I don't own Criminal Minds
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That night no one could sleep. Everyone just laid in bed thinking about the day's events. So it was no surprise that everyone had gotten up extra early. They got dressed, ate breakfast, and got into the SUV that Robert had bought for them all to travel in to Virginia.
The ride over to the police station was strained and everyone was on edge. Reid, unlike everyone else, seemed to be relaxed. He was looking out the window thinking about how he was going to get the police chief to go along with him and help him look for whoever might have took the body.
When they got to the police station Reid got out his badge and showed it to the officer at the desk. "I would like to speak to the chief of police."
"One moment," the officer said as he turned around in his seat. "Chris, get the chief."
Soon after that a woman came out and shook Reid's hand. "Hello, I'm Chief Mitchell and you are?" She looked at them all curiously.
"Chief Mitchell, I'm sorry to bother you but I learned just recently that the disappearances of people around here have become rather high. Hikers, tourists, and even the people who have lived here all their lives and know the area better than most, have disappeared." Reid saw something flash in the Chief's eyes. He didn't know what it was, but he saw how her body had tensed up when he had started talking. He took a chance and said what his gut was pointing to. "I don't think these are just natural disappearances, and from what I can tell, you don't either."
Chief Mitchell's eyes looked over at the people that her behind the Reid and pulled him to a corner motioning for the others to stay put. "I don't think that these are natural disappearances, but the mayor won't let me do a proper investigation or call in the FBI without evidence. And I can't—"
"You can't get evidence without investigating." He said finishing her sentence for her. "But Chief Mitchell lives could be at stake here. I would rather find out that I was wrong about everything, than know I could have stopped it before someone else got hurt." Reid didn't know it but he was giving her his puppy dog look.
The Chief closed her eyes and said, "Fine." She opened her eyes and called out four names. "Mick, Chris, Steve, and Ellie you four are coming with me. "Adam," she called to the guy at the desk, "if anyone asks where I'm at there was a disturbance in the woods and I'm going to check it out." She went out the door without looking back.
Once everyone was in Lila's backyard, they decided that everyone would go together to the place where the body had been. Once there everyone would split up but never get out of eye sight or hearing range.
They walked with barely any sound being made by anyone, when Robert who was at the very end of the line yelled, "Hey I found something." They all ran over to where he was at and Reid noticed that his face was white. "Lila, do you collect cars, and just forgot to tell everyone?" He asked in a hopeful, desperate tone.
"No, why?" But Lila got her answer as she and everyone else looked around. They were looking at a clearing that had cars everywhere. There were some cars that were at least ten years old, if not older, and then others that were brand new. Lila took a step closer to one car and almost got sick. "Spencer," she choked out, tears threatening to run down her cheeks, "Spencer."
Reid hurried over to Lila and held her close looking inside the minivan. His eyes grew wide and he understood why she was crying. Inside the vehicle was a little girl who could not have been no more than six or seven, she looked like she had been dead for at least a couple of weeks. Her intestines had been ripped open, but even though the body was obviously mangled he could still tell that the little girl had been molested.
"Um… Chief, I think you have all the evidence you need to call for an investigation. Officer," he looked at Ellie, "Could you...Um… Take pictures of everything and send it to SSA Jennifer Jareau in Quantico."
Reid took out his phone and prayed that he had service out here. He miraculously did, even though he had two bars, he would take what he could get. He hit speed dial, Garcia answered on the first ring. "Hello this is the Goddess of—"
Reid cut her off almost rudely. "Garcia, I need you to trace my cell as fast as you can, when you get the coordinates I need you to get the team out here as fast as they can get here."
"Reid what's wrong?" Garcia was waiting for the computer to tell her where her little boy was.
Reid stared at the little girl again and said, "I think we're in Hell."
