60. Sydney

*In Acornville, at last*

 

*The jet lands. We each get out, and stand in front of the parked SUV’s. Hotch gives us directions*

 

Hotchner: Morgan, JJ, Prentiss, and Gideon, go to the crime scene. Jocelyn, Mayisha, Megan and Olivia, I’m going to have to ask you to interview the victims’ families. Megan and Mayisha, you interview the families, and Olivia and Jocelyn, go to your old friends and talk with them. Take Reid with you. The Doctor and I will set up. *gets into his SUV*

 

Me: *stares after him*

 

Doctor: Bye, my love. *pecks me quickly on the lips* *gets into the SUV*

 

Jocelyn: *sadly* C’mon guys. *gets into the SUV*

 

*Reid drives. Reid, Jocelyn and I pull into the parking lot of our old Middle School*

 

Reid: According to Hotch, they’re having a school service for Victoria Elric, Sheyla Light and Ella Caron. I bet you that most of your friends will be at this service.

 

Me: *sniffles* One of them might be the murderer.

 

Jocelyn: Darn, this isn’t going to be fun.

 

Me: Agreed.

 

*We get out. Jocelyn grabs Reid’s hand and squeezes it tightly. His eyes practically pop out of his head when Joss nearly squeezes his fingers off but he doesn’t say anything. I smirk and laugh silently to myself, glad that Jocelyn finally now has someone who loves her and will allow her to squeeze their fingers off. Reid’s a great guy, especially for someone as fragile as Jocelyn is*

 

*We enter the gym area. Everyone is sitting in chairs, neatly placed and in rows, listening to none other than Sydney Tenant, a good friend of theirs. She had been a writer when they were in school, and now she had written a beautiful speech to honor those lost. They sit and listen for a while. By the end, both Jocelyn and I are crying*

 

Me: Should we talk to Syd now? *sniffle*

 

Jocelyn: Come on.

 

*The three of us approach Sydney after everyone had cleared from her and are now milling around aimlessly, making senseless conversation with each other and not really caring what happens*

 

Jocelyn: S-Sydney?

 

Syd: JOCELYN! *hugs her* LIVI! *hugs me*

 

Me: Hey, Syd.

 

Syd: I’m so glad you guys made it! I missed you.

 

Jocelyn: We wouldn’t miss this for the world.

 

Syd: Yeah… *sees Reid* Who’s he?

 

Reid: I’m--

 

Me: Jocelyn’s boyfriend.

 

Jocelyn: WHAT?!

 

Reid: NO!

 

Syd: Ooh, Joss, you have a boyfriend?

 

Reid: I’m NOT her boyfriend.

 

Jocelyn: *hits me in the back of the head*

 

Me: OW!

 

Jocelyn: HE’S NOT MY BOYFRIEND.

 

Me: Okay, okay, fine. We’re, believe it or not, with the FBI.

 

Syd: T-the FBI?

 

Me: Yup.

 

Syd: …So you’re here to question us about the deaths of the three of our friends.

 

Reid: Sadly, yes.

 

Syd: Kay… ask away.

 

Me: Did you talk to any of these people before they died?

 

Syd: Just Ella. She’d called me the night before. She said that she swore someone was following her. *gasps* Could that mean…?

 

Jocelyn: What, Syd?

 

Syd: One of our friends. She said-

 

*There’s a crash, and a scream*

 

Syd: Hold on. *goes to see what’s going on*

 

Me: Joss, this is awful.

 

Reid: What?

 

Jocelyn: I hate questioning her.

 

Me: This is Syd we’re talking about.

 

Jocelyn: We’re QUESTIONING Sydney Tenant. This is like… illegal.

 

*Suddenly, there is a scream. It’s Sydney’s! People run out the door as Reid, Jocelyn and I run over to find Sydney’s throat slashed. Jocelyn breaks down into violent sobs, as is everyone else, while Reid and I stand over the body. Tears pour out of my eyes*

 

Me: Sydney knew who killed them. Who would kill her. She was about to tell us when they killed her.

 

Reid: It could have been anyone around here.

 

*I fall to my knees beside Syd’s body. I toss her blonde hair, my tears falling on her ice cold body. Sydney is dead, killed right before my eyes. And I couldn’t stop it*

 

Me: I could have stopped it.

Author's Note

NOES SYDNEY IS DEAD. Moment of silence for her. Oh, and all the friends mentioned are real. Syd is on here, under Wing-ed Thing. Sad ending, yes. But the chapter after the next WILL. BE. HILARIOUS.
