This is a great story. I love the dynamics between Elliot and the rest of the team...the scene between her and Morgan particularly. Please continue writing this character!

Okay, now you're being really cruel! >< I've devoured your Elliot Jackson stories and am eagerly awaiting more. So for a Christmas present to us all... *hint hint, wink wink, nudge, nudge* Anyway, thank you for the wonderful stories and keep it up! XD Loved the X-Men reference by the way! Who would you put as who from X-Men to Criminal Minds? (just curious since you mentioned it* Season's Greetings! I hope to see new stuff up by the new year. :P

This is another really great story. In some ways, I think I like the character of Elliot Jackson better in this story than I did in the first one, perhaps because she was bearing the brunt of Reid's crappy behaviour.

You do portray Reid's addiction very well, not that I'm any sort of an expert, but while on the show we knew something was happening, we didn't always see all the side effects which you've so effectively written.

The case is, again, extremely well done in both the detail, the depiction of the unsub, and the background that you provide which the team gets to dig though. And even though I do miss my favourite character, well the other half of my favourite pair, the team dynamic which you create is very good. As always, it's the little details that turn a good story into a very good one, and I like that you've included those. Things like the fact that Mr. Warren has bulked up since he was kidnapped, that it's only Hotch who calls her EJ.

I also like your depictions of the expressions. For example, you have Hotch's brow furrow, while JJ's eyes widen in apprehension. It's not always the same thing depicted in the same way.

The way you started with the prologue was also novel, though I've seen from some of your other stories that you like to jump around a bit in time, but it's a difficult technique to pull off and you do it well.

I know you're planning on a third story in this AU from what you said previously, so I'll definitely be reading it because I know it will be a good read. I'll just be that much more excited if you include the character you said you might. :D

Oh my gosh! I got your message, and I was sure I had reviewed every chapter, so I skipped over here to see I missed the finale! Silly hotmail, not sending me the conclusion -shakes head-

-snorts- I can totally see Jack attack the unsub with a tie. It seems so in her character.

And I like this ending :) Even though a couple hours later he gets all pissy and such, now he's nice. I like nice Reid :)

Reid and Jackson shipping in Four Eights would have been lovely, but I like the Reid-Prentiss you have going on. It's nice, and adorable.

I'm sad to see Reckoning end -sighs- But I guess it ending gave me Four Eights, which I'm very happy for :)

Congrats on the epic fic! I hope to see Jackson in the future, maybe :)

Well done! I quite enjoyed this story, and I like EJ. Such a relief from all the other OCs skulking around here. Keep up the good work and I look forward to the next installment of the series. :)

Hmm, well, prologue-Jack was pretty beat up, meaning the worst isn't over yet. Unless that's their plan, to make it look like Reid killed her in a withdrawal induced rage, then they attack when the unsub comes in to kill Reid. But who knows!

I kind of love seeing them in their little tiny cell. And I'm so glad Jack is playing nice again. It makes it so much more enjoyable to watch them interact that way.

Re-post soon! Loved it.

If for you reviews are lovely
For me more chapter are my life!
I just cant get of my head this story!
Its so amazing, i love it!

You are awsome!!

Love you!!
see ya!

Hmm, girl sacrifices herself... Would Reid of Jack do that? Like, shoot themself so the unsub doesn't get the satisfaction he wanted? No, we know they live, but still. That would have been terrifing.

And I'm glad they're being friendly again! It makes me so much happier that Jack isn't mad and Reid isn't strung out. But, alas, I'm thinking that won't last...? At least, his high won't last. Then he'll be withdrawal Reid, and he isn't so nice.

It's so exciting!

Re-post soon!

OMG! LOVE ITT!! LIKE ALWAYS AWSOME!
YOU REALLY KNOW HOW TO LEAVE MY IN SUSPENSE!

:E

I look forward to more...

Awe, poor kid. Withdrawal must be a bitch, and with Jackson wailing on him emotionally, it can't help.

Well, at least he won't be all pissy from the withdrawal. Or maybe his supply will run out before the guy comes back. Oohh, that's why he did that, isn't it? So Jack would know about his little helper and then feel less sympathy for when he re-enters withdrawal?

This is a little diabolical. I can't wait to see what happens next!

Re-post soon, please :)

-Maggie

OMG! I just love how its turning everything! You are doing a excelent work, im really enjoying it!! I will be wairing for more!! See yaa and take care!
Shara :E

You're doing a great job. Keep the ideas flowing.Update soon.

I didn't get last chapters notice! Therefore, this is two chapters in one. Epic, right? I thought so too.

As for last chapter, I'm a little ticked at Morgan for being all uber defensive about Jack, and not at least a little concerned for Reid. I mean, I know he's being an ass, but obviously somethings wrong. And unlike what he did with Prentiss, he's being abusive very publically. The team should be more up front with Reid -shakes head- For a bunch of profilers, they certaintly don't do a bang up job on helping the displairing in their group.

That little rant wasn't focused at you, promise. It's just a general observation of the show, and it bothers me, and chapter seven kinda adressed it, which set me off. Sorry!

Best lines ever for chapter seven: He snapped the phone closed with a grimace. "If that kid's gotten himself kidnapped again, I'm gonna kill him."

"Get in line," J.J. bit out.

-snorts-

and...

'Jackson knew she was in Deep Shit.' Love that you capitalized it :)

And on to chapter eight, which will now be referred to as 'the epic chapter'.

That was soo worth the wait. Them in the tiny cell is going to be amazing. I know Reid's all gung-ho at not killing Jack, but he should just wait for the withdrawal to kick in. Maybe he'll take a hit in there. Hmm, no, unsub probably took the messanger bag.

I wonder if they'll talk it out... He doesn't seem in a very 'lets work out our problems in light of this situation' kind of place. More of like a 'give me the goddamn gun'. Luckily, we know neither of them kill each other!

Best lines: She gave a slow, thoughtful nod. "How fucked do you think we are?"

He looked around the bleak dungeon. "Very to extremely."

I just love the Reid-Jackson banter. It's quite amazing.

See! Two reviews in one. Now you get one bad ass of a review to propel you through your writers block! At least, I hope. If not, sit down with a nice cup of tea and a chocolate bar, listening to some lovely indie music. I highly recommend Death Cab for Cutie's new EP, The Open Door.

Ah, can't wait for the next chapter! So stoked.

-Maggie

I hope you finish the story,I have been enjoying it,
