You're not dead.
The annoying beeping of the EKG is a tell-tale sign. You open your eyes but quickly close them because of the horribly bright lights. You slowly open them and see people crowding around your hospital bed making you jump a little.
"Hey, how're you doing kid?" you hear David ask softly.
"I'm okay. Aaron and JJ, how are they? Did you guys get JJ?" you look around as you finish saying that only to be met by the sad looks of your teammates. Your confusion quickly turned into understanding. "You haven't gotten JJ, have you?" They all shake their heads in disappointment. "How are you feeling pumpkin?" Penelope asks you to try and change the topic of conversation. "I'm good. How's Aaron? Did you guys call Jessica and Will and the boys? How are they doing?" you ask, ignoring Penelope's attempt.
"Whoa, slow down princess. We know you're worried about Hotch and JJ, we are too, but you have got to slow down and make sure you're fine before you start to worry about others." Derek tells you.
"I've already told you twice that I'm fine. Now, tell me what's going on with Aaron and JJ." you're starting to get angry with the team. You're not sure why they won't tell you anything, but you hope the reason isn't a bad one.
"Guys just tell her, it's not like she's going to give up. It's not horrible news, anyway, just tell her." Reid says to all of them.
"If it's not bad news, why won't you tell me?" you ask annoyed. "Because you're going to worry." Penelope says. "That is seriously the worst explanation for not telling anyone something. I'm going to worry anyway so just tell me."
"Fine, well Jessica and Jack are in Hotch's room. He got out of surgery an hour ago, but still hasn't woken up. And we ugh, we still don't have anything about JJ." David says. "How long has it been since the accident?" I ask. They all look at each other reluctantly until Reid speaks up. "It's been a week."
"What. Wait, you said Aaron just got out of surgery an hour ago, how has it been a week!"
"He needed to have another surgery." Derek explains to you. "What about Will and the boys? How are they doing?" "They're at their house. We asked Will to call us if Conner contacts him, but so far nothing." Emily explains to you.
"Poor Will, he must be so worried about her." you say sadly.
You and the team had been talking and you learned that they hadn't made progress on the case since the accident happened. David and Emily went back to the Bureau to get files so you guys could work on the case and that's what you had been doing the rest of the day. Aaron had also finally woken up and he was doing very well.
—-
It was currently 7 pm and visiting hours were almost over. Penelope and Emily were in your room looking at some files and the boys were with Aaron looking at other files in his room. Everything was going as well as it could. You sadly hadn't found anything, but then Penelope's computer began to beep.
It alarmed you at first, but then you realized it means she got a notification, and you were hoping it had something to do with the case. Penelope had put her headphones on, and you were getting a little worried because her face looked like she was watching the scariest and saddest thing ever.
JJ.
Conner probably sent her something about JJ.
She pulled the earbuds out of her ear by the string, and she said she was going to go get the boys and to not touch her computer. Emily and you looked at each other, not only in concern for Penelope but for yourselves, because you were probably going to watch JJ be hurt by a psychopath.
The boys walked in with looks of concern on their faces. "Babygirl, what's going on? You can't just drag us out of Hotch's room looking like you just saw a ghost and expect us to be okay. What's wrong?" Derek asks her, very clearly concerned. "Y/N, Em, and I were looking at files and I was also doing some searching on my computer. A couple of minutes ago I got an email. I thought nothing of it, and I opened it and it said to put in my earbuds and watch the video attached and I did. Sadly, it wasn't a cute cat video. Instead, it was a video of poor JJ. I went to get you boys so we could watch it together. When we finish watching it here, I can take it to Hotch." she says with a shaky voice.
Oh no. You're probably gonna watch her get tortured or something. She's been with that asshole for a whole week you have no idea what she could possibly be going through. You tried to mentally prepare yourself for the worst as Penelope connected her laptop to your hospital room TV. Reid closed the door, locked it, and shut the blinds so that no one would be able to see what you guys were about to watch.
" Is everyone ready?" Penelope asked before she played the video. Everyone nodded and with that as her sign to continue she began to play the video.
"Hello agents." you hear a voice say off camera. You assume it's Conner because well, who else would it be.
JJ was tied to a chair in the middle of a dimly lit room. She looked so beaten. She had bruises all over her body. She wasn't wearing anything besides her underwear, and you could see cuts and lacerations on her body from the torture he had most likely been inflicting on her. She looked so sad too. Her head was down but when she would move you could see the tear streaks on her face from crying. She had a black eye, but her other one was puffy from all the crying she had probably done in the last week.
"As you can probably see I have been having a lot of fun with your precious agent Jareau. She's been a lot of fun. She tries to fight back, but her and I both know that won't help her, it only makes me angrier. Now, I'm sure once I send this to agent Garcia, she will try to trace it, but I'm letting you know right now that it's a waste of your time because by the time this video reaches you, me and pretty face over here will have left. Now, onto the good stuff. You all interrupted my plans and that made me very upset. You know, I wasn't originally going to take agent Jareau here. My original plan was to take agent Y/L/N but sadly, she looked a little stuck and I wouldn't have been able to get her out in time to escape, so I took the next best thing. It was really sweet you wanted me to take you instead of her Y/N. I've been watching you guys and I'm really glad to see you and Agent Hotchner are both awake and doing well. I was really hoping you would both be alive to see your fellow agent in trouble. I can tell you all care a lot for Jennifer so i'm not going to hurt her, much. Anyway, I just wanted to check in with you guys and show you how your precious friend is doing. I'll catch you on the flip side." And with that the video ended.
Everyone in the room was very clearly upset. Penelope had started crying, Emily, Derek, Reid and David were staring off into different places in the room, and you were looking at all of them trying not to cry. Reid looked up and you guys made eye contact.
You both hated each other but you each knew what JJ meant to the other. You silently mouthed to him if he was okay, and he nodded asking you in return. You nodded at him and looked away thinking to yourself,
'I am not ok.'
A/N: hope you all enjoyed. Don't forget to drink water.
