A flash of blonde hair was all Spencer Reid caught of JJ as she rushed through the bullpen and up the stairs to Hotch's office.
A sigh sounded from beside him and he turned around to face Morgan and Prentiss.
"Looks like we have a case."
At Morgan's words Prentiss and Reid nodded solemnly and went to grab their go-bags from under their desks as Hotch, JJ, and Rossi came down the stairs with their own go-bags.
"Child abduction in Los Angeles, California, plane will be ready by the time we get to the airstrip, let's go."
The three that were in the bullpen quickened their pace and all the members of the BAU entered the elevator doors. The last thing they all saw and heard from the BAU bullpen was Garcia waving and telling them to be safe.

On the plane Reid, Morgan, JJ, and Prentiss sat in the four seats surrounding the table in the middle and Hotch and Rossi sat on the couch across, Garcia face popped up on the screen and Hotch started the meeting. "Alright so what do we know?"
"It's been nine hours and counting since eight-year-old Terra Daniels was abducted from her parents summer home in Los Angeles, California." Garcia informed them in a sad, soft voice.
"Parents have any enemies?" Asked Morgan, barely glancing up from the file in front of him.
"Nothing is documented that says so."
"This Unsub is confident, he was somehow able to get in and get Terra quickly and quietly without waking the parents and without Terra screaming for help." Reid remarked, flipping through his own file more rapidly than the others.
"Think she knew him?" JJ asked.
"It's likely given like Reid said, that she didn't scream and there hasn't been said to be any signs of a struggle." Prentiss spoke, her lips pursed, brow furrowing slightly.
"Unless the Unsub drugged her before she really had a chance to react or had some sort of weapon to scare her." Hotch added in.
"I don't like it." Rossi said, finally bringing himself into the conversation, drawing the others attention to him, "When a child is kidnapped the offender typically watches them for a while, stalks them, makes sure that the child is their ideal. Terra and her family just arrived in Los Angeles three days ago, so why Terra?"
"Maybe the Unsub only needed a couple days to know that Terra was the ideal he wanted." Morgan guessed.
"Ideal for what?" JJ asked hints of confusion and frustration already filling her tone and Reid held her hand under the table, running his thumb slowly over the skin of her hand, cases with children always got to her, making her think of Henry.
"Figuring that out will be the key to finding the Unsub, hopefully before he decides that for whatever reason he doesn't need Terra anymore, resulting in her more than possible death."
—
The case only took two and a half days. They found Terra but unfortunately she was already did.
By the time they were on the plane back home, everyone trying to piece together their sanity and the pieces of themselves that some cases take.
JJ hadn't said a word since they caught the Unsub, she was currently sitting alone in the back corner of the plane, staring blankly out the window. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, hands shaking, and eyes glassy from the tears she tried so hard to hold back.
Reid had been watching her since the plane took off about thirty minutes prior and after making sure Hotch and Rossi were asleep, he nodded to Prentiss and Morgan. Together the three of them made their way to JJ, sitting in the seats around her
Reid sat on one side of JJ with Morgan on the other side of her and Prentiss on the other side of Reid. "JJ?" Reid tried quietly, but she didn't answer.
"Jennifer look at me." Reid said in a firmer voice this time, putting his hand under her chin and pushing her face gently towards him and the others, away from the window.
"Sp-en-ce." At the sound of her voice breaking, Reid picked her up and pulled her into his lap and Prentiss and Morgan moved closer both of them hugging Reid and her.
"We got you JJ." Morgan assured her, kissing her hair and running his hands down her back.
"Henry's okay JJ, you know that right?" Emily reminded her, getting to the root of the problem and how it related to what was really bothering her about the case.
In response to all their words, JJ just sat sobbing into Reid's chest as her lovers did their best to try and calm her down.
"My house tonight?" Reid whispered to the three of them, getting nods of confirmation and a sniffle from JJ. Reid's penthouse had more than enough room for all of them, given that Reid's businesses made him very wealthy along with his pay from being an FBI profiler.
"Jayje, you got to calm down." Reid said softly when he heard the pilot say to prepare for landing, "We're about to land which means Hotch and Rossi are about to wake up, we can't let them see us like this." Even though he said that, he didn't let her go just yet. He held her tight for a few more moments and trailed light kisses over her cheeks before he released her to Emily.
As they disappeared to the back of the plane to wash JJ's face, Reid turned to his male lover, "How are you holding up?"
"I'm good, just worried about the both of them, cases with children get to Emily too, just in a different way. Hopefully Hotch lets us all go home when we land instead of doing our reports, it's going to be a long night."
"Yeah it will be, but we'll get through it."
Luck was on their side because as JJ and Emily came back to their seats and Hotch and Rossi woke up, Hotch said, "Everyone head home tonight, we'll start fresh at 9 in the morning."
Everyone departed the pane, getting into SUV's and driving to the BAU parking lot to get their own cars.

When Spencer got to his house he exited the elevator, tossing his messenger bag on the couch, undoing his tie as he walked to his room and entered his closet. He undressed and redressed in a FBI t-shirt and basketball shorts as he heard the elevator open.
He walked out of his bedroom and back into the foyer to see Derek walking in with an overnight bag.
"Hey Pretty Boy." Derek smiled as he walked over and planted a kiss to Spencer's lips, pulling away before it was deepened so they didn't get carried away. "I've been wanting to do that all day."
"Me too, it's been hard to resist the urge, even on a case." Spencer agreed, walking over to the kitchen, beginning to pull out pots and pans, "I was thinking we cook dinner tonight, give the girls an easy night and extra time with Henry."
"Sounds like a good idea to me, let's get started." Derek said washing and drying his hands.
"Yeah just one thing first." Spence said, and before Derek could realize Spencer turned him around and pinned him to the sink, hungrily pressing their lips together, deepening it almost immediately, running his tongue slowly over Derek's causing both men to groan softly.
"That is how we say hello to each other from this point on." Spencer smirked as he pulled away.
"You got it Pretty Boy." Derek chuckled as they started pulling out the ingredients to make Shrimp Scampi with Linguine.
Fifteen minutes later they heard the elevator again and could hear the sounds of Emily and JJ moving around the front room, so they went out to greet them.
"Hey." They said Reid kissing JJ and Morgan kissing Emily before they switched.
"Pence! Der!" Henry shouted excitedly as he ran back into the front room from the hall bathroom.
"Hey Henry." Spencer said as he bent down to pick up the toddler, putting him between he and Derek.
"You not tired little man?" Derek asked him as all the adults moved to sit around the room.
Henry shook his head, "I hungy."
"Well it's a good thing that Derek and l made dinner then huh?"
The toddler brightened up a little more at the mention of food and nodded his head enthusiastically.
"Why don't you stay here and play with Mommy and Emily while we go finish up and after we all eat, maybe we can watch a movie with you, how does that sound?" Spencer asked, settling him down next to JJ and going back into the kitchen with Derek, kissing Emily's cheek on the way.
Dinner was a quick and mostly quiet affair, Henry doing most of the talking with the adults commenting appropriately.
They did end up watching a movie with Henry after dinner, but he fell asleep halfway through so they all put him to bed in the spare room that he used when he slept over before making their way to Spencer's master bedroom.
"Thank you." JJ and Emily said into the dark and quiet room as all four of them cuddled up on the bed.
"Why are you thanking us?" Derek asked, turning onto his side to look at both of them.
"For tonight, letting me cry, making sure I had time with Henry, cooking, all of it."
"Tonight was a great way to unwind, distress." Emily added.
"You don't have to thank us." Reid said leaning over and kissing both their cheeks.
"We like being there for you, especially when a case gets to you, it's okay to be down sometimes." Morgan added his agreement.
"Guys just accept the thank you." Emily said in exasperation but the smile on her lips showed that she wasn't really upset.
JJ chuckled to herself.
"Well in that case…" Morgan started.
"You're very welcome." Spencer finished for him.
They cuddled for a few more minutes, trading kisses as they all drifted off to sleep tangled in each other.
