chapter 3
JJ couldnt believe what she was seeing. who could do this? what did this mean? what did they want? so many questions came through her head. She was so confused. just then she heard the lock of Wills car. She couldnt let them see the house like tthis it would only scare Henry and worry Will. She ran out of the house to greet them at the door. "hi sweetie" she said as she bent down and hugged Henry. "did you have fun at shool today?" she asked still kneeling. "yeah!" Henry answered as he jumped up and down."whats wrong" Will interrupted, worry written all over his face. JJ looked up at Will wth red eyes trying to force a smile. "nothing, why do you a-" before she could finish her last word Will already knew she was lying. He let out a deep breath and ran his fingers through his hair. He and JJ has that in common. Oh who was she kidding she could never lie to Will she thought. , someone broke into the house." JJ admitted. "seriously? what did they take?" Will asked walking up to the house. JJ put a hand on his chest to stop him from going in. "from the looks of it, nothing" Will looked confused. "so whats the big deal, we'll just get a better alarm system." "this was personal" JJ said wth her arms folded and head down.
He watched them from afar. Seeing the shocked look on her face when she entered the house was priceless. He wished that he could see it again. Now he sat there and watched their perfect little family start to unravel. He loved everey mi nte of it.
After JJ explained what she saw to Will, she called the team. They would help her decide what to do. As soon as they heard the news they were on their way. They arrived at te crime scene in no time. " are you guys okay." morgan asked as he hopped out of the drivers seat of the truck. JJ gave a ppathetic laugh "of course". "so do you know of anyone who could have done this?" Hotch asked as he walked up. ,"ive been trying to think of someone, anyone who ccould have done this and im still coming up blank." JJ responded. After a few hours of assessing the crime scene the team agreed that it would be best for the family to stay at a hotel for the night. They did just that.
He heard every word that they said. What hotel they'll be staying at, what floor, even which room. They were bringing the bastard with them, thats gonna be a problem he thought. He'll work through it. His plans always worked out.
JJ thought that she would take a quick shower while Henry and Will took a swim in the indoor pool. She needed to relax. She stayed in the shower for about 15 minutes longer than she had planned. She turned the water off and stepped out of the shower. She couldnt help but scream when she saw the same word "remember" written on the bathroom mirror in the same liquid as before. Someone had followed them to the hotel. Who? Why? An employee heard JJs scream and knocked on the door of her room asking if she was okay. JJ scrambled for her clothes, but found out that they all had been ripped to shreds. She settled for one of the hotels towels and opened the door. "are you alight ma'am, other tenants said they heard screaming." Something about the employee seemed vaguely familiar to her, but she quickly brushed that feeling off. "i need you to call the police." Jj said with a shakey voice. The employee who had the nametag John seemed to be too lost at her lack of clothing and didnt quite hear what she hd said. JJ sshifted her feet and pulled the towel closer "i need you to call the police" she repeated this time with agression. He got the point and started running down the hall. JJ started to search for her cell phone, but couldnt find it anywhere. That bastard must've taken it she thought.
She was beautiful he thought a he ran down the hotel hallway. He hadnt noticed before. Jennifer Jareau was beautiful. Maybe he could start over with her, maybe not. He took the blonde wig and mustache he had on off and threw it in the trash. No police would be called, nope not today.
It seemed like hours had ppassed. Where the hell was the police JJ thought. She decided to use the room phone and call the police herself, explain her status and maybe they would come faster. She was right. They arrived within five minutes of her calling. They also contacted her team, and they were on their way. Will and Henry returned from the pool, "what the hell happened?" Will asked as he took in the scene. JJ looked aat Henrys scared expression and said " dont worry everythings ffine, to assure both of her boys. "Will i need to talk to you" Jj said excusing them from the room. "look i need you to take Henry and go somewhere, Jj said pleading Will with her eyes. "what? and lleave you here by yourself?" Will yelled. " i wot be alone i'll make sure one of my team is with me at all times" JJ already had thought this through. "i dont know" Will said "please just until this is over i'll feel much better if you two were out of harms way," JJ begged. "fine" Will let out a deep breath, "we'll beat my parents house" JJ ssmiled "good they'll love to see him" Will stared at Jj " come on ill be fine dont worry" Jj kissed him pationately. "i hope so" Will said. "oh and i booked your flights for tonight so you guys better get going." Wil turned to her "so you were gonna send us off?" Will joked. "yup to boarding school you go, ill send your things"
By time the team arrived the room was mostly clear. Henry and Will had already left and the police had their statements and was almost done cleaning. JJ still couldnt get her hands on some clothes and lucky for her the hotel room had no robes. She stood in tthe middle of the room clinching her towel. Emily walked up to her "i had some clothes sent here." "thanks" JJ said and nodded her head lost in thought. The other members of the team were getting what they could from the police. JJ leaned against the wall and started biting her bottom lip. Something she did when she tried not to cry. ,"why does it feel like this is just the beginning?" JJ asked no one in particular. Emily looked at her " because it is" JJ let the tears roll down onto her cheeks.
He sat in his house thinking about the sight of her, dripping fresh out of the shower trembling not from the cold, but from something he did. It was beautiful. It was just what he wanted. She must be scared of him. She should be scared of him. He let out another one of his evil menacing laughs and turned on a football game.
