Chapter Six
Storjohann had once again taken command of the team due to Ashe going on maternaty leave.
"How long have you worked for the BAU, Landon?" Zidane wondered.
Zidane had always been curious to why Ashe had left Storjohann in charge when she would leave.
"Six years. It will be seven next month. I started at the same time Ashe did. The director saw more potential in Ashe being leader. She had me become her second in command." Storjohann asnwered.
Seth sat in the lobby of the delivery ward with Chief Swan, Bella, Edward, Renesmee, and Jacob. He was nervous because he had fainted in the delivery room.
"Seth, don't worry. It happens. This is your first child. It will be a healthy baby..."Jacob stated as the nurse walked up to them.
"Mr. Clearwater? You have a healthy baby girl. Your wife said I should ask you about a name." the nurse stated handing Seth his daughter.
Chief Swan knew that Seth was looking at him for help. He had two daughters of his own.
"Jesikah Renae Clearwater. J-E-S-I-K-A-H. R-E-N-A-E." Seth answered.
Jacob smiled at his niece. He knew that Seth would be a great father.
"May I hold her, son?" Chief Swan asked.
Seth nodded and stood up. He walked the few feet and handed Chief Swan his newest granddaughter.
"She's a beautiful girl, Seth. She has Ashelia's eyes but your brown hair and facial features. She is special and she will grow up to be you and Ashelia's little princess. Nessie be gentle that's your newborn cousin." Bella explained.
Bella understood Seth's fear of losing Jesikah to something unknown to him. She knew that fear because she thought she was going to lose Renesmee in the beginning.
"She's sturdy, Seth. And Bella is right she had you and Ashe's features. And she definantly looks like a Jesikah." Chief Swan stated.
Seth looked down the hallway and saw that a nurse was wheeling Ashe down the hallway. He walked over to her when she was but a few feet away.
"She's beautiful, Ashelia. Her name is Jesikah Renae Clearwater. She has your eyes." Seth stated as he wheeled Ashe over to Chief Swan and the others.
Ashe smiled at her father, who was happily smiling down at Jesikah. She was happy. Her father had two granddaughters: Renesmee Carlie Cullen and Jesikah Renae Clearwater..
"I think she's gonna have your curls, Charlie. Her hair is curling slightly now. She is a perfect cross of me and Seth. I couldn't ask for a better then Jesikah." Ashe stated.
Storjohann smiled as he watched Ashe and Seth walk into the office with a carseat. He was glad to see them.
"Ashelia! Seith! Hey it's good to see you guys. How are you doing?" Storjohann wondered.
Ashe smiled back. She was happy to see the office again. She was excited to see her team again.
"Hey, Landon. It's good to see you too. We are doing great. This is our daughter. Jesikah Renae Clearwater." Ashe stated.
Seth smiled as Storjohann finally got a good look at Jesikah. He never thought that he would have a beautiful baby girl.
"Jesikah is beautiful, Seth. May I hold her, Ashe?" Storjohann wondered.
Ashe nodded and put Jesikah's carseat on the closest desk and unbuckled her. She gently pulled Jesikah out of the carseat and handed her to Storjohann. Ashe watched as Zidane, Gibbs, and Kails walked over.
"Well ain't she a beaut. Brown hair and bright baby blues. Did you say her name was Jesikah Renae Clearwater, Ashe?" Zidane wondered.
Seth nodded and looked at his daughter. She was now one of the two most important people in his life.
"She's my life like Ashe is. Jesikah is a perfect cross of Ashe and myself. I love her as much as I love Ashelia." Seth stated.
Bella, Edward, and Renesmee moved to Quantico so that Ashe and Seth could both go back to work. Bella looked at Jesikah as she slept.
"Thank you for doing this, Bella. You didn't have to. I could have hired a nanny." Ashe explained.
Bella looked at her older sister and shook her head. She knew that Ashe could have hired a nanny but she knew Ashe didn't want someone who she didn't know.
"Don't worry, Ashelia. We wanted to help you and Seth. Plus we wanted to be close to you two and Jesikah." Edward stated.
Ashe nodded. She knew that Bella and Edward really wanted to help her and Seth with Jesikah.
"It means a lot, Edward. But we could have hired a nanny. I guess we have no choice for the shear fact that the two of you won't let us call a nanny." Seth stated.
"Welcome back, guys. Landon has been going crazy with all your backed up paperwork, Ashe." Kails explained.
Ashe nodded and looked at Storjohann. She could tell that he was having problems with her paperwork.
"Landon! Don't worry about my paperwork I can finish it." Ashe exclaimed.
Storjohann looked up at the sound of Ashe's voice and noticed that she and Seth were back. He smiled at put the pen he was using down. He got up and walked over to Ashe and Seth.
"Ashe! Seth! Welcome back! And thank the heavens I was going crazy with all the paperwork that was piling up on your desk, Ashe." Storjohann happily explained.
Seth smiled at Storjohann and nodded. He was glad to be back at work but sad because he would be away from Jesikah.
"We are glad to be back, Landon. Though I do desprately miss Jesikah." Seth responded.
Ashe looked at Seth and nodded. She, like Seth, missed Jesikah but she knew it was best that she work and raise her because she was Ashe's life.
"I miss her too, Seth. But at least she is with family. Bella and Edward are with Jesikah. They won't let any harm come to our daughter." Ashe answered.
Zidane looked at Ashe and could tell that she worried about her daughter. He then remembered what Tristam had said about Silverjames.
"Oh. Ashe. Andrew is dead. A navy airman murdered him. Luckily Tristphira caught him." Zidane explained.
Storjohann looked at Zidane like he was crazy. He knew that Zidane had a nickname for his wife but it was a crazy nickname.
"Tristphira?" Ashe wondered.
Ashe was curious about the nickname. She had always been curious about Zidane.
"Sorry, Ashe. Special Agent Kails-Hunter. She's my wife and the mother of my daughter. She is a good NCIS Agent." Zidane answered.
Zidane saw that Ashe was ever the curious one of the team. Which is why she made the perfect choice for leader of this BAU team.
"I see. Special Agent Kails-Hunter is a great agent. Did she tell you who it was, Zidane?" Ashe asked.
Seth and Kails looked at Zidane as though he were a life preserver. They both knew that something was up.
"It was Jace Adrian Swan." Zidane answered.
Storjohann looked at Ashe and saw the shock. He knew that Ashe never knew about this sibling.
"How is that possible? I only had one brother named Jace Swan and he was murdered a year ago." Ashe confusedly wondered.
Ashe suddenly pulled out her phone as it rang. She looked at the caller ID and noticed that it said Charlie Swan. She answered it and put him on speaker.
"Ashelia. Jacob had heard you caught the guy who killed Silverjames. He said his name is Jace Adrian Swan, your half brother. He is against all the people you work with including your husband." Chief Swan stated.
Seth gawked at the cell phone in Ashe's hand. He thought he had two brother-in-laws named Jace.
"How is that possible, Charlie? Neither Ashe or myself thought it would be a half brother. And Ashe is in shock because of the news." Seth wondered.
Storjohann waited for Chief Swan's response. He didn't understand why it was important to get to know about this Jace.
"Jace Adrian is my son as well as Talya James-Swan's son. He wanted Ashe to quit working for the BAU. He also wanted her to divorce Seth and drown Jesikah." Chief Swan answered.
Ashe let out a ferral low growl. She knew Charlie heard it. She didn't care what her half brother wanted her to do. She married Seth because he imprinted on her. She worked for the BAU because it was a job she loved because she was trying to save people from people like her half brother. And she sure as hell wasn't going to hurt her newborn daughter.
"Jace Adrian can go to hell. I'm not quitting my job. I'm not divorcing Seth and I'm sure as hell not going to drown my newborn daughter. If he thinks that I am going to just drop my life to please that little fucker. He is not going to get the fucking pleasure of me living alone and regretting everything that he made me do. So he can shove a stick up his little penis." Ashe growled.
Zidane heard Chief Swan take a shocked gasp. He knew that it shocked all of the people around Ashe.
"Ashelia Danielle Clearwater! Calm down before you do something that you would regret later. Jesikah needs you. And so does your team. Don't do anything stupid." Chief Swan stated.
Seth watched Ashe's face and saw that she was visibly shaken from the news that she had a half brother.
"I'm not going to be stupid, father. I'm not going to lose my job, my husband or my daughter." Ashe responded.
Bella smiled when Ashe and Seth walked into the house. She soon noticed that Ashe was shaken.
"What's wrong, Seth? She's never been this shaken before." Bella wondered.
Seth looked at Bella and noticed what Bella saw in Ashe's face. He knew that he should tell Bella what they had found out that the Swan girls had a sadistic half brother.
"You two have a sadistic half brother named Jace Adrian Swan. And he wants Ashe to quit her job at the BAU. And he wants Ashe to quit her job at the BAU, divorce me, and drown Jesikah." Seth answered.
Edward looked at Ashe and let out a ferral growl that scared Ashe out of her shock. He watched her hide behind Seth.
"That little dick doesn't deserve the pleasure of what he wants you to do, Ashelia. I know you are in shock like Bella but you are a great federal agent, Ashelia." Edward explained.
"Clearwater! Hey, Ashe!" Gibbs holldered.
Ashe stopped walking and waited for Gibbs to catch up to her. She didn't know why he was trying to catch her while she was heading to her office.
"What do ya need, Gibbs? I have paperwork to finish and look at the case file for our newest case." Ashe answered.
Gibbs could tell that Ashe wasn't in a good mood to deal with the voicemail from her half brother.
"Jace Adrian left a voicemail on your office phone. The director wanted me to check the phone number he left for you." Gibbs answered.
Ashe looked at Gibbs and then ran to her office and pressed the voicemail button.
"You have one new voicemail. First new voicemail. Ashelia Danielle Swan. You are not a Clearwater. You are not an agent nor are you a good mother to that little hell devil Jesikah Renae Clearwater. You are a Swan and nothing more. So do as I asked and divorce Seth, drown your hell daughter, and leave the BAU. If you don't I am going to continue killing your team until you have no one left on your team. End of voicemail." the phone exclaimed.
Ashe looked at the doorway to her office and saw the director standing there. She knew that the director didn't want to lose any of Ashelia's team nor did he want Ashe to quit.
"I'm not going to quit, director. Jace is not going to get the satisfaction that he got what he wanted from me." Ashe growled.
The director smiled at the fact that Ashe wasn't going to quit. He was very happy to have Ashe in the BAU.
"Calm down, Agent Clearwater. We will get this guy for harrassing a federal agent. We got his cell number. So we are going to find that fucker with the GPS on his cell phone. And Gibbs has found your sadistic half brother. He is here at the place of which you work. And luckily Seth and Zidane put him in custody before he could fire any rounds off from the nine millimeter he had in his jacket. He keeps saying he wants to meet his eldest sister." the director explained.
Ashe walked out of her office and soon spotted Seth and Zidane. She spotted a young man with them that had his hands cuffed behind his back.
"Jace Adrian Swan! You sick son of a bitch. You have the nerve to tell me what the fuck to do. Half brother or not you mean nothing to me at all. And you didn't get anywhere by trying to tell me what to do. And on a final note before my husband and coworker take you to a holding cell. I would like to tell you one thing. I AM ASHELIA DANIELLE CLEARWATER! I am not going to satisfy your need to ruin my life. Not now not ever, Jace Adrian." Ashe growled.
Jace looked at Ashe and let out a low ferral growl. He noticed the blonde hair and blue eyes. He didn't see any of their father in her.
"You aren't Ashelia. You can't be Ashelia." Jace growled.
Ashe handed her gun to Storjohann she pulled out her badge and filled in the gap between her and her half brother and thrust her badge in his face.
"Is that proof enough for you, Jace. I am Ashelia Danielle Clearwater. I am Charlie Swan's daughter. So don't say I'm not. Seth, Zidane take this nut job to his cell." Ashe growled.
Edward was sitting outside waiting for Seth and Ashe. He was shocked to see a smile on Ashe's face. Then he read her thoughts.
"So Jace Adrian is now going to federal prison for harrassing a federal agent. That's awesome, guys. At least we wont have to worry about him." Edward stated.
Ashe looked at Edward and nodded. She knew that it was a habit of his. It didn't really bother her that much because she was used to Edward picking her brain.
"Yes. He got what he deserved for harrassing a federal agent and threatening family of the same federal agent because not only did he want Seth and Jesikah dead he also wanted you and Renesmee dead as well he didn't want Bella or I happy with you or Seth." Ashe explained.
Seth saw the look in Edward's eyes and knew that Edward wanted to kill Jace Adrian. He also knew that if Edward did so humans would figure out he was a vampire.
"What's going on, Seth? Edward please stop growling your scaring Jesikah and Renesmee. Hopefully our half brother is in jail." Bella wondered.
Ashe nodded. She knew Edward was pissed about what he had just learned.
"Edward is growling because Jace Adrian doesn't want either of his half sisters happy aka he wants Edward, Nessie, Jesikah and myself dead. Oh where's Jake? Didn't he imprint on Nessie?" Seth curiously explained.
Bella pointed to the woods beside the house and could see Jake perfectly fine. He, of course, was in wolf form to protect everyone.
"So Jace Adrian is in federal prison. For harrassing a federal agent and threatening the family of a federal agent." Edward stated.
Ashe nodded. She was happy for the fact that her sadistic half brother, Jace Adrian Swan, was in federal prison.
"Yes. And thank god too. He was going to murder every member of my team if I didn't quit my job, divorce Seth, and drown Jesikah. And Bells can tell you that Leah Rivers tried to pull the same shit right after I got married to Mitchell and had James. She wanted the same things from me that Jace wanted. But Jace also wanted Edward and Nessie dead as well." Ashe responded.
Zidane watched as Ashe and Seth walked into the office. He noticed the bounce in Ashe's step. He could tell taht she was happy about where her sadistic half brother had finally gone to prison for what he had done.
"Hey, Clearwater. Yes I am talking to both of you. You both look happy. I bet you both are glad that Jace is where he is." Zidane stated.
Ashe looked at Zidane and nodded. She knew that her team saw the difference in Ashe because she wasn't in shock because of Jace.
"Hey, Zidane. Yeah I am happy that Jace Adrian is in federal prison. He deserves to be there because of his idiocy." Ashe answered.
Storjohann walked over and smiled at Seth and Ashe. He, like Zidane, saw the difference in Ashe and knew that the case that was ready for them in her office.
"Ashe, we have a new case. The file, of course, is in your office. And, of course, the file is on your desk too, Seth." Storjohann stated.
Ashe and Seth both nodded. Seth walked over to his desk to grab the case file. He walked back over to Ashe and Storjohann.
"Phoenix, Arizona. The Phoenix PD say that they have a psychopath on their hands and they would like our help to catch the fruitloop." Seth stated.
Ashe looked at the case file from under Seth's arm. She looked at the case pictures of a young man. She could see that his jugular was severed.
"He bleed to death and so did the seven other men. This isn't the first time that we have had to deal with a psychopath. There was one case in Orlando with a psychopath who had murdered almost all of the prostitutes there. It took us almost three weeks to catch the fucker." Ashe explained.
Seth shook his head at the thought that there would be a possibility that this could lead to them chasing a psychopath.
"We may want to inform Bella and Edward, Ashelia." Seth stated.
Bella looked at her cell and noticed that Seth was calling her. She answered it.
"Yeah, Seth. Whats up? You normally never call while you're at work. Is something wrone with Ashelia?" Bella asked.
Seth sighed. He knew that she would worry about her sister.
"Ashe is fine, Bells. We just wanted to inform you and Edward that we were going out on a BAU case and we don't know how long we're gonna be gone. Could you keep Jesikah safe while we're gone?" Seth asked.
Bella smiled when she heard Seth say that her sister was fine.
"Yeah. We can keep Jesikah safe. Don't worry. She's our niece and we take care of our family. Let us know when you two get back to Quantico." Bella answered.
"Thanks, Bells. It means a lot to both Ashe and myself. I can't thank you enough for doing this, Bells." Seth stated and hung up.
Ashe looked over the case file as she sat down in her usual spot on the plane but missed the seat entirely and fell to the floor.
"Damn it all to hell and back. I think this plane seriously hates me. It seems to think it's fun to move my damn seat." Ashe growled.
Seth helped Ashe up into her seat. He knew that Ashe would be furious if he started laughing.
"Ashe. The schematics of the plane haven't changed since the plane was manufactured. The plane isn't out to get you or anything like that. You were absorbed in the case file and just missed your seat by a few inches is all. Don't be mad at me, the plane, yourself, or the team." Seth explained.
Storjohann watched the whole interatction between his coworkers. He never thought he would hear Ashe curse at the plane before but he knew that it was all because of the fact that she was under a lot of stress with the job and being away from her newborn daughter.
"Ashe, it's okay. Your daughter is going to be fine. She is with your sister and brother-in-law. You know Jesikah Renae is safe." Storjohann stated.
Ashe looked at Storjohann and nodded. She knew that he was trying to help her completely understand taht her daughter wasn't going to see any harm.
"Thanks, Landon. You're a great friend. I don't know what I would do without you or Seth on this team. Well shall we try to profile this psychopathic son of a bitch." Ashe explained.
Storjohann nodded. He looked down at the case file and looked at the pictures.
"Each guy is in their thirties and built for sports. They were all murdered by having their necks slashed open by a meat cleaver. Each scene the meat cleaver was left with the body." Kails exclaimed.
"Which means that our psychopath gets the knife from the kitchen. He or she knows the men that he or she is killing. This psychopath needs to be found. Hopefully this idiot is easy to find." Zidane stated.
"You should know by now that a psychopath like this one is hard to catch. They love to play hide and seek." Ashe explained.
