Ch. 3

I hope you enjoy let me know.

Ezra stood there staring into the blue eyes. The blue eyes of a supposedly dead person. He knew those I eyes he and that face he had dreamed about both a million times when he was a teenager.

'Come on Friedkin you can't just stand here staring people will think you're crazy. Maybe I am crazy I'm staring at a dead person. Say something Freakin wow I haven't thought about that in years'.

"Are you Shelby Merrick?" Ezra asked.

'Wow my voice didn't crack or anything' Ezra thought.

'I'm already screwed I might as well tell the truth,' JJ thought.

Then found that her voice wouldn't work so she shook her head yes.

Ezra stood there frozen he had know from the moment he saw her who she was but to have her admit it so easily just about floored Ezra. He had expected a lie or maybe some kind of stalling technique what he hadn't expected was for to just tell the truth.

'I've got to say something anything,' Ezra thought.

So he said the first thing that came to his mind.

"You lying scank bitch. The ice queen has returned," Ezra said, watching the tears roll down JJ's face and he felt nothing.

"Whoa wait just a minute pal," Morgan said, stepping between JJ and Ezra.

"I'm not your pal pal," Ezra said spitting the word out like it was poison. "Now move."

"Not going to happen," Morgan said.

"No you know what that's fine as long as I can hear Shelby's lies," Ezra said, moving where he could see JJ.

Emily had put her arm around JJ and JJ was crying on her shoulder.

"Come on lie to me Shelby because honestly the truth is more than I can handle. Nothing? I know I'll give you some and you can just nod or grunt or whatever when I get to one you like. Ok let's see oh I know. You've had amnesia these last seven years and you forgot how to use the phone. No that's not it uh how about this one. The cab explosion was really a mob hit. So the FBI figured there was no safer place to keep you then within its own ranks. No not that either uh. Oh this has to be it you were abducted by aliens. Well you where being held captive let me tell you what happened to your so called family," Ezra said, pulling a picture from the bottom of one of his desk drawers and pointing to Scott.

"Scott the man you said you loved. It took Peter three months to find him and then guess where he found him? Oh you're going to love this in a crack house in New York with a needle sticking out of his arm. He almost died and he never was the same again he never was truly happy again until he met Susan. I bet it just kills you that Scott found someone else and is happy," Ezra said, with a sneer.

"Scott," JJ sobbed.

"You might as well forget about him sweetheart. I'm not letting you anywhere near any of my family that includes Peter and Sophie," Ezra growled. "I'm the one who had to watch while the girls cried so hard they got sick. I'm the one who had to watch them suffer and shared their pain."

"It was an accident," JJ said, through the sobs.

"It was an accident," Ezra mocked. "How do you accidently forget to pick up a phone for seven years?" Ezra asked suddenly throwing the picture at JJ's feet, making her and Emily squeal and jump back.

"This is what you did to our family," Ezra said, stomping on the picture and grinding he's heel into to it.

"Alright let's take a step back and catch our breaths," Hotch said, putting his hand on Ezra's shoulder.

Ezra jerked away as tears filled his eyes.

"Come on Ez let's go somewhere private and talk," agent Delvin said.

Ezra shot JJ one more killer look and then let himself be led from the bull pen.

Reid got a chair for JJ to sit down and Hotch sat down across from her.

Hotch handed JJ a handful of tissues and then he gently reached out and brushed her hair from her face.

"We need to talk and I need the truth JJ," Hotch said.

Okay it's a little short but that's where my muse wanted to leave it so what could I do.

Please let me know what you think.
