Chapter 13

Derek looked at them surprised. He hadn't expected that response.

"Why do you want to know about Spencer's family?" Hotch asked Derek. This was weird. He hadn't been listening in on the conversation that he had just had with Gideon….had he? He shook his head. He had been in the conference room most of if not the entire time. There was no way that he had overheard them talking. Derek just stood for a moment before shaking himself out of his initial shock at the question.

"I just phoned Spencer to see if he was okay. I thought that maybe he was sick, like Elle and that was why he couldn't read as quickly. He didn't answer the phone for a while and I was about to hang up when he actually picked up the phone and said hello. I apparently, wasn't the only one on the line. Someone that Spencer called his 'father' was on the line as well. I kept quiet and listened to most of the conversation." Derek continued, explaining what had transpired over the phone. Hotch just stared at him.

"Spencer's father?" Hotch asked surprised. Derek nodded. Hotch quickly turned away from Derek and Gideon, wondering if maybe he was just remembering wrong. He didn't think so.

"Where are you going?" he heard Gideon call out from behind him.

"I'm going to pull Reid's file. You're both welcome to come with me if you want." The 2 of them stared momentarily at his back before following him out of the conference room. They had to practically run to keep up with Hotch who was walking a lot quicker then either of them thought that he could walk. It was almost running, but it was still considered walking. When they finally got to his office he opened the door that he had closed and he raced over to his file cabinets. Hotch mumbled quietly as he checked threw the different names finally coming to the one that he was looking for, pulling it out a smiling triumphantly. He threw it down on his desk. Gideon grabbed it and began at the beginning.

"Spencer Reid. 22 years old. He lived in Las Vegas as a kid, actually for most of if not all of his life. He was born in Las Vegas and he lived there until he turned, 13 when he left Las Vegas for university. He moved out here when he started to work for the FBI's BAU and has been with us for the past 3 years. Well, it's coming up on his third year here anyways. His father is unlisted. And his mother still lives in Las Vegas. He has no brother or sisters on record and no other family that we know about." Gideon and Hotch both stared at Derek who was thinking, trying desperately to make a connection between all of this. Spencer himself had said that it was his father; he didn't remember the last time that Spencer had been completely wrong. Which meant one of 2 things. The man that phoned him was either the closest thing that Spencer had as a father or it was actually his father and there was some sort of cover up going on here. It hit as he thought of other possible solutions.

"Hotch? Did Spencer's mother get re-married after he left?" Derek asked, quietly hoping that that was the case, and that this wasn't going to be some long-winded search for the answer. He'd had enough of those lately. He didn't want to try and solve another one. Gideon quickly checked the file. He looked up at Derek.

"If she did it's not on record. It doesn't even have his mother's wedding day in here." Gideon said. It dawned on him. "We need to look on Garcia's computer. She has all the files on there as well as on paper. If it's not in there I don't know what to say."

"Garcia left almost an hour ago now Gideon." Hotch stated, telling him in his own way that that might not be possible. Gideon just nodded his head.

"I know. I kind of know how to use her computers. Plus, how hard can it be to find a record that is on the FBI computer base protected with a password that we all memorized years ago?" Derek smiled and led the way to Garcia's office. The others followed. Derek smiled at the reassuring glow coming off the computer screens.

"She didn't turn them off yet. We're in luck." Derek said smiling at Gideon who passed him and sat down where Garcia usually sat. He started typing. Spencer Reid. ENTER. He looked down through the file. He frowned.

"There's hardly anything here." Gideon said to Hotch and Derek. Hotch frowned before smiling once again.

"Try his mother. Her name is," he reached into the file and looked at the name "Diana Reid." Gideon just nodded as he typed it into the search engine. Soon the results came back.

"Diana Reid. Daughter of William Reid and Lorry Williams. She took a course on 15th century literature in Las Vegas. She got married to…. He's unlisted. But, she was married in September 23. The year's unlisted." All three of them were slowly getting frustrated with the amount of information that wasn't on the search engine. Hotch wished that he had looked just a little bit harder into Spencer's past when he had joined the FBI. "She is the mother of 7, boys it looks like, and she used to teach at the Las Vegas University for some years before she quit. Her husband's first name is Toni and his last name is, unlisted. Now there's a shock. Spencer Reid isn't even on the list of her children." Hotch and Derek's head both shot up like a cork.

"You're joking right?" Hotch asked surprised. Derek frowned. Why wasn't Reid listed as her son if she was his mother? It didn't make any sense. Gideon just shook his head.

"I wish that I was but, according to her database, Spencer Reid is not her son."

"Well, who is then?" Derek asked angrily wondering.

"Let's see. There's a Matthew, a Giovanni, a Napoleon, a Charlie, a Giuseppe, a Carlos and a Spencer." He said the last part breathlessly. Hotch gave him a puzzled look.

"You just said that Spencer isn't her son. And I thought that he had no siblings."

"Well, I guess we thought wrong." Derek muttered furiously. This wasn't making any sense. If Spencer had brothers then why weren't they listed?

"But Spencer Reid isn't on the list." Gideon protested angrily. "And even is he was, it's incorrect. Reid is his mother's last name, it's her maiden name. It shouldn't be his last name as well. The last name Reid isn't even mentioned in association with the children's last names." Derek frowned deeper. He hadn't even thought of that.

"Well then, what is the children's last name? Or is that unlisted as well?"

"According to this, Diana Reid's sons are all Antonelli's." Hotch held his breath. Spencer an Antonelli? How was that possible? That was the biggest crime family in most of North America.

"Who are the Antonelli's?" Derek asked, not quite understanding the look of surprise that passed over both Hotch's and Gideon's faces. They looked at him in surprised astonishment.

"You don't know who the Antonelli's are?" Hotch asked. He had guessed that everyone knew who the Antonelli's were. Especially if they worked in law enforcement. Derek shook his head. Hotch frowned and turned away. "Bring up the king pin of the Antonelli family." Gideon just nodded and more information popped up on the screen. Gideon began to read it out loud.

"Not much is known about him, but here is what we do know. His name is Toni Antonelli. He comes from a long line of criminals, so it's somewhat in their blood. He just finished serving a 15 year prison sentence for an attempted robbery on a bank. The police caught him thanks to an anonymous call sent from somewhere in the richer part of Vegas. He faced a jury and failed to be released. He still claims his innocence to this day. His oldest son Matthew took over for him, though he must have watched his father very closely because we could never directly connect him to his illegal operations making him a well hidden criminal. He enjoyed going through major companies in other countries and creating fake companies to work with. He had 7 sons. His second oldest, Giovanni passed away a year before he was caught. That was the same year that his wife Diana quit the University and suffered a major break down. When he was sent to jail, all of his 6 remaining sons came to see him at least once. Then his youngest son, Spencer suddenly disappeared off the map. No one's quite sure what happened to him, but he disappeared at the same time that Diana Reid left Vegas to go live with her father for a while before returning into the heart of Vegas 3 years later. During the time that she lived with her father, she was living on the outskirts of Vegas. Toni Antonelli promised that he would finish whatever it was that he was doing in the bank that night as soon as he got out of jail. The guards were supposed to keep an extra close eye on him, but it is suspected that he was still able to get exactly what he wanted in the end anyway and he was able to get instructions to his sons. Last time that security saw him he was asking his oldest son about what happened to his youngest son and the oldest apparently explained that he had left with his mother. We haven't seen him or his sons since then. The only reason we know what we know is thanks to security- the same security that had been told to watch the man's every move as soon as he got out of jail. They lost him after he left the prison." Gideon finished with a flourish. Derek just stared straight a head of him.

Derek was in shook. How could this possible be true? And where did there Spencer- Spencer Reid fit into all this mess? He was still just a kid. Hotch was thinking the same thing.

"So, apparently either he gave me the wrong information or…."

"Or my father is actually Toni Antonelli."

Well, well, well. HELLO! ANYBODY OUT THERE! Look, I understand that people have homework or a job because it's the school year, but it's 2:03 on a lovely raining Saturadya afternoon and still practically no one is here. What is with you people!

Just joking.

Hope your all enjoying your weekend. Finally have some time to do some serious writing instead of the supershort chappies that I've been updating lately. Sorry about that. Will try very hard to write longer and with better quality as soon as is possible. Which would be like right now.

How many of you loved the start of the season as much as I do? I taped it so that when I'm not writing more chappies for my minnions, I can watch both parts of 'the Phiser King'. Very excited about the upcoming episode. Can't wait to see it. Hopefully going to keep updating (almost) every day to pass the time.

Well, I'm going back to working on the next chappie for you, my minnions.

Can't wait to see what you all think.

Love Ya.

LOTS!

LUCATONI!
