Here's a new story for you guys, all the regular characters are in it, JJ, Rossi, Reid, Morgan, Garcia, Strauss, Hotch, Emily. (beth makes a few small appearances)
Shipping's in this story: morgan/garcia rossi/strauss hotch/emily & maybe some others, idk yet.
It was a normal Wednesday morning. 7 o'clock came along, Rossi was wide awake and didn't even have coffee in his system yet. He got out of his brand new Mercedes that was parked in the designated spot, grabbed his things, locked the car and walked through the empty car garage. He rode the elevator to the BAU floor. He enjoyed the quiet as long as he could. He put his things down in his office and walked to the coffee pot.
JJ woke up hung over, she knew it was a bad idea to go out drinking with her old college friends last night. She took a quick shower and threw on a black pencil skirt, a red shirt and black pumps, her hair was naturally straight so she didn't have to worry about doing her hair. She applied very little make up and was out the door.
Morgan had been up at 5, he worked out in his basement gym. After a good work out, he took a shower threw on jeans and a shirt and was off to Garcia's apartment. She had given him a key a while back, he was the only one who had a key.
'Baby girl, I'm home!'
'In here sweet cheeks.' He walked in her room.
'You look beautiful as always.' Garcia had lost a lot of weight, she was tired of being so chubby even though everyone told her day after day she was beautiful. She was now a size 6 and looked better than ever in her outfits
'Thank you, can you zip me up?'
'There you go, are you ready to leave?'
'Yeah, let me grab my bag and lunch and we'll go.'
Reid was up at the crack of dawn reading. He solved a few crossword puzzles then got dressed. He wore a dress shirt and a funky tie, with black pants, dress shoes and mix matching socks.
Hotch didn't need an alarm to wake him and Beth up, because they had Jack.
'Daddy! Daddy! Wake up! It's time to catch the bad guys!' Little jack jumped on to the bed.
'I'm up Jack; let's let Beth sleep a little longer.' He rolled over and kissed Beth's cheek and got up. Jack watched Aaron shave and brush his teeth.
'Daddy don't forget I am going over Kyle's house after school for homework help.'
'Alright, just call Beth when you are ready so she can pick you up. You want to do daddy's tie?' Hotch kneeled down and let Jack tie his tie.
'Thanks buddy, let's get you to Tyler's house.' Aaron loaded his truck and drove Jack to his friend's house so he can get to school; he then drove to the BAU.
Emily woke up late; she didn't have time to shower. She quickly got dressed and sped to the office.
Everyone finally reached the BAU, JJ set up the room for the new case they were handling. She told Hotch, Emily, Derek and Garcia to meet her in the conference room in 5. She knocked on Rossi's door,
'Good Morning Dave, we got a case. Meeting in 5.'
'Thanks JJ.' She was about to close the door, ' wait JJ!'
'Yeah?'
'Do you want some Advil? You look like you had a long night.'
'Yes if you have some.' He opened the desk drawer and pulled out a bottle of Advil.
His eyebrow raised his eyebrow, 'Late night?'
'Yeah, I have a pounding headache.' He handed her a glass of water.
'Let's go catch some bad guys maybe that will make it go away.' He smiled at her as they walked to the conference room.'
'Good morning my lovelies, we have 3 girls dead in Seattle, Washington. Jordan Lazorus was our first victim, she was out clubbing and left with a very attractive guy. Found dead the next morning near the club she was at the night before. Stephanie Faulkner our second victim, same thing went clubbing and left with an attractive guy, found dead the next morning near the club she was at the night before. Kristen Graybard our last victim, once again clubbing left with a guy next morning found dead near the club. Now here's the gross thing, all 3 victims had no fingers when they were found. Local police said all 30 fingers were cut off with a steak knife.'
'What the hell?' Rossi said as he saw the pictures of the girl's finger less hands.
'Is there any description of the attractive unsub's appearance?' Emily asked.
'No, the club's security camera's didn't catch them leaving.' JJ answered.
'Is it the same club?' Reid asked trying to process the information.
'No, 3 different clubs.'
'Alright we are going to Seattle ladies and gentlemen. Wheel's up in 30.' Hotch said closing the file.
Rossi left his office, he decided to go visit Erin in her office. He softly knocked on the door and waiting for her to let him in.
'Agent Rossi, what do I owe this visit?' She sat back in her chair.
'Just checking on you. You have been quiet these past few weeks.'
Erin was dumbfounded, David Rossi was checking up on her. She looked at Rossi with a confused look. 'I have been quiet because I am calmer at home. My children are all home now.'
'That's good, how are the dealing with the divorce?'
'Agent Rossi, why are we talking about my personal life?' She sat up and rested her hands on her desk.
'Just wanted to start a conversation with you Erin.'
'It's Chief Strauss to you, and if I am not mistaken, you have to be on a plane soon. Where are you going again?'
'Seattle, Washington.'
'Well you should get going then.'
'It was nice talking to you Erin...I mean Chief Strauss.'
'Good bye David.' He smirked and left her office. He grabbed his go bag, and headed to the jet.
'When we get there, Emily and Dave go talk to Stephanie's parents, Morgan and Reid go talk to Jordan's parents. Um, and I will go talk to Kristen's mother.' Hotch gave his orders.
'Alone?' Rossi looked at him puzzled.
'Yeah.' The team broke into their separate groups while Rossi sat there and stared at Hotch.
'What is it?' Rossi finally asked.
'I dated Kristen's mom, years ago. We were set to get married, but things didn't go as planned.'
'What do you mean not as planned?'
'She left me at the altar.'
'Are you sure you are ok going alone?'
'I'll be fine.'
'Whatever you say.'
They landed in Seattle, JJ went to the local police department to set up and the rest of the team broke up and went to talk the families.
Emily and Dave went to talk to Stephanie's parents.
'Hi Mr. And Mrs. Faulkner, I'm Agent David Rossi and this is Agent Emily Prentiss we are from the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit, can we come in?'
'Is this about our daughter?' Mr. Faulkner asked.
'Yes it is Mr. Faulkner.'
'Please call me Nick, this is my wife Sophia, please come in.'
'Can I get you anything?'
'No, thank you.' Dave and Emily said in unison.
'Did Stephanie have a boyfriend?'
'No, she was focused on school and work.'
'Where did she work?'
'At the local diner.'
'Did she have any enemies? Did anyone have any problems with her?'
'No, everyone loved her. She was a great person; very nice to everyone she met.'
'Alright, we will call you if anything comes up, here's my card if you think of anything else please give us a call.'
That was relatively the same conversation that Morgan & Reid had with Jordan's parents. Next was Kristen's mom, Hotch took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
'Hi can I help you?'
'Hi, my name's Aaron Hotchner I'm with the Behavioral Analysis Unit.'
'Is this the same Aaron Hotchner that I left at the altar 20 plus years ago?'
'Yes it is, but I am here strickly on business. I have a few questions about your daughter, Kristen.'
'Sure, come in.'
'Sarah, did Kristen have a boyfriend?'
'No, she was always jumping around. But ever since she got pregnant 3 years ago, she stopped trusting men.'
'Did she have the baby?'
'Yes.'
'Did she have a job?'
'Yes, she worked at a doctor's office.'
'Did she go to school?'
'She put it off to the side; she wanted to be there for her son as much as possible.'
'Is there anything else you can tell me?'
'How have you been?'
'About Kristen, Sarah.'
'Aaron, I wasn't ready.'
'Sarah, I have a job to do, so if there is nothing else, I will be leaving.' Aaron stood up from the couch.
'Please don't go.' Sarah stepped in front of him.
'Good bye Sarah.' He moved to the side and walked towards the door.
'You were her father!' He stopped dead in his tracks.
'Excuse me?'
'I left you at the altar because I was pregnant; I had her 7 months later.'
'Are you sure?'
'Positive, you were the first and only guy I had slept with at the time.'
'Why didn't you tell me?'
'Because I knew you wouldn't come back.'
'Sarah if she was my daughter I would have helped you raise her, paid for child support.'
'Well it's too late now. I made it this far without you, she had a good life even during the pregnancy, the father of the baby visits, and he helps as much as he can.'
'I have to go. Good bye Sarah.'
Aaron drove back to the police station, trying to process what had just happened.
'How'd it go?' Rossi asked as they waited for the others to come.
'I'm a father.'
'Yeah, I know.'
'I'm a father Dave.'
'Aaron are you ok?' He put a hand on his shoulder.
'I went to talk to Sarah, and she told me Kristen was my daughter, she had me investigated and stuff. It makes sense; we had sex plenty of times before we got married. She said she was two months pregnant when we were supposed to get married, that's why she left me there.'
'I...I don't know what to say to that Aaron. I'm sorry you didn't get to meet her. I'm sure she was a great person.'
'I was a father and I didn't even know about her. What kind of father does that make me?'
'Aaron you are a great father to Jack.'
'I can't believe this is happening, I should have known better.'
'It wasn't your fault, you didn't know.'
'I should have ran after her.'
'Aaron I'm not going to sit here and listen to this bullshit. You didn't know there was nothing you could have done.'
'Fuck!' He slammed his hand into a wall.
'Why don't you go home and take a few days off?'
'No, I'll be fine.'
The team spent the rest of the day trying to figure who the unsub was. They had reached a dead end, everyone was exhausted, and they decided it was time to go back to the hotel room and sleep.
