POV JJ

"Clear!" I call out after sweeping the room I was in. Everyone cleared the building, and no one was here. It doesn't look like he even brought them here. "Shit" Morgan says as we all group up in the center room. The address Pen gave us was to Harry's mother ranch home, but it looks like it's been abandoned. "What happened Garcia?" Hotch asks after Rossi called her. "I don't know. That was where the IP address was pinging from." She rushes out clearly overwhelmed and scared for her friends. "Sir, we found a laptop" an officer says walking up to us. We follow the officer into a side room and see a table with a laptop on top with a few servers. "Garcia I'm going to read off a few numbers" Morgan says and she ok's it. I step out of the room as I feel my breathing pick up. I walk as calmly as I can out of the house and lean against the side. I try to regulate my breathing but all I can think about was the panicked look on Emily's face, a bang, a scream then nothing. We know nothing! I killed my friend. I get brought out of my spiral at the sound of my phone ringing. "Jareau" I answer after taking a breath. "Agent Jareau, did you like my trick?" West asks with a laugh. I tense up and on instinct scan the area. "I'm not there you can relax. I have an alarm that triggered when you walked in. Now, care to finish the game?" He asks. My eye scans the area again to find anyone but for some reason I'm frozen. Not able to move. "Are they both ok?" I ask trying to keep my voice calm. "Dr. Reid is fine" he says making my heart stop. "Agent Prentiss?" I ask closing my eyes. "Are you ready to choose?" He asks. "Wha's the point if she's dead?" I ask getting a bit angry. "That's a choose you have to make agent Jareau. Do you believe she is dead. Or do you want to take that chance and choose Dr. Reid?" He asks and I can hear the smile in his voice making me sick. "Come on Jennifer" he says and my blood run colds on how he says my name. I look up feeling eyes on me and see the team walking my way. I motion for them telling them he's on the phone making Morgan whip his phone out. I put the phone on speaker. "Jennifer, you know what happens when you don't choose" he says making a tutting noise. I mouth Rossi and Hotch telling them a quick recap and they nod their heads. Morgan shakes his head saying Pen has nothing. "Ok, Harry. I'll play your game" I say. "Good choice agent Jareau!" He says and I can hear the joy in is voice disgusting me. My eyes are pleading with Hotch, and I can see the sympathy in it but his trust which makes me scared. "Who do you choose? Dr. Reid or Agent Prentiss?" He asks. "I want to make sure Spencer is ok." I say and he sighs. "You're disappointing me" he says. "Does he know?" I ask. "He's been calling out for her, crying and cursing me." He says. "Then there's no harm in letting me talk to him. That's my condition. Or you can play the game yourself" I say in a hardened voice. It's quite for a long moment making all of us hold our breath. "Fine" he grits out and we let a sigh out. I can hear movement then a door opening. "You have one minute" he says. "Spencer?" I ask gently. "JJ?" He breaths out making me let a breath I was holding out. "Are you ok?" I ask and he hums. "I... I don't know about Emily. I saw her get shot but I... I don't know. I don't know" he cries out breaking my heart. "It's ok. You're ok. Can you tell me anything?" I say. "Horses... Train. I... I don't know" he says distressed. "That's ok. You did good. You gave Pen something. We're coming. I'm coming" I say. "Ok, that's enough" West says making me panic a bit. I look at Morgan and he holds a finger up. "We have him" Morgan whispers and we all rush to the cars. I hop in with Hotch and he speeds off behind Rossi and Morgan. "Enough wasting time. Choose" he says getting impatient. I look at the GPS to see we are 15 minutes out. Hotch had called Rossi so they could hear, and everything was silent. "I have your word the other won't be harmed?" I ask and I feel hotch glance at me. "Yes, I promise" he says. "Ok." I say and see we are now 7 minutes, not surprising based on how fast we are going. Tears start to fall from my eyes., I know I can't stall him longer. "You have to the count of 5" he says, and I hear a click of a gun. I hear a muttered shit over Hotches phone, and we speed up. "One" he counts, and I clench my fist. "Two" my breath hitches slightly. "Three" I look at Hotch, "I trust you" He whispers nodding at me. "Four" he says harder. "Emily" I say letting tears fall. "Agent Prentiss?" He asks sounding happy I chose. "Yes, I choose Emily" I say again. "I didn't think you would choose. We're more alike than you think Jennifer. I am sorry. I'll send you the address to get Dr. Reid. I hope to talk to you again Jennifer." He says and hangs up.
