Spencer was staying with Chelsea most nights when he was not away on a case. At first he would go back to his apartment frequently to get clean clothes and get his laundry together. Recently he began to take advantage of the concierge services in Chelsea's building. A local dry cleaner and fluff and fold had same day service with pick up and delivery in Chelsea's building. Chelsea also had a washer and dryer in her apartment. Spencer still went back to his own apartment to exchange a some clothes, pick up his mail and occasionally stay the night if he came back very late from a case or Chelsea stayed the night at a friends, her mom's, or grandpa's.

Chelsea wanted to ask Spencer to move in with her, but she knew that until he told the rest of the team about her, he wouldn't even consider it. She loved having him with her as often as he was able, but would still prefer to have him permanently move in. With plans of him hopefully moving in some day, she decided to update a few items in her apartment. When she purchased the apartment, the kitchen had been upgraded with high-end appliances and granite counters.

The bathrooms all had standard builder's grade cabinets and tile counters and Chelsea had always wanted to change them. To save money the builders had also installed 30" high vanities. Even at 5'6" the counters felt short for her but Spencer had to really bend down. She also had plans to also update all of the builder installed closet rods. They were poorly designed, but living alone she had not bothered to change them. She scheduled all three of the bathrooms to be updated in mid March and they went to say at Spencer's apartment.

Spencer's one bedroom apartment was small, clean and full of books, some small items and toys. It had a small kitchen with a table set up under the window with two chairs. In the living area there was a beautiful antique leather wing back chair with a bronze floor lamp from the 1940s next to it. A small antique wood writing desk was against one wall. On the writing portion of the desk was his seldom used laptop, a pair of bronzed baby shoes, and a vintage writing set, including feather quill pen, ink well and blotter on a writing stand. On the top of the desk were 2 Star Wars collectibles and two framed photos. One photo was of a 12-year-old Spencer at his High School Graduation with his mom and the other of JJ, Will with Henry from the Baptism.

When he had admitted his mother in the Bennington Sanitarium in Las Vegas, he had boxed up and stored some of his childhood items and some things from his mother's travels that she was not allowed to have with her. For liability reasons they did not want to have patients keep expensive items in their rooms. His mother had traveled to the United Kingdom many times before she was married and had picked up some first edition novels was well as some Royal Daulton and Hummel-Goebel figurines. To a stranger seeing his apartment for the first time, the many dainty knickknacks and childhood toys would seem out of place on the large wood bookshelf. But anyone that knew Spencer understood that he did not display things due to fashion; he wanted to keep some of his good childhood memories near him.

The bedroom had a full size bed, one nightstand and a 5 drawer tall dresser. The closet was divided with one side for his clothes and the other side had shelves that stored some boxes of old photos, 3 chess sets, college textbooks, Halloween masks and collectables, many first edition books in several languages and his shoes. His TV was also in the closet. He rarely watched, but occasionally watched news reports, historical events and on occasion one of the team would call him to see information on a past or current case. He also had a small DVD collection of documentaries and sci-fi movies and he sometimes rented movies from a local shop.

On March 18th, while they were living at Spencer's apartment, he was called away to Boston for a case. Chelsea knew where he was and Internet stories of "The Boston Reaper" started to show up in Yahoo News. She remembered reading The Night of the Reaper by a reporter years ago with her grandfather. She looked up the book and the reporter was named Roy Colson. It had been 10 years since The Reaper had killed anyone. She assumed this was a copycat like most people did, but she still wanted Spencer to be extra careful. The Reaper's kills had seemed random and he didn't have a specific type of victim as many serial killers do. She didn't want Spencer or any of the team to be the next victim.

Spencer called her each night to let her know he was OK and to make sure she was fine. He was still worried about the case she was working on and his apartment building didn't have the same security measures that hers did. After his case was over, before he got on the jet, he was able to call her from his hotel room. He was relieved that they had caught the unsub and told her that it was actually George Foyet, the original Reaper, not a copycat. He had posed as a victim 10 years ago and was as the only one that survived the attack. He explained that Hotch had worked on the original case and Foyet had made him a challenge and Hotch had won. Chelsea was glad to know that the reaper was behind bars, the families would have some closure after all of these years and that Spencer was on his way home. She got permission from Spencer to tell her grandpa the story because they had read the book together.

About five hours later, when she was at her grandpa's house telling him the story, she received a call from Spencer that Foyet had escaped from jail and they had found all of the plans for the local jails and prisons in one of his hideaways. He had been planning this for a long time. Chelsea was really worried that he might want to come after the entire team for catching him, but Spencer was sure that he was safe. He felt that Foyet was going to go somewhere and regroup and set up new aliases before he did anything.

Two days after he was back home, the bathroom renovations were all completed at Chelsea's apartment and Spencer continued to spend most of his off time at her place. The last week in March, Spencer was called to Royal, Indiana on an arson case that involved killing multiple people. The night before he left, two agents from the FBI White Collar united showed up at Chelsea's apartment. They had a subpoena for all of her Abbot and Carson Brokerage case files. Spencer looked over the document and confirmed it was legitimate.

The subpoena included any notes she had on the case. Her notes were a combination of the SEC's case against the agents and her own personal investigation into the embezzling. As the agents gathered all of the information, one of them started to look through Chelsea's files. He asked Chelsea, "You have some impressive conclusions here in your notes. How long have you been aware of the embezzlement?"

Chelsea answered truthfully. "I've been suspicions for almost a month, but I've just been getting detailed proof together over the last week." She was thankful she had never written down any of the information Spencer had found from Garcia's search. That would have been included in the information the FBI confiscated and would have been hard to explain.

"Would you be willing to testify to all of this?"

"I signed a Non Disclosure Agreement when I was hired by the brokerage firm to investigate the insider trading infractions. I know much of this information is public record, but I could only testify if you subpoenaed me. My notes are thorough, and overlap both cases. They might be difficult for someone else to interpret." She implied she would be a willing and helpful witness, but could not do so of her own accord without violating the client's confidentially agreement.

While Spencer was in Indiana working on the arson case, he continued to worry about Chelsea being called to testify in the case. Two days after Spencer left, she received the subpoena to testify in the embezzling case. She told Spencer she was happy, she wanted to testify and put these guys away. Although the two men did not have any record of violence, there was so much money at stake; he knew she could be in danger. He had seen people kill for much less.

Spencer had called both her grandpa and John hoping they would help protect her while he was gone or convince her to stay with her grandpa until the trial. Chelsea was getting a little annoyed at all of the attention, but agreed to stay with her grandpa whenever Spencer was not around.

When Spencer was on the jet home after they had captured the arsonist, Chelsea texted him that Walker and Martinez had reached a plea bargain agreement. Her records, combined with that the FBI already had, convinced them they would be found guilty in the trial. They had also been giving immunity for some of their crimes by helping the SEC fix some of the software loopholes that had made their embalmment possible.

There were no accurate records of how much money had been sent offshore and Spencer and Chelsea understood that both defendants realized that with the plea bargain and the immunity deal, they would receive limited time in a low security "Club Fed" prison and be out in 10 years or maybe less for good behavior. They were both young men and probably thought it was worth it for a very rich retirement out of the country after they were released. It upset Chelsea that even with jail time they basically had gotten away with stealing millions of dollars from people's retirement accounts. Not only would the victims never see the money again, Walker and Martinez were not getting much of a punishment. Spencer sympathized with her. Many times after catching the unsub, the system didn't always work. He had seen dangerous people go free, but he had to believe that what they all did made a difference. He was also relieved that the pair had willingly made the deal and not made any threats on Chelsea or any of the other witnesses.

Chelsea still needed to testily at the trial of the four defendants suspected insider trading. That was the case she originally had been internally hired to investigate and she was subpoenaed for that trial also. She contacted the SEC to let them know the FBI had taken all of her records and notes in the embezzling case. She was told she would have access to them 24 hours before the trial and the day of the trial.

During the trial, two of the defendants were found guilty and the other two were not. It was determined that Walker and Martinez had set up the other two defendants up in an effort to distract everyone from their embezzling. Two of the brokers that were accused of insider trading went public because they knew they were innocent. The other two followed with information because they figured out that someone was embezzling and they hoped that the other case would get more attention and they might get immunity if they had information.

If the brokerage had not come under scrutiny from the SEC, the owners would have been able to keep their embezzlement scam going for at least another year.

It was unclear if she would ever get paid for her work on this case. The brokerage had been shut down and the federal government had seized all of the firm's assets. It was disappointing because she had worked several months on the insider trading case. She understood that the other work against the brokerage's owners was on her own time.

A week after the second trial, Chelsea got good news from one of the FBI White Collar agents. He told Chelsea there was a $25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Walker and Martinez in the embalmment case. She was never hired to do that work and her paper trail had helped make a deal that would put them in jail and keep other firms from working the same scam. She was relieved because she had planned to use the income from this case on her bathroom remodels and she had not done any other work in a month.
