Chapter 6
Bella dropped Persidon off at the house and made her way back to the office. as soon as she walked in she was greeted with a warm towel and a hot drink which she took gratefully.
"who's with the kids?" Emily asked looking Bella over, who looked as if she had been knocking on deaths door.
"My brother," Bella looked over at Derek puzzled.
"He was there when i took Hades to the house." Derek replied with a shrug. "I just...forgot to mention that part" he added. Bella sighed and sat down at her desk
"Im freezing" She muttered. She suddenly yelped and jumped off her seat. The team looked over puzzled by her reaction.
"very funny brat" Bella growled seeing that her chair was on fire. Reid rushed to put the fire out as Derek laughed in amusement.
"not funny" Bella hissed at the son of Ares.
Derek forced himself to calm down, but was still amused.
"i looked in all the caves around the area where we found Hades, and around my house for Persidon, Zeus isnt in either one of them" Bella explained.
"we have to assume that he has been taken" Hotch said.
"If Kronos wasn't the unsub then who is?" JJ asked. "Who would want to take Zeus of all people" she asked.
"maybe its just coincidence." Emily suggested.
"He matches the profile of the victims, maybe he was in the wrong place at the right time?" Hotch added.
the daughters of Zeus and son of Ares looked at each other.
"not likely. Not with as many enemies he has, but since humans were being targeted" Derek started to say.
"this one isnt" Bella pointed to a picture of a blond male. "I know him, Im pretty sure he is a son of Zeus" She explained. "i think i met him once...at a birthday party" She said scratching at her neck absentmindedly.
"this is starting to make me wonder if the unsub isnt Hera" JJ commented.
"isnt Hera the wife of Zeus?" Hotch asked.
"why would she go after her own husband?" Reid looked puzzled.
"his affairs" Bella shrugged. "he isnt exactly what one would call loyal. and if you met his wife...you would understand" she added.
"why would he marry her then?" Emily asked.
Derek scoffed. "why would anyone marry their own sister, besides going against Hera isnt something anyone wants to do" he added.
"I will...personally" Bella said looking at her team. "if she is behind all of this...we might be the only ones who can defeat her Derek." she said and looked over at JJ.
"If we want to get dad, hades, and persidon back to their normal selves. Kronos isnt the only titan out there. taking him down was too easy. I know for a fact we didnt kill him. If he regenerates..." bella trailed off. Derek and JJ paled.
"Being turned to kids weakened him prision" JJ whispered.
"if his was weakened...." derek started to say.
"they all weakened" Reid said as he finally understood the seriousness of what was happening.
Bella dropped her cup. "PERSIDON!" She gasped out and ran as quickly as she could out of the building.
"BELLA!" JJ called and ran after her sister.
Derek turned to the rest of the team. "we got to find Zeus, if we want to stop the titans, then we have to get the brothers back together" he said as he pulled out his phone to call penelope.
"Garcia, any luck on those locations yet?" Derek asked as soon as she answered.
"Not yet" Penelope replied sounding distressed.
"Assuming it's hera, Where would she be?" Derek asked looking over at JJ looking hopeful.
"well she is the goddess of Marriage and Child Birth" Reid said thoughtfully.
"she's vain thats for sure" JJ said.
"so she wouldnt be in any cave or run down house" Hotch said.
"She would want something luxurious then" Emily said.
"And stay close to home" JJ added.
"i swear if he is on Olympus" Derek muttered.
"I dont think so" Reid said suddenly.
"what do you mean?" Penelope asked stopping in her search of narrowing down places.
"Derek, where did you find the boys?" Reid asked.
"the park, Bella and i run into each other there all the time when she does her morning jog then we just come here when she is done" Derek explained.
"and that is where the bodies are found, in that park" Reid added.
"you think she was watching?" Hotch asked.
"watching....maybe waiting. I mean...who here has been to Bella's house?" Reid asked.
"where are you going with this kid?" Derek asked tensing up.
"Bella is careful as to not tell many people where she lives. She had to have been followed" reid explained.
"But Zeus left the house on his own" JJ reminded him.
"how did she know where to be at the right time, How did she know he left?" Reid asked.
"all that is around Bella's house is..." derek started to say. "shit" he muttered and ran out of the building in a rush.
"what? is what?" Hotch asked sensing the urgency in the air.
"There is a camp not that far from Bella's house. It's a camp for children who are either orphaned or have abusive parents"
The group turned and saw a man standing there beside the director.
"My granddaughter has done a very good job in keeping those children safe. If Hera is truly behind this...then that is where she would go especally if there are children of Zeus at this camp" The man explained.
"everyone. Id like for you to meet my husband....and the new director of the BAU" The director, excuse me, Ex director spoke.
"now would be a good time to finish what you started" The new director said. JJ stared at the man thoughtfully and then ran out after Derek followed by the rest of the team.
"are you sure that was a wise move James?" The ex director spoke up.
"No Rose, Im not sure of anything right now. But something tells me that those humans are more than capable of protecting a bunch of kids. you must trust Bella and her team to finish the job" James explained.
"she is still new...and young," Rose said disapprovingly.
"Exactly, it will give the team a new out look and fresh eyes, Just because she is knew, doesn't make her any less of an asset to the team Rose" James explained as he walked over to the window and stared out into the stormy night.
