Metanoia [Book 3]

four; god's of combat

I walked off the elevator after dropping a case of water of to Ellie and Sarah's soccer practice. l and Penelope and Kevin were standing there. "Oh, my sweet child. I'm so happy you're here. We need all hands on deck." She said and I raised an eyebrow and the smell of Kevin's coffee made me want to throw up.

I walked through the glass doors of the BAU and saw officers everywhere. "What we have is a school bus abduction. Which occurred at approximately 1pm this afternoon." Derek said and Rossi took over.

"What we do know is that there were 24 students on board, along with the driver and the monitor. " Derek said and Anthony came around holding a file reading it." GPS appears to have been disabled. Last known ping was a little over 2 hours ago" He said and Spencer spoke.

"We are likely to be dealing with more than 1 UnSub. We've attempted to contact everyone on board but so far all calls have been unanswered." He said and Hotch came down and spoke. "We'll be setting up. Let's go." He said and I began feeling nauseous. 

"Hey, you got caught up right? I was going to have Sofia go over it with you but she's in Puerto Rico with her family." Anthony said wearing his grey suit and he raised in eyebrow. "Hads, you okay?" He asked and I looked up and nodded. "Yeah, I just have to go to the bathroom." I said and he nodded and I left to go vomit.

In the SUV I sat in the front seat with Anthony. Alyssa sat in the backseat and she was looking through the file. "Are we sure about all of this? What if it was the students?" She asked and I shrugged. 

"Maybe it is. All I know is that this is serious enough to have Anthony and I on this as Profilers." I said and he nodded agreeing.

He turned to me as he was driving and smirked.I looked up at him and raised an eyebrow. "What?" I asked and he grinned.  I put the file down and turned to him. "You going to keep staring at me or tell me what the hell is the creepy smile for?" I asked and he looked back on the road.

"Oh, nothing. I just wanna know why you threw up." He said and I turned to him and raised an eyebrow. "W-What?" I asked and Alyssa snorted.

"C'mon you don't think..." She said but trailed off when Anthony glanced at her into the rearview mirror.

"Oh...OH. No. " She said and I looked at her confused. "When was the last time you and Spencer had sex?" Anthony asked and I chocked on my own spit.

"Excuse me?" I asked and he raised an eyebrow and I licked my lips. "It doesn't matter. I'm not pregnant." I said and he smirked.

"Am I going to be an uncle? What about a godfather? Am I going to be a godfather?" He asked and I shook my head. "I'm not pregnant, Anthony. "I said and he pulled into the spot close to where the bus was taken.

"Sure. All I'm saying it that you don't just throw up for no reason. Or maybe you do. I don't know. But if you are. You have to tell Hotch." He said and got out the car. I looked back at Alyssa and she gave me a sheepish smile and got out as well. I took a deep breath and opened the door and got out.

Before I even got to go talk to Spencer, Alyssa looked down at her phone and looked up at me and spoke loudly. "A body was found. Hotch wants you both now." She said and I nodded and we both left to find the body.

"SSA Hadley LaMontagne, this is my partner SSA Anthony Walton. We're CSI." I said and the lead investigator nodded and we walked over to the body that had a white sheet over it. The officers handed us our gloves and we both slipped them on.

I took the chart from one of the investigators and quickly read through it. I looked up seeing Hotch and the detective walk to us along with Rossi.

"Roy Webster. He suffered to bullet wounds. The first was a clean shot to the left leg. The second in his chest." I said and watched as Anthony pulled back the covers. "Tests?" He asked and I took the pen from the top and wrote to the side of the paper speaking at the same time.

"Uh, standard. Rape test, Toxicology, DNA and um that's it."I said and he nodded and took my clip board and went to talk to the lead investigator.

"Wait- Garcia just sent us pin points to a shed." Rossi said and Hotch looked at me- signaling me to go but I shook my head. "Take Anthony. I'll finish up here." I said and he nodded and left. 

"I got the '911' text. What happened?" I asked holding a file in my hand as I walked into the office. "We need help. Did the lab come back?" Hotch asked and I nodded and handed it to him. "Yeah. All negative. Died from blood loss. Rape, DNA all of our standards came back negative." I said and he nodded.

"Abducting a bus, a form of transportation, gas masks, shock collars. Dividing people into teams. This sounds a lot like 'God's of Combat'. This is a video game." Rossi said and I tilted my head and I'm guessing Anthony did the same thing because Rossi looked at us.

"What's I'm cool." He said and Anthony nodded agreeing. "Yes, Grandpa, you're cool." He said and Alex looked at Rossi. "Wait a minute. You've played this game before?" She asked and he shrugged. "Maybe once or twice." He said and I raised my eyebrows.

" I have a teenager and a granddaughter." He said defending himself and I laughed. "Rossi, Gemma and Ellie don't play video games." I said and then I began feeling nauseous when I smelled Spencer's coffee. 

JJ grabbed her bag and looked at me. "Hey, can you come with me?" She asked and I nodded and got up from leaning on the desk.I followed her to the outside and she reached into her purse and pulled out a sleeve of saltine cracker and handed it to me. "It helps with the nausea." She said and I shook my head. "I'm not nauseous." I said and she raised an eyebrow.

"I was the one who was in the bathroom with you today. Anthony paid me to spy on you. "She said and I took the crackers from her. "Does he know?" She asked and I looked down.

"I'm not pregnant." I said and she scoffed. "Hadley, you are. I can tell. If you want. I'll go buy a test in about an hour and you can take it." She said and I nodded my heart racing and she smiled and put a hand on my shoulder. 

"Don't be scared. It's fine." She said and leaned in to hug me. And I wrapped my arms around her- wanting to throw up still.
