Old Friend

Chapter 10

"Garcia, I need you to look up Mark's phone records." Said Aaron. "Okay, I found a phone number that called Mark six times last night." "Can you trace it?" "No, it's a disposable." "Okay, can you bring up the security clips that you sent to Morgan and Reid earlier?" Aaron asked. "Yep." The screen suddenly went black and the security footage appeared. The team looked for something out of the ordinary. "Garcia can you back it up a couple seconds?" Spencer asked. "Okay look!" Spencer pointed at the monitor. "There's Angela Rodriguez." Emily said. "So she just disappeared?" Said JJ. "No, if you look closely you can see that Logan Mauer stays in his assigned place in the casino while Chris Gates constantly moves around." Spencer explained. "He left at the same time as Angela, He's our Unsub." Said Emily. "JJ and Emily, I want you guys to go to the casino and ask the manager where Chris Gates is. Morgan and Reid, I want you guys to go to Chris Gates house and see if he's there." Aaron ordered.

JJ and Emily arrived at the Treasure Island Hotel. "Hello, how may I help you?" Asked the women from behind the desk. "We're with the FBI and we're looking for one of your employees, Chris Gates?" Said Emily. "Look, already told your friends that none of my employees would do that." "Ma'ma please." Said JJ. "He had the day off today, I don't know where he is." Emily got her phone out. "Hotchner." Aaron answered. "Hotch, he's not here." "Okay, anything from Morgan and Reid yet?" "No."

"Chris Gates, FBI!" Derek shouted then kicked the door open. Spencer walked toward the back room with his gun. "Clear!" Spencer yelled. Derek took the kitchen and the family room. "Clear!" Derek yelled. Derek continued to walk around then suddenly he heard a gun shot from the back room. "Reid? Reid!" Derek yelled. Chris Gates ran outside, Spencer followed behind. Derek ran out the back door and tried to look for Spencer but he was no where in sight. Derek got out his phone and dialed Aaron's number. "Morgan?" "Hotch! We need back up! Reid went after Chris Gates and I don't know where he is now." "Okay, we're on our way."

Spencer pointed his gun forward and looked around for Chris Gates, Suddenly Spencer heard a sound coming from the bushes. Spencer peered around the bush and found Chris with a women wrapped tightly in his arms with a gun held up against her head. The women had a black eye and serval bruises. "FBI." Spencer said. "Come any closer and I'll shoot her." Chris threatened." Spencer stood still. "Please put the gun down." "no!" Chris yelled. "Let her go." Spencer demanded. Chris got ready to pull the trigger then he fell down. Derek was behind him. "You okay kid?" "Yeah."

"You think she'll be okay?" Derek asked Aaron as he watched the women be driven off in the ambulance. "She's safe." Aaron answered. "Hey Hotch?" Aaron looked at Spencer. "Is it okay if I stay here for a couple more hours?" Spencer asked. Aaron nodded.
