Thank you all for staying with me and for writing the nice reviews.
My vacations are over, so the time between the chapters could be a little bit longer. :-*
Investigations
The Team looked very confused. So Aaron explained: "As you all know Amy is in the witness protection program of the FBI. After her first new identity was discovered, Cunningham was assigned to stay near to her and protect her."
"He taught me how to handle the P226, he gave me the pistol three month ago, because he thought somebody was watching us. Will trained me; he made sure that I was ready to protect me and my daughter." Amy interrupted.
"And he was right. Four weeks ago somebody broke into their house. When Amy woke up the unsubs had Rose already abducted from her room and Cunningham laid dead on the floor. A man hit her from behind, but not hard enough to knock her out. Because of her training Amy fought hard, could finally reached her pistol and shot the unsub into his leg. He fled into a car, a Transporter, and they drove away." Aaron looked concerned to Amy. To hear all this again brought her to the edge. He could see the tears in her eyes. But she was brave enough to try to complete the story.
"I hadn't a number to call, because Will did all that, and I couldn't call the police, because he also said there is no one to trust. I grabbed my stuff and made me on my way to Quantico to find someone at the FBI to help. When I arrived here, I had enough time to think about my situation. I finally decided to try to contact Petuchow to tell him, I wouldn't talk in court; I just wanted my girl back." Now the tears found their way and Aaron wished he could hold her in his arms. But right now the understanding touch from JJ had to be adequate. He took over the conversation.
"She saw a warehouse, which was under observation of the FBI, in the files Cunningham had in the house and over that information she made contact with some guys who work for Petuchow. He let her know that somebody would come to bring her to Rose. That's when Bogdanow showed up. But he wasn't there to bring her anywhere, he had the order to murder her."
"So he decided he could have some fun before he ended her life." JJ guessed.
Aaron nodded. "You're right. But somehow she came out of this situation."
"That's all still blurry." Amy said. "I remember the rape, but then something hit me and after that I have no Idea how I came to the park bank."
"So if Hotch hadn't found you.." Penelope started and Amy ended: "…I probably would be found by Petuchows men and I would be dead by now. So would Rose."
"We think Rose is safe as long as Amy is alive." Aaron explained.
"Petuchow uses Rose as leverage." Derek mentioned and JJ added, looking at Amy: "They know as long as they have Rose, you'll not talk."
Then Penelope remembered something. She looked into the file in her hand. "The crime scene investigation says, that nearby Bogdanows body were traces found that looked like of someone who limped."
"Maybe it was Bogdanow who was shot by Amy." Blake suggested. But Amy shook her head. "He was walking normal when he came to me that day." Thinking about that made her upset.
"Or he wasn't alone there and his company checked on him after he was murdered." Derek looked to Amy and then to Rossi who said: "Or murdered him by himself."
Aaron saw that Amy needed a break. But first they had to talk about the security breach.
"Besides Cunningham there were five people who knew about Amy." He told them.
"So we have five suspects." Dave noticed.
"And one of the five is Strauss." Aaron explained why his boss didn't wanted to get involved in the investigation.
"We are investigating against her?" JJ asked.
"We are investigating in every direction." Was Aaron's short answer. He gave everyone of the team a list with the other names. "This must be confidential. We must be very careful. If we are suspecting the wrong guy, that could be critical for us and for him. So find out what ever you can and we meet again tomorrow at eight o'clock."
On the way home Aaron hold Amy's hand the whole time. Even when they picked up Jack from his aunt Aaron didn't stop. The little boy wasn't surprised like his aunt. He just grabbed the other hand of Amy, smiling to her.
Later that evening he helped his dad making the dinner by chopping the carrots.
"Dad, does Katie have to go away?" he wanted to know.
"Her name is Amy, we talked about that, didn't we?" he said to his son softly.
Jack nodded. "Do you think you can make her stay? I mean here with us?" he enquired.
"I don't know." Aaron answered honestly. "She makes a great breakfast, right?" he smiled to his son.
"I like her very much." The boy told his father seriously.
"So do I, buddy."
Amy sat in her room and listened to the conversation between father and son. Aaron was a great father and she felt so comfortable around him and Jack that she wished, she wouldn't remember her past. It was all so complicated.
"Dinner is ready in a minute." Aaron appeared suddenly in her door. He recognized her sad face. "Are you all right?"
Amy stood up and went to him. For a brief moment he holds her in his arms, kissed her on her forehead. "We will find Rose." He said to her. Amy couldn't answer. She felt guilty for not telling him everything. She knew she had to. Soon.
