Chapter 6
She was bleeding and he packed her wound. He couldn't take her to the hospital. The cops would wonder where she got shot. When the bullet broke the back window it lodged into her shoulder entering in from her back. She almost lost control of the car. He thought they would get caught but she was able to get it back under control and dive away.
He had to get into hiding. This ruined his plans and he couldn't leave her. She knew too much. They spent a few days in a motel before he drove them to a place his family rented when he was a kid. It was abandoned and he could get into the locked gate quickly. After he had taken her to the cabin he parked the SUV a mile down the road and walked back to her. She was feverish, the wound was infected. He didn't care because it wouldn't bother her soon.
He knew she wouldn't be able to handle the driving and shooting, she was incapable of doing anything he wanted. Only one of them died! He was so angry that they didn't seem to care or that the media wasn't running his story. By the time he got back to the cabin Donald took the gun, pointed it at Bobbi Jo's head and pulled the trigger. He dragged her body to the woods and left her for the animals. He didn't know how, but he would continue one day, completing the task.
Stephen shackled JJ to the bed. He wasn't going to let her wake up yet but he couldn't give her too much medicine. He feared she would die and he would be alone again. They would be looking for him and he hoped that his lies and fake ID's would lead to a dead end. He was certain he could get away with this, as he did so many times before. But he knew how they caught people like him, when they were desperate. And he certainly was desperate to get her. Now she was here and he wanted so much to have her belong to him forever. She would fight at first but eventually they all give up and then she would be his.
JJ was beginning to wake up she felt like her head was spinning. She didn't know where she was. There was something about this place that frightened her. She couldn't see her surroundings, the haze was too heavy. She tried to fight the feeling but it was too strong and she drifted off to sleep once again.
The doctor argued the fact that this woman was JJ. He looked at the name bracelet and said, "It has her name on it."
The nurse spoke up, "I put that on her this morning. I don't know why she wasn't wearing one and I thought maybe it slipped off her wrist when he changed her bed."
The Doctor jumped on that, looking for any excuse to place the blame elsewhere, "Didn't you question that?"
The nurse shook her head no.
Dr. Jandi was about to argue with her some more but Hotch interrupted.
"That's enough. I need his employee records and the picture on his name badge. Morgan I want you and Reid to go through his finale steps in this hospital, have her take you through them." Hotch pointed at the nurse. "The rest of us will comb through this entire hospital and make sure that she is not here. I want this place on lock down."
Dave flipped open his phone getting a tactical team there.
"Garcia I want you to get back to the BAU, I will call you with his information as soon as I can get it."
Ten minutes later Morgan and Reid were on the first floor looking around the dirty utility room. There was nothing there that would suggest he had been there with JJ. They walked out of the room and Morgan noticed the door, he asked Michele where it led and she said outside. He pushed the door open and on the other side was the linen cart with the white stickers that said 2 South on the side. Michele said, "That's our cart."
"Reid, bring Hotch down here." Morgan went out the doors and Reid ran up the steps to the second floor.
Once down stairs with Morgan, Hotch knew JJ wasn't in the hospital any longer. This seemed like a nightmare and he couldn't wake from it.
Will walked over to Hotch, "I am working this case with you and do not tell me any different! I don't give a shit if I am not FBI, I am doing it!"
Hotch didn't argue with him he just asked about Henry.
"I asked Haley to take him. She will be here soon."
Hotch was dumbfounded by that comment. He didn't realize JJ and Will still kept in contact with Haley. This was going to get awkward. He didn't have time to think about that now.
