A/N: This is it! Things will finally pick up after this chapter! ^.^ I took my dear sweet time planning this chapter. However there are always room for improvements! Feel free to speak your mind! Thanks for the reviews, follows, favs... Etc.! Muchas gracias! Anyways... I don't own CM or Their characters (no old lady in this chapter...)

She sat in the uncomfortable chair at the police station. She's happy that it wasn't an interrogation room, but all eyes were on her. They were going to ask her for every detail, and she was upset that not much has really happened with her, besides Dale and arguing/caring for Reid. She spent very little time with Dale, and she only met the lady at least three times. The first time she didn't really get to see her face. The second time she was too worried about Henry to look at her. The last time she was too busy escaping. 'Way to go,' JJ thought sarcastically. The one person who was smart enough to make all this happen put herself in plain sight, and JJ didn't even bother to take a good look at her.

"What happened when you first woke up," Hotch asked slowly. JJ snapped out of her thoughts and focused on the question.

"Spence. He was trying to wake me up... Annoyingly. He kept poking me," JJ said slowly trying to think of every detail. Times like this she wished she was Reid. He could tell every single detail with clarity. JJ on the other hand actually had to think about it.

She heard Rossi snicker.

"Poking you?" Rossi asked with a smile.

"He thought it was normal," JJ said with a slight nod.

"Okay, so you opened your eyes. Did you notice anything about the room? Anything out of the ordinary?" Hotch asked. Staying on topic. JJ thought for another second.

"There was a chair. As well as a thing for Spence. They gave him an oxygen tank," JJ said with a frown.

"They hate him. Why would they try to help him?" Morgan asked.

"To keep him alive longer," Prentiss said in thought.

"Did Reid mention anything?" Rossi questioned.

JJ frowned and tried to remember.

"He only said that I might have a concussion. That we needed to get control on that. He didn't really say anything else," JJ said slowly.

"You weren't wearing what you were wearing now," Rossi pointed out.

JJ nodded slowly.

"They gave us some random clothing. I don't remember why. I just remembered hoping that someone would've noticed that some of my clothes were missing. You know, like Will," JJ mumbled. She realized that he never noticed that anything was missing. Then again she couldn't be mad. It was just clothes.

She did have a good reason to be mad, though. He didn't realize that Henry was missing, or that she was missing. It took a while before he realized anything. She was reluctant to place Henry in his care, but she knew Will would take care of Henry if Henry is right in front of him. They had a lot to get through once this case was solved, and she wasn't looking forward to it. She had already gotten a taste of it.

'Will had walked into the hospital room. The team took the tense silence as their cue to leave.

"So, the past couple of years, I was right," Will said angrily. JJ couldn't respond. She wasn't sure how to.

"Will I-"

"I knew you were cheating on me with him! He always tried to play that innocent-never-do-any-wrong-card, but I saw through it! I knew it for the longest time. That's why he always had that knowing look in his eyes every time we're together. He knew you were playing me. He must've thought I was stupid. Oh, I not though. I knew all along!-"

"Will! That's enough!" JJ yelled, no longer wanting to hear Will's accusations. "I've never cheated on you. It was always just you and I. Spence was never in a relationship with me. In fact, he is in a relationship. Well, at least until he died! So just stop accusing him of being so low. Spence is better than that. He would never ruin a family for his own personal gain! Neither would I. I have feelings for him, but he doesn't feel the same way!"

Will stared at JJ for the longest time. JJ wasn't sure what his reaction would be, but she mentally prepared herself for it.

"So, you tried to leave me for him, huh. I guess he saw what I couldn't. You just go for what you want. You don't care about anyone, but yourself. You are just a selfish, filthy little-"

The stinging sensation along his face quieted him.

"Don't you ever imply that again," JJ warned. "I care about Henry. I cared about you. You took advantage of that, and I was kind enough not to complain about you to the team."

"Oh your little so called "family". JJ When will you realize you guys are bound together by your job. You're not really a family! Stop playing into that little fantasy. You have a family. You have a real Mother, real father. You even have a son! What more do you need?" Will asked placing his hands on hips, glaring at an angry JJ.

"Well, they do a lot better when it comes to caring than you do!" JJ yelled.

"Here we go! It's about you again!" Will taunted. This caused JJ to look at him in shock.

"Henry, barely sees his mother because she is away on a case-"

"We've discussed that-"

"When you're home, Henry asks where his mommy is, because she out with her team or Spencer," Will said ignoring her comment. "You are never there! So why should I act like you are when you decide that we are important enough for your attention!" Will shouted.

"Henry is important Will," JJ whispered. She realized that Will truly believed that she didn't care.

"Of course he is, but just not as important as your job," Will said softly.

"I would go to the end of the world and back for Henry, you know that," JJ snapped.

"It's whatever, JJ. I need to get Henry, before he gets kidnapped and it ends up being the end of his world," Will snapped back before walking out of the room to discharge Henry.'

"So what happened in that room?" Hotch asked even though he knew JJ was lost in a distant memory. JJ attention snapped back to them and she swallowed the lump in her throat.

"Um, Dale came and took Reid out of the room. A few minutes later he took me too," JJ said softly.

"What happened when he took you out of the room?" Prentiss asked softly. She knew something had to have happened. JJ's face seemed to pale slightly.

"Dale basically told me he could do whatever he wanted with me. I told him that he wouldn't and then he attacked me. He told me he didn't want too, but I made him angry. So yea. That's the short simple version," JJ shrugged as Morgan growled in anger.

"You mean to tell me that Dale put his hands on you?" Derek growled.

"I already had this conversation with Spencer. I don't want a repeat," JJ said in exasperation. Getting the minor hint, Morgan kept quiet. However, it won't last long.

"What happened next," Hotch asked.

"They just moved us to a different room. Reid was knocked out, and so I kept watch. Dale mainly attacked Reid. I spoke with the mistress though. I didn't get a good look at her face. However, her voice was kind of familiar. I think that was just my brain trying to formulate some hope," JJ admitted shamefully.

"It's okay, JJ. Do you-" Hotch was cut off when his phone started ringing.

"It's Garcia," Hotch said as he put her on speaker.

"Okay, my lovelies. I got some bad news for all of you!" Garcia said quickly.

"What is it?" JJ asked. Garcia fell silent.

"You sound good," Garcia complimented causing JJ to smile.

"Thanks Garcia," JJ said.

"Your welcome Miss Sunshine, however, someone leaked to the media that you and Henry were found, so the media is going pretty crazy. They're wondering why they weren't notified hours ago and now the FBI is being accused of keeping secrets from the public," Garcia said quickly.

"Can you find out who leaked this to the news?" Hotch asked. This was the last thing they needed.

"They won't give up a name. They weren't too sure either. I mean is there anyone that knows that JJ has been found?" Garcia asked.

"Leo was the only one who knew I was kidnapped," JJ said.

"No, because the medical staff knew as well. Not too mention it could've been someone here in the police station," Rossi said looking around the room at the other officers.

"So let's just cut down to business. Garcia keep us updated," Hotch ordered.

"Yes, Sir," Garcia said as she hung up.

"Okay, JJ do you think you can lead us to the place you were held?" Hotch questioned.

"I went through the woods, but I can try to back track. I left a small trail just in case," JJ said with a sly smile. She almost forgot about that.

"Trail?" Morgan asked.

"Yes, I hate the woods, but for each break, I left a mark on the nearest few trees," JJ said with a small nod.

"Good, let's round up and head out there. We've got a few hours left," Hotch said as the team prepared to go.

They followed JJ down the trail. It's been at least an hour. They were lucky enough to get a few officers to come along with them. After a good 30 minutes, they finally reached the edge of the woods. JJ poked her head out first and each member drew their guns.

There was no one outside.

Morgan called Garcia. They needed an address for where they are at.

JJ lead them to the trap door by the quaint house. Hotch forced her to step back as they all positioned at the trap door. Morgan kicked it in and they swiftly walked down the stairs. Once the basement was deemed clear, JJ walked in.

It was strange to be there after trying to run away for the longest time. They're guns were put away, but they were still on edge.

They looked at the walls. It was clear this person seemed to have money. It was strange compared to the money Dale made. They knew this must've been the money of the mistress.

They walked to the room where there was a huge bed. Blood and what appeared to be bits of flesh covered the entire floor.

"A struggled happened here," Rossi said slowly.

"This is where Spence distracted Dale so Henry and I could get away," JJ said softly. "There wasn't this much blood when I left."

Morgan felt his stomach go into knots. It could be Reid's blood.

They all noticed the oxygen tank. If Reid was still alive, then it would've been gone. Reid would need it. This added to the dread they were feeling. Prentiss walked out of the room and Hotch followed. Prentiss walked to another room. It was a bit strange. There was a couple of screens. It showed both rooms they were held in.

"You think there were video tapes?" Prentiss asked.

"No. They wouldn't leave any evidence," Hotch answered.

"We should go through the house. There may be something that we can use from up there," Prentiss said looking around. They made sure not to touch anything. They couldn't afford to tamper with any potential evidence. Hotch nodded and they walked back to the other members.

"They didn't record anything, but they were able to watch your every move," Hotch said to a slightly nervous JJ.

"Hey, Hotch. In the other room I noticed a tray. They had tools on it. I think tools you'd use for torture," Morgan informed as he walked out of the room. The team followed and Morgan gestured towards the table tucked in the corner.

"That's a whip," Prentiss said.

"Knife, scissors, and chains," Rossi said completing the list.

"Um, Spence was whipped the first day we stayed," JJ said quietly.

Morgan's questioning expression turned to pure hate.

"You mean this was basically what they used on him?" Morgan asked. JJ nodded softly.

Hotch knew this was getting hard for JJ. They needed to search the house. There may be more luck up there.

"Okay, let's search the house. There may be more information. Afterwards, we call in CSI," Hotch ordered. They all nodded and headed up the stairs.

Before Hotch opened the door. He heard a voice. It sounded like a male. He knew the officers were out there, but they were by the tree line making sure no one would come through.

The entire team freezed and Hotch reached for his gun. The door swung open and Hotch automatically pulled his un down. It was Unit Chief Swanson and his unit.

Both teams followed suit and retracted their guns.

"Agent Hotchner," said the older man. He ran a hand through his salt and pepper black hair as Dark brown eyes widened in shock.

"Agent Swanson," Hotch repeated not looking surprised.

"We need to talk," Swanson said and Hotch nodded.

"We will talk as a team," Hotch said as he came up the rest of the stairs.

Swanson and his team made room for the other profilers to come out. Hotch didn't miss the look they had when they saw JJ.

"What do you need to say," Hotch questioned quickly. He didn't have time for their bull crap.

"It's about your boy. We got information on the body," Swanson said as The team held their breath. JJ gasped in shock already feeling the tears at the back of her eyes. Morgan was inwardly praying. Rossi waited patiently, and Prentiss wanted them to stop being vague.

"Well, what about him?" Hotch questioned tensely.

"The body was Brandon Dale. He's dead. Multiple gunshot wounds to the head as well as ligature marks on his neck," Swanson said as he saw everyone relax a little bit.

"Okay, so what about Reid? Did you guys find anything that could help lead us to him?" Morgan asked ready to find his baby brother.

"No, you don't understand. There was evidence that your boy killed him. We also believe he ran away with the other two women, unless we have yet to find her body. We looked through every possibility, but it was most definitely organized. Agent Reid's blood was all over Dale as well as fingerprints along his neck. One of the women shot Dale. They all disposed of his body and ran," Swanson said.

The entire team was in shock from what Swanson was implying. Reid was the victim, not the UnSub.

"Are you trying to tell us that Reid killed Dale on purpose?" Morgan asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, Reid did what he had to do to save me!" JJ exclaimed in his defense.

"Listen, I know it's hard to believe, but if it was defense, then he wouldn't have run. We tried to see if maybe the mistress would have something to do with it, but she would've killed him by now. However it is possible that Agent Reid and Dr. Romanov teamed together and killed both of them. Like Bonnie and Clyde," Swanson shrugged.

"I can't believe this! Are you guys stupid!?" Prentiss shouted at them. She hated stupidity more than anything.

"No Agent Prentiss. We are not. You guys can't see it our way because you are too emotionally attached to this case. Mrs. Hutchinson, Dale's mother, wants to press charges. Brandon Dale was not only killed but there was signs of overkill. We spoke with Strauss and the evidence points to Dr. Reid," Swanson said gently.

"If it was Reid, then it wouldn't be so unorganized," Morgan frowned.

"That's what we thought too," A short woman from Swanson's team said. "However, it is possible that Dr. Reid staged this. It's not coincidental that this mistress lived in the same apartment as him and his girlfriend, Dr. Romanov. Dr. Reid is intelligent enough to know that he was being followed and the mistress teamed up with him to get rid of the problem. Dr. Romanov, came into the picture not too long ago. Yet, she would "risk" her life for his? We don't think so," She finished.

"So, you're saying that Dr. Reid decided to get hit by a car just to be kidnapped along with JJ and Henry, to be beaten by a man with bad temper. Then he also planned that his girlfriend, Dr. Romanov, was to be kidnapped as well, so they can kill Brandon Dale and run away," Rossi summarized making the woman look rather sheepish.

"That is exactly what we are saying," A blonde male said.

"Did you guys bother to see if maybe the mistress could've kidnapped them?" Hotch questioned staring daggers into Swanson's head.

"We considered it, but two against one was a long shot. Despite her intelligence, she couldn't get away. We believe she has already been killed or kidnapped," Swanson answered despite his discomfort from Agent Hotchner's glare.

"You guys weren't there. Spencer didn't even know Dale! I reminded him of Dale's father, but he didn't even know Hector had a son!" JJ said, growing frustrated with their lies.

"We need to get you into questioning," Swanson said folding his arms across his chest.

"Like hell, we already questioned her," Morgan said stepping directly between Swanson's team and JJ.

"You are not on duty. This is not your case. This is our case. She is our witness, so step out of the way before we get orders from Strauss to get you all to step down," Swanson said calmly.

"Good luck with that," A man scoffed and Morgan nearly snapped.

Hotch's phone had started to ring and Hotch excused himself while noticing Swanson's smirk.

"Hotchner," Hotch said tensely.

"Agent Hotchner. I do not understand why your team is the only team I have that doesn't know how to follow orders. You are all off the case. I know I've made myself clear," Strauss snapped.

"Ma'am you don't underst-"

"I don't care! You guys are not on the case! Now stop before I suspend you all," Strauss interrupted.

"Strauss, do you know that they are accusing Dr. Reid of planning this whole thing? They accused him of killing Brandon Dale out of rage and malice. They are accusing him of kidnapping JJ and Henry, and possibly killing Dale's accomplice?" Hotch asked before Strauss could cut him off.

"They've got the evidence and I believe Agent Swanson's beliefs. It all makes sense and it puts an end to this case. They will find Dr. Reid and he will be discharged immediately for-"

"For what? Erin, that makes no sense. Dr. Reid wouldn't kill anyone willingly. Maybe for self defense, but even then it takes him some time to build up the backbone to do so," Hotch defended angrily.

"The evidence points to Agent Reid. You guys always said there a something missing, that Agent Reid is the final piece. You guys care about him, but put that aside, Agent Reid was your UnSub all along. It fits and solves the case. Swanson's unit will find him and his accomplices, and they will be put on trial and sent to the federal prison. Now step down Agent Hotchner. It is final," Strauss said as she hung up.

Hotch never felt so angry in his life. He wanted to throw a tantrum. He wanted to yell. He wouldn't mind attacking Swanson either. He took a couple of deep breaths and walked to the teams. He had to be the leader. The strong one.

"Agent Morgan, back down," Hotch ordered much to Morgan's surprise.

"Hotch, what-"

Hotch held up his hand for them to stop their reactions.

"I spoke with Strauss. We must back down. JJ, you have to go with Swanson for questioning," Hotch said. Shock covered their faces. Hotch hated to see that among his team, but he couldn't think of any other way. He failed them.

"Come on, Miss Jereau. We'll take good care of you," Swanson said softly as JJ reluctantly walked towards him.

"Call us when you're done with her. We aren't leaving without her," Morgan demanded.

Swanson nodded and they disappeared with JJ into the black SUV's.

JJ has been sitting in the uncomfortable interrogation room for a few hours. She knew they didn't care that she worked in the same building as them. She knew they just wanted to get the case over with. She decided that she wouldn't be so cooperative, hence leaving her to sitting there for those hours.

"What did Dr. Reid say to you while you were kidnapped?" Swanson questioned gently.

JJ simply looked at the glass. She decided to focus on her own reflection, despite how shallow it may seem.

"Did he say anything reassuring or that you may die?" Swanson continued.

JJ continued to ignore him. Now, Swanson was getting irritated. He didn't have time for her childish antics and he knew she was only acting this way because she whole-heartedly believed that Dr. Reid was innocent. Swanson decided to pull out the big guns.

"You truly think he was completely innocent. He must've protected you throughout the abduction. Promise you that you would make it out okay. He tricked you. He made you believe that he didn't know what was going on. He made a promise that was unpredictable. No one can promise you safety unless they know for sure how the situation would be handled," Swanson said raising an eyebrow.

That one statement had JJ's attention though. She did believe that Reid was innocent, but when you look at the situation from that point of view. Spencer seemed slightly suspicious. How could he promise her security when he was so unsure of the whole situation.

"You're wrong," JJ said quietly.

"What?" Swanson said shocked that she even spoke.

"You're wrong. I didn't make it out unharmed. Neither did Henry. Reid threw himself between me and Dale. Spence shielded Henry from the knife to the best of his abilities. He promised security and safety, but he couldn't make that promise one hundred percent," JJ said defensively. Swanson smirked.

"Brandon Dale is a man who goes after what he wants. When he wanted to attack you, he changed him mind out of the blue and went for Dr. Reid. That seems suspicious," Swanson said slowly.

"Spence angered him," JJ snapped.

"I don't know, it just seems eerie that only you made it out. Not Dr. Romanov, the accomplice, or Dr. Reid. Dale is dead and covered in Dr. Reid's DNA. Dale was the muscle of the two who kidnapped you. I can't see how Dr. Reid, nor Dr. Romanov could get away," Swanson said leaning forward.

JJ couldn't defend Reid on that. She couldn't see the logic either.

"Spence was stabbed when I left. He probably died from blood loss," JJ guessed. That was her last tactic for defense. It was possible.

"What about Dr. Romanov," Swanson questioned.

"The mistress probably shot her too," JJ said.

"I don't think so. I just got a text from my tech analyst. A gun was found not too far from Dale's body. Dr. Romanov shot Dale. Dr. Reid strangled him. The evidence points to them and where are they? It seems to me that they ran," Swanson said.

JJ gave up. She couldn't defend Reid any more. Too much pointed to the offense. She needed her own evidence and right now, her words meant nothing to the physical evidence.

"What time is it?" JJ questioned softly.

"It's almost 9 PM," Swanson answered. JJ looked at him in shock.

"I have nothing else to say. Can I leave?" JJ asked.

Swanson thought for a moment and nodded.

"We may call on you later for more questioning," He hinted.

JJ nodded and got up to leave. Swanson lead her out to where her team was waiting patiently. They were all worn out. The day has taken it's toll. They couldn't believe how this case turned on their own team member. They couldn't see Reid as a serial killer, but now with the evidence pointing in Swanson's favor, they couldn't refute it either.

Defeated they headed towards the hotel they booked.

"Do you have him?" A voice asked.

"I do," She said softly.

"Are you going to finish him off?" the voice inquired.

"I'm going to play with him for a while. I'll finish him off afterwards," She chuckled.

"Alright, I am placing this in your hands. If you fail. You're both dead," The voice said darkly.

"If that's what you believe. Relax, I've done this a million times already. Nothing... Will go wrong," She said as the line went dead.

...

"Better be." The voice growled.

A/N: DUM DUUUMMM DUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMM! So... As you can see, there is some major drama on the other end of the pineapple!

So... Recap...

Swanson & Strauss say Reid is the UnSub (some of us know the truth)

Weird voices at the end...

Sorry for making Will L. a jerk! (most guys would be if they found that out anyways... (maybeee))
