hey all ! i just wanted to know if you'd rather me put it as 'Reid said' instead of 'Spencer said'. cause as i was reading over this chapter, i realized that they hardly ever call each other by their first names. and it's kinda confusing...even tho you know who it is. so lemme know! and please review ! thanks :)
"Wow…" Derek whispered as he hopped out of the SUV, looking up at the large house before them. "How much money did you say her father left her?"
"More then we thought…" Emily called, half chuckling as she tilted her head up looking at the massive two story Victorian house.
"Come on guys…maybe she's a hard worker?" Spencer suggested as they walked up the steps.
"Yeah…maybe." Derek laughed, looking over at Emily who was smiling before he reached up and knocked on the door. "You gunna handle this? Or should I?" He asked, looking back at Emily.
"I got it covered." She nodded, thinking of just what to say to the probably distressed and confused woman.
"Good." Derek nodded, just as the door was opened.
"Can I help you?" A tall man with wavy brown hair asked, as he peered at them from inside the house, leaning on the door.
"Ah yes…" Prentiss looked over at Derek suspiciously. "We're looking for Alexandra Vega…is she here?"
"Who are you?" He demanded angrily, his deep blue eyes turning almost black as he watched them.
"I'm SSA Emily Prentiss, with the FBI." She quickly reached down to her belt and pulled her badge up, showing the young man.
"Who are they?" HE asked, eyeing up Derek and Morgan suspiciously.
"This is SSA Derek Morgan and Dr. Spencer Reid, also with the FBI." Both men quickly reached to their own belts and pulled their badges out, showing them to him.
"Is Alexandra here?" Derek asked, as he placed his badge back onto his belt, stepping forward to Emily's side.
The man chuckled. "Yeah, she's here."
"Well can we speak to her?" Spencer asked, looking at him oddly.
"Ah…one sec…" He turned slowly and looked into the house before turning back. "Yeah it seems to have calmed down, come on in." The man stepped aside and ushered them into the large house, before shutting the door. "Right this way." He whispered, before brushing past them, and hurrying down the hallway.
"Dammit Adam!" A woman screamed suddenly and the sound of class breaking shattered out into the house. "Don't move!"
"Don't yell at me bitch."
"Up yours goof!"
"What the hell is going on?!" Emily demanded, as she and Derek both went for their guns.
"Yeah…guess it hasn't calmed down." The man sighed. "Just…hang on a minute I'll go make sure…"
"CONNOR!" The woman screamed out and another item that was made of class broke. "Your idiot brother won't stop moving!"
"That's because I don't wanna get hit!"
"Well you shouldn't worry about that, it might actually make you good looking!"
"Guys!" The man, Connor, yelled as he made a sharp left turn into a large room off the hallway. "The FBI agents are here…might wanna cool it no?"
"Jesus…just what I need. To be in a house with the feds and you."
"Oh fuck me!" The woman cried out angrily.
"Okay." The other man said happily and then there was a scream.
"Adam!" Connor yelled as Derek and Emily rushed into the room, expecting anything. Or at least that's what they thought before they entered the room.
"Get off of me!" The woman screamed, as she tried to push the man off of her as he hovered over her on the ground.
"You said fuck me! So I am!" The man with wavy black hair, who was sitting on top of the woman called with a laugh.
"Adam stop!" Connor screamed again.
"GET OFF!" The woman screamed, before her fist connected with his face.
"OY!" The man, Adam cried out as he rolled off of her.
"You sick son of a bitch." The woman cried out a she jumped up fast. "I should castrate you for that."
"That's what you always say," Adam smirked, sitting up and holding his nose. "But you still keep letting me back in." His waggled his eyes brows before winking at her.
"You bastard!" She screamed, rushing towards him.
"Excuse me!" Emily cried out into the room and they all stopped.
"Who're they?" Adam asked, looking up at them angrily, his eyes the same dark blue as Connor's.
"The FBI agents. Remember? I just mentioned them about five minutes ago?" Adam didn't seem to remember. Connor laughed, and turned and looked to the woman standing in the middle of the room. "Hit him pretty hard then huh?"
"No more then usual." She snapped, before she turned and faced the FBI agents. She was tall and curvy, with curly raven black hair down to the middle of her back, and the most piecing blue eyes. "Sorry about that." She smiled happily, stepping forward slowly. "And about my attire…" She added, looking down at her skimpy and curve hugging black and blue short shorts and workout top. "Kick boxing." She turned to the floor and pointed at the arm pads. "I was trying to get ride of some of my stress."
"Did it work?" Emily asked.
"Yes." She smiled. "Hitting stupid people really helps."
"I heard that." Adam snarled.
The woman turned and looked at him angrily. "No one's asking you."
"I take it your Alexandra Vega?" Derek asked, stepping forward.
"That'd be me. But you can call me Alex." She smiled, holding out her hand to him. "And you are?"
"I'm SSA Derek Morgan," He smiled, shaking her hand. "And that's SSA Emily Prentiss and Dr. Spencer Reid."
Alexandra looked back behind Derek and her eyes locked with Spencer. "You're a doctor?" She asked, and he nodded. "Cool." She smirked happily, her eyes shinning as she watched the young doctor, catching both Spencer and Derek off guard. "So what can I do for the feds on this lovely day?"
"We were hoping to ask you some questions regarding your case? Would that be alright?" Derek asked.
"Sure no problem." She smirked. "Fire away."
"So, aside from the gifts, have you received anything else? Letters, pictures, cards, other object that would be significant to a relationship?"
"Everything you just mentioned and more."
"Really?" Emily asked, shocked.
"Yup. Started with the teddy bears…but then it was letters and cards and jewelry the pictures. And now…it's the memories."
"I'm sorry." Spencer interjected. "Did you say pictures?"
"Yes." Connor interrupted and everyone looked to him. "She was getting those when she was living with me."
Alex's eyes suddenly went wide and she looked away from Connor fast, her face suddenly going pale.
"Is something wrong?" Emily asked.
"No." Alex shook her head fast. "Everything's fine." She half smiled, looking up at the agents. "Keep going with your questions."
"These pictures…what were they of?" Derek asked in a very soft, soft tone.
"Me mostly. At the park walking the dog, at work with clients, me and Connor…"
"Or you and Adam…." Connor said, his voice filled with anger and hated as he looked down at Alex.
She flinched, and jumped a little, before pulling her arms up and wrapping them tightly around herself as Adam sighed angrily, and turned away from the group.
"Is…everything okay?" Derek asked, looking from a suddenly deathly pale and glossy eyes Alex, to an enraged Connor, then to Adam who just seemed embarrassed.
"Yeah. Everything's fine." Connor snapped. "Right Lex?" He looked back at her, his tone even darker then it had been. Alex simply nodded slowly, almost robotically.
Spencer looked from Connor, then to Alex who looked suddenly terrified. "Hey Alex?" He called softly, and she automatically jolted out of her fear ridden state and looked up at him. "What's your favorite kind of flower?"
"What?" She asked.
"Your favorite kind of flower. What is it?"
"Reid where are you going with this?" Derek asked, looking to the man who was suddenly walking towards Alex.
"I like Lilly's." She answered, suddenly looking nervous as he came closer to her.
"Lilly's. Okay. Do you have…a piece of blank white paper?" He asked, looking around as he slowly pressing each of his fingers to his thumbs.
"Reid…" Emily called from behind him and he turned, to see her holding a small piece of paper in her hands from the small book she had been taking notes in.
"Great, thanks!" He said happily, before turning back to Alex. "Alright, so you said… lily's right?" She nodded. "Alright let's see if I can get this right…." Suddenly, he crumpled up the paper in his hands fast.
"What's he doing?" Alex asked his fellow agents, not able to look away from both Spencer and his hands.
"I think it's a magic trick." Derek chuckled.
"Reid knows magic?" Emily asked, looking to Derek.
"Yup." Derek smirked.
"Alright…here we go." Spencer smiled, before he cupped his hands together, with his right hand on the bottom. "One lily."
Slowly Spencer pulled his left hand away, revealing a very small folded piece of paper, in the shape of a lily.
Alex's eyes lit up and she looked up at Spencer who was smiling. "Wow…" She whispered dreamily, looking at him. "That's awesome."
"It's nothing special, just origami." Spencer explained. "Well, here it's for you." He added, slowly handing it to her.
"Really?" She looked up at him surprised, as she very slowly picked up the small flower. "Thanks." She flashed a smile as she looked over it. "I love it." Alex looked up at Spencer happily.
And all the while this was going on, Derek and Emily couldn't help but notice how irritated and jealous both Adam and Connor seemed to me.

"Well from the sounds of things, it's defiantly not someone that you know…" Derek explained, as he slowly walked along side Alex towards the door, a few hours, and many questions later.
"Does that make the situation worse?" Alex asked, slowly walking towards the door and opening it for them.
"Generally no." Spencer answered. "But in this case, because the unsub seems to know so much about you, it might be different." A worried look appeared over Alex's soft features. "But because he hasn't acted in any other way then to give you gifts, I don't think there's any cause for alarm."
"Alright. I'll take your word for it doc." She smiled up at him. "Thanks for…coming by and everything. I really appreciate it."
"No problem. And if there's ever anything you need, you have out number." Derek smiled at her.
"Yup." She smiled back.
"Well thank you for your time." Emily smiled as Alex opened the door for them. "We'll be in touch."
"Alright." Alex smiled, watching as they walked away, her gaze clearly lingering on Spencer a moment longer then the others. "See yah." She waved. "And thanks for the flower Spencer." She called, and he turned to look at her smiling face. "I bet you do that for all the girls huh?" She added with a small laugh, causing both Emily and Derek to turn around as well.
Spencer smiled up at her from him place at the bottom of the stairs. "Only the special ones." He said rather smoothly, and he was happy to see that it caused her to blush. "Bye." He waved, before turning back around.
"Bye." She whispered, spinning on her heel and headed back to the house.
"Well, well, well…my man." Derek laughed, reaching out and clapping Spencer on the back. "Never thought you had it in you."
"Smooth one Reid. Even made me blush a little." Emily smiled.
"Come on guys, we gotta meet up with the rest of the team." Reid called, stepping towards the SUV. "And…" He turned around fast and faced them. "Don't tell Hotch." Emily and Derek just laughed.
