The Letter L

Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own Criminal Minds. (Though I do wish that I owned Reid.)

Summary: Bodies are turning up in the D.C. area with the letter L spray painted on them and covered in alcohol. On his way home, Reid is kidnapped and his car is left with the same markings. Can they team save there youngest member, or will this killer take another life? And why does this killer seem so familiar? What does this UnSub want with the B.A.U.?

Third Person POV

"That was really fun," JJ said as Spencer walked her to her car.

"It was to get away from the cases," Spencer commented. "Thank you for coming with me."

"No problem, Spence. See you tomorrow at work."

"See you tomorrow," Spencer echoed.

After a particularly bad case involving children, it was nice for the two to get away as friends and watch a movie, Spencer thought. He waited for JJ to pull out before he followed her. The two took different directions at the next intersection. It was just getting dark out when Spencer pulled off to the side of the road. His tire was flat. The night air bit at his face. Sighing, he contemplated what he could do. This sucked. He pulled his phone out to call Morgan when a pair of strong hand grabbed him. He tried to scream, but a rag was placed over his mouth. Within minutes Spencer's world turned black.

Spencer woke up to a massive headache and a looming figure standing over him.

"I bring a message from L," the man said in a deep voice. He smelled of cheap cologne and cigarette smoke. "'Do not stick your nose into matters it does not belong, Spencer.'"

"How-How do you know my name?" Spencer asked, his voice hoarse.

"L will be visiting you shortly," was the ominous reply he received.

"Spencer?" Morgan asked into the phone. "You there, man?"

He received no reply. He heard shuffling and then the phone went dead. He chalked it up to a butt dial. He turned his phone up in case Spencer called again and went back to sleep.

"I know this is not what you guys want to hear," Hotch addressed the group of profilers. "But last night Reid's car was found abandoned on the side of the road without him in it. The letter L was spray painted on the windshield, along with alcohol thrown on the car. This sign had been seen in a number of murders in the area. This case was presented to the BAU this morning and is now open."

The first emotion that hit Morgan was anger. How dare somebody take his friend. The guy was going to pay. Then it moved to guilt. Spencer had tried to call him last night!

"I just saw Spencer yesterday night at the movies," JJ cried. "He was perfectly fine." Emily rubbed her back comfortingly.

"There are four victims over the past few months we can attribute to this UnSub. Method is a single gunshot to the head. The victims cross gender lines and state lines, but not race," Garcia said, near tears.

"There's no DNA left behind, that coupled with the crossing of state lines, our UnSub could have been incarcerated or have law enforcement training," Emily pointed out.

"Check on that theory, Garcia. There's no time to waste. Emily, Morgan, I want you guys to see want you can find out about the victims at the Coroners Office. Rossi and I will talk to the local police. JJ, I want you to handle the media. This UnSub has killed four people and kidnapped a federal agent. The media will be all over this case."
