Hotch finally regained his composure and went out to find a doctor. Paisley, the nurse he had been talking to earlier, noticed his distress and asked him what was going on.

"My friend-colleague- he's been drugged. I think he's been overdosed." Hotch said, panicked.

"With what?" Paisley asked fearfully. She didn't like this happening at all. Jenny was such a sweet girl. She would never do something like this. No, this government man was lying. The government always lies. Always. Paisley remembered her defiance of 'the man' being decided in a smoke filled room with the pungent scent clinging to her nose as it made her higher than a kite.

No. No, drugs are bad. This FBI agent wouldn't lie about someone being drugged. 'The Man' wasn't that unethical. And they would be finding out if he was lying in seconds. No this was the truth. His friend was in trouble. And it was all because of her friend.

"Dilaudid." Hotch answered, interrupting her thoughts. Drug store heroin. If he was overdosed, they wouldn't have much time. Paisley alerted Lulu to get Dr. Demani as she rushed into the room and saw the frail form of the Eagle Eyed man's colleague with his arm resting in an odd position on his stomach with the crook of the elbow facing up. There were two cuts on his arm from where the needle had penetrated his pale skin, surrounded by older cuts that looked like scars and were eerily similar to the new ones on his vein.

Dr. Demani walked in and assessed the situation as she put two fingers on his neck to check his pulse. Another nurse walked in and passed a frozen and pale Hotch. He couldn't see Reid go through this again. It broke his heart he had gone through it once; as well as the fact that he had had to do it alone. "Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to leave now." Dr. Demani said and a nurse opened the door for Hotch, who nodded mutely and walked out, pulling out his cell phone and calling Garcia.

"Bossman, I am so glad you called I have some shocking news." Came Garcia's excited voice.

"Garcia, listen-" Hotch said, not interested in whatever she had to say.

"No, you listen, Reid's neighbor-"

"Garcia." Hotch said firmly. This silenced the technical analyst and she awaited the rest of his update. "Reid's been drugged."

"What are you talking about? What do you mean drugged?" Garcia's voice was laced with genuine confusion.

"Dilaudid. Jenny was here- at the hospital. I saw her but I didn't know it was her. She was in Reid's room and when she left, I realized who she was but it was too late and I couldn't find her. I talked to a nurse, and she said she was a volunteer. Garcia," Hotch took a deep breath to steady his voice. "Her name is Jenny Strauss. She's related to the former Section Chief."

"Oh my god." Garcia said. "Let me focus on one thing at a time. . . Reid's been drugged. Overdose?"

"Yes." Hotch answered grimly.

"I'll alert the team. . . .Jenny Strauss. Wow. Hotch, you are not going to believe this, but Reid's next door neighbor is named Strauss. Kirk Strauss. I did some digging on him. He is Strauss' nephew and he had two sisters, Jenny and Amy. I should have realized it sooner. That's how Jenny got into Reid's apartment. There's a balcony, but no fire escape. She must have gone through her brother's apartment, climbed over the balcony, and punched a hole in the window or something. And that's why no neighbors called the cops about the noise. The other family was away." Garcia sounded excited and shocked at this new information. "And that's how Jenny knew the team. Her aunt was our boss, of course she would at least know her name. Maybe that's why she tried to kill Reid."

Hotch shook his head. "It doesn't make sense, though. It wasn't Reid's fault. It didn't really have anything to do with Reid. And if she wanted revenge on the team, she had ample opportunities." He could hear keys clacking as Garcia researched Jenny Strauss.

"Okay, so this girl reads off like a saint. She volunteers at hospitals, libraries, shelters, sanitariums, you name it. But she also has a part time job at. . " Garcia chuckled at the coincidence. "The Maryland House."

Hotch suddenly remembered where he had seen Jenny before. She was the girl behind the counter when they had found Reid. She was right there! Hotch fumed at their stupidity. She was right there. "I'll call the team." Garcia said, obviously trying to avoid hearing Hotch's inevitable outburst. Hotch hung up and threw his phone at the ground in anger. She had been underneath their noses the entire time. And that was her best hiding spot.
