The team was still trying to figure out where Reid and the rest of the kidnapped victims were when Garcia came running into the room.
"So sorry to interrupt, but we just got a letter from Spencer!"
"What!?" shouted Morgan. "What does it say?"
Garcia placed it on the table so the entire team could read it.
Hotch,
Sorry that I let this happen and get so out of control. But I couldn't let them hurt my dad, I'm sure you understand to some degree. We're both fine, they haven't hurt us at all. Can you do me a favor though? One of my professors from Caltech had me write a paper on how Tom Riddle created his new identity as the Dark Lord. He's expecting it this week and I've never turned in anything late so he'll be suspicious if it doesn't come on time. It should be in my desk in the office. Sincerely,
Spencer Reid.
After about 30 seconds Hotch whispered "Voldemort"
"What?!" shouted Morgan. "How can you think about Harry Potter at a time like this?"
"No. it's not like that." Hotch quickly explained. "I just finished reading the second book with Jack. Does anyone know how Voldemort created his name?"
"I know where you're going with this. I totally know where you're going with this boss." Chirped Garcia.
"Well care to fill the rest of us in, then?" muttered Rossi.
Hotch grabbed a piece of paper and began writing. "Voldemort's given name was Tom Marvolo Riddle. Now take those letters and you get I am Lord Voldemort. That title is an acronym for his real name."
"So Reid is telling us that this guy created his title using the letters of his real name?" asked Morgan.
"Yes. Garcia, take the letters from Lord Cranium and see what names we come up with."
"On it boss. I'll have answers faster than you can say Hogwarts." Garcia began typing on her laptop. After a minute she jumped up and shouted that she found a match. "His name is Ronald Cruim. Did really well in high school, graduated in the top five of his class. unfortunately, his family couldn't afford to send him to college so he took up the family business running a local car shop."
"Rossi, Morgan, you two go to Cruim's house. Prentiss and I will go to the shop. See if there are any clues as to where he's holding Reid and the others. Let's go."
Everyone practically jumped out of their chairs and began racing towards the vans.
