Ch 14 : Tommy and Shelley
"How could I miss?" he roared
He roughly yanked the cabinet door in his bathroom. Pulling stuff out till he found the small first aid box. He grabbed it and went back to his bed. He took the antiseptic and some gauze and went over to his mirror.
"She should be dead. Stupid taxi driver! Stupid bitch! Hotch won't even get that it is all about him. Idiot." He sneered.
He winced slightly as he cleaned his cut. He growled and threw the bloody gauze down and went to get a bandage from the box. He shook his head as he pictured the stupid black man and the lucky Prentiss looking around clueless.
"How did they make the 'oh so special BAU' and I don't even get second look."
He continued to rant and rave. He managed to work himself in to such a frenzy he smashed the mirror. It shattered into a million pieces. He cut up his hand and didn't even notice.
"Did you hear that?" Tommy at asked.
"If I say no I don't have to go, right?"
"Barry go on it is your turn. I answered the phone so you have to go this time."
"Ok what about if we send Shelly when she comes back from break. I think we can wait the few minutes."
"You were talking about me again?"
"Yep you know we love you to bits. Shell …"
"What do you want now?"
"There was a loud noise in room 102, could you please check on it?"
"What? Why doesn't one of you two smucks go?"
"Em because we are lazy bums. Please"
"Fine but you both owe me one favour." Shelley laughed as she turned and grabbing the keys for the first floor left the boys sitting at the receptionist desk.
"Reception" Shell announced as she knocked on the door. "We heard a noise. If you don't respond we will call the police."
She waited and knocked again. "Reception" she was in the process of raising her hand for th third knock when the door opened.
"Hey sorry I broke a mirror. I'm sorry. I will pay for it of course."
"Oh ok. Are you ok? Your hand is bleeding I can help you patch it up if you want."
"Oh thanks that would be great. As you can see" he gestured to his head " it is not my day"
"Poor you! What happened?" she asked as she stepped through the door and closed it behind her.
"Well I tried to smash into a car to kill a FBI agent so another FBI agent would feel some pain since he caused me so much pain but I missed by fractions and just crashed into a pole. Oops I wasn't meant to tell you that" he smiled his most sinister smile at her.
She looked around and tried to make it to the door "I think I better go and tell Tommy and Barry not to call the police. I'll be right back." She had her hand on the door handle when he grabbed her hair dragged her to the bed and stifled her screams with his mouth.
"Tommy, Shelley is taking a long time."
"Oh pur-lease you think nay minute away from your precious Shelley is too long"
"Shut up. I haven't asked her out yet. But I will really soon. I just have to wait for the right time."
"Sure you do and I have to go and cure cancer then collect my three Oscars awards from Robert Pattinson. Seriously though, you should ask her out. I am pretty sure she likes you"
"Really? I don't know. Well either way she should have come back to us by now. I am going to check."
"OK but hurry back. And no smooching on the job" Barry laughed but promptly stopped when Tommy hit him on the arm as he passed by.
A second later Tommy popped his head back in "And don't think I didn't notice the Twilight reference"
Barry chuckled to himself. "Oh man I thought I got away with it."
Tommy shook his head and ran up to the first floor.
He knocked on room 102. "Reception"
NO answer.
"Shelley?"
On the other side of the door
They both froze. He looked at her and put his finger to her mouth. "Ssshhh" he mouthed.
She looked at him wide eyed and screamed "Toooooommmmmmmmmmmy"
He punched her straight across the face and knocked her out cold. But it was enough for Tommy.
He stepped back and kicked the door down. He charged in but the sight of Shelley on the bed stopped him dead. Then from behind he was knocked on the head.
"Sir can you hear me ?"
Tommy looked around 'What was that light' he thought fleetingly.
"Hey stay awake stay with me. Can you tell me your name?"
"Its tommy eh tom eh timothy" interjected barry. "and she is Shelley"
The paramedic glanced towards the bed and nodded.
"Ok lets get them to the hospital."
