Chapter 3
JJ tried not to panic as the plane landed. Curtis would met them at the air stripe; there he was same ole Curtis except he was older, heaver, and balder.
"Hi I'm Sheriff Curtis … " he paused and looked at JJ "Shelby?" He asked confused
"No I'm Jenifer Jareau we spoke on the phone" she said holding out her hand, trying not to look nervous
"Oh I'm sorry you just remind me of someone I used to know" he said shaking her hand
"This SSA Agent Hotchner, Agent Rossi, Agent Morgan, Agent Prentiss and Dr. Reid" JJ introduced
"I'm glad you could come so quickly, the kids are getting scared" Curtis said shaking the Agents hands
"Do you think there would be room for us to stay at the school?" Hotch asked
"Peter Scarbrow the head master wants to talk to you about that" said Curtis
Hotch nodded.
"You said the kids were getting scared this was the third body how come they weren't worried before?" asked Rossi
"Well you see the other two bodies were found by teachers so the adults were able to keep the details low key but Parker was found by his best friend Mikey. Mikey was completely hysterical by the time Peter got him back to the school. Put the whole student body in panic." Curtis explained
"Poor kid" Morgan said
"Some of my guys are going to take you to Rusty's the local diner in town. Then Peter and another counselor will meet us there and we will drive you up to the school" Curtis said.
They all piled into three cars and drove twenty minutes to Rusty's. The whole way JJ was becoming more and more anxious she knew once Peter saw her it would be all over he would never believe that she was no longer Shelby Merrick but Jenifer 'JJ' Jareua. She knew by the way Reid was looking at her that he suspected something was wrong. She wanted to smile when she saw the old familiar diner, the only diner in town.
"You guys will want to eat here before you go up to the school. It will be your last decent meal until you come back to town" Curtis said smiling once everyone was out of the cars
"Come on Curtis don't scare them" a woman's voice said walking up behind them
"Yeah the foods not that bad" came another woman's voice, a younger voice
JJ turned around to see three people from her past standing there, she froze.
"Shelby" said the young black woman as she walked over to JJ
"Shelby!" echoed the older blonde woman excitedly as she rushed forward and pulled JJ into a hug
"Always so warm" thought JJ
"N n n no ma'ma my name is Jenifer Jareua" JJ stuttered
"Oh I'm so sorry you just look so much like someone we used to know" The woman said as she quickly pulled away.
"I've been told that" JJ said chuckling
"Well I'm Peter, this friendly woman is my wife Sophie and this young woman is Katherine Anne Cabot Fares" he said holding out his hand
"Kat married Hank" JJ thought
The introductions were made then everyone went in to eat. They found a table that could seat all of them then sat down and waited for the waitress. Soon a young Asian girl about seventeen came to their table.
"Curtis, Peter what are you doing here?" the girl asked seeing familiar faces in the group of people.
"Hey Gracie we came for lunch before we took our visitors up to the school" Peter said
Gracie nodded then took their drink orders and left menus for them to make their lunch choice.
JJ was glad that Gracie didn't seem to remember her but her fears came true after they all order their food, Peter started asking her questions.
"So Ms. Jareua are you a profiler also?" Peter asked looking straight in her eyes
"No sir I'm a local law enforcement liaison, basically I'm a face for the team when media coverage is needed" she said matching his stare
"You think we are going to have media coming to the school?" Kat asked frowning
"Have any students gone home after the killings took place?" Rossi asked
"A few yes" said Peter
"Yes" Rossi simply answered looking a Katherine referring to her question
"Sheriff Wayfield said that you wanted to talk to us about sleeping accommodations" Hotch said changing the subject
"Yes I know Curtis called you up here because he knows you can help us but I can't let you go in to my school flashing badges and wearing those" Peter said pointing to Hotch's gun
"What do you suggest?" Hotch asked
"Well I have been talking about getting some trainee counselors, a new teacher, a librarian and adding extra security" Peter said
Peter also took the time to explain the school was spilt into groups, Ridge Runners, Trackers, Sun Dogs, and Cliffhangers, and that Sophie was the counselor for the Cliffhanger group and Kat was the counselor for the Ridge Runners group.
"What does that have to do with us" Morgan asked
"I was thinking you could get to know the kids without intimidating them or them completely shutting down on the progress they have made. Believe me when I say I don't want my kids getting hurt physical mental or emotionally and this is the only way I can think of if you have to be around them." Peter said seriously
"So you want us to be teachers and security guards? Don't you think they will be suspicious when we all show up at once?" Emily asked
"Well when Curtis told us that he was calling you guys for help I started talking to the kids about the new junior counselors we were going to have on a trial basis. Just try not to blow your cover on the first day because believe me those kids can smell a cop a mile away." Sophie said
"I hope you guys have different clothes because you are going to get made as soon as they look at you" Kat said to Hotch, who was dressed in his usual suit and tie.
"We are very causal around Horizon everyone goes by their first name" said Peter
Hotch sighed he had not planned going undercover he did have a couple pairs of jeans in his bag but nothing to causal. He hoped this little town had a clothing store so he would have to drive out of town just to get clothes.
After much discussion it was finally decided that Morgan and Rossi would be security, JJ and Emily would be trainee counselors, Reid would be the librarian and Hotch much to his dismay would teach U.S History .After that was settled they finished up lunch and began to spilt into groups to get in to the cars to go to a local clothes store so they all could get some more casual clothes. To JJ's dismay she watched as Rossi and Hotch went with Curtis, Morgan and Emily got in Kat's car leaving Reid and her with Peter and Sophie.
Reid notice how nervous JJ had been since they arrived at the airstrip, he saw fear in her eyes when Sophie had called her Shelby. He could tell that she knew these people but he wasn't sure how. She never seemed to like to talk about her childhood he mostly heard things about her senior year and college. He could tell that she was very uncomfortable around Peter and Sophie and he was determined to find out why. He watched as she stared out the car window watching the endless trees pass by. He saw a small smile appear on her face as they pasted the Mount Horizon School sign.
JJ couldn't help but smile a little when she saw the school sign at the same time her stomach did flips, she was back she was excited and horrified at the same time, like on a wild rollercoaster. She hoped that most of the staff had moved on and she could avoid Peter and Sophie as much as she possible could, she highly doubted that would happen. She noticed the school had an updated look to it. There were several new buildings; one of them was the new library and the others must have been new dorm cabins. She was pulled from her thoughts when she heard Sophie speak.
"Who's that?" she said pointing to a large sliver SUV and a red sports car that was parked in front of the main office cabin.
"I don't know" said Peter frowning
Peter got out of the car and headed for the cabin while Sophie was helping get Reid and JJ's bags out of the trunk. They all turned around when they heard the cabin door slam and a small woman stormed out.
"You told me my baby was safe! First I lose my husband now I have to come and get my BABY'S things. You let him DIE! I will make sure this school is SHUT DOWN" she screamed into Peter's face
"Mrs. Jones …" Peter started
"The hell he did" a gruff voice cut Peter off stepping in front of him
"Michel its ok" Peter said softly trying to calm the angry boy
"No it's not she's blaming you when it's her fault" Michel said stepping towards her
"Excuse me" Mrs. Jones said shocked
"You heard me Parks was my best friend shoot he was the only real friend I ever had. You want to know what he told me? He told me that he shut down and became so angry because no one was there for him that he felt like everything he did was not enough for you. Instead of talking to him you pushed him a way so when you sent him here he was already DEAD. He was alive here so if you want to blame someone try that psycho that cut his throat or yourself but don't you dare blame Peter" Michel said getting closer to her while his fist were opening and closing quickly
Before Peter could get front of Michel before he got to Mrs. Jones, who looked scared, Morgan stepped in front of Michel.
"That's close enough" Morgan said putting his hand on Michel chest for emphasis
"Don't touch me. Who the hell are you?" Michel growled
Morgan took his hand down but didn't step away.
"Michel this is Derek he is going to be your buddy until you learn how to control your angry again. You know intimidation is not the right way to express your feelings. Now I want you and Derek to go back to the dorm until I come and talk about a punishment for your actions" Peter said sternly to the tall boy
Michel looked like he had a lot to tell Peter about his anger problems in the form of a fist to the face but he just glared at Peter then Derek and headed for his dorm. Derek just looked shocked that he had not been there for ten minutes and he was already put on babysitting duty for an angry giant. Derek threw Hotch a look before following Michel.
Peter turned to speak to Mrs. Jones only to see her crying into JJ's shoulder while Sophie had a supporting hand on Mrs. Jones's back.
"Sof will you and Jenifer take Mrs. Jones into my office" Peter said calmly
Sophie nodded and guided JJ and Mrs. Jones back into the office
"Peter? What's going on" came a confused female voice from the door way of the cabin
"Yeah what's with all the drama" came a male voice from behind her
"Jules, Auggie? What are you doing" Peter asked confused to see his old students
"It's not this weekend is it" gasped Kat
"Yeah I have been waiting all year for this reunion. That's why we're here so we can help set up and make it perfect" said Juliette
"The Cliffhanger reunion right" Peter said remembering the event his approved last summer
"Peter actually forgot something" Auggie chuckled
"Ok Kat take them into Sophie's office and I will come in there in a little while to explain why I forgot" Peter said
Peter almost smiled when he heard Auggie ask Kat
"Sophie's got her own office now?"
Peter turned to his new 'staff' members rubbing his face trying to get rid of the headache he felt coming on. He saw the rest of his group that came to watch Michel's show and decided to kill two birds with one stone.
"Devin" he called to the young girl checking out Spencer
"Yeah chief" she said walking up to him
"I want you to help Emily carry Jenifer's bags up to the old Cliffhanger dorm and then give her the tour" he said
"I'm not a pack mule" she said haughtily
"No but we need someone to chop wood for two weeks" Peter said
"Let me help you with that" Devin said picking up JJ's bag
Emily looked at the young girl in front of her. She couldn't be any more than fourteen with hair that was dyed pink, blue, orange, and green in stripes that was growing out to reveal blonde hair and big blue eyes. She was wearing a bright pink sweater and a zebra print skirt with black leggings and black tennis shoes with white laces. Emily couldn't help but think of Garcia when she saw this sassy teen. Soon they were headed for the dorms.
"Adam" Peter said looking past Dave's shoulder
"Yeah" he said walking up to him
Adam was fourteen with hair the color of a carrot and brown eyes. Expect for the bright hair Adam was average height and weight. No one but Peter knew how smart he really was.
"I want you to do the same with Aaron, Dave, and Spencer take them to the old Cliffhanger boys dorm then give them the tour" Peter said
"Whatever" Adam said as he began to pick up a bag.
"You three go tell everyone to meet in the lodge at seven thirty. It is mandatory that everyone be there" he said to the three girls still standing there then waited while they set off on their quest.
Peter then headed towards his office thinking that things were going to be different for awhile at Mount Horizon.
