“JJ get up! Get up!” Shaking her head she tried to get her
bearings, everything was fuzzy and her legs were all tingly.  Rolling onto to all fours she attempted to
get up when he kicked her in the ribs, lifting her off the ground.

“No!!” Jane head butted Rodriguez’ father and rushed toward
Max. Ramming into him with what strength she had, she fell on top of him as he
fell away from JJ.

“You goddamned *****, you broke my ***** nose…I’m going to
kill you.”  He ran at Jane and was
shocked when he had to stop, looking down he saw the piece of wood sticking out
of his abdomen, JJ rammed it in more and twisted, watching his face contort in
pain.

“***** you…” she said before dropping to her knees again.

Jane struggled with Rodriguez but couldn’t keep him pinned,
tossing her aside he saw his father go down and went after JJ, kicking her
again until she was still.

“Jane!!”

“JJ!!”

Frost, Emily, they were here.  Rodriguez stopped when he heard the voices
upstairs.  Looking down at his father, he
turned to the woman who had started it all. “Its your fault.”

“Jane! JJ!” Closer now, she knew they had a chance.

Jane crawled back on the floor as he approached.  “Give it up Max, you know you won’t get
out.”  With her back against the wall, he
pulled her up to him, “you’re dead *****.”

Rearing back he punched her in the ribs with the weighted
gloves and she could feel the ribs break as he moved to strike again.  The suddenness of the floor surprised her as
she realized he had let her go.  She
heard a crash and yelling, a lot of yelling, before she let the darkness claim
her.

Emily’s anxiety rose as they pulled up to the house, this
was the place, she could feel it.  “Let’s
go” stepping out, she quickly strapped on her vest watching as the others did
the same.

Moving quickly, she and Frost took the front door as Morgan
and Reid took the back.

“FBI! Max Rodriguez open the door!”  When there was no answer, she nodded for
frost to kick the door in, hearing an answering smash from the rear.  Calling out, they saw no evidence of the
women.  A crash downstairs brought them
to the basement stairs, nodding to Morgan, he pulled the door open and Prentiss
rushed in.
