A/N ive gotton some brilliant reviews! So happy you all like it!
At mid day Morgan and Emily walked back into the bullpen after spending the morning at JJ's home.
"Did you find anything?" Hotch asked standing next to Reid's desk.
"Nothing helpful." Morgan ran a hand over his head.
"Although we did find a box full of old photos under her bed." Emily said pulling a small pile of pictures from her pocket and holding them out for someone to take.
"What are they off?" Reid asked as Hotch looked through them.
"By the looks of things of them, their all from before JJ was abused." Hotch answered with his brow close together.
"That's what they are. They box we found them in had 'My childhood'
Written on the top in bright coloured marker pen." Emily sat in one of the seats. As hard as she tried not to all she could think about was what Walt was doing to JJ in that second.
"There are dates and ages of each person on the back of most of them. None of the ages of JJ or well Shelby go past 9." Morgan said.
"That makes sense." Reid said now looking over Hotch's shoulder at the pictures.
"What do you mean?" Garcia asked with confusion.
"None of the pictures of past the age of 9 because JJ believes her childhood ended on her 10th birthday at the hands of her step-father."
"Oh." Garcia nodded her head in understanding and forced the tears back that threatened to fall. She still found it hard to except that her strong and innocent best friend was once an abused run away.
"What did Peter say Hotch?" Emily asked.
"JJ hadn't mentioned anything in the past year and he couldn't remember her saying anything about she was abused when she was at Horizon but he's going to ask Sophie and the old Cliffhangers and call me back." Emily nodded.
The room filled with silence as they were all lost in their own thoughts about what they could do next. Rossi was looking through the pictures when he came across a certain one. Shelby and Jess were stood in the in the centre of the picture with their mother's arms wrapped tightly round them both. It looked like the three of them were in some type of woods with a tent to their right and what looked like the edge of a lake to their left. He turned it over and read what it said.
'Shelby (age 9), Jess (age 4) and mummy at Prince William Forest Park on family holiday'
"She looks so happy." Rossi stuck the single picture up on the pin board next to the picture of a brightly smiling JJ Garcia had from her office.
"Yeah she does. I don't understand how anyone could hurt someone so innocent." Emily said from her seat.
Although none of them would admit it they had never really had the old JJ back. She was getting there but still had a way to go. But this was going to push her further away from them and it would talk even longer to find her again.
"Baby girl did you find anything in JJ phone records?" Morgan asked Garcia as he pulled her into a comforting hug.
"No, there was nothing out of the normal. I'm sorry."
"You have nothing to be sorry for Garcia. Can you find me JJ's mothers address please; I want to talk to her." Hotch checked the time on his watch "Emily, if she doesn't live to far away I want you to come with me to talk to her."
"Why don't you do it over the phone? It'll take less time." Reid asked.
"Because we can't make a profile of her and tell if she's lying over the phone."
Right ok." Reid went back to reading the file in front of him again.
"While were gone I want the rest of you to do what ever you can, even the smallest bit of information could help, also get things ready for a press conference. If we can't get anything of Alice then we'll do it when Emily and I get back."
"She lives at the same address Hotch." Garcia said still tapping away at her computer "And I've just sent it to your phones."
"Ok. We will be back in the morning and keep in contact all of you."
Without another word Hotch and Emily left the room and headed for the car park.
After a while JJ gave up screaming and shouting for help and fell into a light fearful sleep waking whenever she heard a noise. After what felt like hours and most likely was she was woken by hard shoes knocking against cold hard floor. JJ pulled her knees up to her chest to try and protect herself from what ever was about to come. The foot steps were getting closer and closer until they stopped.
JJ saw his cold hard eyes staring down on her threw the metal bars that made up the door.
"Well good Morning Kitten."
If JJ thought things were bad now they were about to get a whole lot worse. JJ sent a silent pray to whoever could hear, she needed her team to find her before she breaks.
A/N that was painfully short so i will give you another one later today, well i'll try to.
REVIEW and get my muse working faster she is a little stuck at the minute...
