Heartbeat (A Spencer Reid Story)

Two

*Scarlett's P.O.V*

I get to my work and get to the fourth floor. I walk out of the elevator to see Tony waiting for me.

"Hey, sunshine. How was your weekend?" He asked.

"Horrible," I said. "Did you find anything on Ruby?"

"No. It's like she slipped off the internet since she was born," Tony says. I looked at him. 

"That's very odd," I said. "Have you ever tried looking into Dean?"

"Do you think he would be after you?" Tony asked me as we walked into my office.

"Well, I am up for his job. If I can catch Ruby killing these men I would be his boss," I said. "Do you think he would want that?"

"No," He says. "I'll keep my eye out on anything suspicious and report back to you."

"Thanks, Tony," I said as I started to organize my files. "Besides who else could get into my apartment ten years ago and kill my husband and son?"

"He is the only one that can access your apartment with the spare key he has," Tony says. "If your life is at risk, don't you think we should bring in the BAU?"

"The BAU is for profiling mass murderers. We don't know if Dean is a mass murderer. Besides if the BAU comes in, I won't be able to get that promotion I have always wanted," I said. "I'm good at being undercover. And I'm good at profiling. We don't need professionals. Not yet anyway." He nods. 

"Anyway. I saw you were almost late. Why is that?" He asked me.

"You know that cafe I always go to before I come here?" I asked him in a low voice. He nods. "Well I was playing chess and I finally met someone as smart as me to play." He nods.

"Is he cute?" He asked.

"You know I'm not looking to date," I said.

"Scar. It's been ten years. I think James would want you to be happy," Tony says.

"It's not that. My job is dangerous. And if anyone gets close to me they will die," I said. "I don't want him to be like them." Tony nods.

"Then I'll get right on looking up everything on Ruby and Blade," He says. "The longer we wait. The longer you wait to date." I rolled my eyes and he walks out of my office.

*Spencer's P.O.V*

I was in the conference room waiting on my teammates. Emily said we had a case and wanted everyone in the conference room. I was zoning out thinking about Scarlett.

She was beautiful and seem very intelligent. I was shocked when she beat me at chess. The only other person to beat me in chess was Gideon.

"Spece," I heard my name. I looked up. "You okay?"

"Yes," I said as I open my file.

"Okay," Prentiss says. "Garcia. Continue." She nods.

"Well, we are going to Miami Florida because there have been four murders in two weeks," Garcia says as pictures popped up. "Taylor Bouvet was kidnapped on Monday of the first week and was found dead on the side of the highway on Wednesday. Alan Lawson was kidnapped as well on Wednesday and was found in a garbage bag on Friday afternoon. Genevive Simpson was kidnapped just last week on Monday and was found dead by a cemetery on Wednesday. Caleb Morrison was kidnapped on Wednesday and found in a park Friday afternoon. Now, this is Annabel Little. She was kidnapped this morning."

"They were tortured in the two days and the woman was raped," I said looking at the file.

"And by the looks of it, it looks like they were strangled to death," J.J says.
