Kate stood to the side watching the man. He was agitated and pissed off. She could tell by the way his shoulders were tense and his back was stiff. He kept clenching and unclenching one hand. When she pulled him out, he simply walked away. Didn't say anything and simply stood staring out at nothing. She didn't know what to think of him. He was a puzzle, one that she wouldn't be figuring out.

"Better?" Kate asked.

Clay glanced at her, giving her a small nod. "I'm fine, believe it or not, this is something that always happens between us. Frank, Aaron, and I are like water and oil and gas. We can only stand each other for so long."

"Yet you are like brothers."

He shrugged. "Yes. Not sure how that happened."

Kate walked over to him, taking a stand at his side. "How did you two meet?"

"Clay!" They both turned to see Frank at the door. "Breaks over!"

Clay rolled his eyes. "I'll answer that over dinner after all of this is over and we have Jack."

Kate cocked a brow at him. "Dinner?"

"Yes dinner, now come on."

"Cocky bastard."

As they re-enter the house, the team was once more reunited. Hotch walked in, giving Clay and Frank a nod. Clay simply pulled him into a hug.

"Alright, Clay any news on Jessica?" Frank asked.

Clay held up his phone. "She is home it appears. Does she know of Jack?"

Hotch shook his head. "With all this, I never got around to telling her."

"We can use that." Rossi said. "Have her come to us."

"How?" JJ asked. "She'd know it was a lie. If she is in this, she will know Sean has been arrested and that Jack has been taken."

"No, Sean's arrest has not been notified yet." Hotch said. "I told them to withhold everything involving this case. Which reminds me we have the photographer at the station."

"She takes them or gets them?" Clay asked.

Hotch shrugged. "My guess she receives them." He pointed to Morgan and JJ. "You two come with me, we are going to have a small chat with her." She then turned to others. "The rest of you work on getting Jessica to come to us." Clay and Frank grinned at having Hotch back on track. "As for you two. Get rid of the teacher."

Frank's grin fell. "Shit."

"You didn't think I wouldn't find out did you?" Hotch gave them a small smirk, glancing towards Emily. "We will talk about this later."

Emily paled at his words. She was screwed. "Yes sir."

"Speaking of which did you get anything out of him?" Clay asked.

Frank shook his head. "No. Son of a bitch if tough."

"Imma have a go at him." Seeing the look on his face he scoffed. "I won't kill him, Frank, besides he is valuable more alive than dead. At least at the moment."

Frank scoffed. "Just no electricity please!" All he got in response was a peal of laughter. "Kate."

"Yeah?"

He gestured to the basement. "Please keep an eye on him."

Kate frowned. "Why me?"

"He seems to like you and Clay doesn't like anyone. Plus having you in the room will restrain him a bit." Seen the agent shake her head, he pleaded. "Please."
