Dead Body Number Five
Hotch's P.O.V.
After the video played, I looked around at my team. Morgan was holding a crying Garcia, looking ready to kill someone. Rossi was studying me. JJ was trying to hide her tears and emotions. Emily's face was controlled, though her eyes said she was anything but calm.
"We can't leave now. Reid needs us more then ever." Garcia stated bluntly wiping her face with some tissues that JJ handed her.
"Baby girl, we can't stay here and work though. It's almost two in the morning. We're all tired." Morgan said trying to reason.
"But…"
"Garcia, Morgan's right. We're no good to him, if we can't think." Emily said with a soft smile.
"They're right. We need to get some sleep. Or else we'll be useless. We all want to help Reid. But we can't if we're not focused. And the only way to be focused is to get some rest. We'll be back before you know it." JJ stated hugging Garcia.
"With that, I think it's time to go. Don't you?" Rossi asked placing a supporting hand on my shoulder.
"Yes. We need our rest." I stated looking at my team.
With that stated, we piled into the two vehicles and headed to the Hotel. Once we got out, we went to our rooms with out a word. As I was unlocking my door, I felt some one come up to me.
"You know you don't have to sleep in there alone if you don't want to." Stated Rossi.
"I'm okay, thanks. Go get some rest." I ordered, opening my door.
"You too." He said before walking to his door.
Once I was inside, I closed the door, and quickly got in the shower. Once I was cleaned and dried, I climbed into the bed. Wishing that Reid was there next to me. I feel asleep picturing him laying next to me.
The next morning, I woke up to my phone ringing.
"Time to get going. Unless you want to take a break for the day." Stated Rossi from the other end of the line.
"No I'll be ready in ten." I answered hanging up.
I got up out of bed, and quickly got dressed, and ready. Then I slipped my shoes on, along with my jacket. Then I got the keys to one of the vehicles and went down stairs. When I got down to the lobby, I saw my team all there, ready to go. We again spilt up into the two cars and drove to the station.
When we got into the station the next morning, Officer Pepper was in talking to the others.
"…I understand." He was saying, to the others. "I'm not sure who did this, or…."
"Officer Pepper?" Asked a lady in the back. "Are you sure?" She asked, her face tear stained.
"Mrs. Dallas, I am. I am terrible sorry for you lost." He said, as he walked up to the lady and pulled her into a hug.
I noticed my team exchange some looks before heading to the back room. Rossi clapped me on the back before following afterwards. When Officer Pepper let the lady go, he walked up to me.
"Agent, good to see you." He said holding his hand out.
"You too." I replied shaking his hand. "What's going on?" I asked letting of his hand.
"A few of our men, got a call last night informing them that Chief Dallas body was found, about four this morning." He answered, hanging his head.
"Where?" I asked.
"In the desert again." He replied. "I could take you…"
"Just get me the address." I replied walking away. I walked into the backroom where my team was. "Emily, we've got a body let's go." I stated, without entering the room all the way.
I saw her turn from JJ, and walk towards the door before turning around. I went back up to Office Pepper. He handed me a piece of paper with the address on it. Then we walked out of the building. We drove to the dessert in pure silence. When we arrived, we had to on the desert ground for about ten minutes. When we got the dump site, the ME was already there, along with the Crime Scene people. I turned the car off and climbed out. Followed by Emily.
When we reached the body, we saw the same ME from the last crime scene.
"Dr. Rice, good to you." I stated.
"Agents." He stated in unemotional voice.
"Oh my gosh. Is that…?" Emily asked her question hanging in the air.
"Sadly yes. It's a honest shame too. Chief Dallas was a good man." Dr. Rice answered in the same voice as before.
"Not all that good." Stated one of the officers.
"What do you mean?" I asked looking towards the man.
"He ended up leaving his wife." He answered.
"Only because he changed." Stated another man.
"Changed how?" Asked Emily.
"At first he started to cheat on his wife. With a guy. Shortly after the affair, he left her. Guess he realized he liked guys more. Or something along those lines." Answered the Second officer.
"Of course, no one knew, until his wife saw him at a bar with the said man." The first one said. "Once she saw them together, she met up with him the next day to get some answers about why he divorced her." He finished shaking his head.
"Better to have left her then to stay and lie." The second one stated bluntly.
"So he died because he's gay." Stated Emily.
"Just like the others." I finished.
Reid's P.O.V.
When I woke up, I realized that Chief Dallas was gone. I looked around myself, trying to figure out where he had gone. I thought that maybe he was taken out, to get the same treatment I received yesterday. But then, that didn't click. Simple because I remember Officer Pepper talking to Dr. Rice last night. And how they were working the same shift. Though of course. One of them were to fake being sick to get home. Suddenly realizing that this might be the only time to escape, I started to try untying the ropes.
Some odd minutes later, I heard movement from above. Along with an angry voice. Luckily I hadn't gotten the rope to loosen. Which was also the downer of the situation. I heard some foot steps coming down the stairs that lead to the basement.
"I don't care. Do something anything. Lie for all I care. Just don't let anything slip. Or it will be your head and mine." I heard Officer Pepper stated. "Ah, hello Agent Reid." Time for round two?'
