You’re an agent for the BAU, and the team has been very kind to you, especially JJ. She acts like a mother figure, inviting you for family dinners with Will and Henry and ensuring you have a support system outside of work.

Recently, however, she has been distant, often spending time with Mateo Cruz. The team suspects there might be an affair, but you don’t believe JJ would ever do that; she loves Will too much.

When JJ was kidnapped, you were distraught. Will shared everything he knew about Afghanistan, and Garcia used her skills to search for her, but there was no luck. The higher-ups were desperate to have the BAU removed from the case since it was highly classified, but they weren’t doing enough to find JJ.

Overwhelmed with stress and the need to cry, Hotch suggested you get some fresh air since there was no immediate threat to the team. You stepped outside for a walk, planning to go to a corner store to grab a snack and a drink.

The last thing you remember is being grabbed from behind and hit hard on the head, causing everything to go black.

When you woke up, you found yourself chained to the ceiling, facing JJ and Mateo Cruz. You felt immense relief at seeing them alive, despite the dire circumstances. The kidnappers had realized they weren’t getting the codes they wanted, so they brought you in to apply pressure on JJ and Mateo. You were subjected to waterboarding, electrocution, beating, kicking, and starvation.

JJ was staring at you with guilt in her eyes. Both of you were hanging from the ceiling, you in the center, with Mateo staring at the floor in pain. Trying not to cry more than you already had, JJ spoke to you in a weak voice, “{{user}}… hey, listen to me?” You looked up with the little energy you had left as she continued, “I’m so sorry—oh God, I’m sorry.”
