My First Love [Spencer Reid Fanfic - 1]

Chapter 24 - P911

"The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer

"Your brother is a jackass!" A brunette yelled at me as she left my apartment.

Matt showed up without a shirt on, his eyes wide. "Is she gone?" He asked in fear.

I nodded and pointed my finger at him. "You have got to stop bringing random girls to my apartment." I scolded him. "Two federal agents live here."

"I'm moving back to my apartment today." Elle chimed in.

I turned to her and gave her a soft smile. "I know, that's not the point." I turned back to my dumbass brother. "What has gotten into you?" My expression softened. "You're usually nice to girls and I'm starting to hate your whole frat guy persona."

"In my defense, they come on to me and expect something I can't give them." Matt smirked. "I'm not ready for a relationship, sis."

"Get your act together!" I said with a stern expression and then grabbed my purse and my keys. "Are you ready to go, Elle?" I asked and she nodded.

I drove us to Quantico, where Elle had a meeting with Hotch. She had been cleared to work and passed her psych evaluation. Elle wasn't ready to return to her apartment after being shot there so I offered her my guest bedroom while my brother took the couch. We had fun for the past four months.

When we arrived at the BAU, the first person we saw was Spencer. We never talked about the kiss. There was nothing to say.

Spencer smiled as he saw us walk out of the elevator. "You cut your hair." He noted.

Elle smiled softly. "And you wear glasses now." She looked at me. "I need to go talk to Hotch. Thank you for everything, Cass." She squeezed my arm and left.

"So..." Spencer started.

"Elle is returning to her apartment." I informed him.

"Cassie, are we ever going to talk about..."

"I think we have a case." I started walking into the bullpen. "We should find JJ."

Yeah... Things were awkward between Spencer and I and it was all my fault. I shouldn't have kissed him.

We all gathered in the conference room. Hotch looked a little flustered. This case must be big or disturbing. "SSA Cole asked for our help finding a boy who was abducted and is now being auctioned."

Bingo! Disturbing case. "What do we know about the boy?" I asked.

"Nothing really." Hotch sighed. "Footage of him stopped last year. This is the first lead they have and we were called in to prevent the boy from being auctioned."

"There are hundreds of child molesters in the area. It will be difficult to pinpoint the boy's exact location without an ID." Spencer commented.

"Not to mention we're on a tight schedule." Gideon stated.

"We have to try." Hotch said while grabbing the files.

We arrived at the Crimes Against Children's unit and were immediately welcomed by SSA Cole. She was more laid back than Hotch but still managed to be seen as authority figure. "SSA Cole this is my team. Agents Gideon, Morgan, Jareau and Greenaway and Drs. Reid and Porter."

"Nice to meet you. I'm Katherine Cole and this is Agent Amanda Gilroy."

"Can you tell us how you managed to find the boy?" Hotch asked while walking.
