"So explain it to me again?" Emily blinked.
"And slowly, this time." Morgan nodded.
"You guys weren't- No." Reid shook his head,"I'm not doing that again."
"Just once? For me?" Elijah hummed, leaning against him.
"I've ran out of words today." Reid shrugged.
"Please?" Elijah hummed,"I'll give you a kiss."
".. So actually I've gotten some more words." Reid smiled softly,"It's like this magic, little ball of goodness."
"I see." Emily nodded slowly.
"Guys?" Hotch walked in.
"I think I know what you're going to say." Morgan stood up from his chair.
"I've got no time to explain. Wheels up in five."
"Shit, it must be important." Elijah kissed Reid's cheek before walking off to grab his bag.
"I'll tell my story on the plane." Reid nodded.
"I look forward to it." Emily pointed.
Reid smiled and sat back.

"What time was he taken?" Morgan asked as he drove.
"Between midnight and 6:00am." Emily looked through the notes.
"Same M.O as the other two?" He raised a brow.
"All abducted from their beds in the middle of the night. The first two were found strangled with blunt force head trauma. Dumped in the Wharton State Forest." Fleur nodded.
The man on the radio then began to speak about the amber alert and the press conference that the police were going to hold. Once they parked, they saw the crowd around the victim's house, the victim's family stood behind Detective Lancaster as he spoke.
"I'm glad they took our advice and started the press conference." Emily sighed.
"Yeah, but it would be nice if there weren't so many people walking all over the crime scene." Rossi crossed his arms.
After the Detective finished his speech, he walked over to the Agents,"That was fast."
"Well, we don't have a lot of time." Morgan told him,"Can you show us around?"
"You should have taken this off property." Rossi sighed.
"Yeah, well, the truth is, I wanted to do this down at the station, but Danny and Sarah didn't want to leave the house in case Kyle came back." Detective Lancaster explained as they walked to the house, handing over a picture,"That's Kyle."
Morgan turned the picture around, on the back of it was written, 'To Uncle Bill, love Kyle.'
"Uncle Bill?" Morgan asked.
"We're friends and neighbors. Dan and I grew up around here." Lancaster told them.
"You know, your involvement in this case could be a conflict of interest." Morgan turned.
"Yeah, I appreciate your concern, but I'm not going to stand around while Kyle's still out there." Lancaster pointed,"I know the other two cases. I didn't want to admit this to the press, but there's no doubt in my mind that Kyle's the third victim."
"You know what we're looking at. 99% of abducted children are killed in the first 24 hours." Rossi crossed his arms.
"I know.. I'm going to check on them." Lancaster nodded before walking over to Kyle's parents.
