Prologue

J.J leant over the basin. She felt sick. Spence was missing. She’d known splitting up

had been a bad idea and still she’d let him. She could have told him not to go, that it

was too dangerous. Tobias was unstable. Splitting up had spelt danger for them both.

Tears welled in her eyes as she thought of Reid trapped with Tobias. She wished she’d

How his remarks had been real and not a joke but he’d never been given a chance and

Hotch watched Prentiss skim through Hankle’s diary. She was a great profiler but it

wasn’t the same. Elle had made his days so much better, so much brighter and then

Hotch’s eyes weren’t the only ones trained on Emily. Gideon admired her

unflinching, unquestioning attitude. But that wasn’t all that he admired. He wondered

what she thought of him……..

Reid squinted in the bright light. As Raphael added more wood to the fire his mind

was on the other BAU members. One name stood out in his mind. J.J………
