Chapter 4
"Garcia I have a list of names for you to run!" Reid announced as he entered the lair.
"My parent included." Garcia said with his fingers over the keyboard ready to type.
"Garcia I... yes they're here, but please just run the names." Reid said trying not to reveal too much.
"Reid I'm sorry... it just... it's one of those days, so what the names?" Garcia asked trying to move past the awkward moment that had just occurred.
"Ok so we have 34 potential, we need-"Reid began,
"34 victims, please tell me at least half are alive!" Garcia said froze in shock.
"Sorry!" Reid said shrugging his shoulders, Garcia knew what he meant.
"Ok give me the list." Garcia said sighing, holding her hand out for the piece of paper. "So is this what happens when we die, our names get written down on a piece of paper and given to a tech nerd to dig through our former life."
"I... hotch... I best be getting back to the round table." Reid said making a swift exit as to avoid the conversation topic he could feel he was getting dragged into.
"Tell my Morgan I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"began Garcia
"Got it." Reid said, straightening up, ready to leave.
"... and Reid!" Garcia shouted before he got back to the door. "Whatever the outcome is, promise me you'll tell me the truth Reid!" Garcia said as she wiped away the few tears that began to roll down her face
"Promise!" Reid said as he shut the door.
"So?" Morgan asked as Reid re-entered the conference room
"Oh... Garcia's running the names now!"
"What up kid?" Morgan said looking at Reid the way he always does when he knows something is wrong.
"Just something she said that's all!" Reid replied, "She made me promise to tell her the outcome!"
"Ye and we will kid, we were always gonna tell her, it's her family she deserves to know!" Morgan replied.
"I just have the feeling this case isn't going to end well, what if we can't tell her, what if we don't find out... we've never had a case like this and I just have that feeling!" Reid replied "
"Err Reid!" Morgan said nervously as Reid turned round to see Garcia in the doorway!
"Here's what I've found, these 13 families, people, couples, whatever all did their weekly shopping at the same place." Garcia said passing victim files to hotch
"Garcia I..." Reid tried to say something but he didn't know what to say.
"ok ill start calling the families, let see what these were up to during their last week's!" jj said picking up the files and he cell as she walked towards her office.
"Anderson and Reid you go to the turner house and have a look round see if anything looks out the ordinary." Hotch ordered
"But it's been a month, wont the families have cleaned out the house?" Anderson asked
"They're the latest victims so hopefully it won't be as progressed." Hotch replied
"Rossi and Prentiss you go to la and look round Monday's victim's house." Hotch asked
"Marcia kamel!" Garcia said "her names Marcia kamel, she's not Mondays victim, she Marcia kamel, she may no longer be with us but she still has a name and its Marcia kamel!" Garcia said with a very annoyed tone of voice
"Baby girl?" Morgan asked grabbing her shoulder to try and calm her down
"No Derek!" Garcia said walking out
4 hours later
"Are you sure you're ready?" Morgan asked Garcia as they sat in a lightly lit room, just the two of them.
"yes let's just do this Morgan, I need to know I'm helping and I'm not helping just sat in there looking at blank computer screens whist you are all off interviewing victims and looking at their houses, reading case files, finding new victims!" Garcia said, he speed getting faster as she got more into the topic.
"baby girl calm down, just take a deep breath and close your eyes, you, we can get through this!" Morgan said trying to calm her down
"ok." Garcia replied following Morgan's instructions.
"Ok so let's go back to the day before the incident, where are you?" Morgan asked in a soothing voice.
"I'm on the sofa; I keep looking up at the clock on the wall, my parents... I'm waiting for my parents to come home!"
"Where are they Garcia" Morgan asked
"They went to a dinner party, they were supposed to be back by 9 but it was later than that!"
Ok, ok well done, now let's go to when they do come home, what time is it?" Morgan asked
"I can't remember late!" Garcia replied
"Try to be more specific Penelope, come on baby girl!" Morgan coaxed
"I don't know!"
"Yes you do doll face, just try!"
"10, its 10 o'clock, I started arguing with them about their timing!"
"Ok that's good, what happens next?" Morgan enquired
"They drops there shopping bags and go upstairs, to bed"
"What in the bags Garcia?"Morgan asked
"Juice! Bottled juice!" Garcia replied confused "why would they go shopping for juice after a dinner party?"
"What strange about that?" Morgan asked
"All they drank was water and that's what they expected me to drink!" Garcia replied
"Ok that's good baby girl, that's all for now!" Morgan told Garcia as he reached for her hand.
"Was... is... was anything useful?" Garcia asked with hope in her eyes
"Yes baby girl it was... it was very helpful!"...
