Emily's Sister

five

Megan's POV

After working on the case for about 4 more hours, we all sat in the police station room going through files, eating Chinese takeout, and adding information to the white board which ended at around 5 pm when Hotch interrupted us. He walked over to the white board and stated "ok lets go through everything we have so far" he pauses and then says "Our unsub is a white male in his mid 40's, he focuses on married couples"

Rossi adds in "his choice in victims is probably due to some underlying relationship problems in his personal life, he thinks that if he can't have a relationship then no one can"

Spencer said "the way he kills his victims shows he strives for control, yet he shoots them from behind, showing he can't look them in the face why'll shooting them"

I was a little uncomfortable with the conversation but I had to act like it wasn't, I couldn't be taken off this case, I needed to help find who killed my adoptive parents.

Hotch then continued "Garcia what information have you found?"

Garcia's face pops up on the monitor, she says "ok my lovely crime fighters, Ive gone through security cam footage and found that there is one car that frequented each crime scene that has occurred recently. I am ruling out um one of the um-"

I cut her off knowing that she's trying to tiptoe around me "my parents' murder, its ok Pen you can just say it, I'm fine"

she looks down and then back up at the camera and continues "right, I couldn't find any security footage from the Foster murder. Anyway about the car, its an old black ford sedan, it has no license plate so I couldn't track the owner of the car, you're all probably thinking darn it we're toast, but, master of all Penelope Garcia has saved the day, are you all ready for this, I bet you aren't-"

Derek interrupts and says "baby girl we're not getting any younger here"

Garcia answers "patience my hunk of Derek, as I was about to say, I zoomed in on a small sticker that was on the front windshield and found it was a parking pass for a accounting firm. I did a little research and it turns out there are a possible 4 men who fit our profile, but I did even more stalking and only one of them, Jacob Anderson recently charged his credit card for a car from a car dealership and hasn't registered a license plate. Uh oh, I'm tracking his phone and it shows he's sitting outside of a house that's not his"

Hotch says "ok Garcia, send us Jacob's location. We have to assume he's at his next victims house, we'll all head to him, load up in the SUV's"

I follow everyone as we walk out of the conference room and out to the cars. On the way Emily comes by me and walks next to me, she says to me in her serious voice "don't do anything stupid ok?"

"Ok, mom" Say in a sarcastic voice.

"Megan. I'm serious. I don't want you making an irrational decision and killing him without needing to"

"why don't you trust me?" I say getting frustrated.

Emily stops and grabs my arm, forcing me to stop walking too. She looks at me and answers "I do trust you, I just know that this case is personal for you and I understand that it might change your judgement of some things, I just don't know if, if its the best idea for you to be working this case"

You scowl at her and say raising your voice "stop trying to make my decisions! Emily I'm an adult, I know what I can and can't handle!"

She looked shocked that I raised my voice at her, we've almost never argued so I never get a chance to raise my voice at her. I break the silence and say "everyone's probably waiting for us" I turn around rolling my eyes and get into one of the cars. Emily gets in the other car and we leave.

In the car I'm sitting in the back with JJ, Rossi is driving and Spencer is in the passenger seat. JJ notices that I'm agitated as I scowl and stare out the window. She reaches over and puts her hand right above my knee and asks "everything ok?''

You see Rossi look at you through the mirror.

You look at her, give her a quick smile and say "yeah everything's fine" you go back to looking the window.

She removes her hand from your leg and says "ya know she's just trying to protect you"

As I continue to look out the window I say "I don't need her to protect me, she's acting like she's my mother"

JJ answers "she just doesn't want to lose you, you're all the blood related family she has left, she's just trying to be a responsible big sister"

I don't answer her and just stare out the window until we arrive at the house.
