Chapter Four:

"We found him like this" JJ stated, arms crossed and trying not to breath in the horrendous fumes coming up from the floor. The lab was blocked off as the team stood in the room. Well, except Emma who was standing outside the door with a scowl on her face and her nose pinched between her fingers, she didn't want to suffocate.

"First time at a crime scene where the body is still ripe" Emily laughed and waved to Emma who pursed her lips and turned. Spencer had looked over his shoulder to Emma who was talking to a guard who was shaking and wide eyed.

"Maybe I should…" Spencer trailed off, Hotch shook his head and nodded for Rossi to follow out to Emma. "Wait…" Spencer looked to the blood puddle then furrowed his brow. Hotch saw it as well.

"The unsub had Richard Karr cut in half but most of the blood wasn't near him, he was taken… the coroner…" Everyone knew what came next. They were silent, as Spencer walked around the body once to get the full look at the body. Like the report on Richard, the Coroner's face was ripped off, dead skin hanging from his scalp as if it were literally torn from his body.

"He was killed on site" Spencer whispered. "Hey… where was Richard being stored?" Spencer asked as JJ pointed to the empty slab behind Spencer, before furrowing his brow.

"Wait, The body was right there when we found the coroner" JJ stated, scooting around the body of the medical man to the slab and looking over it. Derek followed her over to it and looked over it then under it. The body wasn't there, and there was no indication it had been. "I swear, it was there when we came in, I saw it before seeing the Coroner"

"JJ, did you and David leave the room to call us?" Hotch asked, looking around the room, there were man doors and body drawers, the killer could still be in the room.

"Yes, but I was right outside the door as Rossi went for the guard down the hall" They looked around the room, all suspicious that the man and Richard Karr could still be there. But where? They couldn't see anyone.

Then a stench came riding over the room. Not just that, but the room stunk, the smell was more than suffocating, it was wrong. It didn't smell like a decaying body, or surgical cleaner, more like… poison or some kind of gas. Jumping up, he covered his mouth and went wide eyed as he watched Emily wobble before falling over, Derek falling to his knees gasping for air. JJ rushed for the door but fell to her knees and fainted, Derek slipping in and out of unconscious state. Hotch was leaning hard on the wall and panting, Spencer was beginning to feel it as well.

He was slowly turning and caught the wide eyes of Emma rushing in, a mask over her mouth and rushing to him. His throat ran dry but everything seemed to go slow as she reached out to grab him. Only Spencer fell right on the body, soaking up the blood on his shirt. His world started to go fuzzy, watching Rossi come in searching for the smell with the guard while Emma shouted. Before his whole world went black, he managed to choke out something, the black figure running for the door.

"Killer!" His hand was shakey and that was it, his mind and world went black.

Emma jumped, to the man darting out of the room. She saw Rossi pointed and shouted for her to run, and she would have without a second thought, but Spencer was fainted and in a pile of blood, but she had to. The Guard and Rossi were taking care of it, and Emma would be right back. She bolted out the door after the masked ninja guy.

"STOP!" She screamed, leaping over tables and skidding around corners, making her feet go as fast as they would allow her. Before she knew it, she was flying down the rail of stairs and leaping after the man only a few strides in front of her.

Her head screamed for her to go faster, and push harder. Emma could feel her muscles pounding with every long stride and shove of a medical person as the masked man did so. She needed to catch him, this was her job to protect Spencer Reid, and now was her time to show she really meant something. That's when she grabbed onto a handful of empty needles from a man's bucket and chucked them as hard as she could.

"STOP!" She screamed, watching the needles collide with the mans neck and he went down, through the front door and down the concrete steps. Heart racing and mind going in 6 different ways, Emma leapt out the door and down onto the man, ripping the harmless needles from his neck and holding his wrists hard. Panting, she pulled him to his feet before smashing him up against the first wall she found.

"I told you… to stop" She gasped for air before grabbing the rubber band from her pony-tail and pulling it harshly tight over his wrists, making it easier to hold them with one hand. He was cursing, but she couldn't hear him over the pounding in her ears, plus the fact it sounded like he was cursing in a different language.

"English!" She ripped at the mask, and watched it fall off his face. There stood a tan-ish looking man, possible Peruvian, with black hair and two bright green eyes glaring daggers at her.

"Fuck you white girl" He hissed, spitting in her direction. It failed to hit her, but didn't fail to piss her off.

"This white girl just took you down, show some respect" She smashed him up against the wall harder. "Now what did you poison them with!" Emma snapped. He laughed, and laughed, and laughed. Emma's blood was boiling and she couldn't hold it in, she pulled him back and threw him against the wall once, twice, before being pulled off him by police men, one grabbing the tan man and putting chains where her rubber band was. Emma was shouting any and every curse word she could muster, fighting against the muscle holding her back, her long chestnut hair flying around her.

"Calm down," Rossi grabbed her. Emma glowered at the man but nonetheless shut her trap and watched him being dragged off, still laughing. "I've got it from here" He told the police before eyeing Emma who was puffing before falling to her knees and panting.

"First time is always the hardest" David whispered, patting her shoulder before looking over the coroners office where the team was being rolled out on stretchers. "But think of it this way, you've done your job, you caught him"

"But… he didn't tell me anything" Emma hissed, getting to her feet and looking sympathetic towards the team, passed out on the white cloth, and Spencer covered in someone else's blood. David patted her shoulder before following her as she walked slowly to the ambulances where the team was being hooked up and worked on to make them breath.

Thankfully they all began breathing, and Emma leaned up against one, trying to get her own breath back. David Rossi watched her as she looked around for a bit then inside Spencer's ambulance. He could tell she cared, the way she ran to him first before running after the man, it was obvious she had connected with him in the last 24 hours. However, as he went to talk to her again, his phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Rossi, It's Garcia, I was looking up our coroner, his name was Harold Mills, he's 30-"

"Garcia, does this have any relevance?" David groaned, "Because we have a situation"

"Oh, it does, because guess who had legal signed up to Richard Karr's life partner, and get this Richard Karr was under witness protection for turning in a man by the name of James Butallia, and he was a well known poison gas man and Richard had witnessed him gas a man's house"

-o-o-

"James Butallia, you've got a record" David stated, sitting beside Hotch who was taking it slow. Since the day before, everyone was fine and no permanent damage was inflicted but they had severe head-aches.

"And?" He snarled. The man from the ninja suit was now in a orange jump suit with giant bruises over the back of his neck and the right side of his face. All inflicted by Emma.

"Do you know how much assaulting a federal agent is in jail time, and how much using illegal toxins will help?" Hotch hissed, rubbing his head.

"Hey, that bitch smashed my nose!"
"Stay on topic James, who cut up the coroner" Hotch snapped, before recoiling to himself as his head pounded.

"Like hell I know, I got out of that hell hole and came lookin' for that dumb faggot that turned me in, I went for his faggot husband and found him cut up on the floor. I knew you guys would blame me so I hid in a room and put yous on some of my knock out gas and took for the door until that Bitch took me out" He snarled, pursing his lips and huffing to himself.

David wanted to chuckle but it wouldn't be the right time to do so. Emma had done a number on him, so it reminded David not to get on her bad side because Emma could do damage to a man. James Butallia was beaten to the point his whole face changed to a shade deeper.

Well, one couldn't say that Emma wasn't cut out for the job, with Emma Spencer would never be kidnapped or hurt. David was even convinced that she might be able to punch a bullet away if it was possible.

"We're not going to get anything from him" Hotch snarled, walking out of the room to where Spencer was sitting in a chair listening to them.

"He's telling the truth" Emma whispered, standing beside Spencer with crossed arms, "The man didn't have any blood on him, and he only smelt of smoke… if he had done it, he'd be covered in face blood from taking off the man's face" Spencer nodded, standing up very unstable. Jumping to his aid, she threw his arm over her shoulder and had a hand on his rib cage on the other side, gently of course.

"I'm fine Emma," He whispered, but his voice was coarse and he looked like he hadn't gotten enough sleep to revive from the gas. She looked him in the face with concern before sliding from him and watching him wobble before pulling him back.

"You're not fine Spence, come on, you need coffee" She walked slowly with him leaning on her to the coffee machine. Hotch watched the two as Emma sat him down on a roller chair and went to make him a cup of Coffee. Spencer at first stared at the floor only to look up as Emma handed him his coffee with an apologetic look. She was probably apologizing to him, as he smiled weekly and shook his head, telling her it was okay, Hotch didn't know what to say. She had become apart of the team in a day.

"Alright, I'm going to go see if Derek got a hold of Penelope and see if she figured out who got into the coroner's office before James" She patted his shoulder before walking towards Derek on the phone across the office they were in. Spencer sipped slowly, watching her walk away.

"Spencer, you going to be okay?" JJ asked, standing beside Reid in the chair as he began to feel a little bit less tired with the coffee.

"Yes, I'll be fine" He whispered, taking another sip. There was something different in his coffee, it tasted, sweeter and… "She put Chocolate in my coffee" He chuckled, looking to the cup of coffee and to the table where the coffee maker was. There was an open bar of chocolate on it and suddenly he was laughing more and more.

"What's so funny" JJ asked, looking to Spencer as if he was going mad.

"Chocolate fixes everything… she had a harry potter book the night she moved in and I made fun of her for it, and she swore she'd make me see her way. She said 'There are valuable life lessons in Harry Potter'"
