Ghost Whisperer
I own nothing
This is after the Series Finale
When Morgan parked outside the hospital, he got out of the SUV quickly, opened the back door and grabbed Emily from the back and her hurried inside, Reid right on his heels.
"I need some help here!" A couple nurses rushed over. Two grabbed a gurney. Reid grabbed a nurse.
"We have three more coming." Reid told her. The nurses rushed to check Emily into a room.
"Is Jim Clancy in?" Morgan asked one of the nurses.
"Yes." The nurse said. "He's checking in with a few patients."
"Can you take me to him?" Morgan asked. The nurse nodded and let the way. Reid stayed behind and waited for the others.
"Wait here." The nurse walked into the room Jim was in. "Dr. Clancy." The nurse said, making Jim turned. When he spotted Morgan, he dismissed himself, telling the nurse to finish up. He walked out of the room.
"Mr. Clancy." Morgan said. "We found Emily." Jim looked at Morgan, completely in shock.
"Where...Where is she?" Jim asked quickly.
"She was taken by a couple of nurses." Jim started to walk away, but Morgan stopped him. "Mr. Clancy."
"I want to see my niece."
"I know you do, but Mr. Clancy, I want you to know that she is alive, but she has suffered a lot."
"Suffered?"
"She was a fighter, and got punished because of it." Jim sighed.
"Can I go find my niece?" Jim asked as Morgan's phone rang.
"Yeah." Jim hurried off. Morgan answered his phone. "Hey Mama."
"Did you find them?" Garcia asked.
"Yes, we found them and they're alive."
"OH Thank God!" Garcia said. Morgan could basically hear her smile. "So, will you explain to me how you figured this out?"
"In due time." Morgan said. "I have to meet up with Hotch and Rossi. I'll talk to you later Garcia."
"That's all that I remember." Katie said to JJ once they got back to the station.
"That's ok Katie." JJ said.
"Katie!" Katie turned and spotted an older, familiar, face. She stood up quickly.
"Christopher!" Katie ran over to him and they exchanged a hug. Prentiss joined JJ.
"Heather's parents are on their way." Prentiss said.
"Katie's brother, Christopher, is all she has." JJ said, watching Christopher and Katie walk out of the station.
"Reid called, all four girls are checked into the hospital and their families have been notified." Prentiss said. "They're on their way back and we were told to wait on questioning Tracey Miller." JJ and Prentiss added a few new pictures of Tracey Miller, George Miller, Faith Miller and Miranda Miller. Hotch and Rossi walked in and joined them.
"Morgan and Reid back yet?" Hotch asked.
"They are on their way back now." Prentiss said. "Morgan and Reid have statements from all four girls as well." Hotch grabbed his phone.
"Garcia, send any information you can dig up about Tracey and George Miller. Also, gather any information about Miranda and Faith Miller and track the Miller's phone."
"Yes sir, I will get right on that."
"Garcia." Hotch said, walking away from the team. "How did the Miller family escape our initial search?"
"That's my fault sir, I should have expanded the ratios a few more miles." Garcia said. "I already looked into it, the Miller family lived 60 miles from Grandview, I only searched 50."
"We didn't know how far the unsubs would take the girls." Hotch said. "Garcia, you've done great work."
"Thank you sir. I will get that information to you lickety split." Hotch and Garcia hung up as Morgan and Reid entered.
"Garcia will be sending us any information she can get." Hotch said. "We need to get George Miller's face out to the media. We need to let the public know who we are looking for."
"The press is already gathered outside." Reid said.
"I'll go talk to them." JJ offered. Hotch nodded.
"Morgan and Prentiss, I want you back at the hospital. Take a few uniforms with you. George Miller took the girls once, there is no doubt he that he will try again." Hotch said. "After some rest,Rossi and I will take over."
"What should I do?" Reid asked.
"Help JJ with the press and then get some rest. By the morning, Garcia should have everything."
"We are looking for this man." JJ said, holding up a picture of George Miller. "His name is George Miller and the FBI would like to speak with him for he has information that might be useful to this case. If you have any information involving George Miller, please contact the number below. Thank you."
Emily woke up, slowly rubbing her eye. She looked around. She was at the hospital and Jim was sleeping in the chair closest to the bed.
"Uncle Jim." Jim woke from his sleep the moment he heard his name. He looked over at Emily. He got up and moved closer to her.
"You're awake." Jim said. "How do you feel?"
"Sore and tired." Emily said, trying to sit up.
"You're pretty sick, Emily." Jim said, "Careful."
"Who has been here?" Emily asked.
"Everyone. Melinda, Aiden, Delia, Ned, Eli, Professor Payne, even Andy. But only Melinda and I could see you."
"What time is it?" Emily coughed.
"3:30 in the morning." Jim said. "You've been asleep since you got here."
"Why are you here?"
"I wanted to be here when you woke up, Melinda thought it was a good idea as well and one of the agents..."
"Agent Morgan?" Emily asked. Jim looked at Emily, still half asleep. "Tall, dark and Handsome. He's the one that brought me here."
"Yeah, it was him." Jim said, rubbing his eyes to help wake himself up. "Agent Morgan told us that because the person who took you and the other girls has not been captured, they want someone in the room with you until he is caught."
"I see."
"I've talked to Breanna, Jennifer and Morgan."
"How are they?" Emily asked, coughing slightly.
"Breanna is at home, resting." Jim said. "Morgan and Jennifer are here, being monitored. They will get to leave today, if things go well." Jim said.
"Good." Emily smiled.
"I talked to them, about you and what you did." Jim said. "Breanna told me that you were protecting the others." Emily sighed. "It was stupid, to take the punishment away from the others, but it was brave."
"I know what I did was stupid, but I had to do it Uncle Jim."
"You didn't know..."
"What he was capable of, I know and that's why I did it." Emily explained. "Morgan's arm was taken care of after it was broken, he made sure everythign was ok and he didn't harm us."
"And that made it ok?"
"I needed to know the limits that I could push him. I had to figure out why he kidnapped us and why he was doing what he was. And it worked." Emily explained. "Besides, he never hurt us physically."
"Ice water tub?" Jim asked. "How is that not physically getting hurt?" Emily shrugged. "Emily..."
"I wouldn't change a thing." Emily said as she started coughing.
"I know."
"When can I go home?" Emily asked when her coughing subsided.
"Hopefully sometime today." Jim said as smiled at Emily.
"Uncle Jim, are you alright?" Emily asked.
"I was worried sick about you." Jim stated. "When the police called and asked me to come down to the station to talk with the FBI, I panicked." Jim stated. "Truth be told, I haven't gotten much sleep and neither has Melinda." Emily sighed. "Emily, what's wrong?"
"Don't treat me like a victim." Emily said with a cough. "I know what I have gone through the past month alone and I don't want this to be a reminder."
"Emily."
"I'm tired of pretending I'm ok, when I am not." Emily said, coughing even more. "This is not going to be my weakness, but my strength." Jim grabbed a water bottle while Emily was having a coughing attack."
"Emily," Jim started. "You need to relax." Jim handed Emily the water. Emily took a drink.
"I'm fine." Emily said, drinking more water."I am just ready to go home."
"I know." Jim said. "Andy was going to stop by tomorrow before school, Aiden as well, but you can only see them if you rest."
"Alright." Emily smiled. Jim kissed Emily's forehead.
"Rest. We'll go home tomorrow."
"Hey Emily." Jim said as he walked in with a tray for breakfast. Emily sat up.
"Food. I'm starving" Emily said. "But I thought you couldn't leave."
"I had some help." Jim smiled. "You have a few visitors." Jim said. "Come on in." Emily looked towards the door as Andy, Stephanie, Aiden and Melinda walked in.
"Hey Emily." Emily smiled. Andy gave Emily a hug, followed by Stephanie. Jim set Aiden up on the bed.
"It's too bad no one gets to see you play next Friday." Andy said. "It would have been great!"
"Yeah, it would have." Emily looked at Aiden. "I wish I could help with your party on Saturday."
"It's ok." Aiden said. "I'm glad you're back." Emily smiled.
"Alright, everyone has to get to school." Melinda said. "Come on Aiden, let's go."
"Bye Emily." Andy and Stephanie said.
"Bye Emily, see you after school." Aiden said as everyone, except Jim, left. Emily started eating.
"Emily, I have to head home and shower for work, but Ned will be coming to sit with you."
"I'll be fine. I'll watch some television."
"You need someone here with you." Jim explained. "FBI ordered it."
"Oh." Emily said as Ned walked in.
"She's awake." Ned said as he walked in.
"Hey Ned." Jim said, standing up. "Thanks for this."
"Not a problem." Ned said. "I've got nothing better to do."
"Emily, do you need anything from home?"
"My phone and my book." Emily said. "If they made it back from my gym locker."
"They did." Jim said. "I'll be back in an hour, hour in a half tops."
"Okay." Ned and Emily said. Jim left. Emily turned the TV on and found some game show that was on before she started eating.
"How are you?" Ned asked.
"Ok, I guess." Emily started coughing.
"Are you sure?" Ned asked. Emily nodded, still coughing.
"Positive." Emily said when the coughing subsided. "I occasionally get into coughing fits." Emily continued to eat.
"Did you really send a ghost to Melinda?" Ned asked.
"Yep." Emily said. "They were there and I needed them to help."
"Nice. How'd you convince them?"
"It wasn't hard. They were protecting us." Emily stated. "Easy."
"That's good." Ned said. "I'm glad you're ok." Ned said to Emily. "And I'm glad your back." Emily smiled.
"Garcia, what do you have for us?" JJ asked.
"As much info as I could dig up." Garcia said. "The Miller family was well off; both parents had high paying jobs, a nice house. Everything is clean there." Garcia explained. "There is something that suggests Tracey Miller has or had cancer. The medical bills started to pile up in '09, but stopped in May 2013."
"Do you have work address for George Miller and Tracey Miller?" Hotch asked.
"Sending them to you now."
"Thanks Garcia."
"Before you go, I should tell you that George Miller and Carlos Hartford know each other." Garcia said. "I was going through George Miller's cell phone records and the same number popped up a numerous times. There were three calls on the day that each girl was kidnapped." Garcia explained. "When I looked it up, the number belonged to Carlos Hartford."
"Thanks Garcia. Keep an eye on Carlos Hartford. If anything suspicious happens, let us know."
"Will do." Garcia said before hanging up.
"Dave. Take Reid and Prentiss to the Miller house. Search through everything." Hotch said. "JJ and I will talk to Tracy Miller."
"Morgan, I want you to talk to the three girls at the hospital and ask a few more questions." Morgan nodded. Everyone started to disperse. Hotch stopped Rossi, Prentiss and Reid. "Head over to George Miller's work place and see what you can find out."
"Will do." Rossi said. Rossi, Prentiss, Reid and Morgan left. JJ walked up to Hotch.
"Do you think Tracey Miller will talk?" JJ asked Hotch.
"Let's hope so." Hotch said. "Let's go."
"Why do we need to do this Agent Morgan?" Rick Lawrence asked. "We just want to take our daughter home."
"I just need to ask her a few questions to help our case."
"Dad." Jennifer said from behind. Rick Lawrence turned around. "If it's going to help, then let him ask the questions."
"Ok." Rick Lawrence said. Morgan walked over to Jennifer.
"It's good to see that you are feeling better." Morgan said. "I just need to ask you a few more questions." Morgan grabbed his phone. "Do you recognize this woman?" Morgan asked, showing Tracey Miller's picture. Jennifer shook her head.
"No."
"How about this man?" Morgan showed Jennifer a picture of George Miller.
"Yeah. He was the one who trained us and punished Emily." Jennifer said.
"You said you saw the kidnapper the day you were kidnapped. Was it this man?"
"No." Jennifer said.
"Would you be willing to describe him to a sketch artist?"
"Yeah." Jennifer said. "Anything to catch the creep." Morgan smiled.
"Thank you for your time." Morgan said. "Come to the station and sit with a sketch artist."
"Will do." Jennifer smiled as Alan Taylor walked in. "Alan!" Alan hurried over to Jennifer and hugged her.
"Jen." Morgan smiled before he left the room and grabbed his phone. He called Rossi.
"Hey Rossi, I just finished talking to Morgan and Jennifer. Morgan recognizes George Miller as her kidnapper, but Jennifer does not." Morgan explained. "Neither of them recognized Tracey Miller."
"We haven't found anything about a second, or a third, unsub."
"I'm about to speak with Emily Andrews." Morgan said. "We need to talk to Breanna, Katie and Heather again."
"So they have seen the person that kidnapped them?"
"Yeah." Morgan said. "Jennifer is coming to the station to meet with a sketch artist later to day."
"That was a sloppy move, letting the girls see them." Rossi said. "I'll mention it to Hotch."
"Sounds good." Morgan said, hanging up the phone. Morgan walked to Emily's room, knocking before entering. Delia and Emily glanced towards the door.
"Look who's finally awake." Morgan said when he walked in. He shut the door. "I was wondering if I could ask a few questions."
"Yeah, ok." Emily said. Delia looked at Morgan.
"Questions about what?" Delia asked.
"About the day she was kidnapped." Morgan said to Delia. "It's all routine."
"Delia, it's fine." Emily said simply. "I want to answer any questions Agent Morgan may have."
"Ok." Delia stood up. "I'll step out and let you two speak alone." Delia looked at Emily. "Need anything?"
"Another bottle of water would be nice." Delia nodded and left. Emily looked at Morgan as Morgan took the seat next to the bed. "What did you need to ask me?"
"Do you recognize this woman?" Morgan asked, showing Emily a picture of Tracey Miller. Emily stared at the photo and shook her head.
"It's Faith and Miranda Miller's Mom, isn't it." Emily asked.
"It is."
"They look a lot like her."
"How about this man?" Morgan asked, showing a picture of George Miller. Emily nodded.
"He was the person who kidnapped me, punished me and trained us."
"So this was the man you saw when you were kidnapped?"
"Yes."
"Thank you." Morgan went to stand up.
"Agent Morgan." Emily said, stopping him. "I know there are more questions you want to ask."
"That's all I needed."
"Not about the case. About me. The ghost thing." Emily smiled. "There are questions. There always is."
"You're right. Explain it to me." Morgan said. "How is it possible to see and speak to ghosts?"
"I was born with it." Emily explained. "I'm not really sure why, but I can speak with them." Emily stated. "Melinda is at least a sixth generation, as it has been passed down for generations through her family."
"Everything Dr. Reid said yesterday is valid. Ghost are hard to prove."
"There's a man here with you." Emily started. "His name is Hank Morgan and he looks a lot like you." Emily smiled. "He is wearing a police uniform, Chicago, and he said." Emily's smile faded and she looked at Morgan. "You shouldn't have watched him die when you were 10." Emily said slowly. "But he's proud of the life you have made of yourself, with Savannah and your son." Emily continued. "He's proud of you and your two sisters for overcoming the obstacles you have had to face." Morgan felt something touch his shoulder. "Keep up the good work. You've made me proud." Emily said. "Your dad's words."
"Ok, you've convinced me." Morgan said after a moment.
"There is one more thing your dad mentioned, one that I'm a little confused about." Emily said. "Who's Penelope Garcia?" Morgan smiled and chuckled a little.
"That would be our technical Analysis back at Quantico." Morgan said. "Why?"
"Your dad said that you have been a great friend to her, along with everyone else at the BAU."
"You are pretty special, you know that." There was a knock at the door. Delia walked in. Morgan stood up. He grabbed a card from his pocket, quickly wrote something on the back. He handed it to Emily. "If you think of anything, call." Morgan said. "I also added Garcia's number, just in case." Emily smiled.
"Thanks." Emily said. Morgan nodded to Delia before leaving.
"Everything ok?" Delia asked, handing Emily a bottled of water.
"Yes." Emily said. "Everything is great."
"I was talking to Jim, you'll be discharged this afternoon."
"Fantastic!" Emily smiled. "Great day!"
"Mrs. Miller, do you know why you're here?" Hotch asked, sitting across from Tracey Miller with JJ next to him.
"Because of the girls that my husband had in the barn."
"So you knew about the girls?" Hotch asked.
"We were making a family. One those girls needed."
"Those girls have a family. Ones that were devastated and heartbroken that their girls were missing." Hotch stated.
"Tracy, those girls are hurt and sick." JJ said. "Why make a family if you were going to harm them?"
"We needed to see who the best would be." Hotch's phone went off.
"So you admit you took those girls with your husband." JJ stated as Hotch got up.
"Yes." Tracy replied. Hotch answered his phone, leaving JJ with Tracy.
"Hotchner."
"Aaron, we found pictures of all six girls in the house. Morgan said that none of the girls recognized Tracy Miller, but it is obvious she knew they were here." Hotch looked behind him. "We also found recent medical bills. He cancer has returned. That was the stressor."
"Thanks Dave." Hotch hung up and walked back to the table. "We're done here." Hotch gathered up the photos and the files. JJ stood up
"This was all my idea." JJ started towards the door.
"No. The girls you kidnapped did not recognize your photo, meaning, you never actually captured them or saw them." Hotch said, behind JJ. "All that makes you is an accomplice." JJ and Hotch left, letting the officer take Tracy Miller back to the cells.
JJ and Hotch were standing in front of the board, reexamining the facts, when Morgan arrived.
"Did Tracy Miler say anything?" Morgan asked, joining Hotch and JJ.
"She confessed to the kidnappings." JJ said. "She knew they were there at the farm."
"But none of the girls recognized Tracy Miler." Morgan said. "Jennifer Lawrence is going to come in and sit with a sketch artist today. Hopefully we can figure out who the second unsub is." Hotch's phone rang.
"Hey Dave, I'm putting you on speaker." Hotch said, putting his phone on speaker so everyone could hear.
"You are not going to believe what we just found." Rossi said.
"What did you find?" JJ asked.
"The tranquilizer that may have been used on the girls to aid in the kidnappings." Rossi stated. "The Miller girls volunteered at an animal shelter where some tranqulizers had gone missing." Rossi explained. "We found needles at the farm, that we'll get processed."
"Are you on your way back?" Hotch asked.
"Getting ready to leave now. See you soon."
"How are the girls?" Garcia asked Morgan over the phone.
"Doing fine. Emily just got discharged, so they are all at home now." Morgan explained. "Jennifer Lawrence should be hear shortly to sit with the sketch artist."
"Will George Miller try to kidnap them again?"
"Don't you worry Penelope, we're watching them."
"Derek, is something bothering you?"
"No, why do you ask?"
"You called me Penelope." She stated bluntly. "You usually saw Mama, Baby Girl, Sweetness, but you didn't." Morgan smiled. "You only call me Penelope when something wrong."
"And I thought I was the profiler." Morgan joked.
"You thought wrong." Garcia said. "Now, what's wrong?"
"Do you believe in Ghosts?"
"Like Casper the ghost?"
"I'm serious Garcia." Morgan said. "Do you believe there are things, like ghosts, out there that we can't see?"
"Morgan, you're scaring me." Garcia said slowly. "Why is this important?"
"Emily can speak and see ghosts, even though we can't." Morgan told her. "That's how we found the girls. Emily sent on of the Miller girls to Emily's Aunt, Melinda, who can also see them." Morgan explained. "She also knew things about my past." Morgan paused. "She saw my dad, Garcia."
"So what you're saying is that there are ghosts around that we can't see?"
"Yes," Morgan said. "And I believe her. As odd as it sounds, I do believe her." Morgan sighed. "She told me things only the team and my family knew. Somethings I didn't trust people to know about me until I was ready."
"Then maybe there is something out there we can't see." Garcia said. "And, since that's the case, you need to come and deghostaphy my office and apartment." Garcia always knew how to lighten the mood. Morgan laughed.
"That's not how it works Mama."
"It was worth a shot."
"Jennifer Lawrence is here, before I go, I gave Emily your number in case she can't get a hold of me."
"Alright." Garcia said. "You still need to deghostaphy my place."
"Goodbye Garcia." Morgan said before hanging up his phone. He walked over to Jennifer Lawrence and her father, Rick. "Thank you for coming. This way."
Jim opened the door that afternoon carrying a bag of Emily's things and Emily hoppled in on crutches. Baxter came bounding over.
"He's missed you." Jim said, shutting the door. Emily patted Baxter's head. Baxter licked Emily's hand furiously. "We'll set you on the couch for now." Emily walked over to the couch and sat down. Jim grabbed a couple of pillows from upstairs, and brought them downstairs. He put a pillow behind Emily to set her up and one for her ankle.
"Thanks." Emily said, getting comfortable. Baxter made himself comfortable on the floor besides the couch. Jim handed Emily her phone.
"I called Ryan and Faith and the Richardson and told them what happened." Jim said. "You'll want to call them back later."
"Ok."
"You need to rest." Jim said, covering Emily up with a blanket.
"I know."
"Eli is going to come by so I can pick up your prescription since you can't be by yourself." Jim told her. "Do you need anything?"
"My iPod, my book and my phone charger." Emily said. "If I don't sleep, I at least want to know what's happening at Mythos Academy."
"Alright." Jim headed upstairs and come back down with the requested items.
"Thanks Uncle Jim." Jim headed into the kitchen and returned with a bottle of water. Emily grabbed her book and started reading.
Morgan slapped up a sketch next to Carlos Hartford's picture.
"Carlos Hartford is our second Unsub?" Rossi asked.
"Looks that way."
"He's not answering his cell and I can't get a hold of anyone at Hartford Moving Trailers." JJ said as she hung up the phone. Hotch dialed a number.
"Garcia, has there been anything strange happening with Carlos Hartford?"
"Hmm…" Hotch could hear Garcia typing. "Nothing. No cash withdrawals, no phone calls." Garcia did some typing. "Actually, his phone has been off."
"Home address?" Hotch asked.
"Sending it to your phones as we speak." Hotch hung up the phone.
"Rossi, Reid and Prentiss, I want you to go to Carlos Hartford's home. JJ, Morgan and I will head over to Hartford Moving Trailers. We need to bring Carlos Hartford in for questioning."
Rossi, Reid and Prentiss stormed Carlos Hartford's house with officers. Rossi motioned to Prentiss, who took a few officers around back. Rossi and Reid glanced through the windows. They couldn't see much.
"Carlos Hartford." Rossi yelled at the door. "This is the FBI." There was nothing. Rossi tried the door and the door was unlocked. Rossi and Reid entered the front and Prentiss entered through the back, their guns drawn. They searched the house. Rossi lead some men upstairs.
"Clear!" Prentiss called from the kitchen.
"Clear." Reid said from the living room.
"Clear." Rossi said from upstairs. Prentiss and Reid joined Rossi upstairs.
"Looks like he left in a hurry." Prentis said.
"He left his doors unlocked." Reid said. "He must have known we were coming."
"Agents." One of the uniforms said. Rossi, Prentiss and Reid walked over to the officer, who was examining a second bedroom.
"Both these rooms have been lived in recently." The officer said. Reid walked over to a third bedroom and examined it.
"Guys." Reid said, turning to Rossi and Prentiss. "You need to come look at this."
