Derek sat at his desk reading a file when his desk phone rang.

"Morgan," he said into the receiver.

"Agent Morgan, I'm terribly sorry to bother you, but we have a young woman in the lobby demanding to see you. She said it's an emergency regarding Dr. Spencer Reid," the security guard said.

"Send her up," Derek said.

He hung up the phone and got up from his desk. He walked out of his office and straight towards the elevators, where he'd wait for the arrival of the young woman. He only waited a few seconds before the doors opened and she walked off the elevator.

"Brooke, what's wrong?" he said concerned.

"Spencer's been kidnapped. I saw it, they just took him," she said as tears streamed from her eyes.

"Ok, baby girl, ok. Calm down, come with me," he said as he put his arm around her shoulder and lead her to the conference room.

On his way to the conference room, he signaled Luke, Tara, and J.J. to follow him. He also gave a brief knock on Rossi's door as he passed by. As Brooke settled into one of the chairs, the rest of the team came walking in.

"What's going on?" Luke asked as he looked at the crying brunette.

"Reid's been kidnapped," Derek said as he stood next to Brooke.

"What?" J.J. gasped.

"Who's this?" Rossi said.

"This is Reid's girlfriend, Brooke," Derek introduced.

The woman looked up with an embarrassed smile. "Lovely way to meet you all," she sniffled.

"It's ok, just tell us what happened," Tara said kindly.

Brooke wiped her nose with the tissue that J.J. handed her.

"We just finished having coffee and we needed to get to work. He went to his car while I headed towards mine. I realized that I forgot to give him his jacket back. It was cold in the coffee shop and he let me borrow it. When I turned the corner ... I saw ... these guys they ... they ..." she started getting choked up again.

"You are doing great," Derek assured her as he rubbed her shoulder.

Brooke took a deep breath and looked up at the ceiling for a moment. When she felt she had calmed enough she continued.

"These guys they pressed something into his back and he started shaking. He would've fallen to the ground, but they caught him and dragged him into their van. I ran after them, but it was too late. They were already out onto the road."

"J.J., call Emily," Rossi said.

"Brooke, can we ask you some more questions?" Derek asked as he sat down in a chair next to her.

"Yea, I don't know how much more help I'll be," she said wiping away some tears with the back of her hand.

"It seems useless, but sometimes the smallest details can help us predict and read the unsub," Tara said as she too sat down.

"Unsub?" Brooke said furrowing her brow.

"Unknown subject, the kidnappers," Tara explained.

Brooke nodded her understanding.

"Ok, we are going to have you close your eyes. I want you to tell us everything you see, hear, smell, anything," Derek said.

Brooke nodded again. She seemed afraid to close her eyes. Derek held out his hand and Brooke grabbed it. He could feel her shaking.
