The friend from Uni.

Strange

We walked into the house of the newest kidnapped girl and I went to the bedroom she owned. Once there I saw she owned a chin pull up bar on her door. I took my leather jacket off and pulled myself up into it before I hung upside down on it.
"Ashley what are you doing?" David asked
"Looking. Sometimes when your looking for something out of place that doesn't seem like it would be out of place."
"Got anything?" Aaron asked
"Not yet."
After some silence I heard more people were walking towards me.
"She wears a long sleeve shirt, under a leather jacket?" Derek asked
"What are you thinking Ash?"
"Why is coal considered a terrible gift when it's a great source of heat, or you put enough pressure it makes a diamond. Or how I would use it.... to smack a bitch."
"Shouldn't you be thinking about the case?" Derek asked
"Don't judge the way I work Derek." I told as I leaned in a way so I could see them only to notice something.
I quickly swung up and switched my legs so I could see the hallway.
"Spencer could you grab my leather jacket and check all the pockets for a laser pointer. Except the chest pocket. I know it's not in there."
"Ok."
He went searching through my pockets till he found it. I took it from his hands and pressed the button aiming towards an air vent.
"That is missing its screws."
Derek walked over with Spencer and removed it to reveal a disk.
"Ash you are scary good." Derek told
"Thank you." I told as I got out of my position. "Also, don't call me Ash, Derek."

We were all sitting in the conference room watching the tape.
"Give us 40 grand or we kill the girl. You have 24 hours."
The video ended on the girl tied and I tried to get my breathing under control.
'Your not trapped in that car Ash.'

( "Temperance Brennan, Jack Hodgins and a girl some know as Bunny have been buried alive.Wire transfer $8 million to the following Grand Cayman account or they will suffocate to death. Upon receipt of the wire transfer, I will provide you Brennan, Hodgins and Bunny's GPS Coordinates. This will be my last communication."
"Sorry Shooter. I don't recognise the voice. I don't even know how they would have even found out about the Bunny thing. My files been sealed since I was 16 of my own doing. I wish I could help more."
"It's fine Ashley. Just needed to see if you could work something out. Get well."
"Will do Seeley. Have fun with what ever you are going to do now.")

"Ash. You ok?" Spencer quietly asked me making me look towards him.
"Yeah. Just lost in thought for a second." I quietly told making him search my face to see if I was hiding anything.
"She's been missing for nearly two days now." Emily stated
"There were other tapes at their houses right?" I asked
"Yes. It's how it was discovered they were missing." Aaron told
"Aaron....."
"Yes you can make a murder board." He told making me get up and quickly get to work. "Try and keep it to one board. We couldn't get through it easily last time."
"I make no promises."

Once I was done I looked towards them.
"Roommate."
"What?" They all asked minus Spencer.
"You think the roommate is apart of this?" Spencer asked
"No. The roommate hid it not knowing the contents of it. She probably thought it was a sex tape and didn't want her parents seeing."
"So we need to arrest the roommate?" Derek asked
"No. We don't let her know what was on the tape. If we find her roommate dead then she will probably turn to drugs or alcohol, and possible kill herself. We have to tell her we found it but just say it was a sex tape and that we won't show her parents. The true contents of the tapes stay hidden."
"You want us to hide this from the parents?" Jj asked
"Yes."
"They deserve...."
"I think if I was given the chance to see my parents when they were tied up a day before they were possibly killed I wouldn't take it. Because I would rather live with remembering what they looked like before said tape. I assure you I know what tapes can do to people, and even without an eidetic memory people will always remember the moment they've seen someone dead or the last moments someone was alive."
"She's right. We should keep this hidden but if the parents ask to see the tape then we will show them." Aaron told.
"Hotch, we just got a call saying some teens found a dead girl floating in the lake." One of the officers told.
"Let's go team."
'Oh boy.'
