Year 1- First case
When the team and a wide eyed Reid got settled on the jet, they all pulled out the files out again, trying to figure out their next moves, it was Jason Gideon who spoke up and told everyone what they'll be doing. ''Hotch, Elle, JJ and I will go to the crime scene. Reid and Morgan you two go to the police building, and check up on Dee.''
They all nodded, it was along flight, and though it was flight and now being 10:30 they won't be in Red Deer util atleast 9:30 in the evening and so they'd be working for awhile yet, so why not sleep now, and that's just what they all did, sleep.
When the plane finally landed, the team was well rested. ''Alright.'' Gideon looked at his watch. ''We'll meet up at the hotel in another three hours and get rested for tomorrow.'' That being said, him Hotch and Elle got into one of the black SUV and the other three got into the other ones.
''What do we do?'' Reid asked, looking at Morgan's head from the passenger seat. He was still so excited, but he toned down to look professional. ''Do we talk to Miss. Wyatt and ask her questions?''
''Yee.'' Morgan nodded his head, briefly looking at Reid, then back to the road. ''We'll ask her about the star, and the letter, she might not be easy, losing a parent is hard.'' Morgan lost his father when he was just a child, so he knew how it felt to lose a father, feeling oddly so glad he still had his mama.
Reid nodded, he lost his parents to. Not to death, but his father walked out, and to this day Reid never forgave him, nor would he ever, you don't walk out on children, no. And his mother had a mental illness, so she was never there for Reid, much, but when she was and when the two had had their mother/son moments, they all stick out in Reid's mind like they happen yesterday. He missed his mother sometimes, but he knew she was in good hands with her doctors in the hospital, and when he gets a free three-four days to himself, Reid vowed to fly to Vegas and spend time with her, tell her all about the BAU and how much he loves his job.
''Reid.'' Was the word that took Spencer out of his thoughts, and he looked up to see Morgan, standing there in his open door, with a hand on Reid's shoulder with a concerned look on his face. ''You okay, kid? I was trying to get your attention for five minutes now.''
/Wow, I've been out for five minutes?/ Reid thought to himself, shaking his head, getting out of the car. How close he was standing to Morgan, made his breathe catch in his throat, he was close enough that all Reid had to was lean in one inch and then they'd be kissing...
''Let's go then.'' Morgan turned around, he was trying not to think of how close he was with Reid, he liked it, but wasn't ready to admit it to himself, plus this was no time to be thinking like that, they had a case to work on, and a person to protect. That's what Morgan would be only thinking about at this moment.
When the men walked in the office, they were hit with a wave of sadness. It was like anyone who would walk into the police building, even if they had the best day of their life, and said nothing could brig them down, well one foot into this place, they'll feel like they'll die with how much depression is going around. All the cops were sad, they knew they had a job to do, but the lose of their boss was to heavy on their heart, and they all kept glancing in the corner, that's when Morgan and Reid saw her, and both men felt their heart break. When two cops moved out of the way, Dee and her two best friends came into view.
Dee was sitting in a chair, her head was straight again, looking at Reid and Morgan, but she wasn't there, her eyes were blank. her short black hair was messy sticking all over her face. Her cheeks were tear-stained, big red puffy circles were around her eyes. Snot was running down her nose. She was dressed in a big gray baggy sweater and black sweatpants. Her hands were in the hands on her best friends, who were kneeling on either side of her, trying to get through to her, but nothing they said worked, Dee didn't move at all, just sat there.
''You must be from the FBI.'' A voice behind them, made both men turned, they turned to see an older looking man, standing behind them. He too wore the same pity look in his eyes, but he looked so much sadder then the other officers.
''Yes.'' Morgan nodded, holding his hand out to the man. ''I'm Agent Morgan and that's Dr. Reid.'' ''Hello.'' Reid nodded his head as well, both of them shaking hands with the older man,
''I'm Greg Gubler.'' He introduced himself, before shaking hands with Reid and Morgan. ''I used to be captain here, for 25 years before, Mark took over, I had to retire because my wife is sick.'' Grey was only 56, He lost his wife when he was 45 though. ''Mark was a great man, so was his wife Alice, I promised myself, I'll do anything to protect her, she's my goddaughter after all.'' He shook his head. All three men looked at Dee again, before turning away.
''Those two with her- Mallory Gubler and Saffron Kirke. The three of them best friends since they were born.'' He explained. ''Mallory is my daughter and Saffron is the daughter of Dakota.'' He pointed to a blonde hair officer who was sitting at his desk, pretending to write something. ''They haven't left her side, since we got the news.''
''True friends.'' Reid whispered, looking back over at them, he never had much friends growing up, being younger then everyone, but the love those three girls share, you can feel it as strong as the sadness in the room. ''Is Dee okay to answer some question?'' He asked softly.
''I'm not sure.'' Greg, bite his bottom lip. ''You can try, it might be nice for her to talk to someone else, but I don't know how she'll react.''
Morgan and Reid, nodded their heads, turning away and slowly making their way to Dee. ''Dee?'' Morgan said in a soft voice, both men taking out their badges. ''We're from the FBI, I'm Derek and this is my friend Spencer.'' He pointed to Reid. ''Would it be alright if we asked you some question?'' Morgan got on his knees before her.
Dee finally seemed to come to life, looking at him, she took her hands out of Mallory and Saffron's and put them in her lap. ''I already said what I knew.'' She snapped. She was tired of talking about her parents death, she just wanted to go home and sleep. ''I live with Mal and Saffy and I was at school in the morning, in class, and when class ended, my parents and me were going to have lunch, but they never showed up, and when I went to the house, they were de-d-...gone.'' She finished un able to say the word 'dead'
''I get that.'' Morgan said softly, ''But I just need to know if you know anyone who would do this? Or if you know the person who sent the letters?''
''God!'' Dee stood up and pushed pasted Morgan. ''If I knew we wouldn't be fucken sitting here doing nothing, now would we?'' Dee yelled at Morgan, before running out of the building.
Derek sighed and looked up at Reid hopelessly as he stood just frowned after her and shook his head. ''Poor girl.'' He shook his head.
''I'll go talk to her..'' Mallory suggested, getting up and pushing her long hair to one shoulder,but Morgan put a hand to stop her. ''I'll do it.'' She looked like she was going to protest, but Saffron put her hand on Mallory's arm and she backed down nodding her head.
''I'd like to ask you two some questions.'' Reid, said trying to hide the uncertain in his voice looking to Morgan, who nodded head as he left the building. ''Dee?'' He called out softly, into the night, walking around the small square, finding her leaning against a brick wall with no windows.
''I'm sorry.'' She said weakly. ''I didn't mean to snap, you were just doing your job, but it's just so hard.'' the 21 year old, shook her head, looking up at him with tears in her eyes. Morgan frowned and held out his arms to her, and she ran into him, breaking down as soon as his arms circled around her.
''I lost my father when I was nine years old, so I know how you feel.'' Morgan whispered into her hair, rocking her back and forth. ''And I promise you Dee, we will not leave until we find the man who did this, we'll protect you and avenge your parents death.'' He told her, trying to comfort her.
Dee pulled back, not saying anything, just looking at him, as he wiped away a tear from her cheek, and that was when she leaned up and pressed her lips to his. She didn't know what she was doing, but she took comfort from this man, and kissing him was comforting, someone who would be there for her in this tough time.
Reid had come out a few moments earlier, having finished questioning Saffron and Mallory, and Greg told him to go get Morgan and Dee, but as he walked out and saw Dee and Morgan entangled in each other's arms, kissing each other, well the scene made his heart break.
