So this won't be an in detail case or anything, but I always thought this would be an interesting twist on the story. Not sure where it's going, but it won't be very long.
boring disclaimer here.
This case was going to be hard. It was in his home town. Spencer knew that he hadn't come clean about all of his past. He was grateful that his friends hadn't looked in his file too deeply. He was especially grateful for Hodge and Penelope for not disclosing certain parts of his past. He was on the plane, discussing ideas, that didn't really matter to him. He was most concerned as to the fact that he was going to see her.
"Last victim was a Grace Kalvin." Spencer's head jerked up.
"Wait, Grace Kalvin, my age, blond, lives on Bleaker Street, has a 5 year old daughter?" He closed his eyes. Please say no. Please say no.
"Yeah, how'd ya know" It was JJ.
"I can't be on this case. Sorry." Spence shot Hodge a look. He nodded back in understanding. He stood up and went to the other side of the plane. Why her? Why Grace?
He knew he was in for a long flight.
When they landed, all he wanted to do was go to that crime scene, her crime scene. He needed to know it was the right Grace Kalvin. The chances of it not being her were slim, but he had to make certain.
It was.
He took one look at her and had to leave the room. The team was still concerned about him, but he couldn't think about that. He couldn't think about the fact that they had all come to this scene first. Then they all heard the voices.
"I'm sorry, mam', but just because the little girl lives here doesn't mean I have to let you two in!"
"But that's her mother! You knew her and you know me!"
Spencer turned and went to the door. The rest followed him.
"You have to wait, until the FBI gets done."
"FBI! What part of the FBI?"
"The BA something or other."
Then she saw him, standing in her doorway. He sucked in his breath and nodded the approval to let her in. The officer stood aside, and the woman let go of the little girl, who ducked under the tape in her front lawn. She looked at the officer, turned and ran into Spencer's arms.
"I'm sorry, Katie." He knew just how heartbroken she was. She loved her mother more than Spencer did, and now Grace was gone.
"Where is she?" Her voice was so shaky.
"Gone." He led her into the house, sitting her down on the flowered sofa.
"Where am I going to go?"
"Hopefully, home with me." He brushed a loose strand of hair that had stuck to her cheek.
"Reid, come here." Spencer got up and went over to gang. "Spence, she's a cute kid, but you can't do that. She has to go into the system. We don't know even know who her father is." Morgan didn't know, none of the team did, and it was time that they did.
"I know who the father is." All but Hodge turned and looked at him. "Me. I'm her father." He went over to Katie, who reached up and wrapped her small arms around him. He took her in his arms and just stood there, unable to move.
What do you think?
