It had been a couple of weeks since the team's vacation and everyone seemed to be getting back into the familiar routine of profiling and tracking down killers.
Everyone, that is except for Spencer Reid.
He couldn't help, but notice that Serena seemed nervous and jumpy.
Serena had dark circles under her eyes as if she had not been sleeping, although she kept reassuring her brother that indeed she was sleeping just fine.
But the truth was Serena wasn't sleeping very well at all.
There had not been any frightening phone calls while they had been in Nevada and Serena was hoping whoever had been doing it had decided to stop and leave her alone.
The minute they got off the plane the phone calls began again, but at least she had her phone on vibrate so Spencer had no clue as to what was going on
Unfortunately Serena was now getting hate mail.
Luckily it was her who was home when the mail came and not Spencer.
There was no return address and it was hard to tell where it came from because the post mark was always from different cities surrounding them .
Serena desperately wanted to tell Spencer what was going on, but she didn't want to be a burden to him
She hid the letters in a box under her bed after reading them, figuring maybe someday they would either stop or she would get enough courage to explain to her brother what was going on.
So Serena kept telling Spencer she was fine and he finally quit questioning her, but he didn't stop worrying.
Meanwhile…..
Hailey Hotchner kept asking her husband every day if he had spoken to Reid about taking his position and everyday it was always the same answer
"Reid feels he needs more time to think about it"
Hotch could understand why his wife was pressuring him and the anger he would see in her face when he gave the answer, but it seemed to him that Hailey was almost becoming obsessed with Hotch changing positions
True it would mean a drastic change in his pay and his schedule, but he couldn't force Reid to change his position could he?
He would have much rather have had Rossi or even Morgan switch jobs with him, but why did it have to be Reid?
Hotch figured that the reason must have been from all of the schooling Reid had accomplished and figured that if that is what Strauss wanted then so be it.
Although he noticed that Hailey spent a lot of time on the phone after questioning him about the job change.
Strange though that whenever she got off the phone, Hailey seemed more assured and confidant.
Hailey would smile and kiss her husband after these phone calls, so he decided he wouldn't question her about it.
