Detective Reid (Criminal Minds / One Chicago FanFic)

Chapter 5

Intelligence Unit, 21st District Police Department, Chicago Illinois

Lauren sat at her desk as Voight Hotch and JJ went into the break room to start setting up a board for their profile. "So your brother's a doctor," Jay said looking at his partner. "Yeah," Lauren replied going back to looking into traffic cams around the area they found the victims to see if they caught anything. "What's he specialize in?" Dawson asked joining the conversation. "He's got a BA's in Psychology, Sociology, and philosophy along with Ph.D's in Chemistry. Mathematics and Engineering," Lauren replied keeping her focus on what she's doing feeling everyone staring at her. 

Lauren looked up to be treated by her team's surprised expressions, "Isn't he a bit... young to have that many PH.Ds and B.As?" Jay asked. Lauren went to answer when someone else did. "Well considering I've got an eidetic memory, can read 20,000 words per minute, and have an IQ of 187. It was actually quite simple," Spencer said emerging up the stairs with Adam and Kim. 

Lauren smirked as Jay went quiet not realizing Spencer had returned, "What are you some kind of genius?" Adam asked Spencer. "I don't believe that someone's intelligence can be accurately measured... but to answer your question, yes," Spencer said as Lauren finished her coffee as Agents Morgan, Prentiss, and Rossi emerged up the stairs into the bullpen. 

"How old are you?" Jay asked Spencer, "27," the doctor replied looking toward the detective. "Well look who it is, Mini Reid," Morgan said with a smile noticing Lauren sitting at her desk as he walked over. Lauren stood up as the agent pulled her into an embrace, "Hey Derek," she said as he let go of her. "How have you been?" Morgan asked her as he looked at her desk. "Good, working and staying busy, what about you?" Lauren asked as Emily walked over and pulled her into a hug. 

"Good, how longs has it been since we saw you?" Emily asked letting go of their hug. "11 months, 13 days, 8 hours, and 42 minutes," Spencer said thinking about it for a moment. "Right that was last year for your birthdays," Morgan said. "Birthdays?" Jay asked catching the wording of what Morgan said. "Yea, Lauren, and Spencer were born on the same day," Prentiss said, "The medical terminology would be Fraternal Twins, it's the result of the fertilization of two separate eggs with two sets of sperm during the same pregnancy," Spencer said rambling slightly. 

"Spence I love you, but I don't think anyone wants a health lesson on how were conceived," Lauren said leaning on her desk as she looked at her older brother. "I am curious, whose older?" Adam asked. "That would be me," Spencer said with a smirk. "By 5 minutes," Lauren argued sending her brother a look. "I'm gonna see if Mouse found anything on the POD footage," she said as she stood up and went downstairs to the basement where Mouse's office was. 

Lauren walked into the room finding the brunette typing away at his computers with a beanie on when she walked in. "Find anything on the Pods?" Lauren asked causing him to look over his shoulder and glancing at her. "Umm nothing yet," Mouse said going back to typing as she walked in and took a seat on the extra chair in the room. "You know I can let you know if I find anything, that way you don't have to stick around. You know if you got better things to do," Mouse said turning in his spinning chair to look at the detective. 

"I'm good, it's a bit... Crowded upstairs right now with the FBI helping on this case," she replied enjoying the moment to think. "Well stay as long as you need," Mouse said sending her a small smile before turning back to his monitors. "Thanks, Mouse," she said as she leaned back on the chair letting out a sigh. 

"So your birthday's coming up," he said after a while of silence causing Lauren to look at him slightly confused as Mouse looked at her. "I have access to the team's personnel files and it notifies me of upcoming birthdays." Mouse said reading her confusion. "Oh," was all Lauren said, "So you got any plans?" he asked. "Usually my brother and I hang out since it's his birthday too, it's the 1 time each year we make sure we always see each other," Lauren told him. "That's a nice tradition," Mouse replied. 

"Hey there you are, I've been looking all over for you. There's another body," Jay said walking in the room. Lauren got up instantly at his words and followed him out the door to the back parking lot. "Where?" Lauren asked him as she got in the passenger side of his truck. "Butler Field," Jay replied as they took off to the crime scene. "Everything okay with you?" he asked as they drove back towards the waterfront where Butler Field is. "Yeah, I'm Fine, she replied looking out the window as they approached the crime scene which had more vehicles with flashing lights and a crowd being pushed back by officers. 

Butler Field, Chicago Illinois 

jay and Lauren walked onto the scene where Spencer and Derek were already looking over the wooden boy that had been gift wrapped and holding a dead female brunette that looked to be around Lauren's age. "She's been crucified," Spencer said causing Lauren to look at the holes in her hands and feet. 

This poor woman had been through hell, "Do you have any idea what dislocates their shoulders like this?" Lauren asked already knowing her brother probably had a theory. "He's most likely using a machine to pull the joint out of the socket by the way the shoulder's dislocated on each victim my guess is he forcibly rotates the shoulders backwards to dislocate them," Spencer replied. "Lovely," Lauren said before she walked back over to Jay noticing a convenience store across the road. "I'm gonna grab an energy drink and something to eat from the Seven/11 want anything?" she asked him. "I'm good, want me to go with you?" he asked her, "It's across the street, I think I'll manage," she replied to him before she walked out of the crime scene and across the street towards the convenience store. 

Lauren walked past a few people not thinking much of it as she went to walk over to the store went something sharp jabbed her in the neck. The brunette went to turn in that direction but her vision started to blur as an older man came into view before she started to fall. The brunette reached for her gun pulled it out and loading it as she was dragged toward a van. 

Lauren struggled against his hold and whatever he stabbed her with, she managed to load her gun and try to aim at the man trying to abduct her as a loud POP! sounded followed by another before the gun was knocked out of her hand onto the ground and she got punched in the face knocking her to the sidewalk before she got lifted up and tossed in the back of a van and that was the last thing she saw. 

Every officer, detective, and agent on the field heard gunshots from across the street sending all of them running in the direction as a van started speeding off down the street. It was Spencer and Morgan that got into one of the federal SUVs and started following the van along with 3 patrol cars. 

Jay ran across the street toward the convenience store looking for Lauren. The detective went inside not finding the brunette anywhere, "Have you seen a girl, brunette, 5 foot 5 come in recently?" he asked the store clerk who said shook his head no causing Jay to get a feeling in his gut especially after the gunshots went off. 

Jay walked back outside noticing something on the sidewalk, the detective walked over picking up Lauren's Badge and gun. Jay checked the chamber of the gun noticing 2 rounds were missing, the same 2 rounds everyone heard from the field. "5021 George shots fires by Butler Field by a missing detective, I repeat We have a 10-56 at Butler Field missing person is Detective Lauren Reid," Jay said through his radio starting to panic
