Reid's POV

Knocking on the Ex Wife's door, we stand on her front step, and wait for an answer. To my surprise, the boy that I had interviewed at the school, answered the door.

"What do you want?" He said, with a attitude.

"Is Juli McMahon here?" I asked, rocking back and forth on my heels.

"What do you want with my mom?" Just as he said that, she came to the door.

"Jason who is it?"

"Oh?" She says, taking a step back.

"How can I help you men?" I flash her my badge. "Where with the FBI, came we ask you a couple of questions?" She shakes her head. "Sure. What about?" "It's about your ex-husband, Mike Higgsworth." She looked over at Jason. "Why don't you go upstairs to your room." She said, as a statement, and not a question. He was reluctant to do so, but he left the room. "I heard what happened to him, and his son. Are you close to finding any answers?" I nod my head.

"We're doing our best Ma'am." That's when Derek spoke up. "Came we come inside please?" "Of course." She said, as she moved back against the door to let us in. "As we took a seat on he couch, Derek continued to speak to her. "So what was your husband like with Jason and Blake?"

She made a face. "Mike was a great dad. He did everything for the kids." "Why do I feel like there is a but there?" Derek said. She shook her head. "It's just that sometimes I got the feeling that he paid more attention to the kids then me." It was my turn to make a face. "How so?" I asked, looking at Derek. She sighed. "Just. He would take then out, and play with them all day.

It didn't matter what is was. As long as they were together, he was happy. And so was I. For a while. Then I couldn't get him to stop going to the kids games, and have a little alone with me, or movie night with just me." I shook my head. "Is that why you broke it off with him?" Derek asked.

She nodded her head. "Yes, and when I found him." She stopped. I shared a look with Derek. "What is it?" I asked. Hopping that she wasn't going to say what I thought it was that she was about to say. She shook her head. "Nothing. Nevermind. I think you should go now." She stood.

We followed her to the door. "If you have anymore things that you want to tell us." Derek said, handing her his card. "Please call us." "Alright." We left. Back at the station, we sat at our desk in silence. Neither of us had talked about what had happened in the car since it had happened. But that didn't stop either of us from steeling glances from one another, now and again.

Of course we put a stop to that when Hotch walked into the room. "What did you find out?" He asked us.

"Well." Derek said, getting up.

"The ex is definitely hiding something. Something big." I said, finishing his sentence.

"Like what?" He said, looking between the two of us.

"Something that's big enough to want to divorce him, and keep it a secret." He nodded his head. "Find out what it is. Check his house again. Then report back to me."

"Got it." I said, as we headed back to the parking lot. Opening up the passenger side door, I was forced back against rear door. Before I could fathom what was happening, I felt his lips on mine. As soon as I realized that I was being kissed, it didn't take long to figure out who's lips they belonged to. After a few minutes, he pulled away. "I just couldn't go another second without doing that." I laughed. "I'm glad." I said, as I got in the car. He closed the door behind me, and made his way to the driver's seat. Then we drove off to Higgsworth's house.
