Chapter thirteen
Missing

Ivy and Caitlin spent the rest of the night searching every bar and restaurant in the city in case Olivia and the boy she was on a date with decided to have a couple of drinks at a different bar. The hours were flying by and Ivy was beyond worried, she had this horrible feeling that something terrible had happened.

"Ivy I think it's time we call the police... she's not answering any of our calls or texts and we've basically searched this whole city" Caitlin spoke as she paced back and fourth.

"Look the police aren't going to do anything until she's missing for over 24 hours because she's over the age of 18... I know you're worried and so am I but the police aren't going to help us until tomorrow so I'll ring my dad and tell him she's missing but we should head back to my apartment in case she's there and just wait this out until the morning" Ivy mumbled as she pulled in an Uber from the side of the road.

"Okay I guess she could have just went back to his for the night" Caitlin said as she gave Ivy an unconvincing look.

"I think we both know that's not something that Olivia would do but there is a possibility that she's just enjoying her time with him" Ivy spoke as she tried to make Caitlin feel better about the situation.

They both arrived back at Ivy's apartment and by the looks of it Olivia wasn't there. Caitlin fell asleep pretty quickly after they had something to eat she was drained after tonight but Ivy was the complete opposite she knew something was wrong so she decided the best thing for her to do was to ring her dad.

"Dad listen to me okay me and girls went out tonight remember I told you that Olivia had a date tonight... so we dropped her off at the restaurant and we told her to ring us after she was finished and we'd meet her at the bar but she never rang me and something didn't feel right about the situation so I called her and she never picked up, I texted her multiple times and she never answered so we searched all over town for her in different bars and restaurants and there's been no sign of her since we dropped her off. I'm worried about her she hasn't been back to my apartment and she still hasn't answered any of my calls and texts, this isn't something Olivia would do she wouldn't worry us like this" Ivy panicked as she finished explaining everything to her dad.

"Ivy slow down could she not have just spent the night at this boy's house" he asked as Ivy huffed.

"Dad have you not listened to a word I've said... she wouldn't do something like this and not tell me about it, she wouldn't worry us like this. You have always told me to follow my gut feeling well now my gut feeling is telling me something is wrong" Ivy quietly shouted because she didn't want to wake Caitlin up.

"Okay... okay I'll tell Emily everything you've just told me and keep me informed if she turns up. Ivy get some rest and I'll talk to you in the morning I'm sure everything will be fine but just be careful" Hotchner spoke as he hung up the phone.

That conversation felt odd to Ivy her dad never brushed something like this under the carpet before so why is he starting now. Ivy pulled out her phone and began to ring Hayley, on the first ring the phone went to voicemail. Ivy decided to ring Spencer.

"Spence what is going on because I've just been on the phone to my dad and he didn't sound like himself and then I rang Hayley and her phone went straight to voicemail" Ivy asked as she closed her bedroom door and sat down on her bed.

"Ivy something's happened here and I think it's best if you ask you're dad about it" Spencer answered quietly.

"What are you talking about Spencer... if my dad wanted to tell me he would have so can you please just tell me what's going on because I haven't had the best night and I'm really not in the mood for my dad to beat around the bush so can you please tell me what's going on" she pleaded as he took a deep breath.

"We had a case to work on today and you're dad hadn't answered his phone so we all just thought he'd slept in... anyway we all went to the crime scene and hours went by without a word from Hotch so Emily decided to go and check up on him but when she arrived at you're house Hayley told her that Hotch doesn't live there anymore and that he's staying in an apartment across town because there marriage wasn't working out for quite some time now" Spencer spoke as Ivy listened intently.

"Emily left and made her way over to his apartment, when she arrived his front door was agar and when she made her way inside he wasn't there but there was blood everywhere... long story short Penelope found out that Hotch was admitted to hospital. Hotch is doing okay now but he was stabbed multiple times he's just lucky none of them were vital" Spencer finished as Ivy took a minute to think.

"He was stabbed multiple times and didn't feel the need to tell me this when I was on the phone with him and since when is Hayley and my dad having problems in there marriage I just don't understand... who stabbed him" she asked as Spencer began to speak.

"Do you remember the reaper case... well it was him you know how much he hates Hotch but nobody thought it would come to this but Ivy that's not everything there's something else em... after you're dad woke up in the hospital he realized the reaper ripped a page out of his notebook and on that page was Hayley and Jacks address so he knew that the reapers next target was going to be them and he couldn't let that happen so Hayley and Jack are now in witness protection" Spencer mumbled as Ivy began to cry.

"That's why her phone is turned off... what the fuck is going on how did all of this happen in the space of a day... when can they come out of witness protection" she asked.

"I'm really sorry Ivy but they can't return home until he's caught and right now he's probably the hardest unsub we've had to catch" Spencer answered honestly.

"Fuck" Ivy shouted as paced back and forth.

"I can't begin to imagine how you're feeling right now... " Spencer was cut off before he could finish his sentence.

"Spencer just please stop talking I'm not trying to be rude but i just need you to stop talking for a minute... holy shit so my dad was shot, my dad and Hayley are getting divorced, Jack and Hayley have been taking into witness protection and I won't get to see them or talk to them until this son of a bitch is caught... Jack must be so scarred and Hayley must be so worried. Fuck me this day couldn't possibly get any worse" she huffed as she sat back down on her bed.

"What happened tonight... last time we spoke you said you were going out with the girls" he asked as she sighed.

"Olivia's missing and before you ask no I haven't told the police about it because they can't do anything until she's gone for over 24 hours but as I said to my dad there's something wrong i can feel it" she answered.

"Wait what do you mean she's missing what happened" Spencer asked.

"Me and Caitlin dropped her off at this restaurant because she was going on a date with this guy she met online and she was meant to ring me when she was finished but she never did so we walked all the way back to the restaurant we left her at and there was no sign of her, I rang her phone over 50 times and texted her nonstop and she hasn't answered any of them. I rang my dad to tell him and he basically said it was nothing to worry about because she probably just spent the night with this boy but now I understand why he didn't pay much attention because his fucking life is after falling apart but Olivia wouldn't worry us like this Spencer she'd have at least phoned me and told me she wouldn't be home" Ivy spoke as Spencer listened.

"I agree with you... Olivia wouldn't do something like this and not tell you so if she's not called you back or messaged you by in the morning go to the police and file a missing persons case but for the time being Ivy you've had a hell of a night try and get some rest... I'm always a phone call away and I'm really sorry I was the one who had to tell you all of that tonight" he spoke as Ivy smiled to herself.

"Out of everyone Spence I'm glad you're the one who told me" she replied before she hung up the phone.

The last thing Ivy remembered before she feel asleep was Austin telling her to expect the unexpected.
