Spencer frowned at his sister's comment about his boss. True Hotch did come off as the stern no nonsense type, but power hungry manic? No way. He shook his head then remembered something else that had bothered him, but like his sister, he could hide his emotions as well.
"Why don't you want me to call you Serenity?" Spencer asked when they arrived at the airport "that is your name. Serena is your nickname, just like when you call me Spence."
Serena didn't answer right away as she took for luggage from the shuttle driver and started to head towards the doors.
Quickly Spencer paid the driver, grabbed his own luggage and followed after his sister.
"I asked you a question" he told her as he caught up to her, where she was waiting in line to check in.
"I just don't like being called Serenity, that's all" his sister told him quietly
Spencer frowned. Lately something had been wrong with his sister, but he couldn't get it out of her.
"Are you okay Serena? You seem so depressed these days?"
Serena shrugged her shoulders "I'm fine"
Spencer frowned "You don't act fine. Maybe you should see a doctor"
"I am seeing a doctor. I just forgot to mention it"
This made Spencer feel better. He felt so bad for always leaving his sister home alone all the time, what with his hours at the BAU and all the trips he was leaving for all the time, for the different cases his team had been assigned. He always worried something bad was going to happen to his sister when he was gone. JJ had an idea what it was like for Spencer, but her husband cared for their little boy while she was gone. Spencer had been helping care for his sister since she was born, since their father didn't want anything to do with the child. Saying that he hoped that she wasn't anything like his first born.
Serena's voice broke him out of his thoughts "I'm looking right at him" she gave him a smile
Spencer couldn't help, but give a laugh "very funny"
"Well you asked for it, Dr. Reid"
They waited in line for a few more moments then checked in. As they headed towards the security check point, Spencer eyed his sister's clothes.
"I hope you brought some normal things to wear when we go see mom and when we go to the reunion."
Serena glared at her brother "what's wrong with my clothes? "
"Well" Spencer paused unsure of how to tell his sister how others might view her choice of clothing
"I'm an Otaku and I'm proud of it" Serena stated.
"What anime did you get that from?" Spencer asked his sister
"Inu-yasha! I like the school girl uniform"
"I think the skirt's a little short"
Serena ignored his comment about the skirt "If people don't like the way I am dressed then they can look the other way"
After they went to security, they chose seats that were the closest to their gate. Spencer looked at his watch
"We have at least fifteen minutes before we have to board. I'm going to go and grab a snack. What do you want?"
Serena shook her head "I just want water"
"You need to eat something, it's going to be late the time we get to Las Vegas and we have to get up early to go see mom."
"Just a muffin or a bagel then"
"Alright. I'll be back in a few moments" Spencer headed off towards a snack bar.
Making sure that her brother was gone, Serena pulled out her cell phone. There was another voice message from some unknown person. She had been getting strange phone calls for a week, but she didn't want to tell Spencer and cause him to worry. She felt that she was enough of a burden to him and didn't want to add to the load.
Serena dialed her voice mail box number and listened. A heavy breathing came on and another frightening message.
"You better watch your step Reid. We know who you are and what you have done to your brother. You are going to pay for ruining his life"
