Chapter 9

Finding the window Derek walked to it and began to try and lift it but it didn't move.

"Damn! This isn't going to work Dave. It's locked."

Just then to Derek's surprise a little face appeared in the window looking out at the men with a worried expression.

"Who's that?" Rossi asked surprised.

"I bet that's Williams' son." Will said going to the window and pointing up to the lock.

The little boy reached up and turned the knob and stepped back as Will pushed the window up.

"What's your name son?" He asked.

"Mason Williams. My daddy has my teacher in the classroom and he has a gun." The frightened boy whispered.

"Come here son. We will get you and your teacher out."

Mason climbed out of the window into Will's arms and began to cry once he was safely outside with the officers.

"What happened in there little guy?" Morgan asked.

"My daddy came to pick me up after school. When he got in the room he locked the door and hit Mrs Hotchner. He then made me go in that room. I don't know what he did to her after that."

"Mason, this nice officer is going to take you to the other side of the building while we go in and get Mrs Hotchner." Morgan said giving Dave a worried look.

Mason left with the officer as Derek, Will, Dave and two of the police officers climbed in the window.

Once they were all in they got in position and got ready to move into the room and get Chrisy out.


Turning the knob quietly the door opened to the room. Derek could see Trent pacing around nervously but didn't have a view of Chrisy. As Trent moved around more Derek could tell she wasn't in the line of fire. Motioning to the others they darted out of the store room.

"FBI!" Derek yelled.

Trent turned and lifted his gun and Derek fired hitting Trent in the shoulder dropping him to the ground. Will and Derek rushed over to subdue him as Dave took off to find Chrisy lying on the floor behind her desk with her clothes ripped from her.

"Oh god! Chrisy." Dave gasped seeing her in that state.

He pulled off his jacket and draped it over her getting down to try to get her to respond to him.

"We need the medics in here now!" Dave shouted over his talkie.

"How's Chrisy?" Will asked not having a clear view of her.

Dave just turned to the two concerned men and shook his head. Derek closed his eyes knowing just what must have happened.

Trent who was writhing around on the floor in pain stopped and began to laugh obnoxiously.

"She was a great fuck." He sighed.

"You son of a bitch. You're going to be known as a great fuck where you're going." Derek yelled grabbing Trent by his shirt collar and twisting it.

JJ came running in behind the medics and rushed over to where Dave was with Chrisy.

"Oh no." She gasped seeing the battered woman on the ground.

JJ got down beside Chrisy trying to tuck Dave's jacket in around her exposed body. The female medic got down on the floor and began to check Chrisy's vitals. Once the quick exam was completed Chrisy was loaded on a stretcher to be taken out to the waiting ambulance.

JJ, Dave and Derek followed Chrisy and the medics out while Will and the other officers waited with Trent.

"What about me? I'm bleeding here!" Trent griped.

"You can bleed to death for all I care." Will sneered.


Once Chrisy was loaded onto on the ambulance JJ climbed in the back with her and they were off to the hospital.

"Come on Morgan. We need to tell Hotch what happened." Dave said closing his eyes.

The two men walked to the police cruiser that was holding Aaron and opened the door.

"Damn it Dave! You let them take her without getting me first!" Aaron yelled shoving his way out of the car.

"Aaron we are going right behind them but there's something I need to tell you first." Dave began.

"Then say it Dave! I need to get to my wife!"

"She was raped Aaron."

"What did you just say?"

"He raped her."

Aaron's eyes squinted with disbelief. He couldn't have heard that correctly. This couldn't have happened to Chrisy. She was strong and a fighter. Pushing his fingers through his hair and swallowing hard he looked over to Dave to make sure he was really telling him the truth. The hurt look in Dave's eyes told him he was.

"Where's Jack?" Aaron asked softly.

"With Prentiss and Reid."

"Give me a minute."

Aaron felt the tears stinging at his eyes as he looked over to his son who was sitting on Emily's lap. He could see that Jack was very upset and Emily was doing her best to offer comfort. Wiping at his eyes Aaron began to walk to his son. He had no idea what he was going to tell him.

"Hey Jack, I need to go to the hospital to be with your mommy." Aaron began still not sure what he was going say.

"Daddy what happened to her?"

"Well, that man hurt her and she needs a doctor to look at her."

"Is she going to be alright?"

"She will Jack." He said not sure if she would be himself. "Prentiss? Would you mind taking Jack to the house?"

"No not at all Hotch. Reid why don't you come with us?" Emily asked Spencer.

"Ok." Spencer half smiled.

Aaron could see the fear and concern in Spencer's eyes. He knew Reid would rather be at the hospital but agreed to stay with Jack and Emily.

"Thanks both of you." Aaron said softly. "Jack you go hang out with Emily and Spencer while I go and take care of your mommy."

Aaron reached out and pulled Jack into his arms and hugged him tightly. The idea of seeing Chrisy after what she had just been through was making him feel sick.


Dave and Derek went with Aaron to the hospital. When they arrived at the ER the nurse led them into a private waiting room.

"Your wife is being examined right now. Her friend is with her." The nurse told Aaron.

"I want to see her."

"I'll come get you once the doctor has finished. It won't be much longer."

The nurse stepped out of the room as Aaron sank down in the chair putting his face in his hands. He fought every urge in him to cry but it was loosing the battle. The tears dripped through his fingers and landed on his pant legs soaking into the dark fabric quickly. It was killing him not to be with her but he also didn't know how he will react to seeing her.

After what seemed like an eternity which actually really was about twenty minutes the nurse tapped on the door and opened it.

"Mr Hotchner you can come see your wife now."

Aaron sucked in a big breath and stood up then followed the nurse out of the room and where his wife was.


JJ was sitting next to Chrisy who was still laying on the exam table with her head turned away from the door. When JJ saw Aaron she got up and walked over to him.

"She hasn't said a word Hotch."

"What do you mean?"

"She won't talk. She has this blank stare in her eyes. The doctor tried asking her questions but she won't answer any of them."

Aaron looked up to the ceiling trying to fight the tears again. JJ reached out and placed her hand on his forearm. She knew how hard this must be for him.

"Where's the doctor?" Aaron asked gaining control of his emotions.

"She said she would be back to talk with you once you've had a chance to see Chrisy. I'm going to give you some privacy."

JJ stepped out as Aaron walked over to Chrisy. She still had her head turned looking at the wall.

"Chrisy?"

Hearing Aaron's voice she turned her head to where he was standing. He let out a gasp seeing her bruised and battered face. Her cheek was swollen and her lip was cut and she had a black eye that was almost swollen shut.

"Aaron?"

"Hey baby." He said softly relieved that she was speaking. "Are you in any pain?"

"No."

"Are you sure?" He asked seeing the bruises on her arms and neck as well.

"I'm fine. I want to go home."

"We need to wait until the doctor says you can."

"Then go find her please."

"Ok." He said wanting to just wrap her up in his arms and carry her out of there and take her home.

Just as he turned to leave he saw JJ come back into the room with the doctor.

"Hotch this is Dr Stevens." JJ introduced.

"Hello Mr Hotchner."

"Aaron, please."

"Aaron, could I have a word with you?" Dr Stevens asked. "I have some questions that Christine won't answer."

"Sure."

"I'll stay here with Chrisy." JJ said.

"Thank you JJ." Aaron said following the doctor out in the hall.


"Let's step into the private waiting room you were in before." Dr Stevens said walking to the room.

When they entered Dave was still sitting in there waiting for his friend. When Dave saw the doctor he got up to leave.

"No Dave I'd actually like it if you stayed."

"Are you sure Aaron?" He asked.

"Yes. Where's Morgan?"

"He went to go call Garcia and get something to drink."

Aaron nodded. "Doctor this is my friend Dave."

The doctor nodded and sat down while Aaron sat down across from her.

"Aaron, your wife was raped." She began.

"Yes I know."

"Is Christine on birth control?"

"No. Oh god." Aaron said looking up rolling his eyes. "We're trying to have a baby."

"How long have you been trying?"

"A little over two months."

"The reason I ask is I need to know if I should give her the morning after pill. Since it is possible that she could already be pregnant I'll need to test her."

"If it comes back negative give it to her." Aaron said.

"When was the last time you had sex?"

"Four nights ago."

"She could have conceived then Aaron and it won't show on a pregnancy test yet."

"I won't take the chance that she got pregnant by that asshole. Chrisy would never be able to raise a child from rape. I would never ask her to."

"Are you sure about this Aaron?"

"Yes. Test her and if it's negative give her the pill."

"I'll get a blood sample right away." The doctor said getting up and leaving the room.

Dave watched his friend rub his eyes trying to control himself. He was at a loss as to how to help him.

"Aaron? Can I get you anything?" Dave asked.

"Ten minutes alone with that son of a bitch Williams."

"I'm sure he is getting first class treatment from Will and the other officers as we speak."

"What if he gave her a disease? Can we have him tested just to make sure?"

"I'm sure that can be arranged. Why don't you go back with Chrisy now."

"God Dave I don't know how to deal with this. She looks so….broken."

"There are no rules on how to deal with this Aaron. You have every right to be angry and hurt and scared. Just be there for her and get her and yourself some counseling. You will both need it."

"Can you do me a favor and call Prentiss and check on Jack for me?"

"Sure Aaron."

When Aaron left the room Dave pulled out his cell but before calling Emily he made another call.

"Will? It's Dave. I need you to do something for me."
