Just as the clock struck 9am a very exhausted Hotch and Emily walked into the round table room and sat in two of the remaining chairs. They drove most of the night to get back to the BAU only stopping at a motel for a few hours sleep.

By the looks of all the other team members that hadn't had much rest either if any at all.

"Any new leads since we spoke to you on the phone last?" Hotch asked.

"No." Morgan ran a hand over his head.

"What did Alice Merrick have to say?" Rossi asked with his coffee in his hands.

Emily grunted under her breath and received concerned looks from all the team members other than Hotch.

"What is it Cupcake?" Garcia stopped typing on her laptop and rested her hand onto of Emily's.

"It doesn't matter." Emily said moving her hand from under Garcia's. She knew that with that one movement she had hurt Garcia but at that moment in time she didn't care. She was focusing on not breaking down again.

"Em…?" Reid said from her other side.

"She doesn't even care!" Tears filled Emily's eyes as her voice grew louder, she was unable to stop the emotion "She said that JJ deserved it!" Emily got up from her seat and almost ran out of the room.

Rossi, Reid, Morgan and Garcia looked at Emily's empty seat, then the door and finally Hotch.

"What was that all about?" Morgan asked standing up getting ready to go after Emily. He stopped when Garcia grabbed his arm.

"I'll go handsome. Stay here." Garcia wiped her tear filled eyes and walked out ready to find her other best friend. She had already lost one and was struggling to deal with that, she couldn't loose another one.

Penelope walked into the ladies bathroom to find Emily leaning up against the far wall with her head in her hands.

"Em?" Garcia took the last few strides and pulled Emily into her arms. Emily cried onto Garcia's shoulder for a few minutes before pulling away.

"What happened Sweet cheeks?" Garcia asked wiping the tears of Emily's face. It broke her heart to see the strong woman break down. It only indicated how close the three women actually were.

Emily took a deep breath.

"She said that JJ deserved everything she gets and everything he did to her."

"What?" Garcia put her hand over her mouth as tears slipped down her face.

"Yeah. Then 'everyone has to do things they don't like' and she called JJ a nasty whore." More tears escaped Emily's eyes.

"No…" Garcia whispered.

"If Hotch wasn't there I would have rang her neck. That woman's JJ's mother Pen. I don't understand how you could think that of your own child." Garcia pulled Emily into a tight embrace again "Oh god, what is he doing to her Pen?" Emily sobbed as did Garcia. They needed to let out the tension and fear so they could concentrate on finding JJ.

Garcia and Emily held each other and cried until Emily pulled back and grabbed some tissue.

"C'mon" She handed the tissue to a tear stained Garcia "Let's go find our Jayje."

Garcia nodded and they held each others hands as they walked back. They needed to feel each others presents and strength to get through this and they were going to do whatever they could to help the other.

Just as they walked into the bullpen Anderson tapped Emily on the shoulder.

"Urm…Agent Prentiss."

Emily turned round and let go of Garcia's hand. She didn't care that her eyes were red and puffy or that she had wiped all her makeup of with her tears.

"Yes?"

"This was delivered to security at the front gate." He handed over a brown envelope which had BAU written on the front. Emily and Garcia looked at the parcel and then each other before running off to the round table room.

"Hotch, man what's going on?" Morgan sat back down after Garcia ran out the room after Emily.

Hotch looked round the room to see all the male members of the team staring at him.

"It didn't go as well as I'd planned."

"Right, what happened?" Rossi lent forward and rested his elbows on the table.

"JJ's mother said she didn't know where Walt would take JJ." He rubbed his hand threw his hair and over his tired face after he let out a sigh "The conversation ended with her yelling that she though JJ disserved everything that happened to her as a child and everything Walt is doing now before she slammed the door in our faces."

"Are you serious." Morgan banged his fists against the table.

"Yeah. Emily didn't take it very well, didn't say a word all the way back."

"Their both struggling with JJ missing." Rossi said.

"We all are." Hotch said to Rossi and looked over the other side of the room where Reid was staring at the table looking scared and shocked trying to process what he had just been told. Morgan by now was stood up and pacing the room trying to get a hold on his anger.

"What else did Mrs Merrick say?" Rossi asked just talking to Hotch now as it was obvious that Morgan and Reid were dealing with inner demons.

"Not much. He turned up a few weeks after the incident at Horizon to grab some of his things and she hasn't seen anything of him since."

"She didn't think to call the police when he turned up?" Reid asked listening to the older men talk. Hotch and Rossi looked up to see that Morgan was no longer pacing and Reid was taking notes.

"No, she said it didn't cross her mind."

Morgan let out an angry growl.

"What about how they met, it might help." Reid asked scribbling notes on the paper.

"They met at a bar she worked at just after he left the Marines."

Before anyone could say anything about what Hotch just told them Emily and Garcia ran into the room.

"Anderson just gave this to us." Emily put the package on the table "He said someone left it at the security gates."

Hotch picked it up and opened it. He tipped the items onto the table.

Garcia gasped as she put her head in her hands and silently sobbed when she saw the pictures that fell out and scattered in front of them all. Every one of the remaining team members struggled to look at them.

In every picture JJ was tied to a concrete wall. They were either showing the damage that had been caused to JJ and her body or they were of her being beaten by Walt. One of them showed his hands wrapped tightly round her throat and her face going purple. Another showed JJ standing there on weak knees with bruises covering what they could see of her body, and blood dripping down from her hair line. It was when they reached the last picture of the pile that all their hearts seemed to stop and tears fill Morgan's, Reid's and Emily's eyes.

It was the picture of Walt kissing JJ and the single tear running down her bruised cheek.

A/N please let me know what you all think and i love you all.
