After a few days the list of suspects got smaller. They finally found someone. Christopher Marks, he had been recently fired for missing work without informing anyone. He had been working at the front desk so he would have come in contact with all the victims.
"So do you have an address?" Morgan asked trying to contain himself. "Yep I'm sending it to your phones" Garcia told them. "Alright lets go." Morgan said leaving the room. He couldn't believe after all this time they might actually get Reid back.
Hotch and Morgan were the first to arrive at the house just outside Quantico. It was in a small suburban neighborhood with a lot of hoses close together. Morgan looked around. "This doesn't seem like a place someone would keep captives." He said to Hotch. "Yeah, but you never know."
Hotch knocked on the door. A woman answered a few moments later. "Can I help you?" She asked confused. "Yes, were with the FBI and we are looking for Christopher Marks. This was his address." Hotch told her. "Oh, that name sounds familiar. Yes that was the guy that sold me this house about a year ago. He was a really nice."
She invited the two inside leading them into the living room where they sat on the couch. "Would you like anything to drink?" She asked a little nervous of having FBI in her house. "No were fine." Morgan answered. "What can you tell us about him?"
"Well, he was kind, A bit in a hurry to sell the house, also a bit odd." She stated. "What do you mean by that?" Morgan asked. "Well he just seemed off, I don't know how to explain it."

"Well that was weird." Morgan stated as the two got back into the car. "We need to find this guy it seems like he's been laying low for a while now." Hotch said quietly. He called Garcia telling her what happened. She immediately began looking for anything that she could have missed.
By the time they got back to Quantico there was a new case and they had to stop with their investigation. Hotch was trying to convince Strauss that they were so close to finding Spencer.
"You guys really found a suspect?" Prentiss asked Morgan. "Yeah, the bastard left an old address at the job he got fired from so no one would find him." Morgan growled. "I don't see why we are getting a case when we are so close to catching him!"
Hotch entered the conference room looking solemn. "Wheels up in twenty." He told them before heading back to his office. "Damn." Morgan was pissed.

"Spencer please, you need to eat or you'll get sick." Chris told him. He seemed to be loosing his patience with his prisoner. The younger man was too weak; he turned his head away slowly. Food only made his stomach hurt worse.
"Damnit Spencer! Why do you have to be such a bitch!" Chris yanked him off the mattress throwing the agent to the floor making him whimper in pain. They were now back in the basement since Spencer was misbehaving. The man started kick and hitting the already injured man. This only caused him to curl up tighter, trying to protect himself from the blows. Chris seemed to get bored of this quickly and left coming back with a whip. He only used it when he was really angry.
He struck Spencer hard on the back, making him cry out in pain. He did it again and again; making the blood flow freely down the younger mans back. Tears were running down Spencer's face, he was sobbing in agony until the beating finally stopped. He just lay there shaking badly waiting for his life to end and be put out of this misery.
Chris apparently wasn't done with him. He grabbed his captive dragging him back and throwing him onto the mattress. The mattress was painful against his tender back.
"This is what you get for acting like this Spencer. Now you will behave next time right?" Chris asked with an evil grin on his face. Spencer couldn't speak he was in too much pain and the words just couldn't come out. He was backhanded across the face. "Answer me already!" He was so angry, Spencer had never seen him like this before. It was like he had switched from nice to evil in seconds. "Y..yes." He barley got that out.
"You're so weak and worthless, I'm the only one that will ever love you Spencer. So just stop fighting me already." The younger man just nodded, his tear filled eyes gleaming.

"It seems that he is still living around here only about two hours away from Quantico in a small town. No wonder we couldn't find him. He's also using a false name but I have his picture for an ID." Garcia told Hotch and Morgan happily. Morgan sighed; they had finally found the bastard. "So what are we doing hanging around here? Lets go!" Morgan was ready to leave.
