JJ's pov:
I walked back and forth bouncing Cara in my arms, until she finally settled down. I noted that she didn't seem to like men very much.

"Cara where have you been the last few days?" I asked her, continuing to walk. "Man." She mumbled. "A man took you? Where'd you guys go?"

"We go house. Kids there too. He hurted me." She looked up at me, tears welling in her eyes. "He's never going to hurt you again." I promised her.

I think she had gotten more comfortable with me, because she started talking a lot more than she had before. "Did he say his name?"

"He call him Jared." She muttered. We got a name. This is going to be over finally. "Thank you Cara. You did so good you helped us so much." I smiled at her.

"I home now?" She asked hopefully. My face fell. "No sweetie I'm sorry."

"I go with you?" She asked. You have no idea how badly I wanted to say yes. "No baby. You're going to find a really nice family though! And it's going to be so much fun." I wished I could believe myself.

"No." She said firmly. "I'm sorry." I said again, try to stop myself from crying.

Dr. Robbins walked in the door, causing Cara to tense up again. "You remember dr. Robbins right?" I smiled. "She's very nice." I whispered.

I laid Cara down in the bed, much to her dislike. I walked over to the blonde woman. "I think we should do the rape kit soon. Do you think she'll be okay with it?" She whispered.

"Set it up. I'll talk to her."

I closed the blinds, and tried to get my hands to stop shaking.

I sat on the edge of the bed again, and Cara grabbed my shirt. "The man that took you. Where did he hurt you?"

She pointed to her stomach, where the scratches were. "Did he hurt you somewhere else?"

Her face turned worried. Tears filled her eyes again. "You can tell me. You don't have to be scared anymore."

Her hands hovered over her privates. "Hurt." She whined. My heart dropped, but I made sure not to show it. "Can dr. Robbins check you there? It won't hurt you I promise."

A few tears fell down the side of her face. "It's going to be really quick. You can close your eyes and I'll hold your hand. It'll be over before you know it."

"Okay." She nodded. I held both of her hands in mine, and she shut her eyes tightly.

Dr. Robbins  pulled her pants down slightly, quickly taking the test and then pulling them back up. "It's all done." I whispered to her. "It's all over."

"Are you okay?" I asked her. She rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand, and nodded. "I'm going to go outside, I'll be back though okay?" Cara nodded again, her lip trembling. "I'll be back."

I walked out of the room and back with to the team, who were still in the hallway. "What happened?" Asked Hotch. "We've got a name. Jared." I mumbled.

Emily's pov:
JJ came out of the room almost on the verge of tears. Hotch called Garcia again. JJ walked over to me, and rested face down on my shoulder. "Are you okay?" I asked, lightly rubbing over her back. "Yeah." She sighed.

"The oracle of knowledge present and at your service." We heard Garcia over the phone. "Look for a man named 'Jared' within 20 miles. 30-40s." Derek said.

"Alright I have one name for you and I think you're going to like it. Jared Gilbert 37 year old. Single; divorced. Lives alone. Get this. He had twins, 4 years old. A girl and a boy. They both died in a house fire last year. Actually it was exactly one year ago last week."
