Hey everyone! Thanks soooo much for all the reviews! Here's the newest chapter. Let me know what you think!

CHAPTER THREE

Right at 1:30 in the morning, Morgan was knocking on Liam's office door.

"Come in." Liam himself answered the door.

"Where is she?" Morgan asked looking around for her.

"First, the rest of my money." Liam sat down behind his desk.

"You'll get it when I get her." Liam glared at him but nodded.

"She hasn't arrived back yet. The girls don't always get back right on time so I give them a 15 minute leeway." Liam gestured to the chairs in front of his desk. "Please, take a seat." Morgan sat down in the offered chair and they waited.

1:45 rolled around and still no word from Lily.

Finally, a little after two, there was a tentative knock on the door.

"Come in!" Liam bellowed. He was beyond pissed and Morgan could see that. He knew he'd have to do something before this man does.

Slowly the door opened and Lily walked in. She held her head down and shut the door.

"Where the hell have you been?" Morgan yelled at her. She just kept her head down.

"I'm sorry." She mumbled.

"If you're told a specific time, I expect you to be here. I don't know how he ran things," he gestured to Liam. "But I won't allow it. And I have my own ways of beating it out of you." Morgan stood up. He threw down the rest of the money he owed to Liam on his desk; he didn't care about the profit he was to get. Turning to Lily he grabbed her elbow and pulled her out of the office.

"Where are your things?" He asked. Lily pointed to a backpack by the front door.

"Let's go." Morgan grabbed her bag and kept pulling her until they reached the car.

Opening her door, he pushed her into the front seat. As he walked around he could see Liam watching out of his office window. Climbing in to the SUV he turned to Lily and slapped her across the face.

Lily gasped and held her hand to her face.

"Next time you say you're going to be some place at a certain time, I expect to you be there at that time!" Morgan yelled at her while starting the truck and pulling away.

Liam closed the curtain with a grin on his face.

Once they were a couple miles away Morgan pulled over into a vacant parking lot of a shopping plaza.

"I'm sorry. Liam was watching so I had to do something. Let me see." His tone of voice completely different than a few minutes ago. He pulled her hand down from her face. Even in the dark Morgan could see the bright red hand print across her cheek.

"Damn! I didn't mean to do it that hard. As soon as we get back to the hotel I'll get you some ice to put on that." Lily didn't say anything. Morgan turned the truck around and headed towards the hotel.

Twenty minutes later he was parking at the hotel.

"Come on. Let's get you some ice for that." Morgan grabbed her bag for her and got out of the truck. Lily followed behind him.

"We're on the eleventh floor; I hope you don't mind elevators." Morgan tried to joke as they walked into the elevator. Lily didn't react. She was too busy worrying about seeing the others again and the pain on her face.

Soon the elevator pinged and the doors opened.

"I wanna stop and get you some ice first." Morgan headed towards the ice machine. He grabbed a bucket and filled it half way with ice.

"You're going to be staying with me in room 1142 but first we're going to Hotch and Reid's room."

Morgan knocked on the door reading 1144. A second later JJ opened the door.

"Finally! Hotch was getting ready to head out to find you guys." Morgan walked in and went straight to the bathroom to grab a towel to put the ice in; the girls followed.

"What happened?" JJ asked when Lily moved her hand to put the ice on her face.

"I hit her."

"You what?" Reid asked coming into the bathroom. Hotch was right behind him.

"I had to hit her. Liam was watching and before she arrived he was getting agitated because she was late. I'm sure if I wasn't there he'd have hit her himself. I had to play the part. I didn't mean to hit her that hard." Hotch pulled her hand away to look at it.

"You'll be fine. You'll probably be a little tender but there's no reason to make a big deal out of it. Now," He walked out of the bathroom and stood where everyone in the bedroom and the bathroom could hear and see him. "We have to catch a flight home at eight in the morning which means we are up at six. Everyone needs to go to bed."

"Will you be okay?" Reid asked Lily.

"Yeah." She whispered.

Prentiss, Rossi and JJ headed for the door.

"Goodnight everyone." Prentiss said.

"We should head to our room." Morgan said. Lily nodded.

"If you'd rather stay here you can." Reid offered.

"Reid! Come on." Hotch called out to Reid from the hallway.

"It's okay, I'll stay with Morgan." Lily gave Reid a smile.

"Okay, I'll see you in the morning."

"Come on baby." Morgan guided her out of the bathroom. As they passed Hotch, Lily took a chance and glanced up at him. She quickly adverts her eyes when she sees him glaring at her.

In the morning Lily woke up to a banging on the door.

"MORGAN! LILY! GET UP!" Hotch yelled through the door.

Groaning Morgan rolled out of bed and towards the door.

"We're up." He grumbled rubbing his eye and opening the door.

"Where is she?" Hotch asked looking over Morgan's shoulder. He could see Lily still in bed with her back to him. "LILY! Out of bed now!" He ordered. She still didn't move.

"Morgan we don't have time for this. Get her up and both of you need to be ready to leave in an hour." Hotch gave him one of his looks.

"We'll be there." Hotch then left and moved onto the next door to wake JJ and Prentiss up.

Two hours later the group was leaving the airport and heading to the hanger their private jet was located in. Once they arrived, everyone started boarding the plane.

"Reid, Morgan, hold back." Hotch stopped them from walking up the stairs to get on the plane. "I need to talk to Lily so I want you guys to give us some space while on the plane." He said pointedly towards Reid.

"No problem." Morgan nodded and walked onto the plane.

"What do you need to talk to her about?" Reid asked defensively.

"I have to talk to her about the case Reid. Why are you questioning me?" Hotch gave him one of his glares.

"I'm just looking out for her. All you guys seem to want to do is punish her; maybe with the exception of Morgan."

"Reid, if you want to make friends with her, that's your choice, though I'd highly advise against it. She's an informant and that's how she's going to be treated. I'm not going to give her any special treatment."

"I'm not asking you to. I just want her to be treated like a human being. You look at her like she's trash. She can't help the situation she got herself into."

"You don't know that." Hotch said trying to get Reid to understand.

"We're profilers Hotch. In the time I've spent with her, I can tell that this life isn't hers. She shows resentment toward what she does."

"She'll have to learn to hide it then. We're done discussing this." He finalized what he was saying by giving Reid a look then walking onto the plane.

Hotch headed towards the back of the plane to work on paperwork and Reid sat down next to Lily on one of the couch. Morgan and Emily were listening to their iPods, JJ was busy on the phone with another PD wanting the team to help them on a case, and Rossi was laid back with his eyes closed.

"How are you feeling?" Reid asked turning toward Lily.

"Nervous, kinda excited but that could just be the nerves." She tried to laugh.

"Don't be nervous. You know it's going undercover for us as a prostitute. Same thing you're doing here, except we need you to get some information for us.

"I'm not really that nervous about that. I'm more nervous about your boss." She turned and looked at Hotch. He was scowling at her, so she turned back around.

"Ignore him. I don't know why he's acting like this. He did say he wants to talk to you though."

"He does? Why?" Lily has an alarmed, worried look on her face.

"He needs to finish telling you the details of the case and tell you specifically what we're looking for."

"Can't you tell me that?"

"I could but he's the Unit Chief so it's his job." Reid shrugged. "He's not really that bad though. He likes to come across as a hard ass but like I said, he's not that bad."

"I just don't like guys like him, like that." Lily adverted her eyes from Reid's.

"What do you mean?"

"I've been around guys like that my entire life."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"I don't like talking about it but I feel like I can trust you." She looked around the plane again; everyone was still busy doing the same things. "Long story short, my parents are very religious and they found me lying down in bed with a boy. Even though we were just friends and we were watching a movie, they freaked out."

"But they're religious so they misinterpreted the situation."

"Exactly! I tried to explain everything to them but they told me to leave the house. I tried going back but they wouldn't listen to me. They said that no daughter of theirs was going to whore herself around. I had $273 and I wanted to get away so I bought a train ticket. It got me as far as Arizona and that's where I've been for the last year. Well, next month will be a year."

"That's not that long of a time period. I thought you'd been out here at least a couple of years."

"Is that a good thing?" Lily smiled.

"Yeah, you got lucky. Statistically, most girls are out there eight to nine years before they can even think of getting off the streets."

"I don't know if or when I would have been able to leave if you guys hadn't come around. Thank you for that by the way."

"No problem. I'm looking forward to working with you. I find you fascinating. I love the team but I can't really have intellectual conversations with them without having to explain myself every time. You understand me and challenge me. I find it intriguing." Reid grinned.

"Well thank you." Lily blushed.

"Tell me about yourself."

"Um," Lily froze up again. She looked around the plane. No one seemed to be paying attention to them. Everyone was either sleeping or listening to their iPod with the exception of Hotch. He looked to be on a business call.

"You pretty much know everything." She shrugged.

"What kind of music do you like? Movies? Books?"

"Music is country, definitely! I can listen to anything but I prefer country. I'm not huge on TV. I like all 'The Mummy' movies, 'Fast & Furious' movies and 'National Treasure' movies. That's it really. Books, I love to read!" Lily had a huge grin on her face. "I used to tell people I like historical novels, but that was only partly true. I'm not a girly girl or a tomboy. I'm right in the middle. I hate to admit it but my favorite kinda books are historical romance novels." She put her head in her hands and blushed.

"There's nothing wrong with that. I've read a few. They're definitely for girls so I don't enjoy them that much. My mom used to teach literature. I can see if she has any classics she can recommend for you."

"Really? That'd be great! Back home my friend and I had read all the historical romance novels at our town library. They even knew us by name. It was kinda bad." They both laughed.

About that time Hotch walked over.

"Lily, can I talk to you in the back please?"

She glanced at Reid. He nodded and smiled.

Lily followed Hotch to the back of the plane.

"Sit down." He pointed to the chair across the table from him. She did as she was told. "We've told you the basics of what you have to do. Now I'm going to tell you everything. After we land and everything is in order, Morgan's going to take you to an apartment we've rented. You'll spend the night there. Then the next afternoon he'll take you to McCaid. You will have to do anything you can to get him to let you into his group of girls. This is a matter of national security. He's smuggling girls, drugs, and most importantly weapons into the country. We can prove he's smuggling girls and drugs but we can't prove he's smuggling weapons. That's what we want to catch him on. He's one of the top guys in the IRA from Ireland. You'll still be a prostitute except now your objective is to get information. Don't worry about money. Your apartment will be paid for by the FBI. You will need money to survive though so keep that in mind. We're going to have random meetings as well. You won't know when or where they'll be but it'll be either with Reid, Morgan or me. Any questions or concerns yet?"

"How dangerous is this guy?"

"If he finds out you're an informant, very dangerous, he'll kill you. If you keep your mouth shut and cover your tracks, you'll be fine."

"You guys didn't wanna try to send in one of your own agents? Why trust someone like me?"

"We did, he killed them."

Lily's eyes widened and mouthed an 'Oh'. "Anything else I need to know?"

"If you turn on us or back out on your own accord, you'll be arrested and charged with prostitution and anything else I can get you on." Hotch glared at her. "Understand?"

"Yes." She nodded hesitantly.

"When we land, before Morgan takes you to the apartment, you'll come with the team back to Quantico. You'll meet with the Section Chief Director Erin Strauss. She wants to talk to you." Lily nodded.

"Are we done now?" She asked timidly.

"No, I want you to tell me how you're going to get McCaid to accept you."

"I was just going to wait and see what he wants." She shrugged.

"That's unacceptable. You need to have a plan. If you don't have one you need to say so." He barked at her.

"I don't have one." She shied away.

"Think of one. You'll have to tell me and Strauss when we get there." With that he got up and went back to the desk he was sitting at earlier and Lily went back to sitting next to Reid.

"Everything okay?" He asked setting his book down.

"Yeah. I have to meet with your Section Chief and your boss said that I have to have a plan for how I'm going to get McCaid to let me into his group."

"You don't have an idea?"

"All those kinda guys are different. I've seen different ones at Liam's. I won't know what he's like until I meet him. I could come up with a plan based off of what I've heard about him but it might not be what I actually do. It depends on him. You know what I mean?"

Reid nodded. "Explain that to Hotch and Strauss when you have your meeting."

"Do you think they'll understand?"

"Yes."

The meeting with Strauss went over well. Lily was scared and nervous but she did well. Strauss approved of her. She signed some waivers saying that the FBI will not be held responsible if something happens to her out there. She was warned time and time again that she is to have no contact with anyone except for McCaid and his people.

After the meeting Morgan took her to the apartment. It was a hole in the wall. It was so dirty and disgusting she told him she'd rather sleep on the street. There were bugs and rats in the room also. He told her that she is to sleep here and not move residences unless it's to move in with McCaid's other girls.

Before Morgan left for the night, he gave her a couple hundred bucks. As soon as he left she went to the local grocery store and bought some cleaning products and then spent the night cleaning and thinking about how she was going to handle the next day.

Around one in the afternoon Morgan showed up to take her to McCaid.

"Are you ready?" He looked around and noticed that she cleaned.

"Yep." She grabbed her purse.

She followed him out to a pimped out Escalade. She laughed.

"You guys had to stereotype the role didn't you?"

"What are you talking about?"

"The truck. Could you scream pimp any louder?" She laughed.

"We did our research. It's what most the guys in Miami drive. By the way, instead of being from Scottsdale, you're from Miami." They climbed into the truck. "And this time my name is Joe Edwards. And Garcia put in a fake background for you. While undercover your name will be Sally Adams."

"Okay. Anything else?"

"We're going to try to meet up with you after two to three weeks, unless we're out on a case, then we'll meet up with you when we get back."

"Okay."

"How are you feeling?"

"Nervous, especially since your boss told me the last people that went in here undercover were killed."

"Don't worry about that. They'll be outside and I'll be inside. I have a gun on me. That's normal for someone in my position anyways so they won't be surprised."

"Oh good." She said sarcastically.

The rest of the drive went by in silence.

"Here goes everything." Lily said climbing out of the SUV once they reached the strip club where McCaid spent his time during the day.

"What can I do for you?" A man at the front door asked.

"I'm here to talk to McCaid about doing some business." Morgan nodded behind him to Lily.

The man looked Lily over. "We're not hiring right now."

"Come on man. I came all the way up here from Miami. At least give me a chance to meet him and let him see what she has to offer."

"No, but if you want to go down the road and try 'Happy's', you might have better luck there. It's about a mile down on the left."

"They're hiring?" Morgan verified he was catching the man's subtle message.

"That's the kind of place for you and your girl."

"Thanks man." They left and headed in the direction of Happy's.

"Hotch, he's not here. We're going down to a strip club called 'Happy's'."

"Okay, take your time. He's probably called McCaid by now to let him know you're on your way. I want to try to get us repositioned around the building before you guys get there."

"Okay." Morgan ended the call.

Ten minutes later Morgan was pulling into the parking lot of Happy's. When they got to the door they were let in right away.

"I'm here to talk to McCaid." He told the man that let them in.

"I'll take you to him." They followed the man upstairs to a private sitting area. When they walked in they saw about ten men and a couple of girls scattered around the room. "Mr. McCaid, visitors." The man pointed behind him.

"What can I do for you?" McCaid asked Morgan.

"I was hoping we could do some business." Morgan nodded to Lily again. Same as the last guy, McCaid checked her out.

"Why should I hire her?"

"She knows what she's doing. Look at her she's smoking hot. I made close to a thousand off of her a week but that was because she only worked three nights a week. And she's young. She'll help pull in the younger guys."

"How old is she? She looks like she's twelve."

"She's seventeen right now. She'll be eighteen in a couple of months. I had no problem with her age when she was in Miami. She knows how to disappear when cops show up. She's never been caught or questioned."

"She's too young." He waved them away. The man that brought them in started to escort them out.

"Wait man, can't we discuss this?"

"There's nothing to discuss."

"I can show you what I can do." Lily stepped up.

"Show me? How?" He asked skeptically.

"What do you want me to do?"

"Simon," He pointed to a man across the room. "Let's see you in action."

Lily knew it would be difficult to perform in a room full of people but she was up for the challenge. "Okay." She walked over to the man named Simon. She looked him in the eye and kept eye contact with him as she bent down. She quickly undid his belt and jeans and got to work. Within no time Simon was finished.

"That was less than three minutes." Morgan told McCaid while shaking his head in shame at Simon.

"What is your name?" He asked Morgan.

"Edwards, Joe Edwards." Morgan held his hand out for McCaid to shake. McCaid just looked at him as though he was beneath him.

"And your name?" McCaid turned to Lily. She was back to standing behind Morgan.

"Rose."

"Your real name?" He cocked his head to the side.

She pretended to look nervous and glanced at Morgan. "It's Sally Adams."

Neither Morgan nor Lily missed the man sneaking out of the room, presumably to run their background checks.

"Mr. Edwards, how much are you looking to sell your girl for?"

"Well she's obviously very good. How about twenty thousand?" Morgan knew it was way over priced but he knew he had to look ignorant.

McCaid laughed. "Get real. I wouldn't buy any girl for that amount of money."

"How about fifteen?"

"Try ten."

"Cash?" Morgan asked.

"Of course." The man that left the room returned and nodded to McCaid.

"Deal."

"Let me go get the money." McCaid nodded to a man standing by the door.

A few minutes later the man arrived with a duffle bag he dropped at Morgan's feet.

"There's your money. Count it if you like." Morgan bent down and opened the bag. He quickly sifted through the money to check for transmitters. He didn't find any but that doesn't mean there still isn't one somewhere in the bag.

"It looks good. I trust you." He stood back up. He shook hands with McCaid.

"Nice doing business with you."

"Same here." Morgan grinned. He then turned and left the room leaving Lily behind with McCaid and his men. He felt bad to leave her with such men but he knew it was the job.

He went out to his truck, threw the money in the back seat and headed to a hotel on the bad side of town. He didn't want to go anywhere near Quantico in case there was a tracker. He'd seen Hotch following a few car lengths back. He guessed the others must have gone back to Quantico. Once he got to the hotel he dumped everything out of the bag. Once everything was out of the bag, he found a tracker on the bottom between the material of the bag. He didn't find anything else, but he wasn't going to stop until he checked each individual bill himself.

A couple hours later he was done. He left the bag behind and put the money in the trash bags from the hotel. He then put them in the truck and took off to Quantico.

"Is there anyone following me?" He called Hotch knowing that he'd been watching.

"No one. You can do a few turns if you like."

"Okay, see you in a few."

A couple weeks later Lily was getting home from a long night of working. McCaid was making her work every night and the men out here were a lot more physical. She felt exhausted.

The first thing she did when she got in was take a shower. She couldn't stand the feel of those men on her any longer then she had to. Once she got out she dried herself off then walked to her dresser in her room.

She didn't notice someone else in the room until he spoke.

"Hurry up and get dressed we have business to discuss."

She jumped and screamed before turning around. Hotch was sitting at her desk.

"Holy shit! You scared me to death!" She yelled at him. She adjusted her towel to make sure it was closed.

"Get dressed." He told her again. She grabbed some clothes then went in the bathroom to change.

"Found out anything yet?" He asked as soon as she left the bathroom.

"No. He only talks to me about how much money he wants me to bring him that night, how many "John's" I should be averaging. Just prostitution stuff."

"He hasn't introduced you to any of his girls? Taken you to his house?"

"No." She hung her head.

"Those are the kind of things I told you to get done by our first meeting." He scolded her.

"I know. I'm still trying to get a feel for him. I promise, by our next meeting I'll have done that. I'm trying."

"Not hard enough." He stood up and left her apartment. She felt bad; him and his team had saved her, even though she's doing the same thing now, she still felt saved. They'd given her a place to stay, which she didn't have before. She felt like she was letting them down, especially Hotch. She would give anything to get him to like her. Next time, she'd be sure to have what he wanted and more. Hopefully that would please him.
