A/N: Oh man, I am absolutely insane posting another story. Like totally, but this idea would not leave me alone. It's a glee/ criminal minds crossover. I got the idea based on Ryder's arc in Lights Out. It takes place somewhere around season 4/5 of glee and well into Emily Prentiss' tenure on Criminal Minds but knowledge of specific storylines should not be necessary. I own neither.

Chapter One

They had wanted a date night for a while. Geoffrey knew this, so he was really trying to behave for the babysitter tonight, but he had ants in his pants and really did not want to get in the tub.

"Come on Geoffrey, won't you?" Miss J kneeled in front of him in the bathroom, began tickling him, in the dangerous places. "For me?"

"Please stop." His voice was little more than a tremble growing in volume with every second. "Please Miss J… Stop it! Stop it!" He screamed as he saw the man with the knife.

Spencer Reid smiled as he watched his friend and colleague Penelope Garcia playing tag with Henry, their godson, and the only child of Jennifer Jareau, another colleague and mutual friend to them both.

"Uncle Spence, did you see that?" The boy laughed and pointed as the cooky blond struggled to her feet. "Aunt Penelope fell!"

Spencer nodded grinning as he saw Penelope rising to her feet and running towards them. "Yeah, I saw." He pushed the boy forward. "Go, go, go!"

"Ooh, you have unleashed the tickle monster Henry!" Garcia growled.

As he watched Henry and Garcia wrestling, Spencer heard a ping from his phone. He looked down frowning. "Garcia! We have a case."

Will Schuester frowned looking at his wife and then at the boy in the nearby chair. "Has there been any improvement?"

The redhead sighed. "We've met every day Will. He still hasn't said anything. All he does is play the guitar. Whatever happened to Ryder, he isn't ready to open up. We can't push it."

Will sat in the chair looking at his student. "Ryder, your parents are waiting in Sue's office. Are you ready?"

Ryder bit his lip and nodded pushing his guitar strap over his shoulder, so the instrument hung off his left hip. He followed his teacher, not laughing, not joking or jostling, not even his breathing caused a disturbance. He just wanted to go home.

"Hey baby how was your day?" Rebecca Lynn wrapped her son in a hug and kissed his forehead, which Ryder hurriedly wiped away with a scowl.

He pulled his guitar and plucked a few strings. Neither Sue nor Will could figure out what he was trying to communicate, but the parents smiled.

"That's good to hear Ry'." Brandon Lynn roughed his son's hair, before putting an arm around his boy's shoulder. "We'll be waiting in the car."

"Okay team," Garcia stood in front of the team fidgeting with the remote. "It's an icky one. Ten year old Geoffrey Scott was found in the bathroom of his house in Lima, Ohio by his parents with multiple stab wounds, and his tongue was cut out." She shuddered. "It was the second body found within two weeks. The first was eleven year old Hector Velez."

Aaron Hotchner leaned forward. "Same MO?"

"Affirmative el capitan." Garcia clicked through the pictures. Two boys lay on the floor of their bathrooms, blood gushing onto the linoleum floors.

"Wheels up in thirty." Hotch stood. Time was running out. It wouldn't be long before there was another victim.

A/N: So the team is heading to Lima. Ryder's troubled to the point where he isn't even speaking. This story will be pretty Spencer centric but the rest of the team will be featured heavily as well. What do you think will happen next? Why do you think Ryder isn't talking? Theories? Leave em in a review. Rebecca Lynn is portrayed by Jennifer Morrison and Brandon Lynn is portrayed by Josh Dallas. Would you like to see edits of the victims? I wasn't sure if I should make them.
