Alex’s P.O.V

“Alex!  Alex! Alex! Is that you?’ Emma Jenkins was shouting into the phone she was obviously panicked

“Emma calm down what’s the matter?” I tried to keep a soothing tone but I had a gut feeling that our Unsub had gotten to Makayla Hourigan as well

“Auntie Kayla she’s not home,” Emma was crying

“Is there a chance that she could of gone down to the shops or something?” I asked almost praying that these children had not lost the last of their family relations

“ No her keys, purse and car are here but there is a lot of …….of…..of blood,” she was saying between sobs

“okay stay at the house I will be there as soon as possible,” everything I had feared had come true Emma and her siblings had been left orphaned and there is only thing that will keep them out of foster care if I find the son of a bitch who killed her mother and kidnapped her aunt, before it is too late. “I’ll be back,” I said as I hurriedly stumbled out of the police department. Morgan grabbed me by the arm to stop me it was almost as if he didn’t trust me. Or at least didn’t trust me to be alone. I’ve always knew that Morgan the over the top hero type. But what I really need him to be is a shoulder to cry on

“ Morgan listen I just got a call from Emma Jenkins, you remember  her she said that her aunt wasn’t at the house wallet and keys still in their normal spot car still in the drive way she said there was blood, I said in a hurried vice I could tell that I sounded worried but I didn’t care I continued to explain “she was scared  I was going to bring her back here until we find her aunt,”

He completely understood what I was getting at Emma was 12 her siblings were both 5. She has lost both her parents and now she has lost her aunt soon she might end up in the foster care system but I don’t want that to happen. “Let’s go,” was all he said before he walked out the door towards his SUV

We reached the house within 10 minutes Emma, Kyle and Gracie  were sitting on the front steps Emma ran into my arms as soon as she saw me it was the only thing she could do to stop herself from crying “where will we live now?” she asked. She was on the verge of crying but she compelled herself for her brother and sister. She wanted to stay strong  for them.

“We will find her,” it was the truth this Unsub stages his victims so in retrospect we will find her I just hope she will be alive when we do. I turned to Morgan and asked “will you be able to take these guys back to the police department and tell hotch where I am I want to take a look inside,”

He looked hesitant but he agreed “ok I will be back with Emily in about 10 minutes he left and I walked inside the house, there was an obvious struggle plates smashed, blood on the floor on the shelves even on the walls. Makayla may have been heavily pregnant but she still had the ability to put up a fight against this idiot. But there was something about it that wasn’t right, it looked setup, it looked fake.

 Emily and Morgan returned. “I’ve seen this sort of thing happen before,” said Emily looking over the scene it was strange know of the photo frames had been smashed as the coffee table had overturned. There was no footstep in the blood, not even from Makayla Hourigan. Even with the chaos of the crime scene it was to clean.

“Me too but I can’t remember where,” said Morgan 

“George Foyet,” I mumbled. George Foyet also known as the Boston Reaper, He had single handedly ripped this team to shreds, he had killed Hotch’s ex wife and the mother of his son jack. Haley Hotchner was a great friend and an even better mother to her son jack. Now hotch is a single dad who works all around the country. Now Jack and Josie spend most of their time living in the spare bedrooms of Amy’s apartment because of our jobs send us to all parts of the USA

“Ok let’s not mention that part to hotch, He went through enough at the hands of Foyet,” said Morgan

We all agreed and went back to the Police Department. Where Hotch, David and Reid were waiting for us. JJ was in a room with Emma, Kyle and Gracie.

“Alex why didn’t you tell us where you were going?” said David in a disapproving tone

“that doesn’t matter , what did you guys find?” asked hotch he was just as keen to get this case finished as I was to make sure the children were kept out of foster care, even though he wanted this case to finish he wouldn’t rest until everything had fallen into place 

We walked to the conference room and JJ soon joined us after asking someone to stay with Jenkins.

“ the crime scene looked to clean, I mean there was no way a fight couldn’t of taken place there,” Emily said after hotch asked what we had found again

“Although the coffee table and couch had been over turned none of the photo frames had broken,” Morgan continued

“It was too fake. almost as if it had been staged,” I muttered looking out the window of the conference room into the room where Emma and her siblings sat talking with the woman that had relieved JJ.  Emma had been through a lot losing both of her parents within 6 months and now both of her aunts. I will do whatever I can to keep them out of foster care even if it means I have to convince David to adopt them. I would hate it if Josie had to go into the foster care system and Emma is only a couple of months older then Josie maybe less.  I already care about Emma as if she had been in my life for years but I had only known her for a couple of days.

“Agent Hotchner there has been a sighting of Makayla Hourigan, she was leaving a supermarket they security camera’s show her driving away,” a detective burst into the room and put the video footage on the screen it was clearly Makayla Hourigan. 

“I’ll send this to Garcia maybe she could get something off of it, thank you detective,” hotch said as he left the room. Morgan and Emily followed as did Reid and JJ only they went over to the pin board where they kept working on a generic profile of where about the Unsub would be living

I spent most of the afternoon talking to the Jenkins I discovered Emma was a lot like me. She loved reading, especially harry potter. She loved to sing and dance and she cared for her siblings more than anything in the world. She would take a bullet to her brain before she would let anyone hurt them.

Kyle was the most athletic of the three he was on the local soccer team and he t-ball with his school. He hoped that one day he would meet David Beckham his idol. Gracie on the other hand was not very athletic she didn’t like sports one little bit she enjoyed dancing and singing with Emma but her passion was drawing and sowing she wanted to be a fashion designer when she was older. She showed me some of her sketches and they were amazing especially for a 5 year old. And I thought some of Josie’s sketches of trees and other miscellaneous items were good.

“Alex, Garcia found something,” said Emily poking her head through the door.

I followed Emily to where the team was crowded around the laptop and Garcia’s face appeared on the screen, as soon as she saw Emily and me, she started her explanation.

“Well I got the plate numbers of the car Makayla Hourigan drove away in off of the , I then traced them back to the owner of the car,  Gary Redion, it turns out he was the neighbor of the sisters when they were adopted by the Princeton family. But 3 months down the track and Miranda and Kimberly were taken away from their care by child services because they were getting bashed and beaten by their adoptive farther. Makayla on the other hand wanted to stay because she said and I quote ‘they deserve the treatment they got they’re the reason our parents are dead,’” She paused “Gary Redion owns a property just north of the town ship. And also Charlie Henston just put in a missing persons report for her sister Lilly and boyfriend hennery prince-bled.”  She finished what she was saying

“Garcia can you send the coordinates to our phones,” said Morgan

“Already done my prince,”

“thanks baby girl,”

“you’re welcome, Garcia out,” with that she closed the conversation

Hotch’s P.O.V

“Garcia can you send the coordinates to our phones?” asked Morgan

“Already done my prince,” Garcia replied

“thanks baby girl,” Morgan said with his usual nickname for the tech analyst

“you’re welcome, Garcia out,” with that she closed the conversation

The coordinates were for a house where two possibly three kidnapping victims. Alex would have to stay behind with that broken leg of hers she wasn’t going anywhere in a hurry 

“Alex I need you to stay behind with the Jensons, is that alright with you?” I asked.  She glanced at the cast on her leg and nodded, she knew exactly why I had asked her to stay behind. Reid had to stay in Quantico after he got shoot theoretically she should be in Quantico but without her on this case the oldest of the children  would not have spoken to us she would be to scared but because Alex is so young they can relate to her. 

We filed into the cars and Alex walked into the room with the Jenkins. David, Morgan and Emily were in one car JJ, Reid and I in the other, we approached the house it looked completely abandoned. The lawn looked as if it hadn’t been mowed in months, and the stairs leading to the door were in serious disrepair. A faced peeped out from behind the curtains and quickly shrunk behind the back into the house,

“Hotch did you see that?” Morgan’s voice  came through the speaker in the car kept the conversation going we entire way here and in case something like that happened

“Yes, there is someone in there, it looked like a woman,” I replied killing the engine Morgan did the same

Everybody ran up the stairs careful not to hit the broken steps. Morgan kicked in the door and he and Emily entered followed by Reid and David, with JJ and I taking up the rear checking in the door ways we heard shouting in the basement and went there because the rest of the house seemed clear.

“You seriously think I would call the cops! I was the one who pulled off this entire project, I’m the one who will swing, I killed your stupid sisters,”   a male voice yelled

“well then how do you explain them being here,” it was Makayla Hourigan she  was using a low voice obviously not wanting to get caught

We burst into the basement and saw the arguing couple. One was the man Garcia had told us about, Gary Redion, the other was Makayla Hourigan. “Makayla Hourigan, Gary Redion put our hands where I can see them,” yelled Morgan as we all pointed our guns at their heads.

Makayla raised her hand and fell to the ground in fake sobs “im so glad you’re here this is the man who killed my sisters he was planning to do the same to me,”

“Cut the act Hourigan nobody’s going to fall for it. Why he would take a pregnant lady? He can’t put you through all the things he put your sisters through,” the rhetorical question came from JJ’s lips with such hatred. From her position on the floor she lunged herself at Reid. Causing him to fall to the floor, JJ immediately went to his aid and ended up starting a fall on fight between the two women. JJ’s gun was knocked out of her hands, Redion picked it up he pointed it at Morgan he was about to pull the trigger when a gunshot rang out. Emily, Morgan David and I all looked at him. He was on the ground a bullet wound in his leg. At first we thought that jj had shot him but sitting on the ground with his hands shaking and a shocked expression on his face was Reid he had shoot  his 4th Unsub and still hadn’t quite come to terms with it. He never meant for him to bleed out he was just defending a friend. The only Unsub that he ever meant to harm beyond repair was Tobias Hankel who had tortured him to the point of near death if it weren’t for Tobias’s split personality Reid would not be with us. But Reid always seems to be able to find the kill shot killing 3 of the 4 Unsubs.

JJ had managed to handcuff Makayla Hourigan and was now marching the woman up the stairs with the help of Morgan. I rushed over to Reid who automatically snapped back to reality “why do I always kill them,” he asked in a half joking tone

“Kid it’s probably because you have about the same amount of aim as a blind person, but think of it this way, you are saving more lives than you end,” David replied to his rhetorical question

“HELP! HELP US! PLEASE!” the cry came from behind a door that we assumed lead to the backyard .But it didn’t, it lead to a small cellar. Inside were too people, one male one female. The female had managed to get her gag out of her mouth and manage to yell for help. The male on the other hand wasn’t so lucky he had dried blood all over his face and legs he was obviously unconscious, David grabbed the knife of the bench beside him the woman flinched away as he approached her.”

“Shhh, it’s ok we are with the FBI,” he said in a calm tone as Reid checked the man’s pulse

“we need a medic,” I spoke into the radio attached to my bulletproof vest

The medics arrived within seconds and carried the two survivors out on a stretcher. “Please tell my sister, Charlie, I’m okay and so is Hennery,” the woman said as she grabbed Emily’s arm

“What’d she ask?”Morgan asked after Emily nodded to her and helped the paramedics push the gurney into the ambulance

“She asked me to tell her sister Charlie that herself and hennery are safe,” she repeated the question she was asked “meaning that she is Lilly Henston and the male must be Hennery Prince-Bled,” she replied

“Let’s go home, we’ve finished here,” I said I was keen to go home and spend time with Jack I always missed him when I was on a case but more than ever since Hayley died, but I am glad Jessica Hayley’s sister looks after him when Amy can’t because it means that jack still has a connection with his mother’s side of the family.

On The Jet

Reid’s P.O.V

Everybody was asleep on the plane, Emily and JJ sat in the seats opposite me. Morgan was beside me and Hotch and Rossi were closer to the cock pit of the plane, they had fallen asleep not too long ago. Alex was on the couch beside my seat she had been given the couch because she couldn’t get her cast under the small tables, she had stretched out and looked reasonably comfortable but she was still really fidgety. But for some reason I could not sleep no matter how hard I tried or how tired I felt I couldn’t sleep. We had left Seattle late because Alex wanted to make sure that Emma and her siblings had somewhere to stay for the night before they were placed with a foster care family in the morning

Alex woke with a start. It scared me I had never seen anyone sit up so fast especially from when they are sleeping, “Alex are you okay?” I asked I was worried about her. Everybody was.

“I’m fine,” she lied but she knew I could tell and gave in “I keep seeing his face. I haven’t slept properly for almost a month. It’s been four weeks since I got out of there. Please Reid I need to know do the nightmares ever stop?” she sounded exhausted but I knew the feeling all too well. it is exactly what I experienced after my run in with Tobias Hankel.

“I’m sorry Alex, I can’t tell you the answer to that question because I still have nightmares about Tobias Hankel, they become less and less frequent as time goes on but they are still there and they seem to come back at the worst times,” I answered as honestly as I could if it were any one besides Alex I would probably say that the nightmares had stopped because they would make me feel like a little kid. But Alex went through the same pain I did. Probably more. She hung her head and looked defeated I knew she didn’t want to hear the question but I had to ask. I moved over to the seat beside her “Alex? He raped you, didn’t he?”

Her face showed everything I didn’t want to hear he had raped her. He took away the little innocence she had left. She nodded and made a feeble attempt to wipe away the tears. “Who have you told?” she looked away ashamed of her answer

“No one.”
