A/N HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!

It has been 5 hours now and we are now all sitting around the round table holding our heads "How can someone just disappear off the face of the earth? We have looked through every piece of information possible but there is no sign of him, It just makes no sense" Penelope said in frustration, Tara put her hand on Penelope's shoulder "Come on we have got this, we have the best team in the country, If we can't find him them no one can" I went to say something when there was a knock on the door. JJ grinned "thought maybe we need to call for reinforcements, come in" Everyone was shocked when Spencer Reid walked up to the round table "I really wanna say hello and how much I have missed you all but we can do that after, right now I need all your notes and paperwork and everyone to leave the room, now!" I was shocked "I am so glad to see your face, I have missed you so much if anyone can solve this, it is you?" We all walked out of the room, I gave Reid one more look seeing him giving me a reassuring nod before I walked out. The rest of the team went over to the kitchen to make coffee "JJ why didn't you tell us that you called the boy genius?" Rossi asked "Because you were all so stressed out about finding TJ and knew that if I had told you then, you would have all got distracted" We all nodded.

A few hours passed and I was getting restless we need to find her soon. Tara looked up at the window "Reid looks like he is stressing out, I just wanna go up and help him" We all nodded but Rossi said "We all know it will be more effective if he had time on his own to look over and process everything" as I was about to say something Reid ran out of the conference room holding a piece of paper heading for the doors "Come on, I have found him" We all snapped into action grabbing out coats following Reid to the SUV's "Reid are you sure about this? We might only have one shot at this" Reid held out his hand for me to hold "I need you to trust me" I smiled "I trust you with my life" We all climbed into the SUVs, Luke was driving our car and driving fast, there was no time to lose and Rossi was driving the other one.

The drive was long and not knowing where we were going or why I turned back to Reid "Where are we going?"  Reid looked up "You wanna know the whole process?" I nodded "OK, If you are sure. Well, I started looking at the crime report and there was nothing important. So I started to look into the report JJ did with the family but still nothing, I can see why you were pulling your hair out with this one, he was good and sneaky" I asked "OK, so what was it then? What did we miss?" Reid lightly laughed "You didn't miss anything, you all did so much work and found the right information for me to solve it" I raised my eyebrow at him and he carried on "Right yes, so I was going through all of Jason's known associates and compared them to his prison record and there was one name that I couldn't account for. So, I looked him up and It turns out this other person Jerome Woodward was named in the prison report that he and Jason ganged up on another inmate together but with it being a small incident and there not being any more mentions of Jerome no one picked up on him or looked into him, finding out Jerome's family came from the US and right here. The family still own a ranch but no one lives there so it is perfect for Jason to come and hide. Looking into Jerome's bank accounts he has one that has had some payments coming out near the ranch however, he is still in jail in the UK" I couldn't believe it "So that is where we are headed right now?" Reid nodded "Yes, I called in for backup to meet us there" I smiled back at Reid "Thank you so much, for coming back and helping us to find TJ. I know you haven't met her but you still came to help so thank you" Reid put his hand on my shoulder "If you are a part of the BAU then we are all family, I am so happy to see everyone again, I have missed you all so much" Reid looked around and said, "Ok, the ranch is just round this corner we need to stop here and wait for the backup".  

Before long the backup was in place and we were ready to do the raid. I took a deep breath and then nodded to go, everyone ran in surrounding the ranch, there was no noise or sounds coming from inside. We got into position to kick open the front door, the team was ready and Luke kicked open the door, we went room by room shouting "Clear" when it was empty till we got to the basement, I prepared myself pushing the door open gasping as I did "OMG TJ!!!" ....
