Reid sat on the edge of his seat, he usually felt relaxed on the jet but he began to wonder if he'd ever feel relaxed again. He knew that Emily was Doyle's stressor so he'd take his time with her; it meant they had a better chance of finding her alive… but also a better chance of her being tortured.

"She threw a flash-bang grenade into a car? She's lucky the three people in the car didn't die. Isn't anyone else bothered by that?"

"As illegal as it is her best chance of surviving is being as ruthless as Doyle and Prentiss knows that" Hotch said from where he was standing behind Rossi and Seaver.

"Doyle came to the US to wage a public vendetta and hired a group of mercenaries to remain loyal to him. She's the only person who knows what he's truly capable of… she did the only logical thing" Reid said quietly from where he sat in the corner seat slightly away from the group.

"By trying to kill three people?" Morgan countered.

"By acting like she has nothing to lose. Doyle doesn't have anything to go back to- whether he makes it out alive doesn't matter to him. It only matters to finish the job in hand" Rossi said, Morgan looked at him then raised his eyebrows and went back to studying the folder in his hand. He'd been distant since he'd found out Emily had been hiding her past and when he did say anything it came out angry.

The briefing continued but Reid didn't pay much attention, sometimes he'd hear something that would catch his attention and drag him back to reality but he soon drifted off again. It just didn't feel real.

"So, if Emily's team weren't the ones to make the arrest how did they know about JTF-12?" Rossi said and sat up a little. Reid rubbed his eyes in his best attempt to pay attention and looked to JJ for the answer.

"Given the shadowy nature of terrorist cells, JTF-12 infiltrated to build a stronger profile" JJ replied.

"Who was undercover on the Doyle case?" Hotch questioned.

"Emily" she replied, quieter this time. "She posed as a weapons dealer to get information on Valhalla" JJ put a few photos on the table in front of her; they were all of her undercover as Lauren Reynolds.

"Look at how she's dressed, she looks awfully comfortable" Morgan said as he flicked through the photos. Rossi glanced at him then looked over at Reid who was gritting his teeth so he didn't say something he shouldn't.

"How close did she get to Doyle as part of her cover?" Hotch said, he had already guessed the answer but he had to ask.

"Part of the background checks they did on Doyle was on past relationships…" JJ replied and sucked a breath in. "Emily was his type" She said and sighed, she really hadn't wanted to have said it.

Reid run a hand through his hair and gave it a short, sharp tug then stood up and walked towards the jet's bathroom.

"Reid" Hotch called.

"Just give me a minute" he quickly replied and shut the bathroom door behind him. They were making her out to be something she wasn't; he knew she'd never sleep with someone just for a profile. He knew her better than all of them, she was better than that. He sighed, turned the faucet on and let the water gush out. He took a handful of water and rubbed it over his face, feeling the cool drops slide across his face before he grabbed a paper towel and wiped the moisture off.

He sucked in a deep breath then stepped out into the main part of the jet, everyone's eyes were trained on him and he realized he had been there conversation while in the bathroom.

"We're landing in 5" Hotch said quietly as Reid sat down in the corner and ran a hand through his hair again. Reid didn't care when they landed, he just wanted Emily to be there when they did.
