Almost exactly a week had passed and many developments had been made. They had found out that each of the houses was cleaned when the children weren't there. This added to the profile and made it possible for them to figure out that the unsub must work for some kind of cleaning company.
Which led them to go check out multiple maid service buildings.
"Alright, JJ, I would like you Prentiss, and Rossi to go to the one on Fourth Street, while Reid, Morgan and I go to the one on Cherry Street." Hotch told them.
"Can I come?" "Puck" asked, raising his hand.
"Spencer, I don't think-" The leader started.
"Oh come on, the last time I saved my cousin. Plus, you're just going to ask them about the profile, it's not like it's dangerous." The boy wearing fox ears rolled his eyes.
His outfit was a Naruto outfit. Complete with fake fox ears on a headband, Lolita Maid Naruto dress that he had Kunai chopsticks put into the sash of it. A Konoha headband was around his neck loosely, but tight enough that it didn't block the necklace that had the Konoha symbol on it. A bracelet that had little spikes meant to look like Kunais sticking out of it was on his wrist, while white high tops that had Naruto on them were on his feet.
Aaron sighed.
"Alright, you can come with your cousin, but if anything starts happening-"
"I'll retire to the corner." The teen assured, standing up with a smile on his face.
"Alright, let's go." Morgan shrugged, smile on his face.

"He would be obsessed with being clean." Hotch told the head of maid distribution.
"Ya do know that that is what we pay them to do, right?" The woman asked seriously, folding her hands together.
"Yes, but we mean in every way. Even their locker will be clean; there will be no pictures of loved ones, and most likely only a few things even in the locker. They'd probably eat something clean, or over a trashcan."
"That sounds like quite a few people, and I have a meeting across down, I must leave, I apologize." She said, with a small sigh, walking towards the exit.
"Can we look around? We promise to not be long." "Puck" asked, smile on his face.
She looked at him with a sigh, but smiled when she saw his outfit.
"Sure thing, you have half an hour and make sure to go out the back, the door automatically locks itself." She told them before turning on her heel and continuing out the building.
"Why did you ask if we could stay?" Derek asked confused.
"So that we can check the lockers and get a list of people to call in to custody." He said simply.
"How are we even going to get into the lockers?"
The younger Reid held up a ring of keys.
"I promise to put them back in her office as soon as we're done."
"We cannot do this if we don't have permission." Aaron said, crossing his arms.
"Christian and the rest have to grow up without parents… don't act like I'm the bad guy here. If you don't want to have a list, fine by me." The teen rolled his eyes, walking past Hotch to the lockers.
Doctor Reid shrugged at the team leader and quickly followed his cousin.
"The kid has a point Hotch." Morgan shrugged before following the Reid's.
"My team… I cannot keep control of my own team." Hotchner muttered to himself as he followed them.

"Why are you looking through my locker?" A gruff male's voice asked abruptly, startling the male's looking through lockers.
They all turned to look at the male.
"Murder investigation, we're looking through all the lockers." Doctor Reid told him simply.
"Why do you think I did it?" The man continued to ask.
"We think someone that is bordering OCD with cleanliness is killing single parents." Hotch said, trying to calm the angry male.
"You ain't getting me." The odd male growled, pulling a gun out and pointing it at them.
"Puck" quickly moved in front of his cousin, holding his hands up in surrender.
"We ain't lookin' for trouble." He chuckled slightly.
Derek didn't know what the Hell the younger Reid was doing stepping in front of a gun… until he saw the Doctor's phone out, hidden from the Unsub by the flamboyant male's body.
"Well you found it. I'm not gunna let you take me in for getting rid of those bad parents." The unsub glared at them.
"We don't want to." Aaron said quickly.
"Just put the gun down, and we can talk." Derek said, taking a step forward as well.
"Stay where you are!" The unsub shouted, pointing the gun at Derek now.
"Nothing, y'all need to do. Ight?" "Puck" asked, smiling a bit.
"Why are you talking like that?" The unsub asked, pointing the gun at him.
"Jayne Cobb." The teen shrugged, smiling still.
"Well stop… it's weird." The unsub said, furrowing his eyebrows.
"Apologies."
"You aren't leaving here… I'm not getting put away for that… I'm not."
"How do we even know it's you? Huh?" The teen with fox ears chuckled slightly.
"Because I know he wouldn't tell on me."
The four males that were being held there all looked at each other for a second, they hadn't profiled a second unsub. Then they heard sirens coming towards them.
Derek took the moment the unsub looked up at the sound to tackle him to the ground, knocking the gun out of his hand. He quickly put handcuffs on the unsub and yanked him up. Then Morgan led him outside.
"Woo! Go Team BAU!" "Puck" exclaimed, throwing his left arm up in triumph.
Unfortunately, they didn't know that the second unsub was in the building as well. He came forward quickly and shoved the blade of his knife into the youngest Reid's side.
The teen's eyes quickly went wide as his mouth fell open and his hands went to clasp around the wounded area. Aaron quickly put handcuffs on the second unsub and dragged him outside as well. He did however make sure to pull out his phone and call for an ambulance.
"Isn't it supposed to be cold?" The teen genius panted, still holding his side as his blink rate sped up.
"What?" Doctor Reid asked, his breath catching in his throat as his feet were glued to the floor in shock.
"When you get stabbed… aren't you supposed to feel cold? It feels really…war-mm." The youngest Reid tumbled and fell at the end of the sentence.
The doctor quickly rushed forward and grabbed his cousin before he fell, carefully sitting on the ground with his cousin in his arms.
"Don't tell Anderson." The teen said quickly.
"There's nothing to tell… you're gunna be fine." The elder assured, petting "Puck" as he tried not to cry.
"Stop being dumb." The younger rolled his eyes with a small smile.
"I will when you stop." The elder said, smiling even though tears filled the bottom of his eyes.
The bleeding male laughed, and then quickly turned serious.
"You need to listen to me… you and I both know what happens when someone's stabbed in the side."
"Nothing will happen to you."
"Listen to the bleeding man." Young Spencer commanded, panting. "Forgive him. I know I've been the main one on the hating Derek train but… forgive him… and make sure he doesn't leave you… shoot him if you have to, but make him see that you are what he needs in his life… for now and forever." The youngest Reid said, eyes drifting closed and voice getting softer.
"Stop talking like-" The adult said, biting back his tears.
"Don't interrupt. Forgive him, love him, marry him, and adopt many genius babies… for me." The teen's eyes were closed and the last two words were a breath before he stopped, and his body went limp in Reid's arms.
"Spencer, SPENCER!" Doctor Reid shouted, shaking the flamboyant male's body.
The paramedics rushed in and quickly put the boy in a dress on the stretcher. They then carried him out as quickly as they could. The doctor stood up and walked out of the building.
Emily and Prentiss were standing by the ambulance, tears in their eyes. They turned towards the adult genius and began walking towards him as soon as they saw him. Derek got to him first.
"Pretty Boy, are you-" Morgan began.
He was cut off by the unassuming male grabbing the front of his shirt and yanking him into a kiss. Then the genius put his arms around Derek's neck so he couldn't pull away. Everyone around them, including Hotch dropped their jaws at that.
After only a few seconds the elder Reid pulled away.
"We're not done." He said simply, taking his arms away from Derek. "But right now I have to get to the hospital."
With that he began walking to the black SUV.
"I'll come too." Morgan said, smile coming onto his face as he followed.
"I'm driving." The intellect said simply.
"Sure thing. Catch." The male from Chicago took the keys out of his pocket and tossed them to elder Reid, who caught them with surprising ease.
