Lone Wolf Preview
Hey y'all, I thought I might go ahead a do a squeal, since y'all liked 'The Playing Game'. Not sure where this one maybe heading so bear with me.
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. - Henry David Thoreau"
It was your average Monday morning in Rosewood I met up with the girls for coffee before I had to go into work, I took my aviators as I was entering the Brew to see Jason walking the down the street with his shirt sling over his sending me chills down my spine, just as Jenna's blue Mustang drove by.
I paid the barista and found both Aria and Hanna just as my cell ranged with Garcia's name flashing across the screen. This could mean only one thing.
"Garcia."
"The team is on their way. I sent the info to your cell." A sigh escaped my mouth.
"I'll review it and let the team know what I come up with. Thanks for letting me know."
"Anytime. Oh and Alex."
"Yeah, Garcia?"
"We miss you down here." A tiny smile formed on my face.
"Me too. Garcia." I ended the phone call just as the picture of the last picture of Jack showed up on my screen and as Hanna got my attention.
"Earth to Alex." I looked at her. "You ok?"
"Yeah. I actually gotta run."
"Now?" she asked. I nodded.
"Must be pretty important to leave you distracted." Aria added.
"I'm good. Really. I'll catch you two later?" They nodded as I left my cup of coffee on the table.
…
I was reviewing the case file that Garcia had given me in the conference room when I dialed Hotch's number.
"Alex, you're on speaker."
"So I'm reviewing the case file the Garcia sent over and from what it looks like, we might have to go to Radley."
"You think CeCe Drake is living there?" Morgan asked.
"Possibly but I have to do more research-."
"And talk to Fitz?" Reid asked.
"I think I have a better idea." I couldn't see it, but I could tell the team was sharing looks.
"Ok." Hotch said. "Be careful."
"Always. I'll call when I have something."
…
I pulled up to Radley's killed the ignition, tossed my shades in the passenger seat and flashed my badge to the uniform, met up with Morgan and JJ inside.
"Hope I didn't interrupt your morning breakfast." Morgan said.
"You didn't." We entered Mona's old room and looked around as I felt my body tense up.
"What exactly are we looking for?"
"Anything that can lead us to CeCe Drake." I walked over to the white desk that had the words 'Will the Circle Be Unbroken' carved into it.
"Alex," JJ asked. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah."
…
Back at the station, we were in a closed conference room going through what had to be a dozens of pictures when I came across some recent pictures of Jason and I placed them on the table.
"Guys." They walked over.
"Pictures." Morgan said.
"Of the gang and I before Alison's disappearance-."
"Isn't that-?" JJ asked.
"Yeah." I swallowed.
"We need to let Hotch-." I cut him off on the way out.
"Let me handle it."
"Alex! You can't go all lone wolf on this."
"Watch me." He ran his hand over his head as I left.
Few hours later, I pulled into Ravenswood on my Harley when I spotted Jenna's Mustang and I flipped my visor back down drove past without being seen. I met up with Caleb who was sitting on a picnic table reading a classic book.
"Dostoyevsky?" He closed the cover and looked at it and back at me. I shrugged.
"You can tell from here?"
"Lucky guess." We exchanged hugs.
"So does Hanna know you're here?"
"Actually no." I started to rub my neck.
"You need my help don't you?"
"Yeah. I do. Caleb I wouldn't be asking you if I-." He smiled.
"Alex, it's ok. What do you need me do?"
"I need your computer expertise."
"I thought your old team-." I gave him a slight nod.
"Technically I'm not a fed anymore." He nodded.
…
Couple hours later the two of us were eating sub sandwiches that I had gotten from the local café in town and ran into Caleb's friend Miranda who had offered to help as much as she could.
"Got a date later?" Caleb asked as I was leaning against my motorcycle and I stuck my tongue out at him. "Now that's attractive." I tossed my wrapper at him just as my cell ranged.
"Brooks… I'll be right there."
"What's up?"
"Apparently, my dear ol' dad wants to speak to me."
"Want me to come with?"
"Nah. I'll be fine. I'll call when I can."
"Be careful." I waved goodbye as I drove off.
I walked in the interrogation room to see my father handcuffed to the table wearing an orange jumpsuit. I turned the metal chair around and took a seat.
"You came."
"You said you wanted to talk, so I came."
"No extra muscles?"
"I can call them if you like." He held his hands up in defense.
"No need. I can play nice." I arched an eyebrow at him knowing the others were watching from the other side.
"Can you?"
"I do have these nice silver jewelry that I have gotten used to."
"You said you had some information for me?"
"Right. Someone came by yesterday."
"Why should I believe you?"
"She gave me this." He handed me a note. "I think you'll find this interesting."
'Think you know everything? A' It read.
"Why you?"
"Hey, don't shoot the messenger. Just thought you should know." I started to get up. "Don't I get a lawyer or something?" I left. "ALEXANDRA!" I walked out of the interrogation room handed the piece of the paper to Rossi and left.
I was pulling out of Rosewood just as Hotch exited the station with Morgan behind.
"I want you to keep an eye on her."
"You think she's hiding something?"
"Whatever is in that note that she gave to Rossi has her spooked." Morgan placed his shades on.
"I'll keep you posted." Aaron nodded.
…
I saw Miranda at the local coffee shop and happened to see the black SUV a few cars behind my parked Harley, which I made a mental note to tell Morgan to back off.
"Everything ok?"
"Yeah. Just a reminder I have to take care of something later."
"Caleb said that he'll catch you'll tomorrow." I gave a nod as she handed me a piece of paper.
"What's this?"
"This is what Caleb has come up since he had to meet Hanna." She saw the SUV. "I don't want to alarm you-."
"Don't worry, he won't bite." She gave me a confused look.
"You know him?" I nodded.
"Would you believe a long story?"
"Actually yes."
We said our goodbyes and I watched her leave and made my way over to Derek's car just as I saw Jason pull up for our dinner date.
"Derek." I said leaning into his window. "What are you doing here?"
"I just wanted to see what Ravenswood was really like." He smirked.
"Tell Hotch, that I'm fine." He started the car. "Oh I did fine some info on CeCe Drake."
"Should I even ask?"
"It's all in there."
…
The next morning I felt Jason's fingers tracing over my bare shoulder as I cuddled closer to him in the sleeping bag.
"Hey sleepy head." I looked up at him tiredly as I greeted him with a kiss.
"Morning." We continued to kiss but was soon interrupted by cell phone making me let out a groan. "I thought you turned that off." He said smiling as he brushed my mated hair out of my face.
"I'm on call." I reached my cell in the zipped bag that was hanging from the tent. "Brooks." I sat up. "Are you sure? I'll be there in twenty."
I met up with Morgan who tried to stop me from entering in my father's crime scene.
"Morgan, I gotta-."
"Alex. I can't let you-." I tried to break from his grasp. "Baby girl, listen to me. You don't want to go back there."
I finally broke free and hurried to where the others were but only to get stop by Pam Fields just as I spotted the blood on Rossi's shirt.
"DAD!" I could feel tears forming in my eyes.
"Morgan, get her out of here."
Hey it's me again. I know I said I might not write for awhile, but this is what I have so far. Hope y'all like it.
