Dorothea's POV
"Everybody, meet Agent Emily Prentiss and her daughter Dorothea." Aaron says, introducing us to everyone. The only people that I haven't really met was Spencer Reid and Jason Gideon, though I only spoke to Derek on the phone and not in person. I'm currently doing my schoolwork on my laptop that Penelope upgraded for me with the best software and protections in the BAU.
"I've been filling Emily in on protocol." JJ says before giving me a gentle smile.
"Derek Morgan." Derek introduces himself to us.
"We can make nice later. What do we know?" Aaron says, indicating to the case that they're working on.
"The DEA raided what they thought was a hardened meth lab right here, in Northern Virginia, but they found this instead." JJ says while I continue doing my English assignment on the laptop.
"That could be a dispersal device for a chemical weapon. Sophisticated." Derek suggests,
"Homeland security's thinking Al Qaeda." JJ tells us.
"They've developed devices that span the spectrum of sophistication, some as simple as soda bottles and paint cans." The younger guy next to me says and I knew he was Spencer because he was the only one somewhat close to my age.
"They're called al ikhteraa. Literally "the invention"." Mommy says before giving my shoulder a gentle squeeze, probably sensing that I needed it.
"Do we know what the biological or chemical agent is yet?" Aaron asked us.
"No, not yet." Derek replied.
"The cell members bailed out through a tunnel. The DEA recovered a Nextel 2-way and managed to intercept a message. That's not the transcript. It's..." JJ started to say.
"No, it's in Arabic... Our friends surprised us and eloped. We can no longer wait for the wedding as planned. We can deliver our gift at the next crescent...I lived in several middle-eastern countries growing up." Mommy says.
"Next crescent?" Jason asked.
"Muslims sometimes use a lunar calendar." Mommy says while I continue working on my assignment.
"Next crescent moon is in two days." Penelope says.
"So whatever they're attacking, it's happening in less than forty-eight hours." Jason explains.
"Payment for the Nextel is linked to this man...Jind Allah." JJ says.
"Literally "soldier of God"." Mommy says.
"Two months ago, Jind Allah was captured leaving the U.S. Using a forged Pakistani passport via Richmond international airport. He's been held as a ghost detainee in Guantanamo Bay ever since." JJ says.
"So technically, he doesn't exist." Penelope says.
"Soldier of God isn't a name." Jason says while I began counting in my head.
"No, it's most likely a name taken on for the Jihad, meaning struggle. Extremists claim it's a holy war." Mommy says while noticing my actions.
"Yet the words "holy" and "war" never appear together in the Qu'ran." Spencer says.
"Do we know his real name?" Jason asks.
"CIA interrogators have gotten nothing out of the guy." Penelope explains.
"We do know from past intercepts that he's a recruiter. He came into this country to assemble the omega cell, a sleeper cell with an unknown mission." JJ explained to us.
"We have forty-eight hours to do what the CIA hasn't been able to manage in two months." Derek says.
