Shock jolted through his body as Hotch listened to the voice on the other end of the line. No, Why did it have to be her, he thought as Agent Morgan continued to explain what was happening. Emily Prentiss was missing and he knew who had taken her.

After flipping his cell shut, all Hotch could do was pace around his office as the images of what had happened to the other victims that this unsub had abducted flashed through his head.

He jumped round swiftly as his office door was flung open, and his gaze locked onto a watery eyed Penelope Garcia. "Hotch, what are we going to do?"

"I don't know Garcia." He answered honestly, dropping his stare to his shoes.

"But Hotch…"

"I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!" He almost screamed as salty liquid began to appear in the corners of his eyes.

"Sorry." Garcia turned to leave but was stopped in her tracks.

"No, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to snap at you like that. I just don't know how to deal with this." More tears built up and threatened to escape the once unbreakable Aaron Hotchner eyes.

"Sir, you need to find her." Penelope announced and quickly fled his office before he had a chance to reply.

She was right. What was he doing, he needed to do his job and find the woman he had recently fallen for. He had to find her, save her and finally tell her just how he felt, and that's exactly what he was going to do.
