Yay! First Criminal Minds fanfiction xD I have recently become obsessed with it and just had to write a fic about it. Plus, new favorite couple, MorganXReid :D I just hope I can write this without it being too OOC!
*If you don't like slash, then don't read it.
"Hey, Reid, wake up. We're almost there." A stern voice mumbled as the young agent slowly opened his eyes.
Reid was confused at first, not remembering where he was. Familiar faces soon brought him back to what he was doing. Dr. Reid was on a jet, headed to Detroit, Michigan where a few murders had been going on. Reid tried to remember the details of it, but nothing came to him.
"Hey, Kid, you okay? You look confused." Agent Derek Morgan questioned, looking at Reid with concern.
"Oh, yeah, I'm fine. Just thinking." Reid faked a smile.
"You're always thinking." Emily Prentiss sighed.
"Hey, guys, we need to brief over this one more time." Hotch said, handing out files to everyone.
"Baby Doll, can you her us?" Morgan asked.
"Sure can lovies. I can see you all too, not that I'm being creepy or anything." Garcia chuckled, her smile wide enough that everyone could see it through the webcam.
"Okay, so there have been a few murders in the last two weeks in Detroit. All have the exact MO, two bodies laid together. Some people call the position they lay in as 'spooning'. It's always two people together, not just one alone. The murder seems to be relaying some sort of message through these positions. Besides that, there have been six people killed all together."
"Are the bodies that are laid together connected to one another?" Reid asked as he looked at the pictures in the file.
"We've been over this, but yes. The couple laying together are siblings and one was an actual couple. Age doesn't seem to matter to this killer." Hotch mumbled, rubbing his head.
"Garcia, can you tell us anything about the murdered couple and siblings?"
"Of course! It's me, I always have the information you silly people need-" The analysist was cut off by a stern cough from Hotch. Garcia rolled her eyes and sighed.
"Fine, no time for fun. The first victims were sisters, one age fifteen and the other, only five years old. They were found in an old alley way by some homeless man. The girls were apparently missing for a few days. The next, a pair of brothers, one being twenty and the other, seventeen. Same scenario, they had been missing." Garcia stopped for a second and sighed again.
"But the last murdered victims, theirs was a little different. They weren't missing, they were actually found in their own house. One of the neighbors had found the bodies while bringing over baked goods. But, there was something else." The hacker stopped talking.
"And that was?" Prentiss asked.
"There was a note. It was specifically asking for the FBI to solve this case." Hotch answered before Garcia could even say anything.
"Odd. Why would the killer even want the FBI on this case? Are they asking to be found?" Morgan clenched his fist.
Reid looked a little worried as Morgan glared down, reading the files. The genius knew the Morgan had a soft spot for kids, so to be on a case where the first victim was a child must have been hard on him. Reid wanted to tell Derek Morgan that the team would catch the killer, but the statistics showed no signs of the team actually winning. They didn't have any major leads on the killer yet.
Once the jet landed, Hotch had JJ and Prentiss ask around and see if anyone knew anything. Hotch and Rossi went to each crime scene, while Reid and Morgan were sent to find out about the autopsy.
"I'm driving." The older agent said as he got in the car.
"Sure." Reid replied, opening the passenger side door.
It was a silent ride on the way to the morgue, neither agent spoke a word. Morgan was too angry with the murdered victims and Reid has a small head ache. Reid rubbed his head with his hands, pretending like the pain would go away. The car came to a slow stop and Morgan looked over at his friend, who was still rubbing his head.
"You okay?" Reid looked up at his co-worker and nodded yes.
Morgan didn't believe him. The older agent hated when Reid did this, lying to him. Reid had a habit of doing that to everyone, actually. But it seemed to affect Morgan more, making him feel as though he can't help his friend.
"C'mon, we've got work to do." Reid said, grabbing his messenger bag.
As the men walked in, they were greeted by a woman. She held out her hand to greet Morgan and Reid.
"Hi, I'm Dr. Alicia Bene. I'm assuming you two are from the FBI, correct?" The woman grinned.
"Yes, we're here to find out what killed the recent victims." Reid said, walking towards the door to the bodies.
"Of course. Well, let me warn you, it isn't pretty." Dr. Alicia looked down as she followed Reid.
Dr. Alicia took the agent s over to the table where there were two bodies, side by side. Beside that, there was two more tables, with the same amount of bodies. Reid cringed at the sight of a small body covered.
"The first two bodies, both girls, were related. That I'm sure you already knew. Lexi and Ruby Kestler, Lexi being the oldest." The doctor said as she pulled back the cover, revealing the heads of two girls.
Reid could feel Morgan's anger, looking at the bodies. The younger agent looked at his partner and gave him a comforting look.
"Cause of death?" Reid questioned.
"See, now that's the not-so-pretty part. Let me show you the other victims first." Dr. Alicia stated, pulling back the covers, revealing the other bodies.
"Brandon and Kelly Heften, brothers. Matthew and Marcia Bull, married couple. What do all these victims have in common?"
The agents stayed silent.
"The only thing that they have in common is the way that they died. Death was caused by an extreme overdose of the same drug, Dilaudid."
Just as the words came out of the doctor's mouth, Reid felt cold shivers go through him. All the memories of being injected by Tobias Hankel slowly flooded into his mind. It brought back memories of him using it, even after the incident. Reid's mind was filled with all these things, things that had caused him pain.
Morgan noticed the Reid wasn't looking at the bodies anymore, but rather at the floor. His eyes seemed to be filled with fear. The agent knew what he was thinking and they needed to finish this case fast.
"How much did they take?" Morgan asked, still worried about Reid's behavior.
"To be exact, more than 8mg at a time. It seems it was injected in them; look at each of their arms. Each arm has little marks to show where an injection had been." Dr. Alicia pointed to the arms of the bodies.
"Thank you for this information. We'll probably keep in touch with you to find out some other things." Morgan said, grabbing Reid's arm as he left the room.
Once in the car, Reid just sat there, not doing anything. Morgan looked at him with dismay.
"Kid, are you alright?"
Reid just mumbled something to himself, not even noticing his co-worker's question.
"Spencer, are you alright?" Morgan asked, grabbing the other agent's shoulder. Reid looked up at Morgan with fear all over his face.
"Yes, I'll be fine…." Reid whispered.
"Like I'll believe that. Are you going to be okay doing this case?"
"…Yeah. I have to be, I need to work. It gets my mind off things."
Morgan shook his head. He was worried about his friend and felt there was nothing he could do about it. The older agent just sat there, looking at Reid as the boy's face grew pale. He noticed that Reid slowly looked away from him, trying to mask the fear. It hurt Morgan, seeing Reid like this. It was like that time with Tobias Hankel; Morgan felt like he was useless and couldn't help his friend. Just as Morgan was about to say something, his cell phone began to ring.
"Morgan." The agent answered in a monotone voice.
"We've got two more bodies; you both need to come down to the station."
GASP! What's going to happen next?
