"What is it that you want?" Rossi said, sitting down in a nearby chair.
"What I want?" The gunman asked. "Are you sure you don't know? I mean you're the one who caught me. You're the one who put me away. Surely, you know what I want."
"Refresh my memory", Rossi said, stalling. "I'm getting old."
The gunman pushed Fran towards the chairs that Rossi, Reid and Kari were sitting in. She stumbled a bit but sat down next to Rossi.
"Dave, what's happening?" Fran said, crying.
"Bella, it will be OK, I promise."
"Oh I wouldn't promise her that", he said, waving the gun around. "This won't turn out like it did on April 7th, 2007."
"April 7th?" Rossi said. Then he smiled. "Kyle. Kyle Goldman."
"Kyle Goldman?" Reid said. "I know that name."
"So do I, Spence", Kari said. "It's not a coincidence him keeping us four. Fran I think is extra, but me and David, well we know him very well."
"But how?" Fran said.
The gunman raised his hand. "Oh, let me! Let me tell you how I was one of the most notorious rapists that ever lived! And he", Kyle said, pointing his gun at Rossi, "found me and stopped me. Rapist! Ha! I hate that word. I prefer the opportunist. I simply sought an opportunity to get what I wanted. I never even killed anyone. Well, not on purpose." He laughed maniacally. "But I guess I could get a taste for it."
Rossi heard the low beep of his front door opening while Kyle was deep in his monologue. He prayed whoever it was would stay hidden.
"Kyle", Rossi said, "this seems very elaborate for just trying to get back at me for an arrest. What are you really trying to pull here?"
"Always the smartest in the room, huh?" Kyle said. "Well, not today. Why don't we let Miss Summers answer that?"
"That's Mrs. Reid", Spencer said, trying to get up. Kari gently pushed him back down. He turned to Kari. "Kari?" Reid said.
"I did his interview when he was in the Penn", Kari said. "He kept telling me how pretty I was, and how I needed a 'real man' to show me what I was missing."
At those words, Reid got very red. Kari patted his knee.
"He couldn't touch me then", she said, turning to look at Kyle. "And he won't touch me now."
"Oh really?" Kyle said. "You seem so sure of yourself. Care to tell me why?"
"Look behind you, Dumb-ass", Kari said.
Kyle looked behind him and the group of workers that were huddled by the back entrance were gone.
"Where did they go?" Kyle said, getting angrier.
"Probably slipped out while you were doing you super villain monologue. They're long gone by now, probably called the police as soon as they were out of earshot." Kari smiled and sat back.
"You've always been a bit smug for my liking", Kyle said. "Perhaps I'll put a little red on that pretty white dress?"
"Don't think so, Chump", Morgan said, who had quietly crossed the lawn and let the barrel of his gun silently come to rest against the temple of Kyle's head. Kyle jumped a bit, and the gun in his hand went off. Reid grabbed Kari and got her to the ground. Fran went under the table with Kari. Fran held Kari's hand as they watched Morgan and Reid tackle Kyle to the ground and Rossi picked up his gun. The guys cuffed his hands with Morgan's cuffs and sat him in the chair.
"Not that I'm not happy to see you Son, but how did you…" Rossi said.
"Me and Baby Girl never left. We were talking in the guest room and, well one thing led to another…"
"TMI Son", Rossi said, chuckling.
"I agree", Reid said. "But for once, I am so glad your libido is what it is."
"But I heard the front door", Rossi said.
"That was me", JJ said, coming in through the gate with Penelope. "I left my purse, of all things and when I peeked through the window in the kitchen and saw the people huddled in the corner, I knew something was wrong. So while Mr. "Let me tell you how smart I am" here was talking, I got them out through the back garden door."
"That's why I didn't see you!" Kari said. "Nice work, Agent."
"Thank you", JJ said, hugging Kari and then Fran.
"Are you guys alright?" Penelope asked.
"A little shaken, but OK", Fran said, going into Rossi's arms.
Hotch came through the back gate. "Everybody good?" he said. "The police are here."
JJ shrugged when Rossi looked over at Hotch. "Did you think I wasn't going to call him?"
The officer came in and took Kyle away.
"This isn't over, Agent" Kyle said. "I get what I want Mrs. Reid", Kyle said over his shoulder.
"In you dreams, Scumbag!" Kari said, hugging Spencer close.
"So what happens now?" Fran said.
"Well, he's a three time loser, so…" Rossi said.
"Three time loser?" Fran said.
"That means this is his third offense", Kari said. "He's going away for life. No parole."
"Good", Fran said. "Now, if you all will excuse me, I think I've had enough excitement for one day. Fran kissed Kari's cheek and walked into the house.
"I'll go talk to her", Morgan said.
"No", Rossi said smiling and patting Morgan's back. "I think this one is for me."
