Normally when Spencer got home from a case he would relax, maybe sit down with a good book for a while. This time though he couldn't relax no matter how hard he tried, he was just too nervous. He should have been excited, after all he was going to see Lisa, but he was too terrified of the fact that he would have to sit through an entire meal with her parents, to feel anything else. Spencer had already taken 2 showers, looked through his entire wardrobe 4 times and brushed his hair 6 times and he hadn't even been home 3 hours yet.

He was almost thankful when the clock finally informed him that it was time for him to leave. He was fairly certain that actually meeting her parents couldn't be half as agonizing as waiting to meet them had been.

Spencer had just gotten into a cab and informed the driver where to go when his phone rang.

"Hello?" he answered.

"Hey Spence, you've got to come in."

"What? JJ, I'm on my way to meet Lisa's parents." He told her, as though she and the others hadn't already had to deal with his panic at the situation.

"I know Reid but it's coming from above, everyone's being called in. And I mean everyone."

Spencer rubbed his eyes, this could not be happening to him.

"We need you here now."

"Alright, I'm on my way." Spencer sighed hanging up the phone.

"Hey, I'm goning to have to change the destination. Can you drop me off at the nearest metro station?" Spencer asked as he dialed Lisa's number.

Lisa was walking up to the restaurant to meet her parents when she got Spencer's phone call. "Hey, couldn't wait another 5 minutes to talk to me?" Lisa asked, smiling. She had spent hours getting ready, excited to see Spencer again for the first time in well over a month.

"Yeah, about that, Lisa I can't make it. I just got a call."

"And it can't wait until morning?"

"Apparently not."

"Well what is it?"

"I don't know yet. I'm really sorry Lisa."

"It's okay. I understand, just hurry back, yeah?"

"I will. Bye."

"Bye." Lisa sighed heavily as she hung up the phone. She saw her dad waving at her and slowly walked over. "Hi"

"Hey honey, so where is your man?" her dad asked.

"He can't make it, apparently there's been some kind of emergency at work."

Her mother opened her mouth to say something but Lisa's dad quickly intervened. "Well that's a shame, but I suppose we can still have a nice family dinner."

Lisa's mom just smiled as George led them into the restaurant, though Lisa could clearly tell she wanted to say something.

Spencer arrived at the BAU and found the place in panic. Any anger or annoyance he had felt at being called in was immediately replaced with confusion.

"Finally! What took you so long?"

"The metro was running late, JJ what's going on?" Spencer said following her as she raced past him to the conference room where everyone else was already assembled.

Spencer took a seat next to Derek who looked just as confused as Spencer felt. "Do you know what's going on?" Spencer leaned over and asked.

"No idea, no one's said anything yet, but it's gotta be big."

Their conversation was interrupted as JJ began to speak.

"As I'm sure you can we have not been called in for a simple case. One hour ago these pictures along with a letter were sent to the head office." JJ turned the screen on and three pictures of blindfolded and beaten people appeared. They weren't just any people either the three highest ranking agents in the FBI, Jared Holton, Henry Craiger and Heather Baker.

"Oh God." Emily said, voicing everyone's thoughts.

"What do we know?" Aaron asked, immediately getting down to business.

"Almost nothing," JJ told them looking terrified. "And we don't have much time either. In the note the unsub writes 'you have three day and then three bodies'", there's a copy of the full note in here, she said finally handing out case files, brought in only moments ago by a frazzled looking intern.

"Where were they last seen?" Spencer asked.

"They were all seen by their families leaving for work this morning, all of them called in sick, so no one noticed them missing, until this."

"Who could have done this?" Penelope asked, more to herself than anyone else.

"That's what we need to figure out."
