Life After College

Chapter 13

Alexis' POV

"Let's do this," I said.

"DC prep school," said Hotch. "Prentiss is your sister."

"Time to go to school," said Rossi. "Walk."

"Come on," said Prentiss. I picked up the light pink backpack near the table. "Let's go." I started walking with Prentiss. "Do you like the FBI?"

"I love working there and I'm glad to know people like you," I said. "Emily Prentiss." I looked at her. "I love your name."

"Thank you," said Prentiss. "By the looks of it, Morgan likes you."

"I know," I said. "But its his choice."

"Alright," said Prentiss. We got to the school. "Looks like the kids are in the school yard. Blend in." She put an ear piece in my ear. "Have fun at school sis."

"I'll try," I said as we hugged. I walked into the school yard and sat at a picnic table. Two other girls sat with me. "Hi."

"I'm Monica and this is Annie," said the girl.

"Fake name," said Prentiss. "Your name is Violet."

"Hi," I said. "I'm Violet."

"Is that your sister?" asked Annie.

"Mhm," I said. "That's Emily."

Morgan's POV

"I'm here baby girl," I said.

"Loud and clear," said Alexis as the two girls at the table left her. "Profile on the unsub?"

"Male, caucasion, late twenties," I said.

"Unsub spotted heading towards you," said Prentiss.

"Got it," said Alexis. She opened her bag. "Close in."

"Hi, you must be a new student," said the unsub.

"Yeah," said Alexis smiling. "And something you don't know about me." She pulled her gun on the unsub. "FBI." She put her hand up to her ear. "Close in."

"Closing in," I said. I stood next to Alexis with my gun. We surrounded him. "You have no where to run." The officers came and took him away. "You did good."

"Thanks," said Alexis grabbing her backpack. "Let's head back to the BAU." We did. "I'm changing."

"Alright," I said. Alexis walked out of the bathroom wearing a beautiful red dress with her makeup done. She had a tiara on her head wearing red stilletoes. She walked to her office with the light pink backpack. She closed the door and sat down. "Odd." She started to get on her laptop and looked at the case file. "I've never seen her like this."

"Well, its not unusual," said JJ. "She hasn't celebrated her birthday since she started college."

"You should take her out," said Prentiss.

"I will," I said looking at my watch. "It's already six." I knocked on her office door. I opened it. "Hey, you okay?"

Alexis' POV

"No," I said as I looked at the pictures of the young girls. "I am not."

"Okay," said Morgan closing the door behind me. "So, talk to me."

"I am sick of the sickos," I said.

"And?" asked Morgan sitting in the chair across from me.

"There has got to be more to life than being surrounded by this," I said.

"Okay. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down," said Morgan. "Since when does Alexis Inthavong gonna throw in the towel?"

"Since exactly now," I said.

"Listen baby girl. I know you're upset. So am I," said Morgan. "But what you're trying to do right now is distance yourself from anymore loss and I get it. I do the same thing."

"I'm not some unsub you can try to relate to and then break down," I said.

"You have every right to be angry," said Morgan. "But there's nothing you can do."

"No, Derek. You don't understand me," I said. "I don't like change. I have major control issues."

"Noooo. Say it ain't so not you," said Morgan. I slightly smiled in the silence. "I just made you smile, didn't I?"

"Maybe," I said.

"Good," said Morgan.

"I hate you," I said.
