We were still trying to figure out everything when Morgan broke the silence.
"Reid is that how you two met?"
"No. That was all wrong."
"Why would she tell you the wrong thing? She has a eidetic memory like you." Jj stated.
Before anyone else could say anything the phone on the table began to ring making Richard pick it up and place it on speaker."Chief Lenard."
"Oh hello my lovely agents! How have you been?"
"We've been working. Is River still safe?" Hotch asked
"Oh she hasn't been hurt at all."
"Can we speak to her again?" Penelope spoke making us all hope we could.
"I don't know. You guys wouldn't give me the information I wanted last time."
"Let us talk to River and then we will give you the information that we were able to find." Rossi told
"Cross your heart and hope to fly?"
"Stick a needle in my eye." I told.
"I really like you Spencer. I'm actually glad I didn't kill you."
"That's because you only kill people who are mean to River." Emily told
"Not when I'm bored as hell. Like the lady in the alley way next to where Spencer and River live. She didn't know River at all and it was blood rushing!"
"Then why would you think about killing me?"
"Well my ex girlfriend wanted to kill you to hurt River but I told her no. Because you had done nothing wrong to her. I mean....I've thought about killing each and one of you a few times but your good to my lil sis so I don't."
"Can we please speak to River again?"
"Oh I don't know Spencer. Can I really trust you guys? I mean you whole job is to lie when absolutely needed."
"River is important to me. To us. I wouldn't lie since I know you can hurt her. I mean it is your fault for the scar on her shoulder."
"She told you?"
"No. But it was easy to work out when you put together the fact you held her as a hostage and probably went to kill your own father which she stopped. You will do anything to protect River, because she is your baby sister and you love her. You wouldn't dare hurt her unless you really had to."
"Smart kid. Talk to your man Mouse."
"Hey Spence. How you holding up?"
"I miss you. We all do."
"I miss you guys as well. But you know, at least you have the code we both shared. No one will ever break that. The numbers are important for they hold the true secrets."
"River your not making any sense."
"I'm just quoting you dear."
"You two are so sweet. Welp, that's enough. So where's dad?"
"Either 6ft under ground or cremated." I told
"This is not a funny joke. Dad wouldn't have easily died."
"He was shot."
"He wouldn't have allowed himself to get shot. You know if you guys won't give me the answers I need. I guess till next time agents." He told before hanging up."She's not making sense." Morgan told.
'There's something there. I just need to think.'
"Could she possibly be getting stock home syndrome?" Jj questioned.
'The call.'
"Penelope pull up the phone call she sent you again." I told.
"Have you worked something out?" Hotch asked
"I need to hear it again."
"Got it." She told.
"Take it to the end where she's telling us to tell her boy band."
"Ok. Hope you have something boy wonder.""Tell my boy band that I miss them and love them so much. And for them to rock and roll and kick some music ass. J, I need you to tell Zack I'm sorry that I couldn't keep the promise like I had hoped."
"Ok stop there." I told making her click it so it was paused.
"What about that?" Emily asked
"Jj, have you ever met Zack before?"
"We only talked once on a call since she was busy doing something so he picked up the phone for her. But it was a brief conversation."
"Then why would she tell you to call him?"
"I wouldn't know."
"Have any of you met him?" I asked as I turned to her family.
"Mum and Dad met him the most." Lucy told
"We only met him a few times, here and there." Kenny added.
"Exactly. She wanted us to work something out by that."
"She could have made a mistake." Morgan told
"River doesn't make mistakes. Think back to when she was a hostage in the bank."
"She was a hostage in a bank?!" Her family exclaimed.
"She managed to get out with not much injury." Hotch told
"She used Morse code to communicate with us back then. She said, 'Numbers are important for they hold the true secrets.' She's telling us something."
"What numbers though?" Jj asked.
"The ones in the video." Lucy told
"Doesn't she have a number code with Grace and Dave?" Kenny asked.
"We need to call them."
"On it." Richard told before pressing a few numbers on the phone.
