Chapter 6

"We don't." Hotch agreed quietly.

"We have to be really careful. Don't rush because we can't make one mistake." Rossi advised and everyone nodded in agreement.

"We all stick together, alright?" Everyone nodded once more.

"Okay. Lets do this." Hotch said.

The remainder of the team entered the maze cautiously, careful not to touch any of the walls. They came up to a choice between turning left or right, and just took the right path. Whilst they were wandering around Prentiss spoke.

"Why the hell did Mother want us here so badly?"

"Did she give any indication that she knew this was down here?" Hotch asked her.

"I'm pretty sure she did. She knows I hate this place and she wouldn't take no as an answer. Why else would she want the whole team here? I'm sorry for getting you guys into this." Emily apologized while she rubbed her head where blood was matting her hair, but wasn't noticed by the team because of her haircolour.

"Do not try and apologize gumdrop." Garcia scolded her, "You had no idea this was going to happen." Before Emily could answer the whole team stopped in their tracks at the obstacle ahead. Dozens of broken electrical wires were hanging from the ceiling and obstructing their way.

"Shit, things just got interesting." Prentiss whispered to herself. Everyone looked at each other, at a loss as to what to do.

"What now?" Hotch sighed, running his hand haphazardly through his hair; no longer bothering to stay under the pretense that everything was okay.

"We have to just get on with it. We're not helping Morgan by just standing here." Everyone silently agreed to what Rossi was saying, then felt ashamed for not thinking that way in the first place. Trying to redeem herself, Jennifer volunteered.

"I'll go first." Everyone looked at her. They could see the matted blood on the back of her head from earlier, but still she wasn't backing down.

"Are you sure, my sunshine?" Garcia looked worried for her friend. JJ nodded in return.

"For Morgan." She began edging her way towards the wires, careful not to touch them because they had no idea how much electricity was running through them.

"Steady JJ." Rossi warned her as she daintily sidestepped a big yellow wire that was emitting snaps of electricity every now and again.

"I got it." She told them. In front of her was a very small gap between wires, but there was nowhere else to go unless she wanted to start over. She shifted into a better position and slowly eased herself through the gap. Just as she thought she'd made it her shoulder clipped the nearest wire. A piercing scream invaded the team's ears as they tried to get a look at what had happened. All JJ felt was immense pain in her shoulder as her entire being froze. She slumped forwards as it stopped and zapped a lot of her energy as she struggled not to fall into any other wires. It took a couple of seconds of the pain ringing in her ears before she realized the scream was coming from her.

"JJ?!" The team shouted at her frantically, but she zoned them out.

"I need to go in and find her." Emily told the group already moving towards the obstacle. None of them tried to stop her, as they knew that she had the best chance of getting to their colleague. Although she knew that she had to be careful or she'd get hit too, Emily hurried through the maze of wires until she spotted her friend who had somehow carried on until the end and was almost out.

"JJ!" Emily called, but the sound didn't register in the blonde agent's ears.

"JJ!" She called again, only louder this time and her friend turned to look at her.

"Don't come back, get to the end and I'll meet you there." Emily instructed and carried on as she saw her friend nod weakly. Just as the dark haired agent eased herself out form between the last two wires she spotted JJ standing weakly to the side.

"Come here, honey." Emily said softly as she pulled the former liaison into a hug, "Where did you get hit?" she asked her, looking her friend in her bright blue eyes.

"It doesn't matter, I'm fine." JJ shook her head.

"Where?" Prentiss asked firmly.

"My shoulder." JJ mumbled.

"Come here." Emily said, un-doing the top couple of buttons on JJ's shirt so she could ease it off of her shoulder. She instantly spotted the abused skin, but couldn't do anything about it whilst they were still stuck in this hellhole her father created, so she eased the shirt back over it and apologized when her friend winced.

"It should be okay, as long as you get it seen to when we get back." Emily reassured her friend just as Garcia exited the maze.

"Are you okay?" She asked JJ who nodded.

"Just a burn on her shoulder." Emily whispered to the tech analyst who nodded in return. A man's shouts suddenly reverberated around the entirety of the maze and the three girls rushed forwards just as a disheveled Hotch stumbled out.

"Oh, God, are you okay?" Emily rushed forwards, taking Hotch's forearm and inspecting the burn on it.

"Yeah, I think it was a low voltage wire." Hotch told the group of girls worriedly standing in front of him. They all looked up as a sweating Rossi walked out of the maze followed by Reid.

"Remind again why I came out of retirement." He grumbled, wiping his brow, which they all chuckled to, despite the heaviness of the situation.

"Shall we?" Hotch gestured forwards and the group continued to walk through the maze.

"Someone's so buying me a new shirt." JJ complained as she inspected the hole on her shoulder where the wire had burnt through.

"Hell, Jen, I'll buy you twenty shirts as soon as we're out of here." Prentiss told her, but the last of her sentence was drowned out as screams of pain filled the spacious room causing everyone to clutch their ears to attempt to block out the noise, but it finally calmed down.

"Morgan?!" Garcia screeched.


I'm sorry JJ! Couldn't help it:/ It just ended up being you again...
