"What is going on Morgan? I hear things and knowing both Reid's and your credit card recently purchased plane tickets to Las Vegas and there is nothing on file about Reid's mom being sick and narrowing your location through the GPS on your phone you are at the Vegas police department...so would you just tell me what is going on!" Garcia babbled on while Morgan rolled his eyes, leaning into the door where the two Reid's wanted to speak in private. The officer in charged had also left the room to check on some leads that were reported about the case.

"You accessed my credit card?" Morgan asked and wiped his face with his hand. "Baby girl, that is illegal you know."

"Answer me Morgan. Hotch isn't saying anything. Just personal leave. So tell or I tell everyone that you and Reid got hitched and I have photoshop pictures to prove it."

"It is personal." Morgan sighed. Maybe he could also do his own investigation about this. He needed to protect his friend and the more he knew about this, the better he can protect Reid. "There a way you can run Reid's name through the computer about 5 years ago and see if his name appears in a birth certificate somewhere?"

"Yea I can do. It shouldn't be hard to do... Wait... " It took a few seconds to sink in what she was typing on her keyboard. "Reid? Junior G man is a daddy?" Garcia's voice squeaked. "Why didn't he tell us? Is this what all this is about? "

"Garcia. He just found out today. This is why we are here. Just do the research."

"I can't believe it. Why wouldn't anyone tell him?" Morgan could hear Garcia typing away. It took a few strokes but she had found what she needed.

"Spencer Reid. Named the father...to...child name Spencer Richards. Born February 17... Mother Austin Richards. Recently deceased... Oh my god Morgan. She was murdered. I have the initial police report. Witness pulled over next to a car that was on the side of the road early morning with its door opens. Witness discovered the body of Austin Richards, her vehicle was struck from behind but also what looked like stabbed wounds on her neck and chest. ... "

"Focus the information on the child. Tell me about the little boy Baby Girl."

"Spencer Richards. 4 years old. The information was just updated in the Las Vegas system. By... her lawyer William Reid?"

"That would explain why he is here. But it doesn't explain why she hired a lawyer before her death."

"Reid's dad is there? How that go?"

"Focus Garcia. Tell me what I want to know. When did the Richards moved to Las Vegas and.. when... woa. Reid! REID!" Morgan yelled as the door swung opened and Reid walked out of the room in a hurry. Morgan closed his phone and followed Reid as they arrived to another room where the small television of the police department break room was on. There was an officer at the door and raised his hand to stop the agents from going into the room. Reid rolled his eyes at the delay while Morgan grabbed his badge and showed it to the officer.

"I am not allowed anyone else in here until ... " The officer began as William Reid caught up to his son and nodded his head. The officer in charge had also followed up noticing the commotion from his office.

"It's alright. He is the child's father." Officer Bhatt gave the permission as the officer stepped aside and let Reid and Morgan into the room. There was a female officer sitting in a chair facing the television screen. Next to her, all eyes were at the small figure sitting next to the officer.

The opening door caused the child to turn his head and see people come into the room. He pushed his glasses up with his finger and got a good look at the new people. His hair crossed his face as he quickly tucked it behind his ear and returned his attention towards the television. The female officer stood up and saw her commanding officer nod at her, giving her the ok to leave.

"I'll be back Spencer." The officer smiled at the child who smiled back at her as she left the room. Morgan's jaw could literally hit the floor. This kid was a carbon copy of Reid. The way he sat to the way he moved his hair out of his face. Same chestnut color hair and hazel eyes. The glasses... Everything. Reid found it hard to move. It seemed his feet were glued onto the floor as the child was sitting there watching cartoons. Morgan was the one that released him from his trance.

"Reid. What are you planning on doing?" Morgan whispered while Reid recovered from his trance and licked his lips.

"I am going to get to know my son." Reid frowned a bit and looked at his own father.

"He doesn't know what happened to his mother yet. I figured you would be the best to explain it to him." William Reid said as Reid nodded his head.

"I will..and after I am heading back with him. Tonight." Reid walked towards the empty chair next to the boy and cleared his throat a bit. The child looked up and adjusted his glasses again. They seemed just like his pair, always too big for his face. "Can I sit here?" Reid asked the child who nodded.

"Sure. are you a policeman?" The child asked as Reid took a seat and moved the chair a bit so he could face the child.

"Something like that. I work with the FBI. I got a badge too. See?" Reid took out his badge and showed it to the child who just mouthed the word Cool. He reached for the badge and inspected it. "So... Spencer." Reid cleared the lump in his throat. " What are you watching?"

"Cartoons. I think its about a sponge. "

"SpongeBob Square Pants.. You know the person who created this made it out of a mistake...You probably like better the story about him living in a pineapple underneath the sea..." Reid stopped himself from throwing out facts to his son.

"Mommy doesn't let me watch cartoons allot" Spencer replied as he looked down at his shoe and swung his feet back and forth.

"What does she let you do?" Reid asked and saw Spencer eyes light up with joy. "Color!" Spencer jumped out of his seat and went towards his bag that he left on the corner floor. He dragged it back to his seat and showed the nice man his coloring book and single pages. Typical 4 year old color sheets but to Spencer they were masterpieces. "That's very good. That's a dinosaur?" Spencer nodded at Reid who looked over at the colored pages. "Why is this one yellow?" Reid asked as he held up a yellow Trex.

"Because he ran into the sun. Dinosaurs are huge!" Spencer answered and to fully understand how huge they were, he stood on the chair he was sitting on and raised his arms up. Reid looked up at Morgan and his father who was still in the room and smiled at both of them. Morgan returned his smile with a grin.

"Do you want to color some right now?" Reid offered as he moved his chair towards the table. Spencer nodded and also pushed his chair towards the table and stood up on the chair to reach the table. Reid helped Spencer get into his bag and pull out the box of crayons he had in a ziplock bag. "Can I color some with you?"

"Yea. Just... " Spencer went through his empty sheets and pointed one out. "Not this one. Mrs Hatcher wants me to do this one all by myself."

"Who's Mrs. Hatcher?"

"She's really nice. I stay with her when Mommy is at work." He picked up a crayon and started to color his landscape of trees and mountains. Reid had taken the sheet of a bear and its cub and started to color the fur on the cub. Reid moved on to color the hat on the bigger bear and wondered why bear's wore hats. Spencer was now coloring the sky of his masterpiece. "Can I see mommy soon? Mrs Hatcher said she was sick."

"Is that what Mrs. Hatcher said?"

"Yea. That she was sick and the police picked me up. The sirens is really loud! They said I can see mommy soon. Is it soon now?" Spencer asked

"Well that is why I am here Spencer. You see, I don't want to lie to you ok? Your Mommy was in a car accident. She got really hurt. " Reid knew this was going to be more difficult to explain. He watched Spencer as he continued to color and shake his head a bit.

"She is ok right? Mommy always wears her seat belt. She always made me wear mine and tell me it keeps us safe. She is going to be ok."

"I'm sorry Spencer. She is not ok. Your Mom is..." Reid found this part difficult the most. Do children understand the meaning of death at this young of an age?

"Is she.. with Grandpa?" Spencer asked, throwing Reid off course with his thinking. "With the Angels?"

"Yes. Mommy is with the Angels now."

"I want her to be here with me. Not the Angels. Not with Grandpa. With me." Spencer threw his crayon he held in his tiny hand and started to cry. He took off his glasses and dropped them on the floor. "She promised she wouldn't leave me ever. She said that each time when she left me at Mrs. Hatcher house. She promised!" Spencer cried even more.

Reid took the boy into his arms and held him tight. He cried a bit himself for the lost of Austin and the way the news was hurting his son. He rubbed Spencer's back as his hiccups started and his small voice kept begging for his mommy to come back. "There's something you have to know about me Spencer." Reid said into the child's ear. "I will always protect you for now on. You will be safe with me because... I'm your dad." Spencer pushed away a bit to get a look at the man saying he was his dad.

Hazel eyes met each other and Spencer was the first to move back into his Dad's arms and was being held once again. Reid felt his son relax in his arms and noticed that Spencer had fallen asleep. Reid motioned for Morgan to help him grab his things and stood up, holding his son in his arms.

Morgan shoved everything into the child's bag and picked up the fallen glasses off the floor. He held Reid's messenger bag and the child's bag as he followed Reid towards the door.

"Fax me the reports and anything else you need from me. We are leaving." Reid spoke to his father who was still in the room. He was going to protest but Reid walked out before anything was said.

"As much as following you this whole day as been an adventure, you have to come clean and tell me what is going on Pretty boy?" Morgan asked

"We can't stay here. I have to be able to protect him Morgan. "

"I get that. I get it. But he probably has stuff we need to pick up for him. His clothes. Toys. Take a moment to absorb all this. Just... alright. Stop and look at me Reid." Morgan stopped walking and set both bags on the floor. He needed Reid to be honest with him and wanted it now. Reid took two more steps before turning back around and facing Morgan.

"This wasn't random Morgan. Austin was murdered and... She was targeted. And Spencer.. is next."
