Set in season 7
They didn't know what hit them.
It was supposed to be a normal case. The team had landed at the airport and were driving to the station. They didn't see what hit them. Hotch drove the first car, Morgan in the passenger seat and JJ in the behind Morgan. The second car. Emily was driving. Normally Dave would, but he had a headache. Dave sat in the passenger, while Reid was in the middle. Because statistically it was the safest place.
They didn't know what hit them. It came from the side, right in the middle of the 2 cars.
They woke up on the floor of the barn. Morgan was the first awake. They were in chained against the wall. Morgan slowly got up, to his left was hotch, and to the right JJ. JJ was bleeding.
"Hotch" Morgan shook Hotch. He noticed Hotch wasn't coming too, but the noise had rattled Rossi. Who was at the end next to Emily.
"Where are we?" Rossi asks as he slowly sits up.
"My best guess a barn" Morgan says, turning to Reid and JJ who seem to be waking up.
"How did we get here?" Reid asks confused
"Are any of you hurt?" Hotch asks, head turn his way at once.
"I think my ankle is sprained but aside from that just a cuts and scratches from whiplash. " JJ says,
"Reid?" Morgan asks
"I am fine. Statistcally-" Ried begins, but stops when he sees the others glaring at him, "Just a few cuts and scratches"
"Emily wake up" Rossi can be heard trying to rouse her awake, Hotch turns around to see whats going on with Emily.
"Well from what I remember, the car came from the right" Reid says, "So Hotch, JJ, Emily and I would have been for the worst. But JJ was sitting at the left, and I was in the middle so, Hotch? Are you hurt?"
"Umm, My shoudler is sore and my wrist" hotch says.
"And that leaves Emily," Reid says.
Hotch tries to shake Emily awake, "it should have been me driving the car" Rossi says.
"You couldn't have known" Emily says groggily.
A person walks into the room, "Good your all awake" A deep voice speaks, as he notices Emily lying on the floor, "Well mostly, we are going to have some fun in the morning"
"Who are you?" Morgan asks
"It doesn't matter Derek Morgan" He speaks again as he walks back out.
"Emily, Are you okay" Rossi asks leaning over her
"Definately" Emily says, she loos up to see very blurry figures and makings of a barn. She doesn't dare tell them about the throb in her abdomen. She notices every one staring at her, "Shit Fine, I have a concussion, But other than that i am fine"
"Whats your name?" JJ asks
"Really Reid? Emily Prentiss" She says
"What day is it?" Reid asks
"Last I remeber it was wednesday, but it looks like early morning so i'd say thursday" Emily says
Emily sits up slowly, becoming more aware of the pain in her abdomen, most likely her stiches were broken, "President?" Hotch asks.
She was so focused on the pain that she didn't realise how honest she was being, "My fucking father" When she does realise, she looks up at them, "Michael Jones"
"Your father is Michael Jones, as in ex- deputy director of-" Ried begins
"Yes the very same, JJ by chance do you have a a bobby pin?" Emily asks, finally realising where they were.
"Yeah" She says passing it to Morgan, to Hotch then to Emily.
Emily takes the bobby pin, and uses it to pick the lock of her hancuffs, then the lock that held the chains around her legs. She carefully examines the lock and hand cuffs.
"Where did you learn to pick locks, Prentiss?" Rossi asks
"CIA training, if I ever found myself in a situation such as this" Emily explains quickly as she rushes to undo Rossi. "I know where we are"
"How" Morgan asks
"Where" Reid asks
Emily moves to undo Hotch, and Rossi stands up and stretches. "This is an old CIA training facility, its location was leaked years ago, so they took everything and left. It was rumored to be a base of operations for the Irish Mob" Emily says
She undoes Morgan and when she gets to JJ, JJ asks "How do you know?"
"Because I was trained here" Emily says once she finishes un tying Reid. "Now we are in the middle of nowhere, there is a safe house in some direction, and we'll go there. I'm hoping they won't have people there."
Once they r all standing up, they notice that none of them have shoes on. "Any one see our shoes?"
"No" Emily say, "This is going to be a problem, there should be a box some where" Emily walks around the barn trying to find something.
"What if there is a camera recording us?" Reid asks
"No, there is a signal jammer, we new to go."Emily says, leading the team out the door.
She leads them on a concret path, and then through a field, then thourgh some trees.
"What kind of training happens at the barn?" Reid asks
"Reverse interrogation" Emily says, Rossi winces, knowing exactly what that meant.
"What's that?" Morgan ask
"When you interrogate the interrogater" Emily says vaguely.
"I don't get it" JJ says.
"Basically, if when your undercover, and you get captured, or when youself purposly get captured, you learn how to respond when they ask you questions forcefully, and how to get information from them when they think they are in control" Emily explains
"It's a fancy way of saying, how to withstand torture 101" Rossi says
"And you went through this training?" Morgan asks on edge
"Yes, but it's mainly just for the Agency to know that your not going to spill secrets"
"How do the fake the situation?" Hotch asks
"Well when you prepare to join, finish all other aspects of training. They feed you some rubbish that seems important, then they abduct to from your house, bring you here. Torture you for the rubbish they previously fed you, if you cave you fail, if u deny, then just before they're ready kill you they say, 'Well done agent blah, you have passed and made it into the CIA" Emily says casually.
"Is that even allowed?" Morgan asks
"Its the CIA" They seemed to approach a abandoned row of houses, "We are here" Emily says crouching down to pick the lock of the door.
They walk in and Emily leads them to the kitchen, "There is running water and in that drawer there should be expired gronola bars"
JJ and Hotch get water, while Reid looks for the gronola bars and pass them to rossi. Rossi moves to place the box on the dining table, but Emily stops him.
"No, don't put it down" Emily search the bottom of the table, and seems to do some thing. "Morgan get on the other side of the table and lift it up"
The top of the table lifted off and there was a secret compartment, with burner phones, handcuffs and a ipad looking thing, which Emily picks up and puts her palm on.
It displays the words
'WELCOME BACK AGENT EMMELINA JONES'
"Whos Emmelina Jones?" Ried asks.
"I am, why do you think Garcia never found anything on Emily Prentiss" Emily say as she moves to the fridge
"What is your real name?" Morgan
"Don't get to rilled up" Emily says typeing something on a screen that didn't seem Normal to be on a fridge, "I was born Emmelina Jones, when my parents split I stayed with my mother, so I became Emmelina Prentiss. When I joined the CIA, it would be good to be connected to an ambassador, so I became Jones again, it would be suspicious because it was a very common name. When I joined the FBI, I wanted no connection to the CIA, and obviously it isnt safe to have a connection to me father, so I made it Prentiss. And everyone always called me Emily, the only people to call me Emmelina are my parents and my dead grand parents"
Emily opens the fridge after a struggle, then pulls out 2 revolvers, 3 glock 17s, and 2 Glock 19s.
"I can never seem to remember my password" Emily says as the team stares at her in shock. "This is a CIA safe house what did you expect, And its just incase they followed us here"
"How many of these houses exist?" Hotch asks
"The FBI and CIA collaborate me have 200 in the states, probably the same amount overseas" Emily says
"And you know the location to all of them?" Morgan asks
Emily smirks, "I can neither confirm nor deny, we tripped the alarm when we got here, bueru should be here in a couple hours"
