Hotch and Rossi looked up from the break room table to see Genesis slowly taking steps into the room. He was visibly shaking.

''You okay,kid?''the Italian asked.

Against his better judgement,Genesis nodded. ''Jay suggested I have...one of you,''he motioned towards the BAU team,''stay in the house with me since I'm being targeted,too.''

Horatio carefully approached his son,and gently guided him to a seat near the youngest of the BAU.

''If that is what he's suggesting,then so be it. I'm not going to argue with him,''the elder responded.

''Speaking of which,where is he?''Reid asked.

Genesis shrugged and tried to answer,but panicked footsteps resounded in his ears and he looked towards the door to see a young officer all but barging into the room.

''Lieutenant Calleigh! Mr. Vendadi was just hit by a truck and taken away!''

Horatio fumed. ''Miss Jareau,take my son and his kids home and stay with them. That's an order. My place is here,and I sure as hell hope this is my last case.''

The blond nodded and grabbed her bag. "Come on,kids!"

Aidan and Dorian didn't know what to do. Their father was missing,so they naturally looked to their "mother" for instruction. But,Genesis was in such a state of shock that he didn't even notice the agent pulling him up to his feet.

"Genesis,come on!" JJ couldn't shake the redhead,so she waved her hand and snapped her fingers in front of his face.

It took a moment,but Genesis finally snapped out of it.

Genesis jerked away and darted for the young officer who'd delivered the worst news of the day.

''What do you mean he was taken?''the youth barked.

The young woman cowered at the redhead,but managed to find it in her to pull up security footage. ''Here!''

Genesis grabbed her chair and shoved it and her aside.

JJ came up to the desk and gently lay her hand on Genesis' arm.

''We need to go,''she urged,''Let them handle this.''

Genesis turned his head and glared at the blond. He wanted to be a part of this. Just so he could personally beat the shit of Rosie. The cameras didn't show her,didnt show who Jay had crossed the street to see,but it didn't matter. He just knew it was her. And he didn't care that he'd be beating on a girl. He'd happily accept the assault charges if it meant he got to have a piece of her. Just wearing her blood on his hands. That's all he needed.

''Genesis,''Horatio called. The younger male straightened up and turned away from the computer monitor.

''Fine,''he bitterly spat.

Aidan and Dorian were careful on their approach. Athos kept his mouth shut. He didn't have any part in this,but right now,he felt better off if he was seen and not heard.

Rosie glanced over her shoulder from the passenger seat at the body lying in the back. Jay was lying face down with his hands and arms tied,his right leg at an odd angle that should make her cringe,but didn't.

His black hair was flopped over his head,hiding his face. The man would be sore when he woke up,but it was of little concern to her. Rosie figured that he'd tough it out and be fine.

''We almost there,Nick?''she looked to the young man in the driver's seat.

He glanced out the window and sighed. ''You're outta your mind.''

The redhead blinked in confusion. ''About what?''

Nick,a thin and wary man,was too aware of the danger sitting in the back of the truck. Having an Angel in the back made him antsy and he drove cautiously.

''You have no idea what you're doing. He ever gets loose,don't come crying to me,miss.''

Rosie rolled her eyes. ''Please. I'll be fine. He won't attack me. Besides,he's incapacitated.''

''Don't bet on it,''Nick warned,''I've seen a lot of people do a lot of stupid things. But you top the list.''

The girl next to him didn't care. ''If he's smart,he won't attack me,''Rosie corrected.

Nick turned off the road to a bumpy path. ''He won't have to.''

''Why do you say that?''Rosie wondered.

Nick payed close attention to the path,eyes fixed on the barely visible road. ''He has people that can do it for him.''

Once JJ managed to pull Genesis out of the building,she drove him and his children home,mentally getting ready for one hell of a case. A serial killer leaving bodies daily,each pair more mangled than the last showed the killer was escalating dramatically.

"Do I need to stop and get anything?"she asked gently.

Genesis sat staring out the passenger side window. "I'll cook when we get home."

JJ sighed softly. She found Genesis confusing. He had some...unusual characteristics and vibes about him. A few of those vibes made it difficult for JJ to wrap her head around.

For one,Genesis was male,yet often presented himself as a submissive female. And then,in the blink of an eye,he could shift to a dominant male. He bounced on the spectrum so much and so quickly that she wasn't sure what to make of him. Genesis moved like a man,but often spoke with the vocabulary of a young woman.

Earlier,he had cowered like a weeping mother,and then shifted to an enraged,possesive alpha male when he heard Jay had been kidnapped.

Genesis was strange. And he displayed certain behaviors that Horatio hadn't. It almost felt like there were two people trapped in one body. Genesis could be gentle,poised and delicate in one minute,and ready to rip someone's still beating heart out of their chest the next.

"I'm sure he'll be fine,"JJ spoke.

"It's not Jay I'm concerned about. I have a hunch on who took him,and I can promise that they may not live long enough to regret their decision."

"Care to let me in on that hunch?" It felt more like a command than a request,and Genesis was not about to jump to conclusions. He folded his hands,crossed his legs,and stared straight ahead.

"Not until it's confirmed."
