I do not own Criminal Minds

Four weeks since the team had come home, and almost two months since Emily had been captured, the team got their first big case. JJ called the team and they all joined in the conference room. She already had the computer set up.

"You guys have probably already heard about this on the news," JJ started. The string of murders that they were about to investigate had been committed in their own backyard. "There have been three bodies and another has gone missing in four weeks. All of them have been women ranging in ages from 15 to 30. All of them were athletic and brunette"

"Three bodies and another missing in four weeks?" Morgan asked. "That's considerably faster than usual."

"The first two bodies were found 18 days apart and the third was found 11 days later." JJ informed them. "Another girl went missing 5 days ago."

"And they just called us in now?" Emily asked incredulously, "He is taking less time in between murders. This girl doesn't have that much longer."

"Then we better get working." Rossi said.

JJ filled them in on the rest of the information that they had regarding the case.

"Reid, I want you to start a geographic profile. Rossi, go speak with the family of the girl that is missing now. Morgan, talk to the family of the first victim. JJ and Emily talk to the family of the second victim. I am going to speak with the family of the third victim and then I am going to get caught up with the local Leo's on the crime scenes." Hotch passed out jobs.

JJ and Emily got up and left the office to drive to the house. When they were in the car Emily looked over to JJ. "Jayje… was there any sexual assault on the victims?" She had to know.

"Yes. They were raped and there were also signs of other forms of sexual assault." JJ said, wishing those words didn't have to come out of her mouth.

Emily clutched her hands into a ball, jamming her jagged fingernails into her palm. She took a deep breath in and gazed out the window as she let it out.

"Em, are you going to be okay?" JJ asked concerned.

"We need to get going." Emily replied, ignoring the question.

JJ turned the car on and they drove the rest of the way in silence. Emily couldn't help but imagine what that bastard was doing to that young woman now. Finally they arrived at the house and they stepped out of the SUV.

"These are the Myers. Their daughters name was Sasha. She was 15." JJ reminded Emily as they walked to the door.

"God, this isn't right." Emily said as she knocked on the door.

A women, not older than 40, opened the door for them.

"Hello ma'am. You must be Mrs. Myers?" JJ asked.

The woman nodded at them.

"I'm Agent Jennifer Jareau from the FBI and this is Agent Emily Prentiss. We would like to talk to you about your daughter."

"Please come in." Mrs. Myers stepped out of the doorway and led them to the couches in the living room. "And please, call me Sarah."

"Sarah, I am so sorry for your loss," Emily said as she sat down, "Could you tell us about your daughter Sasha?"

Sarah's eyes misted over at the sound of her daughter's name. "She was a wonderful girl. She was just a sophomore in high school." Sarah's voice broke.

"It's okay, just take it slow." JJ soothed.

Sarah composed herself a little bit, and then continued, "She was on the JV soccer team. She loved school. She didn't have straight A's, but she tried her hardest. She always tried her hardest at everything she did."

"Where was she when she disappeared?" Emily asked softly.

"She was going on a run. She wanted to stay in shape outside of the soccer season."

"Does she usually go on runs alone?" JJ asked.

"Sometimes her friend Nicole goes with her, but a lot of the time it is alone. If only I wouldn't have let her go. We were going over to my families, but I let her run first. If only I hadn't let her…" Sarah cried.

"Sarah, you can't blame yourself for what happened. None of this is your fault." Emily tried to comfort her.

Suddenly they heard a sound coming down the stairs; they looked up and saw a man.

"That's my husband," Sarah said, "His name is Chris."

"Who are you?" Chris asked as he came down stairs.

"I'm Jennifer Jareau, and this is Emily Prentiss. We are with the FBI." JJ took out her credential to show him.

"Why are you here?" He demanded.

"We are trying to find the man who did this to your daughter." Emily explained, "He has another girl right now."

"Now? You're coming now? Why didn't you come while Sasha was still alive? You didn't do anything while he had her!" He yelled at them.

"I'm sorry Mr. Myers," JJ said, "We just got called in on this case."

"I know there was a girl before Sasha, why didn't you come then? Why didn't you save my baby?" He cried.

"I'm sorry. We are going to do whatever we can to catch the person who did this." Emily assured him.

"I want you out of my house now!" He commanded.

"Please Mr. Myers we just need to ask you a few more questions." JJ tried to reason.

"No! It's too late. You didn't help find my daughter and now she is dead. I want you out now!"

Emily and JJ both made their way to the front door. Emily took out her card with her numbers on it and slipped it to Sarah, "Call me if you want to talk, we need your help to catch whoever did this." Emily whispered under her breath as she gave it to her.

Sarah gave a slight nod, and the two women left the house. They got in the car and JJ immediately pulled out of the driveway, they could see Mr. Myers watching through the window.

Emily put her head in her hands as they drove back to the BAU. She couldn't keep what he had said out of her mind. When they pulled into the BAU the women silently got out of the car and walked to their office. When they entered they were met by Hotch and another man.

"This is Officer Orthright; he is in charge of these murders." Hotch introduced them, "This is Jennifer Jareau and Emily Prentiss."

"It's JJ," JJ told him.

Emily just glared at him. What Mr. Myers said to her continued to run through her head.

"Why didn't you call us in earlier?" Emily asked hardly.

"We weren't sure that the murders were connected until the third one happened." He tried to explain.

"And it didn't occur to you to call us in sooner? After you found the third body and knew they were connected, or perhaps after the fourth girl went missing? This girl has been missing for five days already!"

"We didn't think we needed-" Emily cut him off before he could finish.

"You didn't think you needed what? You didn't think you needed our help? Thought you could do it on your own? What do you think he is doing to that girl right now because of you ignorance? Because of you idiocy-" Emily shouted at him, until Hotch cut her off.

"Prentiss. Here, now." He demanded, walked to the other side of the room.

She reluctantly followed him.

"What the hell was that?" He angrily asked, "We do not treat the people we are working with like that."

"Hotch, if they would have called us sooner, we could have gotten this guy already!" She argued back.

"You don't think I don't know that? But it has never been acceptable to speak that way. It stops cooperation and you know that. Now get out of my sight while I try to smooth this over." Hotch ordered her.

Emily fumed with anger, but she knew there was nothing left to do. She watched Hotch walk over to the officer and talk to him. It disgusted her. She walked over to the bathroom and stared in the mirror. She could see the anger in her own eyes, and it scared her. She turned on the faucet and caught water in her hands. She splashed her face with it, hoping to cool it down. Her cheeks were flaming red. She put her hands on either side of the sink and bent her head down trying to cool herself off. She brought in a shaky breath and slowly let it out. She didn't hear the door open behind her.

"Emily," JJ said.

"JJ don't," Emily pleaded staying in the same position. "I already got a lecture."

"I'm not here to lecture you Em. You should know me better than that. I want to know what's going on."

"I'm scaring myself JJ." Emily said looking up. "God I just got so angry. I know what that girl is going through, and I can't stand doing nothing about it."

"We aren't doing nothing." JJ tried to assure her.

"She's already been there 5 days. Even if we find her… She'll never forget what happened to her."

"She might not, but we can still help her."

Emily took another big breath in; this time it wasn't quite as shaky. She took a paper towel and wiped off her face.

"How mad is Hotch?" Emily asked, cringing while she waited for the answer.

"He was able to smooth it over nicely, so that should help." JJ told her.

Emily nodded.

JJ starting to walk for the door but Emily stopped her, "Jayje?"

"Yeah?" She looked back to Emily.

"I have a doctor's appointment after work tomorrow… I'm seeing the ultrasound… and…" Emily trailed off.

"I'll be there." JJ said smiling up at Emily.

"Thank you."

"Like I said Emily, I'm here for you for everything, no matter what."
