Counting Stars (A Spencer Reid Story) (Completed)

Chapter Eleven

*Spencer's P.O.V*

We roll up to the police station to see Lilly waiting for us. We all walked out. I saw two coffees in my hand. 

"What took you guys so long?" She asked us. Soon I handed her a cup of coffee. "OOO coffee." She took it and opened it.

"Reid wanted to get us some coffee," Morgan says. 

"I see," She says. Soon we walked inside. Lilly looked up to see someone. I didn't bother to lift my head. That was until I heard my name.

"Spencer," She says

*Lilly's P.O.V*

I watched as the blonde girl ran up and hugged Spencer. I bit my cheek, not saying anything bad. They both let go of the hug.

"Spencer, how long has it been?" She asked him. He looked at her, then at me, then back at her.

"Six years maybe," He says. She smiles. "Uh. Lila, This is Lilly Armstrong. Lilly this is Lila Archer." I smile at her. Spencer could tell I was trying my best to get along. Sometimes I don't trust people I don't know. Yes, I know. I had to trust the team. Morgan told me they were all good people, and if he gives me the wrong advice, well that is the wrong road to turn on.

"Lila you said you had some advice on this girl that went missing," Hotch says interrupting my thoughts. She nods and walks off with J.J. I walked into the room we were given. You know what I'm just going to call it the conference room.

"Lilly I would have told you," Spencer says. I looked at Spencer.

"Spencer I couldn't care less. We are just friends," I say. We are just friends. Even though I do have feelings for him, he needs time, and I get that.

"Yeah, but you should know," He says. I looked at the pictures, hoping this conversation would end soon. But I was wrong. "Lilly, please let me explain."

"Later. I don't have time now. As you can see we have a case," I say cold. He looks at me. He knew I didn't want to talk about this right now. I sat down in one of the desk chairs.  I looked at the pictures. Soon Spencer sat next to me.

"What are you trying to figure out?" Spencer asked me, sitting beside me.

"What all these girls have in common. Yeah, they have blonde hair and blue eyes, but what else is it? I can't seem to figure it out," I say.

"Well, why don't I help you?" He asks me.

"Be my guest," I say. Soon we started looking at the pictures. Looking for some kind of clue that will help us get closer.

*Lilly's P.O.V*

"Lilly, do you see this?" Spencer says getting up.

"What?" I asked him following him to his side.

"They were all actresses and rich," Spencer says. I finally see it.

"What about Jennifer?" I asked him.

"Same thing. Blonde hair, blue eyes, actress, and rich," he says.

"They were all pretty. Do you think the unsub dated someone rich? Maybe someone who was an actress?" I asked him. 

"It looks like it," He says. "But why strangle them?"

"They did something to pissed them off. Something that made this unsub kill them. He is waiting to find her," I say.

"The girl who has hurt her maybe?" Spencer asked me. 

"Or maybe it wasn't the girl who had hurt this unsub. Maybe it was something the unsub did, and she had enough and left him. Making him angry," I say.

"Angry enough to kill these innocent women," He says.

"Spencer there is something that the unsub wants, but I don't know what," I say. Soon J.J walks in with Lila.

"Lila says she knows Jennifer. They did a show together," J.J says. I saw that Lila was crying. Spencer, the gentlemen he is. Ran up to her and comfort her. They walked out. J.J walked up to me. "Lilly, you got to get in there before Lila steals him." I looked at her.

"J.J. Spencer and I are just friends. Nothing more, nothing less," I say. 

"Lilly. The way you guys are around each other. I have never seen him this happy," she says.

"And I am trying to help him. I don't want him to be my boyfriend because he has to. I want him to choose for himself. To get over Maeve," I say. She smiles and walks off. I went back to the board. Figuring out what this unsub wants.

*Lilly's P.O.V*

"Guy's. Spencer and I got something while you were all out," I say as Hotch, Morgan, Rossi, and J.J came in. Spencer was still out helping Lila. 

"What is it?" Hotch asked me.

"Well. This time I didn't see it. Dictionary man did," I said as Spencer came in. He smiles. "OK, so they were all blonde and had blue eyes in common. There was something else too. They were all actresses and rich. So what Spencer and I were thinking is that the unsub must have dated someone who was like them. We think this woman left this guy because he was hurting her, and when she left, that is when the anger poured out of him. Somebody he loved. And now he is trying to find his lost love and when he doesn't go right. He strangles and shoots them."  I smiled. "Well, that is what we think. There is one thing that this unsub wants, but I can't figure it out." Everyone looks at me. "What? Haven't you seen an abnormal girl being weird?" They all smiled. Even Spencer.

"OK, we will pick this up tomorrow. Go to the hotel and get some rest," Hotch says. We nodded and left.
