~SPENCER POV~

She raised her eyebrow and said "Well?"

"Where is your mother?" I asked and gave me an unamused look.

She crossed her arms over her chest before saying "For every question you ask me, you better be willing to answer the same question. I won't answer another question until you answer your own."

"I'm thirty-three years old." I said with defeat and repeated "Where is your mother?"

"Dead." She answered plainly and then said "Where's yours?"

I didn't hesitate as I said "Home."

"Liar." She stated calmly and I looked at her surprised. "You answered too quickly."

I glared at her for a moment before taking a deep breath and said "She's in a mental institution in Las Vegas."

I waited for her to ask the reason and was surprised when she asked"Is that all of the questions you have?"

I looked at her in shock before saying "You aren't going to ask me why?"

She stared into my brown eyes and I noticed that her eyes were a light blue that reminded me of a clear sky. "I'm not going to violate your personal life anymore than you violate mine. If you don't ask me about my mom, I won't ask about yours."

I leaned back and said "Okay."

"You know, it only seems fair that I get to ask you a question in return. I'll answer the question that I ask you as well." She said and I couldn't help but study her, looking for any sign that she would turn on me.

When I saw none, I let out a breath before saying "What do you want to know?"

"How does your significant other feel about your job?" She asked and I dropped the case file that was in my hand.

I glared at her before saying "That isn't any of your business."

I could have hit myself for the response because with that response, I'd given away more than if I'd have given her a straight answer. She studied me for a moment before saying "She got killed because of this job, didn't she?"

I grabbed the case file and stormed of out the room, slamming the door behind me. It didn't occur to me that there were no passes on her questionnaire and the moment she brought up anything remotely close to the woman I loved, I'd stormed out of the room

I'd never met anyone who could get under my skin so much and make me lose my temper but at this moment, I found myself taking deep breaths to not lose control.

"Reid, are you okay?"I looked and saw that Rossi was the one who'd asked me the question. He and Morgan were standing in the room with the rest of the team again.

I straightened up and said "What did the doctors say?"

Rossi gave me a knowing look and said "That I'll be okay despite the fact that I'm old. What the hell just happened in there?"

I was disappointed in my ability to keep calm but I wasn't about to avoid the question again. "She got under my skin."

"That much is obvious. Reid, you were the one who stated that they were professionals and should know better than to let your guard down." Hotch said and I nodded before walking out of the sheriff's department.

I heard footsteps following me and turned to see that it was JJ. She walked over and stood next to me outside of the door. She gave me a questioning look and I raised an eyebrow at her.

"Do you want to talk about it?" She asked and I smiled softly.

I looked at her and said "I'd like to hear some good news right about now."

JJ gave me a sweet smile in that moment and said "Would another godchild be good news?"

I was so caught off guard that I had no response to what she'd said. I couldn't form words and instead just smiled brightly before hugging her. I was finally able to speak and said "Congratulations. That's definitely good news."

"'I'm glad I could brighten someone's day." She said as she pulled out of the hug.

I then realized something that immediately made me worry about her and the baby. "The bank attack. You were hurt."

"Relax, it was my hand and my elbow. It had nothing to do with my stomach and therefore the baby is fine. You are also the only one the team that knows. I'm about to go tell the rest of them. I just know that I'm going to be out of the field for a while after this." JJ said with a bit of regret but a smile softened her features. I knew she wanted the baby safe, even if it meant that she couldn't be in the field.

I smiled softly before asking "Do you want me to go tell the team the good news with you?"

She nodded and we walked in with that. The team was gathered around the room and I could see that Trinity was nowhere to be seen. That was a good thing because I knew everyone would think back to the blows that were landed in the bank.

"I'm pregnant." JJ said and the team all looked at her before saying several different variations of congratulations.

They hugged JJ and then all looked towards the room where Trinity was. JJ noticed this and smiled. She looked to me and I gave her a knowing look.

"Everything is fine. The fight in the bank didn't damage the baby and barely bruised JJ." I said before looking back to the door. The moment my eyes saw the briefest sight of her, I felt anger rush through my body before I let it go.

We heard a groan from behind the door and a deputy walked out with a hand covering his eye. He looked to the team and said "Who wants to go next?"

Morgan looked over to the door and gently put a hand to his nose. He hadn't needed stitches after all but I knew that another blow would definitely mean that he would have to have them this time.

I cleared my throat before saying "I can't. She's seen that she can get to me and knows she can avoid anything she wants by asking me the right question."

"Then just don't answer her questions." Hotch said and I truly wished it was that easy.

I cleared my throat and looked down at the ground before saying "She won't answer any questions without having a few of her own answered. She's truthful with every word she says and she expects the same. If she weren't a criminal, she would be an amazing profiler. She could tell I was lying before I finished my false statement."

"It's said that when people get so good at lying that no one blinks, they can detect another lie from something as simple as an eye twitch to a blank expression." JJ said and I knew she was right.

I thought for a moment about the possibility of Trinity being a skilled liar and looked up at Hotch before explaining. "Trinity is very straightforward and seems to value honesty above anything else. I don't think she herself is a good liar but I wouldn't be surprised if she was raised by one."

Hotch seemed to agree with my statement but looked to the door that Trinity was behind and said "Either way, we can't trust her. She's dangerous and more than likely going to protect her father at all costs."

I watched as my teammates nodded with understanding while I thought about everything she'd said about her father and knew that it was very unlikely that she would be willing to help him in anyway but the chance was still there.

"Who's interviewing her next?" The sheriff asked and this brought me back to the present.

"We'll give it a rest for today. Don't let her out of the interrogation room and don't let anyone else in. Keep the door locked at all times and the camera's on. We'll return tomorrow to investigate further." Hotch said and the sheriff nodded.

I was surprised to find that I was the last one to leave the office. I stood there, staring at the door that lead to the room Trinity was in before shaking my head and walking out. This was going to be an extremely difficult case.
