Alrighty then, well here's the next chapter! Enjoy.


Work Time

Twenty minutes later we were on the jet, heading towards Beaver Creek, Colorado. We had all just finished talking about what we knew so far. It was just past eight am now. By the time we reached Colorado, it would be close to ten. The plan was to check in, go to the station and start working. This time Garcia was with us. So the rooming was a little more different then normal. Morgan and Garcia would split a room. Prentiss and JJ were splitting the second room. Rossi was sleeping alone, in between Morgan's room and JJ's room. Leaving me and Hotch to share a room. The worst part, was that there were no couple room. Which room we were in, only had one bed. Which I was both excited and very nervous about as well.

"Reid!" Hotch hollered, causing me to jump. "Y-yeah?" I stuttered looking up.

"Did you hear me?" He asked, looking at me with confusion. "I said, you are to stay at the station, or near someone at all times. I do not want you alone. Not until we figure out why the unsub is killing this people." He said, when I didn't answer fast enough.

"Hotch, I'm capable of taking care of myself." I said, looking at the handsome man in front of me.

"I don't care, I don't want to risk it." He stated, turning his attention back to the case.

The rest of the flight was spent, talking and messing around. I made my way to the back of the jet. I sat down on the couch, pulling my knees up to balance my book. I had about ten pages before Morgan came by.

"You know he only cares about you. It's not because he doesn't think you can't handle yourself. Right?" He questioned, sitting down next to me.

"I know, but it just seems like it's the other." I answered looking up from my books. "If he trusted me like he does you, then he wouldn't make such ridiculous commands." I grumbled slightly. I was happy he cared and thought that I need the protection. Just about as much as I was mad about it all.

"Reid he does trust. You know that. We just feel more protective of you. You're the youngest. You're like our little brother. Even Garcia feels the same." He said with a faint smile at the Tech's name.

"But unlike Garcia, I have a gun. I know how to protect myself. How am I suppose to prove myself, if he won't give me the chance?" I asked, looking at the unit chief.

"By, listening." Morgan answered, giving me a smile, before walking away.

When we landed in Colorado, split up into three vehicles. Morgan and Garcia in one, Rossi and the other girls in the other and, me and Hotch in the last. We drove to the station in pure silence. I was going to speak, but didn't get the courage to do so. So instead I settled on staring out my window. Twenty after arriving, we were at the PD. I undid my seatbelt, and climbed out. We all arrived with in seconds of each other. The police department, was r smaller compared to some of the others we have worked at before.

We all walked inside. Hotch introduced us all to the chief. Then the chief lead us to the back room, where we would be working. I immediately got to working on the boards. Setting the maps up, along with the all photos from the case thus far. While I was working the boards, Garcia was setting up her system, with the assistance of Morgan. The others were all working on the profile, and gathering more clues from what we knew so far. Once everything was set up, Hotch, Morgan and Prentiss all went to the dump sites. JJ and Rossi went to talk to the families of the deceased victims. Leaving Me and Garcia to work in the station.

A couple of hours later, both teams returned back to report.

"Well, the dump sites are all deserted. And the bodies were found just dumped." Morgan started off.

"It was like the Unsub, didn't care how they were found." Prentiss added.

"As if, he didn't care what they looked like, or how they were posed. It almost seems like he thought they were garbage." Concluded Morgan.

"The families of Michael and Joshua didn't even know they were gay." Stated JJ. "And Becca's family had no idea she had a sex change. Although they did know she changed her name a bit. To make it more of a guys name."

"Instead of keeping it as Becca, she changed it to Beck. They knew that much, since she started to become a Tom-Boy, in her senior year of High school. But other then that, they had no idea." Added Rossi.

"They didn't even know she was dead." JJ finished, with a sad sigh.

"So if the families didn't know about the preferred sex attraction, then we can assume that the unsub is a friend. Or someone that knew their sexual orientation." Hotch finally spoke up. "I think as of now, we should get something to eat, then come back afterwards." He stated, standing up therefore making it more of an order. Rather than an option.
