Author's Note:

I have no idea where this is going. I'm feeling down and I need to write. I have other projects going on outside FF so I may not come back to this soon. Let's just enjoy the first chapter together shall we?

When the team is abducted, is up to the other BAU agents along with some friends to track this fiendish team of UNSUBs down and bring them home.

Saving the Heroes

Prologue:

The team was called to small town in Minnesota called New Hamlet. There had been a series of abductions of both men and women who were found with distinctive brands on the wrists that Morgan recognized from his time as a cop in Chicago. The perpetrator had died behind bars so Morgan expressed interest in joining the team to discover the connection. Hotch approved his request immediately.

They were about a fifteen minutes away from the town and Garcia was getting jittery. Morgan looked at her.

"Nerves baby-girl?" he asked.

"I don't like leaving my safe little nest," she said.

Hotch glanced up from the case files. "The town is in a fairly remote area. The local police expressed interest in having you there to sort through the small amount of computer data they have."

"I know but I have a bad feeling about this tiny little lost town."

Morgan held her hand. "Don't worry baby-girl. I won't let anything happen to you."

The town was so small they had to go to the second-closest town for the jet to land. The pilot spoke over the intercom.

"We're being redirected to small private hangar due to traffic on the main runway."

Reid looked alarmed. "Guys I memorized the flight schedule. There are no other planes landing in this area."

J.J. put away her files. "You don't know everything Spence. Maybe there was a mechanical problem and the planes had to be redirected."

"I hope your right J.J."

No one spoke as the plane landed. Lewis was the last to get off the plane and looked around.

"Now what?" she said.

Hotch dialed his phone and then put it down. "There is no service out here. We'll have to use the phone inside."

Reid heard it first. The faint hiss of a dart. Before anyone else could react he threw himself in front J.J. He was hit in the back with a tiny dart with a red tail. The rest of the team pulled out their weapons but no one knew where to aim. Then Hotch was hit in his shoulder. Lewis in the leg. Morgan in the stomach. Garcia the forearm. J.J. couldn't hide under Reid's thin frame and was shot in the ankle. The pilot hid in the cockpit but failed to lock the door. A masked man hit him in the neck. He was left to be their witness.

Two masked men loaded the team into a van and sped out of the hangar. No would know they were missing for at least an hour. Their fate was in their hands now.

Chapter One:

The bullpen at the BAU was mostly empty. Some members of Ian Smith's team worked next to and around Jennifer Jareau and Spencer Reid. Annie Jones was particularly upset as she looked over at Reid's desk full of a combination of paper work and abstract equations. Luke Marlon appeared equally dismayed he glanced at Jareau's family photos. They both stood up with trepidation as the Smith gestured for them to go to the conference room.

"This isn't right," Jones said. "It is their conference room. Ours is across the hall."

"Cruz is waiting for us there," Smith said as they walked over there.

Kevin Lynch suddenly rushed passed them. Of all his team members, he knew Lynch would be the most upset.

His senior special agent Emma Keller was there waiting in there also. She looked as tense as he felt.

Once everyone was seated Cruz passed out folders.

Cruz turned on the monitor and the team of missing agents appeared.

"I know this is hard, but these agents are depending on you to find them," he began. "We will use every resource available to track to down the UNSUB responsible. You are among the best agents we have. I trust you completely to bring our friends and colleagues home."
