Priceless

I walked into the BAU with Emily. I was coming in because Hotch had found me a little job. JJ needed some files organized so while they were on their case, I would be organizing files and hanging out with Garcia, while she wasn't working, that is.

"Can I sit in on the briefing?" I asked Emily as we walked in.

"Why?" She asked.

"I just…I like to know what you're doing while you're not here…" I explained. It was really that I wanted to know exactly what I was worrying about, while she was gone.

"I'm sure that would be fine," Emily said nodding. We walked into the briefing room, where Rossi and Reid were sitting, watching the stocks on Rossi's iPad. Garcia was sitting in a chair reading a magazine.

"Hey," Reid said, sitting up and waving to us.

"Hi," I said smiling.

"How are the stocks, boys?" Emily asked smiling.

"Gold is still going up," Rossi commented, not looking up from the screen, but smiling.

"Hi, Garcia," Emily said. She did not acknowledge Garcia.

"Penelope?" Emily asked again. Slowly she looked up.

"Yes?" She asked.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Damn Kate Middleton for taking the prince away from me. And for looking so good her wedding dress," Garcia whined.

"You'll always look good to me," A voice said walking in. It was Derek. He hugged me and kissed Emily.

"Thanks, hon," Emily said sarcastically. Garcia laughed.

"Hey, you look great too," Derek said laughing.

"Morning, princess," He said to me.

"Morning," I said smiling. Then Hotch and JJ walked in together, and finally the whole team was here.

"Alright guys, let's get started right away. DC's got a serial killer. 6 women have been found dead in their homes. All brunettes in their 40s. They all children, and they were all married. They were all in positions of power where they worked," JJ explained, "They were found stabbed in their beds, with signs of sexual trauma," JJ finished. She flipped through the pictures of them as she spoke. All the women reminded me of Emily. It made me sick.

"Okay, so this guy feels emasculated? These women are all in a position of power, and that makes him mad. So in his job he must not have any power," Derek said.

"Any connection Jayje?" Reid asked.

"I had Garcia run their names through different databases, and we started looking for other connections. Nothing so far," JJ explained.

"So maybe they met the unsub somewhere," Rossi suggested.

"Wheels up in thirty minutes guys," Hotch said, "Detective Warner is the lead on this case," He explained.

"Warner," Emily mumbled the name, "We worked with him a few years ago," She said.

"That's right…he was a complete jerk as I recall," Garcia said.

"Yes…unfortunately, but this unsub is speeding up his killing. We really only have one day before he kills again, so we need to work quickly and efficiently," Hotch explained. He got up and Derek, Rossi, Reid and Garcia left. JJ walked up to me.

"Good morning, Kaitlin," She said hugging me warmly with a smile. I couldn't smile back though.

"Emily," I said turning to her. I was sick after seeing all those pictures of the women.

"What's wrong, hon," Emily said. She stood on my left and JJ stood on my right.

"You can't…you can't go," I said.

"Kaitlin?" Emily asked.

"Emily…those women…you…you're just like them…the same description…everything," I said.

"Kaitlin, I'll be okay. I'll be fine, but I have to go," Emily told me.

"No, Emily, please," I begged. I wouldn't cry, but I was so scared.

"Kaitlin," She said. She held my hands and looked into my eyes. Then she hugged me tightly.

"Nothing will happen," She promised, "Now, go with JJ, let her show you what she needs help with, " Emily told me. I looked at her one last time.

"It'll be okay," She said. I closed my eyes as she walked away.

"Ok, c'mon, hon," JJ said and led me to her office and to the files, "Alphabetical order by year," JJ explained.

"That's it?" I asked.

"Harder than it seems," JJ said.

"Ok…" I said quietly. I didn't want Emily to leave. I couldn't lose her.

"Hey, I'll be out in the field with her. I won't let anything happen to her out there," JJ said.

"Jayje, what if-" I began.

"Stop," JJ said, "Don't play that game with your mind, it'll only drive you crazy. I promise, she will be okay," JJ said. I sighed.

"Ok," I nodded reluctantly. She kissed my forehead and hugged me and then left me to the files.

I sat down and began to organize.

.oOo.

After a long day of another woman's body being found, and some leads, interviews and suspects, it was time to go home for the day. Since the case was so close to home, they were all allowed to return to their homes. So Emily picked me up from the BAU and we went home.

"See," She repeatedly told me, "Nothing happened to me," Emily said.

"You're right. I was just so scared for you all day," I explained.

"Well I'm here now," She said hugging me. We changed into our pajamas. Emily was exhausted from such a long day, so she was ready for bed quickly.

"You wanna stay in here tonight?" Emily asked as she walked into her room. Maybe she saw the nervousness in my eyes? I wasn't sure.

"Yes," I admitted quietly. She smiled. I climbed into bed next to her and we both fell asleep quickly.

.oOo.

I awoke to a strange noise. I opened my eyes and standing above me was man with a knife.

"Oh my-" I couldn't even scream.

"Shh," He whispered.

"Emily," I tried to cry as he covered my mouth and picked me up. I saw Emily was gone. The man then hit me over the head with something and threw me into a truck. He tied my hands and feet tightly and placed a thick strip of ducktape over my mouth. I tried to fight back and cry, but it was no use. I still had not seen Emily. The man started driving the truck and as we sped up, i got dizzier. Then I blacked out.

.oOo.

I woke up to find that I was still in the truck.

"Stay here," The man gurunted, then laughed, "Wait, you can't go anywhere," He smirked and walked away slamming the door. His cellphone, wallet, and knife were sitting in the truck so i suspected he would be back very quickly. I slid on the seat trying to reach the cell phone with my mouth. Somehow i maneuvered my tied hands out in front of me and dialed Derek's number.

"Hello?" He answered. I spoke in a hushed whisper, quickly.

"Derek, it's Kaitlin, he got us the unsub. I don't know where Emily is but he got I can't escape. He's got a knife he's coming back," I said quickly.

"Oh, jesus, kaitlin, i'll get Garcia to track the call. stay on the line," Derek told me. After two minutes, Garcia had tracked me, but the man was back.

"Hey, what the hell are you doing with my phone?" He yelled loudly.

"NO please stop!" I screamed as he hit me. He through the phone out the window, started the truck and drove. He was yelling and swearing at me. Finally he stopped. We were at a bridge. He picked me up and threw me over the edge.

"Ahhh!" I screamed. I hit the freezing water and watched as he threw Emily the over edge as well. She, however, was unconscious. He drove away quickly. Luckily, Derek and the BAU were fast. Followed by police cars, one BAU SUV was right behind the unsub. I tried to keep my head above the water, but I couldn't. The icy water rushed over my head. I came up and as I gasped for breath I looked around to search for Emily or someone who could help. I could see no one, I could hear no one, and I was beginning to lose feeling in my body as well. I felt my feet numbing.

Suddenly there was splash next to me. Hotch. And another splash. Derek. They had both dived into the water to help. I was relieved, but still worried. What if we didn't make it. Then once again everything went dark.

.oOo.

"Kaitlin," A man told me, "C'mon, wake up!" It was Hotch. Finally I coughed and sputtered some water up.

"She's ok!" Hotch called. I sat up rather quickly, which made me light headed and dizzy. I ignored this.

"Where's Emily?" I pleaded.

"She's," Hotch began, scanning the surrounding area.

"I'm right here," Someone, obviously Emily, said from behind me. I slowly managed to stand. She was being carried by Derek.

"Em!" I exclaimed. Derek gently put her down and I ran to her. I hugged her tightly.

"When we're done hugging you should know that I will be super pissed at you for breaking your promise. I hope you know that," I said, my voice muffled because my head was pressed into her shoulder in a hug.

"That's ok. Just hug me for now," Emily told me. And like a mastercard commercial: the price I paid for getting freaked out about one of Emily's cases was countless, the price I pay for getting involved with a case was usually getting injured because of an unsub, but the moments like these, another day where something terrible happened, but in the end all is so well….priceless.
