"What d'ya got mama?" Morgan asked answering the phone to Garcia.

"Hello my furry friends, I have been looking into ex staff and students of the school, I narrowed it down further by only looking at full time staff members trying to find a women who matches are victims and I think I might have something… Morgan, can you take me off speaker for a second."

He frowned softly but did it anyway, "It's just us"

"Derek… who is there with you?" She asked softly, the use of his first name let him know it was something serious.

"You got me, Rossi, Hotch, Prentiss and Reid. JJ is talking to Peter and Sophie."

"Okay… okay… umm I might be crazy but I have something"

"Baby girl, what is going on?" He asked, worried

"Take me of speaker," she waited for the go ahead and talked "so I looked back at the time frame Prentiss gave me and I found a student who was at the school for just under a year about 10 years ago, it looks like she was sent here after an accusation of abuse in the home at the hands of her step dad, she had a sister too, it looks like she was also a student here but for allot longer, looks like a few years, this student, Jessie, killed herself when she was a teenager and I think she may be the trigger… I sent the picture to Prentiss… please tell me I am not the only one seeing this." She said the last bit quietly.

Emily opened her phone and looked at the email Penelope had sent over, "Oh" she raised her brew and widened her eyes. "Umm guys" she turned the phone to show the others, the photo showed a teenage girl with dark blonde hair and green eyes, again, she looked like the other victims other then the eye color. "She looks like…"

"JJ" Reid frowned "She looks more like JJ then the other victims"

"Someone please tell me it's a coincidence" Garcia voiced what everyone else was thinking.

"What do you have on Jessie Garcia." Hotch asked, pulling the analysts attention back to the case.

"It's odd I mean it looks like the mom didn't believe the girls and he got away with it the first time after Jessie and the mom said the sister was lying and attention seeking now what's weird is I am really struggling to find anything on her sister at all, she was about two years older I have a name of Shelby but it looks like after the death Shelby just disappears and I am even struggling to find much before then its like she just doesn't exist. This is a struggle even for me."

The team gave each other curious looks, if Garcia was struggling there was certainly something weird going on.

"I think it's time we talk to JJ" Hotch stated, he hadn't missed how odd she had been acting since they got this case, he hoped it was a coincidence but a part of him knew it wasn't.

The team headed to Peter's office just as he was exiting with Sophie, "Where is JJ?" Morgan asked, a frown on his face.

Peter looked from his wife to the team of agents stood before him, "Haven't seen her since you guys got back."

Morgan ran a hand over his face with a sigh, jaw clenching annoyed.

This time, it was Sophie who spoke, "I think I know where she is. Come on" she led the others down a hill to the back of the property leading to a small lake, right there, on the small wooden jetty JJ sat with her knees to her chest looking out at the water, at some point, she had swapped her blazer for a hoodie that she had brought with her.

It was Emily who moved first, about to make her way to JJ before she felt a soft hand on her arm as Sophie stopped her "Let me go talk to her, it isn't the first time I've found her sat out here"

Emily reluctantly nodded and ran a hand through thick dark hair as she kicked at the dirt under her feet, the rest of the team and Peter watched as Sophie made the short walk over to JJ, it was close enough that they could still see them but they wouldn't be able to hear anything being said between the two women.

Sophie shook her head with a silent smile as she smelt the tell tale smell of cigarette smoke coming from JJ's hand "I'm getting a sense of de ja vu" she stood over JJ

"Only this time you can't stop me" she stated flatly as she continued to look out across the lake. "They figured it out, didn't they?"

"They're just worried about you Shel." Sophie sat beside the younger women, keeping some distance but still beside her. "You guys have been here since yesterday and this is the first time I have seen you smoking."

"Checked the hidin place, it's still there"

"Yeah I know." Sophie chuckled then smiled at JJ's raised eyebrow as she finally looked at her "I always knew it was there, let you have it though."

They sat in silence for a few minutes "They're mad at me, aren't they?"

"No.. worried but I don't think anyone could hate you. They're just worried, we all are, you know how this looks."

JJ simply nodded, "I have done since before we got here… he's back, isn't he?" She looked at her old mentor with a mix of anger and fear in her eyes

Sophie plucked the cigarette from her fingers, tossed it into the lake and pulled her in for a hug "He can't hurt you anymore we won't him" She placed a soft kiss on top of her head.

The two sat there for a while, Sophie had a rule with the kids, never be the first to break the hug, they stayed there until it started to get colder "I don't want to tell them… they're gonna be mad at me I know it." JJ sniffled a little.

"Me and Peter will be with you every step of the way, I promise" she stood and offered her hand for JJ to take helping her up to, she gave a soft squeeze and continued to hold her hand as they walked back up the path, as they reached her team JJ fiddled with the sleeves of her hoodie, unable to make eye contact with them "I haven't been totally honest with you guys"

"Why don't we talk about this inside ?" Peter spoke, easing the tension, he led the others to a small room in the main building, a room JJ recognized as an area that use to be used for group therapy.

"Really?" She rolled her eyes at him as she headed inside with a sigh, to the team, it was out of character but to Sophie and Peter this was the young women they knew.

The chairs were arranged in a circle and JJ took a seat, she pulled her knees to her chest again as Sophie and Peter sat either side of her, she was great full for that, it made her feel a little safer.

Morgan and Prentiss looked at each other with a deep intake of breath as they all took a seat in the circle too, it was Peter who broke the silence, "We have rules in this room, your emotions are valid but we do not raise voices and we let each other speak." He didn't mean to patronize the others but he wanted to set the scene, even with adults he found it helped.

Emily kept her eyes on JJ the whole time, she couldn't help but notice how small JJ looked sitting knees to chest, chin on knees in that oversized hoodie, she looked exhausted and her normally bright blue eyes looked sad, faded and something else she couldn't quite read.

"I know who the main desire of his fantasy is… its me" she spoke quietly "I… well my name wasn't always JJ." She kept het eyes forward, avoiding anyone else, "My name is… was Shelby. Shelby Merrick, the Unsub is my step father, Walt."
