JJ: "Aimee Lynch, 8 years old, was taken an hour ago from a winter festival in Ashburn."

Emily: "Any witnesses?"

JJ: "Her mom Barbara was right next to her when she vanished."

Watson: "There must have been hundreds of people there. No one saw anything?"

Reid: "It's a temporary gathering, with little to no security."

Morgan: "All right, Reid, you and I are going to head to the family's house. The three of you, I want you to work with Garcia. We need to look at every local abduction or attempted one in the past year, see if there's any overlap."

JJ: "Good news is that we're barely into the second hour."

Morgan: "Yeah, well, odds are we've only got 22 hours to find Aimee alive, so let's do this."

Reporter: "Aimee Lynch of Ashburn was last seen at the winter festival this morning at 10:00. She's 4'8", has blond hair and green eyes. With temperatures below freezing and a chance of snow, the pressure is on to find her. Anyone with information about Aimee, please contact the hotline." Emily watches on the tv when a woman comes over to her 

Woman: "Uh, excuse me. I'd like to talk to agent Watson."

Emily: "Can I help you?"

Woman: "Whoever took Aimee Lynch took my son, too."

Watson: "Ashburn has a winter festival every year, not a single attempt at kidnapping." she sighs as she stands in Garcia's office with her

Emily: "Hey, Naomi, there's a woman here who says her son was abducted by the same offender."

Watson: "Has she been drinking?" she sighs

Emily: "Yeah, I'm pretty sure. How'd you know that?"

Watson: "Sarah Hillridge. She lost her son Charlie 8 years ago. She comes in every time a child around his age goes missing."

Emily: "She thinks her son is still alive."

Watson: "Yeah, I know." she runs her hands through her hair 

Garcia: "I remember her. She stays for the first 24 hours, right?"

Watson: "Yeah. There's 8 hours left." she sighs walking out the room

Watson: "Need more coffee?" she asks when she sits in front of Sarah at her desk 

Sarah: "Oh, no, no. I'm fine, thanks. Ohh" she grabs the framed photo of Naomi and Danny and looks at it with a smile "How's Danny doing? Is he still a firefighter?"

Watson: "Uh, he passed away a while ago."

Sarah: "Oh. I'm so sorry. Are you doing okay?"

Watson: "Taking it day by day. Uh, how's your daughter?"

Sarah: "Uh, Jake took her away."

Watson: "What?"

Sarah: "Well, he got remarried, and, uh, thought it was best for Emily to get a fresh start."

Watson: "Sorry."

Sarah: "Well, I can't really blame him. I mean, look at me."

Watson: "Sarah, I really need-"

Sarah: "This little girl Aimee was 8, just like Charlie. They were taken almost 8 years apart. Now, I have been doing a lot of reading about sexual attraction and know that prepubescent has the greatest range and also a really huge crossover gender-wise.
