any sense why would he kill her so fast…?"

"Because he found a new victim." Rossi said bluntly, looking at me.

"Okay I'll have my team come take a look." Hotch said hanging up. "Abby's body's been found." He said addressing us. "Seaver, Morgan you two go with Rossi to the crime sence. JJ Keep this out of the Press. Reid, Maddison and I will go to the Police Department."


First of all, want to thank all those who have read so far, and all those who are still reading. Secondly just to start off, I've just recently got into the show, so I haven't seen alot of it, since I don't own it, and can only see it when it's on. So I kinda suck at the whole profiling part, so I'll be skipping ALOT Of that which means there won't be alot of cases in this. The next chapter might/might not be in Hotch's P.O.V as well as Maddison's. Havent' decided yet. I should have that chapter up and posted no later then Monday night. Hopefully. Read and Enjoy. Also I've really enjoyed all the reviews so keep them coming! :) And I shall se you again in the next chapter.

Also I don't know if you like cliffhangers or not. But I know it's what keeps me going in a book/story so I love them. And will be using them ALOT! So sorry for them if you don't like them.

Umm looks like Maddison can be both nice and naughty...Wonder what would happen if she was captured by the unsub... O.o
