THE TEAM HAD HAD A CASE LIKE THEY ALWAYS DID, THIS TIME BEING IN LAS VEGAS — REID'S HOMETOWN. The gang had been flying on the jet and debriefing before going down to the station. Reid had fallen asleep and everyone had taken notice due to the muttering in his sleep.
"Reid!" Casey hit his leg with hers since she had been sitting right next to him. Reid had opened his eyes from his slumber and sat up, rubbing his face. "Sorry, I was dreaming." He says.
Emily chuckles, "Ha, no kidding."
"We found a 6-year-old boy who had been abused and stabbed," Reid tells and points over at JJ. "Your baby was at the crime scene. I was trying to get him out of there." Casey furrows her eyebrows and looks over at JJ, who he was talking to.
"Sorry." Reid says at the tension.
"It's okay." JJ shrugs.
"You know, Reid, simple dream analysis... if there's a baby in your dreams, that baby's actually you." Derek tells. "I don't believe in dream analysis." Reid says. "I don't know," Hotch interferes. "It makes sense. The case we're working on and the case in your dream both involve children. Maybe your subconscious is telling you you want to sit this one out."
Reid shakes his head. "I don't."
"Well, maybe you're just stressed out about going home to Las Vegas. Did you tell your mom you're coming?" Emily asks and Reid looks around at his co-workers. "Why aren't we reviewing the case file?"
Casey shrugs, "Oh, I don't know. Maybe because someone fell asleep on the jet?" Reid smirks as he looks down at the file and Casey jokingly rolls her eyes at the boy in front of her.
"All right, let's start from the beginning one more time." Hotch tells and Casey looks back down at the file in front of her and at the picture of the young boy attached to the file. "This is Ethan Hayes. He was five and two weeks ago he was abducted out of his own front yard." JJ informs.
"Where were the parents?" Reid questions. "His mom just ran inside to grab her purse. When she came back, he was gone. She wasn't away for more than a minute or two. Police found his body exactly one week later in the desert. He was in a new change of clothes. His nails were clipped. His hair was combed." Casey furrows her eyebrows. The unsub clearly had a lot of remorse for the boy after what they had done to him.
