Morgan says," Alice your neck?"
Jj looks shocked at the purple and red marks across your neck and bruise on your face.
Reid says," We need a medic."
Alice says," I am fine. Those girls are they ok?"
Jj says," They are scarred for sure but they are going to be fine Alice. Thank you for saving my butt in there."
Alice shakes her head and says," I just am glad we got him. I couldn't possibly not protect you. You are a vital to this team."
Gideon looks visibly upset and says," so are you Alice. "
They get into the black svu driving back to the hotel exhausted.
Reid looks at Alice and says," Do you want me to come help you in your room?"
Morgan high fives him and says," Oh romeo."
Alice laughs and says," I am fine. I am ill just go to sleep right now ill see you guys in the morning."
Reid nods heading to the room right next to yours with Morgan. Gideon grabs the elevator while jj goes across the hall to her room.
She takes off her clothes wincing as the shirt goes over her temple previous smacked with a revolver. Thank God for Gideon finding her. The memories flush back with Alex on top of her screaming at her with both hands on her neck.
She shakes her head looking in the mirror taking off her pants. She jumps in the shower shivering at the feeling the warm water touches the back of her head. She closes her eyes finishing her shower then wrapping a towel around her body as she walks into the bedroom of the hotel.
She picks out some clothes then hears a knock her door. She says," one min."
She jumps into her clothes brushing out her hair.
Jj says," They want you to go in tomorrow morning to question the guy."
Alice opens the door to see Reid and Jj.
Reid says," Gideon thinks that you would be the best person to go in and question William."
Alice rolls her eyes and says," Of course. So does that mean another day in Utah?"
Reid answers," Nope . We go down in the morning finalize the interview you give your information to cops and we fly out at noon."
Alice says," ok because it's boring here. What time is it ?"
Jj checks her phone and says," 8:30. I am starving. Do you guys want to go out for some food and drinks ?"
Reid says," I'll go get Morgan," as he walks back to his room sliding the card to open the door.
Alice says," I am always down for a night cap. Especially after getting in trouble with Hotch and this case."
Jj says," yeah he could be a bully sometimes."
Morgan comes over and says," like a drill sergeant. Alice you hear from Alex?"
Alice shakes her head no and says," Where's Penny? "
Reid says," She took a flight back to help Hotch with something. "
Morgan says," lets goo I am driving. Diner sound good to everyone. " Alice says," I will take food and milkshake. Thought we would just go to the lobby and grab food."
Morgan says," got you the lobby has a nice burger place let's go."
They all walk down the lobby quickly finding the burger restaurant. They all sit down ordering immediately. Morgan looks at Alice and says," How does your neck feel? Did you tell Hotch you were hurt?"
Alice says," I didn't tell him . And my neck is fine."
Jj shakes her head and apologizes," I am so sorry i."
Alice says," its ok love I was the one who made the call to go in. You told me to wait for backup but I heard the girls down there. I just couldn't wait."
Reid says," I was talking to Gideon. Him and both agree that the action was statistically the best option. My guess is this guy stalks the outside saw the car and was going to go in a kill both girls."
Morgan says," you saved their and JJs life."
Jj hugs her as the food shows up to the table gently set down on the table by a young blonde male. Alice looks him up and down before biting in to her burger.
The waiter says," Anything else I can get for you guys?," glancing over at Alice.
Alice covers her mouth and says," you are all good . Thank you."
They laugh as the guy walks away. Morgan says," your boyfriend walker?"
Alice says," only have love for you."
Reid whines," whelp."
Alice says," you know I love you too spence. I even let you sleep in my bed next to me," she winks.
Reids face blushes bright red smirking .
Jj says," ooo Reid. "
Alice finishes her food and says," I am going to text Hotch. "
Reid says," you should take pictures so we can add charges on this guy."
Alice snaps a picture of her neck and temple sending it to Hotch.
Reid finished his food with the rest of the group. The waiter comes bring the check grabbing the food. Alice pulls out her card writing a ten percent tip on the bill.
Jj smiles and says," saving my life and paying for my food. "
Reid says," Thank you Alice you didn't have to."
Morgan winks and says," got you next time baby girl."
Jj laughs and says," flirting always."
Alice looks at Morgan remembering him asking about Alex.
Morgan gets out his phone showing the group the texts of Alex threatening him.
Alice hugs Morgan and says," I can text him I am sorry. "
Morgan says," dont I can handle him. He won't go anywhere near you."
Jj says," I am so happy that you got away from him."
Reid knuckles white from clenching them says," dont text him. He will get what he wants which is you to answer him."
Alice gets her car noticing a number on her receipt with a smiley face. Morgan laughs and says," of course he would give you his number."
They all walk up together around ten saying goodnight leaving Alice so ever eager to read the message from Hotch.
She locks the room and reads the message from Hotch," I heard about it . It looks awful. I am sorry that happened to you."
She falls asleep forgetting to answer the text. She wakes up around 6 from a nightmare. She walks into the bathroom splashing water into her face.
She gets her suitcase ready walking out of her room to see Morgan awake also with coffee. She texts Hotch," What happened with Elle?"
Morgan hands her a cup of coffee and the rest of team comes out to the room. Gideon comes out and says," Ready Alice?"
Alice smiles and says," I got you Jason."
He smirks as we follow him into a black suv driving the car the twenty mins to the police station. We are greeted by a bunch of journals trying to get the information. We all push past the journalists annoyed.
Alice talks to the guy for forty minutes trying to pick his brain . Gideon comes in and says," We are all good agent ."
Walker walks out of the room smiling as the cops tackled the guy cuffing him.
The rest of the time by on the jet. Reid is dead asleep on the jet same with Morgan and JJ.
Gideon is ready a book infront of Alice. The 4 hour flight comes and go the team exhausted as they walk into the office around 4 o clock.
Hotch looking more stressed than usual hands in his hair from frustration. Gideon says," I say we call it a day. Alice I need you to report to Hotch. All paperwork due in the next two days to Hotch."
Alice walks up to the office knocking on the door. Hotch frustrated says," come in."
Alice says," Gideon told me to report to you for special paperwork."
Hotch hands her the paperwork glaring at her. The rest of the team seen through the window leaving for the day.
Hotch says, " I want the paperwork by tomorrow . I saved the pictures ill staple all of it when you bring it then send it Strauss."
Alice nods and goes to leave with the paperwork.
Hotch says," Alice ? "
She smiles at him saying her name and says," Yes Aaron ?"
He says," I am sorry you got hurt. I blame myself for not being there. If it helps Gideon explained that you were an actual badass. "
Alice says," Thank you sir. Gideon saved me actually hes the badass."
Hotch remarks," dont under sell yourself. You are a good asset to this team."
Alice smirks and whispers," Thanks daddy."
Hotch coughs and says," Go home and get out of my office agent before I write you up."
She laughs on her way out looking back to see Hotchs face in a wild smile.
