Anna and Hotch had gone to see Jacob Desmond in prison while the remaining members of the team had taken off for Chicago. During the drive Anna had stayed dead quiet, she had to keep her emotions under complete control and check otherwise Hotch will have no choice but to take her off and she'll be damned if that happens.

This was the first solid lead in years and she wasn't going to let it slip through her fingers. After 12 long cruel years she could finally be reunited with her daughter. Hotch had glanced at her, he read people for a living and the read he was getting off Anna was a desperate mother trying to find her child back.

If his son was stolen from him he'd have done just about anything to get his little boy back at any cost. He had turned his attention back to the road but Anna had already caught his glance.

"Hotch, I understand you're a profiler and you read people for a living but please don't do it with me. People still think I'm crazy for thinking my daughter is still alive, my own brother wanted to commit me because he thought I let grief and depression consume me" Anna spoke.

"If my son was kidnapped at birth and taken from me, I'd do exactly what you would be doing. I wouldn't give up hope. I would look for him everyday until I couldn't anymore" Hotch told her.

She had given him a sideway glance. "You have a son?"

He nodded. "His name is Jack, he lives with his mother. We're divorced but I try and be there for him as much as I can"

"I'm sorry"

"No reason to be sorry. The job and me being gone got to be too much for Haley to handle so she had left and took Jack with her. She allows me to see him whenever I can"

"Jordan"

"I'm sorry?"

"My daughter, her name is Jordan. Hank's son had named her. He came up with Jordan and Hank said Lynn for her middle name. Jordan Lynn. She would have just turned 12 this past May"

As Hotch was listening he couldn't help but think of JJ and Will's adopted daughter, Jordan. She had just turned 12 in May. And they had found her 12 years ago a few months after her birth. He was getting a really bad feeling about this in the pit of his stomach.

After a long drive they had arrived at the prison where Jacob was and gone inside. When Jacob had heard he had visitors he knew who it would be for sure. He was escorted to the visiting area with chains clamped tight around his wrists and ankles. Hotch watched as Anna paced impatiently.

There was a buzzing noise and the door opened and Jacob had been escorted in, they had brought him to the chair and cuffed him to the metal table. He smirked evilly at Anna, he leaned back slightly in the chair.

"Well well, if it isn't Special Agent Anna Carter. It's been a long time. I was sad not to get any Christmas cards from you while I was in here. I've been waiting to see you, it's been far to long sweetheart" He spoke from the chair. "How ya been sweet cheeks?"

"I'll sweet cheeks your pathetic ass if you don't wipe that smirk off your face. You're gonna give me answers and believe me, I'll get them one way or another. Even if I have to beat them outta you" Anna told him, her voice was icy and deadly. "I know it was you that took my daughter from the hospital 12 years ago in Chicago. Where is she?"

"Oh you had a baby girl, congratulations"

She had walked over the heels of her boots hitting the concrete floor hard, she had thrown out her arm as hard as she could. Her first connecting to his jaw.

"Anna, if you can't control yourself then this stops now" Hotch told her firmly.

"If you don't wanna be apart of this Hotch, then wait for me outside but I'm finding out what this bastard did with my daughter" Anna told the older profiler, her voice still icy.

Jacob had spit out some blood and drool, the smirk still on his face. "I always knew you had been a feisty one. I bet little Jordan will inherit that fire you got inside of you"

"What did you do to my daughter?"

"What makes you think I did anything to her?"

"I'm not stupid Jacob. You wanted revenge and to hurt me you used my daughter. You stole her after she was born. I watched you drug my IV, you wanted me to die. Guess what, I'm alive. And so is my daughter. What did you do to her?"

"I'll tell you, on one condition. I get out of this hell hole"

"How about you tell me and I allow you to continue breathing"

"You'll keep me alive, without me. You'll never know about Jordan. She'd be about what, 12 right? Her birthday is in May so it must have just past. Did you plan anything? A party? I wonder what theme it was"

Anna's patience was just about wearing thin with this bastard she had gotten closer and grabbed his throat and started to squeeze. "If you don't tell me what I wanna know, I'll make sure the word gets out you're working for the feds and if that happens you'll get beat down like the dog you are"

He glared at her. "I…can't talk…if I…can't breathe"

She had let go of his throat but kept the deadly stare on him, ready to jump on him if he didn't cooperate. The glare had stayed on Jacob's face.

"You're still the same as before, lying to yourself to get what you want. You lied to me and used me. You hurt me so it was only fair I hurt you, so I watched and waited for the perfect time to do it. The day Jordan was born I knew that be the perfect moment, you laid up in a hospital bed. In too much pain to do anything so I figured what the hell. Hit a woman, a mother, where it hurts the most. Your precious baby. I just had to make sure you wouldn't be an issue so I slipped something into your IV then I dressed as a doctor and went to your boy toy, Hank Voight saying little Jordan needed some additional testing and he handed her over with no problem. Once I was in the clear I took off out of Chicago and ended up in this shit hole. Washigton DC. I raised the little one up until I got busted. I got arrested and Jordan was taken by this guy's team. I hadn't seen Jordan since I got arrested. So I really couldn't tell you if she's even alive or not. And if she isn't alive, you don't deserve to be a mother. All you would teach that kid is how to lie and manipulate people, just like you lied and manipulated me"

"I was doing my job Jacob! I didn't have a choice"

"Yes you did. And you chose to screw me, so therefore I screwed you. We're done here, I'm going back to my cell. Guard!"

The door opened and the guard came back and uncuffed him from the table and cuffed him back. He was being escorted out. The words stung and hurt Anna. Jacob had been a dead end. She stormed outside to get some air and Hotch followed her.

"Anna what was that in there? What's this history the two of you have?" Aaron asked.

Taking a deep breath she looked at him. "Jacob and I were in love"
