It was early in the morning. Spencer groaned as the sun shone from outside and blinded him. It was 6:24AM, his alarm wouldn't go off for another 6 minutes. He debated about staying in bed or getting ready for work earlier. He decided to get up when he remembered the work he still had to do for today.

-Time skip-

Spencer was sat in the bullpen when his team mates started entering one by one. First it was Hotch who always greeted him good morning and walked quickly up to his office, then it was JJ who always sat next to him in the office, ready for what the day would bring them. Behind her were Emily and David. David was like a father to him, ever since Gideon left he put it on himself to be a somewhat father figure to Reid, even though he was now an adult. And Emily tried to do the same, but more as a friend since she hated being told she was old. And last but not least Morgan and Garcia. Garcia was holding a box of doughnuts as she walked next to Morgan rambling about something like always.

"Late night pretty boy?" Morgan asked with a smirk. Morgan was like an older brother to him, he always had his back no matter what, even if it was a bit annoying at times.

"Kinda"

"My man"

"Not that kind of late night"

Just about as Spencer was going to go back to his work Hotch came out of his office. "Morgan gather everyone, we got a case".

The look on Hotch's face was always stern when he talked, like he didn't have any emotion. But this time it was different. Before he walked back into his office he looked at Reid, but Reid didn't notice. It was a look of...worry? Morgan knew this wasn't going to be good.

-another time skip-

As the team gathered around the table everyone was a bit on edge. Everyone knew, everyone except Reid. They all sat down at looked up at Garcia while she talked about the case. But this time she talked about it with a sad tone.

"A week ago 2 female bodies were found strangled and beaten outside a Las Vegas park. They were both in their late 50's and have been put in a psychiatric hospital for mental illnesses. And last night..."

Garcia took a deep breath like she was going to cry before continuing.

"Last night another body was found strangled and beaten outside a Las Vegas park"

Then Garcia pulled up the picture. She didn't need to say who it was, as they all already knew.

It was Reid's mum.

A/N: Well we're off to a good start aren't we? Also I put Reid's mum in her late 50's because I don't know her age.
