Saviors- Chapter 11
Dumb Luck
"...................an update! YAY! And I bet ur all wondering where gideon went.........i know I am! Hehe. Please R&R!"
When the team met up again at the BAU,things had gotten intense. Working on a case so close to the team had a few drawbacks- like wanting revenge, having a bias, and not being able to fully concentrate. As the team tried their best to have a clear mind as they worked, Hotch looked around the room- realizing some one was missing.
"Where' Gideon?" he asked. The team looked up at Hotch, and then around the room.
"Yeah.........that's a good question, sir." JJ said.
"Maybe he's with Garcia?" Prentiss suggested. Morgan shook his head.
"I doubt that. If you were here before Tobias, and when Elle was still here, you'd understand. Well, even after that, I guess." Morgan explained.
"What do you mean by that?" Prentiss asked.
"I mean that Gideon was Reid's mentor. And Reid never had a father figure.......until he met Gideon. If Reid ever got in danger, he would take it personally."
"Even despite the fact that he left him?" Prentiss questioned. "What father-figure would leave the boy he thought of as his son?" Prentiss added. The team looked at her curiously, and she rolled her eyes. "Come on! I hear you guys talk about him sometimes, and even if I was here when he was, he didn't stay long enough for me to get to know him. I can't judge him, but you guys can. I'm just saying what I hear you guys say."
"I am sorry I left him like that, but I had to. And Morgan's right- I am taking this personally." a voice said from the doorway.
"I'm sorry, Gideon. I didn't mean to offend you-" Prentiss apologized, but Gideon waved his hand dismissively.
"You don't have to apologize. I used to be a profiler, too. You were trained to think that way.
"And I was with my son- in the hospital. I'm sorry I didn't give you more notice, but I did try to call you. None of your phones were working,though. I'm guessing you were in a dead zone." Gideon explained.
"What happened to your son?" JJ asked- her mind straying to what she would do if Henry ever ended up in the hospital.
"He broke his leg playing football with some friends for a charity event. He asked me to be there, and I agreed."
"Gosh, I don't know what I'd do if Henry ever broke his leg playing sports." JJ mused out loud.
"You'd probably banned him from that sport." JJ glared at her, and Prentiss put her hands up as defense. "Hey! You can't help it! It's a mother's instincts to want to protect her son!" Morgan smirked at that- finding their argument funny.
"You have a son now?" Gideon asked. JJ nodded. 'Who's the father?"
"Will LaMontange. From the case in New Orleans. And yes, we had a son." JJ explained-forgetting Gideon didn't know about that.
"Married, I presume?"
"Yes- a few months now." JJ nodded.
"Good."
"Okay, as glad as I am that you guys are catching up, I think that we should focus on the case now." Hotch ordered.
"Sir, we have a visitor." Garcia said at the doorway. "I think you all will want to see this." Hotch nodded, and the team stood up and followed Garcia to the interrogation room.
"My God." JJ whispered.
"That's definitely her." Prentiss said- looking at Rossi.
"Hotch- can I do the interrogation?" Morgan asked. Hotch was about to protest, but Gideon cut him off.
"I think that's a good idea. Morgan was held by her-she'll be intimidated by him- or at least disappointed he's alive. And by sending Morgan in, you and I BOTH know that he'll get the answers we need no matter what. He's just as close to Reid as the rest of us, but Reid confides in him more."
"Reid's like a brother to me man, and you know I'll be damn hard on her, and that's what you need right now. A tough guy." Morgan agreed.
"Fine. At the very least, she'll have some trust in him due to their time together, and more likely to talk. Go on, Morgan." Hotch agreed. With that, Morgan headed to the interrogation room.
"Damn. I hate thinking the only reason she's here is because she turned herself in." Prentiss mumbled.
"That itself was pure dumb luck. And she won't go down without getting her revenge. I want to know why she did this. If our profile's right, then she wouldn't have done this." Gideon mused.
"Well, for now I'm just worried about having Morgan interrogate. " Hotch said. "I just hope he doesn't take things too personally." he added- barely audibly.
"This should be interesting." JJ said. They all nodded. Once they could see Morgan through the one-way glass, the quieted down- all of them ready to intervene if things went awry............
"...........oh.............hehe. Im mean! Cliffie! Well, I hate writing short chaps, but this is the only time ill get today to update, so yeah. And I must apologize for the lame excuse for Gideon's disappearance, when in reality it was because I forgot about him. Please R&R!"
