Chapter 10
That evening Jessup came to the women's dorm, "Anna, come with me."
She was terrified that they knew she had been the one who took the picture of Charlie. She followed Jessup trying not to let her fear show. They walked to the chapel and once inside she saw a man she never seen before. He was wearing a Blue Hill policeman's uniform. His name tag read Patrolman L. Henninger. Anna didn't know what to think about this cop being here. Jessup didn't deal with the law. His justice was self served.
"Anna I would like you to meet your new husband." Jessup said as if he was introducing her to a new acquaintance.
There wasn't a wedding ceremony at this time. That would be saved for when they received their new child, one Fathered by Jacob Jessup. Anna wished with all her heart not to be part of this "perfect family"
Tuesday morning Hotch sat in Dale's kitchen. Dale and Pete listened as Hotch told them how to handle this afternoon.
"Do everything like you normally do. Do not change routine. We will wait for you at the station. If you are not back by 2:30 we will be prepared to come there. Pete, do not tell anyone about this. The fewer people who know about it the better."
They both agreed.
Anna saw the truck coming down the dirt road. She knew it was Dale; she waited on the steps of the meeting house. She was unable to get into the office to get more of the pictures. She was afraid this would stop them from looking into the deaths. This man Lou she was introduced to was a cop in Blue hill, Anna wondered if he could be under cover. But why would Jacob arrange for her to marry him? So many questions and Anna knew she couldn't ask them for fear that she would be exposed.
Dale stuck to her routine and Anna handed her a loaf of bread. Something in her eyes seemed apologetic. Dale wondered what that could mean. She told Anna, "See you next week." She waited until Anna walked up the steps to the meeting house before getting back in her pickup. She drove passed the chapel and as soon as she started down the dirt road a shot rang out. The bullet smashed the back window of Dale's truck, lodging in the back of Dale's head killing her instantly.
Anna heard the gun shot. She ran to the door of the meeting house just in time to see the truck veer off the road and slam into a tree, the horn blaring. She looked at the chapel and saw Russ Myer stand up on the roof, holding an automatic riffle.
Hotch, and the team waited for Dale to return. When the 2:30 deadline past Morgan gathered Pete and Lou Henninger together.
"We need to get over there, Agent Hotchner, and I won't take no for an answer this time!" Pete ranted.
JJ moved in to calm him down, "Pete I know you want to go get Dale. But I need you to understand barging in there will only cause her harm. You and I know they want us to do that. But we will take care of this. And do it with minimal loss of life. Please let us do our job."
"You better!" He pointed at Hotch. "You damn well better do it!" He went to his office and slammed the door.
