"This here is Special Agent Seeley Booth," One of the agents introduced the BAU team to the Agents that came from Washington D.C. "And his associate, Dr. Lance Sweets."
"Hey." Booth then shook hands with Agent Hotchner.
"Hello," Hotch greeted and introduced the rest of his team. "This is Special Agent Derek Morgan, David Rossi and Emily Prentiss. This here is our communications liaison, J.J. and our own doctor, Dr. Spencer Reid."
"Hello." Both Sweets and Booth greeted the group.
"What brings you both down here in Quantico, Virginia, Agents?" The blonde liaison asked.
"We're just here to investigate if any of you have seen this man?" Booth then took out a picture of their ex-member, Jason Gideon.
"Gideon?" Spencer identified him.
"Yeah, him." Booth interrogated.
"We haven't seen him in over 3 or 4 years now." Morgan said.
"So none of you know where this man is?" Booth questioned the whole B.A.U.
"Well can you tell us what this is about?" Prentiss was a little worried.
"Well our associates from the Jeffersonian Institute have identified what seemed to be part of his umm ulna on our victims." Sweets eased in into the conversation.
"Yeah, his leg bone." Booth put it into smaller words.
"Wait," Rossi paused them for a second. "One of Gideon's body part, was mysteriously with the group of bones that you and your team found in that warehouse?"
"News travels very fast," Booth sat on the edge of a desk. "But yes."
"Oh my god." The women of the group were in shock.
"Is Gideon… dead?" Hotch asked.
"Well my associate, Dr. Temperance Brennan from the Jeffersonian says that the bone may have been pulled out of the 'victim' as he was still alive." Booth answered honestly.
"For someone to do that," Reid almost let a tear up. "Your unsub is extremely meticulous. He's in full control and wants to be in that way."
"He's right Booth," Sweets added. "This man must have had a lot of preparation and is now unfolding his 'masterful' plan."
"I'm going to go on a hunch and say that our case and your case might be connected in some way." Booth said, now standing up right.
"You mean Blood on the Walls case?" J.J. asked.
"Yup," Booth replied. "That one."
"We were thinking the same thing then." Hotch admitted his doubts as well.
"So you don't know where Gideon lives then?" Sweets repeated the earlier question.
"I might know." Reid spoke up.
"You know where Gideon lives kiddo?" Morgan asked his fellow member.
"Well, might like I said." Reid said.
"Well spit it out!" Booth tried to rush Reid.
"He could be living in his old lodge again." Reid suggested.
"I thought he had abandoned that place?" Rossi had a dumbfounded look.
"Well," Reid explained to the group. "Not exactly, every once in a while, he would visit it. My guess he could've visited the place before he was ambushed."
"Woah woah now," Booth paused the conversation. "Let's not just jump to conclusions now."
"Booth," Sweets calmed Booth down. "That's like one of the fewest explanations that could explain how Gideon was forced into this brutal 'play.'
"Well why don't we just go prove that theory out? Shall we?" Booth suggested.
"You should probably take Agent Morgan and Dr. Reid out with you, Agent Booth." Hotch said.
"Fine." Booth said as he walked with Sweets.
Agents Booth and Morgan and their associates, Dr. Reid and Sweets made it out of the B.A.U. building and headed out to their destination. Still in the building, the rest of the B.A.U team headed out to Washington to assist with the other case.
In the car, the 2 agents were in the front while their 2 associates are in the back. Booth was the driver while Derek was shotgun. As usual, Reid read book along the ride while Sweets just sat there in his seat doing nothing but think all the way through the ride. "Ok here we are." Booth slowed the car as he drove by Gideon's lodge like house. The car finally made it to a stop and all them started to get out.
"Seems a bit isolated don't you think?" Sweets said as he got out of the car.
"That's what I thought at first but," Reid explained to Sweets as he also got out of the car, closing his door behind him. "He liked the wilderness and birds."
"Stop the idle talk and let's just finish the case." Booth shut both Sweets and Reid.
"Geez," Derek said as he and Booth neared the front door. "Just be easy on the kiddos."
"Sorry," Booth apologized. "Just want this damn case to be over…" As Booth was about to open the door, the lock was off. "The door is unlocked." He and Derek readied their guns.
"I'll go through the back." Derek said lowly.
"Take Sweets with you." Booth requested the other Agent.
"What? Why?" Derek then looked back and saw that Sweets also had a gun. "Is he certified to have that gun?"
"Yes." Both Booth and Sweets said at the exact same time.
Sweets then took off to the back door with Morgan. "Why did he have to go with Morgan?" Reid questioned Booth.
"Well," Booth readied himself. "I'm an excellent shot."
"What is that supposed to mean?" Reid also carried a gun.
"You're the profiler," Booth commented back. "You ask me."
Both waited there until Morgan and Sweets were all set in the back of the house. Booth and Derek instantly kick the door opened at the exact same time, while both doctors behind them quickly covered their backs. "Clear!" Booth yelled from the living room.
"It's clear over here." Morgan replied, covering the kitchen with Sweets.
They all met up again, all of them putting their guns back into their holsters. "Got anything?" Booth asked Morgan.
"Nada." Morgan scratched his head.
"Guys," Booth and Morgan were both startled by Reid who had gone ahead into Gideon's room. "I think you might want to check over here."
"What's up?' Booth asked the doctor.
"Looks like there was a struggle here." Reid pointed at the bed, which had little amounts of bed.
"Sure looks like it." Morgan agreed with the conclusion.
"Look here." Sweets was scrolling through the cabinet in the bathroom.
"What did you find Sweets?" Boot walked into the bathroom.
"All painkillers, sleeping pills, and other medications are all empty." Sweets concluded upon his search.
"Why are they all gone?" Morgan and Reid soon joined in.
"Our unsub probably took him with them as he did with Gideon." Reid added.
"Question is why?" Booth then got his phone from his pocket and dialed.
"Back up?" Morgan asked Booth.
"Yeah."
