chapter 65

Jj went in the interrogation room.
She asked about his social security number and so on. He had no hesitation to answer any of those questions.
It was getting under Tara's skin. Spencer came back with her dad. She decided to go and talk to him.
Her dad told her about Gabriel's work partner and gave the information to penelope.

I was in the bullpen with p when Spencer walked in.

"Guys we are being set up"
He placed a picture of Gabriel's work partner on the board.
Lewis and alvez were on the phone with p.
"What do you mean reid?" Luke asked

I stand up and walk closer to the desk penelope was working off
"The face in the drivers licence photo has perfect symmetry, like perfect!"

Nobody ever has actually perfect face symmetry. Atleast not naturally.

"Beyond what the human genome can produce "  Spencer went on.

"The picture is a computer generated forgery" I added. Spencer nodded.
Penelope turned to both of us.

"Who would hack into the dmv and plant a fake..." she stopped mid sentence as she realised.

Mister scratch...

Alvez and Lewis rushed to the apartment were Gabriel's has been living.

Tara luke came back to the bau. They had found a video on loop of Gabriel screaming lukes name. Showing mister scratch gassing him.

We were sitting in the conference room when emily walked in.

"I placed protective details on hayden and joy and will and the boys. We need to assume that mister scratch is targeting this entire team" she said sitting down.

"I mean that could be why he had Gabriel screaming out my name. He wants us to know he knows I'm part of the bau now" luke said

"But isn't his m.o to drug his victims and make them hallucinate?" Em asked.
Jj immediately responded.
"Then he evolved he's taking these victims with multiple personalities and brainwashing them with someone else's memories"
Luke followed up.

"So he took Tara's brother and did god knows what, to get him to spill his life story"
"And then planted those memories in the guy downstairs. The more memories he has the stronger the identity he can create." I added

"He must have put Gabriel's whole life
Inside of Desmond" jj said.

We had just found out what the guys actually name was.

"Well, the good news is we have a lost from before. Patients with D.I.D scratch my target next" Penelope said.

"Okay cross reference those against missing persons" I ask her.
She nodded and does so.

"The rest of us needs to figure out how to deprogram the unsub safely hes still our best lead to scratch and Gabriel" em said.

Spencer pitched in aswell.
"It's the pictures that are baffling. Scrath let them out specifically to call our attention to them"

When Lewis and alvez were in that building they found 3 picture.

"He's a math genius, he likes us to solve his puzzles. Which usually tends to lead to bigger traps" luke said.

"But it's the configuration that's strange. The pictures are obviously of Gabriel at different ages, but normally one would arrange them on chronological or reverse chronological order. 15, 11, 32 is a pattern that he wants us to see." I spoke.
Spencer smiled at me for figuring that out. He's been teaching me alot.

"Not us, tara. Its a pattern he wants her to see" Rossi corrected me.

Tara went to go talk with her dad  about the pictures. The picture of Gabriel at 15, neither of them remember it.

Penelope called is in the conference room again.
"Good news I confirmed this man is called Desmond holt, he was diagnosed with D.I.D after his mother died and his stepfather started to make him play Russian roulette regularly"

"Eem that's the good news?" I ask her with a yawn. This cade was making me tired.
"Ow yea bc the bad news is that I got a video from Desmond's therapist. Doctor Lawrence who was very concerned when Desmond went missing. Thus is why.."
That reminded me I had to ask my therapist for a new prescription for my anxiety meds. And well also I had a session booked.

Penelope shows us the video
Desmond was shaking in the video.
"She tried to get Desmond to reconize his other identities. He went into a disassociate break for 6 months"
P explained.
I gasped "Poor guy" I wisperd.

"So if we get Desmond to see he's not Tara's brother. We could end up doing the same thing?" Emily asked.
"O doctor Lawrence is surprised we haven't already"

We really didn't want to do that so we decided to give him everything he wants. Emily prepared Tara for the interview while I was sitting at my desk.

Spencer placed a bag infront of me
"What's that?"
I ask him.
"Food. None of us has eaten lunch yet and it's already 3pm. So I brought every food. I bought some chicken noodle soup for us 2"
He took it out of the bag and gave me a spoon.
"Emily told you to baby sit me didn't she" I rais my eyebrows.
"Actually she asked penelope but she was bussy so I said I would stay with you"
I roll my eyes.

I open take my spoon and eat the soup. Soup was fine for me to eat, I was worried about the noodles tho. But it's soo good...
I slowly eat the soup.
"You want to eat it here or join the rest?" Spencer asked.
"Here is fine. I don't like that everyone looks at me" I finish the soup, thank Spencer and get back to work.

I started to feel sick and run into the bathroom.
I just made it to the toilet and puke everything out. I start to cry as everything continues to come out leaving no room for air to fill my longs.

Jj comes out the stall next to me ans holds my hair. I finnaly stop barffing and can breathe. I cry out bc I was panicking.
"Shh it's okay" she rubbs my back.
"I didn't do it on purpose I promise" I say to her. I take my head out the toilet and close the lid and flush. I sit down om the ground with my head against the wall. Jj grabbed some toilet paper so I can clean my mouth and wipe my tears.
"I know you didn't" she says when sitting down next to me.
"Your body is probably not used to eating so much anymore and rejected the food"

I couldn't stop crying. I didnt do it on purpose but it felt so good that my stomach was empty again. It suited my thoughts a bit.
"Want me to get emily?" Jj asked.
I did want emily but she was bussy.
"I can't just ask her to drop everything and come to comfort me"
I say wiping my tears.

I still felt a little nauseous.
Jj got up. "She's watching Tara interview Desmond. And I'm sure she could use a break" jj left and I put my head over the toilet again. As I felt like I was going to puke again.

And in a few seconds I did.
Emily came in in that exact moment.
She held my hair until the puke session was over. I once again close to toilet and flush. Still sitting on the ground.
"I didn't meant to-"
She grabbed my hands.
"I know don't worry...jj told me. Your stomach probably shrunk and isn't used to you eating 3 meals anymore"
She wiped my tears and held me in her arms.

"I'm so sorry..." I cried on her shoulder.
"Babe you have nothing to be sorry for" she said trying to comfort me.
"It's just you didn't sign up for this...when we got together I made you believe I was okay. And now you have to deal with all of this....I would understand of you didn't want to move in anymore or-"
Emily cut me off.

She pushed me slightly so we could see my face. And held it in her soft and tender hands.
I lean my head in them and grab her wrist as a tear fell down my face.
"Stop right there. I love you y/n and I'm not backing out just bc things are difficult sometimes. I'm with you through all of it. Okay? I'm not going anywhere"  I hug her again and stay in her arms until I calm down.
