Hello! I just got done writing this chapter today! I hope to update at least a few more times before this weekend is up. Hope you enjoy, please review :)


Hotch was quite the driver to say the least. He must have took an aggressive driving course or something because that man can sure drive.

While tiring to figure out how to get out of the parking lot he managed to miss the "hey slow down there's a big bump coming up soon" sign. He sped over the whole thing at a super fast speed, causing tiny me to nearly fly up and out of my belt, hitting my head on the ceiling.

"Ouch, could you please slow down? I don't appreciate being thrown every which way." I say to Hotch as I try to rub my head to make the headache go away

"Sorry Ali." He mumbled as he slowed down noticeably.

"You are lucky Morgan isn't driving, you'd be all over the place." Emily told me.

"Looks like I made the right choose." I say.

"The jet is leaving in a little less than 5 hours. Anything you'd like to do before you leave?" JJ asked gently.

"As much as I do not want to go back to that house, I'm going to need to get some things." I say, my voice obviously shaking.

"We are going to be here for you Al's, I promise that we won't let you do this alone." Emily said to me soothingly.

I offer a small smile and look out the window. I watched the cars zoom by in the lane next to us. Morgan and the others were still following behind us.

We drove for about twenty five minutes before we reached the house. Hotch pulled into the driveway and stopped the SUV.

"You ready Al's?" Emily asked as she placed her hand on my knee. I jumped at her touch, must haven't been paying attention. I took a deep breath and said

"Yeah, I guess."

"We will be right behind you." JJ reassured me.

We all got out of the SUV and walked up the stone pathway. I stepped up on the front porch and grabbed the key from it's hiding place. My hands shook as I tried to put the key into the lock.

Spencer stepped up from behind me and took the key gently from my hand. He put the key into the lock and the lock clicked open.

I looked inside of my living room, the chair that Jason always sat in was in front of the TV. I felt my legs frozen in place, I felt my heart rate increase.

Suddenly I found myself in the kitchen preparing dinner late at night. I'm draining some type of noodles for spaghetti. I haven't ate since the night before last. The aroma of the freshly steamed pasta filled my nose. I could practically taste it. I looked around and saw that Jason wasn't in his chair.

I grabbed a piece of the pasta and quickly shoved it in my mouth. I took in its delectable flavor, it had been so long since I had hot food. I took another noodle and chewed it up.

Jason came storming in smelling of alcohol and stale cigarette smoke. He must have been spying on me. My eyes widened in fear as he stormed closer to me.

Instead of his voice I heard JJ's voice calling out to me. "Alison, honey, you are safe, no ones going to hurt you."

The realization that this was a flashback hit me. I found myself back in the living room, with Hotch, Emily, Reid, and JJ.

I somehow managed to get on the couch, Emily and JJ were sitting down next to me and Hotch and Spencer were standing up. They all had a look of worry plastered on their faces.

I still was breathing heavily and had a piercing headache. I rest my elbows on my knees and hold my head in my hands and close my eyes.

"Why does this have to happen to me?" I say to no one in particular.

The rest of the team walked though the front door. I jumped up quickly and pulled everything together.

"Let's go get something's from my room." I say pulling JJ and Emily around behind me.

I lead them down the hallway and at the end of the hall where my room is. I open the door and go into my room.

My room was simple; painted white, a small mattress in the corner of the room, one dresser, and one closet. No posters, no pictures, nothing in plain sight.

"Well here's my room." I say to the women.

They look around and seem to be in awe that there's much to my room.

I grab a huge black duffle bag from my closet and start going through my shirts to determine what ones I should take. I decided on all the ones I got from school, a few solid color V necks, and all my tank tops.

I grab the step stool sitting at the bottom of the closet and stand up on it. I felt around the edge of the doorframe.

"Bingo." I say to myself as I pull out a Swiss Army knife.

JJ and Emily are now observing me with a look of confusion on their face.

"You see when I got like gifts I had to smuggle them in or they'd be destroyed and getting caught would mean the pole." I explain

"So I made a compartment in the floor boards." I continue.

I go over to my door and count to the boards of where my stash was hidden. I walk over to the board directly under my window. I flip open the knife and pry open the board. It pops up and I put my fingers underneath it. I carefully remove the board and see my goodies.

JJ and Emily come and look. I reach in and pull out a book, a cookie tin, a grey sweater in a ziplock bag and a photo album.

"It's very 007 of you to smuggle this all in." Emily said.

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure 007 never got caught. Once I got caught trying to sneak in a book. Let's just say it made me consider getting rid of everything." I say.

I gathered everything and threw it inside of my bag. I went over to the wooden dresser with my pants and shoes inside. I emptied the entire drawer and threw its contents into the bag as well.

"I think that's everything." I say as I run though my mental checklist.

"Okay, I'll tell Morgan to grab that bag, it's probably too heavy for any of us." JJ told me.

We all walked out to the living room where the rest of the team was standing.

"Morgan please go get Ali's black duffle bag in her room down the hallway." Emily told him.

"Sure thing princess." He said as he walked past her. She playfully swatted him on his arm.

"I need to get out of here." I hear myself say as I make my way to the front door.

I hear footsteps behind me, I assume it's Emily or JJ but I'm surprised that it's Rossi.
