She admitted to herself that she was still pissed at Morgan
but she also knew that if they wanted to catch this *****, she needed to play
nice.  She could tell him off after they
closed this case.  Smiling, she liked
that idea and turned he music up a bit to lighten her mood.

JJ kept trying to get a signal on her phone but was
unsuccessful.

“No signal?” Jane said

“No, I don’t understand it.”

“This section of town houses a remote power station, so the
signal tends to cut in and out, if I remember correctly, you can still send and
receive text though.”

“Oh okay then,” Head hunched over the phone, she texted
Hotch to let him know they were almost there.

Once she hit send, she bit her bottom lip and sat
pensively.  Mind made up, she texted
Emily a short note and hit send. Satisfied, she sat back.

Morgan knew she was trying to reach Hotch and was surprised
about the lack of phone signal himself, checking his phone, he saw one bar
only.  Sighing he put his phone
away.  He could try again later.

“Anything yet?” Frost looked over at Emily who was busy
checking her phone.

“No dammit!”  Her
frustration was evident in her voice and face.

“You think they’re in trouble don’t you?”

“Yes…No…I don’t know!”
Frustrated she pounded the dash. “I’m calling Hotch, I think we need to
send some units over there, just in case.”

“Do it!”

Pressing down on the accelerator he sped up.  Emily’s demeanor was making him nervous. He
didn’t know her very well but after they picked up Maldonado and his brother,
he had certainly learned to respect the woman.
If she thought they were in trouble, he would go with it just like he
does with Jane.

Pulling in front of Rodriguez’ father’s house, Jane was
surprised at how isolated it seemed.
There was no one else on the street and many of the homes appeared to be
vacant, with for sale or foreclosure signs.

“Well, what do we think?”

“I think its creepy, too quiet” JJ shuddered at her own
words as she looked up and down the street.

“This does seem to be out in the middle of nowhere, but
don’t worry JJ, we’ll be fine, right Morgan?”
Turning around to look at the big man, she nodded toward JJ.

“Yeah Jareau, come on we’ve seen creepier stuff than this in
our job.”  Patting her shoulder, he got a
smile.
