"Why call us if they have a suspect?"

David Rossi was expecting to have the team bounce ideas off each other instead they looked sullen. Rossi looked at Aaron Hotchner but he was just as confused. Hotch had no clue why his team looked so depressed. Emily spoke up giving the older men a better understanding of the situation. "Riley is only a suspect, once we get there we'll set things straight."

"You know the suspect."

"Yeah..." Morgan's not so subtle glancing brought attention to Reid. Rossi leaned back giving a faint smile. Hotch's face seems to soften just a touch. JJ sat beside Reid trying to get a gauge for his emotional state.

"Spence? You okay?"

Reid stood up suddenly walking over to the older agents spreading out the pictures. Morgan looked at JJ who shrugs. Morgan goes for broke, "Reid talk me to me"

"...the force needed...but weight of...she didn't do it. She couldn't do it."

"Reid walk us through it"

"I noticed she favored her right side when she walked up to the bar. She seems predominantly weaker on the left side of her body. To do any of the damage inflicted on the body it would require strength... She'd need to be strong on both sides of the body."

"How can you be so sure?"

Reid pauses, "...she...um gripped my arm."

"Your arm huh?" Morgan smiles.

JJ stands up, "Show Reid. Come on I'll be Riley."

Reid walks over to her and explains softly had she did. Riley had gripped his right forearm to stop herself from falling. Then before she left she gripped his left bicep. The strengths were very different for the same amount of pressure. When they got off the plane Reid and Morgan went to the first crime scene. Emily and Rossi to the most recent. Hotch and JJ to the police station. Morgan didn't let Reid live down Riley touching him. After all she was flirting with his partner. He had to have Reid's back no matter what. Rossi got details about Riley through the little bit Emily knew. Hotch asked JJ interrogate Riley given she was someone Riley trusted.

"Hey Riley...how are you?"

Silence.

"Remember me? I'm Penelope's coworker, I'm here to help you."

Finally Riley looked up, "They called you here...you're on the wrong side Jennifer."

JJ sat stunned. Garcia didn't tell Riley her name when they met. Riley's eyes caught JJ's attention. That look... After all these cases, she knew that look. JJ stood so suddenly the chair fell back. Fury boiling in her. "Riley, did this happen before they arrested you or after?"

Riley squirmed hanging her head. JJ waited for the agonizing few seconds, "Before...right before."

JJ left the room slamming the door. She lingered in front of the door. Sure these murders are gory but to beat Riley... JJ felt sick when she realized that they didn't know if they did more than just beat her. Hotch loomed before JJ, "What was that?"

"They beat her. They beat her then put the cuffs on her. Hotch—"

"Is there a problem here?"

"Not at all Sheriff Young." Hotch walks off taking the Sheriff with him.

"This much damage... Riley couldn't have done this. Tiny thing like her...naw, this screams male." Morgan looks at Reid waiting for confirmation. Reid wasn't on the first floor of the house anymore. Morgan went up after him watching him carefully. None of the BAU members had seen Reid with a woman so seeing act like this with Riley, for Riley, made them feel like he was growing up.

"Does the crime scene fit? Does the evidence point to Riley?" Morgan tried to be careful with his questions but he needed Reid to voice his thoughts.

"...yes"

"What?"

"The only profile the evidence point... Riley fits it."

"Are you okay with this?"

Reid turns away from Morgan, "It doesn't matter we have to call Hotch."

"Pretty Boy you don't have to be strong... I don't want facts. I want to know how you feel."

Emily walks through the police station looking for JJ hoping to get a chance to talk to Riley. Rossi and Emily found JJ pacing in front of interrogation room 1. JJ filled them in on what happened to Riley. Rossi sighs, "We need to look at this from a new angle. Let me talk to her."

"No. Rossi she's been through enough. Hotch already tried... He...he made her cry."

Emily looks at Rossi who nods. "Let me talk to her JJ."
