Delilah woke up alone. Spencer's lack of presence worrying her.

"Spencer, where are you?." she hollers in panic,

As she turns, she sees Dr Spencer Reid. A towel around his waist.

Awkwardly he turns around towards her "oh s-sorry. I thought you would've been asleep much longer."

"It's okay, sorry for scaring you." Delilah chuckles with bright red cheeks as she attempts to divert her eyes.

After getting dressed, he walks out of his room. "We have a case. You should really sit this one out after last night though. I don't think you going into work right now would do you any good." he states worriedly.

"Honestly doctor, I think I got it all out of my system. I wouldn't worry." she smiles

"It's not just your mental stability i'm worried about Allison. Someone showed up at your door in the middle of the night with a gun and almost killed you. I'm also worried if they start targeting everyone." he explains with no idea of who 'they' are.

"Sit quickly." she says causing Spencer to rush over.

"My father runs this cult and I ran away and now he's mad because I was working undercover for a long time." she explains hastily with as little of detail as possible.

"Well clearly his threat is very real but it seems very personal. After last night, I'm not letting you out of my sight. Also, we need to speed up your gun qualification so you can protect yourself. Until then, you can stay with me. If you want to?" he asks.

"Yeah that sounds good." she says smirking at him slightly.

"Right we need to go before Garcia questions us for being late." Spencer explains as he swings the front door open.

As they arrive, they stay close together. Spencer moving in as if she is fragile and he is going to have to pick up the pieces any second.

As they enter the room, Morgan teases them "Oooo look it's the lovebirds. Wonder why you guys are so late. Now I know."

As Derek winks, Spencer shakes his head with disagreement.

"What's the case?" Delilah asks calmly.

"Well my lovelies, this is not so lovely. Multiple bodies have been found at dumpsites in Texas and some of their bones are missing. Now multiple people have been sent bone necklaces spelling out loved ones names. Loved ones who have recently disappeared and this loop keeps continuing until they find the bodies."

JJ asks surprised " Why weren't we called in earlier?"

"Well they only just made the links between the bones and bodies. The bodies were so unidentifiable that it made it difficult. However, lab results brought back that the bones were definitely taken from these bodies."

"We leave now.We can talk more on the plane." Hotch demands with a serious tone.

Boarding the plane, Spencer observes Delilah's uneasiness.

He whispers lightly "Hey you can go back to mine if you don't want to come. I'll tell the team you're sick."

Delilah replies stressfully "No,no. It's fine honestly. Thank you anyway Doctor."

"These bodies being unidentifiable could be a forensic countermeasure." Rossi explains beginning the theories.

Delilah adds " Yeah. He could possibly live in the neighbourhood and may have links with all the victims and the police uncovering that could lead us right to him."
