Chapter 11 –
Doctor Franchetti looked out of her window, darkness had long since descended as she decided that it was safe to leave the confines of her office. The visit by the FBI earlier had made her wary and instead of heading out to her normal meeting at the Church she stayed shut in her office pretending to catch up on all of her paperwork. As she turned the lights off she looked outside and was relieved to see that hers was one of the few left in the car park, her confidence slightly restored as she locked the office up and walked out to the car.
Garcia was sitting in her office, the lack of windows was quite beneficial as she had lost all track of time, fuelled by a combination of her own determination and caffeine, her fingers typed away furiously hoping to find the one small thing that would help the team find the unsub and bring them home safely. As she swivelled around, clutching her favourite pink pen, towards another monitor that was churning out results from her latest query, a loud beeping noise attracted her attention, quickly Garcia manoeuvred her way back to her main computer and brought up what had caused the alarm to sound.
"Oh good now we finally have something to work with."
Doctor Franchetti waited until she had driven away from the campus, taking her usual route home she reached for her cell phone. Knowing that it was a risk but she also knew that it was a risk she had to take as she listened to the ringing tone until finally she answered the phone.
"It's Julia, the FBI came to see me today. They don't know anything for certain and I've made sure that nothing can be trace to you."
Franchetti waited for the other woman to respond, it seemed to take ages but it was only a few seconds as she stopped at yet another set of lights.
"Good. Now don't phone me again, don't contact us. If I need anything I'll send Simon."
Her eyes were concentrated on the lights as they changed and she accelerated away but the line had gone dead anyway, the message received loud and clear, stay quiet and stay away.
Garcia squinted as she concentrated on the screen, finally Doctor Franchetti had made a move and had not only turned her cell phone on but had also made a call long enough that Garcia could track the number.
"Ok so let's see who the good doctor felt like calling at...goodness is that the time...1am?"
Garcia lifted up her pen and tucked it in her mouth, folding her bottom lip underneath it as she typed away, quickly finding out the location of the number the good doctor had phoned, after that she pulled all the information she could about the registered owner of the property.
Morgan was tossing and turning in the bed, his mind twisting and turning with the events of the day. He loved coming back to his home city, but here he was sleeping in some non-descript hotel room, just like any other case, some unsub was targeting his turf and he wanted to catch them as soon as possible so they didn't hurt anybody else, he wanted to protect his family, he knew that his sisters were vulnerable and heaven help him if anything ever happened to them. His dreams had turned into nightmares as he envisioned kicking in a door and shooting the unsub, only to find his sister Desiree barely conscious in the basement. As he suddenly sat up, sweat pouring down his naked chest, he scrunched up his face as he heard a noise, trying to concentrate as he regained his bearings eventually he realised what it was making the noise and grunted as he picked up his cell.
"Agent Morgan."
"Well aren't you a ray of sunshine, did I wake you my favourite strong man?"
Morgan shifted his body on the bed, sitting up right as he listened to Garcia's unnervingly perky voice.
"It's the middle of the night babygirl, you woke me from my beauty sleep."
"I thought that a perfect specimen like you wouldn't need any beauty sleep!"
"Yeah yeah babygirl, flattery will get you everywhere, especially at 2am! So what has got you all guns blazing and phoning me at this unnatural hour?"
Garcia leant back in her chair, resting her feet up on the edge of her desk as she took a breath.
"Your friend, Doctor Julia Franchetti, finally decided to call someone. The call only lasted 90 seconds but it was a land line number registered to a Mary Davies. I've dug up some rather interesting information on her."
"Ok gorgeous I'd better get the others before you go any further, I'll ring you back in a few minutes after I've woken everyone up."
"Make sure you take them coffee, you know how grouchy they get without their sleep, especially Reid."
Morgan chuckled slightly as he put the phone down before he quickly pulled on a jumper and a pair of jeans and went about waking the rest of the team.
Simon walked down the stairs, carrying the tray carefully as he did, the food and drink had been precisely monitored so that it would give her the correct amount of nutrition that her and her baby would need. He didn't like this job, he didn't like the interaction with the, well he didn't quite know what to call them, mother called them guests, but he knew that that was just a fallacy as he was the one that had captured them. Nervously he unlocked the door and walked into the dark room, placing the tray on the floor beside the bed as his eyes locked with hers.
"It's all good, I made it myself. Eat it, it will do the both of you good."
Vanessa nodded as she looked at the man who was just a few years older than herself, she was hungry but waited until she was alone once again before she started to devour the food, unsure of when she would next have anything to eat or drink.
