  Detective William LaMontagne Jr. : Hey buddy. Guess who's on the phone.

  Henry LaMontagne : Mommy!

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Hi! Hi, little man. How... How are you? I heard you went to the doctor.

  Henry LaMontagne : Are you coming home, Mommy?

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Not yet, buddy. Um, tomorrow. I promise. So, are you ready for story time?

  Henry LaMontagne : Yeah!

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Yeah? Okay. Daddy, are you ready? Bedtime For Baby Star. Once there was a baby star. He lived up near the sun. And every night at bedtime, that baby star wanted to have some fun. He would shine and shine and fall and shoot and twinkle, oh, so bright. And he said, "Mommy, I'll run away if you make me say good night." And then his mommy kissed him on his sparkly nose and said, "No matter where you go, no matter where you are, no matter how big you grow, and even if you stray far, I'll love you forever, 'cause you'll always be my baby star."

  Henry LaMontagne : Good night, Mommy.

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Good night.

• Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Central Plains. Right in the middle of Tornado Alley.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : If this UnSub is using tornadoes as a forensic countermeasure, then Kansas certainly is the ideal setting. Tornadoes do pose a significant threat. During this year's Super Outbreak back in April, there were 336 confirmed tornadoes in just several days, resulting in over 300 lives lost.

• Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Who's that with Hotch?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : There's been another abduction. A boy named Shaun Rutledge. That's his younger brother Billy.

  Derek Morgan : Says a young white guy in an RV attacked them with a crowbar in the rain.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : He's also changed his victim selection criterion. The boy he grabbed gets straight A's, plays football, even volunteers at his church.

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : So he wanted him so badly he was willing to leave a witness?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Which suggests he's losing touch with reality and his delusions are starting to take over.

  Derek Morgan : What is it about this kid that was so attractive to him?

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : He was teenage and Caucasian like the others, right?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : We also think that a sexual element may actually not be at play.

  Derek Morgan : So then what the hell is driving this guy?

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Maybe it's love. What if he's trying to recreate someone he loves?

  Derek Morgan : It is an emotion that drives us to extremes.

• Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : [voiceover]  "Adversity is like a strong wind. It tears from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that we see ourselves as we really are." -Arthur Golden

• Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Ah, I finally got him down.

  Detective William LaMontagne Jr. : He still feel warm?

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : The ibuprofen must have kicked in.

  Detective William LaMontagne Jr. : It's that preschool. Place is like a petri dish.

  [JJ gets a text message] 

  Detective William LaMontagne Jr. : Thought you had a few days off. What's the case?

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : It's about some missing kids.

  Detective William LaMontagne Jr. : Guess you gotta go in then, huh?

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Please don't walk away like that. We've talked about this. I know this is hard on you.

  Detective William LaMontagne Jr. : Henry, too.

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : On all of us. Look, if I had someone to cover my shifts, I would. What if it was Henry?

  Detective William LaMontagne Jr. : Don't. It's not Henry. Henry's right in there.

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : What if it was? You'd want someone out there looking for him.

  Detective William LaMontagne Jr. : No, I know. You're right. It's just... Things worked better when you were at the Pentagon.

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : I wasn't helping anyone there, Will.

  Detective William LaMontagne Jr. : You worked normal hours and weekends off.

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Fine. I'll tell them I can't come in.

  Detective William LaMontagne Jr. : Don't do that.

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : I was supposed to have time off. Henry's not feeling well.

  Detective William LaMontagne Jr. : It's all right. You should go. I'll take care of it. Really, I got this. I'll see you when you get back.
