Reid stepped out of the cab first, standing in wait, holding the door open as she got out beside him in front of her apartment. He shut the door behind her as they walked up the steps to her porch. When they reached the top her turned to her in the total cliche he'd see in all the sappy city romances JJ and Garcia always recommended.

"I had a really great time tonight."

"Me, too. I'll admit, when I went I wasn't expecting to. Good thing I met you."

She smiled down to her feet, but he could still see her cheeks redden slightly. After shifting her weight back and forth between legs, she smiled, biting down on her lip. She looked as if she was about to run or something. Instead, she stepped forward towards him, taking his face between her hands. Their lips met and a chill of electricity shot up his back. He quickly pulled her waist closer, sliding his lips along hers. Soon, she pulled away, but still had her arms wrapped around his neck. She had a cute smile on her face, almost like she were partly embarrassed, but also partly wanted more. He figured it was his time to say something.

"So I'll call you, sometime."

"Sounds good."

She released her hold on his neck, allowing him time to turn and begin walking away before she stopped him.

"Wait! I don't have your number."

"Yes, you do. It's behind your beret."

He watched in the corner of his eye as she reached behind her ear and pulled out his business card, looking at the cell number written on the back, along with a little note from one Spencer Reid.

It'll be magical to see you again ;)


"Good morning, Spence," JJ said greeting the youngest member of the team who was walking through the doors of the BAU. "How'd it go last night?"

"Fine. I dropped her off, and gave her my number," he said trying to hold back the prideful smirk that hid just below his lips.

"Look at you, baby boy! All grown up," Morgan said coming up behind him, patting him in the shoulder. He noticed he also had a case file in his opposite hand.

"What's the case?"

"Oh, yeah. Its a pretty bad one. Hotch wants everyone in the conference room for the briefing."

They all walked in, sitting at down at the round table, and giving their attention to JJ who was standing before them.

"Okay, guys. Looks like we've got a serial killer in our own backyard. In the last two weeks, five women have shown up dead in Memorial Park. The first victim, Chloe Tanner, was left in the walkway of the WWII Memorial," she said as the image popped up on the screen. "The second was behind Lincoln, the third was left a little off the trail of the Reflection pond, and the fourth and fifth were found randomly placed around the park."

"It'd be very hard to dump a body in such a well traveled area. Even in the middle of the night, there are a couple dozen people hanging around. How were they able to dump five women in populated places without being noticed," Rossi said with a look of bewilderment pasted across his face.

"The cops have no clue. That's why this is now officially a BAU investigation."

"They wait till five bodies pile up on federal land before calling in the FBI?" Rossi once again chimed in very confused.

"Actually, the FBI was called in on the first, but weren't sure if we would have been a use up until now. They weren't sure it was a serial killer. You know how politicians are. They don't want something like this in their hometown. Doesn't look good around election times. They were hoping it was a random spree that would stop. When the fifth victim, Amelia Garrison, showed up, they couldn't deny it any longer."

"Okay, well it sounds like we are headed for Memorial Park," said Morgan, standing up along with the others walking out the door.
