This week started like any other week for Spencer Reid. He woke Monday morning to the ring of his cell phone, signaling that he'd received a new text. He suspected that it was from his team, telling him they had a new case. He picked up his phone, just to be sure, and with his suspicions confirmed he got up and took a quick shower, followed by him getting dress, grabbing his satchel and go bag. Spenser headed out of his apartment and towards his car, toward the BAU, towards a new case and someone else's tragedy. Spenser got in his car and closed his eyes once he was behind the wheel and saw her. Maeve. He saw in exact detail the first time he ever saw her. And as he'd already known, to him she was the most beautiful thing in the world. And he would've died for her, he'd offered himself to the unsub in exchange for Maeve. The case was closed when the unsub killed herself and Mauve in a single bullet.

As if it had been waiting for Spenser's thought to change to the end of that story, the image of Maeve was replaced with her laying in the pool of her and her killer's blood. Spenser open his eye and started driving. He made it to work fairly quickly but he still need a distraction. Spenser turned his radio on and classical music filled the car. Frustrated when this failed to distract him, Spenser changed the channel to find Tiptoe by Imagine Dragons playing. Satisfied by this distraction, he turned the radio up as he drove to work. He reached the parking lot just as the song finished and he pulled into his parking spot. Spenser turned his radio off before his car and grabbed his satchel as he exited his car. As Spenser walked towards the building he felt as if someone was watching him, but when he looked around there was no one there. Spenser kept moving, just a little faster, after that. He walked into the building and slipped into an elevator with two of his team mates, Derek Morgan and Alex Blake.

The ride up seemed to take long than usual, but maybe that was because Spenser was hyper aware that Blake and Morgan were exchanging looks behind his back. Spenser sensed a pity speech in his future, but he didn't want that. He wanted to be left alone to feel like crap in peace. Finally the doors to the elevator opened and Spenser walked to the briefing room before they could stop him to 'talk'. He sat down and waited for Blake and Morgan to sit down so the briefing could start. Morgan sat next to Spenser,where Blake usual sat, and Blake in Morgans spot.

Garcia handed out the files and said, "Hope you guys like Seattle. They've got a woman snatcher on the loose."

"A what?" Rossi asked, confused.

"Someone's been grabbing women off the streets." Garcia answered.

"So why are we being called in?" Spenser asked.

"I was really hoping you wouldn't ask that." Garcia pressed a button on a remote and two pictures of two different girls. next to that their dead bodies where they were found. there was something oddly familiar about the girls, that Spenser couldn't explain. It was right the but he couldn't figure it out. "These victim's are Jane Doe's and probably junkies. No one can identify them and they have no criminal history," Garcia continued. "And the police know of at least 2 other's that are missing. Their names are Nicole Brown and Brianna Wilson."

"How were the victim's killed?" Morgan asked.

"They both had defensive wounds and, as far as the people at the morgue can tell, their cause of death was falling down stairs and cracking their heads open." Garcia click her button again and said wounds appeared. "There are also marks on their wrists, like they'd been tied rope."

"Right," Hotch said. "Wheels up in thirty."

Reid got up and went to his desk. He opened the drawer and looked for the book Maeve had given him. When he didn't find it he checked his satchel and still didn't find it. Spenser began to panic and closed his eye's. Did he see it this morning before he came to work. He scanned through the book titles he remembered seeing that morning on the shelf and it wasn't there. He thought back father, had he slept with it by accident or place it on his nightstand? No. He put his head in his hands and thought hard. If he didn't have it who would?

"Reid?" Morgan's concerned voice came from somewhere next to him. "Are you alright?"

Spenser looked up at Morgan. "Yeah. I just can't figure out what I did with a very good book I was in the middle of reading."

"Is this your book?" Morgan held up a book Spenser remembered packing in his satchel but it wasn't the book he was looking for. It wasn't the book Maeve had given him.

"Yeah, but that not the one I was looking for." Spenser replied as he took the book Morgan was holding up back and placed it in his satchel. Maybe it's in my car."

Spenser got up and walked out, towards the elevator. The whole ride down he tried hard to keep calm. It's in the car, Spenser repeatedly told himself. But when he got to his car the passenger door was open and his go bag looked as if it had been searched. There was a note on the top of the contents. It read: I have it.

Reid closed the bad and went back toward the building, planning on asking Morgan to give him a lift to the jet, wondering who had stolen the book, the feeling that someone was watching him returned..
