"And I do not want any kind of bland joke on the trip," Hotch punctuated every word, making the boys freeze.

"Hotch, do not be hard on them. Just relax! "I said, drawing smiles from my boys.

With a sigh we got into the car and left.

A little more than 2 hours ago, I heard complaints from the car:

"Dad... We arrived?" Reid asked. "We will arrive in 16 hours," Hotch said with a laugh.

"All this?" Reid snorted.

"I thought you knew!" I said and he groaned in disgust.

"we need to get some gas before everything closes up" Hotch Said.


First stop

My legs were tingling.

I definitely will never travel by car again.

William prepared to complain, but I gave him a look, So he did not open his mouth.

"I'm going to buy a burrito," William said.

"Son ... in the car has fruit, bread with peanut butter and water, at our next stop we'll have dinner," Hotch suggested.

"Burrito is not food to get out of fasting" I said

"I'm already 20 years old ... I do not need tips," he replied as he walked.

"Okay!" We respond together.

"My body is aching, I do not know how much longer I can drive," Hotch complained to me softly.

"I drive!" I replied to him. He breathed in relief.

We got in the car and continued our journey.

Hotch was almost asleep.

I looked at the rearview mirror and Morgan was with his ipad and his eyes sparkled, he was loving it!

It was already getting dark.

I looked again at the rearview mirror.

But this time, William was yellow "Will?" I asked fondly, drawing everyone's attention, including Hotch

"I think I'm a little nauseous," he said carefully, trying to breathe slowly.

"I drive so badly?"

" Not is it. I think that's burrito" He said with his hand on his mouth, ready to vomit. I could tell you I warned him, but I think he was already being heavily punished.

"Honey, look at this signboard ... there's a motel right there. We need to rest. William needs to recover.


Second stop

The place was macabre. He seemed to be abandoned for years. There were some customers.

"Good evening, welcome to Winchester. My name is Sam. "He appeared to be Reid's age, about 18 or 19 years old.

"Sam? Like the Winchester brothers? "Reid whispered. Sam ignored, but Reid continued, "This is macabre .. I mean, they are hunters of .."

"Reid!" We all said together.

"We want two rooms," Hotch said.

"Please excuse me sir, but we have only one room," Sam said.

"We can look for more," Hotch said looking at me warily.

"Sir, the next motel is about 40 minutes away, if you want I can give you the address," Sam said.

"Mom!" William complained, putting his head against my chest trying to control the urge to vomit "My head is spinning!"

"I think Will needs to rest" I whispered to my husband.

"Let's have the room!" Hotch said.

I could hear my children moaning in disgust.

"Sir ... in the room has a double bed and we only have two additional beds. It seems everyone has decided to travel today. "Sam said a little embarrassed.

"I'm surprised they're still open!" Reid complained softly so I could only hear.

"I just ask you to wait a few minutes for me to add the beds to your room"

Hotch nodded and approached me.

"Is it so bad son?" Hotch asked as he ran his hand through William's hair. He just nodded his head.

"Sir?" Sam came back.

He handed us the key.

And when we entered the room William ran into the bathroom to vomit. Hotch helped him by a hand down his back to ease his discomfort.

"Honey, I think Will has a fever! Your hands are cold, "Hotch said.

"Will, you need a shower. I'll see if I can get a doctor, "I said.

"Dad, I really ... I would never ask this if ... I'm just not well and I think ... I need your help" William said stumbling on his own words, he was as red as a tomato.

"You want Daddy to bathe you?" Morgan said with a loud laugh. Hotch laughs.

"It's not like that! I just ... "he tried to justify himself.

"Hey, you do not have to explain anything to me. I'll help you! "Hotch said comforting my boy and entering the bathroom again.

I went to the front desk and Sam looked at me differently.

"I need a doctor, do you know where to find one?" He studied me carefully and called a local doctor.
