"Teenage Problems"
Hotch's' POV
It all happened so fast. One minute we were clearing a room and the next we had two passed out teenagers that used to be federal agents. The man we were hunting down was a deranged psychopath that was killing little kids and leaving them in dumps around the city. The weird part was that none of these kids were reported missing.
Back 10 minutes…
After five days we had it narrowed down to one man, a Harry Jenkins. As a child his mother had beat, raped and a whole lot of other un-nameable things. So he was taking kids who were not being 'cared' for properly. When we found where he was holed up we were too late to save the last kid. She looked to be about 11 years old. Emily and Derek went to the right, Rossi and Reid went to the left and JJ and I went forward.
"Clear", came Rossi' voice.
"Clear", JJ.
But not a sound from Emily or Derek. So we all went to where they had been heading. When we got there we saw Jenkins kneel down next to Emily with a knife in his hand. By that time I guessed what he was about to do, so I along with everyone else lift their weapons, all aimed at his chest. "Jenkins drop the weapon. Now!" I heard JJ yell next to me. He turned around and put the weapon on the ground.
"It's too late. I already injected them." He said. Reid ran forward with his gun still leveled and handcuffed the man. I didn't know what he meant but in two minutes I saw what he was talking about… they were turning into kids, okay not exactly more like teenagers. Emily looked to be about fourteen…fifteen years old and Derek looked to be about sixteen…seventeen years old.
"We better get them to a hospital to check for possible injuries, the change could have caused something serious." Rossi' voice cut through the thick silence surrounding the group.
Later at hospital…
"Okay, it looks like both Prentiss and Morgan are completely fine." The doctor said walking into the room with two files in hand that I guessed to belong to Emily and Derek.
An audible sigh could be heard throughout the room, "Can we see them?"
"Yes and we moved them into the same room. Follow me." and she turned around. We walked for what seemed like forever through that hospital. When we got there, they were starting to stir.
"Somebody should call Garcia and tell her what happened." Hotch said from the door where he was standing. JJ said she would do it and stepped out of the room. Five minutes later she walked back in and said, "Garcia is freaking out and said she would be here in an hour or so."
Emily was the first to wake up completely. Her hair was longer and she had side-swoop bangs, she was really skinny, and was about average height. Morgan awoke about three minutes later. He was a big boy with a lot of muscles not as big as he has in adult form but for a teenager it was pretty impressive.
"Who are you?" was the first thing asked it came from Emily. What do I say, she obviously doesn't know who we are.
"We are friends of your mothers." Everyone looked at me but I just stared ahead. "Oh…and who's that?" she said pointing at Morgan. "Oh…we are watching him too."
"How old are the two of you?" Reid asked from the back of the room.
"I'm fourteen. In about one week I should be turning fifteen though." Emily said looking at a calendar that didn't have the year, luckily.
"And I'm fifteen." Derek said swinging his legs over the side of his bed.
"So why are we in the hospital?" Emily asked as she sat up.
"Oh well we were leaving the airport were you both were dropped off and you fell down the stairs taking Derek with you and you both passed out." Geez that is a terrible excuse.
"Oh my god…Derek I'm sorry are you okay?" Emily asked a bit apprehensively. Her cheeks were flushed red with embarrassment.
"Yeah I'm fine. My mama always did say I have a head of steel." He said laughing. You could tell these two were going to get along.
"Okay so let's get going we will be staying at my house for the time being." Rossi said from the back of the room. Well it does make since he's the only one with enough space for us all. We all head outside after JJ signs them out, Derek, Emily, and JJ get in one SUV and Reid, Rossi, and I get in the other.
"So what am I supposed to call you?" Emily asked JJ from the backseat of the SUV.
"You can call me JJ. Or Jennifer or Jareau."
"I'll stick with I think."
When we get to Rossi' house everyone gets out and when we get inside Rossi shows us to where we will be staying. He places Derek and Emily in the rooms closest to the back door where there was a pool and basketball court. "Oh cool anyone want to play basketball?"
"I will."
"Me too."
"And me."
