Chapter 2:

During the plane ride Rossi noticed Reid staring at Turner. He stood up and walked over to sit with Reid.

"Go talk to her".

"I-I don't know what you're talking about" stammered Reid as he tried to stand up but, Rossi pulled him back down.

"Trust me Reid I know a thing or two about women".

"You've been divorced three times".

"Yes, and that means I've also been married three times".

"Fine, I'll talk to her but, not right now".

"Alright as long as you do it before we leave Rhode Island".

When the plane landed they went to the R.I.P.D.

"Hello I'm Officer Wilkins" announced a large, balding man.

"Hello I'm Agent Hotchner and these are Agent Prentiss, Agent Rossi, Agent Jennifer Jareau, Dr. Spencer Reid, Agent Turner and Agent Epstein" stated Hotch as he pointed to each of them.

"Well, the two victims were very popular in this little town. Madison was Ms. Rhode Island and mayor's daughter. Caitlyn was a strait A student, daughter of our doctor and was attending the best medical school in New York. They were also best friends" explained Wilkins.

"Those don't sound like people someone would want to kill" claimed Prentiss.

"Did they ever have the same boyfriend?" questioned Turner.

"Yes, they had a big fight two years ago because Caitlyn's boyfriend, Nathan Quinn broke up with her for Madison. When they made up Madison broke up with him and he tried to get Caitlyn back but, she turned him down."

"That would give him motive to steal their hearts" replied JJ.

"I'll call Garcia and tell her to look into it" said Hotch, opening his phone. "Good job Turner".

Rowan smiled at the comment, which made Reid smile. His smile quickly faded when he realized that EVERYONE was looking at him. Everyone but Rowan.

Reid's hotel room:

Reid was getting ready to go to sleep when someone knocked on the door. He was secretly hoping that it was Rowan, but when he opened the door he was a little disappointed to see that it was Derek Morgan.

"We need to talk".

"About".

"Reid, don't act dumb, you know what about" Morgan said in a stern voice. Reid said nothing; he just walked to the bed and sat down.

Morgan let out a sigh then said more calmly, "You like Rowan and don't try to deny it because we all saw you looking at her. So, you get your white boy ass in her room and talk to her".

"Talk to her about what?" Reid asked, "If you haven't noticed, when I get around pretty women I tend to ramble and confuse them".

"Talk to her about the case, complement her on her boyfriend theory."

"Yeah, I guess I could do that" Reid noted. There was a small silence then Reid went to the door so he could talk to Rowan. "Reid" he was stopped by Morgan's voice. He turned to face him.

"Yes?"

"If YOU haven't noticed, that nerd talk has worked before". Reid just smiled and they both exited to room.

Rowan's hotel room:

Reid was pacing back and forth outside her room, mumbling pros and cons of going in her room. He must have been too loud because he heard the door open and looked to see Rowan standing there. She was wearing a sweatshirt that said: Turner's Ice Cream and Yogurt shop with black shorts. "God, she looks amazing" thought Reid.

"Can I help you doctor Reid?" questioned Rowan. Her words snapped Reid out of his thoughts.

"H-Hi", Reid felt a lump in his throat get bigger and bigger "Um I just wanted to congratulate you on your theory at the police station".

"Thank you" she replied. Reid could tell she was a little confused as to why he came to her room to tell her that. "Is that all?"

"Yes", he said then walked quickly back to his room, red faced.

"Well?"
"Ahh" Reid turned to face his bed, "Morgan, what are you doing here?"

"I came to see how your conversation went. Obviously, not well since you were only there for five minutes".

"I will talk to her later. Now I'm really tired" he said opening the door.

"Yeah, right. Night read".

Reid crawled into bed but didn't go to sleep. He thought about Rowan. What to say to Rowan. What Rowan looked like. After about two hours he drifted into a deep sleep.
