Chapter 4

Without waiting for the other men, Emily opens the door. She steps inside a small dark room with walls and floor made of concrete. The agent in her kicks in and she brings out her flashlight to scan the room. In the corner she spots something and moves closer. The light hits a figure with blond hair. Emily rushes to JJ's side and prays that she is alive.

"Emily, what is it?" Hotch and Reid reach the room and see her standing over JJ. Quickly Hotch pulls his phone out and calls for a ambulance. Reid pulls his out as well, probably to call Morgan and Rossi.

"Come on, come on, come on JJ" Emily's hand finds JJ's pulse point and she makes contact. The pulse is weak and slow, but it's there.

"Hotch, where is that ambulance, we need it NOW! She's alive!" Emily looks at Hotch with a terrified look. They have found her, but they could still lose her.

Hotch leaves the room to meet the EMT's, while Reid is still on the phone. Emily repositions herself so that JJ is lying warm and safe in her arms. The blond haired agent is unconscious and looks fragile. Emily is stroking her hair and whispers sweet words, more to calm herself, than the agent in her arms.

"My angel" Emily stops, what was that? She thought she heard JJ talk. Her mind must be playing tricks with her. Then she hears it again. "My angel." She looks down, JJ's eyes are still closed and her mouth is barely moving.

"It's okay JJ. I'm here, you are safe." Emily repeats those two phrases over and over again until the paramedics reach them.

Everything that happened after that was in a blur for Emily. When the paramedics arrived, JJ was loaded on to the gurney and into the ambulance. Emily had quickly followed and sat next to JJ and held her hand. She wanted to, no she needed to let JJ know that she was safe.

When they drove off to the hospital, she began stroking the other agent's hair again. She held JJ's hand until the reached the hospital and she had to let go.

Hotch and Reid drove in a SUV after the ambulance, and arrived shortly after Emily and joined her in the waiting room.

"Hotch?" Emily began softly, "does Nathan and Cindy know?" Emily had met Nathan and Cindy Jareau and she wanted JJ's parents to hear about their daughter from one of the team members rather than having to hear it on the news.

"No, I haven't even thought of that." Hotch looked sad, "what kind of team leader does that make me?"

"Hey, don't beat yourself up over this. We've all been busy trying to find her, and that was our main focus." Reid looked sincerely at his boss.

"Hotch, Reid is right. But we need to inform the Jareaus." Emily stood form her seat. "I'll call them right now."

Hotch nodded, "can you tell them that the jet will be waiting for them at Quantico with Garcia to take them here?"

With that Emily pulled out her phone and walked outside to get some privacy while making a very difficult phone call.

"Garcia speaking"

"Garcia, it's Hotch. We got her."

"OMG! Sir, is she okay?" Hotch could hear the other agent sobbing through the phone.

"I don't know yet Garcia. The jet is heading back to Quantico right now, to pick up JJ's parents. If you want to, you can join them."

"Thank you Sir! I will see you when we land in New Orleans!" With that the tech analyst hang up.

"Okei Emily. Come on, you can do this! You owe this much to Nathan and Cindy!" After finishing her little pep talk to her self, Emily raised her phone and dialed the number.

"Nathan Jareau speaking"

"Hello Mr. Jareau. It's Emily Prentiss calling."

"Oh, hi Emily! It's good to hear from you. Is everything all right?"

"No, Sir. I think you need to find your wife and sit down." Emily could hear the muffled sounds of Nathan speaking to his wife and siting down.

"Emily, you need to tell me what's going on!" The profiler could hear the fear and desperation in the older mans voice.

"Mr. Jareau, Sir. As you may or may not know we are on a case in New Orleans. Earlier this morning when we were out interviewing witnesses our UnSub abducted JJ."

"WHAT? JJ is missing? And why are we hearing about this NOW? Why weren't we informed earlier?" Nathan screams through the phone.

"Mr. Jareau, I am so sorry that you were not informed. When we discovered that JJ was missing our minds were only setting on finding her. I am so sorry that we did not call you sooner! But we have found her. She is in a really bad shape, but she is still alive."

" I cannot believe this. First you tell me my daughter was abducted and now you tell me that you have found her, but she is really bad hurt?"

"Yes Sir, that is correct. I am so sorry about everything that happened and that no one informed you sooner. Our private jet is waiting for you in Quantico to take you right down here, and when you arrive, someone will come and pick you up at the airport."

"Thank you."

"And again, I truly am sorry, Mr. Jareau." When Emily was about to hang up, she was interrupted by Nathan's voice

"Emily?"

"Yes Sir?"

"I am not blaming you and I am sorry that I yelled at you!"

"Oh, Mr. Jareau Sir, I was expecting no less. It is your daughter that was taken and almost killed!"

"I am surprised that we haven't hear from her boyfriend. When she told us about this case she told her she would be working with him"

Emily's jaw tightened by the thought of Will. "Mr. Jareau? Will was the reason JJ got abducted."

There was a silence on the other side. "Mr. Jareau? Are you okay?"

"No I am not. I will be once I come down there and kill that little moron who lost my daughter!"

"Trust me, Mr. Jareau, you are not the only one!"

"Please Emily, how many times must I tell you to call me Nathan?"

"Always once more. Call me when you are at Quantico and I will arrange fore someone, if not come personally, to pick you up at the airport."

"Bye Emily. Thank you for calling"

"Anytime Mr. ehm... Nathan!"
