At that moment she had a sudden realization she almost never thought for herself. She had divulged herself in the minds of others. And for once she began to think, about herself, her life and all that she had done and that's what got her into trouble...
… 2 Years Later…
"New case?" Reid asked Morgan stumbling into the office trying his best not to spill his coffee.
"Yeah, where were you kid?" asked Morgan, smiling at the clumsy Dr. Reid.
"Slept in" he muttered, Morgan shrugged, J.J then popped her head out of the conference room and waved Morgan and Reid in, the rest of the team was already seated around the table.
"First we have Becky and Vanessa Ford, twins, 16 years old, their throats were slit execution style in their home" explained J.J showing a picture of two cute brunettes.
"And then we have Brody Glade, 46, his throat was also slit in his home, the first two murders were a month ago and the next one happened two days ago" said J.J
"This was done out off anger, look at the crookedness of the cut, and he left a heck of a mess" said Morgan.
"Yeah, but there were no prints left at the scene" commented Prentiss.
"An organized killer, who appears to be disorganized," said Rossi nodding.
"Wheels up in an hour, we're going to Boston" said Hotch getting up.
…On the Jet…
The plane ride was fairly average, except for the fact that Reid was having very painful headaches.
"You alright?" asked Morgan.
"Yeah, just a headache" he waved Morgan off and went back to analyzing the photos.
"Reid if you need a day or two off after the case…" said Hotch
"No, I'm fine, I just need an Advil or something" Reid said annoyed, Prentiss raised her eyebrows and Hotch looked at him suspiciously but nothing else was said.
…At the Boston station…
Hotch was beginning to speak to the detective when Morgan's phone rang it was Garcia.
"Yeah baby girl" answered Morgan.
"Well, there was absolutely no connection between the victims" she said, Morgan sighed frustrated "Hold on handsome, except for that the all had a relative living in a mental hospital"
"Really?" asked Morgan in surprise.
"Yup, and even more interesting the relatives in question are living at the same mental hospital, Garden state hospital" smiled Garcia in triumph.
"You're a genius" he said.
"Was there ever any doubt?" laughed Garcia and hung up.
"Hotch, all the victims had relatives living at a mental hospital, I'm going to go check it out" he told Hotch
"Alright, take Reid with you" he told him, Morgan nodded.
"Come on Reid let's go" he told Reid, he jumped up and followed Morgan out the door.
...At Green State Mental Hospital...
Morgan and Reid walked up to the front desk, Reid looked uncomfortable, for this looked very similar to the one his mother was in.
"You okay Reid?" asked Morgan.
"Oh, yeah fine" said Reid, Morgan asked the receptionist to talk to the person in charge.
Reid waited at the desk while Morgan took a look into the main area, where are all the patients were.
"Oh my god" he said, staring at something.
"What?" asked Reid walking over then following Morgan's gaze, Reid's eyes widened. Reid began to walk towards the object of his stare.
"Reid" protested Morgan, but Reid ignored him.
"Spencer" he said softly, a blonde girl, about 15 looked up at him with her big green eyes.
"I'm sorry, do I know you?" she asked.
