Chapter 15: The first hours
September 23rd 2006
JJ collided with the muddy ground. The stab wound to her side kept her from moving. The man who had attacked her was standing behind her. She still hadn't seen his face and she didn't need to. She only wanted to find a way out, but her body wasn't working. Every ounce of energy she had was gone. And suddenly the man grabbed her by the waist to get her to stand up.
''Stand up!'' he ordered as he violently helped her up. His impatience was running out. He wasn't supposed to run into the FBI. He wasn't in the mood for any mistakes.
JJ tried to struggle against his grip, but he was still too strong. He turned her around and she finally saw his face for the first time. She didn't dare to look at him. Instead, she gazed over his shoulder and she noticed a van. It was white and dirty. The man lifted JJ up over his shoulder as he slowly approached the van. He dropped her to the ground again when he stopped in front of the van. He didn't even pay any attention to JJ, knowing she was too badly injured to escape.
JJ didn't move as she heard to the doors to the van open. Her body still wasn't working. But she didn't want to give up. Her mind was racing as the fear started to set in. What did he want? What was going to happen to her? All the questions made her more terrified. Her heart beat faster with every second. The woods around her were still dark and everything was silent. She could only hear the man around her.
''What do you want?'' she asked hoarsely.
The man kneeled down next to her. ''Oh sweetheart you'll find out soon enough. I never thought I would go back with two beautiful women. I've had my eyes on Julia for a while but I have to say you're even better. And your FBI. That makes it a win for my club.'' he said, caressing JJ's cheek.
JJ had no idea what or who the guy was talking about until she looked up. She saw a brunette girl about the same age as herself. She was tied up and she lay on the cold floor of the van. ''Who are you? What did you do to her?'' JJ yelled out. She pulled away from his touch in the hope that he would get the message, but he took a strong hold of her shoulders instead.
''My name is Steven. But you get to call me sir, Jennifer.'' he said, noticing the horrified look in JJ's eyes. ''I saw your name on the badge, honey. Don't worry about it.'' he stated firmly as he put his hands on JJ's waist. He felt a shiver going through her slender but toned body. He helped her to her feet again. ''Let's get you undressed. We need to leave something for your co-workers to work with. I'll bet they will be going crazy when they find you clothes.'' he whispered in JJ's ear. His hands moved to the hem of her shirt. His fingers grazed her smooth skin.
JJ's entire body froze when she felt his hands on her body. ''No! Please don't!'' she pleaded when he forced her shirt over her head. The bloodied shirt fell to the ground and she was left in her bra. She folded her arms to cover her chest from his gaze.
Steven smirked at JJ. ''You don't need to cover yourself up. You're a pretty little thing.'' he said, pulling JJ flush against him. One of his hands landed on her stomach and he started to move it upwards.
JJ felt his hand moving somewhere where it didn't belong. ''Don't touch me!'' she said as she kicked him in the crotch. Steven stumbled backwards and JJ tried to make a run for it, but suddenly realized she couldn't leave the girl alone with him. She needed to help her. She slowly ran toward the van where the girl was tied up and sitting with her back against the cold metal. She was also gagged. JJ pulled the tape from her mouth. ''I'm sorry. I'm JJ by the way.'' she apologized.
''It's fine. Just get this off me. And I am Julia!'' Julia whispered as she looked at the restraints on her wrists and ankles.
''Go!'' Julia suddenly yelled when Steven came up from behind JJ.
JJ felt something hard on her head, but she lost consciousness before she could realize what was happening.
JJ finally awoke with a throbbing pain in her head. Her vision was blurry and she couldn't move her hands. She realized her hands were tied behind her back. When she tried to move she noticed that she was only wearing her panties and bra. She had no idea what happened.
''Julia?'' JJ whispered. ''Julia? Wake up!'' she pleaded. But Julia didn't respond. Her eyes were closed, but JJ could see she was still breathing.
''Julia?'' she asked again, hoping the girl would wake up. The tears finally escaped her eyes. Her nightmare had become reality and there was no way to escape it.

''Who is Julia?'' Hotch asked again when JJ didn't answer. She seemed to be in some kind of trance.
JJ refocused on Hotch's voice. She just started to relive the first moment she met Julia. ''How do you know that name?''
Hotch felt the impatience rising. ''We heard you whisper the voice on a tape. You were tied up in the back of a van. Half-naked!'' he added to make her remember.
''Oh,''
''What is it, JJ?''
''Julia and I were abducted at the same day. She was in the van with me. I called out her name because she was unconscious.'' she explained, her voice soft and tender.
Hotch started to put the pieces together. ''We didn't find a girl by the name Julia in the warehouse.'' he commented, knowing by the look on JJ's face that there was more to the story.
''I know.''
''What happened to Julia?'' Hotch asked.
