PART TWO
Aaron watched his team board the plan silently. He'd raced to get on board before any of them mostly so that none of them would have a chance to ask each other if they'd all noticed his strange behavior during the morning meeting. J.J entered first followed by Reid a few minutes later then Morgan and Rossi showed up together. Aaron had to struggle to keep his expression neutral of everyone on his team those two where the most likely to confront him about it and one look at the two of them told him they'd been talking about him. Not here guys he slightly prayed.
Morgan marched right over to him "what the hell was that?" he demanded angrily. Hotch tried to keep his face calm "I'm sorry?" he fished, waiting to see what conclusions they'd drawn before admitting to anything. "Garcia" Morgan said "the whole twenty minutes late thing." hotch had to think for a moment what exactly Morgan was talking about it was the last thing he'd expected. "hotch you know if anything happens to that girl Garcia will blame herself for running late- what happens if we're this close" he said holding up his thumb and finger.
It wasn't that Aaron didn't see his point or even that he thought Morgan was wrong it was the thought of losing dharma again- only this time the way he'd lost Haley when he was "this close" to saving her. That shot him to his feet and made him shout "dammit Morgan she should be upset- twenty minutes very well could be the difference for "this girl" if we cut it that close it will be her fault." the team froze none of them had ever seen hotch shout like that at his team Prentiss who had entered only a moment before. Put her hands up "hotch take it easy" she said
He glared at her "that goes for everyone" he said a little ashamed of himself. "no screw ups" they stared back at him quietly Rossi frowned "do you need to take some time?" he asked "we can handle this thing without you." hotch sighed "no" he didn't bother to give any deeper explanation. from behind him he heard gracias voice "sir I have that video of the kidnapping" he turned to the monitor "baby girl how long you been there?" Morgan asked softly Garcia had a little tear in her eye but she brushed it away. "oh you know long-long enough" Hotch hung his head "Garcia I didn't mean to shout" he told her. she nodded he wanted to tell them all he was sorry but knowing he was about to whach a video of Jane being murdered and dharma be taken had him on edge if I let any of this in right now I'll fall apart dharma needs me to be strong right now. Garcia started the tape. ============================================================================== Jane was walking down a hallway presumably to her apartment her hair was died black but curly as ever. The moment Aaron saw her his head flooded with old memory's. she looked very much the same way she had on the day he'd met her when she'd vowed to "hurt him in ways he couldn't even imagine" if he ever hurt dharma.his stomach twisted in knots as he thought over the irony of that.
A man shot out of the corner and grabbed her from behind. mercifully the tape had no audio but there was there was nothing comforting about the images on the screen. Jane had always been a little scary to him she was slightly anti-social and a little darker then most people. In the end it was her unwavering dedication to her friends that had finally won him over as a friend, and now watching her fight this man. Aaron could see the fear in her eyes as the man on the screen produced a long syringe and plunged it into her gut
she stopped fighting immediately and fell to her knees she grabbed her stomach and fell face first on the ground perfectly still. The unsube waited a minute and then turned her over her eyes where open but even on the tape he could see she was dead. The unsube dragged her by the arm into the apartment and closed the door
The tape went dark and then started up again, time stampeded two hours later this time it was Dharma. she had changed her hair dyed it only slightly darker and cut it to match her old "blond tornado" wig but she was still his dharma smiling and bubbly.
she stepped into the apartment and shut the door behind her. he held his breath for what seemed like an eternity {in reality it was only about two seconds because Garcia moved the tape along}.
fifteen minutes after she had walked into the apartment dharma reappeared escorted by two men she looked out of it. probably drugged, as they walked one of the men stoped and stared up at the camera. he grinned and held up his hands wet with Jane's blood {they knew it was Jane's because nether dharma or the unsubes had been cut}. He licked the blood away slowly and then grinned again and held up a sign that said. "Ashford says, your move Montgomery" he pulled the sign away and walked off. the tape ended. ==============================================================================hotch put his head down there was a heavey silence in the plain. why isn't anyone profiling? He kept his face down "ok" he began "what do we know? They drugged her they killed Jane with some kind of injection- right so they obviously have access to medication or drugs. Something that wares off since the M.E couldn't find anything." Morgan cut in "Hotch-" Aaron spoke over him they needed to do their jobs "there were two of them one must have let the other in the window or something. They didn't hide their faces so there confident we won't be able to track them down" Rossi walked over to him and put a hand on his shoulder "Aaron sit down" he said quietly hotch stared at his friends, from one face to another "come on guys what do we know" this can't end like Haley "Hotch" Morgan said helping Rossi push him back into his chair "your crying"
=====================================================================================A/N o.k so I'm kinda not happy with this one I think it reads a little bumpy.=( Also I'm really bad at typing so- if there are and spelling or gram things that bug I'm sorry I ran it through spell check and that's about all I know how to work on this thing. L.o.l anyway I just wanted to keep it updated for you guys.
