Aaron Hotchner left the hospital a man with a purpose, he fully meant what he had told Morgan, if Spencer truly wanted him he would be with his Omega in a heart beat, but he had to be sure that Spencer truly wanted him.
Right now the leader Alpha in him was in full control, he had made a connection the chill his bones when Morgan mentioned that Reid didn't even know his name. Pulling out his phone he called the one person he knew could gather the information he needed and not alert the people he didn't want to know what he was investigating.
"Goddess of the All Knowing.", was the greeting he received.
"Garcia, I need you to find Dr. Reid's admission interview from about six months ago."
"Anything for my Liege and Lord."
"Garcia."
"Yes."
"No one else needs to know." he left any other cautions unvoiced.
As Hotch moved to pick up his phone it rang once again, "Hotchner."
The voice of one very annoyed Erin Strauss was on the other end, "Director Thompson, just called, he claims that the Omega that we sponsored to the Academy attacked an Alpha this morning."
"There was an incident at the dorms this morning, however I can guarantee that Dr. Reid did not instigate the events or encourage them."
"That's a very strong statement, how can you guarantee that?"
"Because Dr. Reid was with Agent Morgan and two other Cadets at the coffee shop before the incident."
"Director Thompson is calling for his immediate removal from the Academy and is trying to discourage the application of any other Omegas wishing to become field agents from being accepted."
"I would highly recommend you oppose any such guidelines. The Omega Equality Act guarantees that Omegas not be denied job opportunities based on secondary gender. The Bureau would come under heavy attack from Omega activist if the policy became public knowledge."
"There have also been several concerns about Dr. Reid bonding with Alphas on his team."
"Dr. Reid is being trained to come to the BAU, and myself and Agent Morgan are the only two Alphas on the team I assume they are referring to us?"
"That would be correct."
"I met Dr. Reid for the first time this morning and Agent Morgan met him Monday. Gideon handled all the recruitment and aided the young man in applying. He did not bond with either of us during his recruitment as we never met. Now if you are through wasting my time with baseless allegations I would like to get back to investigating the attack ON Dr. Reid that occurred this morning."
"This in not over Aaron. Director Thompson is not going to back down easily."
"Tell Director Thompson that I will speak with him personally say around 5, in the BAU conference room."
"I will let him know."
Hotch hung up his phone anger boiling just under the surface. His suspicion becoming stronger by the minute.
Entering the offices of the BAU he noticed that Gideon was still in the round table room with Marcus so he motioned for JJ to follow him into his office.
"Sir." the young blond said sticking her head into the door.
Hotch motioned her to the chair opposite his desk as she entered.
"I need a complete dossier on Cadet Matthew Grey."
JJ nodded and stood to leave, "JJ, be discreet.", she looked him over carefully and once again nodded as she left.
Hotch pinched the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes as he fought to bring his thoughts and emotions under control from the events of the morning. Looking at his clock it was barely 10 am and his world has completely been turn upside down.
This morning when he awoke he was a man struggling with a failing marriage and a wife that was pregnant with a child that probably was not his. Now on top of all of that and the stress of a very demanding job and was bonded in a triad with two other men, one an Omega that he greatly desired, both subordinates. He felt that he had entered into one of Dante's circle of Hell.
He was pulled out of his dark thoughts by the ringing of his office phone.
"Hotchner."
"My Liege, I have found three interviews from that time frame, one with Director Carlson, one with Director Lawrence and the last with Director Thompson. Which one do you want?"
"Send all three, and Garcia I don't want anyone else knowing what we are researching."
"You wound me, I am the ghost of all things digital, no one knows of my presence unless I want them to know."
"Thanks." Hotch said with a small smile and shake of his head.
Within seconds his monitor dinged with the information from Garcia and Hotch prepared to watch the interviews, when he was suddenly assaulted with pain from his bond with Morgan.
'Not my Spencer, not my Pretty Boy' echoed in his head with a strong sense of loss.
Hotch flashed back to the sight of his Omega pale and shaking in his arms earlier in the day, in his mind's eye he saw his eyes roll back in his head and once again Hotch felt the fear of losing the younger man.
With all that he was worth he sent as much strength as he could through the bond to the other Alpha and prepared himself for the worse.
"Hold on please Derek, I am on my way."
He then rushed out of the office to his bondmate and friend, fully prepared to face the loss of their Omega.
AN: Hotch is starting to put the pieces together. Are you? Please review with your thoughts and comments. Stray :)
