Chapter 11

*on the plane*

Derek POV

Hotch: alright, when we land Cat, JJ and Reid will go to the crime scene…Derek, you, Trent and Emily will go to the morgue. Also, since Cat and Derek are from the area, you two will be leading

Cat: got it

JJ: nice *pat Cat's shoulder*

*at the station*

Gordinsky: hello Derek *shaking hands*

Derek: Gordinsky

Gordinsky: SSA Hotchner *shakes hand*

Hotch: Stan *shakes hand* let me introduce you to our new team members… SSA Trenton Hughes and SSA Catalina Williams

Trent: Trent, *extends hand*

Gordinsky: nice to meet you *shakes hand*

Cat: Cat *extends hand*

Gordinsky: *shakes hand* you look familiar…is Maria your mother?

Cat: yes *smiles*

Gordinsky: Little Catalina, my how you have grown…I remember when you and Derek were running around the neighborhood getting into stuff

Cat: yep, it's me

Gordinsky: well alright then, nice to see you again

Cat: same

Hotch: alright, Cat, you and the first group head out the crime scene…Derek, you and your group go to the morgue

Cat POV

*in the first truck*

Cat: damn *driving*

JJ: what's wrong?

Cat: nothing…. I haven't been home in a while, everything looks different *looking around*

JJ: oh

*a few minutes later they pull up to the crime scene*

JJ: ok that is definitely a school desk

Cat: yea, it looks like the ones we had when I was in school

Reid: *looking around* what's that cone?

Cat: *walking towards it* it says DUNCE on it

JJ: a Dunce cap?

Reid: yea, back in the day when a student acted out in class they were forced to stand in the corner and wear a Dunce cap

JJ: well that explains the school girl uniform

Cat: ok, so our UnSub killed her for acting out?

Reid: it looks like it… somehow school is involved

JJ: lets get back to the station with this

*at the station in the meeting room*

Cat: ok, we think that the UnSub is abducting these women off the street and forcing them into some type of reform school

Derek: how do you figure?

Reid: because our victim was found wearing a school girl uniform and we also found a Dunce cap nearby the desk

JJ: we think that she kept resisting the UnSub and whatever it was that he tried to enforce and he killed her for being disobedient to him

Gordinsky: and placed a Dunce cap near her?

Reid: yes, students who acted out in class were forced to wear the Dunce cap as a form of punishment

Hotch: what did you learn from the coroner?

Derek: she was abused…the coroner found bruises and slashes on the victim's backside

Emily: he said some of them appeared to come from a whip

Trent: and he thinks the bruises may have come from the UnSub hitting her

Cat: so our victim must have "disobeyed" before and got punished

Rossi: yea, but our UnSub got fed up with her constant rebellion and decided to punish her once and for all

Gordinsky: CSI said there was DNA found at the scene but we won't have any results until tomorrow

Hotch: alright it's getting late…lets find some food and head to the hotel

Derek: I know a place where we can get some good food

Cat: *glaring at Derek, knowing the place he's talking about*

JJ: alright…lead the way

Derek POV

*20mins later*

Reid: this isn't a restaurant

Derek: I know…but it has the best food in town and its free

Emily: free food? I'm in

Derek: *knocking*

Female voice: just a minute*opens the door* oh my gosh Derek! *hugs him*

Derek: hey momma *hugging back*

Fran: oh, you brought your team *looks at Cat* and Catalina *hugs her*

Cat: hey Momma Fran

Fran: *places hands on Cat's face* it's been so long since I've last seen you….come in, come in

Sarah: Ma, who's at the door *walking in* Derek! *hugs him*

Derek: hey sis *hugging back*

Sarah: *looking behind him* Cat?

Cat: hey Sarah

Sarah: CAT! *hugs her*

Desiree: *walking down the stairs* what the hell is with all the noise?

Derek: hello to you too

Desiree: big brother! *hugs him*

Sarah: Des, look who he brought with him *pointing to Cat*

Desiree: *staring in disbelief* Cat?

Cat: hey *smiling*

Desiree: CATALINA! *picks her up and spins her around in a hug*

Derek: hey, my hug wasn't that big

Desiree: well I see you all the time, I haven't seen Cat in forever

Fran: ok, ok, come in everyone, have a seat…you're just in time…I was just about to start dinner

*knocking*

Derek: *walking to the door* who's that *opens the door* Momma Maria?

Maria: Derek *hugs* my Derek…its been a while

Derek: I know *moving aside and letting her in*

Cat: hey mommy

Maria: Catalina *tearing up and hugging her* my Catalina…I've missed you

Cat: I've missed you too…I'm so sorry I haven't been home in a while

Maria: *holding Cat's face* that doesn't matter, you're here now…are you visiting?

Cat: no, remember I told you I got into the BAU?

Maria: yes, I remember now

Cat: yea *smiles* I'm here on case…Derek and I are actually on the same team

Des: awesome *hugs her again* congrats

Sarah: alright now bro…make things right

Fran: Maria, you're just in time too…can you help me with dinner?

Maria: of course *walks into the kitchen with Fran*

Sarah: *speaking to the team* do you all want to see old photos of Derek and Cat

JJ: oh yea

Emily: let me get my phone out now

Derek: no way, that's definitely going to give Reid the upper hand in our never ending prank war

Reid: oh now I really want to see them *laughing*

Cat: no you don't

Des: too late *coming back into the room with a box of photo albums*

*the team takes turn looking thru the different photo albums and find all kinds of pictures of Cat, Derek, Des and Sarah*

JJ: *laughing* ok why is Cat wearing a white dress and Derek wearing a suit?

Sarah: I remember that *taking the picture* we used to play house when we were younger and we always made Derek and Cat the married couple

Emily: *laughing* wow, Derek actually had hair

Reid: and a lot of it *snapping a picture*

Derek: alright now Pretty Boy, watch your back

Hotch: care to explain this one *holding up an embarrassing picture of Derek*

Derek: *snatching it away* it was my first bath!

Rossi: *laughing* I now have the mental image of a naked baby Derek permanently etched in my head

Trent: what's this one *holding up a picture of Cat*

Cat: oh gosh, *taking the photo* this was the day I got my braces off…I put on the flyest outfit I could find that day and I took so many pictures when I got home from the orthodontist

JJ: *looking at the picture* I remember the baggy sweatshirt days

Des: look at this one *holding up a picture of Derek and Cat at Cat's senior prom*

Cat: wow my dress was hideous

JJ: you were prom queen?

Rossi: are you surprised?

Trent: I'm not

Emily: is that a Jheri curl? *laughing*

Derek: hey, Jheri curls were the shit back in the day

Fran: *slapping the back of Derek's head* boy watch your mouth

Derek: sorry momma

Maria: *coming in the living room* dinner is ready…oh my gosh *looking at the prom picture* I remember this like it was yesterday…oh you should have seen her that day

Cat: Ma!

Maria: oh hush…anyways, she was running all around town getting ready…she had made a collage on how she wanted her hair, nails and make-up done…she was so excited Derek was coming home just for her

Cat: ok, lets come back to the present day…you said the food is ready *getting up and walking into the kitchen*

Maria: she's still acting the same? *speaking to Derek*

Derek: yea *looking down*

Maria: I don't know what's taking her so long but she'll come around…I just know it…alright everyone, lets eat

*the team sits down to a home cooked meal and looks at a more pictures, then everyone except Cat and Derek head back to the hotel for the night*

*after dinner*

Des POV

Des: hey Cat, can I talk to outside?

Cat: sure *following her to the front porch* what's up *sits on the stoop*

Des: *shutting door and takes a seat as well* what's up with you and my brother?

Cat: what are you talking about?

Des: look I know what happened that night, and I'm not condoning the fact that he cheated but come on Cat, ignoring him is not the answer

Cat: I'm not ignoring him

Des: oh really, talking to him about work related stuff doesn't count

Cat: we've talked about other things…even went out

Des: he told me about that, group events don't count

Cat: the picnic wasn't a group event

Des: yea but you still walked off…look, I'm not saying that you two should just go down to the courthouse and get married but you at least need to rebuild your friendship

Cat: …..you're right

Des: I know, this is why I was your best friend

Cat: was?

Des: yea, was…how long has it been since we talked?

Cat: ok *laughing* true *hugs her* but I still love you too Des

Des: mmhhmmm *hugs her* love you too sis

Fran POV

Derek: *walking into his mother's room* you wanted to talk

Fran: come in, sit down

Derek: *sits on her bed* what's wrong?

Fran: you tell me

Derek: huh?

Fran: why is Catalina still acting the same way she was right after you two broke up

Derek: I don't know…I guess she really does hate me

Fran: *grabs his hand* now you hush with all that foolishness…that girl does not hate you and you know it

Derek: Ma, I can't even get her to talk to me about non work related stuff for ten minutes…she shuts down every time

Fran: you need to break down that wall, may I remind you that although you tried reaching out to her for a few months, you still gave up

Derek: I know *looking down* but I hurt her so bad that night…you should have seen the hurt in her eyes that night…I've never been able to erase that look on her face from my mind

Fran: come here *patting the spot next to her*

Derek: *moving to that spot*

Fran: that's where you father used to lay…even when we had an argument, he would still lay in that spot and we would talk it out…no matter how bad the argument was we always talked it out

Derek: Ma

Fran: I'm not finished…you and Cat need to do the same…find a place you both love and talk it out…I will not let this go on any longer….fix it, do you understand me?

Derek: yes ma'am

Fran: alright, give me a hug. I know you need to get back to your team

Derek: *hugs Fran and kisses her cheek* alright Ma…I'll try to stop by after we solve this case

Fran: alright…did you get the box?

Derek: yes thank you…I have it with me now

Fran: good *blows him a kiss*, be safe

Derek: I will *walks out*

*the next day at the station*

Cat POV

Gordinsky: ok I have good news and bad news

Rossi: what's the good news

Gordinsky: we got the DNA results

JJ: and the bad?

Gordinsky: they're from two separate males, Tristan Light and Christian Light…brothers. And we have another body

Hotch: ok, Derek, you and Emily go to the crime scene…make sure it's the same guys…JJ, call Garcia and get an address on the brothers

JJ: on it *calls Garcia*

Hotch: alright, this ends today...we will get them…Cat, you and Trent get on the road and get ready for an address…Reid, you and Rossi get on the road as well in case we get two addresses

Cat: alright *heads out with the team*

Gordinsky: you think they'll be there?

Hotch: let's hope so…come on *heads out*

*in the car with Cat and Trent*

Trent: ok I just got the first address *shows her the address*

Cat: that scumbag lives down the street from my mother *speeds to the location*

*no one is there, the other team turns up empty as well*

Cat: what the hell *hitting hand on steering wheel*

Trent: calm down…we'll get them *answers phone* Hughes

JJ: hey, I have all of you on the line…Garcia just called…she just finished screening our UnSubs and found a reform school for boys that they went to

Rossi: is it still open?

JJ: no it was closed down years ago…its been a vacant school building for a while

Cat: text me address

JJ: she just sent it to everyone

Cat: *looking at the address* I'm the closest…I'm headed there now *turns around and heads to the abandoned school*

Rossi: we'll meet up with you

Derek: alright we're leaving the scene now

*everyone hangs up*

*at the abandoned school*

Cat: *noticing an empty black van* they're definitely here *whispering to Trent* text the team and let them know to get here now *draws gun and heads inside*

Trent: *whispering loudly* Cat! Wait for back up

Cat: no, I can't risk them hurting these women anymore *runs inside*

Trent: shit *runs after her*

*in the a vacant classroom*

Cat: Tristan Light…turn around and put your hands behind your back

Tristan: I don't think so *draws his own gun*

Cat: *shoots the gun out his hand and shoots his leg just as he almost pulls the trigger*

Trent: Cat *trying to find the room she's in*

Cat: *kneels down and handcuffs him*

*after handcuffing him she stands up and turns around and walks towards a dark corner of the room and is met with a blade stabbing her lower torso, she drops her gun*

Christian: you stupid bitch *still keeping the knife inside her while stepping out into the light* what have you done *removes knife* stupid, stupid bitch

Cat: *grabs her torso and gasps for air*

Christian: *picks up her gun* I could shoot you, but I won't….yet *hits her in the head, knocking her out and he stands over her*

*just as she hits the floor Trent runs in and shoots Christian down*

Derek POV

*the rest of the team arrives just as the shots Trent fired went off, and they run inside*

Trent: HELP! WE'RE IN HERE! GET 911!

Derek, JJ and Rossi: *runs to the sound of Trent's voice*

*Hotch, Emily, Reid and Gordinsky found the missing women in different classrooms…each tied to their desk, they are scared, bruised and crying but relieved*

*in the room with Cat*

Derek, JJ and Rossi: *looking at Cat laying face down*

JJ: oh no

Rossi: *speaking to radio* GET AN EMT UP HERE NOW!

Trent: I'm sorry…*crying beside her* she ran in here…I chased after her but I couldn't find what room she ran in

Derek: CAT! *runs to her* CAT! CAT, WAKE UP! COME ON CAT, BABY WAKE UP! *starts crying* SOMEONE GET AN AMBULANCE HERE NOW! *holds Cat in his arms* Hang on Cat, help is coming *starts rocking her in his arms* help is coming *lets his tears fall to her face*
