Elijah and Reid were in their house..Spending time with each other until Elijah's phone went off.

"I.. Am going.. To fight someone." Elijah muttered as he picked up his phone,"What do you want?"

"Woah, hello grumpy." Fleur blinked.

"I was in the middle of something." Elijah rolled his eyes.

"Sorry." Fleur sighed,"Derek was on call to JJ when Strauss came in, she needs us."

"Like right now?"

"Right now. I'm on my way to get you two." Derek told him.

"I'll be ready." Elijah shook his head, hanging up.

"Who is it?" Reid covered himself with the blanket.

"Morgan and Fleur. Strauss needs us." Elijah turned to look at him.

"Like..Now?"

"Now. Morgan's on his way."

Reid looked at the time,"We have about thirteen minutes."

"Better put some clothes on then, pretty boy." Elijah got up.

"Pretty boy." Reid smiled.

"You really like that one, don't you?' He hummed.

"I do."

"Well, if you want me to call you it again, you need to get dressed."

"Fine with me." Reid hummed and got up.

Elijah sighed as he started getting dressed. He just wanted one night, that was it.

"We'll make up for it, hm?" Reid grabbed his jumper.

"Yeah." Elijah nodded slowly.

"Don't worry."

"I'd just like a night with no interruptions or early rises."

"We can only hope." Reid sighed.

"Maybe one day."

"We better feed the cats before we go.

"I'll get on that." Elijah nodded, heading downstairs.

"So what did Strauss want?" Fleur asked as they walked in.

"She needs us in Los Angeles." Hotch turned to face thek

"Home invasion homicide last night. Officers found Gregory Everson, fifty-six, beaten with a GSW to the head. His wife, Colleen was equally beaten and raped repeatedly." JJ explained.

"Repeatedly?" Emily raised a brow.

"That's what she reported." JJ sighed.

"Wait, she survived this?" Elijah looked up from the file.

"He chose to keep her alive." Hotch nodded.

"An intentional witness?"

"Everything but that points to an organised offender. An experienced one." Rossi thought.

"Was she able to identify him?" Reid asked.

"She said he was white, with mean eyes and repulsive breath." JJ read from the file.

"Rotten inside and out." Rossi shook his head,"Did he rape her in front of the husband?"

"Yeah."

"One home invasion rarely warrants Strauss personally sending us out." Morgan crossed his arms.
