Stripped - Complete

Chapter Nine - Shaw

First, I called the cops on my own father.

Next, I slept with the man that would end up being my history teacher.

Then, I saw a dead body in a bag.

Now, Christina's come back to investigate said dead body with the FBI.

My life could not get worse. Unless she found out I had slept with my teacher and that I work at a strip club. What would she hate more I wonder. She also covered for me having an iPhone ever though I haven't spoken to her 7 years. If our parents were as half as smart as Christina they would have known that.

I've seen her around the town but I haven't had the courage to go a talk to her. She's also with one of her co-workers. He was pretty cute to say the least but like I said I have a law school to get in to. I wasn't working today which was a plus, so after school I get to go home and be grounded. I hope Christina comes back so I can actually talk to her for the first time since I was 10. The walk home was boring and quiet until a female voice paired with a male voice came round the corner behind me. I continued walking not paying any attention to the people until I heard me name.

"Shaw?" The woman said. I turned around to see Christina and her male friend standing next to her.

"Hey Christina, how's work?" I say turning and waiting from them to catch up.

"Good, we are just going to talk to another suspect" she said looking at the man.

"How many have you talked to so far?" I asked looking at the man.

"Maybe about 5 so far. Are you just heading home from school?" she asked.

"Yeah, you know I'm grounded. Are you going to introduce me to your friend?" I asked smiling at the man.

"This is Dr Spencer Reid. He's a lot like me in a brain sort of way" I said laughing.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Shaw Christina's second younger sister" I say waving.

"I know, Christina told me a lot about her family life before she joined the FBI Academy" Spencer said, which I was surprised about. I didn't know she told her friends about us.

"I hope she told you good things about us considering the situation" I laughed, I assume Spencer was with Christina when she went back home.

"Of course, good things about her sisters anyway" he said smiling.

"We need to go and talk to this woman before we head back to the station" I waved goodbye as she and Spencer left. I let out a breathe, glad that they never asked about the club. Or the body.

I got home to silence. Silence for the first time in a while. My mother was passed out on the couch breathing as heavy as ever. I walk past to get to my room, open the door and see Avery and Lucia reading.

"So, Dad left. I called Christina before she got on her flight here and she must have ripped him a new one at the way he left. Chris is going to try and get Mom into a rehab place. We might actually be able to have friends over if Mom can get a job.

We hugged and stayed with Lucia continuing to read to her. I was hopeful that things would start working out for the rest of this family. After about 10 minutes of reading there was sirens. I look out the window and see black SUV's drive past and I knew it was Christina and the FBI. That must mean they found the killer. I hope my sister is okay.
