As we all sat on the plane, Morgan pulled out a file of the case on his tablet as everyone sat in silence. Reid sat next to Hotch and just started out the window like he was on a different planet. Morgan and the whole team kept glancing at him, knowing there was something wrong, even though they couldn't figure it out. Before anyone could say anything, Garcia's face popped up over the video feed, ready to brief the team further, since Spencer ran out on the last one.
"Okay my superheroes, four year old Leah Arnold went missing from a local park in Washington D.C. about two hours ago. We were called in by the police department because her mom specifically asked for us. Her mother moved her and her child there about 4 and a half years old and resided there ever side from Los Angeles." As she spoke, Spencer's eyes were sealed shut, as if he was trying to ignore everything being said, that was until JJ spoke up.
"Hold on Garcia, her mother is Lila Archer?"
Everyone's eyes widened "From the stalker case we worked a few years back?"
"The one and only people, but she changed her name when she moved so she now goes by Lila Arnold." Garcia explained.
"But she fell off the grid years ago, completely vanished from the Hollywood scene." Morgan said.
"When she couldn't hide she was pregnant anymore..." Emily said, sighing.
"But like I said, she didn't vanish. She moved to Washington where she had the baby and raised it out of the spotlight. Even colored her hair brown so people couldn't tell who she was."
"Well have they considered her father to be a suspect?" Rossi said, putting the idea out there.
"No need." Reid simply said, speaking for the first time since the plane took off. A feeling hit everyone in the stomach and JJ asked Garcia the elephant in the room, or plane.
"Who is her father Garcia?" Rossi asked.
"Hold on, let me check..." Garcia said, typing into the computer, before everyone saw her mouth drop and eyes widen. "Oh my god...no...no way... Guys, this just got personal." she said, before cutting off the connection with the team. Morgan glanced around the plane and everyone was confused except for Hotch and Reid. Reid looked like he was on the brink of breaking down and Hotch kept scanning over the file. Something was wrong with Reid, maybe it was the idea of seeing Lila again..whatever it is, we're going to find out.
