              J.J.'s POV

     I walked into the room outside the lobby, and I was greeted by a woman with dark brown hair and a serious face. 

"Mrs. Forresster?  Hi I'm agent Jareau."  I shook hands with Mrs.  Forresster.  My aunt had called me saying that her neighbor needed help just this morning.  Although she never quite told me what it was.

"Thank you for seeing me."  The lady said, she sounded quite on edge which made me infer that this was rather urgent. 

"My aunt told me it was an emergency."  I responded. 

"Yes.."  She murmured as she fiddled inside her purse searching for something.  When she finally found what she was looking for she whipped it out and let me see it. 

"She said to give this to you" Mrs. Forrester said slightly out of breath.

I stared at the picture in shock.  My aunt gave her a picture of me and two best friends?  We were in our soccer jerseys, I was in the middle holding up a my index finger, as if saying we were number one.  My arms were around my two best friends neck and we were all smiling. 

"You played soccer."  She stated. 

"I don't understand.."  I inquired. 

"My daughter Danielle plays soccer too for North Mammon, the varsity team?  She got a schlorship to Penn State."  She said proudly, although her voice sounded clogged as if she were about to burst into tears. 

"I'm sorry ma'am.  My aunt didn't really explain the nature of this emergency."  I said skeptically. 

"No one is looking for them."  I could see a vein pop out from her forehead in distress.  "Here"  She pleaded. 

She searched through her bag again and this time came up with a different picture.  I was similar to mine.  It had three girls, in the same uniform.  There was a blonde in the middle, and two other girls on the sides, one with brown hair, another with reddish brown.  I stared down at the girls, each of them had a smile on their faces, they held a soccer ball in the middle. 

"My daughter Danielle and her two friends Lilith and Iris.  They've been missing for five days, and I know someone took them but no one will believe me."  She rushed.

"Missing?"  I asked.

"Yeah."  She rifled through her bag yet again but this time pulling out a notebook.  Out of the notebook she took a newspaper clipping of one of my team and I's latest solves, "This is you right? You saved this girl right?"

"No, no, not just me, the team here did."  I repsonded. 

"It's been five days now, can you ask them to help me?  No one is looking for my Danielle."
