"Trent, will you please stop trying to pull her any closer before I decide to murder you because it's starting to drive me nuts?" Jessie said glaring at him across the table between them. "I hate you holding her like that. You aren't married to her yet golly and you won't have a chance to if I decide to kill you first if you pull her any closer."
"Hey it's not that bad." He said "I'm just holding her close Jessie not making out with her or doing anything inappropriate you know. I'm not like the social butterflies in hall who like making out in the public like some of the cheerleaders do and stuff which drives me crazy. "
"I agree!" Cheer Britt said "The caption of the football team and the caption of the cheerleading squad do it all the time and trust me it is disgusting to watch. They look like they are like trying to eat each other's faces off and it's just so gross. I surprised they both don't have her make up smeared all over their face after they do that kind of stuff."
Everyone laughed but had to agree with her it wasn't right or appropriate.
"Yeah but still Trent, you're holding her way too close for comfort right now you idiot!" She retorted standing up leaning across the table glaring at him as if daring him to reply to her words. "Don't argue with me and let her go before I decide to hit you."
Trent had an arm around my waist and we were like Siamese twins with how close we were sitting to each other. I was practically sitting on his lap.
"Excuse me, Jessie if you don't mind, sorry to interrupt your tirade, but he's just holding me but not in a bad way at all. Also as if you didn't notice I was just about to call for a vote anyway so sit down so we can get it over with or are we going to sit here all day waiting for it." I said and then continued where I had left off. "All in favor of excluding Smiley aka Derek from The HSR's, raise your hand." Kyle counted and wrote down the number." All opposed," Only three hands were raised. "Smiley is no longer a member of The High School Rejects clique at Sky View High School. Though we still have to be nice to him he is not to be told of get together's or invited to them and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You all get the picture. If you don't ask Kyle for a record of my normal stupid non-existing speech thing I do on a daily basis."
"I want one!" Nutcase Kyle and Crazy Kyle called out in unison suddenly.
The other HSR's laughed at their stupid answer when they knew there was no paper to get.
Tori smiled and lean back in her seat, "Boy I'm glad to finally be rid of Smiley and for good this time. I still can't believe he did that to me of all things. It was just so cruel and so unlike him to do that. I didn't think he could be that mean to anyone especially not one of us since he was one of us. He seemed so nice to us the rest of the time but that night I don't know what got into him.. Why was he so mean that night? I mean we voted for him to get him on the student counsel but he lost big time because he was one of us at that time even if a lot of people knew and liked him."
"Well, he knew this would happen, because I warned him when he started being all high and mighty I better then you." I said. "We don't allow that kind of behavior in our group and he knew it. It's kind of a no brainier after we kicked Jordan out last year for what she did to me and Logan. He now thinks he's better then us but he doesn't have what we have a whole group of true friends."
"Well the handicapped girl he went with, I could have understood why he went with her and I would have handled it. Sharing him with her for the night would have been fine with me but not the other two girls he ended up with." Tori said shaking her head "Why didn't he just say he all ready had a date to the girl's choice dance instead of doing what he did? I would have understood if he would have just told me about it."
We all shrugged not sure why he had done what he did but he was the only one who did and wasn't saying. We had voted on kicking Smiley out of the clique because of what he had done to Tori at the girl's choice dance which was the worst kind of behavior possible. He had given her a fake address and then showed up at the dance with two other girls and left with two others. Rule of acceptance was shattered with his cruel and unacceptable behavior to Tori. It was a rude and unkind thing. Like the phone call I got one night from a guy pretending to ask me out. I knew that what he did was low especially when I could hear laughter in the background. I told him he was sick and this was lower then low. My last words to him when I knew what was going on were "Get a life!" It wasn't a funny joke.
I decided it was time to change the subject. "Hey, that reminds me. Did you hear of that guy who rapped his order to at IHOP to the waitress and was arrested for it? It reminds me of the shirt my brother wears sometimes." I laughed "Stupidity is not a crime you are free to go. It's so funny what people get arrested for these days. It's like stupid things that they do for kicks are crimes now days. I mean he was just being a kid and having a bit of fun according to his friends who were with him that day. It's like the kids that rapped their order at the drive-thru at a McDonald's around the corner from where they lived. They got tickets for it too. Isn't that just the dumbest thing to get in trouble for? If someone raps something just laugh about it don't call the cops on them. If the waitress didn't understand what he was ordering she could ask for an interpretation after he was finished."
Reid, JJ, and Gideon watched this play out with interest. Hotch was more interested with a small boy standing by the door to the lunch room watching us. He had been watching us for several weeks now. Hotch hadn't mentioned him to us in case we all jumped to conclusions which we seemed to do a lot lately when they mentioned someone, anyone, at our school that wasn't a member of our group.
Jessie suddenly had noticed him too. "Guess what Danni, I hate to tell you this, but it looks like your handicapped stalkers back again for the, what is it, the fiftieth time. He didn't seem to learn his lesson last time we told him to leave you alone. Maybe we should send Big Josh after him again since he's scared of him and left you alone for at least a month last year when Big Josh went for him."
I turned to see him watching us in the doorway and groaned unhappily. "Why can't he get the hint that I don't like him at all? I don't want him hanging around us at all you know. Be nice to him one time and he latches on to you like a leach. Big Josh told him he'd throw him in his locker dead with all the gory details which our ears are too delicate to hear. Knowing Josh the way we do, we don't want to know. Seriously remember how he told off Nick when he was stalking Jessie last trimester? We all heard him because we were all in here and I hate when people use that kind of language. At the time he didn't care as long as Nick just finally left Jessie alone because he was just making her paranoid. I didn't even tell him off because he apologized after Nick took off like a lost puppy with his tail between his legs."
"I'll take care of him." Trent squeezed my shoulder and left chasing the boy down the hall.
Fifteen minutes later he was back with the boy's notebook in his hands looking angry.
"Look at this; Willy's been spying on Danni, Jessie, Kyle, and Mandy." He threw the notebook on to the table. We read things we had done several weeks ago.
"Willy's been spying on us, but he couldn't be the kidnapper." I said, "He too small, the kidnapper was a lot bigger and stronger than him and us. Not to mention Willy's mentally unstable so he isn't smart enough to come up with this kind of a plan and carry it out correctly. Jessie and Mandy both could over power him easily. I could too. None of us could over power the guy who took us."
Hotch looked at the notebook and said, "He might not be the master mind but he might be worth looking into." Hotch left and found Willy and took him for questioning leaving Morgan to keep an eye on Jessie for the day.
Willy finally couldn't stand it much longer anymore sitting in the interrogation room alone with Hotch, "Can I please call my dad?" He begged for the eighth time sense he had been brought in for questioning. He was shaking from how scared he was in the situation.
"A lawyer is the only person you can call," Hotch said. "Or if you can't afford one the state can provide you with one."
"My dad can get me one," He said still begging. "He works with lawyers all the time. He is a lawyer himself. He can come in and represent me or he'll send one of the ones he works with to do it for him."
Hotch finally allowed him to call his dad to ask for a lawyer and tell him what was happening.
Fifteen minutes after Willy made the call and all the HSR's walked in with us I had a Wendy's bag in my hand in it was a few hamburgers for me, Jessi, and Mandy since the HSR's put together a few dollars for us to at least get something s we would eat. It was lunchtime and we left the school even though we should have stayed.
"I hoped he confesses to being involved," Tori said. "Why else would he be spying on you all if he's not involved in your kidnapping?"
JJ shrugged, "I still think you should have stayed at school and let Hotch handle this. Oh well at least you aren't missing any classes just your lunchtime. I'll go see if he has said anything useful about his involvement in your kidnapping."
I pulled out the burgers as we waited hoping to hear that they had some kind of clue to who the master mind was behind our kidnapping and that he would be caught immediately. After a minute or two of waiting after we finished our lunch a man in a black suit got off the elevator and walked right past us without really even looking at us.
"Oh no, he's got a lawyer." I said. "Or his guardian got one for him. What do we do now?"
"Um, follow the lawyer." Jessie suggested and we all agreed to do just that and try to hinder him from getting to Willy before we got the information we so desperately needed to get.
We ran after the lawyer and ran into JJ who stopped us from chasing the lawyer down and stopping him. "No confession and that lawyers in there now but…"
"Need this," Trent interrupted handing her the notebook Willy had dropped when Trent came after him. "Hotch forgot to grab it when he went after Willy and found him hiding in a boys bathroom. How dumb is that? Who at our age would hide in a boy's bathroom? A five year old would hide in there but we aren't little kids anymore."
JJ quickly called Hotch who came out and got the notebook.
"Can we watch the interrogation please?" Jessie asked.
JJ remembered the last time the HSR's had watched a person being interrogated. "Last time you weren't quiet at all."
"What?" Mandy said confused.
"She means us." Kyle said.
"We'll be quiet this time sense the girls are back." Trent said pulling me closer to him gently.
She let us in to the glass where we could see them interrogating Willy who looked still terrified even with the lawyer sitting next to him.
"My client is my son and is obviously innocent because there is no proof and he doesn't know anything about any kidnapping." The lawyer who had turned out to be his dad said.
"This is my proof." Hotch held up the notebook and slapped it down on the table top. "Sense those three started going back to school he's either following one or all of them or their friend who was almost kidnapped. Why were you spying on them all William?"
"You don't have to answer that."
"It's okay Dad because I'm innocent. Someone called me about a week before they disappeared and offered me fifty dollars a day to help him. I agreed because you know I could use fifty buck. My job was to make sure a door was locked; I think it was so they couldn't escape while he was gone. I just had to make sure a room was locked which I thought was strange. I didn't know what was in there or even care. I didn't ask either because part of the job was to not ask questions at all. He said if he thought I needed the information he'd give it to me. Well, the day I was sick they got away."
"So you did help kidnap us," Jessie whispered. "Well actually more like help hold us against our will."
"He wasn't too happy that they had escaped and Danielle was rescued but said it wasn't my fault. I told him I didn't want to be part of this anymore since I found out I what was really going on. He offered my one hundred dollars a day just to watch them and write down their activities. I've been doing that everyday sense then. He hasn't really contacted me other then the two phone calls much he's only paying me by mail but no return address or stamp so he just drops it off at night but I've never seen him do it either."
"What's his name?" Hotch asked
"He told me I could call him WM." Willy dropped his head. "I never really meant to hurt anyone besides I love Danielle. I couldn't do a thing to hurt her."
I rolled my eyes and made a face. "He is defiantly my stalker."
"WM," Reid said startling us all, "That can mean thousands of things. It could be a guy or girl using a voice changer or something."
"It isn't a girl Reid. He's much too big to be a girl." I said.
Reid continued. "He must have changed license plates on his car sense we can't find his car."
"It could mean weird monster. Or even better weird maniac." Crazy Kyle said.
"So we still are going to be killed by a weird manic known as WM!" Mandy shouted. "Besides Willy doesn't really like Danni, he nothing but her stalker. She was just nice to him once and he translated that into she loves me. Oh golly I'm not even that dumb anymore. I didn't think anyone was until I met Willy who was following her around like a lost puppy until she was completely paranoid. What's his problem?"
"He said I loved him because I said Hi to him once in the lunch line because I'm just a nice person and kids were teasing him and I told them to stop. I learned that was a big mistake in a hurry." I groaned. "Then he wouldn't just leave me alone and started mentioning marriage. That was a bit overboard not to mention freaky."
"And no you aren't going to be killed by WM, whoever that is." Gideon said interrupting us. "We still owe you a lot more then we can repay at one time."
