Author's Note: Honestly guys, your reviews are what pushes me to write a new chapter, so if you want more please ask! Oh and I feel like I should probably give the Professor a name, because I keep think Professor Xavier from X-Men. :D
Chapter 3
Hotch's P.O.V
JJ, Garcia, Kate, and I sat at the table looking at the case, but none of spoke about it, because Rossi, Morgan, and Reid still weren't back. I was about to call Morgan when the phone rang, it was him.
"Hotch."
"Hotch, get the police over here. There are ten bodies, one missing. Reid is missing."
"What the hell? Bodies?" I caught everyone's attention in the room.
"Yeah and no Professor."
"Stay put. We are on our way." I hung up, grabbing my jacket.
"Hotch, what's going on?"
"This case needs to be put on hold, Morgan and Rossi went to the Professor's house and found ten bodies."
"What about Reid?" Garcia's face went pale. JJ and Kate exchanged worried looks as well.
"Missing. But we will find him Garcia. Go find out this Professor's real name. I don't think Reid ever told us."
"On it." She rushed off towards her lab, while JJ, Kate, and I left the BAU in a mad dash. I called the police along the way, but we got there before them. Morgan and Rossi sat outside on the porch, we rushed up to them.
"Where are the bodies?"
"They are all sitting the living room."
"Still nothing from Reid?"
"No. We searched the house and I tried calling his phone five times now, but it goes straight to voicemail. The professor must have taken him when he ran."
The police arrived at the scene. With multiple body bags. I went inside with Rossi to examine the bodies.
They were each positioned with their eyes open and looking toward the podium at the front. Four were girls and six were male. They all looked like they were pretty young, probably in their twenties. Each of them had different injuries, very different. Like they were murdered by ten different people.
"Hey Hotch, over here." Rossi called. He was over by the chair near the podium. On the chair was a wrinkled photo of Spencer outside the coffee shop near the BAU and the picture was signed by Spencer.
"Reid's handwriting has more strict lines, this signature is more shaky. He was obviously nervous while writing this." Roosi conducted.
"And it isn't in the best condition, it looks like he was trying to grab it in a rush." We walked back outside, when my phone rang. The hopeful part of me was wishing it was Reid, but instead it was Garcia.
"Yeah."
"The Professors name is James Haley currently."
"Currently?"
"James must have just moved here, because it wasn't connected when I put in his address. I was pretty confused when I tried to find his name, because he lived in multiple cities and a new name came with each. I found his name, because that's what he signed on his bills."
"Anything else on this guy?"
"Clean slate. Grew up in the picture perfect family, grew up to be a good guy. All A's. No record, not even a ticket, on any of his names."
"How many names and cities are we talking?"
"I just sent you the list, too much to count."
"Great, thanks Garcia. Keep digging."
"Wait, any news on Spencer?"
"Not yet, but I will let you know whenever we know something." I hung up and explained what I had just learned with the rest of the team. Then a police officer emerged from the house.
"You guys may want to come see this." We all followed him upstairs and into a bedroom, the police officer pulled the dresser away from the wall to reveal something nobody was expecting. A shrine of pictures of Reid. Outside the BAU, the coffee shop, and... God no. Pictures of him in his apartment. I shut my eyes, trying to grasp all that was happening.
"Put out a missing report on Dr. Spencer Reid. We have motive."
"I am going to Reid's apartment." JJ said with a matter of fact tone.
"JJ, take Rossi and be back at the BAU in an hour, so we can go over our new case." I said, and they went off.
"Kate and Morgan, I want you to talke to the neighbors see if anyone recognizes Professor James Haley. Be back here in forty-five minutes and we will ride back to the BAU." They left and I just stared at the many pictures of Spencer. We will catch this guy. We will find Spencer.
