"Garcia I want you to search for any and all abandoned buildings within a five to ten mile radius of any sort of body of water," Hotch ordered. "And see if you can track down Will's last known location with his phone. Hopefully he didn't disable the GPS before he threw it."

"Already on it, sir," she said typing away at her computer.

They all stood around in quiet anticipation, waiting to hear what Garcia finds if anything at all. A few more minutes pass before she looks up at everyone.

"Will's last known location was somewhere around Landermine lake. I can't get an exact location but I'll start looking for abandoned buildings around there." The sound of her typing continued and she added, "Uh oh."

"What uh oh?" Emily asked stepping closer. She was finding it harder and harder to hold herself together. She had a job to do and she couldn't do it if she let herself think about her wife. Only problem was that's all she was thinking about. She's hardly slept because she spends most of her nights here in case they put the live stream back up after ending it and the nights she does sleep, she cries most of the night, praying to whoever might hear her, asking for JJ to be okay and for them to find her.

She hated that everybody else was watching her wife get beaten and tortured. Seeing her in just her bra and a pair of pants. She knew how vulnerable JJ feels and she couldn't imagine what she's going through.

Are they leaving her in a room alone after the camera turns off? Is she left alone with her thoughts or are they torturing her more? After all, this was only ever about JJ. The only reason they're even using a camera and sending them a live link is to get inside her head. Let her know that we're watching yet can't find her yet. It's a manipulation tactic and a way to mentally and emotionally abuse her. And it seemed to be working despite how strong her wife is.

"Other than a few streets with housing- which is new, everywhere else is just one giant construction site and it honestly looks like it's all been abandoned. The last day any team has worked on it was four months ago."

"That's good though," Morgan said. "That narrows our search down a lot so we're even closer to finding out where they're keeping her."

"Not so fast sugar," Garcia replied looking up at him. "Yes, we narrowed our search down quite a bit but this is still a large area. We don't have time to knock on every door of every building and house."

"Says who? That's better than sitting here and doing nothing but watch her get tortured," Frankie added. "And I'm not the most familiar with the area but Jane and I have been through a few times."

"Garcia's right," Rossi stepped in. "We at least need a type of building they're in. That would help a lot."

They all turned their attention back to the screen that was still black, waiting for a live connection.

"The room was huge," Emily remembered. "Unless there are mansions with ginormous basements, I don't think they'd be in a house."

"Emily is right," Reid agreed. "Garcia are there any old warehouses or business buildings with basements?"

"Why business buildings with basements?" Koreas asked and Reid looked over at him.

"Because those are really the only buildings that could have a room that large. Not every business has a basement although most due whether it be for weather purposes or storage but even then a room that large could be pushing it. I think they're keeping her in a warehouse. It makes the most sense."

"There are seven businesses with basements although three look like they could be big enough to be that room. And as for warehouses....there's five."

"That narrows our search down more but we still need-"
