Counting Stars (A Spencer Reid Story) (Completed)

Chapter Thirty-One

*Lilly's P.O.V*

I walked back in. The clothes were being examine as we speak. Morgan was not far behind me.

"So what did you find?" Hotch asked.

"He was shot and stabbed," Morgan says. J.J looked at me.

"Come on Li we all know you have a theory," J.J says.  I looked at them.

"What if we are not dealing with one unsub, but with more then one," I say.

"So your say we are dealing with more then one unsub?" Hotch asked me. I nodded.

"By the way," I say. I looked around and shut the doors. "Morgan and I found bloody clothes hidden in a tree."

"The unsub is trying to hide the evidence," Spencer says. I nodded. I looked behind me to see Noah looking at me. Like he was hiding something. I turned my head back to the team.

"The bloody clothes were the one that Noah had on," I say. Spencer looks at me.

"You can remember what he was wearing?" He asked me in a jealous tone. I smiled.

"I have an eidetic memory just like you genius," I say. He smiles.

"But why would Noah kill this guy?" Rossi asked me.

"Well I am thinking if it is Noah, he didn't kill Tommy. his partner did. This unsub must of gotten worried and killed one of the victims," I say. "But I am not pointing any fingers until I get more information on this. I can stay close with Noah and see if he is the unsub." They nodded.

"Lilly you remember how he left in a rush?" Spencer asked me.

"When was this," Hotch asked us.

"When you guys left to talk to the families or go to the last place Cole was scene. He walked in and told us that he had to go for a few minutes. We really thought it was weird, but we shrugged it off. You know as I keep thinking about it, he did come back in different clothes. I can't be 100 percent sure."

"OK Armstrong you keep an eye on Noah. He trusts you the most out of all of us," Hotch says. I nod. Soon I open the doors, and Noah was by his desk.

"Lilly. What was going on?" He asked me. I decided to tell him what we found. See if he was hiding something.

"Well we were just discussing the case and I told them that I found bloody clothes in the trees," I say. He looks at me. Not even surprised.

"Oh.Can you excuse me for a second. I gotta go call someone," He says. I nodded and he went into the other room. I watched as he took out his phone and called someone. No later he started talking to someone. I picked up my phone and called Garcia. She picked up in no time.

"Hello. What can your favorite technical girl do for you?" She asked.

"Garcia can you tell me everything that is on Noah Jackson?" I asked her.

"Why?" She asked back. I licked my lips.

"Well its a long story, explain later?" I asked her.

"Yeah. Do you want me to send it to your tablet?" She asked me.

"Yes please. I might not have long. Noah is acting really suspicious," I say. There was a long period of silence.

"Done chipmunk. By the way. I have a question for you," She says.

"Go ahead," I say.

"When are you and Dr. Spencer Reid are going to get together? You guys are perfect for each other," She says. I chuckled.

"I told you Spencer and I are just friends. Plus I like someone else," I say.

"Come on. Who will understand you better then Spencer," She says. I smile.

"Bye Garcia," I say. 

"Bye Ms. Fun-Time-Killer," She jokes. I hanged up. Soon Noah walked up to me.

"Who was that?" He asked me.

"Just a friend. I'll be right back," I say. He nods and I walked in to see Spencer and Hotch working on the profile.

"What is going on Armstrong?" Hotch asked me.

"I told Noah about the bloody clothes and he seemed... Suspicious," I say. 

"Like how?" Spencer asked me.

"Well he went off to make a phone call in one of the offices. He could of done it around me. So while he was in there I asked Garcia to dig up some information on him," I say. I sat down and pulled out my tablet. My smiled turned into a frown. "Oh man."

"What is it?" Spencer asked me coming over to me and sitting next to me.

"Well. Noah lost a son," I say.

"Let me guess, blonde hair green eyes," Hotch says. I nodded.

"But not only that, when he was younger he went to jail mutable times," I say.

"For murder," Spencer says.

"What made him change his mind and being a detective?" Hotch asked.

"Nothing. It doesn't even say he is a detective. It says he used to work as a janitor, but got fired," I say.

"Then why hasn't anyone reported this?" Spencer asked. I went to the window and saw Noah talking to a couple cops who looked scared of him. I gulped.

"They are scared of him," I say. I turned back. "Noah must has someone. Somebody important to them not to say anything, or not to lock this guy up." 

"What do we do now?" Spencer asked us. I looked at him.

"We have to give out the profile. We have to describe Noah and hope he doesn't know," I say.

"That is a chance we can take," Hotch says. "I'll get the rest of the team. Lilly go tell Noah we are ready to give out the profile." I nod. Hotch left and I was about to leave when Spencer grabbed my arm.

"I guess we can't go on our date on Saturday," He says.

"Hey we can go anytime. Spence as long as I'm with you. That is all that matters," I say. He smiles and lets go of me. I finally found Noah and told him we were ready to give out the profile.

And by the look of his face.

He is worried.
