Implicated…A cinny-ster fic

A murder investigation.

As always I do not own any part of CBS, ABC, Criminal Minds or the characters of the show. All original characters are of my own imagination and any resemblance to living or deceased persons is purely coincidental. For entertainment purposes only.

And a huge thank you to a special person who fed this monster and inspired this story. Thank you for letting me have the initial idea and run with in my own cinny-ster way!

And big time thanks to all of you, (you know who you are) who help me daily with reading and suggesting helpful ways to improve the stories I attempt to write. With out the reader and the reviews I would never do this, so Thank You from the bottom of my heart!

A Murder Investigation

Chapter 8

Lori parked behind the book store. Getting out of her car she noticed a smell that made her stomach turn. She looked at the green dumpster by the loading dock of the restaurant next to the book store. She was going to complain about it again. They were going to get rats if they didn't already have them, and her skin crawled at the thought of what other kind of critters they could get. She hated bugs and if she ever saw one in the book store she would quit. She opened the truck of her car getting ready to pull a box from there. It was heavy and she bent forward leaning in when a sharp pain shot through her thigh. She looked over her shoulder, and he was there. She knew him, and as the drugs he injected into her took hold she said, "The coffee shop!"

He caught her as she began to sink down. She passed out in his arms. He pushed her into the trunk of her car and took her keys from the lock. Closing the trunk he looked around, no one saw him and he ran to the driver's side sliding in, he started the car. Her purse was on the front seat and it was open, on the top was the wallet. He smiled and drove away.

He didn't have much time and it angered him. She was bound and he pounced on her. She wasn't even awake enough and he was getting furious. He hit her and her eyes opened and fluttered closed again. When he pulled on her jeans her eyes opened. He knew the drugs were wearing off and he wouldn't give her anymore. He wanted this one to see him. "Come on Lori wake up." He slapped her face hard. Her eyes opened wide and she screamed. "Go ahead scream. No one is going to hear you." She looked at him with fear in her eyes. "You know me, hell you just saw me yesterday. You should be careful who you talk to. You never know what they are capable of."

Tears flooded her eyes, she knew if she hadn't been drugged and her hands weren't tied she would be able to fight him off but she couldn't do it now. He had the advantage but still when she seen him go for his zipper on his slacks she tried to kick him. She couldn't hit her mark and she was weak. He pinned her down and then he did it. She closed her eyes and the tears rolled down her face. Why did she trust him? Why?

He was extremely rough with her. He had raped her repeatedly in a short amount of time. She lay on the mattress wondering what he would do next. Her wrists were bleeding from the ropes and her face was swelling from the times he struck her. She had a split lip and she was battered and bruised in other areas of her body. When he turned around she screamed.

He held the vial and syringe; he filled it, laughing when she screamed. He couldn't let this one go. She knew him and he wasn't done yet. He knelt on the mattress. "Was it good for you?" He jammed the needle into her thigh and she screamed, "NO."

He repeated it two more times filling the vial completely each time. He watched as she took her last breath.

After he wiped her car down he wore gloves and drove her body to the book store, parking in the spot she had been in earlier, he duped her body by the green dumpster. Right before he put her down on the ground he tossed the wallet, putting her lifeless body on top of it. He covered her with trash and then simply walked away.

Reid turned on his phone and he tried to call Morgan back, the call went to voice mail because Morgan was talking to Hotch.

"I don't know where he is. Yes I will let you know as soon as I find him."

"Morgan!" Garcia yelled from her office.

He bounded up the stairs two at a time "What is it?"

"His phone is back on and he is at home."

"I'm going to kill him!" Morgan dialed Spencer's number. As soon as Reid answered Morgan shouted, "Where the hell were you? And why did you hang up on me?"

"I wanted to get my wallet back and I needed to change my clothing. I'm sorry but I was being chased by the media."

"Spencer stay put. Do not move I am coming to get you."

Twenty minutes later Morgan was walking through a sea of media all shouting things at him and taking his picture. He kept his eyes forward and marched on until he was at Reid's door. They followed him into the hallway and as Reid opened the door for Morgan, he hid himself behind the solid wood door.

"Agent Reid what do you have to say for yourself?" One of the reporters shouted.

"Detective Morgan is Agent Reid going to make a statement?" Another reporter identified Morgan incorrectly.

Morgan slammed the door shut without replying. Morgan looked at Reid, he looked exhausted and a mess. Everything he had on seemed as if he slept in it. His hair was hanging all over the place and Morgan could see the red scratches and claw marks on his inner arms.

"Get a long sleeve shirt on and grab a bunch of clothing, you can't stay here until this is over."

Reid nodded. He did as Morgan said. And he was ready in minutes.

"When we go out there you just keep walking look forward and do not talk to them no matter what they say."

A letter was slipped under Spencer's door. Morgan looked at him and then bent to retrieve it. He handed it to Spencer.

Reid sunk to the couch and buried his face into his hands, the letter floated to the floor. Morgan picked it up as Spencer silently cried. 30 day notice of eviction was written on the top in large bold print signed by his landlord and stamped with a magistrates seal.

Morgan crumpled the paper up into a ball and pitched it across the room, "Son of a Bitch!"

Morgan led Reid out to his truck and then made sure he got into it without incident. He took him back to his apartment. Morgan felt as if people were watching them everywhere they went and it was starting to grate on his nerves. They hardly talked and got ready for bed early. They had been sleeping for two hours when Morgan's phone rang. He picked it up on the fourth ring.

"Morgan we need you here." Something in Emily's voice made Morgan sit up.

"What's wrong?"

"Someone found Lori Brenner's body behind the book store she works at."

"Who is Lori Brenner?" Morgan was confused.

"Morgan they found Reid's wallet under her body."

"What?" Morgan shouted into the phone. Reid sat up on the couch startled when Morgan yelled.

"Bring him along. They are going to arrest him for murder. And Hotch said only under his terms will he turn in Reid."

"This is a fucking nightmare." Morgan threw his phone and it bounced off the wall and hit the floor hard.
