Chapter Seven: Shocking Revelations
Half an hour later and Tommy and I stood at our parents 'gravestones'. They were really more of random rocks that the gravestone engraver guy engraved for us for free. My Mom's said, 'L.R.B- beloved mother and wife. 6/16/1996' and it had a dove on it. My Dad's said, 'R.A.B- beloved father and husband. 6/16/1996' and it had an American flag on it. I looped my arm through Thomas' as we stared down at the graves. There was a snap of twigs in the distance.
"We'll be right back" Morgan said then he and Reid went into action. I walked forward slightly, stepping away from Thomas, and watched Spencer for a little while then turned back to face Tommy. What I saw shocked me. He had his gun out and pointed at me. Oh my God, my brother was pointing a gun at me. Someone grabbed me from behind tightly, covering my mouth so that I wouldn't scream.
"I'm sorry, Sis. But you were to close" Thomas said, aiming the gun at my heart.
I glared at him harshly.
"Get ready to say bye bye" The other person said harshly in my ear. It was a male voice, a familiar male voice. It took me a couple of seconds but then I realized what I was hearing. The voice was the voice of Gregory Salt, the coworker who had told me to go to my house. He was in on it all along?! Was there even a concerned neighbor?! Probably not. I saw Spencer and Derek coming towards us carefully, not making one sound and barely being seen. I bit Salt's hand and he took it off my mouth then took my gun out of its holster and threw it far away from me.
"Sorry, but can I please say something? Even in prison you get to say a few last words" I said my voice barely a whisper. They looked at each other and I took it as my opportunity, I mouthed, 'Stay' to Spencer and he stopped, making Morgan stop also. They were in shooting range if need be.
"Go ahead, but make it quick" Tommy said.
"Just promise me a few things" I said to him and Spencer and Derek (I was still wired so Derek and Spencer were listening).
"Sure, it's the least I could do"
"Remember that I'm your sister"
"Of course, Sis"
"I want you to try to stop murdering innocent people, please"
"I suppose I could try. Though I'm afraid I will fail"
"Promise to stay here and come to this place at least five times a year. No matter what, I want you to stay"
"Fine"
"One last thing, look at our parent's gravestones and tell me that you didn't do what I think you did"
He looked down at them, they both did. I took this as my one and only opportunity to get out of this alive. I grabbed Salt's wrist and his gun, and then flipped him over, onto the arm my brother was holding his gun in, and took Salt's gun from him at the same time. I then threw my brother's gun out of reach, grabbed my knife, then shot Salt in the stomach with his own gun and threw my knife at my brother's torso as he turned to the side to try to block it. I did all of that in less than a minute. I didn't even think twice about it, I knew that I had no choice. I had stabbed my brother and yet I felt nothing. Well, actually, I felt kind of numb. I waved my two protectors over and they both moved to me quickly, yet cautiously. I walked over to where my brother had fallen, knowing that Salt was being taken care of by Derek. I bent down and checked his pulse. Faint and extremely, achingly slow. He was going to die in the matter of minutes unless he got medical attention.
"Take the knife out" My brother said, barely audible. I took the knife out from his right side where it hit him then pushed on the wound to keep it from bleeding. Derek walked over and took over pressing on his wound which meant Salt was dead. I walked away from them with my knife and walked into a grassy part of the camp site. I stuck it in the ground to clean it, and then put it into its holster and stood. I watched my brother with stinging eyes.
"Everyone is on their way" Spencer said to me. I stared up at him with a blank expression. Then he broke me from the numbness I felt and hugged me. I didn't cry, though, I just hugged him silently. He stroked my hair gently and hugged back securely. I closed my eyes and breathed in his scent, his cologne smelt really good.
"Is an ambulance coming?" I whispered to Spencer, my voice surprisingly strong.
"Yes."
I hugged him tighter, but a comfortable tight.
"My brother. He killed my parents. He killed those girls" I said, frowning as I pulled away slightly to see his face.
"I'm sorry" Spencer said, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.
"You don't understand. If he did all those things, then where is my locket? He was the only other person who actually knew about it. And my dog tags?" I said, and then rushed to my brother and Derek. He wasn't wearing them and it wasn't in his pockets. I looked over to Spencer and saw some girl sneaking up behind him with a baseball bat. My eyes widened and I did the only thing I could think of, I ran and tackled her to the ground. Once she was there I ripped the bat out of her hands and threw it somewhere away from her. She surprised me by taking out a knife.
"Drop the knife or I shoot" Spencer said, his voice strong and demanding.
She faked like she was dropping it, but really she was getting ready to slit my throat from ear to ear. I grabbed the hand the knife was in and pushed her off of me as far as I could. Unfortunately she didn't let go of the knife, so she still had a weapon. She tried to lunge for me again, but I flung my folding knife at her, not bothering to aim and it hit her in the front torso somewhere. I stayed sitting on the floor where I was, my hands slightly shaking. I had probably just killed another person. I'm a monster, oh god, what have I done?!
"What happened?!" Hotch's voice shouted out as the whole team, the paramedics, and some people from my department showed up. My whole world felt like it was spinning slightly. I took a shaky breath to try to calm myself. Someone was helping me up, but I didn't have time for that now. As soon as I was up I went over to the girl. I checked her neck and there it was my necklaces. I ripped it off her neck. She grabbed my wrist, freaking me out and making me jump up. I hadn't killed her? I thought I had. I looked at where I hit her. It had been in her right lung and if she didn't get help soon, she would bleed out or asphyxiate.
"Ma'am?" One of the paramedics said, standing in front of me.
"Go help her" I said, pointing to the girl. He nodded and went away. I met the gazes of each of the members of the FBI with a slightly freaked out look.
"Alyssa" Spencer was calling me, but I didn't respond. I was too busy staring at my brother's partially lifeless form that was behind him, surrounded by EMTs and paramedics.
"Ally" Spencer said, approaching me.
I ignored him once again as I saw my brother being lifted onto a stretcher and then rushed away.
"You did what you had to do. Your act was justified" Rossi said.
"Killing two people and practically killing my own flesh and blood was a justified act?!" I yelled at him, finally letting all my feelings flood out of my body. Everyone stood there silently, watching me with a careful eye.
"I killed two people and stabbed my brother and I don't even feel regret! I don't feel anything!"
Spencer pulled me in for a hug, but I pushed him away.
"Just leave me alone!" I yelled and walked past him. I ran to my brother and grabbed his hand tightly, running alond side the EMTs who were pushing him. What had I done?! I wanted to cry, but I couldn't. I just couldn't feel any remorse for harming my parent's killer, my brother.
"Alyssa, we need to get you checked out" JJ said from behind me. I nodded and let myself be dragged away from my brother and over to another ambulance. I was sat in the open back of the ambulance while paramedics checked me over. When they were done one of them pulled the team off to the side.
"How are you feeling?" Spencer asked as he sat beside me. Apparently he had been designated to stay with me.
"Okay, I guess, kind of still in shock" I said to him, looking down at the ground.
"That was really good field work" He said cautiously, bracing himself for my reaction.
"Yeah, I guess. I didn't even know I had that in me" I said, leaning against him slightly. Instead of speaking he just put an arm around my waist and held me close. I closed my eyes and rested my head on his shoulder, trying to forget everything about today. I heard someone move towards us.
"We are leaving tomorrow at noon" I recognized the voice of Morgan say.
"Okay" Spencer said.
"Alyssa? Reid and JJ are going to take you home, okay?" Morgan said, this time to me. I opened my eyes and looked towards him, "What about Tommy?"
"He is going to the hospital. You probably won't be able to see him until at least tomorrow or the next day anyways."
The ride back to my place was a silent one.
"Do you want us to come in with you?" JJ asked me politely as she parked in my driveway.
"Sure, I don't really want to be alone right now" I said thankfully.
Spencer opened my door and helped me out and then the three of us went inside. The current time was 7pm.
"Do you guys want cookies, brownies, cupcakes, or pie?"
"Cookies, please" Spencer said, smiling.
"Cookies, too, please" JJ said.
I nodded, took off my jacket.
"Spencer, help me take all this junk off, please" I said, motioning to all of my protection detail stuff.
