Part 2
David asked Penelope to send an APB on Jack and Aaron Hotchner, knowing that it was already too late, 48 hours; it was long, far too long to find somebody in their situation...
They both knew it but they preferred not to think of it, not now!
The door of Garcia's office opened again, JJ appeared, she was paled, if Penelope didn't know her, she would have been able to think that she had just met a ghost. JJ was paled and upset!
She gave her her mobile phone. «Connect it on your computer, I received a message this morning, a short movie, and…" her voice broke. Garcia froze.
«David? »
«We know what happened, and we know who the instigator is, but we don't know why! »
«I know! » Murmured JJ, «But I shall explain later!»
Penelope pulled Rossi by his sleeve, what she had seen on her screen had left her dumb, she couldn't speak any more, and she paled!
A dark room, without windows, a sofa, and two persons, an adult and a child, the adult had a desperate sight, a tired face, the child was in his arms, and he was determined not to release him, obviously the little boy slept, peacefully, it was a father with his son, Aaron and Jack.
During the film David had stopped breathing. No ransom, no requirement, nothing...
The only indication they had was Ian Doyle's presence during the kidnapping, and for the link which connected him with Hotch, it was still vague!
David suddenly thought that they would have to kill him this day, they would have avoided this situation, Jack must be terrorized and Aaron was hurt! It was time to find them soon!
But where to begin?
They hadn't a single clue, a single indication, then, he remembered JJ's words and questioned her...
«You said that you knew why... "
JJ shook her head but didn't say anything, the door opened again and this time with a crash and at Penelope's surprise it was…
"Derek... "
He was in New York, he was the unit chief there, he had taken Kate Joyner's place, she had spoken with him two days ago and he was there, in front of her, it was mad!
He was angry, but he didn't know about the kidnapping.
«Where is Hotch, I would like to speak to him!" she jumped, his voice was icy and he really hoped an answer to his question, and a place where he could give free rein to his fury against his former boss!
«Derek! »
Penelope tried to understand, she had never seen him like this before.
"He lied to us, why?"
JJ faced him, and murmured: "He had no choice!"
Derek's face wrinkled, he paled: "You knew?"
«Yes, and I repeat that he had no choice! »
«JJ! » the shout came from his heart - «Why? »
A tear began flowing on her cheek, in a sob, she murmured: «He had made a promise"
"He would have been able to speak to us about it, to inform us, and not let us die from sorrow, everything, but not that!"
"He had no choice, Derek!" JJ's answer was short and hurtful.
Penelope cut the conversation and asked the question which Rossi was waiting for: "What happens?"
Derek explained that during an investigation he had seen someone he knew, someone who had disappeared, someone who had died some weeks ago. He had followed her, and to be sure that it wasn't a dream, he had met her, and she was always there, very alive and in full health, Emily!
Emily!
The news was welcomed with more or less happiness, but fell badly...
Derek continued: "She told us that she had try to contact Hotch several times and that he had never called back", when he saw the worried glance exchanged between JJ and David, he understood the worst of the situation!
Emily had made a terrible mistake by reappearing and contacting her former boss.
She had put her life in danger but also and especially Hotch and Jack's lives!
All of this explained many things finally.
Derek wasn't the only one who had found Emily and Rossi understood very quickly Ian Doyle's motivations, and he had finally found the link between him and Aaron.
JJ's words, Derek's story, David began to analyze the situation; Aaron Hotchner had become the victim of a bad case.
Morgan looked for David's support, he waited, a word, a word which would give him a good reason to intend his fury against Aaron Hotchner, even if, suddenly, he wasn't so sure about his motivation and obviously not after what David said:
"Emily is alive, it's a good thing, really, but Hotch is going to die!"
"Hotch is going to die?"
Derek repeated Rossi's words.
"And Jack is with him!"
