Chapter 14
AN: Now that Hotch knows about Jack's abuse, Mrs. Havens will probably be fired or face punishment for what she did. Even if he doesn't work investigations anymore, he'd still do pretty much anything for Jack. How much has life changed for the BAU since Hotch left?
"Is everything alright, boys?" Lila asked when Aaron and Jack came back down the stairs.
"I have two FBI agents in my home because of you, and you're asking if everything is alright?" Hotch questioned furiously.
"Hotch, the rest of the team just arrived at our hotel. I know we normally wouldn't get personally involved with someone in your position…but I'm sure they'd love to catch up" Morgan mentioned.
"Are you sure they'd be okay breaking protocol over me?" Hotch questioned.
"What's going on Aaron?" Lila begged.
"These are members of my old FBI team," Hotch told her.
"Just to be warned though, the others don't know that it's you and Jack" Morgan warned them.
"By the way, I'm getting another God-child" Reid commented, cracking a smile.
"Boy or girl?" Hotch asked.
"They haven't found out yet," Reid told him.
"I should have known J.J would have a third kid eventually" Hotch commented.
"This one is actually her fourth, her daughter Elizabeth just turned two" Reid informed him.
"I wish I could've known" Hotch replied, realizing just how much he had missed in only a few years.
"We'll catch you up with everyone else over dinner" Morgan promised.
"Aren't you guys supposed to be investigating?" Lila called in.
"Yes, Miss Jorgen, let's begin with descriptions of the three runaway teens you helped earlier today, what did they look like? What do you remember them wearing?" Reid questioned.
"Tina Marsden was tall, thin, she had really high cheekbones. Long blonde hair and light blue eyes. I think she was wearing a sweat-shirt and a pair of baggy jeans, I didn't get a look at her shoes" Lila told them.
"What about the others?" Morgan asked.
"Sofia Durbin had a pixie cut, dyed pink. I think she had hazel eyes, and she was a bit shorter and chubbier than Tina. She had a tongue piercing and some tattoos between her fingers…I couldn't get a good look at what they were. She was wearing a band t-shirt…I think My Chemical Romance…I don't remember for sure though, and a short red skirt and fishnet stockings…. both the girls were wearing the same bright red lipstick" Lila admitted.
"And finally, do you recall Troy Gunner's physical description?" Reid asked.
"He was tall, a bit muscular…. he had a tan like he had been to a beach recently. He had blond hair in a pony-tail, I didn't pay attention to his eyes but they were probably brown. He was shirtless and wearing a pair of swim shorts" she explained.
"Were you aware that Tina Marsden and Sofia Durbin were found dead just off Pine Oak trail this afternoon?" Morgan questioned.
"Lila, what did you do to those girls?" Hotch asked in disbelief.
"I didn't do anything to them" Lila swore.
"Miss, they were spotted on the trail with you" Morgan replied.
"That doesn't prove anything" Lila insisted.
"It doesn't, but it does seem odd that they died during the time they would've been with you," Morgan remarked.
"I promise, I didn't stab them" Lila claimed.
"According to Troy Gunner, you did" Reid interrupted.
"Why would you talk to him?" Lila asked.
"As part of our investigation, he's in the hospital as we speak" Morgan informed her.
"Will he be alright?" Lila asked.
"We're not sure yet, do you have any way to explain yourself?" Morgan questioned.
"Lila, we're finished" Hotch commented, furious at everything he was hearing.
