Chapter eight: Tea Time and Missing

Spencer sat up in bed and ran his hand up and down Madison's soft pale freckled arm as she slept. The past few days had been horrible.

The case was at a practical dead end they couldn't find any real connections between the victims. The fact that they went too school with Madison and had all once been friends was about the only thing that really connected them. They were starting too question those closest too the victims now.

He sighed staring down at his girlfriend. This had all been so hard on her losing her friends even though she hadn't seen them in a while it still hurt and he guessed the fact that her ex was dead might hurt a little too even if she didn't love him anymore.

The fact that she had been accused hurt too even though he hadn't told her that her name had come up. Spencer of course had not been the one too accuse her it was JJ who had brought her name up, but Spencer and Penelope both had defended her saying she would never hurt anyone it just wasn't possible for her to have done anything.

After all Madison had been with Spencer all this time when would she have done anything?. Not too mention Madison freaked out about killing anything she wouldn't even go buy mousetraps when they had a mouse problem in her apartment because she said it was cruel.

Needless to say Madison wasn't a suspect anymore especially considering they'd found another body yesterday morning a former teacher at Madison's catholic school. Spencer didn't plan on telling her she was once a suspect he knew that would upset her for obvious reasons.

Things had been tense around Garcia too say the least Spencer knew she'd only come too punish he and Madison after all there was no real need for Garcia too come along.

She wouldn't even look at Spencer and Madison had tried calling her too talk too her but she'd been promptly hung up on. They both decided that she needed a while to cool off before they really tried too talk to her.

Spencer was taken out of his daze when he felt Madison's warm hand caress the back of his neck. He looked down at her surprised too see her wide awake.

She spoke up with worried eyes "Spencer are you okay"?

He looked down at her seeing her face clearly now since the daylight was starting to come in through the lace curtains of her room. "Yeah why wouldn't I be okay"?

"You just look sort of bummed". She stated shrugging slightly

He sighed laying his hand on her cheek before speaking up "I'm so sorry".

She frowned "Spence what are you sorry about"?

He sighed once again "The whole vacation has been ruined by my job. I mean right now we should be at home in my apartment in our own bed not here at your parents place dealing with all this".

She rolled her eyes "Thats nothing to be sorry about. It's not it's your fault that a case came up and we were already at my parents house".

He nodded knowing she had a point. He sighed leaning over and kissing her lips gently surprised that she made the kiss much deeper.

He ran his hands through her hair not breaking the kiss and not surprisingly ending up rolling over on top of her, but the kiss was broken when the bedroom door opened and a slightly shocked and amused looking Morgan stuck his head in. "Sorry too interrupt, but everyones already up and downstairs".

Spencer rolled his eyes feeling the blush spread across his face as the door shut. He looked down at Madison sighing "I'm sorry".

She smiled running her hand through his hair "It's okay". She kissed his lips softly before speaking up "You better go downstairs before Morgan gets a chance too share what he just saw with anyone else".

He sighed realizing that she had a good point before he got out of bed and got dressed as quickly as he possibly could even though he knew that as soon as he got downstairs Morgan would start in with the jokes.

He kissed Madison's forehead before heading downstairs.

Madison laid back in bed sighing knowing that she probably wouldn't see him again until tonight. A small part of her was scared that she'd never get used too him working so much, but who was she too say how much he could and couldn't work. He had his job long before they'd ever met, and she could never make him quit. He loved the BAU too much and she loved seeing him happy and would never want to do anything to change that.

At least she wouldn't have too sit around all alone today since she had already made plans too go see an old friend.

She finally got out of bed before taking a quick shower and getting dressed before putting on her makeup and jewelry. She sighed heading downstairs not surprised to see that the only one there was her mother who was reading a book not paying any attention too her daughter.

She grabbed her purse before she left the house making her way too her friend's house.

At least Cassidy didn't live too far away so it wasn't a big deal that she had too walk. She had too see Cassidy today mainly because she still felt guilty for leaving the way she had.

Cassidy and her had been best friends all through out high school they had been like sisters.

Things had just gotten sour as Madison had gotten older though. She just couldn't handle the way she was living anymore. Greg hadn't given a damn about her after all they fought more and more each day. She'd done her fair amount of drinking and partying staying out all night and living in crappy studio apartments. After a while the whole lifestyle she was living just seemed so childish. She wanted so much more in her life like marriage and a family. She couldn't get it if she stayed in Florida forever so she'd left without saying good bye to anyone except for her parents. She didn't regret it though after all if she'd never left than she would have never met Spencer.

She sighed as she reached Cassidy's house before she reached up and rang the doorbell only too have it answered by a tired looking Cassidy who raised her eyebrows "Madison"?

Madison bit her bottom lip sighing "Yeah can I come in"?

She nodded letting her in and leading her to the living room.

Madison sighed taking a seat on the sofa. She had always secretly hated Cassidy's house it was old and full of creepy looking antiques.

Cassidy spoke up frowning "You look uh different".

Madison raised her eyebrows looking up at Cassidy who still hadn't changed a bit. She still had wild brown hair and bright manic looking green eyes with a pale unbelievably thin body and a noticeable piercing on her nose.

She sighed "I don't look that different". She knew the truth though She had changed quite a bit since she had left. She had gained weight making her look more healthy and her hair was more shiny and healthy looking. She didn't wear as much makeup as she used too and she was wearing a nice short sleeved gray blouse and a nice black pair of pants something the old her would have never worn.

Not to mention the noticeable new necklace she was wearing. It was just a silver chain with an very small diamond hanging from it. It was a gift from Spencer at first she had refused it saying that it was too much, but he'd finally convinced her that he wanted her too have it. It seemed to make him happy that she wore it.

Cassidy sighed "So how have you been"?

Madison shrugged "I've been really good actually. I'm happy. I live in DC now so I'm closer too my sister. I've got a new boyfriend. His names Spencer I sent a letter and a picture of us I don't know if you got it. You should meet him he's really nice. We've been together for a while now and I think he might be the one".

Cassidy raised her eyebrows "Thats nice". She bit her bottom lip sighing "Would you like some tea"?

Madison smiled grateful that Cassidy didn't seem to be too angry with her. "Yeah thanks".

Cassidy left for a few minutes before coming back with a tea set sighing "I already put sugar in yours since I know thats how you like it".

Madison nodded taking her tea and taking a few sips from it noticing it tasted strange but she didn't want too say anything since Cassidy seemed to be forgiving her for everything.

Madison sighed "So what are you up too"?

Cassidy sighed shrugging "Oh I've just been keeping myself busy lately nothing too interesting".

Madison nodded taking another sip of tea frowning at the slight dizzy feeling she was starting too feel.

She felt her vision go blurry before she spoke up "I'm feeling a little weird. I think I need some air". She stood up feeling her knees start too buckle below her. She looked around the room for someone to help her but saw that the room was empty. She felt her eyes grow heavy before she promptly fainted hitting the floor below her.

Spencer sighed and looked up at the clock in Madison's bedroom. It was starting to get dark out now and Madison still hadn't come home. He knew she'd gone too see a friend some girl named Cassidy, but there was no real reason for her too be gone this long after all it was almost eight pm now.

He knew she wasn't angry with him so she just wouldn't have just left. He started too feel panicky before he quickly got up and left the bedroom going straight too the guest room that Madison's mother had given Gideon.

He knocked several times only too have Gideon answer the door raising his eyebrows "Reid is there something wrong"?

Spencer spoke up barely able to choke it out "Gideon she's gone I think Madison's missing".
