65. Remembering Ella CaronA Chapter by halflives*In Acornville*
*Reid pulls up to Ella’s house. The three of us get out of the SUV, and walk towards the house. I’m on the phone, listening to the dial tone as it rings, and when it goes to the Doctor’s voicemail, I angrily shut the phone and blow air out my cheeks*
Reid: What’s wrong?
Me: The Doctor won’t answer his cell phone. Either he’s avoiding me, which is extremely unlikely, or something’s happened to him. And wherever the Doctor is, there’s bound to be trouble. He’s like a goddamn MAGNET.
Reid: Oh.
Jocelyn: Could HE be trying to find the other UnSub as well?
Me: Let’s hope that’s ALL he’s doing. *calls again, just in case*
Jocelyn: From Ella’s last letter *sniffle* she said she was sharing a flat, err, HOUSE with Elizabeth.
Reid: Who?
Jocelyn: Elizabeth Benson. They were, like, inseparable best friends. Frankly, I’m not surprised they shared a house.
Reid: Were they… anymore than that?
Me: *hangs up the phone, growling* What’s that?
Jocelyn: *gets it* HELL NO.
Reid: Jeez, Joss, I’ve never heard you swear before.
Jocelyn: HOW. COULD. YOU. EVEN. THINK. THAT.
Reid: They’re sharing a house! I was only asking!
Me: LOTS OF GIRLS SHARE FLATS.
Jocelyn: AND ARE NOTHING MORE THAN FRIENDS.
Reid: Okay, okay, fine. I’m sorry I asked. *backs up*
Jocelyn: Good. I rest my case. *looks as though she want to kiss him*
Me: ANYWAY. *interrupts* Liz is most likely in there, so we get to see her again. *sniffles*
*We go up to the door and knock. When the door opens, Elizabeth is standing there. The three of us hug and begin to cry, and Reid stands there, shuffling his feet awkwardly*
Me: L-Liz. We missed you.
Elizabeth: You never come around!
Jocelyn: We moved out of Acornville.
Elizabeth: Just the two of you?
Me: No, Megan and Mayisha are with us. We’re…
Elizabeth: Hold on, who’s he? *points to Reid*
Reid: I’m, um--
Me: JOCELYN’S BOYFRIEND.
Jocelyn: WOULD YOU STOP WITH THAT!?
Elizabeth: JOCELYN HAS A BOYFRIEND?!
Jocelyn: It’s not that hard to believe… is it?
Me: HA. SO YOU’RE ADMITTING IT.
Reid: Jeez, you guys change emotions fast. You’re like little mini sibyls.
Me: *pouts*
Jocelyn: Um… *digs for her badge, shining us both looks*
Reid: Oh, right.
*The three of us pull out of FBI badges, and Elizabeth gasps*
Elizabeth: FBI?
Me: Yeah. Just like Criminal Minds.
Elizabeth: Hold on a second… You’re Spencer Reid, aren’t you?
Reid: M-me?
Me: Of course you, dumbass.
Reid: HEY.
Elizabeth: He’s real?
Jocelyn: Everyone from the BAU is real. We’re part of it.
Elizabeth: You’re agents in the BAU?!
Me: Yeah. And, unfortunately, we need to ask you a few questions and look up some stuff in you guys’ house.
Elizabeth: Fine, fine. Come in.
*She opens the door wider. The three of us stumble in ungracefully, and she giggles. Finally, we’re all inside*
Me: Jocelyn, you know what to ask Liz. Reid and I can take her bedroom and see if we can find out which one of our friends called her, whom she thought was following her.
Elizabeth: About that…
Me: Yes, tell Joss about it.
*Jocelyn and Elizabeth have a discussion at the kitchen table, while Reid and I go through her stuff*
Reid: You’re a good leader.
Me: Oh! *blushes* I feel terrible now.
Reid: Why?
Me: I just, kind of, took charge like that. It was REALLY rude of me.
Reid: No, it wasn’t. You’re a good leader, is all I’m saying.
Me: Well… *sighs* I still feel awful.
Reid: Care to elaborate.
Me: Ella was one of my best friends. I hate going through her stuff like this.
Reid: It sucks, but if you want to bring her killer to justice, then this is a necessary precaution.
Me: My stomach is in knots. I kind of DON’T want to know who it is, you know? If it’s one of our friends, then I’m terrified that it will be someone close.
Reid: Like Mayisha?
Me: NO. NOT LIKE MAYISHA.
*My cell phone rings*
Me: Smith.
Prentiss: Liv? It’s Emily. We’ve got another body.
Me: S**t. © 2011 halflivesAuthor's Note
