The phone call
The next day an exited Garcia rushed into the bullpen. "Guys, in the conference room, now!" she said while walking through the surprised BAU team. Everybody followed her, including Rossi and Hotchner who were talking in Hotch's office.
They just touched the chair with their butts when Penelope started to explain the need of this meeting. She handed files to the team and pushed the bottom on the remote to turn the screen on.
"I went through all the staff who worked here since Amy is in witness protection." She started. "It get to my attention that Rodriges Hermandez, who get fired because he sold minor information to the press, worked as a security guard in our building. He had huge money troubles; he lost a lot of money by stock trading and couldn't get back on his feet on his own." She stopped a moment to let the others catch up with her. "That's when he met Vadim Bogdanow."
A list with telephone numbers appeared on the screen. One number was marked by Garcia. "Hermandez called this cell phone several times and when I matched it with the database, it turned out, that it was Bogdanows number. Look at the dates." She mentioned and looked to the screen by herself. Reid was the first who made the connection. "It's always near to the date when they moved Amy to another safe place."
Garcia pointed with the remote at him. "Right genius. After he got fired seven month ago, he managed somehow to get a job by the Miami State Police."
"But why did Cunningham allowed him to be there to protect Amy and Rose?" Hotch asked. "He must have known why Hermandez got fired."
"What if thought he tried to trap Bogdanow." JJ suggested. "He knew that somebody would come for Amy and Rose."
"Know your enemies." Rossi said.
"Yeah." Garcia hesitated for a moment. "There is something else." She admitted, not looking pleased to have to tell the news.
"I also found out, that Bogdanow called the house Amy lived in." She looked concerned to her chief. "The call took half an hour."
"So somebody had a longer conversation with him." Rossi said and Hotch could see his distrust against Amy.
"I'm sorry that you have to go through this." Aaron walked Amy to the interview room at the BAU. David Rossi was waiting there. Hotch knew that his friend would push her hard to find out the truth and he still wasn't sure that he wanted to know. What if she wasn't the person he got to know the last days?
"It's okay." She said to him. "I hope that you will trust me after that the same way I trust you." That wasn't an accusation; she just said it like she really means it that way.
"Hello Amy." Dave greeted her friendly when she entered alone. They both took a seat opposite from each other on the table. Amy looked at the big mirror she saw so many times on TV. She was wondering if Aaron was on the other side, looking at her.
"Did Aaron tell you why I want to speak with you?" Rossi asked her.
"No. But you look like if it is something bad for me." She suggested.
"I don't like that I had to find out that you lied the second time to us." His voice was more tense now and he looked very carefully to the reaction of Amy.
"I didn't lie to you. I just didn't tell you everything. And I said I'm sorry, but I had to make up my mind about it before I did. It wouldn't help you if I told you things I couldn't remember right." She made clear.
"Tell me about the day Rose got abducted. From the beginning on."
For the next half an hour she told him from her breakfast about her housework to playing with Rose and the evening with Cunningham. "He was nervous that day. When I asked him why he said he was close to find the one who was behind us. He wanted me to have my gun with me, but I had it in my room anyway. I went to bed at nine thirty with a book and fall asleep over it. I woke up because of the noise, grapped the gun, went outside and found Cunningham dead on the floor. I run to Roses room, but it was empty. I got hit on the head and all went blurry. I lost the gun, but when I fought I felt on the floor and finally I could grab it again and shoot the guy into his leg. He screamed but made his way through the door. I saw the Transporter leaving." She was about to tell more, but Rossi interrupted. "Didn't you forget something?" he asked her assertive.
"No. That's what happened."
"Didn't you get a call from Bogdanow?"
Amy shook her head. "No, why should I?"
"Because you gave him information's how to abduct Rose so she is safe now? She is not in danger right now. You said before you tried to make contact with Petuchow to tell him, that you wouldn't testify against him. If he could have abducted you too, you both would be having a nice live. "Maybe…" he assumed and looked her straight into the eyes, "…you are responsible for William Cunninghams death."
"That's why I fought the other guy in the house. Wouldn't it be easier for me to kill Will by myself and wait for Bogdanow to get me?" she countered. "And the rape was fun too." She added sarcastical. But Rossi wasn't that easy to impress. "I don't think you got raped in the first place." He raised his voice more and more, while Amy starts shivering. That doesn't made Rossi stop. "I think you were in a relationship with Bogdanow. You met him here so that he can bring you to your daughter. You had no intention to help the FBI anymore and he could help you disappear with Rose."
"That's ridiculous." Amy whispered.
"Is it? Bogdanow is a good match. He is influential, rich…" Before he could end Amy shouted at him under tears. "He works for the man who murdered the father of my child. He probably murdered people too. He raped me."
"But with whom he talked that night for half an hour on the phone?" Rossi asked her, right when Hotch walked in.
"I don't know. It wasn't me." Amy answered crying.
"She's got enough." Hotch told Rossi with an angry look. He knew that his friend had to push her that hard; he would have done this also, if it wasn't Amy. He had done it a thousand times.
Gladly Dave was on the same page. "I know." He touched Aarons arm to say he was sorry to have to do this and that he was sure, Amy said the truth.
