Undercover Family
I would love to hear your opinions and look to working further on the story.
I do not own or have connection with the "Criminal Minds" program or its characters.
Chapter Two.
Arriving in Rockford, they get a room at the Holiday Inn. The room has two queen size beds and the doctor had a rolling cot and a crib brought to the room. The agents arrive in the room and are confused by who will be sleeping where. The doctor has arranged this and has not informed yet of what ages they will be. She asks JJ to be first to bathe. She informs that they will each be allowed five minutes to shower, because everybody has to bathe and it would be good if everybody could have at least some warm water. JJ goes to the bathroom and the others begin to sit around the room and wait. After one minute, the doctor goes into the bathroom and discusses with JJ about how she is to shower. She is to spread this particular type of soap all over her body except her head which is covered in a shower cap. The soap stays on for 60 seconds and then it is to be washed off. The doctor injects a clear liquid by syringe into JJs upper left arm. She leaves the bathroom to give JJ some privacy while she showers. A few minutes later, she re-enters and inspects the agent's body and gives her a nightgown to wear to bed. The soap is formulated to remove hair from all parts of the body. Each agent must be denuded of hair to fully achieve the desired effect that they are children. This process of showering will be followed for each agent. When JJ is finished, Emily goes in and takes her shower and the process is continued, for Spencer, Derek, Penelope, David and finally Aaron. The agents were really not happy at how she did this to them, but they did agree to the case. Only Penelope was not denuded completely of hair as she is the agent that will not be under the age of twelve.
Doctor: "Now that you are clean and ready to be processed into the age that you will be portraying for this case. It was a difficult decision to really decide what you would best represent and how you being that age can really enhance the effectiveness of this case. As you were told earlier, five of you will be between the ages of four and twelve, one of you will be over the age of twelve, and one of you will be younger than four. I want to explain why not all of you will be in the age group for kidnapping before I give you your age. I want someone older in the case that someone needs to help the children out if is necessary to do so, someone who can be the adult in the situation. I believe that the children who have been taken are still alive. A prototype of my device was stolen shortly before the children started to disappear, the person whom I believe stole it, lives in this area. But he has not been found I think he is utilizing the device to hide where he is keeping the children. I need to find the device and be able to disable it. I want to be able to have an older agent to get the children out and I want a dependant younger agent to be young enough to act clingy and have separation anxiety so that I can utilize that agent to help me disable the device. He has to be very young to do that. That is why one of you will be a baby, actually more of a young toddler. Please be aware that the agent that I chose for this position was chosen because I believe they can handle the stress of being that age for whatever length of time this may take. You will age, if your birthday comes while we are undercover, you will turn whatever comes next. The ages that I have chosen are 4, 5, 8, 11, 12, 19 and the toddler. The toddler will begin their age tonight; the remainder will be in the morning. Penelope will be our older child at 19; she will be attending college in Chicago, which is just two hours away by train. The story is that my husband and I had her at a young age and then waited until we more settled to have more children, seven years later; we would have another daughter, who is now 12 and is in sixth grade, that person will be JJ. A year later, our first son will be born, he is 11 and in the fifth grade, David. A few years later, another son is born; he is now 8 and is in the second grade, Derek. Now I know that you may think there may be a problem because of your skin coloration. It won't, device will give the illusion that you are a full member of the family. You will look like a white little boy and given more of the skin color of your mother. Next is our five year old little girl, Emily, she is in kindergarten and will be six in just a few months.
We now have two agents left, the youngest, who is a genius and of the course, the boss man. I will let you two think about which you would choose to be and why I need one of you at a certain age."
She goes and takes a break in the bathroom, while the agents discuss this.
Hotch: "Reid, you will be the four year old, I will be youngest child."
Morgan: "Hotch, you can't be serious. You are the boss; you should not be lying in a crib, wearing a diaper and dependent upon other people."
Reid: "Thanks, you think I should be doing that."
Morgan: "I didn't say that, but you are not the boss and it is just wrong to do that to the boss."
Hotch: "Thank you for that assessment Morgan, however, if the doctor is right about why she wants someone of that age, then I would be the best person for her to do the job with. So far she has been completely honest and forthright with us. She is not trying to humiliate me or anyone else. What is being done is for the best of the case. I need to be the dependant one because I think that's who she wants to be with her at that time. I need to be the baby for the case. However, that does not make me less of the boss when it's necessary. Remember, our abilities and memories will be with us and quite useable." The doctor comes back in and looks around at the agents. Her expression is questioning what their decision will be.
Hotch: "I have decided to become the baby. What is it that I have to do?"
Doctor: "Thank you for making the best decision for the case, I was hoping you would accept that role. That makes Spencer four years old. Now, I don't know about you but I'm hungry. Why don't we order something in and then go to bed. Aaron, we can take care of you after dinner, if we do it before hand, you will not get dinner."
Hotch: "After dinner then." JJ has looked up some of the places that deliver to the hotel. They agree on pizza and pasta dishes with soda. Emily is making coffee; she is making sure she gets her last cup before she becomes a child again. She has a feeling that the doctor will keep them on a strict child style menu and drinks. (She will be right.)
A few hour later, all of the agents were feeling well fed and having a cup of coffee, JJ had to take a quick shower and change her pajamas when Morgan threw a pillow at her and she spilled her coffee all over herself. He had to change his pajamas when she retaliated by pouring a pitcher of water over his head. That's when Hotch stepped in and said you start being children tomorrow, not tonight. All of the agents threw something at him laughing. The doctor was enjoying the scene and pleased that she made the right choice in this unit of people that was chosen for this job.
She does begin to take control though.
Doctor: "It is time for bed, it is past 11 and I think you could all use a good night sleep before you begin your new lives. The three women will be in the bed by the wall and the three men will be in the bed by the bathroom."
Rossi: "There are four men."
Doctor: "Aaron will be in the crib and I have the rollaway. Figure it out amongst yourselves as to how you want to sleep in the beds." She gets up and heads to the bathroom with a bag that the others had not seen, she pointedly looks at Aaron. He gets up and follows her to the bathroom. In the bathroom, she opens the bag which appears to have these straps that look like watches but are not. These are the illusion makers. She turns and looks at Aaron.
Doctor: "Are you ready for this?"
Hotch: "Let us do this." She places the strap on his wrist, it is locked into place and it cannot be removed unless with a special key. She turns toward the laptop and punches in a code that would activate the device. Once activated, Hotch doesn't really any changes, he looks at himself in the mirror and he looks the same to his eyes. The doctor turned around and smiled widely as she realizes that it worked. She places her hands on Aaron's waist and proceeds to lift as if he weighed nothing at all. She placed him on her left hip and he put his legs around her waist. When he looks at them in the mirror, it appears that she is holding a grown man with ease. When they walk out of the bathroom, the rest of the team find it amazing to see their boss looking like a child of about 15 months old. The doctor takes Aaron to the table and proceeds to place a diaper on him and a child's sleeper. He feels silly because when he looks at her doing this to him in the mirror over the dresser, he sees himself as a full grown man being diapered and put into a sleeper.
That is the interesting thing about the illusion devices. The people wearing them will continue to see the world as adults or actually as it really is, while people who are not wearing them will see what the illusion that the device creates.
The doctor sits in the chair at the table and proceeds to hold Aaron has a baby and places the nipple of a bottle into his mouth. Instinctively, he begins to suck the bottle. Every member of the team is watching this with great interest. When he has finished the bottle, she places him in the crib and covers him. She turns to the six agents on the bed.
Doctor: "I thought I told you to go to bed." She goes to girls' bed and proceeds to tuck each of the girls in, the boys came next. On the girls' bed, they chose to have Penelope on the outside next to the wall, Emily was put in the middle and JJ was on the outside next to the space between the beds. The boys had David on the outside next to the space between the beds, with Spencer between him and Derek on the outside next to the bathroom. After tucking them all in, the Doctor turned off the lights and laid down on her bed to go to sleep.
I hope that you are enjoying this as much as I am writing it. I will continue.
