Criminal Minds Series Rewrite: Season Five

100: Final Part

"Alright, Foyet has to be in control," Derek says. "He had Haley come to him."

"Where would he take her?" Spencer asks.

"He'd want Hotch to find him, to see where he was, and to see what he did. He said something on that call that told Hotch where to go."

"Reid, what did he say exactly?"

"'Haley's hair looks good dark. She's lost some weight. ... It must be because of all the stress you caused her. ... Where's the little man? Oh, there he is now. ... Do you think he likes Captain America because of you? ... That's your wife on the other line. Hold, please. ... Hi. Open the gate and I'll drive in.'"

"Open the gate?" Rossi asks, confused. "It would be someplace with the biggest emotional impact for Hotch, and Haley has access to the gate."

"It's their house," you say. "You know, where they used to live together. It means the most to Hotch. If he plans on killing her, he wants to taint the good memories Hotch has there."

"She's right," Derek nods. "He wants to take over Hotch's home, to be in control and prove his dominance."

Your team gets into two separate cars but is connected on the phone. Derek calls Hotch and places him on speakerphone.

"Morgan."

"He's going to your house. I'm sending out a full tactical deployment, Hotch."

"I know."

"We're on our way."

Hotch hangs up but Penelope stays on the line.

"Foyet's calling Hotch," Penelope says over the phone.

"Garcia, can you get us on?"

She does and Hotch's voice comes through the car's speaker. Dread creeps up your body because you know what's coming. Death. Death is coming.

"Foyet," Hotch glares.

"Aaron? You're okay?" Haley gasps.

"I'm fine."

"He said that... Oh, Aaron," she sighs.

"He can hear us, right?"

"Yes, I'm so sorry."

"Haley, show him no weakness, no fear."

"I know. Sam told me all about him. Is he, uh--"

"No, Sam is fine.'

"Aaron, Aaron, Aaron. Is that why your marriage broke up? Because you're a liar?" Foyet says from a distance.

He's in the room but he's not right next to the phone.

"Don't listen to him, Haley."

"I have Sam's service phone right here. They sent out a mass text about his death. You can take a look if you want."

"He's trying to scare you."

"Did you even tell her what this was about? About the deal?" Foyet teases.

"He's just trying to make you angry, Haley."

"She should be. She's gonna... d-i-e because of your inflated ego."

He speaks softly when he spells the word 'die' and you can only assume Jack is in the room with them.

"Ignore him, Haley," Hotch urges.

"I'm sure you don't want her to know this part either. All he had to do was stop looking for me and you wouldn't be in this mess."

"Don't react."
