"Come on, Spencer. Make your move!" I smiled at him and paid close attention as he squirmed.

"I don't know what kind of move I should make under this circumstances." Spencer furrowed his eyebrows and rested his chin on his hand, thinking.

"Don't be a wuss." I teased him.

Spencer moved his chess piece and I immediately smirked. "I hate this!" He complained.

I made my move and took down his King. "Checkmate!"

"How could I lose to her?" Spencer turned to Gideon. "She always loses to you." He complained.

Gideon put down his paper and stared at the chess board. "You and I are patient men who enjoy a long game of chess." He analyzed. "Cassie's mind works faster which is why she will always beat you at blitz chess."

I grinned and pinched Spencer's cheek. "Oh Pretty Boy... I will always win..." He pouted which made me laugh.

"What have you done to Reid?" Morgan asked as he saw the boy contemplating the chess board.

"I beat him at chess." I replied.

"I thought only Gideon could beat Reid at chess." Elle said with an amused smile.

I shook my head. "We played blitz chess."

"What's that?" Morgan asked.

"It's when you have a certain amount of time to make your move." I explained. "I've been playing like this since I was 7 years old."

"It just doesn't make sense." Spencer shouted and we all laughed.

Hotch showed up at the top of the stairs. "We have a case." We all stopped what we were doing and followed our boss.

"Nicole Wegener was abducted from Tampa, Florida and found drowned in Atlanta, Georgia this morning." JJ filled us in. "Before her, there was Elaine Carol, also drowned."

I stared at the screen and saw the photos of multiple women. "He drowned all those women?" I asked.

"He abducts a woman from another state, crosses state lines and then kills them by drowning, one of the worst ways to die." Spencer stated with a confused expression.

"Nothing about this unsub makes sense." Elle noted. "We have five victims, but this is the first he killed outside of Florida. Why?"

Morgan leaned closer to the round table. "Maybe he's trying to throw us off his trail."

"Reid, Morgan and Porter, you should go to Atlanta while the rest of us are going to Tampa." Hotch demanded. "We will gather in Tampa once we have a profile." We nodded and headed towards the door.

Spencer leaned close to me while Morgan chuckled. "You two are going to banter about chess the entire flight, right?"

"She cheated." Spencer accused me.

"I did not." I defended myself. "It's not my fault I'm younger, therefore, my brain works faster."

"Are you calling me old?" Spencer gasped in shock.

"If the shoe fits..." I sang softly.

Morgan shook his hand in disapproval. "Children..."
