What fresh Hell?
I'm furious… I just can't believe that he did that… What is the matter with him? Okay… I'll start at the beginning. I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't just talk about work, but the last few days were awful.
We got a request for help with a missing girl. It felt like we were playing catch up from the minute we got the case. We didn't get called in till twenty hours after she went missing and we're supposed to get called in right away. Hotch wasn't happy and Spence reminded us all of the statistics for missing children her age. I've been trying lately to not get irritated by his ramblings, but hearing him say that in such an off handed way got on my nerves. How can he just recite stuff like that and not show any feelings?
We got there and did our jobs. Mine was handling the press as usual. We found out soon enough that she was lured away by a man looking for his dog. We had thought it might be her father, but he was out of town. He finally came home and it was obvious that he had no idea what had happened to his daughter.
I tried to have an actual conversation with Spence, but it must of have been the stress of the case because the only thing I could think of to say was something dumb about my friends in the press. What is wrong with me?
Anyway, I did see an old friend amongst the reporters that were surrounding Billie Copeland's home. In fact, he used to be an old boyfriend, but what I ever saw in him, I don't know.
He was all, come on JJ give me something, for old times sake. This he wants after he practically accused the FBI of a cover up with Billie. He must have thought I was as stupid and naïve as I was in college when he got me in his bed and then refused to talk to me the next day.
So I decided that a little payback was in order. I made him think I was going to whisper something important in his ear and instead I said. "You might want to rethink that tie." Well… It was an ugly tie, what can I say.
Is that the reason he turned into the jackass and did what he did? Is he still such a little boy that he had to hurt innocent parents that were terrified for their child? How could someone do that just to get revenge? I hope that wasn't why he ruined the press conference we set up.
It was a difficult case due to the fact that the parents are divorced. Then we found out that the father was having a relapse with cancer. It was so horrible for everyone. I just wanted to help as much as I could. I set it up for the parents to talk to the public about a possible witness. We thought we had a suspect, but Hotch said that they had to call him a witness or the neighbors wouldn't call in the tip line.
The press conference was going really well when my so called friend asked the parents about the body the police had found in the river. He made it sound like the body was Billie's and of course the parents freaked out. We had to stop in the middle of the press conference. I was so furious. I wanted to kill him with my bare hands. The only thing I could do was tell him off. I still can't believe he did that.
Anyway… we found her, or I should say that an observant neighbor led us to him and then Gideon found her by just breaking into his house. Spence told me that it was a hell of a surprise to see Gideon just break a window without a warrant and climb inside.
He found where the guy was hiding her too. Sometimes Gideon scares me and there's no way I would ever want to get on his bad side.
It's all okay though….
Also, I can't believe I forgot to mention this, but I went to Gideon's office the morning the case began and Garcia was in there. She was all excited about the flowers Gideon sent her. Yes… your heard me right, she thought he sent her flowers. It turned out that it was Hotch that sent the flowers and put the card in Gideon's name.
We were playing poker on the plane after the case, and Reid was winning as usual. Sometimes I don't understand him. He is so smart and here he is doing this job that is so stressful when he could be making a fortune in Vegas. He says counting cards is illegal. I say he's smart enough to get away with it. Anyway I'm glad he's here. The team needs him.
So during the game Gideon asked Hotch if he sent Garcia the flowers. Hotch said yes and he told Gideon that people need to feel valued. Gideon said he already got her a MP3 player as a gift and what if she thinks he's sweet on her. I think everyone wanted to laugh, but no one did.
I went out with Henry the day after we got back and had coffee and muffins at my favorite café. He always listens and never tries to solve my problems like a lot of guys would. He's so sweet and cute. We were having a really good talk when Morgan came into the café.
I watched him flirt with the waitress and then he saw us. He got this big smile on his face, like he'd caught me doing something I shouldn't. He came over to our table and I introduced him to Henry. We talked for awhile till his date came in. He was still smiling at me when he left and I still don't know what was so funny.
Maybe I'll ask him on Monday. I'm going out with Henry again tonight. There's a new movie I've been dying to see. It's going to be a much better evening now that I've got all that out of my system. That and the thought of my friend tripping over his microphone and falling on his face in front of a really pretty girl, now that's a happy thought.
