Chapter 17
I don't own Criminal Minds. Thanks for the reviews which are making me continue my epic story. Thanks you guys all are epic! Also the last chapter had the 10 thousand word in it. Thank you guys for reading it this far!
Morgan, Hotch, Rossi and JJ were in the sheriff's office. "So my mom, Will and Henry are all at risk. I have to warn them." JJ panicked as she didn't know where Henry (her son) and Will (her husband) were. They were the two most important people in her life. She would never forgive herself if anything happened to them. She wouldn't forgive herself if anything happened to Reid and Garcia. She hated herself for not going with Morgan and Garcia to find Reid. Maybe there would have been a different outcome. If she kept thinking those thoughts it would tear up from the inside. She would be no good for anyone.
Hotch worked out there was 20 people who could possibly be taken. He already knew for sure 3 were taken (Reid, Garcia and Blake) but he didn't know whether anyone else had been taken. "What shall we do, Aaron?" Rossi asked. Two phones started buzzing, JJ's and Hotch's. They picked up their phones almost in unison and answered them. On JJ's it was Will and on Hotch's it was Jessica.
Both calls ended a same with crying from both parents. It was rare to see Hotch so emotional. Obviously Henry and Jack had been taken.
JJ went into self-destruct mode. How could anyone take her baby? Why would they? There were more but she couldn't bare her darling son being taken away. She decided she would be no good to the team like this. She knew Hotch would work doubly as hard because outside of work Jack was his life. He couldn't bear to lose him. She made her way to the new hotel the team was staying in. The previous one was considered too unsafe because Alex had been stabbed and kidnapped from there. She was standing at the front of the hotel when he saw her. It was ideal timing. No-one would suspect her missing until it was too late and she was completely isolated. He thought.
Hotch was on a mission… to find his son. He didn't know what to do. He had Kevin trying to hack into phone signals to try and track where the phone call came from but so far he couldn't track anything. Kevin was a novice compared to Garcia (the Genius sensei) and he was supposed to be the second best in the F.B.I. He dreaded to think what the 10th best was like. He had Morgan and Rossi looking again at the crime scenes where Garcia and Blake had been taken. He, himself, had been trying to make a profile but the ways the agents had been taken had all been different. He had Kevin look over the footage with recognition software. He found there was more than one unsub. This either meant one of two things, a terrorism cell or a pair of unsubs. He knew it had to be more than two unsubs as it wouldn't be possible to get to New York and Quantico at the same time and make sure the other captives didn't run away. This was bad. If there was a whole group of people after the F.B.I. This could only be bad. He had to tell the team. He had to tell the press. He had to tell the sheriff. But he couldn't cause widespread panic. This could only mean bad things!
