Chapter 12: Messages

Amber sighed as she logged on to her email. She knew she had to finish her essay after or she'd never get it done. She was suprised to see another email from Spencer. Curious, she clicked it open.
It was the same as the last one, but different... It said the exact same thing, but only random letters were capitols. This was definatlly odd. Then she read the P.S. The last line really caught her attention. And never forget capitolization! She thought for a moment. Then it hit her.
The capitols must spell something! Quickly, she hunted down a pen, but couldn't find a tablet of paper, so she settled for her hand. She scanned the email and jotted down every capitol letter.
In the end, she had a fairly understandable message. 'Tell Hotch Romeo and Juliet and GPS. She figured that the GPS was last either becasue he couldn't fit it sooner or he didn't think about it till after the fact. Then there was the question of 'why?' Was he in trouble? Shuddering, she pushed the thought aside and began to type.
Agent Hotchner,
Hello, this is Amber Hunter from Ohio. I recieved a coded message from Dr. Reid. The code said to tell you two things. 1.) Romeo and Juliet. 2.) GPS. He didn't say anything else, so I hope you understand what it means. I sure don't. I hope this helps you, especially if he's in trouble.
All the best,
Amber
It sounded a little formal, but it's the best she could do. When she pressed the 'send' button, she really sent two things; the email and a prayer.

Hotch's phone beeped from his pocket. He sighed and pulled it out, revealing an email. He didn't know the address though. Hotch breifly considered deleting it, but decided against that. He opened it, reading the message quickly. Suddenly, he was glad he didn't delete it.
He ran over to the others. They looked up, alarmed. He tossed the phone on the table and everyone quickly read through the message.
"So, he has access to a computer, but doesn't contact us directly?" Rossi asked as he hand the phone back to it's owner.
"Or couldn't," Emily suggested. "She said it was coded."
"Doesn't matter," Hotch said, "we need to figure out what it means."
"Okay," JJ said, "we already know that Kelsey thinks of them as Romeo and Juliet. Why tell us something he knows we already know?"
"Have none of you ever read it?" Garcia asked from the computer screen.
"Not since high school," Hotch admitted. The others all made noises that said they two haven't read it since they were in school. Garcia rolled her eyes.
"Let me give you a refresher course," she said. "R and J meet and fall in love. Ther can't get caught, but run of and get married. R kills Tybolt, cousin of J, and is banished. The preist comes up with a plan so they can be together and explains it to R in a letter that he never gets. J takes a sleeping potion that gives her the appearance of death and she's burried in her family's tomb. R hears that she is dead and gets poison. He goes to her tomb and drinks the poison 'cause J has yet to wake up. When she finally does, she finds her husband dead on the floor, grabs his dagger and kills herself."
"Garcia, it may have been a while, but we already knew that. What was your point?" Hotch snapped.
"The point is that it all happens in two days."
"That means we have two days to find him," Rossi summarized. Garcia nodded.
"Well, that explains the Romeo and Juliet part," Emily said.
"What about the GPS part?" JJ asked. No one had any clue. Then Deputy Clinton spoke from behind.
"All the SUV's have GPS with a tracking device, you know, in case one gets stolen." All heads snapped in his direction.
"You didn't think to tell us that sooner?" The deputy's mouth opened and closed repeatedly, giving him the appearance of a fish out of water. "Just pull up the tracking data," Hotch sighed. Determined to make up for his blunder, the deputy ran to a computer, happy to oblige.
We're coming, Reid, Hotch thought as the BAU crowded around the deputy at the computer.
