Chapter 31

The next thing I knew, George and I were in the back of a cop car. I knew George would go to jail, but now that my secret was out, I didn't know what would happen to me. Aaron was probably telling his friends about me, but who knows if they would believe him? They would probably send me to a facility of some sort, but I knew it wouldn't be good.

Finally, we reached the BAU headquarters and they took us both out of the car. A dark-haired woman had a hold of my arm. She was pretty; I didn't know her name.

"You got her, Prentiss?" asked the one that had George.

I remembered him as the one who had arrested George a few weeks earlier- Agent Morgan, I think.

"Yeah, I have her. J.J. and I will have a talk with her while you put him in custody," said Prentiss.

George just smiled, "You really think that's gonna hold me? It worked so well the last time. You should be thanking her, you know. She saved Haley Hotchner's life," said George.

"She's also an accessory," said Prentiss.

"Um, she has a name," I said.

"Okay, Rachel. Tell me how the two of you met," she said.

As we went inside, she took me in to a room with no windows. She sat down across from me.

"How did you know my name?" I asked.

"Hotch told me. He also told me you and Foyet were close," said Prentiss.

"I met him when I was walking back to my dorm. After a girl stole my jacket, and I was walking, I heard someone behind me. I turned and saw him; he had on his mask. I told him he could kill me because I was ready to die after a miserable life. My mom and dad died when I was ten, and I never had any friends," I told her.

"Oh, I'm so sorry," she said.

She reached out to touch my shoulder.

"Well, anyway, before he killed me I asked him to take off his mask. I wanted to look him directly in the eyes."

"And he did that?" she asked.

"Yes, he did, but he then changed his mind and took me home with him," I replied.

"Rachel, Foyet is not what you think he is… He played you," said Agent Prentiss.

"No, you're wrong. George never played me. He was honest with me," I said, defensively, and slammed my hand down on the table.

Instantly, the lights went on and off. Agent Prentiss just sat there, stunned.

"Um, hang on a second. I need to go have a word with my team," she left the room and I was left alone.
