Hi, well I'm warning everyone here that I don't have Elle or Emily in this story because I just have a hard time putting them in. I keep forgetting her so sorry to all you Elle or Emily fans. Also this is my first stab at fan fiction so please be nice to me.
"Danni, oh for heaven's sake, you've got to be still feeling weak from being sick yesterday and that's why you had to sit out during gym class today. Your body's still recuperating because you were sick with the twenty four hour stomach flu, I can do it this time instead." Jessie whispered stopping me from stepping forward to take my turn as usual in the cool night air of the early spring after a mild winter that was pretty warm compared to other years and that meant one word that we heard too often in our home town: drought. That's what you get for living in a desert people said though it wasn't sand and cactuses everywhere like most people thought. The southern part of the state was where you would find cactuses if you wanted to. We had mountains and rivers and two reservoirs to supply the whole state. The Southern part was using more than us though in the summer nearly always in the hundreds we were usually somewhere in the nineties and eighties degrees and once in a while we had a few in the one hundreds but we hoped not because that was not fun though we'd all rather be hot then cold. Except when you got too hot there was nothing you can do about it when you're too cold you can.
"I'm fine right now Jessie, don't worry. It's my turn to do this so I will and you know I always will sit out from gym class if I have a chance to because I hate running laps and playing sports when I'm not at all athletic. Give me a writing class or investigating class to a sport class any day." I said smiling reassuring her but she wasn't sure I really was as good as I said. "You know I love being artistic when it comes to writing and hate all athletic events besides dancing that is and besides no one ever chooses me to be on a team because I'm not very good at sports. Put me in a writing contest any day and I'll win. Compare that to an athletic competition and there's practically no contest when it comes to me."
"Come on Danni, admit it. You know you still feel as least a little weak." She said looking me straight in the eye. Though she knew I wasn't lying, since she could tell when I was.
"Jessie, the truth is I don't feel weak anymore." I said shaking my head. It was the truth too. "You can tell when I'm lying and you know I'm not right now. I perfectly fine."
"Don't you feel weak at all right now? If you do feel the effects still then I can do it Danni, it'll be no problem. We can skip you this time or you can do it next time or tomorrow if you really want to." Jessie asked unsure if I was just doing it because I knew it was my turn even if I wasn't lying.
"I don't feel the effects of the flu anymore Jessie. A don't feel as weak or tired as I did this morning before I went home and took a nap before dinner." I touched her shoulder in a sisterly manner. "Thanks for the thought though little sister but I'm fine and can do this."
She opened her mouth to continue to protest.
"Oh come on Jessie, stop arguing with her. If Danni wants to take her turn then let her." Mandy said coming to my defense and finally the argument was over.
It was my turn this time, time to take the daring leap that we usually got caught doing by a cop if they happened to be cruising by at that time if we weren't being very careful like a couple of our first few times. I took a quick and deep breath, looked in both directions making sure the coast was clear, and bolted for the next alley hoping I would not be seen by anyone. Swiftly I made it to my final destination and slipped into the alley way that was near the FBI headquarters like usual in the cool spring night air with a slight breeze so we were only wearing light jackets to keep warm in the night air. We had done this all winter since last fall after the red ribbon week assembly at school that we had nearly skipped but decided it wasn't worth it in the end if we were caught going off school boundaries by a teacher who walked around the school during assemblies to stop students from running off since the crash outside the front of the school the year before when people were leaving during an assembly that was a tradition for most students because the assemblies were usually boring and worthless. We thought about going to the seminary building and sit in the foyer talking during the assembly but the teachers caught us heading that way and ushered us all to the auditorium for the assembly which we unhappily obeyed.
My light brown hair had shined showing off my natural red highlights and my artificial blond highlights from the light that had barely touched me from the street lamp across the street when I had darted quickly into the next alley from the one I had been standing in before trying to remain hidden with my three closest friends. We always used the same alleys every night for our familiar escapade every day since that day we got obsessed with this group at our school. I stayed put standing perfectly still hoping not to hear a voice calling me 'kid' in the surrounding darkness full of long shadows then as I ventured to the entrance of the alley and peeked out making sure the coast was still clear then I finally could sigh with relief. With my dark brown eyes I search the empty street and found it was still ovoid of life as it was when I had made my quick move to get where I was going. Only one thing was moving on the lonely street, a stray brown and gray stripped tabby cat sitting under a street lamp eating what I guessed was a mouse it had caught in the night. I could hear the cars on the highway three city blocks away but no movement on this street told me that they were oblivious to our presence here once more. The smile came to my face when I realized we were once again the shadows in the dark street invisible to all the others who were all around us in our little town that was pretty much boring every day and I had lived in it my whole life. I waved for my friends to come and join me in our spying alley when I saw no one had seen me entering the alleyway and no cops had seen us either because we were out way past curfew and we really didn't want to be caught again like a couple of the first few times we had tried this but that was before we were experts now as this. Two other girls and one boy quickly joined me in our favorite alleyway with matching grins on their faces and giving me proud thumbs up for my quick movements to get to our alleyway without getting seen and caught by anyone. As silently as we could we moved swiftly through the alley silently we made it to the other side so we could see the FBI's headquarters main doors from where we stood invisible to the naked eye in the dark shadows around us since we were all wearing dark colors to hide us all in the shadows around us.
A few seconds into our normal spying operation that we did on a nightly basis for about six months now, Kyle, the only boy in the spy group, started to make his normal ruckus that made it impossible for us to not be caught by the BAU team we like to spy on from our alley way nightly. His green eyes shined with his endless, boundless, energy and all kinds of mischief while he rubbed his hand through his light brown hair messing it up never letting it get too tidy or lay down straight on top of his head he then started to make the noise he always made since the day he was born thinking it was just too quiet in life for normal people. You'd be surprised at how much noise one person can make when they try to. All his noise was loud enough to wake up the entire town and annoy the three of us to no end when we knew he'd get us all caught again by the BAU team without even trying to. Why did Jessie insist we always bring him along with us to spy when she knew he was going to make so much noise and get us caught by the BAU nearly every time because of he always acted like he was totally insane and had no brain or had lost it somewhere along the way?
"Oh please, for goodness sake, Kyle, for once will you please stop being so loud and obnoxious around us while we are spying tonight so we don't get caught again because of you and your obnoxious loud noise!? I mean it for once in your life time can't you just whisper and hold still until we are done tonight!?" Mandy threw her hand over his mouth pushing him hard against the wall in a hope to keep him very still and a least a little bit quieter than usual tonight though we knew he could do that on his own we all also knew he wouldn't. Her long light brown-blond hair that hung half way down her back to her waist swinging sporadically as she moved quickly toward him. When she pushed him she had no trouble keeping him there with her strength because she really was very strong and probably the strongest person I knew besides Jessie. Her brown eyes were shining menacingly at him as she glared. "You make us get caught almost every time we come here to spy on the team now days sense we started to bring you along on our spying job or whatever you want to call it and… Gross! Kyle do you know how disgusting that is when you do that!?" Mandy said dancing away from him rubbing her hand on her pants grumbling about him being childish and we were all still very annoyed at him for being obnoxious. Obviously to all of us Kyle, who had started to laugh a little too loudly, had licked her hand while it was still over his mouth to get her to move away so he could make even more noise than before she had stopped him. No wonder we always hated bringing him along for the ride as he called our spying jobs. This was not as fun as it used to be for us anymore with him running around us in circles, like the Tasmanian devil, full of an endless supply of energy. For him this was the time of his life and for us it was a very serious mission we had to accomplish without getting caught doing it. We groaned unhappily as he started to continue from where he left off when Mandy had covered his mouth. He had started to sing "I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly". Why was he singing that of all the songs in the world he could sing?
"For the last time will you all please just be really quiet right now especially you Kyle and please stop singing that ridiculous and annoying song before one of us losses our minds because of your total insanity," I said hoping we wouldn't be caught again by the team. Like last time and the time before...well every time since the first time we started to bring Kyle along with us we were always caught hiding and spying in our alley way. Before we started to bring Kyle along with us we had never got caught spying on the FBI team that had caught our interest when they had come to our school and talked in an assembly we had gone to expecting to be bored out of our minds during the whole entire thing and expected to fall asleep or sneak out and send the rest of the time in the entry way to seminary building but were pleasantly surprised when we found it quite interesting and the best one we had ever been too in high school.
It was about a lot of serious crimes and how to avoid starting to commit these kinds of crimes in the first place and a lot of it had to do with people who were sometimes on drugs. Some people like the ones they had to find got into crime too deep and usually ended up doing something horrible thinking it was okay like all criminals that they usually caught did. They told us all to go talk to someone if you were under a lot of stress for help first instead of going off the deep end by getting off by killing someone or doing something illegal to get relief from your pain. It usually doesn't do you any good in the end.
"I know even more annoying songs that that one is Danni!" Kyle grinned at me, "For example one of my personal favorites that I'm sure everyone knows by now and it goes something like this, 'This is the song that never ends! Yes it goes on and on my friends!' Come on, sing it with me. 'Some people started singing it not knowing what it was and they continued singing it forever just because! This is the song that never ends! Yes it goes on and on...!'"
"Kyle, please don't do this to me right now, stop singing that of all things in the world! If you must sing then sing something else but that song before I go out of my mind!" I said feeling like I was going to go insane if he keep singing "The Song That Never Ends." I hated that song with a passion beyond human and I'm not the only one who does I'm sure.
Kyle laughed and then started to sing a similar and just as annoying song "Oh I know a song that gets on every bodies nerves, every bodies nerves, every bodies nerves! Oh I know a song that gets on every bodies nerves and this is how it goes! Oh I know a song that gets on every bodies nerves, every bodies nerves...
"A different one then that one too Kyle, for heaven's sake you crazy idiot, you are driving me up the wall and down the other side with all those endless songs!" I shouted annoyed beyond reason wishing he would shut up.
"I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts did-a-lee-de; there they are standing in a row. Bump, bump, bump. Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head and I pick one up and this is what I said, oh I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts..."
"Kyle, please for once in your life time you had better stop singing every version that is known on this earth of the never ending songs that drive everybody crazy and you know I meant that the first time I told you to stop singing those kinds of songs! In fact if you stop singing all together right now and that will make everyone else happy because we won't be caught again over here because of you!" I said rubbing my face. "Please just shut up for once in your life time before one of us goes insane or we get caught once again because if we do it will be your fault like every time we do get caught!"
Kyle moved behind Jessie with another laugh sense I so wanted to kill him now though I never would and he knew it too. "Remember you have to get in line if you want to kill me Danni!" he continued to laugh hard from behind her and she rolled her eyes at his behavior that made us all very angry at him.
Jessie had black hair and green eyes and she was Kyle's only and first ever girlfriend. How they had stayed together was any body's guess at the time and was what even more amazing about them was they were both still alive and in one piece, not counting the hair Jessie had practically pulled out. So everyone now called them teasingly the Miracle Couple sense they hadn't killed each other yet. Well maybe sense Jessie hadn't killed Kyle yet because of his insane and ridiculous behavior every time we turned around. Most people couldn't stand Kyle being around them at all because he acted very crazy and insane all the time though he was really smart but that's what had made him a member of our group of friends at school in the first place, because like everyone else he didn't belong in any other group.
Sense we had two boys named Kyle in our own group of friends at school we all called him Crazy Kyle and the other Nutcase Kyle sense they both did things that were totally insane but the other one acted sane most of the time when this one didn't at all. We were all the outcasts at school and were treated awful or as part of the walls. We hated it that way and wanted it to change so anyone who didn't belong or feel accepted in the other groups or cliques joined our group and found that they fit in perfectly since we didn't have any stupid rules about how to dress, how to act, or what activities you could do, and we accepted anyone and everyone who wanted to be one of us. Even if they were supposed to feel like they really belonged to one clique but felt they were really as accepted there or didn't really belong there like they wanted to feel they'd hang out with us instead knowing we didn't care how different they were they could be whatever they wanted to be and we didn't shun them for it. We called ourselves the HSR's which was short for High School Rejects or some people in our groups said misfits because it was a nicer way to say rejects. Most of the people in the popular groups had shunned us at first and since they rejected us we rejected them to a degree. Sense some of those popular kids who at one time hated us suddenly realized how accepting and kind we were and joined us, we acted like we had forgotten their old ways like they had never happened and it was never held against them in any way. That was what started our rule of acceptance that clearly stated: Anyone who wanted to or needed a different group of friends to belong to in our school they could join our group so they had some people to be with and someone who accepted them for who they really were so they felt like they fit in despite their differences. Anyone is allowed into our group no matter what and no one can exclude them or kick them out without a valid reason and even then it had to be voted upon by the group and agreed upon by the presidency, which was the three of us girls and Kyle.
"Will you please stop doing that Kyle?" Jessie said behind me sense I turned back to the doors waiting for the team to exit after their long day at work. She had said that a little too loudly for my liking sense Kyle had started to bother her once again instead of me. Kyle was always bothering one of us for his own amusement and entertainment all the time even at school but we didn't mind it at school as much as some. No matter what we did to stop him he was always on the move running around like a chicken with its head cut off. We thought about hogtying him in place once in a while but we never really did. We never really got much of a chance to try because he was a really fast runner and would take off as soon as he found out what we were about to do.
He was even faster than Jessie was and that's saying a lot sense she'd challenged the track team's star runner to a race once around the track because he was offending me in math class on a daily basis and he wouldn't leave me alone even when the teacher told him to stop teasing me. So I finally made him a little deal. If I could find someone that could beat him in a race he would have to shut up and leave me alone for the rest of the school year. Jessie was my first choice and she won by a long shot less than a week ago. The track team's coach asked her to join the team but she declined his offer not wanting to be known as at all as a Jock but only as a proud member of the HSR's for the rest of her days in High School. Not to mention she wanted to pursue her artistic, investigating abilities and such, not her athletic talents which she didn't want to work on anymore.
I watched the Criminal Minds Crew, as we called the FBI team we were watching, walked out of the headquarters in a group as usual not even looking at our alley at all even though we always hid there and nearly got caught nearly every day because Kyle was making too much noise and having them hear us in our alley. I'm surprised they didn't know we were there right away when they walked out. Kyle's noise was like a giant spot light that was focused brightly on us and no matter how hard we tried to hide from its light it was always there. They always saw us but only knew our first names or, like in my case, our nicknames.
"This is totally like Mission Impossible you know! Mission Impossible Four, never getting caught outside the headquarters of the FBI by the BAU while we are spying on them!" Kyle and his brilliant phrases always had to be loud and obnoxious and almost always never made much sense to us. This one however did make perfect sense to us. No wonder we always got caught with him around being a complete crazy idiot who had lost his mind. No wonder why we all called him Crazy Kyle. He was always acting crazy and he would always be the first one to admit it too.
"Hurting you, I bet, is Mission Impossible Five sense not getting caught here spying on them is Mission Impossible Four because you act like you are made of metal!" Mandy said through gritted teeth because she was trying not to beat him to death at the time because he had made us so angry and annoyed. At the time it was obvious we were not happy with him at all right now.
I turned in time to see Jessie slam her fist in his shoulder trying to hurt him in any way she possibly could again. He stood smiling and laughing not feeling anything when she hit him as hard as she possibly could and that was saying something because Jessie can hit really hard and she could hurt people a lot more than anyone else in the HSR's.
She was a very good fighter and everyone knew that as well. She also was a very formidable foe but hardly ever fought because she always said 'I won't start a fight but I will finish one. Someone else has to throw the first punch. Whether it is physical or verbal I will push back.' Her words had turned into one the HSR's many motto's and it was one of the favorites to say.
She tried to hurt Kyle, the brainless wonder again and again but this time she hit him in the stomach he continued to laugh still but that was his weak spot still it didn't hurt him too much only a little bit.
I had to roll my eyes at Kyle, whom I did a lot whenever he was around and we were trying to hurt him. Us, three teenage girls, trying to hurt the un-hurt-able-made-of-metal- brainless- wonder Crazy Kyle as we all still called him because he was still acting insane and was never hurt no matter what. I swear he acted like he was made of something stronger then mental and to tell you the truth I wouldn't be surprised if he was because he acted like he had no brain either sometimes. I also wished that he had a zipper on his mouth or something to shut him up every once in a while. That was one more thing to add to my impossible wish list along with getting a new laptop for Christmas so I could type up my story the Enchantments on it. I wanted to be a writer or an investigator someday, and the Enchantments, my first novel I had ever written was filling up many notebooks that started to fall apart so I stuck them in a three ring binder though my story wasn't quite finished I wanted to start typing it.
"Stop acting like a bunch of five year olds for once in your life time," I said annoyed. "Or they'll see us once again. Especially if we don't quiet down right now including you Mr. Hi-my-name-is-Kyle-and-I'm-made-of-metal-and-have-no-brain and I really mean it this time because they are out here now so we need to be quiet."
"That's quite a long title you gave me right there Danni and I like that one a lot more than some of the others I've heard people call me!" Kyle said laughing like a he had gone insane. "It would be perfect if you could maybe add in some word like crazy or insane in there somewhere though. Those names are my favorites."
"It's always Kyle's fault every time we get caught here as you should know very well too Danni." Jessie started to say turning to me pointing at him with an accusatory finger. "Mr. Brilliant over here has to start laughing like hyena or something close to it and get us discovered every night since we stated to bring him along. So you can just blame him for getting us caught here every night not me or Mandy just him. Oh Kyle, will you stop playing with my hair for once? You know I hate when you or basically anybody for that matter plays with my hair and you know it too. I've told you that over a million times all ready not to do that at all but you keep doing it anyway."
"Whose idea was it for Kyle to join the main spy team again, Jessie?" I said answering my own question in the same sentence. It had been her idea and she knew it. "You wanted to bring him along so we did and ever since then we've been caught about every other breath because of his craziness and joyous noise which I bet he thinks he can't live without. Before when it was just the three of us doing this spying job and we never got seen or caught at all. The team didn't know we existed much until Kyle joined us on our main spy team operations. It's impossible to remain hidden when Kyle is around us as if you haven't even noticed that yet."
"I thought we could use him around here but... Hey Kyle what are you doing? Put me down right now!" Kyle had picked Jessie up and moved her over to the other wall for a better view of the parking lot though she didn't notice that at all. Not that it mattered either because they must have heard us again and knew exactly where we liked to hide from them. Next thing we knew they were walking toward the alley we were hiding in knowingly hoping to tell us to stop following them which we never would listen to them telling us to stop following them around everywhere.
"Run!" Mandy was the only one who had noticed them coming toward our alley because the rest of us had stopped watching for a minute to yell at Kyle who was laughing loudly and hysterically like he had lost his mind yet again which happened a lot of the time. She took off scaring the living daylights out of the cat that had crossed the street and now was walking past the alley when she bolted out to get away. The yowl told her she had scared it and was sorry about it. She was a very serious cat lover and had several cats of her own and feed all the strays in our neighborhood and half of them lived in an abandoned barn behind her house on her property.
"Kyle, I'll murder you later for this!" Jessie said running after her knowing why Mandy had left us. She over took her in a few seconds being the fastest of our spy group besides Kyle who we all knew would be the last one to start running because he was the slowest to react for some reason to our spying operation being aborted because we had been seen by the team.
"Get in line Jessie!" I shouted running after her knowing the same thing she did but I was not as fast as her or Mandy.
"We'll kill him then bring him back to clean up the mess, kill him again and bring him back to clean up the mess again then when we get bored doing that we'll bury him alive!" She called to me as we ran out of the alley way and down the silent street in our home town not being seen by anyone else in the still deserted street of our home town.
Kyle realizing we'd all suddenly just left him behind yelled, "Hey, little older sisters, wait for me, you know you can't just leave me out here all alone!" He took off running after us though we weren't faster than him we had a minute head start so it would take him a while to catch up with us.
"Hotch, I think we've got those four teenage kids following us around again." Reid said. "They left so we didn't get a really good look at them but I heard their voices and recognized them. I think it's the same ones as last time because their voices sounded quite familiar."
"If they don't get on the jet again on our next case we'll survive the boy that they call Kyle." Hotch hadn't forgotten at all when he found us hiding on the plane. That was not something you easily forget especially when Crazy Kyle's involved unfortunately.
