I've been very neglectful of my journal, or diary or whatever you want to call it. The last four months have been so busy and so boring at the same time, I haven't had the heart to sit down and write. A lot has happened in the last four months. My cousin had her baby, a cute little boy with fuzzy blond hair and blue eyes. His name is James and I got to go to East Allegheny last weekend to see him. He's three months old and so adorable.

My Aunt Gina started in on me again about Spence and if I was ever going to have a baby. I swear she thinks that all I have to do is wink and he'll drop everything for me. I told her that he's been gone for three and a half months, and I couldn't talk him or do anything else if he wasn't there.

Spence took his vacation after the Fisher King case and was only back for a week when Bennington Sanitarium called to say that his mother had been hurt in a scuffle with another patient and she had a broken arm. Hotch let him go back to Vegas, and he ended up staying down there for three months. Garcia said that he was terrified that something else was going to happen to her. I guess it was Gideon that convinced him to come back to work.

When I saw him for the first time after he got back from Las Vegas, his hair was short and combed back from his face. He was wearing horn rimmed glasses that looked like they were throw backs to the sixties. Morgan couldn't resist teasing Reid about those glasses and his haircut the first day he got back. Reid got mad and told him in front of all of us that he had an allergy, and his doctor told him not to wear his contacts for a few weeks. Then he said his mom hated his hair and he cut it for her so that she wouldn't be upset by him when she was injured.

I like the hair, but not the glasses, still it's not his fault if he has to wear them instead of his contacts and Morgan needs to leave him alone about it.

We caught a bad case this week. It was a child pornography ring. The kid was a little boy that the Supervising Agent in the Crimes against Children Unit had named Peter. The Agent's name is Katie Cole and she called us in to find him. His image had come up in a chat room and there was an auction clock counting down to sell him in less than eighteen hours. SSA Cole tried to find him a year ago, but failed. She was one of the very first profilers and she's very intense. I don't blame her, auctioning off a child like that makes me sick.

Elle showed up just after we split up to find the boy. Hotch made her go with Reid to CACU to work with the agents there. Hotch and the rest of the team went with SSA Cole to Cleveland to check out the web company that hosts the chat room.

I wanted to give Peter's picture to the media, but SSA Cole said no to that and she had us tell Reid and Elle to check the live feed for clues. The guys finally made it to the web company. They weren't happy to see them when they served the warrant. Garcia found the guys payment method that had uploaded the image to CACU, and she got his name and address. We also found another web domain and what looked like a kid tied up in some room somewhere. When the guys got there they found out the kid was faking it. His father had gone to prison and he was "selling himself," on the internet. He helped the guys find one of the pedophiles that had bid on Peter. The guy is a principal at an elementary school. Once again I have to ask the question, what is wrong with people?

Unfortunately when Katie tried to talk to the man holding Peter, he realized that she was pretending to be the principal when my friends in the media put the arrest of the school principal all over the television. I'll never forget how I felt when that web site went black. It was a horrible feeling. I got one of my friends to put out a false story that we were looking somewhere else for the guy and he put the website back up.

Garcia and I were able to find out where he lived at one time by the shirt the kid was wearing. It was a wilderness group called Tad Poles and we got the unit number figured out from the partial image on the shirt. Gideon was the one to figure out that Katie had interviewed the man that had Peter last year. I think she blamed herself when the guys finally found Peter. She thought she should have looked harder than she did.

The kid was kidnapped when he was one year old and seeing him reunite with his mom was so great. I can't imagine what she must have gone through. They ought to string the kidnapper up by his balls.

Everyone was relived when it was all over. I hope I never have to watch an auction clock count down on another boy's life again.

Well… I did it I cornered Reid in the break room and asked him out for coffee some evening and he said yes.

Garcia told me that he and Lila went their separate ways. I guess she freaked when she found out his mother was in a mental institution. Too bad for her!
