Back at the police station, Reid was pacing back and forth trying to figure if he should call Olivia. Morgan noticed as he was walking in the room.
"You okay Reid?" Morgan asked, which in the process startled Reid. He looked at Morgans direction.
"Yeah, why do you ask?" Reid asked.
"Well, you've been pacing back and forth for awhile. You sure you're okay?" Morgan asked again.
"Okay as I'll ever be," Reid said reassuring Morgan that he was fine.
"Okay," Morgan said turning around, about to walk out the door, but it hit him why Reid was acting like this.
"Reid," Morgan said.
"Yes," Reid answered.
Morgan turned around to face Reid. Reid looked at Morgan as well. "Just call the girl already," Morgan said.
"I rather not, if I do I don't want her to assume I'm anxious or desperate or-,"
"You're calling her to ask her for an interview like Hotch said we have to do with all the family or friends that were associated with the victims," Morgan explained.
"Oh, yeah, of course. I'll set that up right now actually," Reid said while pulling out his phone.
He stared at it for awhile. Morgan stared at Reid. "Aren't you going to call?" Morgan asked.
Reid looked at Morgan's puzzled face and then looked back down at his phone. "Yeah, I will, don't worry," Reid assured Morgan.
"Alright, I already set up an interview with Zack's mom, David's sister and Kelly's brother," Morgan explained.
"Am I interviewing them or are you?" Reid asked.
"For a smart person, you're pretty dumb Reid," Morgan said and then went up to Reid, reaching for Reid's phone.
"Wha-what are you doing?" Reid asked trying to hold his phone away from Morgan.
"Reid, let go!"
"I should be saying that to you, Morgan!"
"Just give me the phone!"
"Why? Give me a valid reason why you need my phone,"
"I need to call Hotch, so he can know what time he can interview Ryan's dad and Alex's ex-fiancée," Morgan explained.
Reid leaned up a bit. "He's already interviewing her?" Reid said kind of disappointed.
Morgan had the perfect moment to take Reid's' phone away from him. "Wa-wait," Reid said, but by then Morgan already dialled Olivia's' number.
"Hey Olivia, call back this number because Dr. Spencer Reid would like to set up an interview with you, thanks for your time," Morgan said and then hung up.
Reid stood up. "Answering machine?" He asked.
"Yeah, you have an interview with her," Morgan said.
He tossed Reid's' phone at him and then left. Just then, Reid's' phone vibrated. He checked the caller ID and Olivia popped up. He froze for a second, but then looked up to see if Morgan was still there. He wasn't. Reid looked back at his phone and answered it on its last ring.
"Hello?" Reid said.
"Hi Spencer, I got a voice mail about how you wanted an interview with me," Olivia said.
"Yeah, I was wondering what time would be appropriate to you know, drop by," Reid said. He was breathing heavy. This had never happened to him before and it felt odd to him.
"How about Monday afternoon? Sounds good?" She asked.
"Sounds brilliant," Reid said with a smile.
"It's a date then," he said. It was quiet for a second when he took in what he had said. "I didn't me-"
"It's fine, it is a date," Olivia said while cutting Reid off.
"I'm still sorry, with your fiancé and all."
"It's perfectly fine, don't worry sweetheart," Olivia said.
Reid smiled from the other side of the phone. "See you tomorrow then," he said.
"I guess you will, bye Spencer."
"Bye Olivia." They both hung up at the same time. Reid went to go find Morgan after.
"He's so nice and I'm nothing compared to that," Olivia said when she looked in the mirror that night.
"I can't be with him," she said to herself, but then she heard a horn honk. She opened her door and saw a 1987 Monte Carlo SS in her drive-way. She locked the door behind her and went into the car.
"You're early," she said.
"I wouldn't be late for someone so pretty," the guy in the drivers seat said while leaning in for a kiss.
"How about we continue this while swimming," Olivia said leaning back from the kiss.
"Anything for you babe and I also brought the drinks you asked for, vodka and sherry," he said.
"Great, lets go,"
"27 year old, Marvin Parson, was found here in a local pool," Hotch said. Him and Emily were at the crime scene in the morning.
"He has the same X sign on his chest as the rest," Emily pointed out.
"Probably intoxicated like them as well," Hotch looked down at the pool.
"Why would Marvin possibly be doing at a pool at 10 when this place closes at 9?" Hotch asked.
"I have no idea, but Marvin probably trusted the unsub enough to go for a swim with them, the unsub didn't just throw him in here on purpose," Emily said.
"You're right, carrying a dead body over a fence is hard."
"This place also doesn't have cameras."
"Perfect spot for our unsub to kill Marvin."
Hotch pondered for a second."All the rest of the murders were near by, so why did the unsub decide to come all the way out here near the Las Vegas boarder?" Hotch asked.
Emily thought for a bit. "Maybe the unsub lives in Las Vegas."
"But how if most of these people are from Barstow, California?" Emily shrugged.
"The unsub is probably trying to confuse us," Emily said.
"You're probably right, Prentiss," Hotch said and then walked away from the pool.
Back at the police station, Reid was getting ready to go to Olivia's house. When he was packing his stuff, Morgan passed by the room and saw him. Morgan stopped at the doorway and analysed Reid's movements. He seemed panicked and stressed.
"Reid, I'm going to ask you this again today. Are you okay?" Morgan asked.
"Yes, I'm fine! I'm just down right peachy, thanks for the concern!" Reid said in an kind of irritated tone.
Morgan looked at Reid funny. He was wondering what could be stressing him out so much, but then he looked at the time. It was nearly twelve. "Oh, you're about to see your boo in a couple of minutes," Morgan said jokingly.
"Don't say that! She just lost her future husband and I can't make that feeling go away in two days Morgan!" Reid explained.
"Okay,okay, no need to raise your voice doctor," Morgan said putting his hands in front of his chest. "Don't want you to attack me now," he said.
Reid sighed. "I'm sorry Morgan, it's just that, I don't actually know," Reid said looking at Morgan.
Morgan lowered his hands and was shocked. "The smart ass Dr. Spencer Reid doesn't know what to say about his emotions?" Morgan said pretending to be surprised.
"Shut up Morgan, they're not emotions, but more stimulant of the brain saying-" Reid started, but was cut off by Morgan.
"Well, do you look at the time? Almost time for me to go interview some family members. See you later Reid," Morgan said and then left the room.
Reid sighed and went back to packing.
Olivia was in a pool in her backyard. Laying on her back in the water made her feel light and nothing to the world around her. She thought about what had happened last night.
"Do you want vodka or sherry first?" She had asked Marvin. "How about both?" He said smiling. "Strong drinker I see," Olivia said while pouring vodka and sherry into a wine glass. "Yeah, got to stay strong for the night ahead," Marvin said with a wink. Olivia looked at him in a scornful way. "All on your mind is sex?" She asked. "Oh yeah, after a nice swim we'll hit it off back at my place," he said and then kissed her. "Lets get in the pool," she said strictly, "Alright," he said and then guzzled down the wine glass full of vodka and sherry.
In her backyard, Olivia was still floating in her pool, but imagined Marvin's blood around her when she pulled him under the water and cut his chest with the X shape. She remembered how she covered his mouth to prevent him from screaming even though they were underwater. She didn't want to take any chances. She let herself fall into the water and prayed that she would drown in her pool.
When she was inside her house, she heard the doorbell ring. She wrapped her towel around her and went to go open the front door. When she opened it, she saw it was Spencer. He blushed a bit. "Umm, didn't mean to interrupt your shower," he said.
Olivia looked down and back up to Spencer again. "Oh no, you didn't, I was just swimming," she said with a warm smiling.
Reid felt welcomed already. "Care to come in?" She asked. Reid nodded and stepped inside.
"I'll just go change and I'll be back down soon, make yourself comfortable," Olivia said and then ran upstairs.
"Time to get comfortable," Reid said to himself and then found himself walking to the living room. When he was in the living room, he observed it. Big couch, self made paintings, awards, a t.v., a coffee table and family photos. Reid passed by a photo of a lady holding a baby in her arms, a lady, a man and a toddler in a family photo and a girl about the age of six.
"Fascinated enough, doctor?" Olivia asked while walking into the living room.
Reid looked up from the picture and stared at Olivia for awhile and then looked at the photo again. "Is this you and your birth parents?" He asked.
Olivia nodded and pointed to the picture of her alone. "This picture was taken just before they died," she said.
Reid eased up from the picture and looked at Olivia. "I'm-"
"It's okay, don't worry about it," she said while cutting off Reid.
"How about we start the interview?" She insisted. Reid nodded.
Olivia smiled. "Take a seat then," she said.
