Ghost Whisperer
I own nothing
This is after the Series Finale
"I can't hang out this afternoon." Emily said, walking with Andy to history. It's been a little over a week since Emily's hostage situation and ghost problem. It's Monday, September 21st. "Tennis practice, remember." Emily looked at Andy. "Besides, don't you have basketball?" Andy shook his head.
"I still don't understand why they want spring and winter sports to participate for Homecoming as well." Andy pointed out as they entered the classroom and took their seats. "It doesn't make much sense."
"Well, it's not only that." Emily said. "Since I'm new to the team, they want to prepare for the spring. They think that being more prepared will help with winning." Emily paused.
"What's that got to do with homecoming?"
"I don't exactly know." Emily said. "Introducing the new members of the team's maybe." Andy looked at Emily. "Hey, remember, I'm new here, I don't know how the school is run."
"I've been here since I started school, and I don't even know." Emily and Andy laughed and class begun.
"Hey Emily, are you coming?" Stephanie, one of the senior tennis players, asked.
"Yeah, I'll be there in a sec." Emily said. "Meet you out there."
"Ok." Stephanie said, before leaving with a few other girls from the team. Emily finished getting ready. She tied her shoes, grabbed her tennis racket and left the locker room.
"Four teen-age girls were taken from their school in Grandview, New York." Penelope Garcia said to her fellow co-workers. "The first two, Morgan Stills and Jennifer Lawrence, were taken Friday and the second two, Emily Andrews and Breanna Daze, were taken just a few hours ago."
"Why weren't we notified about the first two missing Friday?" Derek Morgan asked.
"Parent's thought they were staying at each other's houses." Jennifer Jareau, J.J, explained.
"No one tried to verify it?" Emily Prentiss asked. "Someone has a lot of trust in their children."
"Well, maybe this will help." Garcia stated. "Morgan and Jennifer had just finished practice whereas Emily and Breanna were taken before practice."
"Practice? Like sports?" Morgan asked.
"Exactly, my dear sweet Morgan. Each girl had practice, but not the same. Emily tennis, Breanna softball, Morgan basketball and Jennifer hockey."
"More than 7.6 million students play high school sports." The youngest member, Spencer Reid, stated.
"So we need to figure out why these four girls." The second in command, David Rossi, stated.
"Garcia, I want any information you can find out about these four girls, find some similarities and send us what you find." Leader, Aaron Hotchner, said.
"I'll get right on it sir." Garcia said.
"Wheels up in 30."
"What have you got Garcia?" Hotch asked as Garcia's face popped up on the monitor.
"Not much in the similarity department sir." Garcia said. "What I did find this that each girl had lost someone in their family." Garcia explained. Prentiss took the paper off the printer and handed it to everyone. "Jennifer and Morgan are good friends."
"Is that it?" Reid asked. "What about taking classes together?"
"Jennifer and Morgan are in all different classes this year, according to their schedules." Garcia said, typing on the computer. "Breanna and Emily are in Math and English together, but Emily is new to the school. So I don't think she knew many people."
"Switching schools can be hard." Reid stated. "There must be a popular place that the students like to go to hang out?"
"Not one that I can find at the moment, but I will keep looking." Garcia stated.
"Thanks Garcia." Hotch said. Garcia's face left the screen.
"I'll head over to the crime scene." Morgan suggested
"Take Prentiss with you." Hotch stated. "Reid and JJ head to the Police Station. Meet up with the Police Chief and get set up. Rossi and I will go speak with the families."
JJ and Reid were greeted when they entered the police station. "Thank you for coming. I'm Sheriff Carter Stone." Sheriff Stone said.
"I'm SSA Jennifer Jareau, we talked on the phone." JJ said, shaking Sheriff Stone's hand. "And this is SSA Dr. Spencer Reid." Reid gave Sheriff Stone a wave. "The rest of the team has already started and will be here later."
"Do you have a place where we can set up?" Reid asked.
"Of course." Sheriff Stone said. "We have a meeting room already to go." Sheriff Stone started taking them towards the meeting room. "We also have Stephanie Green, one of Emily's teammates here. She was the last to see Emily before she was kidnapped."
"I will go speak with her, if that is alright." JJ suggested.
"I want to start setting up." Reid said.
"I will take you to her." JJ followed Sheriff Stone over to his office where Stephanie was sitting, waiting patiently.
"Hi Stephanie." JJ said when she sat next to Stephanie. "My name is Jennifer Jareau. I am with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit."
"You're here because of Emily and the others, aren't you?" Stephanie asked. JJ nodded.
"I am." JJ said simply. "My team and I are going to do everything we can to locate Emily and the other girls." JJ told her. "Can I ask you a few questions?" Stephanie nodded. "What can you tell me about Emily?"
"Not much." Stephanie stated simply. "She is new. She moved to Grandview to live with her Uncle. She is amazing at Tennis, better than some of us seniors. She's the youngest on Varsity and is a future Varsity Captain." Stephanie paused. "To be completely honest with you, I only know her from Tennis. There isn't much else I can tell you."
"Does she have any friends that you know of?"
"She has one, but I don't really know him." Stephanie said. "Her uncle might though."
"You were last seen with Emily this afternoon, correct?"
"Yes." Stephanie said. "We were talking in the locker room before practice. Most of the team was already out on the courts, and a few of us, including Emily and myself, were left. She said she was going to meet up with us when she was done."
"Was there anything out of the ordinary that you may have noticed?" JJ asked. "Anything strange or out of place?" Stephanie paused before she shook her head.
"No nothing that I can recall." JJ gave a small smile.
"That's ok." JJ stated.
"Mrs. Rinehart, our Coach, sent me to see what was keeping her." Stephanie said, keeping back tears. "All I found of her was her tennis racket and tennis bracelet that she always wears." Stephanie paused. "I knew something was wrong when I saw the bracelet, she never takes it off." There was a knock at the door. Reid walked in.
"Hey JJ, there is a Jim Clancy here. He is Emily Andrews Guardian."
"Thanks Spenc." JJ said. JJ looked at Stephanie. "I will be right back." JJ stood up and turned to leave.
"Agent Jareau." JJ and Reid stopped and turned to face Stephanie. "Emily has had a rough few months. School has barely started and she's had way more excitement than expected." JJ looked at Stephanie.
"What do you mean?" JJ asked.
"I don't envy her." Stephanie stated. "I feel terrible she's in this state. Losing her father in June to Leukemia, moving three hours away, losing her best friend in July in a car crash, and just at the beginning of the school year, she was taken hostage." Stephanie explained. "I just wish there was more I can help you with." JJ rested her hand on Stephanie's shoulder.
"You have done more than enough." JJ told her. "She will need all the support and help she can get from someone like you." JJ said. "Try and be there for her, that's plenty enough to help. And keep positive. As a captain, you may be someone people come to for reinsurance." Stephanie looked at JJ and nodded. "I will be right back." JJ followed Reid out of Sheriff Stone's office and walked into the meeting room where Jim was sitting. Jim stood up quickly when JJ and Reid walked up to him. JJ reached out and shook Jim's hand. "Hi. I'm SSA Jennifer Jareau, but you can call me JJ." JJ said, motioning for Jim to sit down. "And you have met SSA Dr. Spencer Reid."
"What's going on?" Jim asked. "The police called my phone and asked me to come down to the station to speak with the FBI."
"So you don't know?" Reid asked.
"Know what? I've been at work all day."
"Mr. Clancy, I hate to be the one to tell you, but your niece Emily, is one of four students who have gone missing." Jim looked at JJ and then at Reid, obvious confused and shocked all at once. "We need you to tell us everything and anything you can think of."
"Why?" Jim asked.
"It will help us find similarities to the other girls and hopefully will help lead us to her kidnapper." Reid explained. "Maybe help us figure out why she was kidnapped."
"What do you want to know?"
"Start with her parents." JJ suggested.
"Her mom, Julie Andrews, died during Emily's birth." Jim started slowly. "Her dad, Michael Andrews, died in June from his Acute Leukemia." Jim sighed. "Mike had a rough first few months, with the death of his wife on top of a newborn baby." Jim paused. "Mike and I went to school together, high school and college. I became Emily's Godfather when Mike and Julie found out they were expecting." There was another pause. "Emily is a lot like her mom. Same laugh. Same smile."
"Emily plays tennis, doesn't she?" Reid asked. Jim nodded.
"Mike introduced her to tennis at a young age, about four or five years old. She's been playing since." Jim explained. "Julie use to play in high school."
"She must really love tennis." JJ stated.
"Yeah, she does." Jim smiled slightly. "She convinced the school board to keep tennis here in Grandview for another year in hopes to save it." Jim told them. "She's the youngest on Varsity and she plays for her mom."
"How long has she been living with you?" JJ asked.
"Since the middle of June." Jim stated as JJ's phone started to ring. JJ grabbed it. It was Morgan.
"Will you excuse us for a moment?" JJ said, motioning Reid to follow.
"Of course." Jim said. "I've got to make a call anyway." Jim grabbed his phone. JJ and Reid stepped out of ear shot and JJ answered the phone and put it on speaker.
"You got anything?" JJ said into the phone.
"We've got a few tire tracks and foot prints near the locker rooms." Morgan stated. "We have two different sets of prints. Size 12 and size 10, boots. Possibly male." Hotch and Rossi entered and joined JJ and Reid. Reid started writing on the board.
"That means we are looking for two Unsubs." JJ stated. "A team." JJ stated.
"Looks that way." Prentiss said on the phone.
"Anything else?" JJ asked.
"We have Garcia looking into the tire tracks, but these guys are good." Prentiss said. "Covered up their trail, made sure no one saw them."
"It's getting dark." Hotch said. "Finish up at the school and meet back here." JJ hung up the phone. "Did we finally get a hold of Emily's Guardian Jim Clancy?"
"Yes, I was talking to him when Morgan called."
"I'd like to meet with him." Hotch said.
"He's right over here." JJ said, leading Hotch over to where Jim finished a phone call.
"Mr. Clancy." Hotch said, reaching out his hand. "I'm Supervisory Special Agent Aaron Hotchner." Hotch said has he shook Jim's hand. "I'm sorry you had to find out about your niece the way you did." Hotch said. "We are going to do everything we can to find your niece."
"Is there anything else you need from me?" Jim asked. "I need to head home and help my wife explain to our 5 year old son why his cousin Emily not coming home tonight."
"No." Hotch said. "I believe Agent Jareau has covered everything."
"Actually." JJ said quickly before anyone could leave. "Stephanie Green, Emily's teammate, said that Emily had a friend in school."
"Yeah. Andy Suthers." Jim said. "He plays basketball." Jim sighed. "If you need anything you know where to find me." Jim said, leaving the station. JJ and Hotch watched him leave and Morgan and Prentiss arrived.
"Who was that?" Prentiss asked.
"Emily's uncle." JJ said. "He just found out about his niece going missing." JJ explained.
Emily woke up to freezing cold water being poured on her. She looked around. There were three other girls with her. Her hands and legs were tied.
"What's going on?" Emily asked. Another girl, a blonde, looked at her. She was also drenched in cold water.
"How'd we get here?" She asked.
"There are a few rules." A man said. "Do not try to run. Do not disobey me. Do not talk back to me." The man said. "Breaking these rules will result in punishment."
"Why are we here?" Emily asked.
"You're training will started in the morning." The man walked away, shutting the door behind him. The two girls looked at each other.
"I'm Breanna." The blonde girl said.
"I'm Emily."
"Jennifer." A second blonde girl said.
"Morgan." The other brunette said.
"What day is it?" Jennifer asked, before she started coughing.
"Monday." Breanna said. "What does he want from us?"
"We aren't sure." Morgan stated. "We usually train all day." Morgan explained. "Except today. Today we were done early. He left and came back with the two of you." "You're hurt." Emily stated when she noticed Morgan's arm.
"Yeah, I fell and broke my arm." Morgan said. "The one who kidnapped us, he made sure I couldn't hurt my arm any further."
"It looks like a professional did it." Breanna stated.
"We aren't sure who he is." Jennifer stated. "But you better rest up. Both of you." Jennifer added, getting comfortable on the floor. "We'll be up early."
"We know the Unsubs have a type." Morgan said. "Blonde and Brunette teenage girls who are star athletes."
"The similarities are very slim." Reid said. "We have two brunettes, Morgan and Emily, and two blondes, Jennifer and Breanna." Reid stated. "They all recently lost someone close to them, are one of the best players on their team." Reid looked at his fellow members. "That's about it."
"All that was left at the school from when Emily and Breanna disappeared was Emily's tennis bracelet and tennis racket and Breanna's Yankees' baseball cap and softball glove, all found near the locker room." Prentiss stated.
"And we know for a fact that the items are theirs?" Rossi asked.
"Breanna's parents recognized the baseball cap as her older brothers and the glove had her name on the inside." Prentiss stated.
"Jim, Emily's uncle, recognized the tennis bracelet as it belonging to Emily's late mother's before Emily's father gave it to her." JJ stated. "Stephanie Green, a teammate of Emily's, also recognized it." JJ added. "The tennis racket had her name on it."
"What about Jennifer and Morgan?" Reid asked. "Did they have anything that is missing?"
"Jennifer's parents said that Jennifer's hockey bag and hockey stick are missing." Hotch explained. "Morgan's parents haven't reported anything missing."
"So when the girls were grabbed, they were taken by surprise." Rossi thought out loud. "This caused them to drop what they were carrying."
"And if there was a struggle, Breanna's hat and Emily's bracelet would easily fall off." Prentiss added. No one was able to say anything due to the commotion out in the entrance of the station. Hotch walked out, followed by JJ, Rossi, Morgan, Prentiss and Reid.
"What's going on?" Hotch asked one of the police officers.
"We arrested this man for trying to steal from a liquor store." The officer said. "But that's not all." The officer said. "We found something interesting." The officer showed Hotch a bag and a hockey stick. "Bag and stick both belong to Jennifer Laurence, one of the missing girls." Hotch looked at the man the officers brought in.
"Get that bag tested for prints." Hotch said. "And let's get him sobered up for interrogation."
This Story is after Close Callings.
Sorry it took so long to finally post again. I have had a very hectic year. I have at least 1 more year of school if everything goes right. I also have taken on a higer roll at my work, so I've been working A LOT.
This was just a little "I'm still here" intro chapter.
