Anyways back to the story.. It should be wrapping up.. (It doesn't look like it does it?)
Anywhose... Thanks for the reviews, favs, follows, annnnnnndddd other things we can dooo.
I don't own CM and their characters. No old ladies here either!
He woke when he heard a door close. He didn't even know he fell asleep. He slowly sat up and saw Alex smiling sweetly at him. He wasn't sure if he wanted to know what she had up her sleeve. However he noticed her purse and wondered what was in there. He had to admit she was a very smart woman. This whole time she manipulated him, getting close, making him trust her. Somehow, she ended up being the least expected.
"I'm not going to hurt you. I was thinking about killing you today, so I can hurry up and finish my job, but my plane got cancelled. So, I have to wait a little bit longer," She shrugged.
"What are you going to do to me?" Spencer asked in apprehension.
"Relax, your death won't be painful. Shit, if I hadn't been paid to kill you, I wouldn't have even tried," Alex said with another shrug.
"W-who paid you to kill me? Was it Dale?" Spencer asked trying to put all the pieces together.
"Well, he paid me too, but he's a dumb ass. You weren't supposed to be kidnapped this early. Shit, I look like a suspect because of him. Hence, I had to kidnap myself to look like a victim. When I'm done with you, it'll be bye-bye America for me. I must admit, your little buddy, JJ, never liked me from the start. Although I think it was jealousy, I know she believed that I was manipulating you. She was right," Alex chuckled and shook her head. Spencer watched her every move as she walked to sit in a chair by the wall.
"Why would you leave America?" Spencer asked.
"Just in case, Sweetheart. Just in case. Now, I'm only here to talk to you, because you have maybe 24 hours left to live. I want to give you some closure," Alex smiled while leaning forward.
"Closure? I think you're doing that for yourself," Spencer frowned.
"No, listen to me. I'm doing it for you. I could care less about your death. I just think you may want to know everything," Alex smiled wickedly. Spencer nodded. He does want to know everything.
"I do want to know, but what's the point? You already told me that everything was a lie. Why would I believe you now?" Spencer asked feeling the sadness creep upon him.
"Because I enjoy this. I want you to know everything. I want you to die knowing that all of this was for a reason," She smiled as she stood up. "Whether or not you want to know, I'm going to tell you. I personally believe that you'll be happier when you know. Hell, you'll beg me for death," She stared at him. Spencer couldn't help but realize that Alex needs psychiatric help. The woman had no emotions whatsoever.
"I already told you that Dale and I have been working on this for a few years now. The original plan was for me to of course catch your attention. Act like I care, make sure you don't kill yourself and have you fall in love with me. You may ask why. I could've easily been a friend or even just a random killer, but you don't trust just anybody. I needed your undivided trust. Now, you weren't supposed to get here for another 6 months. However, I must say Dale let his emotions get in the way, and he screwed me over. I think he liked me more than he was willing to admit. Oh well, I killed him. Now he knows not to change plans over petty emotions," Alex frowned.
"Why would he change plans that fast? What triggered his emotions?" Spencer asked truly curious. For some reason, curiosity eased his anxiety about the whole situation. It made him feel more in control. Knowledge was his scapegoat. She ran a hand through her hair.
"I'm not going to lie. I learned that a pretty face can get you far in life. I knew Dale was an arrogant bastard who liked to hit woman, but I'm not like other women. I am stronger, smarter, and most definitely prettier. I succeed at whatever I want to do. He never hit me, but in order to win his trust I had to give him what he wanted as well. Everyone knows that some people can't have sex without strings being attached. He's weak. He got attached. He got jealous and decided to kill you sooner. Pissed me off, so I killed him," Alex shrugged. Spencer watched her facial expression. She enjoyed hurting others, and she was a narcissist. If not, she was pretty arrogant. Spencer had to admit she is one hell of a liar. She was a classic sociopath. He knew that not all sociopaths were killers, but she did have characteristics of those that do.
"Okay, you said six months from now? Why so long?" Spencer asked.
"I wanted to play," Alex shrugged nonchalantly.
"Play?" Spencer questioned raising an eyebrow.
"You're definitely not boring. Dr. Reid, I wouldn't kill you willingly. You did no wrong to me, so there's no personal reasons for me to end your life. However, someone else has a reason, and I'm going to kill you for them. Another weakling," Alex grimaced. "But I'm not going to lie, you're definitely a cutie pie."
Spencer couldn't help the blush that crept along his face. Inwardly he yelled at himself. 'She's a sociopath and you're blushing 'cause she call you a cutie pie? Absurd!'
"Anyways, the reason for waiting for about six months was necessary because then I'd look less like a suspect. You're team would've never suspected me. I think they're stupid though. I've been keeping tabs on the news, and so far, I'm still the victim. You're team isn't as smart as they think they are," Alex chuckled.
"They are smart. They'll figure it out," Spencer snapped.
"You have too much faith in your team. They're not even working on the case. Someone named Swanson is in charge of the case," Alex said raising an eyebrow. Spencer gulped. He never seemed to be on Swanson's good side. He knew that ever since he was brought in from the Academy. Reid could understand why. Many agents weren't too happy about him joining the BAU straight from the academy. However, Swanson made it clear. Spencer couldn't help but feel as if he may never be found. Alex watched as hope left his eyes. Inwardly, she smiled.
"Your team wasn't smart enough to understand anything. I mean I left freaking notes! I wanted to play with them, but they didn't understand. So, I guess they thought Swanson was smarter and handed him the case. They'll just sit there and hope for the best," Alex shrugged.
"B-but, they wouldn't leave me," Spencer stammered.
"Okay. First thing's first. Friendship doesn't last forever. It ends at a point. For once, stop being gullible. These people are your coworkers. If you weren't working at the bureau, they wouldn't give a fuck about who you were or how smart you are. You were forced to be a team by the government. Since you are all profilers, you can profile each other which gives you the whole, "We know each other better than we know ourselves" family bull shit. They will move on when I'm done with you. You won't make it out alive. They won't stop me," Alex said coldly. She stood up and walked along the walls. Like a cat stalking it's prey. Spencer watched her warily. She said she wouldn't hurt him, but she probably would just get bored and then hurt him. Maybe she lied. She lied about everything else. Her words stung. In fact, her words made so much sense that he wondered if they were, in fact, true. She smiled at him knowingly and Spencer felt as if she intruded upon his thoughts.
"You know I'm right. I'm mainly surprised that you have nobody else besides them. I mean you do have your mother and you kept in touch with Ms. Archer, but you can't see them everyday. You were brainwashed to believe you had so many friends, but you were really all alone," She pouted mockingly.
"I wasn't brainwashed. I knew I was alone. I know I'm not the first person they want to hang out with on weekends. I know that I don't have many other people outside of my job. If you haven't realized, I was actually quite content with that," Spencer snapped. He was tired of her pointing out how alone he truly was. He knew she was only feeding into his insecurities, but to hear your thoughts was bothersome.
"Are you sure about that? I don't think you were all that content. You were considering a way out. Well, at least until I came into the picture," Alex said with a chuckle as she flipped her hair in mock conceit. "Your life sucked so bad, you had nothing to live for. You made that clear to me. Okay, so I lied to you. I wouldn't really kill myself unless there's a way for me to haunt anyone I choose. It was all acting, but that was only me. You were truly hurt. Your life truly sucked. I'm going to do you a favor and leave these here," Alex said pulling items out of her purse. He watched as she pulled out bottles of what seemed to hold medications. She also pulled out a knife. Lastly she pulled out a gun. Spencer looked at her in confusion. Was she going to kill him now?
"Relax. I'm not going to hurt you. However, if and when you get tired of me playing with your emotions and whatever else I can think of... This is your way out. Oh wait! There's more," Alex said mimicking television commercials. "If you don't want to feel the pain, here's your ticket out!"
He saw her place the dilaudid on the ground, next to the gun. He wasn't sure if she was trying to help him. 'Don't be stupid. She's getting off on your struggles. She prefers to torture you psychologically. Nothing is more painful than your brain going against yourself.'
She smiled sweetly and walked over to him. She noticed the slight shake in his hands and she knew she was doing better than she had originally thought. She gently ran her hand through his hair and he finally looked up at her.
"It's going to be there as long as you're here. You need to have options. I gave them to you. Now, I'm not going to treat you like an animal," She said softly. "Follow me."
She took a few steps back and waited for Spencer to get out of the bed.
Spencer wasn't too sure if he should follow her. It was a risk he wasn't willing to take. However, as she backed away from him. Something told him to follow. It would be wise. He slowly got out of the bed and tried to ignore the pain from all that movement.
"Good boy," She smiled as she began walking towards the door.
'Maybe if I push her I can-'
"If you think about running, you won't get very far. Believe me," She warned. Spencer nodded. That just ruined his thought.
He followed her down the hallway, and he had to admit, the house was fairly large. Not as big as Rossi's house, but it's close. She led him to another room. It had a window, much to his surprise. "There's no point in keeping you in a dark room when I know you can't get away up here. There's a bathroom and I'll bring food and some water down, alright?" Alex smiled.
Spencer was indeed shocked. In a way, he felt as if this was a gift. He could see that they were on land, but the land was quite beautiful to say the least. He looked away from the window and nodded at her.
Alex smiled sweetly and walked out of the room.
"You think he won't break out?" Cameron asked.
"I know he won't. Even if he does I'll just kill him when I find him," Alex shrugged. Cameron nodded in her consent. They started heading towards the kitchen.
"I need you to make a phone call and get some information, okay?" Alex said while starting to cook.
"Okay, and what am I trying to get, information wise?" Cameron asked watching Alex in bemusement.
"See how the case is going. This place doesn't exactly care about his kidnapping," Alex chuckled. Cameron smiled and nodded.
"I can do that," She said as she pulled out her cell phone.
They were excited. Well excited that they may find their friend. Hotch actually listened to Strauss and the team won't be so obvious anymore. Hotch had put Emily in charge. She had the most experience in espionage. Her previous job had given her many skills and they were not going to let that go to waste. Now, they weren't planning on changing their appearance, but they just planned on working against normal times. Anything to find their resident genius... and Alex.
JJ still didn't like Alex, even though she risked herself on Reid's behalf. Something about the girl just didn't seem right. She seemed too... Perfect. She was able to complement everyone's personality. When Morgan had decided to charm her, she had charmed him back. Garcia's craziness was met with ideal craziness as well. Emily's love for fun was also complemented. With Reid she was intelligent and down to earth. The girl was too perfect! In all the attempts JJ had tried to make Alex uncomfortable, Alex was able to manipulate the situation, and JJ was the one all bothered.
JJ didn't want to tell anyone, because she knew they would think that it was just her emotions and her feelings for Spencer talking. Not her logic. However. If Dale was dead and the other woman was unconscious, then how did they not get away? Swanson had a point of Reid being the UnSub, but since Reid isn't that type of guy, then what if...
JJ sat up in the bed.
She was surprised she had a little Reid moment, but more importantly she needed to tell someone about her thoughts. JJ quickly jumped out of the bed. She grabbed her room key and cell phone, then headed to the one person who would listen to her and then give her their opinion.
She knocked on the door, rather loudly and she an annoyed groan and death threats come towards the door.
The door swung open and Rossi looked at her as if she was crazy.
"You know, some of us like to sleep when we are not working," Rossi grumbled.
"I know, Rossi. I'm sorry, but I was laying down and I had a thought!" JJ exclaimed. Rossi sighed.
"We all have thoughts JJ. So come in and tell me which thought, made you think it was important for you to come and wake me up," Rossi smirked and JJ walked in.
"Okay, so I was laying down and I was thinking about Alex and how much I don't like her. Then I remembered that she sacrificed herself for Reid, so I shouldn't be so hard on her. Then, I thought about how Dale was dead, and Alex was able to knock the other woman unconscious. There was no reason for Reid and Alex to not get away. Swanson had a good point there. Like, if you think about it is possible for Reid to be the UnSub, but we know he's not. What if Alex was? And I'm not saying that because I don't like her. It is a legitimate theory and it could explain why Dale was dead and Spence was never found!" JJ exclaimed.
Rossi stared at JJ for a few seconds. In those few seconds JJ was beginning to wonder if she made a complete fool of herself. He finally released his breath and nodded.
"It does make sense. It could be quite possible. I've never met the girl outside the hospital. I've never exactly spoke to her for any other reason besides Reid's health. Do you have any other reason to back your theory up?" Rossi asked.
"Well, I just figured that she was too perfect," JJ said quietly.
Rossi raised an eyebrow. "Too perfect," He said slowly.
"Yes. I mean she easily flips personalities to match someone else's. It's hard to explain, but you have to witness it to understand," JJ said hoping he understood.
"We can share this idea with the rest of the team when everyone is awake. Get some sleep," Rossi said slowly. JJ nodded. She knew he was right. They needed to talk to the entire team as well. For all she knew, someone else probably had the same thought or more information.
She bid goodnight and walked to her hotel room once again. She still couldn't sleep. Her thought were running wild in her head. She knew it was possible and she wanted to talk about it until someone told her to shut up. Slowly she picked up her phone and dialed a number she was given not too long ago.
"Hello?" The confused voice said. JJ could truly get used to that voice.
"Hey Leo, it's um, JJ," JJ said softly.
"Hey JJ! How's everything going with that case thingy?" He asked chirpily. Somehow he reminded her of Garcia.
"Um, well I've come up with a theory and I wanted to talk to someone about it. I mean, I talked to one of my coworkers, but I feel as if I didn't say enough," JJ explained. There was silence on the other end.
"Well, um, you wanna go to the beach? It's only about five miles from your hotel," Leo offered.
"That would be nice, since I'm an insomniac tonight," JJ said with a slight laugh.
"Awesome. I'll come pick you up!" Leo exclaimed and hung up.
JJ couldn't help the laugh that escaped from her lips. The guy was pretty strange. She decided to get up and put her shoes on. She didn't bother to change clothes and she most definitely put on make up to at least cover up some of the bruises. In about ten minutes JJ's phone range and she knew Leo was in the lobby. She grabbed her purse and made her way down to the lobby.
"Thanks for coming," JJ smiled appreciatively.
"It was no problem, I wasn't doing anything anyways," Leo shrugged.
"You weren't sleeping like the rest of the world?" JJ asked sarcastically.
"Nope. I figured I could sleep the day away. One of the perks of being me! I can choose my own work hours," Leo smiled as she lead her back to his car.
"What type of work do you do?" JJ asked curiously. She realized he never talked about himself.
"I have my own business. I may look stupid, but I'm not dumb," Leo smiled happily.
JJ merely smiled and nodded. She wasn't too sure how to respond to that. In five minutes time, they were at the beach. They got out and for a while they just walked. That is, until JJ decided to talk.
"Do you think it's possible for a woman to be one way, but when you turn around she's a whole different person?" JJ asked.
"Of course! I think that's called... Two-faced? Or just a girl who wants you for your money," Leo said in thought.
"Um, well if it wasn't for money, what else?" JJ asked.
"Wait a minute. I'm not a girl. You are. If you wanted something from someone, you do what you have to do to get it," Leo shrugged. "Why?" He asked.
"I'm trying to figure out this girl's motive. I mean, she was my best friend's girlfriend and I think she was up to no good," JJ shrugged nonchalantly.
"That guy you were kidnapped with? Or the girl who was taken too?" Leo asked.
"Um, definitely the guy. The other girl is his girlfriend," JJ said as she ran a hand through her hair.
"Oh, well, um, good luck trying to break them up if you find them," Leo shrugged apologetically.
"Huh? Why?" JJ asked.
"You know most people kind of get that hero complex when you both are victims of something and you help each other through it. It makes the victims closer. Some even fall in love," Leo smiled happily. JJ frowned at the thought. Although Spencer did admit that he loved the girl, she couldn't see it lasting forever. It wasn't even him. It was all her.
"You don't seem too happy about that," Leo said when he noticed her frown.
"Yeah, I just don't want him to get hurt," JJ said softly.
"Um, I think that is the least of his worries right now," Leo said with nod.
"I know, I know, but when we find him. The last time we almost lost him. What would happen this time?" JJ whispered.
"Well, you all should let him figure that out. He may need some space or something. Not crowded around a bunch of oldies... You're not old, but you know what I'm trying to say," Leo smiled. JJ was taken slightly aback.
"No, we tried that last time, and he became distant and some other personal stuff happened. Although he never said anything, sometimes I think he's truly upset that no one helped him. Typical Spence, he never said a word," JJ smiled.
"Well, you guys should just be supportive then. Not just for him, don't forget about the other girl," Leo said with a nod.
"I think she'll be locked up by that time," JJ grumbled.
"Why?" Leo asked. JJ looked at him and wasn't sure if she should be honest.
"That's confidential information. I would tell you, but it could jeopardize Spence and Alex's lives," JJ smiled sadly.
"That's okay. The um, being confidential part," Leo stammered. JJ smiled and nodded.
"Would you like to go back to your hotel? Leo asked and JJ rose her eyebrows in shock.
"What? I figured you might actually go to sleep now," Leo smiled. JJ giggled. He reminded her so much of Spencer. It was kind of weird.
"Well, okay then," JJ smiled.
They walked back to the car and headed back to the hotel.
He watched as she walked back into the hotel. He couldn't help but think that she was a sweet girl. He drove back to his house when he dialed a familiar number.
"Hey, Sis. Jereau is onto you. She believes you are the killer," he said.
"I am the killer, smart one. But thanks for the heads up. I'm just going to need to her to die. Should've killed her right then and there. I have a plan," Alex said as she chuckled.
"Well, enjoy yourself. I have to get to work. Do you need me for anything," He asked.
"Sorry Leo, but my plan is going to torture her mentally! I don't need you," Alex chuckled.
"Boo.." Leo said feigning disappointment. "But okay! Talk to you later," Leo said as he hung up.
'Poor girl. Sometimes ignorance is bliss,' He mused.
A/N: Sooooooo... Something bad is lingering in the air... For those who didn't know, in like the first five or so chapters... Alex and Spencer were talking and she told him she had an older brother. I think his name was Leonardo? Either way, Leo for short! And JJ figured something out, but will the team believe her? Maybe? Maybe not? It seems to me that Alex needs to kill Reid and make a run for it so she can escape!
Yuppp I wanted to put Emily in charge because I think I under-used her throughout this whole story! Have to give her some action.. Or at least try...
Until next time!
Leave your thoughts!
