Counting Stars (A Spencer Reid Story) (Completed)

Chapter Seven

*Lilly's P.O.V*

I walked onto the plane to see everyone but Spencer and Morgan on the plane. I sat next to the window. Soon I heard Spencer and Morgan talking. As they got on I saw Hotch giving them a small smile. As soon as they sat down we headed off. Spencer sat next to me. Which is when Morgan smiled at us. I got up and went to make some coffee.

"OK so let's go over the information we have right now," Hotch says.

"So Mrs. I-Can-Be-Smarter-Then-You thinks that they are kneeling because they have sinned?" Morgan asked with a tease. I rolled my eyes.

"Yes. I also looked at the pictures more closely. We know that the unsub is going after something with light brown hair and blue eyes, like me, but he is also taking something valuable to the victims. I also noticed that our victims were not married, nor had a boyfriend or girlfriend. So I am not thinking this is about cheating, but something else," I say. I poured the hot water into my cup and put some cream and sugar in it. I stir the coffee and came back sitting next to Spencer. "Plus Morgan I am not trying to rub it in that I am smarter, I just went to a different college than you. Which helped me till I was sixteen."

"You graduate college at the age of sixteen?" Garcia asked on the computer screen. I nod.

"I graduated high school at the age of eleven. That is how I met your friend, Derek," I say. I took a sip of coffee, with them all looking at me. "Continue..."

"Man she is as smart at Spencer," Garcia says. I smile.

"I also saw that the number of stabbed wounds was the same as their age number. They were all shot about two to three times and the throat cut, well I myself am trying to figure that out," I say getting back onto the topic.

"Animal slaughter," Reid says. I looked at him. "Usually when a person wants to kill an animal they would cut the throat, leg, and arm."

"But the unsub didn't cut the leg nor the arm," Rossi says.

"He's waiting," I say.

"For what?" J.J asked me.

"The right time," I say.

"OK, Rossi, J.J you go to the last crime scene and find as much as you can, Morgan and I will go visit the families and find out as much as we can from them. Reid, Armstrong I need you to do the profile," Hotch says. We all nod. Soon as we get that done I took another sip of coffee.

Morgan was looking from Spencer to me. Wondering something. I could tell. I shook it off and looked out the window. Soon I plugged into my headphones and press shuffle on my music. The first song that came on was Troublemaker By Olly Murs. I left it on because it was one of my favourite songs to listen to. The whole plane ride was silent. I finished my coffee and I put the cup in the sink. I made sure I washed and dried it. I sat back down. I pulled out my book that I was reading and I skimmed through about fifty-five pages in five minutes. I looked up to see J.J looking at me. I took out an earbud.

"Hi," I say, putting my book in my bag.

"You can read that fast?" She asked me.

"18,000 words per minute, so yes," I say.

"So your also a genius too?" She asked me. I smiled.

"I don't know. I know I am not like Spencer Reid who has an IQ of 187 while I have an IQ of 184," I say. Spencer's head popped up when he heard his name.

"What?" He asked us. J.J smiled.

"Nothing Einstein," I say. He looks back down.

"Einstein?" J.J asked me.

"He's a genius and I call him Einstein. Albert Einstein," I say. She nods.

"I know," she says. From the corner of my eye, I saw Hotch smile a little. Odd. I know I have only been on this team for forty-eight hours, I have never seen Hotch give emotion. He is like an emotionless robot. Well, that is what I thought about Reid when I first joined. And I am still thinking that.

*Lilly's P.O.V*

We landed and there were two SUVs. J.J and Rossi got into one, going to the crime scene, while Hotch, Morgan, Reid and I were going back to the station. Reid and I got into the back while Hotch drove and Morgan was in the passenger side. It wasn't that long of a drive. Soon we got there. We all hoped out of the SUV and walked inside. A man white may be in his late thirties, with a cop's uniform walked up to us. His hair was long, but not too long. His hair was black and his eyes were chocolate brown. Makes a girl melt. I could tell he was married because he had his ring on. He maybe had two kids and loves them so much.

"Hello my name is James Young the chief," He says.

"Chief I am SSA Aaron Hotchner. This is my team. SSA Derek Morgan, SSA Lilly Armstrong," Hotch says. I shake his hand. Strong grip. "And lastly is our genius SSA Dr.Spencer Reid." He waves awkwardly.

"Nice to meet you all," He says.

"Are the families here?" Hotch asked. James nods and gets one of the cops to follow them to where they were.

"Do you have a place where we could set up?" Reid asks James.

"Yes follow me," He says walking. We follow him to an empty room, that looks a lot like the conference room in Virginia. He stops walking. "You can set up here." We nod and he left. Reid and I started putting up the pictures of the victims and the information so far we had.

Before I met Morgan, I was born in Las Vegas, but only to move with my family. It was because I was endangered, and the person who is doing this is still out there. Already killed my parents, and now. I have to kill him before he kills anybody else.

Las Vegas is where I was born.

Nothing on the unsub yet. Just a little more on Lilly's past. I am hoping you are loving the book, because if you don't then tell me what needs to be changed.
