I don't own CM or their characters
JJ decided to sit down for a while. She was exhausted and Henry was fussy. Not one car had stopped for them. She wondered what she looked like. Could that play a major role in why no one would be kind enough to pull over? JJ wasn't too sure at the moment. Hopefully, If she lets the people see Henry, then maybe she would get some assistance. She didn't want to think of much, because she knew the minute she did she would break down. She wasn't sure why, but guilt was a major weakness for her. For a second she wished she was more like Hotch, on a good day. Perhaps Prentiss would've been better, but Hotch appears to be made of steel. She knew he would've been doing something more productive than just sitting.
She heard the rumble of an engine and she quickly got up with Henry in her arms. Before she could even wave, the car pulled over. Slightly wary, she walked towards the car. A tall man with scraggly hair was seen walking out of the car. For a second JJ believed that Reid had found a way to save himself. But when the man turned around, she was slightly disappointed.
"Um, so you were like kidnapped. Some guy on the phone told me to pick you up," The man said dully, "Well, uh, I shouldn't say told. He kinda like forced me to?"
JJ nodded quickly. "How far away is the next town?" She asked. She needed to lead the team back to the place her and Reid were held captive.
"I don't know, if I drive like a grandpa, then it can take an hour. If I feel like I'm superman or maybe even batman, then I can get there in like thirty minutes or less," The man smiled.
"Okay, well, I have a baby. Just drive safely. My name Is Jennifer Jereau," JJ said extending her hand.
"Um... Hold on. I have to remember my name. Oh! Just call me Leo," He smiled and shook JJ's hands.
"Let's get over there. I think we can finally solve this case," JJ said as Leo showed her to the car door.
"Okay," Leo smiled and got into the car as well. He started the engine and sped off.
The jet had taken off. They expected to be there in an hour or less.
"You think they probably hurt JJ?" Prentiss asked in thought. This caught everybody's attention. "Well, it depends," Rossi stated. "They could've hurt JJ in a way to get to Reid or vice versa. There is a possibility that they didn't hurt her at all. She was just an inconvenience."
"That could be true, but how come they didn't release Alex as well?" Hotch questioned. This had everyone's minds turning. "She could've been knocked unconscious and when JJ was let go, she may not have been awake," Morgan suggested. "They probably could use her as better leverage with Reid. There's a difference when it's your tough coworker, but someone as small as her..." Prentiss let the sentence hang in the air.
"So what is their plan? What are they going to do with her?" Morgan asked.
"That's something JJ would know," Hotch said in deep thought. "If we were right about them using JJ as leverage, then she may be unharmed because Reid wouldn't let anything happen to her," Prentiss said with a nod.
"What if William Reid is there? How are we going to handle that?" Morgan asked. Truth was he already knew the answer. He was just trying to keep his mind off of Reid. JJ got out, but how would they find Reid?
"We arrest him," Rossi said simply.
Suddenly Hotch's phone rang and he excused himself.
"I wonder who that could be," Emily said with a raised eyebrow.
"Probably an angry Haley," Morgan smirked.
"Or a fellow agent," Rossi added.
About ten minutes later, Hotch came back and sat down.
"What's up Hotch?" Morgan questioned when he noticed that Hotch was in his work only mode.
"That was Garcia. A body was found. They haven't identified it, but it was a tall male," Hotch said and everyone grew silent. Morgan would prefer the angry Haley ruining Hotch's day. Not this. His stomach was in knots, and now he wished the plane could fly faster.
"When will the body be identified? Was there any marks?" Prentiss questioned while trying to fight the urge to pick at her nails.
"In an hour or so. Garcia wasn't able to get anymore information as of right now. They haven't put it all in the database. She'll inform us as soon as it is, though," Hotch said calmly.
The team nodded slowly. Although they had a feeling of dread, they knew that it could have been anyone. Maybe there is another serial killer in North Carolina. They weren't sure, but they hoped so.
They had finally arrived at a local town. JJ had to admit that Leo was interesting company to have around. Despite the lack of brain matter, he seemed to understand the situation. He didn't prod or ask any questions. He simply just talked about the local town or some of his past. He also didn't mind Henry's fussiness.
"I don't know when you're team was supposed to get here, but I guess it should be anytime soon. Would you prefer a motel or a supermarket. I thought you and the little baby might be hungry or something," Leo stated while parking the car in a random parking space. JJ sat for a second a thought. She felt dirty and the bruises were finally settling in, however she knew she should wait for the team first.
"We can just go to the supermarket," JJ decided.
"Okay, would you like some ice for the bruises. I mean, I could also take you to the hospital, but I don't want to get yelled at by whoever is coming here to get you," Leo said as he pulled out of the parking space to head over to the supermarket.
"Um, yeah. I think ice would be okay for now, but I do want a doctor to check over Henry. He's been fussing a bit more than usual," JJ said while looking at the restless baby in her arms.
"Okay, well, tell me what you both would like. I'll run in a get it," Leo said as he approached the supermarket.
"Um, just some pureed foods and maybe some baby formula. I'll take some water and a banana," JJ said quickly as she hushed Henry.
"Okay, I'll be back," Leo said as he parked and left the car.
JJ nodded and continued to hush Henry. She knew she needed to get him to a doctor. Maybe he caught a flu bug. He always got restless when he was about to get sick. She just hoped this cold could pass quickly. 'Maybe Spence was still getting over that flu,' JJ wondered. She had to admit she was worried, but if it was a flu, then Henry would be in good care soon enough.
In about five minutes time, Leo had came out. He handed her what she wanted and started the ignition once more.
"To the hospital, right?" Leo asked hesitantly.
"Yes, please," JJ said with a frown when Henry denied her attempt to feed him.
"Is he alright?" Leo asked with a side glance.
"I don't know. I need the doctor to check him out. I can't take any chances," JJ said as Henry began to wail.
"Well, I'll speed it up," Leo mumbled as the car gradually accelerated.
The plane has landed and the team was ready for work. The man still hadn't called about JJ, and they were starting to worry. Was she hurt? Could he find her? Did Dale get to her first? So many questions were running through each member's head. Derek's phone rang and he answered it immediately.
"What do you have for us Baby Girl?" Morgan asked.
"Did something happen?" Garcia asked quietly. Morgan sighed silently.
"No, we just haven't heard about JJ. We're worried. Do you have anything?" Morgan asked with a small hope that his baby girl has found anything to brighten up their day.
"Well, lucky you. I have something on JJ. He called me, and JJ is at the hospital with Henry. He said My little chicken wing may have gotten a cold or something like that. Anywhose, the address is being sent to your phone, you can thank me later and let me know how my Godson is doing!" Garcia demanded and hung up.
Morgan couldn't suppress the smile that formed across his lips as he relayed the information to the rest of the team.
They quickly got into the rented SUV and headed straight for the Hospital they knew JJ would be in with Little Henry.
In about thirty minutes time, they reached the hospital.
Hotch decided now would be the best time to speak to the team.
"Guys, before we go in there, I want you to all remember that we don't know what state JJ may be in, or what happened during her kidnapping. Don't bring up the letter until it's absolutely relevant. We don't want to attack her accidentally. We treat her the same way we always have," Hotch stated quickly.
When each member nodded they got out the car and headed in.
A/N: Okay, so things will start picking up... I couldn't stall their little get together any longer. But this is definitely not the end. Will they find Reid? Did he die?
What about Henry? (well... Obviously he's sick...)
Past two chapters were more of a fillers fooor traveling sake... You know.. We got on the plane... Now we landed. JJ finally got help and what nots...
Now it's time for stuff get (more confusing!) deep!
P.S.
Did someone catch the hint in this chapter?!
*I'm working on getting the next update out soon!*
