Chapter 14
Once the team was ready to call it an night there grabbed their things getting ready to go back to the only Motel in this town, I felt really bad for them so I had invited them to come and stay at the Fort, with Ryder, the twins and me I had the room. I had brought the Fort about 3 years ago on the out skirt of town; after a bit of remodeling it now consists of 12 bedrooms, a living room, play room for the twins, formal dining room, 6 bathrooms, a full basement fully equipped with the latest in entertainment equipment, a game room, bar as well being able to sleep 6 more people. I had a separate house built for Ryder about a 5 minute walk down a path to the left of the driveway; it has a 6 car garage as well as a storage area for motorcycles. The backyard is amazing with an in ground swimming pool and spa as well as a little pool house. I know, why do I need such a big house when it is just me and the twins, hello my family is a bunch of outlaw bikers and let's not forget I finally met my Mother's family which isn't small either. On the way back to the fort, I called Ryder and let her know that the team would be returning with me, she let me know that she would handle setting up rooms for the team and start heating up some food, I told her she didn't have to that, that I would take care of it when we got back she told me to be quite and hung up on me, I had to chuckle at her, I love her to pieces and don't know what I would have done with myself, she was the one who advised me to apply to the BAU.
After about a 25 minute drive the caravan of SUV's pulled up to a gate, Remy being the lead car, lowering her window punching in a code, the gate opens allowing the caravan to enter the property and closed behind the last car, as all 4 SUV's pulled to a stop side by side in the large carport to the right of the main house right before the garage. Remy parked and hopped out of her SUV and waited for the team to exit their vehicles, once the team had grabbed their go bags, we made our way to the front door which swung opened causing Remy to stop in her tracks, revealing Piney, "We gotta talk, but I see you have company so I be going." Piney said to me when he noticed the rest of the team standing behind me. "No Piney stay, you know the twins love to see you and hear stories of when I was running around raising hell as you call it. These of the members of my team and are her to help fine Ellie, Kenny and Able." Just saying the kid's names causes tightness in my chest and the guilt I feel comies creeping up threatening to consume me whole.
"Now come on lets go inside and I'll introduce you to the team," I said as I grab hold of his arm and lead him back into the house, I needed to know his take on what the sheriff had said about Clay being responsible for Donna's death, I saw the change in Clay and the club once John and my Dad were gone.
Once we were all in my living room, I turned to Piney and pointed to each member one by one, "This is SSA Aaron Hotchner and my Boss, this is SSA Dave Rossi, SSA Derek Morgan, SSA Jennifer Jareau and last but not least Dr. Spencer Reid, everyone this is Piney my Dad. I said with the biggest smile on my face because that is who Piney was he was my Dad he may of not been father of the year but he was the only father figure I had after my Dad and John Teller died, I still say there was something going on with Gemma and Clay way before John's death. Before anyone could speak you heard the sounds of little feet running down the hall towards the living room. Right before the twins appeared in the room running to Piney "G-Pa we missed you, tell us another story about Mommy and our Daddy when they were little." Monster had spoken for the both of them even at being only 4 going on 5 they can work anyone into doing what they want. "What am I not standing in the room?" Morgan asked and I had to giggle at the surprised look on the girls faces when they finally noticed the team was also in the room, they both let out a loud squeaking sound before jumping up and down and running over to the team to say their hello's Piney took this time to tell me he needed to speak to me in private. I told the team I was going to go and check on what rooms Ryder had put them all in and asked Piney to join me. Once we were no longer in ear shot of the Piney, I pulled Piney into one of the quest rooms.
"Before you speak I have to ask you a question and Piney I need the gods honest truth." I looked him in the eyes and let out the breath I didn't even know I was holding in, "Did the club have anything to do with Donna's death?" I didn't take my eyes off of him just searched his eyes for any hint or a reaction to my question, he let out a heavy sigh and looked me in the eye and said " Opie and his family were picked up in the middle of the night with bags in hand and no cuffs, they were held for 24 hours at some FBI office in Stockton, that bitch Stahl paid off a huge chuck of his financial problems, once Clay found this out he was convinced that Opie was a rat, Jax and myself fought him on it and as a club we voted to hear Opie out about what happened and what was said to the ATF bitch, you know Opie he isn't a rat, my sons no rat he did a nickel for the club without a word." I could see how angry he was and I knew in my heart that he was right, over the years Clay had gotten out of hand, and the money went to his heard as well as the power that having the gavel gave a person let alone the President of the Mother Charter. I reached out and touched his hand.
"Piney I have to tell my team, if Clay was behind Donna's death then we can concentrate on Wendy and finding the kids, they have to know that Donna's murder is unrelated to finding the kids, I promise they will not go after the club for this, they are my family as much as you are, they have my back and I have theirs, now let's get back down stairs and see what Ryder has made us to eat.
