Garcia sat in the BAU room by herself, typing away on one of the laptops surrounding her. She'd found the records of all but two of the people in the photo album. She'd made copies of the albums photo's so Morgan could show it to Orbus.

The last two were Orbus and Richard Goldebourne. It was like theyd never existed. Which was weird. The only record that Richard had ever existed was his name on his marrige certificate to Tiffany, and on Lyssa's birth records. The rest was in Tiffany's name. And even then the Circus buisness records, her own birth certificate, and her death certificate were all that were there.

"Where are they?" Garcia asked frustratedly.


Morgan sat infront of Reid-Orbus- again, watching him look through the photo album of dead bodies.

He let Orbus look through it. He held the pages in the same awkward style Reid did, only he took longer to look through it.

Orbus had grown pale, and when he saw the photo of himself he'd dry heaved. Morgan had held a trash can nearby, in case Orbus really did throw up. He'd teared up alittle when he saw the Goldebourne's photos, but he'd been stonily quiet the rest of the time.

Finally Orbus closed it, slamming it shut.

"Well?"

"Its everyone who she's killed in the Circus Of Dreams up until two years ago. She ran out of room in this one I'm guessing. There was probably another one somewhere in that tent."

"Does it pertain to the case?"

"As evidence." Orbus said shrugging, "But it wont help you find Reid or Lyssa. Or JJ."

"Now," He picked the album up and handed it to Morgan, "Get this filth out of my sight!"


Hotch sighed, pinning a photo up of Josh Brightman. He'd disapeared in Oklahoma in 1995 and turned up dead in 2001 dressed as a clown in Minnesota.

He looked across the map where a yellow pin tied with a piece of yarn to a picture of a deceased circus preformer. There was alot. Especially in Virginia, where the giant cluster of yellow pins showed where the whole Circus had originally died, where Maleficiis took over.

Garcia got up from her office chair and pinned up Tiffany Goldbourne's information.

"I can't find Richard or Orbus. Why is that?"

"I don't know, just use the picture from the original playbill, like before."

Garcia nodded, walking over to the table to grab the picture.

The picture that had been replaced by one of Reid.

"Why is Reid's here?" Garcia asked.

Hotch turned around, looking at the picture Garcia was holding.

"That's Orbus."

"No! It's Reid!" Garcia said, holding it up higher, closer to the lights.

It was Reid. Smiling up at a camera.


JJ hung in space, half concious, half dreaming. Was she out here, in nothingness? Or was she standing next to Reid, dressed normal and her teeth back in there rightful place, staring at Reid sitting in a room with Mrogan, looking through a book?

"Reid?" She asked, nudging his shoulder, "Where are we?"

"I think, were at the police station."

"And where else? I feel like Im torn between two places."

"Hmm... maybe the other place is... space? That's what it looked like atleast."

Morgan got up and left the room, holding the book. The Reid in there just sat back and waited for the door to close. Then he started wiping his eyes and shaking his head.

"Can we walk around?" JJ asked.

Reid looked around, then opened a door and walked out.

"Yep."

JJ nodded and walked out behind him.

Everything had a blueish light to it. Even the objects glowed faintly.

"Reid?" JJ asked after a few minutes. She pointed to a room with windows in it. Inside were Prentiss and Rossi. They were talking to a man in a tan suit and flipping through files while Prentiss stood there looking at little palm sized figurines.

"What are they doing?" JJ asked.

"Working?" Reid shrugged, "Trying to find us?"

"I hope so. But what if they've moved on? What if they gave up and moved on without us?"

Reid looked at the media liason.

"Do you really believe that would happen?"

"No?"

"Question answered, HEY!" He saw Morgan walk through, well, more like storm through the door. He then walked out and into the parking lot.

"Maybe he was headed back to-Reid come back!" Reid had already taken off in another direction, heading for the door they just came out of. Two police officers had walked in and Reid slipped in behind him.


The two cops entered the interrogation room, unchaining Orbus's feet from the table and standing him up.

They all walked out the door.

But Orbus jumped back, gasping hard! Then he went limp.

The sudden deadweight surprised the two officers who didnt have time to absorb the impact and Orbus was wrenched from their hands! He fell to the floor, cracking his head on the handle of the door. He began flailing around, grabbing at air with his cuffed hands. He gasped hard.

One of the officers yelled something while the other stood there pulling out his phone, heading out the door to a less noisy area.

Prentiss ran in, followed by Rossi. They both stared a little surprised at the choking Orbus as he tried to scream for help.

"Get... Him... OFF!" Orbus managed before choking hard again. He coughed a few times.

Suddenely Prentiss felt something very cold come over her, making her whole body hurt and her teeth chatter.

JJ ran through everyone, litterally ran through! But she hardly noticed as she tackled Reid, trying to pull him off of Orbus.

"NO JJ! I need answers! I want this-"

"Reid no!" JJ screamed!

"-To know what I think of this whole-"

"Reid get off!"

"-ily messed up psyco's mother-"

"REID!"

"-dream!"

JJ finally wrenched him off, both sliding to the floor and hitting a wall.

"That's not how you get answers." JJ huffed into Reid's ear.

"I know. I just wanted to give him a piece of my mind."

Orbus lay there, the back of his head bleeding, and coughing. Breathing hard, but coughing. Dark purple bruises were forming on his face and neck and a trickle of blood flowed heavily from his nose and the corner of his mouth. One eye was turning an ugly black.

Orbus heaved himself up, using Prentiss as support when she rushed over, "How did you get here?" he demanded.

Prentiss stared at him, "I was in the other room, you knew that."

Reid said at the same time, "It isn't any of your- wait what are you doing?" He was talking to Prentiss, "He's not me!"

"I know I'm not you! They know too!"

"You shutup!" Reid screamed, landing another one to Orbus's jaw.

Orbus fell back against the wall, dragging Prentiss with her.

"Sorry Dear Lady," He coughed, wiping his mouth and nose with the back of his hand as Prentiss helped him up, "But Reid's made an unscheduled appearance today."

Prentiss dropped Orbus in surprise, "What?"

"Yeah, you can't see him?" Orbus pointed at Reid, "He's standing in the corner with JJ. I think we might have a chance afterall. They found there way back!"
