Double Agent

Chapter 3

The team was at a bar, Super Bowl Sunday, and Olivia couldn't feel more awkward. Hailey had shown up and she instantly separated from the group. She had a beer and she was standing outside, Hotch had noticed her absence but he couldn't really do anything about it. Derek could though. He walked over to the group from the dance floor, Penelope frowning, "Hey, chocolate thunder. What's wrong?", he glanced at Hotch, "I happened to notice a certain super spy was missing from action.", Hotch glanced down. In the last few weeks, it was becoming apparent that there was more to Hotch and Hex's story than they let on. Especially after the last case where Olivia shot a UnSub in the forehead when he aimed at a downed Hotch. "She needed a break.", Derek frowned, "Well, I need a dance partner that won't steal my wallet.", Emily laughed, "I think Liv is more inclined to stealing your wallet, Morgan.", and he smiled as he went outside. His eyes landing on the black hair woman. She had on black slick leggings, a maroon cropped corset top, heels, a black leather jacket, and she wore minimum makeup. She sighed, speaking in Russian. "Я в порядке, Копай. То, что я все еще люблю его, не означает, что я не могу с ним работать.*.", Derek lent beside her on the wall and she relaxed into his side. His head resting on hers, "I need to go. Thanks for checking in. Tell my wife I miss her.", she smiled before she let it fall. "Goodbye, Dig.", and she hung up. She took a sip of her beer. "What's wrong?", she glanced at Derek, "Nothing, Dig just wanted to make sure I was okay.", he nodded, "That's part of it, but you left well before your phone rang. And don't think I didn't notice you avoiding the glances of those guys.", she chuckled, "Someone has to stay sober enough to get you home, Tomcat.", he laughed and he noticed how relaxed she was with him, with the team. "What's your story with Hotch and Hailey?", she licked her lips, "History. And it isn't worth repeating.", her mind gave her flashbacks of London and she felt her jaw clench and he frowned, "No, don't close up on me, Hex.", she glanced at him, "I'm not, Derek. I promise.", he frowned, "You don't make promises.", JJ walked outside. The two looked at her as she hung up, "Case?", the blonde nodded, "Yeah, and it's bad.", and the two sighed before JJ looked at the dark haired female, "You okay?", Olivia nodded, "I'm fine. Nothing my lover here couldn't fix. I just needed air and Dig wanted to call.", and she took a breath, "You riding with me?", he nodded and the duo made their way over to the 1973 Black Dodge Charger.

Olivia had separated to go change and clean up as the team settled to talk about the case. Hotch watching as she avoided eye contact. He knew he should have told Hailey before tonight's outing and he knew he should have told Olivia that Hailey was coming, but he didn't want his wife mad and he didn't want Olivia to come up with an excuse to not come out with the team. "Actually, there's no evidence that we get more cases because you're doing something fun.", Emily spoke, "How hard is it for you to get make in your groove, anyways.", Olivia walked in as Derek sat down and she wrapped her arms around his shoulders as her chin rested on his head, "With me around, no time at all.", she winked at the man as she grabbed a cup and made herself a coffee. The team laughed and Gideon walked in as JJ marched in. Olivia glancing at Hotch before zoning back into the discussion. Olivia ran her eyes over the photos. She stood up straight from being wrapped around Derek, Hotch looking at her, "The murder was mission based? That means he isn't going to stop. Not until his mission is complete.", and the team looked at her. Gone was her party outfit, in its place she wore dark skinny jeans, a red blouse, combat boots, and her leather jacket. Derek placed his hand over hers that rested at the base of his neck and Hotch clenched his jaw.

The team was in the jet, Olivia taking a nap as they waited for Garcia. Garcia called in and Olivia's eyes opened. She listened to the audio. "UnSub one called for a reason unknown, UnSub two, I am assuming is Raphael. The unsubs killed them for having too much stuff and left a bible verse as a reason for their deaths. A glutton. If these unsubs are going after sinners.", Reid spoke, "The mission is never over.", she nodded as she rested her head on Derek's shoulder and he glanced down at her. Over the last two months, Olivia had gotten close to the team. Viewing them as family, but none more than Spencer and Derek. Her brothers. She had regular checkins with Dig and the president as well as already having a meeting about her lack of formality with suspects and officers that pushed her buttons but it's like she said back in Nevada, she listens to the President and the President alone and he laughed at her antics.

Olivia went to the crime scene with Derek, Spencer, and Gideon. Her mind thinking about the blood and the scene. She shook her head, "This is overkill. And how did he pick them. How did he know they had too much. They've had to have been watched. My partner calls the police, I have to kill and fast.", her eyebrows farrowed and Derek's phone rang as Reid walked over, "There's a video of the murder on the internet?", Olivia glanced at Derek before she looked at the computer, "Son of a bitch.", and the team went back to the station.

Olivia had coffee as they watched a video, her ears catching the different voice. "Three unsubs? What is going on?", Hotch shook his head at her and she turned toward the computer. She swallowed as she walked over to the team, "We need Pen. Now.", and the team looked at her, "The computer camera turned on. We need to see if they have call tech support. And, I'm betting the UnSub left a virus.", Reid clicked his tongue, "The armies of satan shall not prevail.", and she sighed. The UnSub was gone. She sighed and pinched her fingers to her nose. Emily told the team what she found out from the ME and Reid was talking about the unsubs. Olivia took one of her chips. "Neither UnSub is doing this against their own will. I think it's part of the ritual. The kill was mission based. How would we know it's a mission without a statement?",  the team looked at Olivia and she sighed. "A prowler called in by a witness walking his dog. Prowler gone by the time police arrived.", Olivia stood up, "Reid, JJ, and I can go find the witness.", a deputy walked in, "We have another one.", Olivia looked at Hotch, "Reid would be more efficient at a crime scene.", Gideon nodded, "You and JJ go.", she nodded, "Be careful.", she glanced at Hotch, "I'll try.", and the two females left the station.

JJ glanced at Olivia as she drove, "At the bar-", Olivia glanced at JJ before sighing, "You promise not to share a word.", JJ nodded. "Hotch and I have known each other for 12 years. Hotch and Hailey have only been married for 10. 12 years ago, Hotch and I were both sent to London for cases. We met at Scotland Yard. We were in London for awhile. In fact, besides my previous case, I was in London the longest. 10 months. In those 10 months, I bonded with Hotch. Friends, Coworkers, lovers. Upon our return to the United States. I was on leave for about 4 months before I was called away to my next mission. In 14 months, I fell in love with Aaron Hotchner. I'm a workaholic. I was going on missions constantly, sometimes being gone for 3 to 5 months at a time undercover or jumping from case to case. He wanted a family and stability. I was just starting out at my job. I couldn't offer him what he wanted. So, I broke up with him. For his happiness. 10 months later, he's marrying Hailey Brookes, his high school sweetheart.", she took a deep breath, "I'll never hate him for picking Hailey. I'll never regret putting my career first. But I have also never stopped loving Hotch. Which is part of the reason I agreed to come to the BAU and help bring down Strauss.", Jennifer looked at her. "He hasn't told her about you joining the team.", Olivia licked her lips, "And I didn't know he was joining last night.", JJ frowned. But the two went the rest of the drive in silence.

Olivia figured JJ was more approachable than she was so she let the blonde go forward. Olivia grabbing her phone, an uneasy feeling in her stomach, she clicked a button to engage her GPS. She had spotty cell service. JJ knocked and the two women watched as Tobias Hankle opened the door. "Mr. Hankle, I'm JJ and this is Olivia. We're with the FBI. Can we come in?", Tobias was uneasy about them coming in. "You witnessed something a few months ago, it may be helpful. A 911 call while walking a dog. You saw a prowler?", he shook his head. Olivia's eyes widened as they walked away, "JJ, he's the UnSub.", JJ looked at her, "He was gauging the response time so he could kill them.", Olivia ran around the side of the house and noticed the computer screens, "He's the UnSub. JJ.", Olivia swallowed, "Call Dig as soon as you get cell service, okay? Have him give Penelope the code.", JJ frowned but Tobias ran. "Go, I'll get him.", JJ frowned, "We shouldn't split up.", Olivia softly smiled, "Yes, we should. For your safety. Get in the car and head back toward town. I bet 100 bucks they know it's him. I can take him. I'm used to solo missions.", and Olivia ran toward the back, her gun drawer and her taser. She heard someone in the corn and she groaned, "This is gonna suck some serious ass.", and she went into the corner, she heard Tobias talking and she realized, he had multiple personalities. Himself and Raphael. She heard JJ scream and gunshots, "Jen!"  And she ran back through the corn but she was knocked down. "Jen!", she rolled to her back and looked up at Tobias, her eyes hard as her gun started down at her face. She could easily take him. But she wanted to know more. "Do whatever you want to me, but leave JJ alone. She's innocent.", she held her hands up and clenched her jaw as Tobias punched her across the jaw.

*"Im fine, Dig. Just because I still love him doesn't mean that I can't work with him."*
