Chapter 2
The BAU group gathered around on the jet as they went through the files of the latest victims and unsub. 3 women were killed in the past week and the unsub is getting more and more unstable so now here they were headed to a local town called Berry it was in Alabama and a small town just 30 minutes from Fayette. They were due to meet up with the local sheriff so it took them an hour and a half to get from Birmingham to Berry with the help from Garcia for directions. When they arrived in the small town Kiera let out a sigh everyone turned to her as Hotch looked at her through the mirror.
"Kiera are you ok?" Hotch asked Kiera looked up at him then looked around the others were looking at her she smiled a little and nodded.
"Yeah I'm ok!" Kiera said she looked out the window and spotted someone she hasn't seen since she left "Hotch stop slow down for a moment please" Kiera commanded Hotch slowed the vehicle as Kiera had the window rolled down "GABBY!" Kiera hollered out the woman who Kiera called to looked up and over to the voice she smiled big and waved Kiera looked at Hotch for a moment. "Hotch the police department is right there" Kiera pointed to the building right in front of her then she turned to get out.
"Kiera where are you going?" Morgan asked.
"I'm going to talk to a good friend of mine I'll join you in a minute" Kiera said then hoped out she ran over to her long time friend and gave her the biggest hug manageable.
"OMG Kiera! It has been way too long my friend" Gabby stated with a smile. Kiera smiled back.
"Oh girl you have no idea. How's it going?" Kiera said then asked.
Gabby let out a frustrated sigh shaking her head "Alright I guess! I just wish I could be as lucky as you and get the hell out of this town" Gabby stated Kiera looked at her in sympathy and smiled.
"You have your license right?" Kiera asked Gabby nodded.
"Yeah why?" Gabby asked. She looked at Kiera suspiciously.
"Pack everything you have and load up your car I'll give you enough gas money and move to Virginia and come live with me" Kiera said Gabby looked at her in shock she quickly snapped out of it and smiled big.
"Really? You don't mind it at all? What about Chris?" Gabby asked.
"Why no! Why would I? And Chris can come too" Kiera asked then said.
"Thank you Kiera thank you so much I'll pack right away and I'll tell Chris, but I'll need your address" Gabby pointed out Kiera laughed and nodded.
"Yeah of course!" Kiera said she wrote down her address and gave it to Gabby then hugged her again "Well I have to get to work I'll talk to you later ok?" Kiera said Gabby nodded and walked off.
Kiera smiled and walked towards the building as the others waited until she arrived. She looked up sheepishly as the sheriff came walking out.
"So who was that Kiera?" Derek asked. Kiera opened her mouth when the sheriff interrupted them.
"Kiera?" The sheriff asked.
"Oh hey Frankie how's it going?" Kiera asked.
"I'm doing good! Have you gone by to see your dad yet?" Frankie asked Kiera shook her head.
"No not yet. I will soon though" Kiera asked.
"What about your mother? Have you been by Philadelphia to see her yet?" Frankie asked Kiera shook her head.
"N-No not yet I-I'm not sure I can, but I haven't been in a while so yeah I'll go see her" Kiera said her eyes welded up with tears she quickly shook them away.
"It does get better with time Kiera I promise" Frankie said sympatheticly.
Kiera took a deep breath and smiled "I know".
"Wait Kiera you know the sheriff?" Hotch asked.
"Well she outta know who I am after all I have known her sense she was 16" Frankie said they looked at her shocked.
"Wait Kiera you lived here?" Rossi asked. She turned and nodded.
"Yeah of course Berry's my home town. Well my second home town before I moved from California that is" Kiera said "oh and to answer your question earlier Derek that was my best friend I was talking to"
"Wow we didn't know that" JJ said Kiera smiled and nodded.
"Shall we head to the crime scene?" Prentiss asked they looked at her then nodded.
"Yeah I think that would be the best Idea" Frankie said they all got into their cars and followed the sheriff.
They arrived at the scene within 10 minutes. Everyone got out of their vehicles and followed Frankie to the spot where their latest victim was found. They walked into the house and as soon as Kiera saw the blood her mouth flew opened she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
"My word so much blood! I have never...well I've seen blood like this, but only on tv never in real life" Kiera said.
"Not what you expected huh!" Hotch asked Kiera shook her head.
"Kiera what about when you witnessed the murders that placed you in witness protection program?" Derek asked.
"I've never seen the blood because as soon as I saw the shooting I took off before I could see anymore" Kiera said.
"Ahhh I see" Rossi stated he shook his head Kiera looked at him then smiled.
"Alright let's get started. Derek, You Reid and Kiera take a look outside see if you find any footprints while we check inside" Hotch ordered they nodded and walked out.
Once outside they began to work. About half an hour into their jobs Hotch came walking out he had a grim look on his face and that perked up their interest.
"Hotch what happened?" Derek asked.
"There has been another attack" Hotch said.
"Already? We just barely began to work this scene" Derek stated.
"I know! Kiera I want you, Rossi and Prentiss to go check out the latest crime scene and we'll meet up back at the police department" Hotch ordered they turned to leave when JJ stopped them.
"Hotch why don't we all go? We've gotten everything we needed here" JJ suggested Hotch looked at her and nodded.
"Good Idea! Kiera why don't you drive this time? After all you know this town like the back of your hand right?" Hotch said then suggested tossing her the keys she nodded with a smile.
They piled into the SUV and began to drive to the new crime scene. They looked over at Kiera like she lost her mind when she began taking a road they had no idea. Derek was the first to speak.
"Uh sis why don't we call Garcia and have her give us the direction on where the crime scene is?" Derek suggested Kiera shook her head.
"No offense, but I know exactly where I am going" Kiera said.
"Are you sure Kiera?" JJ asked.
"Yup! Remember I lived her at one time?" Kiera said then asked.
"Yeah that's right" JJ smiled how could he have forgotten. Kiera looked over at JJ for a moment and smiled then suddenly she brought the car to a sharp turn and skitted into the bank parking lot.
"Kiera what in the hell are you doing?" Prentiss asked.
Kiera ignored her for a moment and put the SUV in park she got out and stomped towards the little boy walking alone by himself. She gabbed a hold of his arm and dragged him back to the SUV and put him in she shut the door behind her and turned with fury written on her face.
"Luke David Hinton and exactly what did you think you were doing young man?" Kiera asked angrily.
"Walking home" Luke answered.
"By yourself?" Kiera asked.
"Yes mommy said it was ok" Luke said.
"Oh that's the last straw I have had it with your mother! I am taking you to your dad's and then I am going to be paying your mother a visit" Kiera stated angrily she road the SUV to life and drove off. "Luke do you realize how dangerous it is for you to be walking around by yourself? And your only 6 years old for heaven's sake" Kiera cried.
"I'm sorry auntie Kiera" Luke said his bottom lip trembled he was about to cry when Kiera sighed.
"Oh Luke I worry because I love you buddy I don't want anything happening to you. I know how dangerous it can be! Promise me you will never go off by yourself again ok?" Kiera said then asked.
Luke looked up at his aunt and nodded she smiled at him as he smiled back. She turned on the street her foster brother lived and parked the SUV she got out with Luke she told them that she would only be a minute they nodded and waited. Kiera walked over to the door and knocked as the door opened Travis stepped out with his cane he looked surprised to see both Kiera and Luke.
"Kiera hey sis good to see you again and why is Luke with you?" Travis asked.
"I caught him walking by himself back to his mom's! I guess it's not his fault after all his mom allowed it to happen" Kiera said. "and I am fixen to go and give his mom a good talking too and don't stop me Travis because I am an FBI agent now and I know the law" Kiera warned Travis sighed and nodded.
"I wish you wouldn't, but I guess you have to do your job huh?" Travis said.
"Yes I do either me or my boss" Kiera said.
"Alright just take it easy and don't hit her" Travis begged.
"I won't I'm not that stupid" Kiera smirked.
She said her goodbye and walked back to the SUV she got in closing the door behind her she buckled her seat belt and put the car into drive she skitted it and turned. Oh she was going to give Luke's mom a piece of her mind she was beyond mad she was furious how she could be irresponsible. She arrived at the apartment building beside the school she stormed out and knocked or more like banged on the door until Desarae answered.
"Hey Kiera long time no see" she said happily, but after she seen the furious look on her face her smile faded.
"What the hell were you thinking?" Kiera growled angrily.
"What are you talking about?" Desarae asked.
"You know very well what I am talking about. I found Luke walking by himself BY HIMSELF down the street coming back from I guess the store" Kiera yelled.
"Where is my son now?" she asked.
"With Travis" Kiera answered.
"You had no right taking him down there" she said angrily.
"No right? I can arrest you now for child endangerment! Rather you new it or not he is your responsibility to take care of so as of right now I will have DHR out here with in the next day. Your lucky I don't arrest your ass" Kiera yelled.
"Yeah? Well they won't believe you because it will be your word against mine and I have a very good lawyer and have them eating out of my hand. I can just say he was home the whole time" she responded with a smirk. Kiera smirked back.
"Yeah I'm afraid that won't work this time because not only did I see him alone, but see that SUV over there? The whole FBI team in that car saw him as well especially when I pulled over and got him in the car" Kiera replied she smiled even bigger seeing the smile wipe from her face. She turned to leave only to turn back for a moment "See you in court"
Kiera walked back to the SUV got in and slammed the door shut she took out her cell that was hiding in her pocket and placed it down. She grabbed the steering wheel and suddenly started banging it with fury.
"Oooohhhh that bitch pisses me off sooo bad I just wanna hit her! The way she treats those kids" Kiera raved then she hit her head on the wheel and sobbed.
"Hey it's going to be ok" Prentiss said softly.
"You have no idea what she does. My sister foster sister sorry Derek!"
"It's ok sis"
"well as I said my foster sister and I had bought Anna my niece some beautiful dresses to wear to church on Sundays and she burned all, but the three she bought her. They have no nice shoes to wear those kids have went to school in shorts during winter because she doesn't dress them properly she even dropped them off at my foster brothers in their pjs in the winter with no shoes on at all. Guys that woman is horrible" Kiera sobbed her heart broke for those poor kids. Derek reached over and took Kiera into his arms and held her.
"hey hey sis listen to me ok? She will get what she deserves and your foster brother will get his kids back! Just have faith ok?" Derek said soothingly Kiera sighed and nodded she pulled back and wiped her tears away.
"Thanks bro" Kiera said with a smile.
"No prob! Now let's get to the crime scene" Derek said.
"right" Kiera started the car and drove off.
