Save me - an Ashley Olsen story

Plain old Saturday

I put my phone away and rested my hands on the sink. I dropped my head and took a breath to slow my heart. Once steady I pushed up and walked out of the bathroom. This is going to be a long weekend...

POV JJ

Leaving the bathroom I walk to the living room where everyone is gathered. "You ok Jen?" Lizzie asks me. "Ya I'm fine, I have to head out though I have some work I need to do before I leave for Texas." I tell her. "Ok, can I see you before you go though?" She asked sadly. I gave her a small smile and said, "of course Liz" and gave her a hug. Then I gave Scarlett a hug as she was right next to her. "Talk to you later Scarlett thank you for having me over." I told her. "Please, your family be safe and I hope I can see you before you leave too?" She said. "Ya I'll make sure I stop by." I tell her. I turn to Rose who is sitting on the couch. "Hey monkey, I have to go now. But I'll see you soon ok?" I tall her. She runs up to me and I lift her up. "I don't want you to go auntie JJ" she wined. I sighed and said, "I know me neither but I have to do some important work and I'll see you in a couple days ok?" "You're going to get the bad guys?" She asked. I smiled and said, "ya, monkey I'm going to get the bad guys" she nodded and let me set her down. I turned to Ashley and smiled, "it was nice to see you again Ash." I told her. She smiled and said, "it was good to see you again too. Maybe we could get coffee sometime, before you leave?" She asked hesitantly. I nodded and said, "ya, we can definitely do that I'll let you know. Give me your phone." I say. She hands me her phone and I type my put myself in, Jay🐦. And gave it back to her. "Alright I'll see you guys soon ok?" I say and they all say goodbye as I walk out the door.

I arrived home 10 minutes later and was now sitting on my couch. I was waiting on a response from Hotch and Emily. I can't wrap my head around it. Why did he call? How did he find out? What game is he playing? Oh! The recording I need to listen to that, it'll probably give me some more insight into his head. I thought, so I jumped up and walked to my office. Opening up my laptop I clicked on the recording Hotch sent me. "Hello Mr. Docks. My name is special agent Aaron Hotchner and this is special agent David Rossi." Hotch said "I already told the police I have nothing to say" Robert said. Wow Hotch sounds so young... "Well then you can listen and stop us if anything is wrong." Rossi said, and continued "You're name is Robert Jones Docks, age 36 born and raised in McAlester Oklahoma. You are an only child, parents divorced when you were 13. Dad moved away and left you both. After that your mom brought him lots of guys. They never stayed and your mom just used them." Hotch continued, "You finished High school but didn't go to college. You got a job working at the hardware store in town. You were a loner no friends, kept to yourself. You were a good employee, you worked in that hardware store for 15 years until you got fired for having multiple complaints about harassing young women." Rossi picked it back up, "you spiraled stated to drink and then one afternoon in November the police were at your door. Your mother was killed by one of her boyfriends, he was caught and put away but you were left devastated. One would think you would go after the men, but no. You were and maybe still are angry with your mother. She didn't love them and maybe she couldn't live you either." Rossi said. There was silence, I heard a chair scuff then Hotch spoke. "You could never find anyone to live you, you loved plenty but the women never showed any interest. You were invisible. And you. Blame your mom for it. Your inability to be loved. To be used by all of these women, it must have made you feel humiliated. Maybe you even feel emasculated. And your way of getting that expressed is through brutality killing women and then taking their hearts and putting them in cages like yours is. Hotch said. "You don't know me! I won't explain myself to you. And I'll be as famous as Manson because you won't and can't figure me out. I'm done talking, hopefully you found all of them. You severely underestimated how much you think I'm hurting." Docks spat at them. There was a scuff and then a click and the file ended. That's interesting. Hotch had some notes about potential victims but none were ever found. Is he being honest? Is there more than they said? Something else had to be behind this...right? I sat in my chair thinking. I know I'm missing something, it can't be just his mother because it said his mother died a couple months before the killing. So why? I sighed and rubbed my temples. I picked up my phone and noticed I got a couple texts,
