Heartbeat (A Spencer Reid Story)

Five

*Spencer's P.O.V*

We finally caught Michael in Maxwell's house. Max's wife survived but Michael didn't. He wouldn't stand down, so when the snipers had a chance, they shot him. We tried to convince him out of his ways, but he would not budge. Sadly things had to end that way. 

We were on the plane back to Quantico. I was by the window seat reading one of my favourite books. As I was reading, I felt eyes on me. I looked up from my book to see J.J looking at me.

"So, she's the girl you were worried about?" J.J asked.

"Who? Scarlett?" I asked. She nods. "I promised her something and I broke it. Well kind of. I texted her to tell her I am coming back to Quantico and then tomorrow we can have coffee and have a rematch at chess."

"I thought only Gideon could beat you at chess," She says. I smiled.

"Well, I guess I found a really good opinion then," I said.

*Scarlett's P.O.V*

I was in my office when I heard a knock on the door. I look up to see a blonde-haired woman with blue eyes. She had glasses on and I knew it was Penelope.

"Penelope. Is everything okay?" I asked her. She shuts the door and comes in. 

"No," She says in a low voice. "Where's Tony?"

"He's in his cave, but I can text him to get his ass to my office," I said.

"Please do," She says sitting down. "Do you have any water?"

"Of course," I said. Before I got Penelope water, I take out my phone and go into Tony's messages.

Scar: Get your ass over to my office now!

I sent the text and got up. I walked over to my mini-fridge where I kept water and any cold drinks, just in case. I took out a bottle of water and gave it to her.

"Sorry. That's the only thing I got in here," I said.

"It will do," She says. I nodded. She opens the lid and takes a sip. I have never seen anyone get so worried over the information they were giving. Soon I heard footsteps and I got up. The door opens to Tony. I let out a breath.

"Close the door," I said.

"Garcia," Tony says as he closed the door.

"I'm worried we shouldn't be here if this is critical information," I mumbled. "Is your team back?"

"No. Not yet," Penelope says.

"I think we should head up there so that no one down here can hear what you're saying and give it to Blade. If he had any information I had, he would use it against me," I said. She nods and She gets up. I grabbed all my files and walked over to the door. Tony opens it and Penelope and I walk out first. Tony follows out. I locked my door and we left for the elevator.

*Scarlett's P.O.V*

Tony, Penelope and I were in Penelope's Lair. She sits in her chair as Tony closes the door.

"What's got on you on edge Penelope?" I asked as the door fully closed.

"Call me Garcia, Scarlett," She says. I nodded.

"Okay, Garcia," I said.

"So, when you gave me that photo, I scanned it and only one person came up. Cat Adams," She says.

"Shit," I mumbled.

"What?" Garcia asked.

"I knew she looked familiar, but I didn't know. She is known to be connected through an online network of hitmen called Hitman Network. Dean has been trying to shut them down for years. She became 'Miss. 45' after the network was cropped up by the FBI in 2013. Every other member didn't like to kill their target up-close and personal, but Cat loved it. She double-crossed three of her clients when they wanted her to kill their wives," I explained. "No wonder why they jumped."
