BANG BANG BANG
AN: Thanks for the reviews hope you enjoy. I own nothing.
Soon as Nick had found the envelope and took it to Derek, the team had started working on trying to find where Foyet was at. They knew he was close by, and if he'd left Derek the pictures of his family they all knew that he wasn't going to just go after Hotch this time, he was going back to finish what he'd started when he hadn't killed Derek after he took care of trying to hurt Hotch.
Nick was staying with Haley and the kids while another Marshall was staying at Derek's house. He wanted to be there with them to protect them himself, but he had to find the bastard that had started all this. Once he caught him then he would take few days to spend with his family until then Derek was going to do his best to find The Reaper and keep his family safe.
Nick locked the back door so that he knew nobody could get in. He'd told Haley to stay upstairs with the kids till he had the down stairs secured. He'd locked the basement up made sure that nobody could get in. He wasn't taking chances he had another Marshall staying with Penelope and Derek's kids at the moment. He didn't trust enough to think that Foyet wouldn't go after them as well.
Once he had the back door locked he went to the windows making sure they were all locked as well. Then he went upstairs to where Haley was at. "I got all the doors and windows locked," he said, "I want to get you out of here though, this isn't safe," Nick said.
"I can't leave Aaron," Haley said.
"He already agreed for you three to go into witness protection, he can't live with you dead, Haley, he can leave with knowing you are safe, but not dead," Nick said, "I'm being nice here, I'm staying here with you, but this can't go on forever and you know it, either he gets bolder and comes here or he keeps taunting Aaron, Derek too now," Nick said, "Since I was little Derek's watched out for me, I've watched out for him too, and you are family to him, that means your family to me, Haley, I won't let you die," he said.
Haley knew he was right, but she didn't want to leave Aaron knowing it might be long time before she could come back to him. "Okay, I'll go," Haley said finally, "I want to see Aaron first," she said, "Can you take us there please, then I'll go," she said.
"Yeah, get some stuff packed I'll call Derek let him know we're coming there, I don't want Hotch coming here it's too risky," Nick replied stepping out the room letting her pack. He called Derek and after second ring the line went completely dead. "What the heck?" Nick asked all it was now was static, "Damn it," he said looking down at his phone. He went over to the land line, but he didn't use it, knowing it was too risky; he had no way of telling Derek that he was coming.
"Does your phone still work?" Haley asked coming out the bedroom, "Mine won't go through," she said.
"Does Hotch have any guns here?" Nick asked, "Besides his for work?" he asked.
"Derek has them locked up at his house in the cellar, where the kids can't get them, they didn't want to risk it," Haley said, "So no, he keeps his work guns in the safe," she said.
"What's the combo?" Nick asked.
"My birthday," Haley said before Nick went back in Haley's bedroom to the wall safe.
Hotch was looking at the pictures again that Derek had brought over the morning before. He was wishing that it was somebody else's family, anybody but his. Since he'd seen the pictures he couldn't stop thinking about Haley being taken away from him. Jack and Britney as well, he'd kept his family together this long, he'd worked out the problems that Haley and him ran into few years back.
He'd fought with everything in him to keep his marriage on solid ground, they still had small stiffs here and there, but it wasn't over work, it was the small things you laughed at later. Hotch didn't want to think that Foyet would go after Derek either, he knew if it did happen that Derek wasn't going to let him go, he'd take him down any means possible. He flipped on the evidence bags over that the pictures were in and froze in his chair.
They'd gone over all the pictures, before forensic had run them for prints, but he didn't remember this one. He got up going out the conference room where he'd been sitting since the meeting had ended.
"Was this picture in the envelope?" Hotch asked.
"What?" Derek asked before he took the picture, "That's my sister's house," Derek said, "She's at the hospital on call though, Ryan's down stairs at the day care," he said, "Nick's at your house," he said before taking out his phone, but Rossi walked in before he could call Nick.
"Foyet delivered those pictures no doubt," Rossi said, "The camera on the side Derek's house caught him," he said, "Penelope went through the footage, and he's been there more than last night," he replied, "Twice in the last week, but he always stayed away from the other cameras, without enhancing the pictures you wouldn't have known, he was so far away."
"He was watching Nick's house," Derek said, "He's got perfect view from there," he said, "I'm going to check in with Nick see if he convinced Haley to go with him," he replied before walking away after telling them to keep looking.
Haley had finished getting few things, she'd left her phone upstairs, and she couldn't take it with her that she knew. Jack and Britney were still in the nursery she was waiting before she got them. Jack had fallen asleep and she wanted to let him sleep while longer before they left.
"Having any luck?" she asked Nick, he'd been trying to get the phone to work again, but it wasn't.
"No, somebody's jamming the signal, I can't get through, and they can't call in," Nick said, "I'm going to take the stuff to the car then come get you and the kids, least amount of trips possible," he said.
"Okay," Haley said before Nick went out the door taking the three bags she'd packed one for her, Jack, and Britney. Haley was looking around at the pictures of Aaron and her with the kids. The living room was full the pictures of their family and extended family as well.
She's packed one of the pictures that they'd taken two months ago. It had the entire family in it. JJ, Will and Henry, Emily and Reid, Derek, Penelope and their five kids, Nick, Desiree and Ryan, Rossi, along with Aaron her, and their two kids. The kids had been holding their pets when the picture had been taken, so even they had been in the picture. It had been taken by Mark, who'd come over that day along with few other friends.
The phone ringing cut into her thoughts and she went to answer it. "Hello," she said.
"Is this Haley Hotchner?" the man asked on the other end.
Without thinking she answered, "Yes, who is this?" she asked.
"DON'T LET HIM IN," Nick cut in yelling into the phone as well before Haley heard gun shots.
Haley froze dropping the phone; she'd just heard Nick get shot and she knew he was probably dead. She bit back the tears before she finally got the shock shaken away enough to go to the door and make sure it was locked, but before she could get there it was kicked open. She stopped just before it hit her finding herself face to face with the man that tried to kill her husband and Derek as well.
"Hello Haley," Foyet said, "It's nice to finally meet you," he replied.
"You can't hurt me," Haley said.
"I can do a lot more than just hurt you," Foyet said, "Nick's dead and nobody will know that anything is wrong," he said.
"The neighbors heard the gun shots, they'll call the police, Aaron will come for us," Haley said.
"Sorry, yeah Aaron's dead too," Foyet said, "I took care him this morning," he said with sick smile hoping she'd believe it, "Derek won't know any difference when he calls and you tell him you went with Nick, and you will tell him that, the signal will be back up any second now," he replied.
Jack had woken up when he'd heard the gun shots, he'd went to see what was wrong but stopped at the top the stairs when the door had been kicked open. He listened to what the man down stairs had said; he took off to his bedroom soon as he'd heard that Nick and his dad were dead. He went as fast as he could. Once he got there he climbed onto his bed pulling the cell phone out of his pillow case before he took off to where he knew he'd be safe.
He climbed into his hiding place where he always hid when his dad was home working on things in his office. He hit the right buttons that Derek had taught him before hitting the call button. He shut the lid on the chest like that Hotch hadn't put anything in since Jack loved playing in it.
Derek was walking out The Director's office when his phone started ringing Mark was standing beside him they'd been walking back to the bull pen. Derek stopped before opening his phone. "Jack," he said he had specific ring tone for him, after what had happened few months back, he'd made sure that Jack knew how to work the phone he'd gotten him and set ring tone on his own phone so when he called he'd know it was him and answer it no matter where he was.
"Uncle Derek," Jack said into the phone, "Is daddy dead?" he asked.
"What?" Derek asked, "No, why would you think that?" Derek asked him.
"There is man down stairs, he told mommy that Nick and daddy were dead," Jack said.
"Listen to me, stay were you are at, Jack, I mean it, don't get out of there," Derek said, "I will be there in five minutes," Derek said.
"Okay," Jack said and Derek could tell that he was crying.
"Your dad isn't dead, Jack, I promise you that," Derek said, "I need you to hang the phone up so the bad man doesn't find you, okay," he said.
"I don't want to," Jack said.
"You have to stay safe and hidden, that means you have to hang up, I'll be there soon I promise you, and until your dad or I come and get you, don't leave," Derek said.
"I promise," Jack said before he hung the phone up.
"The bastard's there," Derek said, "I gotta go, get the rest the team there," he said before he took off towards the stairs going down them till he was in the garage. He got into his truck before he took off; he had to get there before Foyet did something to Haley and the kids.
"So where is your little boy at?" Foyet asked, "Upstairs with his baby sister?" he asked.
"No, he's with friend," Haley lied.
"It's not nice to lie to a man with a gun, I know he's in here somewhere, call him down here," Foyet said.
"No, you can kill me but don't you dare touch my kids," Haley said.
"Just you won't work, I mean I gotta make Aaron suffer, and then it's Derek's turn," he said with smile.
Haley bit back her tears; she knew there wasn't much chance of getting out of this. "What, you said he was dead," Haley said remembering what Foyet had just said.
"Oh did I, slight mistake, he's not dead yet, but he will be," he said, "Since I am reasonable, I'll let you say goodbye," he replied before he handed her Nick's phone he'd taken from him. Haley caught it looking down at it before she started dialing Aaron's number. She had her back to the window watching Foyet as he walked around before he came up behind her. "NOW," he shouted making her jump as she hit the send button on the phone.
Derek parked the truck around the corner and took off up to the fence that Hotch had up, he knew one spot that they hadn't gotten around to fixing yet that was loose. He pushed it forward before sliding through the opening, it was tight fit, but he got through it. Once he did he took off to the front the house dropping to the ground and crawling past the window that looked outside before he stood back up going to the driveway.
Nick was lying in front of the car, but unlike what Foyet thought, he wasn't dead. "Thank god," he said seeing Derek, "Haley's in the house we were trying to leave," he said.
"I gotta go help her, you going to be okay?" Derek asked.
"Doesn't matter, you have to save Haley, go," Nick said. Derek handed him his phone before he took off back to the side the house.
Hotch was talking to Rossi when Mark came into the bull pen, then man was almost sixty, but he was litterly running. "What's wrong?" Hotch asked before his phone rang, he saw Nick's number and picked up up, "Nick what's wrong?" he asked.
Foyet smiled to himself waiting for Haley to say something he turned around to check on what was going on outside and it was just in time to see Derek Morgan who came crashing through the living room window tackling him to the living room floor taking Haley down with them.
"Nick?" Hotch said again into the phone before he heard glass shattering and Haley screamed out. "HALEY," he yelled but right before the phone went dead he heard a gun shot.

AN: I don't know if I'll get to update tomorrow so I'm leaving you with a second chapter hope you enjoy. Derek pulled reverse Foyet and went through the living room window into the house this time instead of out of the house.
