No one knew what to say. They all just stood there watching the paramedics work on JJ, even though if they were honest they knew it was too late.
Slowly the alley filtered as the paramedics, pronounced her dead. Morgan turned and punched the wall with force. Hotch and Rossi stood staring blankly and horrified as they watched Prentiss kneel down to say goodbye. It was the first time they saw her show real emotion, as a single tear ran down her pale face.
Suddenly Prentiss stood up and motioned for them all to come towards her. They all gazed at what she had in her hands. Emily had fished a piece of paper from under JJ. A picture of the BAU leaving their office, with red writing sprawled across.
A question for each of your team agent Hotchner?
There's only 6
"The sick Bastard isn't counting JJ", Morgan said almost punching the bin.
Hotch began to read, Ellis Bell was better known by what name?
They all gazed around at this strange development. Their daze was broken my Rossi answering, "Emily Bronte" . They all turned their heads to Rossi.
"How do you know that", Morgan said in disbelief.
"I just do".
Only American state to border one other state?
Morgan quickly answered, "Maine".
How many of the Beatles were left handed?
"Anyone know?", Morgan said looking around at the team. They all shook their heads. "I'll call Garcia".
"Garcia?" Prentiss mumbled sadly.
Morgan took out his phone, "Kevin"
"Please Morgan tell me nothing has happened to Penelope?"
"No Kevin, no word, but we need to find out how many of the Beatles were left handed?"
"No need to look. 2"
"Thanks Kevin . Stay on the line, we may need you again"
Hotch began to read again. Who was known as the little Tramp?
"Charlie Chaplin", Morgan answered again, slightly more irate.
Who was the Prime minister of Great Britain during the Second World War?
Hotch answered this time. "Winston Churchill"
Who is the referred to as the Vicar of Christ?
"The Pope... Guys I live in Rome", Prentiss said still concentrating on the piece of paper.
"Okay know we must find out what these things mean", Rossi said rather earnestly.
"Maybe It's a name" Prentiss offered "Emily Churchill maybe"
"Lives in Maine".
"What about the 2?"
"Okay were the hell does Charlie Chaplin and the pope come in to this?" Morgan angrily added. "God we need Reid".
"Well this has something to do with him going missing, so WE need to do this", Hotch said sternly.
"Sorry Hotch, It's just this is ridiculous".
"You know what. Charlie Chaplin was Gideon's favourite film star"...
..."Look, you fools, you're in danger! Can't you see? They're after you! They're after all of us! Our wives, our children, everyone! They're here, Already! You're Next!", Reid mumbled. "No idea!".
"Reid you need to watch more films. It's from Invasion of the Body snatchers", Garcia said catching him up.
"What's it about. Body snatchers I guess", he said with no humour in his voice.
"These pod people come down from space. And create replacer bodies of you but they have no emotions. Good film".
"No emotions?", Reid said, as something clicked in his head. "That's what he's doing to me. Trying to hurt me until I have no emotions left. Till I'm no longer me"...
Review please .
(FYI Rossi is a major Emily Bronte fan). (Sorry about the Invasion of the Body snatchers stuff, but just wrote a long essay on the Communist undertones in the film, and I'm full of Marxism and bitterness.)
