Spencer Reid and Lila Go to Yellowstone

Chapter 1 Murder in Yellowstone

It had been 5 years since Lila and Spencer met but they still kept in touch. After they got out of the swimming pool, they continued where they left off. Everyone else had gone to sleep. Lila led him to a room where no one could see or hear them. No one knew as Reid would have been in a lot of trouble for getting involved with someone who the FBI was protecting.

Every year they would get together on some vacation. Both of them liked going to different National Parks. They would rent a motor home and spend several days there. Reid was the tour guide as he read books on Yellowstone. No one recognized Lila and she would be in some disguise (either she cut her hair, changed the hair or eye color). This year they decided to go to Yellowstone.

The view of Yellowstone was beautiful as the sun came up. You couldn't get this view at a motel or hotel. Reid was already up fixing breakfast.

"Did you hear that poor dog howling last night?" asked Lila.

"Yes, I did. Went outside looked around. Couldn't find the dog." said Reid.

"I have a bad feeling about that dog." said Lila.

"I do as well. Something happened."

It had been six months since JJ left. JJ and Will decided to move back to Louisiana where Will returned to his job as a police officer and JJ worked out of the New Orleans Field Office. They had taken a trip to Las Vegas where they had finally tied the knot. Their son was almost 3 years old. No one from the BAU had attended the wedding. Unknown to Reid and Lila they had rented a motor home and had decided to go to Yellowstone. It wouldn't be long before their paths met.

It was Will who noticed a howling dog standing in the middle of the road next to boiling pot. It was starting to get dark outside. A truck was parked across the street. Will walked over to the boiling pot and saw human bones floating on the top. The look on his face told the story.

"Mommy , look at this picture." said three year old Harry who gave the Driver's License Picture to his mother.

Jennifer Malls, White Female, Date of Birth 09/8/1981.

"Oh my God. We've found Jennifer, Will."

JJ knew Jennifer Malls from high school. For the last two weeks, one of the most massive manhunts in Virginia history had taken place trying to find this woman. JJ got on the phone and called Hotch.

Reid's cell phone rang but he didn't answer the phone. He and Lila were pre-occupied with other things and Reid decided he would call Hotch later. Not too long after Hotch tried to get in touch with him, there was a knock on the motor home door. Reid looked out the window and was surprised to see JJ.

A short time after that, Lila came outside to see what was going on. Within 24 hours the entire team was in Yellowstone investigating the murder of Jennifer Malls, who was a clerk for a judge who was on the Supreme Court in Virginia.
