Disclaimed!
Aaron 13
Everyone eventually fell into an exhausted sleep spread out across the family room, the emotive and stressful day draining them of all energy, Leroy and Hiram dragged down blankets and pillows for them before retiring to their own room with Hannah, too worried to sleep, leaving the FBI to investigate overnight.
Morgan and Prentiss climbed out of their truck slamming the doors closed behind them as they headed up the porch steps to the house of the owner of the kindergarten.
"Hopefully this woman can give us something" Prentiss said as she knocked on the door of the modest size house.
"Just take comfort in the fact that this is different from any other case and that we have more time than usual" Morgan soothed his partner as the door opened "Marm I am Agent Derek Morgan from the FBI this is my partner Agent Prentiss could we please talk to you"
"Oh or course" Miss Jones said stepping back to allow the two agents into the living room "what is this about?"
"Have you heard about Aaron Berry's kidnapping?"
"I saw it on the news, I couldn't believe it he is such a little sweetie everyone in the kindergarten loves him, are there any leads on who took him? I cannot imagine what Rachel and Noah are going through"
"We have several lines of inquiry open, we came to ask about one of your employees that Noah said had been talking to Aaron in the back hallway of the kindergarten, Aaron said it was someone who worked there"
"The only male who works under me is the janitor Frank Kerry"
"What can you tell us about him? Anything odd about him? We believe that if he is our Un Sub he would have been unable to not pay attention to Aaron and you would have had to tell him to get back to work"
"He would have fitted in, but you may have felt that something didn't ring true about his story" Emily added
Sue Jones sat down at thought back carefully, making sure that she wasn't just imagining everything she had seen, but ever since she had hired Kerry she had felt uncomfortable in having him around the main room because his eyes followed the children, thinking back she knew he had been watching Aaron.
"Yes, thinking back he always did pay a lot of attention to the children, but it was always the group Aaron was with"
"We are going to need his address and record" Emily said glancing at Morgan who nodded as Sue jumped to her feet and hurried to her home study.
"This is good news Em" Morgan promised, standing as close to her as he dared in witnesses house, but knowing how much child cases got to her "Now baby girl can find out everything there is to do with him"
Emily smiled at Derek as Sue returned and handed over some printed papers, after assuring her that he was still on a suspect and that it might not come to anything the partners left, calling Hotch to tell him that they were going to check out the address from Sue's information.
Hotch snapped his phone closed and turned back to JJ and Reid "Morgan and Prentiss are checking out some information they got from the kindergarten owner, get hold of Garcia we need her to find everything she can about a Frank Kerry"
JJ opened her phone and called Garcia on speaker phone.
"Speak" came the tech analysts over the phone.
"Garcia" Hotch started
"Yes sir"
"We need you to find everything you can about a Frank Kerry"
"On it" Garcia said typing coming through the phone "ok this is strange, Frank Kerry only exists in two databases and the dates are wrong, a Frank Kerry lived in Lima Ohio but he died fifty years ago, but a criminal record check was run on the same name with the same national insurance 4 months ago and the age was reported as 23"
"So it's an assumed identity?" JJ asked
"Yep, all it takes is some basic knowledge of hacking and the basic knowledge behind the person whose identity you are assuming" Garcia answered "hackers assume identities all the time, especially if they are committing fraud"
"Does he have a driving licence?" Reid asked from the incident board
"Nope" Garcia "why?"
"Running through ever possible scenario for how he got Aaron away he must have had transportation and that means a car, anything else in this neighbourhood would have stood out, get hold of Sue Jones and find out if he ever drove a car to work"
Rossi went off to Sue Jones's again and found out the details for a brown sedan that Kerry had been driving to work, returning to the house the team collected together and conference called Garcia in to rehash everything they knew.
"Where is everyone?" Emily asked as they entered the dining room.
"The friends are passed out in the living room, Rachel and Noah are upstairs, and Rachel is well frantic"JJ said gently"Hiram, Leroy and Hannah are flittering around, at a loss of what to do"
"Ok what do we know?" Hotch interrupted, not because he didn't care but because he wanted to fix the problem rather than obsess about it.
"Frank Kerry is working under an assumed name, in which he got a job at the kindergarten where his son attends, we know of at least one instance in which he isolated Aaron to take him, and possibly a second when Aaron had that bad dream and the window was left open" Emily started
"But he is driving a brown sedan" Reid interrupted
"Reid you are sort of obsessed with the car" Rossi said
"He doesn't have a licence, everything about this un sub screams control, he waited months to get his son, he waited till they were all spread out and distracted, the only two blips are his rape of Rachel in the first place, and not having a licence if he is driving" Reid explained turning back to the board "this tells us two things, he has a licence under his own name and Rachel was a specific target, which means she knows who he is"
"I know my rapist?" Rachel whispered from the doorway, clutching a glass "I came down for water" she explained hoarsely testament to her crying. Puck appeared behind her, his own eyes bloodshot and red wrapping himself around her he gained comfort from the physical touch of his fiancée.
"It seems likely considering all the facts" Reid told the teenage mother "you were a target, you rape was in public and carried the risk of any passers by seeing as your friend had simply forgotten to pick you up. Nothing else this man has done screams that he is disorganised which means that this is personal, because it is the only way that he would have taken such risks and allowed himself to snap when he saw you that night is because he had to"
"The thing I cannot understand is how he found out" Emily said from next to Morgan "I know you said it became general knowledge but how? I know that in small towns news travels fast but this seems like ridiculous, it's not like an announcement was put in the local paper"
"No but it was announced somewhere else" Puck said moving over to one of the laptops and pulling up Jacob Ben-Israel's blog "this guy is obsessed with Rach, we guessed that Santana or Quinn told him, and he immediately posted it on his blog"
"So everyone in school would have read this?" JJ asked leaning over the laptop reading the post.
"From the backlash I got I would assume so" Rachel said wearily sinking into a chair.
"This guy is obsessed with her" Garcia said over the webcam on another laptop, having started to read past blogs.
"Garcia can you check everyone who has logged into this blog? IP addresses are unique aren't they?" Hotch asked "I need you to check anyone who continually read everything, our un sub would have read everything hundreds of times"
"Are we sure this Jacob isn't our un sub?"
"He's harmless, annoying but harmless" Rachel said wearily
"Sir I have three IP addresses that continually pop up" Garcia reported "but it will take me a while to back track them to their source"
"Get on it" Hotch ordered the blonde who said will do and turned off to start her search "the rest of us will get on the car, there must be somewhere a picture of that car"
Rachel and Puck got back to their feet and headed towards the family room, where Finn Matt and Mike remained awake talking quietly in the corner.
"Hi" they all said gently to the scared parents, both of them dead looking the eyes as they embraced the numbness after hours of crying had left them exhausted but unable to sleep.
Gleeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
"Oh hi" Quinn said in surprise opening her front door, phone clenched in one hand she stared at her friend in surprise "what's up?"
"Oh are you still thinking about that thing in the diner? Oh who cares I meet this amazing guy" Santana gushed pushing her way in and dragging Quinn into the living room to have a gossip "I need to tell you everything"
"So this guy just sat down at the table and you told him everything?" Quinn asked in disbelief
"Well yeah, that's why I am glad that you left me" Santana smirked
"You know that is stupid right?" Quinn said intently "you aren't supposed to tell strangers about your entire life"
"Oh please" Santana scoffed sitting back into the cushions "put a film on I'm bored"
Gleeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
"Quinn texted me" Finn said quietly to Rachel as her fiancée and son's uncles talked beside them "she is really sorry and saw about Aaron on the news, she just wants to say sorry and be here, she realises she's been an idiot and wants to make up for it"
"She wants to come over?" Rachel asked trying to concentrate on problem that had meant little to her right now.
"Yeah but wants to check that it is ok with you" Finn said toying with his phone
"You miss her" Rachel said with a smile "if you want her to come over that's fine, I cannot imagine that even she would be cruel enough to create more problems at the moment"
"Thank you" Finn said texting the blonde back, who texted that she was on her way to the house and was let in by Finn, coming to sit down next to the group who was awake, smiling sadly at the them all.
"Rachel I'm so sorry" she whispered
"I know" Rachel replied her lips pressed together in a tight line "I don't really want to hash that out right now"
"Oh yes...I'm sorry" Quinn mumbled, kicking herself for bringing everything up when Rachel was going through hell, she couldn't really relate but giving away her daughter had almost killed her, she couldn't imagine what it was like to have your child taken away from you by force.
"Come on" Finn said slipping a hand under the blondes elbow to pull her into the kitchen and tell her everything about what had happened.
"Oh that is awful" Quinn said clasping a hand over her mouth as her eyes filled with tears "poor Rachel". Finn took the small blonde in to his arms and held her close as she sobbed into his shoulder, the two of them staying like that as they waited in the dark kitchen, listening to the bustling of the FBI in the dining room, only parting as the doorbell rang out and they heard Puck get to his feet to open it.
"Ma?" he asked stunned at the women on the door step, looking back he saw Rachel's scared and petrified face framed in the family room doorway "what the hell are you doing here? What part of leave me alone did you not get?" he demanded.
"Noah..." she started her eyes wide with emotion
"No" Puck said harshly "you have sat at home and thought everything through and decided that you feel bad, Ma I can't be bothered you lost me" he stated closing the door in her face as the tears began to fall. Turning back to Rachel who had hurried out of the doorway and into the kitchen, tears falling down her face as she realised that Puck had been hiding something from her, knowing she was being silly but not caring right now.
Quinn hurried to Rachel's side as she saw the tears and held her tight as Rachel's tears tracked down the well worn path on her cheeks, Quinn held her close and soothed her as best as she could, not saying anything but just letting her cry it out as Puck entered the kitchen.
Letting Puck take over in the comforting Quinn left them alone and entered the foyer where Finn and mike were standing, Mike throwing her a glare but allowing her to slip into the circle of Finn's arms without comment "I'm not sure how much more of this they can handle" she fretted as her phone went off. Pulling it out she scoffed and rolled her eyes "bloody Santana, I swear that girl is an idiot"
"What she do now?" Matt asked, talking to his ex for the first time in half a year.
"She met this guy in the diner after we had a fight and told him everything; she's even slept with him already! She's being stupid"
"What do you mean everything?" asked Mike slowly as Rachel's mobile rang, Rachel bolting from the kitchen to answer it.
"Where is my son!" she yelled down the phone as soon as she saw the same unrecognised number.
"You didn't really raise him right, I'm teaching him a lesson in isolation at the moment" came the smooth voice.
"Give him back" Rachel sobbed "give him back to us"
"Us? there shouldn't be an us! you belong to me, your whore of 'fiancée' will never see my son again, and if you want to you are going to come to me"
Puck eyes closed as his past was dragged up, thinking he would never be free of the stupid reputation of his past, now it was being used to justify him not having his son.
"Come to you?" asked Rachel prompted by Reid "you want me?" she added with a revolted look at the piece of paper in Reid's hand.
"You'll find to, I don't think you have squirmed enough yet" he cackled before hanging up again.
They stood around in a circle of defeat, but Mike grabbed Quinn's arm and turned her roughly to him "what do you mean everything?" he demanded again.
"Well about the drama in school and Aaron and Rachel" Quinn stammered, surprised everyone was listening to her intently.
"This girl has been answering questions about Rachel and Aaron? When did she meet him?" Hotch asked intently.
"Well today, or rather yesterday" Quinn answered "Santana meet him in the diner"
"Just before Aaron was taken, get this Santana here now" Hotch ordered.
