Chapter 2 Where's Reid?

The team was in the office working on the paperwork from the case. J.J. looked at the clock on her computer and then her watch. She then looked over at the coffee pot.

"As anybody seen Reid yet?" She asked.

"No," Prentiss said.

"Doesn't seem odd that we all beat him coming into work today?" J.J. asked.

"He was pretty tired last night." Morgan said. "I'll give the kid a call. He probably missed the train or something." Morgan hit the speed dial and listened to it ring. He thought about all the ways he could tease Reid right now.

Morgan heard one ring then the customer service.

"He's got his phone off." Morgan said. "I'll head to his place and pick him up."

Morgan went up to Hotch's office before leaving. "Hotch, Reid hasn't come in yet. I just called his cell, it's off."

"Probably forgot to charge it or something. Go ahead and get him."

Morgan drove to Reid's apartment building and walked up the flights of steps to his apartment. He knocked on the door waiting for an answer. After a moment he tried again. In his mind he debated about kicking the door in.

"Come on Reid, its Morgan. Open up."

"Excuse me." Mrs. Jenkins said behind him

Morgan turned and saw a small old lady at the door across the hall. "Are you looking for Spencer?"

"Yes, ma'am I am. I work with him." Morgan said. "Did he come home last night?"

"Yes he did. There isn't an easy way to say this." She paused for a moment. "There was a police officer here waiting for him when he came home last night."

"A police officer?" Morgan asked.

"Yes, he was dressed in slacks and a jacket, like a suit. He had Spencer put his hands on his head, he handcuffed him and everything. He even said that thing 'Your rights.'"

"The Miranda rights." Morgan said.

"Yes that. So strange, he was always sweet to me. I don't understand."

"I don't either. But I am going to help him. I am sure it is all just one big misunderstanding." Morgan said reassuringly.

"Well thank you. I will hope for the best with him." She said closing the door.

Morgan pulled out his phone and dialed Hotch.

"Hotch you are not going to believe this, but Reid was arrested last night." Morgan said unable to hide his own disbelief.

Hotch couldn't speak for a second. Morgan had might as well as said that Erin Strauss was going to give a public apology to the BAU team. "Arrested, by who, for what?"

"I talked to the woman that lives across the way from him. Said there was a plain clothes officer here waiting for him. From the way she described it sounds like it was true."

"All get right on it. Stick around there for a moment just in case."

"Will do." Morgan said. Nothing about this seemed right. He just hoped the cop had the good sense to put Reid in solitary.

"J.J." Hotch said coming down the steps into the bullpen. "I need you to call your contact in the D.C. P.D. See if there were any arrests made for Reid or his building."

"Arrested?" Prentiss asked.

"His neighbor saw him being arrested after he came home last night." Hotch said.

"Why didn't he call any of us?" Prentiss asked.

"I don't know."Hotch said. "Rossi and I are going to go down there and see what is going on."

J.J. hung up the phone after a moment. "What do you have J.J?"

"I talked to Sarah Baker. She said that there wasn't any FBI agents arrested last night. She's looking into it though and she will call me back."

"Prentiss have Garcia look to see if there were any arrest warrants for Reid or his apartment."

"Yes sir." Prentiss said heading to Garcia's office.

Hotch grabbed Rossi and they headed out to the police station, trying to figure out what the hell was going on. When they arrived at the station they immediately went to see the desk Sergeant. He pulled up all the arrests from that night. There were no FBI Agents or Spencer Reids in the log.

"Agent Hotchner." Detective Baker stepped up to greet them. "Agent Jareau told me you were on your way down. I looked everywhere, but I don't have your agent." She said. "I will take you down to the holding area and let you look for yourselves."

Hotchner and Rossi walked with Baker to the main holding area. "This is where we hold all of our arrests until they can be processed." She said. "Go ahead and look and see if you can find your man."

"He might have been put into solitary." Rossi said.

"I'll take you over there. No one was put in there last night. I checked before you came in."

Rossi and Hotch looked through the isolation cells, no Reid. This was crazy. "Was there anywhere else he could have been taken?"

"I've asked." Baker said. "Trust me if an FBI agent is arrested it gets attention and where I have asked, someone would know something. I don't know what could have happened to your Agent."

"Thank-You." Hotchner said.

"I promise I will call Agent Jareau when I hear anything." Baker said. "You have my word and I will keep a look out."

Hotchner and Rossi returned to their SUV. "Reid would have identified himself as an FBI Agent immediately." Rossi said after they got in. "How could they not know that they were holding an FBI Agent?"

Hotchner did not have an answer, he was saved from giving one by the ringing of his cell phone. "Garcia what do you have for me?"

"Absolutely nothing." Garcia said, not the usual answer she gave. "There are no warrants on Reid. He doesn't even have a J walking ticket." Garcia said. "I can't find anything for his building much less his apartment. I've already called Morgan and told him."

"So why was he arrested?" Hotch asked.

"If I knew that darling I would tell you." Garcia said.

"Thanks." Hotchner hung-up the phone. "Alright someone arrested Reid last night. Even though there were no warrants and he wasn't involved with anything."

"Why didn't they book him? I mean if they wanted to keep the arrest quiet" Rossi asked. "What if this is someone with a personal grudge against the Bureau?"

"That would be easy to find." Hotchner said sarcastically.

"Reid's smart, he would find a way to contact us." Rossi said.

"I know." Hotchner said. "We might as well head back to the office."

CM*************************************************************************************************************

Morgan walked around the building looking to see what was there. He had just finished talking with Garcia. Nothing about this was adding up.

If he was a cop how would he walk someone he just arrested out of the building? Obviously through the front he said walking out the building. Someone would have seen it. For some strange reason he walked into the main office to see about the security set-up for the building.

The manager's office had been set up with a welcoming area out front. There was an area in the back that was probably for the official capacity.

"Can I help you?" A woman asked.

"Yes ma'am." Morgan said turning on the charm. "I was wondering about the security situation in this building."

"Why do you ask?"

Morgan reached in for his credentials.

"FBI." She said slightly impressed. "Okay. Right now we several cameras set up and recording. Two of them went out last night."

"Which ones?" Morgan asked.

"The one on the third floor and the one out the back." She answered. "We didn't notice because they kept recording. It was the old trick of covering the lens. Some kids in the building keep doing it. We actually started the policy of giving a fine to anyone caught."

"When did the two go out?"

"Late last night about one in the morning." She answered.

"I want to thank you for your help ma'am." Morgan said shaking her hand. Leave them with a smile.

Morgan walked back to Reid's door and then started to make his way out the back. The video cameras wouldn't have caught him. Morgan made it out into the street and looked around. He wondered where the cop would have parked his car. There was enough room in this alley. It wouldn't have been the smartest place to leave a marked car.

This wasn't right. Morgan went back inside and to the security office.

"Back again?" The woman said accepting of the charms of Derek Morgan.

"I need to see the footage of the front door starting at about one." Morgan said. That's when Reid would have come home.

Morgan went through the footage, there was very little traffic considering the time of night. He saw Reid coming in, but not leaving. Morgan thanked the woman again for her help and stepped outside.

He immediately called Hotch. "I know this might sound strange, but there is a chance Reid wasn't arrested last night, at least not legitimately." Morgan said. "I will explain when you get here."
