Chapter 7

At the same time elsewhere the jigsaw pieces were falling into place. Emily and Morgan had travelled to Jane's house.

"We need to talk to you about Walt" Morgan had started off with. Jane had let them in wordlessly.

"What now?" She asked.

"Walt was released from jail, we have reason to believe that he is raping and killing young girls." Emily elaborated

"And…." Jane asked bluntly

"We need to know history any little detail can help." Morgan pressed.

"I meet him in a supermarket it was love at first site. He was so strong and handsome and really great with my girls." Jane reflected, "He loved those girls took care of them like they were his own, and it wasn't easy. Shelby especially gave him hell. I worked nights so he would bath them, read them a story and put them to bed. Then Mellissa killed herself. She didn't even leave a note. Shelby started acting out for 4 years we put up with that crap. It was a blessing in disguise when she ran away. Poor Walt was devastated when she left I'm pretty sure that's what caused his heart attack. So it was only fair she came back and help us to care for him. That evil bitch convinced Jess to lie too, they both claimed he'd raped them. He'd never do something like that! It was that bitch she took my baby away from me, I sent Walt to get them and there was an accident, he accidently killed them both. Now I'm alone and it's all her fault." Jane moaned. Emily and Morgan sat in shock wondering how a mother could hate her child that much.

"We were struggling to find a photo of Shelby can we borrow one of yours?" Morgan asked. Jane grumbled but got up off the sofa, she walked to a nearby shelf she picked up a folder plucking out a photo.

"This is the most recent one I have I think she was 12" She gave it to Emily showing them out of the door. Emily walked to the car getting it she looked at the photo. Almost dropping it in shock.

"Woah" Morgan grabbed it off her.

"Wow, what the actual man"

"That's JJ" Emily finally spat out noticing Morgan was already on the phone.

"Hotch Shelby isn't dead, it's JJ"

"Our JJ?" Hotch asked in disbelief

"I'm telling you man, it's her. I'm sending the photo now" Morgan pressed send.

"That does look a lot like JJ" Hotch commented "Hang on, Garcia I need that sealed file on Shelby now, I need to know everything on her."

"Ok boss man" they heard Garcia madly typing.

"Get back here now, I'll call Rossi" Hotch decided. They needed JJ back here now, there were so many unanswered questions. As he picked up the phone it rang Rossi was calling.

"Hotch its Rossi, we just found a victim alive he let her go" Rossi reported, "JJ took her statement" he flicked through her notes.

"Where is JJ?" Hotch asked urgently

"She stepped outside." Rossi replied stepping out to look for her.

"Find her and don't let her out of your sight, in fact I'm sending officers to the school both of you come here" Hotch ordered

"Why, what's happened?" Rossi questioned wondering what he had missed while walking to find JJ.

"JJ is Shelby" Hotch revealed

"What? Are you sure?"

"Oh positive" Hotch remarked.

"Hang on I will call you back" Rossi decided not able to find JJ.
