Hotch was relaying what Reid had just said. He couldn't comprehend it. They were too different, too unlike family. "What did you say?" He whispered. He wanted to make sure that Reid had said what he thought he had said. The words out Reid's mouth didn't make sense. Well they made sense but surely he wasn't talking about Hotch. It was just so unreal, so weird.

"I said that it was you. You are my brother, Hotch." Reid said still looking down. He didn't like talking to his boss about stuff like this. He didn't like talking about his private life to other people. If it was up to him, no-one would have known about his mother and no-one would have known about his drugs struggle. But people found out, like they always do. He worked with a team of profilers. If Hotch and he were up, they would work something out. It probably didn't help that Garcia already knew. She was going to tell them if they didn't tell them first.

"Are you sure?" Hotch asked. The question was not only on his lips but on Reid's too. But the evidence supporting it silenced the question on Reid's side.

"I wouldn't be telling you now if I wasn't completely sure. If you want to see Garcia's still probably got the files open!" Reid said looking back up from the floor. He knew Garcia wouldn't close down the files especially as it proofed that Hotch and Reid were related. By now she probably had made little avatars of Reid and Hotch together. That really wouldn't surprize him.

"We'll talk to her but does anyone else know?" Hotch asked. He didn't want anyone else to know. Not yet, anyway. It was too weird! The youngest member of his team was his brother. No-one could make it up!

"Morgan, he wouldn't let me up to your office that's why I was shouting down there." Reid said embarrassingly. He was still confused and slightly scared. His mind was working overtime trying to figure out if there was anything similar between him and Hotch. His mind didn't focus on his emotions or actions at the moment. His mind just dealt with the questions and thoughts. If anything did happen, he wouldn't be able to control himself. He was mentally unstable. All he knew had cracked into tiny little pieces on the floor. The only piece he could identify was that him and Hotch were brothers somehow.

"Fine!" Hotch said. He trusted Morgan not tell anyone else. He got up then both him and Reid headed down to Garcia office. This was not going to be easy. Especially as Garcia had a habit of telling people stuff they shouldn't know. Garcia was definitely not one to shut up. Hopefully she hadn't told anyone yet.

"Hotch, Reid what are you doing here?" Garcia jumped when saw them both. She pretended she was doing some work whereas in reality she had been making pictures of Reid and Hotch together in Photoshop.

"I've told him Garcia," Reid said seeing the look she gave him. She had given him a scared look. Whenever Hotch was in her office it often meant bad news. Either a case or something happened to a member of the team. Both cases were bad.

"Oh well. What I was going to ask before you stormed off my mini genius was if you wanted to know anything else .If you want me to I can try to find everything else on you know. Sir…" Before Garcia could finish her sentence, Hotch interrupted.

"Have you got a father on my side ,yet?" Hotch asked as he assumed Garcia found out almost everything. But he wasn't 100% sure whether she could find a father. Whether she could find his father. His true father.

Reid wondered whether that was useful. He wouldn't fight Hotch on it. Before this morning he had no idea Hotch had been adopted let alone his brother. He guessed that it was important to him and just nodded along. Then he shouted at Garcia "Go back to my mum's medical records between just before Hotch was born and to when I was born. See if there are any males with her. If you can find that sort of information?"

"How did you even tell it was me?" Hotch asked in a childlike manner as Garcia typed on the key board. He was fascinated by what they had found but wondered how they stumbled across it.

Reid explained what they had found and the adoption papers. The whole story. Garcia had been like Athena (Greek god of wisdom). She knew everything about everybody and she was very wise. But she had a big mouth. He supposed every god had a downside!

"Hang on go back to the adoption papers. Doesn't it usually have the birth parents on as well?" Reid stated. He knew the adoption papers would have birth parents on just in case the child actually wanted to get back in touch with them. In this case the child never knew he was adopted so naturally never got in contact with his birth parents.

Garcia switched back to the adoption papers "Ah here! Son of Diane Reid and unknown father!" she said sighing. She couldn't believe it. First Reid and Hotch were unknown half-brothers and now Hotch doesn't know who his true father is. "No offense but Reid's mum. Sorry I meant your mum was pretty heartless. I mean she didn't even put a birth fathers name on the birth certificate. She never even acknowledged your existence, Sir. How isn't she heartless?" Garcia angrily said. She sounded like someone had offended her personally. 'How could anyone do this?' she wondered. Hotch had gone to a corner of her office. He was so sad, so offended, so upset, so outraged. He wondered how he never knew about this. 'Reid's mum wasn't the only heartless one, my adopted parents were too. They didn't even tell me I was adopted.' Hotch thought to himself. This was definitely going to be tough on Reid and Hotch!

With the others

"What's up with Reid?" JJ asked as she walked out of her office. She had hearing him shout. It just wasn't like Reid to be shouting at Morgan especially in the bull pen. "I don't know JJ. I heard him too. It's weird for him to be like this. I just hope he's not on drugs again!" Prentiss whispered. No-one could know about him and drugs unless they were in the team.

"I don't think he is on drugs. I think he's confused. He spoke to Garcia earlier about what the unsub said last night. Anyway, they found out its true. " Morgan said in replience to both the women's questions. Everyone was in the bullpen now other than Garcia, Reid and Hotch. All of them were facing Garcia's tech room.

"What did the unsub say?" Rossi asked confused. He hadn't been at the scene last night. He had been with JJ at the police station while Hotch, Prentiss, Morgan and Reid had been arresting the unsub.

"He said that his mother had been with someone else other than Reid's father. Apparently he had a half-brother according to the unsub. Anyway the unsub called Reid's mum some horrible things." Prentiss said. Rossi and JJ looked shocked.

"Oh my god. Maybe he's found out he has a brother whose some serial killer or some rapist. That's why he is angry!" JJ said shocked then saw Rossi leave the room and followed him. She couldn't believe Rossi was just leaving the bullpen before anyone found out what was going on.

"He's not a serial killer." Morgan said. He had to say that much he couldn't let anyone think that. Not when he knew part of the truth. He couldn't let half the team believe Reid was related to some sicko. He couldn't do that to his best friend!

"And how do you know that?" Prentiss asked with an attitude. She wanted answers now. Morgan had just made a mistake by revealing he knew something about the identity of Reid's mysterious half-brother. Prentiss would make sure she found out as much as she could from Morgan before she moved onto Garcia. "Come on tell me who he is? Please, Morgan." Prentiss begged. But Morgan shook his head and laughed "You will get nothing out of me!"

With Rossi and JJ

"What's wrong Rossi?" JJ asked as she followed Rossi into his posh office. It was even better than Hotch's office even though it was common for her to go in there.

"It's nothing," Rossi sighed. He didn't want to reveal what he was hiding. He didn't want anyone to know but he knew he would have to tell Hotch soon.

"If you know something about Reid's brother you should say. You don't want all the girls to gossip about it. It would probably ruin Reid's work life if we gossip about him all the time. Just tell me. I promise I won't tell the others." JJ said. She would keep to her word as long as Rossi gave her some information. At least she could be there for Reid if he wanted to meet his half-brother and it all went wrong. She loved Reid like a brother so she felt extra protective over him. He was the youngest!

Rossi turned around on his chair to face her. He paused for a slight movement before whispering "Before Diane was married to William, I slept with her !"

DUN, DUN, DUN! That may not mean that Rossi is Hotch's father. It may. I'm not telling you yet. Yes in evil. Sorry that chapter was my least planned so if bad sorry!
