The Haunting Past Part 2

Morgan was the first to react after the video ended. He grabbed Gordon by his shirt collar and backed him up against the wall. As he spoke, his voice was filled with anger and sadness.

"How could you do this to Reid? We thought that you were a wonderful person, but the truth is you were just a jerk. You destroyed a woman's life and caused Reid to suffer since he was a kid. Now… just when his life gets better, he might be killed because of you."

"That's enough Morgan. Let go." Hotch ordered. It took Gideon, Hotch and Elle to pull him away from Gordon.

"That's not the truth. I loved Diana very much. She was the one who left me. Just when I thought I was the happiest guy in the world, she left me with only a letter. I never heard from her again. My life came crashing down the day she left. I was so heartbroken, that I tried to end my life. If my mom hadn't found me in time, I would've died. It took me a long time before I managed to pick up my life again.

When my mom decided to marry my stepfather, I chose to change my name to leave the past behind and start a new life. I spent all my time building my career as I was afraid of getting into a relationship. It took me a very long time before I was able to accept a new relationship with Maria."

Gideon held out his hand to stop Morgan from lashing out at Gordon. He looked into Morgan's eyes as he spoke, "If we want to save Reid, we have to stop fighting among ourselves."

"Just who the hell is this guy, Gordon? He knew you." JJ asked.

"His name is Wilson Todd. He and Diana were neighbors when they were kids. They went to the same pre-school, high school, and subsequently went to the same University. Diana always treated him as her best friend, but Wilson has loved her since they were kids. He was really upset when he found out that we were dating. One night, he went to her place after I sent her home and tried to rape her. Luckily, I went back to get something and fought him off. Diana didn't want to report him to the police, but I advised her to do so as I was worried about her safety. He was sentenced to a few years in jail. We graduated long before he was released. I hadn't thought of it since Diana left."

"So he could have been planning to get his revenge on you all this time, but because you changed your name, it took him a long time to find you." Elle said.

"But when did Reid know about the truth? And based on the Reid we knew, he would have tried everything to avoid Gordon if what Wilson said was true." JJ said.

"That package!" Morgan suddenly said. "On his birthday, a guy came to look for Reid and after he left, Reid had a package with him. His eyes were red when he came out of the room. He must have known something then."

"Alright… Let's split up to work on this. Garcia… I need you to check out the FBI database on Gordon and Reid's DNA records. We don't need to use the blood provided by Wilson since the FBI keeps all records of the agent. Also… dig out all information that you can find on Wilson Todd. Gideon and JJ, stay with Gordon just in case Wilson might come for him. Gordon, I will arrange to bring your family to a safe house. Morgan and Elle, come with me to Reid's apartment. Let's see if we can find whatever was in that package." Hotch ordered.

Upon reaching Reid's apartment, Elle went to speak to the neighbors to see if they might've seen anything, while Hotch and Morgan went into Reid's apartment to search for the package. Morgan searched the living room, while Hotch went to the bedroom. Hotch felt uneasy about searching the room as he didn't want to intrude the young man's privacy, but he knew he had no choice if he wanted to get him back.

There wasn't much in the bedroom. Besides the bed, there was only a desk near the window which Hotch assumed to be where the young man wrote his letters to his mom. Hotch tried to open one of the drawers and found that it was locked. He used the letter opener left on the table to force open the drawer and saw the box. He scanned through the photos in the box and read the letter written by Diana.

"This must be it," Hotch thought. Carefully, he placed the things back into the box and took it with him to look for Morgan.

Elle joined Hotch and Morgan in the SVU. She told Hotch that one of the neighbors saw a van parked in the opposite street last night, and saw it drive off early this morning. She had already called Garcia to check on the plate number given by the neighbor.

They were about to reach the office, when Morgan's phone rang. "Hi, baby girl, hope you've got good news for me".

"You've got it, honey. I found an address, and sent it to all your phones. Gideon, JJ and Gordon are already on their way."

"You really are my Goddess."

"You bet! Quick… go and bring our dear boy home! Make sure he doesn't get hurt, or you'll answer to me!"

Reid was waiting in fear for his captor's return, and wondered what his next plan was. He was also worried about the kids' safety, wondering if they had managed to get help. Reid was not afraid of his own death, but instead he was worried about how his father would feel after knowing the truth, and hoped that the team would not misunderstand him.

He could imagine how Morgan would react if that happened. Sitting there alone, Reid was puzzled as how things had come to this stage. He'd decided to hide the truth to protect his father, but it seemed to be causing more harm instead. His thoughts were broken when he heard his captor's voice.

"It's time to begin…"
