Nope. Didn't give up on this story. I like these two together!
The next day Barry showed up to find Spencer already in their office. "Hey Barry" Spencer calls sounding only vaguely interested. He was going through a thick stack of paper. "Are those the reports from the BAU?" Barry asked as he settled into the chair opposite Spencer.
Spencer nods without looking up. His eyebrows were furrowed and his lips moved as he read the page. Barry grabbed the other report and began reading it. He only used a bit of his speed to keep up with Spencer. They set the reports down at the same time. "Anything?" they both asked. Barry grinned "Maybe… there was blood by the window which was reportedly closed. In order for the window to be closed the kidnapper would have had to stop and pushed the window back down. That isn't all that easy and the kid could have ran, but then again I don't know what kind of window it is. Either the kid was unconscious, knew their kidnapper or they walked out the front door."
Spencer listened with intent to all of Barry's words. He had read the same thing in his report and had made many of the same connections. "The crime scene only did a brief sweep of the house and may have over looked the door. If there wasn't any sign of entry…" "Then the kidnapper has a key or found another way in." Spencer said finishing what Barry was thinking. Barry nodded.
"The same thing was in my report, I don't know why that was never considered… It did say a drop of blood had been found by the window." Barry furrowed his brow "It says the same thing in here… do you think that may have been a distraction?" Spencer bites his lip "Maybe." Barry grabbed the newest report [the one that wasn't from the BAU] and slid his chair over to Spencer.
The report had the exact same M.O. "Do you think there are any other cases like this?" Barry shrugs "We can look." They spent 4 hours going through every case file the station had on kidnapping. It was lunch time and they were almost done, but Barry was really hungry. "There is a café down the road, I'm gonna go grab a bite. Wanna come?" Barry asks Spencer as he puts his coat on.
Spencer sets his folder down. He usually didn't take breaks, but he agreed. He followed Barry out of the station and they walked a block together to the café. "So what should I get?" Spencer asked looking confused at the menu.
"I'll get you something that I usually get. You find us a seat." Spencer nods and walks away. Barry orders two blueberry muffins, 4 mini pizzas, and 2 coffees. It was his usual only doubled. He set the food down [after fixing the coffee the way he knew Spencer liked] and took a bite of his pizza. His only wish was for it to be bigger. Spencer bit into his pizza and was instantly won over. "Well?" Barry asked pausing to see if he had done well. "Pretty perfect" Spencer said with a slight chuckle.
After lunch the two got back to work, but were unlucky. There weren't any cases similar to the other. Oh well it was worth a shot. "Alright what now?" Barry asked feeling already exhausted. "Is there any way we can investigate the house where Alice was kidnapped?" [Alice is the little girl that was kidnapped a year ago… the most resent kidnapping]. Barry thought about it "You want to see the window?" Spencer nods.
While Barry was gone to talk to his boss Spencer went through the files again. Mainly it was just to get an idea on what he should look for. Barry came back "We can go now if you want. I've never gotten anything approved this fast, but apparently the family has moved out and there is nothing stopping us from going to investigate. It's still under our control." Spencer's entire face lights up. He jumps out of his seat "Well come on!" he calls.
