Chapter 12: Bombshell

Rossi prepared himself to go into the room. Hotch had requested him for the interview with JJ. He knew exactly why. They were good friends and trusted one another. Rossi wished he didn't have to do this. Somehow, he was personally involved with JJ as well. He had seen Hotch breaking down over JJ. Everything he heard about the blonde made him realize she was a really good person. He had seen Hotch struggling for six years. He had seen everyone struggling. He joined the unit a few months after JJ's disappearance. Taking Gideon's place wasn't easy at all, but it was like coming home for him. He just never expected to step into a broken family. He never experienced people who were so close on the job. It was really rare for their jobs. But it was a good thing.

Rossi turned around one more time. He looked at Hotch and he got a nod from him, but the hurt in his eyes said enough. Rossi slowly put his hand on the door knob and he opened the door. He saw JJ's eyes flash immediately. Her eyes were filled with distrust and she had every reason to look at him like that.

Rossi approached the bed and stopped next to the chair. ''Hello Jennifer.'' he greeted. ''I'm agent Rossi.'' he introduced.

''You can call me JJ.'' she said hoarsely, recognizing the familiar face in front of her. ''I know you. I've read all of your books.''

''Really?'' he asked with surprise. ''I sometimes wonder if I wrote them for serial killers to use them. I experienced a few cases where the unsub told me how fascinating my books are and it freaks me out.''

JJ was quite shocked with him. He actually seemed like a nice person. And he was easy to talk to. ''My senior year at Georgetown, I was graduating and I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life.'' she began. ''And one day I was in the campus bookstore and you where there. Promoting your second book?'' she said, noticing the change in his eyes. He looked quite emotional.

''I didn't know.''

''I asked you what you were most proud of. And you showed me a picture of a boy from Charleston.''

''Greg Roberts. A neighbor took him.''

''Yeah, I remember. You're the reason I joined the FBI. The pride in your expression when you talked about helping people, won me over. I applied to the academy after I read your book.''

''I'm glad some people see them as motivators.'' Rossi began. ''How are you feeling?'' he asked, beginning the conversation they needed to have. He immediately knew JJ was a caring person. She was easy to talk to and she was nice. Not to mention breathtakingly beautiful. Even though she was injured. It wasn't a surprise that Hotch had fallen for her. He could see everything Hotch had talked about in their conversations.

''Can I ask you something before we start?''

''Of course.''

''Don't say anything to Hotch, please.''

''What do you mean?''

JJ sighed deeply before answering that question, knowing that Rossi knew what this was about. ''I know him. He asked you to do this because you two are friends and I respect that, but…I…'' she stumbled.

''What is it?''

''He doesn't need to everything. I have the right to privacy. I'm only doing this because people need to pay for their actions. There's no other reason.''

Rossi agreed. She was right. She had every right to her privacy and he wasn't about to invade more than he had to already. ''I won't say anything to him, but we both know him. There's a one hundred percent chance that he will ask Penelope to dig up your statement. And I know that Penelope will listen to him.''

''I know, but thank you.'' she said kindly.

Rossi finally sat down in the chair. He had a notebook in his hand with a pen in the other. He was prepared to do this, but he didn't want to make JJ relive her nightmares. ''Tell me if you want to stop, okay?''

''I will.'' she reassured.

''Can you tell me what happened in the warehouse? What kind of business did they run in there?'' he asked, knowing most of the details. He had heard them from Anderson over the phone, but he also needed to hear them from JJ one more time.

JJ was already choking up before they even started. How could she possibly talk about all of this? What happened in there? Well, my life was taken from me there! The thoughts kept racing through her head. She cleared her throat. ''They auctioned of girls to clients. The auctions only took place during the week. Never in the weekends.'' she answered.

''What kind of clients? Where they different every single day?''

''Some girls had regulars and others didn't. It was different all the time.''

''What about you? Did you have any regulars?'' he asked carefully. He didn't want to sound clinical.

JJ closed her eyes and a tear ran down her cheek. She wiped it away before responding. ''Yes.'' she answered simply.

''Do you remember any names?''

''I only had one regular.'' she replied. ''It was Charlie.''

''Is this him?'' Rossi asked, showing her a picture of the man who had showed up with information on JJ. He was the one who initially saved her by coming forward.

''That's Charlie.'' she confirmed, looking at the picture.

''One of our agents already talked to him.'' he began. ''Charlie claims that he never hurt you in any way. But he also said he saw you every single day during the week for four years.'' he explained. He didn't believe what Charlie claimed. It was impossible. ''What did he do to you?''

''Charlie never did anything to me. If anything he's the one person who kept me sane in the past six years.''

''Are you saying he didn't pay to be with you?''

JJ shook her head. So much happened. She knew she could never explain everything. ''Yes, he did but he never hurt me.'' she explained patiently. ''He was the first person who paid for time with me. That first time we just talked. And he kept coming back after that, but it stopped after four years. One day he just didn't show up and he never came back again.''

''So, you are telling me that Charlie paid for your time every single day, but he never had sex with you?''

''Yes, during the week. He never had sex with me. He never forced me to do anything and I don't know why.''

''Okay,'' Rossi stated firmly. ''What happened on the weekends?''

Another tear fell from JJ's face. The weekends were hell. They were the nightmares and of course the last two years. ''In the weekend there were private sessions.'' she croaked out. ''I was the only one who had to do something on the weekends.''

''What happened?'' he asked with a compassionate tone in his voice. He could see JJ was closing up. He had finally hit the subject where most of her pain was hidden.

''I was his favorite girl from the start!'' she replied. ''I was special. That's what he said every single time.''

''Who?''

''The guy who was in charge of everything. I was his pet. His personal toy. He always got jealous when someone else would touch me.''

''What's his name?''

''Steven Hicks.'' she cried out as a shiver went down her spine. She couldn't stop it. The name terrorized her, and it always would.

''Do you want to stop?''

''No,'' she began. ''I want to finish this.''

''Okay. What did this guy do to you?''

JJ clenched her hands together. Was she really going to admit it? Was she going to be called a victim? Could she even say the word?

''He raped me repeatedly.'' she whispered. ''Constantly. Over and over again.''

''I know this is hard, but the doctor found multiple semen samples when you were examined. When were you raped by other men?''

''It started after Charlie left. So, it started about two years ago. At first it were his friends and later on I was sold to strange men.'' she cried out, remembering the hurt. It was like every ounce of pain suddenly struck her body and the panic was back.

Rossi knew this was the moment to stop. He knew some major details and he knew a name of the person who was in charge. For now, it was more than enough.

''I think it's enough for now. You did good, JJ.'' he said softly as he rose from the chair. ''Do you want me to stay?''

''No, I just need to be alone right now.''

Rossi walked out as he heard her sobs from behind him. He knew she was acting very brave, but it still got to him. He closed the door behind and he noticed that Hotch was immediately focused on him.

''How did it go?'' Hotch asked curiously as he stood in front of his friend.

''She was brave.'' Rossi started. ''She wants to be alone for now.'' he explained. ''JJ confirmed Charlie's statement. Everything he said is true. And she also gave me the name of person who was in charge. His name is Steven Hicks.''

''Thanks, Dave.''

''Of course.''

''Emily, Reid and Garcia went to the station to help with the investigation. Derek promised to stick around and keep an eye on JJ while they're gone. I want to go to the station as well to find this bastard.'' he said angrily.

''I understand. I will stay here to.''

''Thanks.'' Hotch said as he turned around to leave the hospital. He had a name. He knew who hurt JJ. On the inside he wanted to kill this person, but that wasn't the right thing to do. Revenge was never a solution.
