Hotch stood in front of the elevators as the team stood waiting on the doors to open. "Now, all Reid said was that Lila showed up at his apartment upset and needing to have a couple of days out of the spotlight. I have no idea what happened to her or what kind of situation she's in but he did call me to get her a pass to come into the building before she's picked up to go back to her movie star life."
Garcia nodded as she chimed in. "Rumors are that her costar who was her date at the premiere was a little too handsy and she ran out of the theater as soon as she could."
Emily glanced over at her. "I thought her camp released a story that she had a stomach bug and left the movie early because she was sick."
"She was sick alright… of his hands all up her dress!" Garcia heard the elevator ding as she looked at where JJ and Emily were standing. "An insider at the movie theater who helped her leave without being seen said she confessed to her that the guy was a creep and kept trying to put his hands where they didn't need to be. She said that Lila was crying and upset, just wanting to get out of there before …well he took it any farther than he had." The doors opened to reveal Spencer and Lila standing there.
Spencer looked scared at all of them standing there. "We brought donuts for everyone." Lila smiled as she held out the box. "I want to thank you Agent Hotchner for letting Spencer stay home on Friday to take care of me. I was a complete basket case when I got to his apartment. That douche that my manager forced me to go to the premiere with honestly thought I OWED him a roll in the hay. He had his hands all over me even though I told him multiple times NO!"
Garcia shook her head as JJ and Emily's faces both showed how much they hated this man they have never met. JJ put her arm around Lila's shoulders as they walked her into the office. "I'm so glad you had the mind set to get to Spence's as fast as you did. I can't imagine what he would've done to you if you would've stayed until the end of the movie."
Emily followed them towards the coffee pots. "He probably would've forced her to do things she definitely did not want to do and think he did nothing wrong when he left her crying." She grabbed three fresh mugs as Garcia walked over and handed her a coffee mug covered in purple cats. "Why do some men think that NO means MAYBE? I know he probably hasn't learned his lesson but I hope really soon he tries something like that with someone who gives him a quick kick in the pants." Emily mindlessly started fixing all of the girls a cup of coffee as JJ got a donut out of the box. "Lila, do you take cream or sugar?"
Spencer smiled as he shook his head. He glanced over at Morgan who was standing there in awe of how fast the women had become best friends. "So do we need to track down this dude and give him a talk about how to treat women?"
Spencer shook his head. "I don't think there is any help for this guy. He told Lila that he was slumming it by going to the premiere with her and she OWED him a piece. I can't imagine thinking that about another person."
"Not all men were raised by strong women like we were, Pretty Boy."
Spencer shrugged and agreed with Morgan as his phone rang. "Hey Ben! Were you able to find that taxi driver?" Morgan kept watching Spencer smirking at him. "Ok, I want to give him a big bonus for driving her and getting himself back to New York on Thursday. Lila said she paid him everything she had on her that night which she said was close to $1000 but he went out of his way to take care of her at a bad moment. I want him to know how much I appreciate what he did." Spencer nodded as he listened to what Ben said. "Ok then if you can meet up with him, I'll wire you $2000 for him and $1000 for you. I want you to take your wife out for dinner on me and then spend the rest on that beautiful baby girl of yours. Lila has been showing me photos of her all weekend." Spencer hung up the phone before Ben could argue about him sending the extra money.
"How are you doing, kid?" He felt Rossi's fatherly hug which made him feel safe.
"Good now. Thursday night I was just so worried when she called me. I don't normally want to handle things with violence but after hearing what happened and seeing how upset she was, I wanted to kill him."
Rossi smiled at him. "That's my boy!" He motioned for Hotch and Morgan to follow him. "Why don't the four of us go relax in my office until Lila's ride gets here and then we can all talk about the next case as a team. It'll give the girls some time to continue to hate on that guy. Who knows? Maybe Garcia can contact some of her friends on the dark web and make his life a living hell for a while."
"If anyone can do it, Baby Girl can." Morgan said as he laughed.
