Five: Breaking Point

Spencer awoke to two things the next morning, something fluffy hitting his face and his wife's laughter. "Wake up Spencer Reid!" she cried and he turned around to see his wife in his shirt, the clothing hitting her alabaster knees and hiding her streak nude body from him. He smiled and sat up, running a hand through his hair before his wife crawled onto the bed and peppered his face with kisses. "Morning," she whispered after they shared a slow kiss.

"Morning," he smiled before touching her face, "I'm not dreaming am I?"

She rolled her green eyes, "Yes Spencer, you're dreaming. All of this is make believe, you're still on your ecstasy high from the sex." Sarcasm was just oozing from her tone and he laughed before pulling her down and ticking her sides. She screamed and tried to shove him away. "Spencer, stop! You know I'm ticklish!"

He loved the sound of her laughter and watched as her cheeks turned from pink to red as she laughed. After five minutes, he stopped and gazed down loving at his wife. He pecked her lips sweetly, "It's a nice morning after feeling isn't it?" he asked.

She giggled and nodded, "It is. Although, nothing tops our occasional angry sex morning after feeling. You know, when you're really mad." she explains, a twinkle in her eye. He blushed, remembering the time he walked into the office sporting a bright red love bite and had to lie his ass off just to get Morgan, Prentiss and JJ off his back. Nine months after that fiasco, Connor was born into the world. Bella busted into laughter and shimmed her way from under him and tosses him his pants. "I'd advice putting on a shirt. I'm going to take a shower."

He hoped Morgan (or anyone but mainly Morgan) didn't see her in his shirt as she walked down the hallway.

Newton's Sports was the first place they started with. Reid and Morgan, along with Prentiss, walked into the small shop and were met with a blonde woman. She smiled warmly at the three, "Can I help you?" she asked.

"Are you the owner of this business?" Morgan asked.

"Co-owner. My husband and I own it. I'm Elise Newton."

"Pleased to meet you. I'm Agent Derek Morgan, this is Agent Prentiss and Dr. Spencer Reid. We're with the FBI."

Elise's brown eyes widened, "Oh my. Sit down."

The three sat down and she went and got them water. "It's all we have at the moment. My husband is outback with our son Mike."

"Can you tell about the recent murdered women? All the reports say that they either bought or glanced around the store," Emily explained. Elise nodded, her expression sad. She sat down and sighed.

"Those girls, they all looked so much like Bella it's heartbreaking. Even their names are close to hers. But they all just glanced, only one, Belle Carson I think, she bought something for her father. He's a military man and retired when she was sixteen she told me."

"Was there anything strange about them?" Reid asked.

"No. Nothing."

"Tell us about Bella," Morgan said. "Why would the killer want to target people who have her name and her appearance?"

"Bella, well she's gained a few enemies. But that was in high school. The girl was dating Edward Cullen and had boys after her. My Mike was one of them," she explained.

"Can you name them?" Emily asked.

"Eric Yorke and Tyler Crowley. Tyler hasn't returned to Forks since he got a job working on action films in California. Eric, he's working on his PhD at Cornell." Elise sighed. "Only Mike still talks to her. They work at the hospital together," her eyes widened and she looked up at them. "Mike didn't do a thing. He's over her. He's married."

"Can we talk to him? Just to be sure?" Reid asked. He was worried for his wife. He just hoped this Mike Newton wasn't the killer. Elise nodded and they watched as she left to get her son. A few moments later, a young man of twenty-six came out. Mike Newton had blonde hair that was to his nape, his baby blue eyes filled with anxiety and he clutched his cell phone in his hand. He was dressed in hospital scrubs as he sat down.

"Mike Newton?" Morgan asked.

"Yes," he clarified.

"How do you know Isabella Swan?" Reid asked.

"Bella? She's an old friend, old crush. I got over her in college. Hell, I'm one of her kid's godfathers," Mike sighed. Emily caught the notice of the wedding ring on his finger and decided to speak.

"You're married?"

"I'm actually settling for a divorce," he clarified. "I don't love Jess anymore. Hell, I don't think I ever did."

"But you loved Bella," Emily countered. "Didn't you?"

"Yes I did."

"Were you ever aggressive towards her?" Emily asked. "Did you ever force yourself on her? Were you jealous that Edward Cullen was dating her? Were you angry that she had a child with someone who wasn't you?"

"No, no. Why would I be angry at her for having a kid when I'm about to be a father!" he shouted and his eyes widened as he realized what he just said. The room went silent for a moment and Morgan grabbed his cell phone. "What are you doing?" he asked.

Morgan went through his phone and went from picture to picture. There were pictures of Bella, Mike, a brunette girl with glasses, an Asian male and another brunette girl. They all looked to be at least seventeen to eighteen years old. Another picture of Mike, Bella and the bespectacled brunette, they were at least twenty-one years old. Mike was staring at the brunette girl with a look of infatuation. Another picture of Bella, Mike, the brunette and Connor. There were rarely any of the other brunette girl. Morgan came to a picture that made him glance up at Mike.

"Who is this woman?" he asked, placing the phone in front of Mike. "Your wife? Is that Jess?"

"No," Mike sighed and a loving smile crossed his lips as he gazed down at the picture of the glass wearing young woman and himself. Mike held her in his arms, their hands intertwined on her small baby bump. He sighed, "That's Angela Weber. An old friend."

"And apparently, she's pregnant. Is it yours?" Emily asked. Mike nodded.

"I didn't kill those girls. If you wanna talk to someone, talk to Edward Cullen or any of his siblings. They all live in Forks." Mike explained. Reid watched him. Emily opened her mouth ask him another question when Reid spoke.

"You can go, Mike. Thank you for your time," he commented and the blonde man thanked him and got up, leaving them. After they left, Prentiss grabbed his hand.

"Why did you let him go?"

"He didn't do it, Emily. He's a father and I can tell you, he wouldn't kill those women because of some high school rejection. He's in love with another woman, and probably plans to propose to her after he divorces his wife. Love does drive a person to do stupid things, but he wouldn't kill if his child was about to come into the world."

Morgan and Prentiss shared a look. Never once had they heard him sound so...normal.

Rossi and Hotch investigated Jasper Hale and his wife Kate. According to them, Bella had no enemies in college. When asked about Edward, Jasper got quiet before saying he was just hopeless when it came to Bella. After that, they got a call from Morgan and Reid, they had interviewed Carlisle, his wife and one of the couple's adopted daughter's, Rosalie. They had all stated the same thing about Bella, no enemies aside from Lauren Mallory, who had been jealous of Bella's appearance in Forks because she "stole" Tyler from her. But Lauren had not been in Forks since high school. She was currently living in Las Vegas.

So that left Edward and Alice. Rosalie's husband was out of the country for a study abroad program in Italy. Reid and Morgan took Edward and Hotch and Rossi took Alice. Prentiss and JJ stayed at the station. Reid and Morgan knocked on the door of Edward's apartment and the bronze haired man opened the door.

"Yes?"

"Mr. Cullen, I'm agent Morgan and this is Dr. Reid. Can we come in?" Morgan asked.

"Of course," he muttered and opened the door. Once the two walked in, they just stared. There were pictures of Bella everywhere, some of them had her and Edward in them, some of them were obvious of her in her high school years and some were from her college years. Turning to the man, Morgan shot him a question.

"Are you obsessed with Isabella Swan?"

"Obsessed? No, Bella is my fiance." Edward stated, a smile on his face. Reid glared at the pictures, pretending his didn't hear that. Morgan shook his head.

"You do know she has a son, right? One that looks nothing like you." the agent pointed out.

"She must have been raped. But I know Bella, she would never have the heart to abort a child."

Reid took a closer look at one picture of Bella. He knew that place, he knew that day. That was the day she took his out for coffee after he helped her with one of her medical exams. That was the first time they confessed to actually having interest in each other.

"Thanks you the coffee." Spencer smiled towards the nineteen year old girl. She laughed and looked at him with her emerald eyes.

"No problem," she commented. She hooked their arms together and he blushed. Off in the distance, he could have sworn he heard a click, like a camera. "It's the least I could for since you've been helping me with my medical degree. Not to mention you were my GED teacher."

He blushed again. "Um, don't you think people will get the wrong impression?" he asked, looking down at their arms. She stopped and he did too as a result. "Bella?"

"You don't like it?" she asked and slipped her arm from his. He mourned the touch of her skin and noticed she was about to cry. She feverishly wiped the tears, "Stupid me. Thinking you might have liked me that way."

He placed a hand on her shoulder, "What way?"

"Like more than a friend," she sighed. He smiled and kissed her forehead. "Spencer?"

"I do like you," he smiled. "As more than a friend."

Ripping the picture from the wall, the twenty-six year old doctor marched up to the two, flashing the picture in his face. "You were keeping tabs on her? You were following her. You've been stalking her since she graduated high school. You claim she's your fiance when it's obvious she doesn't love you romantically."

"Why do you care?" Edward asked.

Reid pressed the image closer to his face. "See the guy she's linking arms with? That's me. And do you what I am to her?" he was seething. He had never felt so possessive, so angry before in his life. Not even when he was using, he never felt this angry.

"Reid," Morgan warned. He pulled the doctor from him, "Calm down, we don't know if this guy is stable."

"Of course he isn't Derek!" Reid yelled. "He thinks Bella is engaged to him. He thinks she was raped!"

"Reid."

"What is she to you? Were you the one who raped her?" Edward demanded. "Did you hurt my Bella?"

Some snapped in Reid. He shoved out of Morgan's grip, grabbing Edward by his collar and slamming him into the wall. "Why would I hurt my wife?" he asked. "And better yet, did you ever get angry at her while you were dating her? Did you ever think she was unfaithful and hurt her? Did you?"

"Reid!" Morgan exclaimed, grabbing the younger male and shoved him away from Edward. "Go clear your head!"

As he walked towards the door, neither noticed Edward grab Morgan's gun until it was too late. A gun shoot echoed through the apartment building.

"Thank you for helping me," Isa smiled towards the brunette female. She smiled back towards him before waiting for her to turn her back. She looked too much like her. Wavy brown hair, hazel/green eyes and a slender frame. Her lips weren't as full as hers had been but damn it, she looked too much like her. She looked too much like the witch that stole her husband from her.

It was all that she-devil's fault her marriage fell through. Taking the knife from her purse, she rushed up to her and slammed the knife into Isa's back. The brunette victim gasped in pain, but her scream never came as a gloved hand flew up to her mouth and and began to sink the knife deeper. After a few seconds, she turned the dying woman over and began to stab her in every spot she had stabbed the others in. Afterward, she carved the words into her arm. You'll pay.

Bella Swan was going pay for causing her husband to file for a divorce.
