The team was coming back from interviewing one of the victims family members. They were then going to force Reid to take a break and eat. But, when they got back to the station the officer told them that Reid left with the witness. This was not surprising to them, Hotch did say that Reid should take him back to the scene while they were gone. They decided to set the food down in the room that they setup camp in and wait for him.
They walked in to the room and stopped, something was wrong. The room did not look like Reid had left calmly. Reid had a tendency to clean up what he was working on or put it in a neat stack but the file he was reading when they left was still opened. Morgen went to the bored that had the work on the case on it and stopped.
"Guys, We might have a situation" He said.
There on the bored was a note from Reid 'Eric Steel is the Unsub'.
They all thought the exact same thing at the exact same time. 'Right now Reid was with a killer'.
They reacted quickly but when they got to the crime scene it was to late there was a dead unsub but no Reid. There was his gun next to a large pool of blood but no Reid. Hotch went to look at the gun it was his gun, the gun he gave Reid after the snipper case in Illiois.
"Over here" JJ yelled there was a trail of blood that lead to a river then there was nothing. They could only come to one conclusion Reid, their genius was missing.
