Morgan returned to pick me up a few minutes later.

''Hey kiddo, you're done here?'' he asked.

''Yeah, he doesn't seem to know anything but he said he'd try to get that list,'' he raised his eyebrow.

''But he said he wouldn't give it without a warrant.''

''Yeah, I know. I talked him into it though.''

''Hmm, how do you even know him?''

''Oh, I met him some time ago, when I was walking home.'' He smiled.

We arrived at the station moments later, where everybody except for Hotch and JJ were waiting for us.

''Did you find anything?'' Rossi asked.

''No, but the owner of the club will try and give us a list of people.''

''Hmm, nothing good for us either, though we already have a list. Garcia is tracking it now.''

''Good, maybe we can go to that other club now?''

''Sure, let's go. Sheriff, will you let Hotch and JJ know where we are, thank you.''

So, a few minutes later, we found ourselves in the car again, driving up to the last club. When I got out of the car, I could immediately smell blood, lots of it. I felt my fangs fighting to be released and my eyes were changing too. I rubbed my eyes in order to conceal it. I followed the others until I heard a faint scream from the alleyway.

''Hey guys, I'm going to check over there.'' I told them before I walked off, running when they no longer saw me. In the alley was Josef, fighting someone. It wasn't much of a fight though, a human against a nearly 500 year old vampire.

''Josef!'' I yelled. He looked up and blinked at me.

''I went to check a lead myself, I would've informed you if I found something, nothing to worry about.''

''Yes, the fact that my team is in there and you're ravaging like a.. a vampire here. If you're so worried about humans finding out, then leave this to me.''

''I know, I just thought this would be faster. And I would've gone away if I heard anyone come here, but I could smell you so I didn't bother. You're much more fun in the club you know, maybe you're just hungry. Here, I know this guy will start talking if you do, he's enough of a coward to.'' He held up the man's wrist.

''I won't do that, I'm working. Besides, I fed yesterday. I need to take you.'' Josef's face turned serious and he let go of the man. The man he'd attacked scrambled up and ran inside through an emergency door.

''You can't do that. You may have fed already, but I've been travelling nonstop this week. I need to feed, and I need it now.''

''Okay, I'll let you go, feed, because next time we'll be there we'll probably have no choice but to bring you in.'' He nodded and ran off, in the opposite direction of me.

''Hey kiddo, where did you go?''

''Out the back. Have anything yet?''

''No, we were waiting for the owner of this place. They told us he'd be right here.'' Rossi informed me.

''Good, so I didn't miss anything.'' I smiled. I was looking around when I saw the guy from the alley approaching us. I kept looking around though, I wanted to know why that smell was here. Nobody here seemed to be a real vampire, we carried a faint smell of death around us, you just didn't notice it if you weren't focusing on it. But the only thing I smelled was blood, alcohol and sweat.

I finally turned around and saw how the guy from the alley was talking to the rest of the team. Shit, I guess Josef had beaten the owner up. He was pointing to me.

''Why don't you ask him? I'm sure he knows plenty about it.''

''We're not asking him, we're asking you. And you're avoiding the question, do you know what happened to these girls? Why were they bitten?''

''How the fuck should I know that? Ask him and his friend, they know a lot more about that stuff than I do.'' Morgan and Prentiss turned to face me while Rossi took out his cuffs.

''Fine, if you don't want to talk here we'll talk at the police station, I'm sure you'll love it.'' with that, we left this place.

When we got back Hotch and JJ were talking to the sheriff. It seemed a bit agitated.

''Hey,'' I said once I got close enough. The others went to the interrogation room.

''Hey Spence,'' came JJ's reply.

''What's going on?''

''Apparently he gave a statement to the media.''

''Aah, yeah that would explain the commotion.'' JJ nodded and turned to the conversation while I walked to the map. The killings made an almost perfect circle.

''Reid, what did you find?'' Hotch asked once he was done talking to the sheriff. I overheard him being sent home.

''I made sure we would be getting a list from the first club, the owner of the last one is in the interrogation room now.''

''Who's interrogating him?''

''I don't know. I walked here when I got back.'' Hotch gestured for me to follow him. Morgan walked in just as we arrived.

''So, what do you know about these killings?'' Morgan asked.

''I told you already, I know nothing more than what I heard. And I also told you to ask your fellow team member and his friend.'' Morgan turned the files towards him.

''No, so you don't know what connection there is between your 'vampire' bar and bodies found dead with puncture wounds in the neck?''

''No I don't. We don't have any real vampires, you should check Fangtastic for that, they've got plenty of vampires.''

''Oh, of course. Well, we went there to, they were a lot more cooperative.''

''No, the owner beat me half to death while your friend was simply watching. You've got the wrong guy.'' Rossi and Hotch both turned to me.

''What is he talking about Reid?'' I sighed. How to talk myself out of this.

''I don't know. The guy's talking about vampires, I'm sure he could come up with more lies.'' They kept their eyes on me though, sensing I was lying. Curse my lying skills.

''Fine, when I got there Josef was beating him up indeed, but I stopped him.''

''Why didn't you arrest him?''

''Because.. he's an old friend. He didn't do anything too bad. I warned him not to do it again though.'' Hotch pushed me into another room, closed the door and turned off the camera.

''Spencer, what has been going on with you? Asking for the morgue while you never go there, and now protecting a suspect. I can't have you do that. Do you know something we don't?'' uhh, yes Hotch, but I can't tell you because it's not just me. Not a good idea.

''I don't know, what do you know?'' The gaze immediately made me regret saying that.

''Listen, I know something happened last year, I let it pass. Does this have something to do with that?''

''Yes.'' At least that was the truth.

''What? I need you to tell me what happened. Or I will get you off this case.'' Telling Hotch the well-kept vampire secret, not a good idea. Getting off this case, worse idea considering I'm the only one who knows about vampires. I sighed.

''Can't you just let it pass again?'' I asked, not expecting a positive answer.

''No, Spencer, I'm worried about you, something happened last year and you still haven't told anybody. You have to tell someone, especially when it starts effecting you.'' I sighed again. I really didn't have much choice, I couldn't afford not being on this case.

''Fine, I'll tell you. But you have to promise not to tell anybody.'' He nodded. ''Fine. Okay, so the thing is, the unsub, he wasn't dead when I found him. Or at least, not completely. He attacked me, I said something, and he totally flipped. He attacked me again, telling me he never wanted this. I shot him, twice, in the chest and in the head. He still came at me. He bit me then, and I lost consciousness after a while. When I came by again, he was sitting against the wall, the wounds I made were healed. I attacked him, I don't even know why, and killed him with my bare hands. It worked and by the time you got there my wounds had healed as well. I wanted to tell you then, but I didn't know what happened and I decided not to eventually. I found out I was a vampire. The one we've got in custody now is right, his club is completely human, though there was a lot of blood there I couldn't place. Josef's club is half vampire, half human. Josef attacked him because he thought one of the people at that club was the unsub. I couldn't bring him in, it would be too dangerous.'' Hotch was silent for a long time after that.

''Why have you hidden that for so long?'' he eventually asked.

''Because.. because when I finally had it figured out I met Josef. He told me I couldn't tell our secret, he was there during the time all humans knew about vampires. It was dangerous then, so vampires made a vow not to make it public knowledge again.''

''But you could've trusted us with it. We would support you, you know that.''

''Yeah, I guess I was just afraid of what you would say.'' another silence.

''Did you ever kill anybody?'' I tensed, I knew that was coming, but I had feared it.

''Yes. When I was a newborn, before Josef found me. The humans in the Fangtastic give their blood willingly, I didn't need to kill anymore.'' Not that I hadn't anymore, but that was no need to know. Hotch looked a bit shocked.

''Why would it be dangerous if you had brought Josef in?''

''Because he hadn't fed. Hungry vampires are a danger. I told him I'd be there to get him in soon though.'' Hotch nodded.

''Okay. You know, that's quite a lot to process.''

''Yeah I know. What do you think how I felt when I was turned?''

''Confused.'' Hotch smiled. ''come on, let's go back.''

Pampampam, the great secret is revealed. Sooner than I planned but this just seemed like a perfect opportunity. And forgive my case details, I'm not perfect x3.

Will they solve the case? Will everyone be safe? Find out later, after I return from Spain from my holiday 3 Malgrat de Mar, here I come.
