AN: Hey! I know this chapter is short, but I'll be posting the next one later today. I was going to make them both just one chapter, but then it would be too long. Think of it as a filler chapter I guess. Anyway, I hope you're all enjoying the holiday season and will enjoy this chapter!

Episode 3x15- 3rd Life

Chapter 14

The clock struck six, then seven, then seven thirty, and still no Spencer. I was beginning to get a bit concerned, I mean in his line of work how could you not? I told myself that he was just backed up on paper work or maybe he was in a meeting- if he even went to those. I realized I was being much too paranoid, until my phone rang that is.

"Hey Spenc, what's up?"

"Hey J-Jenna, uhm a case came up in California and I have to leave with the team pronto" Spencer spoke rapidly. Of course a case came up. Of course. "Oh, okay. So what does this mean for me?" The words slowly left my mouth. Spencer hadn't left for a case since before my arrival, so I didn't know what this entailed for me. "We shouldn't be gone for more than a few days, but Garcia stays behind on all of our cases so I'll have her check in on you before she goes home every night. If you need anything or something goes wrong I want you to call Garcia as well." Basically, I was stuck in the apartment alone until a woman who is practically a stranger comes to check on me. Awesome. "Oh- uhm, alright. I hope you catch the guy" The sincerity in my voice was true. I wasn't keen on having my brother flying across the country to catch an assumed psychopath, but it had to be done. "I'll try my best. I'll call you tomorrow night" Spencer's voice didn't sound entirely focused, but I understood why. We said our goodbyes and I was left alone in my mind to worry about the welfare of my only living family member that cared about my wellbeing.
