After he got the call from Gideon, Hotch sent out an emergency recall for the rest of the team and Garcia.

As they filed in Emily looked at her half sleeping colleagues wondering what type of crazy had forced the back to work after such an awful day.

"What is this about?" Rossi asked as he took a sip of his coffee.

"Probably some lunatic who is unaware of the normal sleeping patterns of the rest of the damn world." Emily wondered if Morgan and Garcia had even heard the conversation that she and Rossi were having.

Garcia raised her head and looked at the rest of them with tears in her eyes. "This is what it will be like if she doesn't come back you know."

"Don't think like that Mama. She'll be back." Morgan said it more for himself than for Garcia.

"That's what we all thought about Reid too and look what happened there. We all thought that if we just left things alone that he would be okay and it killed him." She lowered her head back to the table as Hotch was walking in the door.

"Gideon called. JJ is not okay and he asked that we come to Vegas. Anyone who wants to go has to take personal leave and it won't be paid. I have 5 seats reserved on the next flight out for anyone who wants to go, we leave in 40 minutes." Hotch walked out before any questions could be answered.

"What the hell was that its 3 AM man he could at least tell us what happened." Morgan's lack of sleep was at this point pissing him off.

"I'm going, if she needs us we should be there." Emily stood and started to walk to Hotch's office.

"Tell him we all are, right?" Rossi's question was answered with nods from Garcia and Morgan.

When the team arrived in Vegas they rented an SUV and went to the hotel where Gideon and JJ were staying. When they arrived Gideon met them in the lobby and explained what had happened and Garcia insisted on immediately seeing JJ.

In the elevator Morgan clenched and unclenched his jaw and his fists. "I swear to God if he's alive I'm gonna kill him."

"Knock it off Morgan that is not at all helpful." Hotch said with a stern look and the exact same thoughts.

"You know what Hotch this isn't a case and I can say whatever the hell I want to cause right now you're not my boss."

"Just stop both of you!" Morgan and Hotch both looked at Emily in shock. "We are her for JJ and damn it you two are not gonna make this worse than it already has to be so just stop."

The elevator doors opened and Gideon lead them down the hall to JJ's room opening the door with a magnetic key card.

JJ sat in a chair staring out the window; her eyes were bloodshot and swollen. She was rocking back and forth as if trying to comfort herself.

"Is she in shock?" Hotch looked to Gideon who was nodding.

"At least she stopped crying it took me hours." For the first time the others looked at Gideon who himself looked exhausted.

Garcia walked over to JJ and kneeled down in front of her."JJ, sweetheart it will be alright."

"Garcia that may not be a good idea." Rossi took a step forward, but was stopped when Emily put her hand on his shoulder.

"Out." Emily looked at the men and they left without a word.

"She's had the same clothes on for two days Garcia help her get undressed and I go turn the shower on."

"Sure make the computer tech strip the armed federal agent… that's fair." Garcia mumbled as she walked to JJ.

As Emily and Garcia helped her into the shower JJ she mumbled, "How could he do this to me? How could he leave me here all alone?"

Across the hall Hotch, Gideon, Morgan, and Rossi sat in Gideon's room discussing the implications of what Diana Reid had said when there was a knock on the door.

Hotch answered it and was slightly shocked to see a boy of about five standing there.

"What can I do for you buddy?" he smiled at the child.

"Well sir I'm supposed to give you this." He said holding up an envelope to Hotch.

"Who gave you this?"

"The pretty lady."

"Did she say anything? What did she look like?" Hotch said while opening the envelope.

"Max, get over here. I'm so sorry if he was bothering you." The young woman who was obviously the child's sister said while dragging him away.

"What is it Hotch?" Morgan asked.

Closing the door Hotch pulled the letter out and read it aloud. "You are getting way to close to the truth and it is becoming dangerous. Please stop now while you are still safe. They know you spoke to Diana Reid and if you don't leave now they may hurt you all, please leave now." Hotch handed the letter to Gideon.

"Shit." Gideon looked at the letter. "Okay the wording suggests a female…"

"Let me see that." Morgan said reaching out to Gideon. "I've seen this handwriting before…Fuck go get the girls."

As the three women walked into the room with Morgan, he grabbed Garcia's hand and pulled her to the table where Rossi was looking at the letter.

"Look at this does the handwriting look familiar?"

Garcia read the words as she looked at the writing. "Oh my god…Elle."
