Old Friend

Chapter 17

The team was getting ready to land. "JJ, can you wake Reid up for me?" Aaron asked. JJ nodded and walked toward the coach at the back of the jet. JJ sat down and started to run her fingers through Spencer's soft brown curly hair. Spencer jerked awake. "Hey, it's okay Spence. Hotch wanted me to wake you, we're about to land." JJ whispered. Spencer slowly got up and rubbed his eyes. "You tired?" Derek asked. Spencer nodded and yawned.

Went the team landed they to the NYPD headquarters. "It's nice to see all of you again." said Captain Holt. Everyone nodded. "Have you had any other victims showed up since last night?" Aaron asked. "No and hopefully there won't be anymore." Said Captain Holt in a stern voice.

"Okay, Reid and Morgan I want you guys to go to the Turtle Bay Tavern in Manhattan and see if the owner knows anything about the murders. JJ and Emily, I want you guys to go to the Pegu Club in Soho." Everyone nodded and left. "Does Reid seem okay to you?" Aaron asked. "He'll be okay, he's just tired." David assured him.

"So are you excited to see Emma again?" Derek asked. Spencer nodded. "You don't seem excited?" "It's just.. I keep thinking that we can have this relationship but the fact of the matter is that she lives two hours away and we're both always busy with cases." Spencer admitted. "Reid, don't let this job ruin your happiness and two hours isn't that far man, take the subway." Derek joked. Spencer smiled. "I guess you're right." Said Spencer.

"So did Reid have a long night or what?" Emily joked. "Yeah." said JJ. "What do you think keeps a genius up at night?" Emily asked. "Math equations?" JJ joked.

Derek and Spencer arrived at the Turtle Bay Tavern. "Oh look Einstein is here!" "Canadians found that Albert Einstein's brain was 15% larger than normal." Said Spencer. "Wow, I'm bored." "Alright Peralta that's enough." Said Derek. Jake nodded. "Alright so far we think that he somehow lured the victims out here and killed him." Jake explained. "That's all you have?" Derek asked. "Um.. Yeah." Derek just walked away. "What's his problem?" Jake asked. Spencer ignored the question and walked away with Derek.

After JJ and Emily arrived at the Pegu Club they went in to talk to the owner. "Hi, how may I help you ladies?" The man from behind the counter asked. JJ showed her credentials. "We're looking for the owner?" "That's me, I'm Andrew Bates. What can I do for you agents?" "Someone was murdered here last night, would you happen to know who did it? Or have an idea of who could've done it?" JJ asked. "Nope. All my employees have a clean profile, you can even check yourselves." The owner explained. "Thank you." Said JJ. Mr. Bates nodded. JJ got out her phone and called Penelope. "Talk to me." Penelope answered. "Hey Garcia, I need you to do a background check on the all of the employees at the Pegu Club." "Will do." "Thanks."
