Abandoned
Chapter 6
Morgan flipped open his cell phone and punched in a familiar speed dial
"Good day my chocolate God how may the Goddess of all things techy and awesome be of service?" Morgan heard Garcia smirk over the line.
"I need you to do a back-round check on Robert Sheeren and Barcel Lavel" Hotch added in
"On it my sweets!, Garcia out"
"Do you think he was being honest?" Reid asked
"He genuinely seemed to not know about the murder" Elle said
"Seemed" Gideon repeated
"We'll know when Garcia calls back" Hotch said and with that, Morgans' phone rang and he put it on speaker
"Who's the best TA in the world?"
"Depends on what you've got for us" Gideon said
"WELL, Digging into dear Robert was Über easy, simple life, born 1976 went to Georgia public high school got a job at a local bakery happily married yada yada yada until 2009 when their marriage ended in a not so happy way when he found her cheating …"
"With Barcel Lavel" JJ finished.
"Yes and I'd feel sorry for him if he hadn't been cheating too, full custody went to his wife as he was unemployed and she wasn't and the court always favours the woman" Garcia finished
"Well that's a motive" Morgan
"I don't know" Reid bit his lip "If his family were the original targets and he was just working up to it we'd see more signs of him unravelling"
"But the time between kills is shortening" Elle pointed out.
"But his style of kill isn't changing" Gideon pointed out.
"Yea…" Whatever point Reid was going to make was cut off by the sight in front of him as they re-entered the police station.
"Sweety I'm getting some bad vibes from you" I say with mock sternness
"Please don't ignore me" I say in a way that –for lack of a better word- sounded whiny.
…She's still ignoring me I realize with a pout
"Start Talking!" I yell in frustration then calm down and stroke her hair "Sorry" I whisper
Spencer Reid gaped openly as William Reid rocked back and forth on his feet nervously.
"Erm… hi?" William waved
"What are you doing in Georgia?" Spencer asked with a confused crease in his brow.
"Who is he?" Gideon asked
"Reid's dad" Morgan supplied
"Biologically" Spencer felt the need to add quickly and the team didn't need to be profilers to see the hurt in both of the Reids' eyes.
"In any occasion what is that you need here?" Hotch asked
"I just wanted to see Spencer and…"
"Well you've seen me, you can leave now" Spencer interrupted and the team stared at Reid in shock, he never snapped at people or cut them off, they'd never even seen him get angry.
"Spencer I know you don't want to talk to me" William said, advancing towards the group "But you have to understand why I left"
"I know why you left!" Spencer bit back "You left because you couldn't handle looking after my Mother because she's schizophrenic and thought a 10 year old could"
Elle and JJ shared worried looks at this and William bit his lip at how bluntly Spencer put it.
"Reid if you want to take some time off the case that's fine" Hotch said
"No I don't need any time off" Spencer said and Hotch nodded and the team left to the room set up for them with Garcia complaining over the phone that she couldn't see what was happening.
Morgan stayed behind and levelled a glare at William.
"Listen, I get that you want to reconnect with your son but if you're gonna hurt him again then you're gonna have to go through us"
William smiled rather than being intimidated " I'm glad he finally has some friends"
Morgan creased his brow and William simply waved and walked away "I'm not giving up!" He shouted back "Make sure you tell him that"
Morgan was unsure of what to do so he just nodded curtly and walked to the room where he could see through the glass door that everyone was listening intently to Garcia and spit-balling ideas.
Williams words echoed in his mind
I'm glad he finally has some friends
"Hmm… well at least he was right about one thing" He muttered to himself and smiled fondly as their resident genius gestured wildly to prove some point that was muted by the glass.
He definitely has friend he can rely on
