Elijah hummed, tapping on his steering wheel as he waited for Fleur outside her house.

Fleur opened the passenger side door, getting in,"Please tell me you brought food."

"As always." Elijah hummed, holding up a bag,"I stopped by the bakery before I came."

"I love you." Fleur smiled.

"I love you too." He nodded.

Fleur took the bag, grabbing a muffin before handing him one.

"Thank you, darling." Elijah hummed,"So, have you told him yet?"

"No.. I was thinking of making it special, but I don't know how." Fleur sighed.

"I wish I could help out but the only 'special' thing I did was propose in a hospital room." Elijah shrugged,"Have you considered telling him in a hospital room?"

"I'd need to get hurt and I don't really want that." Fleur chuckled.

"Well, there goes my best and only idea." Eliajh sighed.

"It's like you want me to get hurt." She gasped.

"I'm just talking from experience, it is proven to work." Elijah pointed.

"If I get hurt, I'm blaming you." She pointed.

"You just have to be careful." He told her.

"I will." Fleur hummed.

"Last night, uh, this girl, Gina Bryant, flagged down a police car in St Louis. She was wearing nothing but a dirty nightgown and she was barefoot. And she told them she had been kidnapped when she was eight." Garcia explained as they all sat in the Conference Room.

"That girl has to be nineteen or twenty years old." Morgan blinked, looking at the picture.

"Eighteen. And they confirmed her identity. She was a foster kid who disappeared ten years ago." Garcia informed them.

"She's been in captivity this whole time?" JJ asked.

"Long-term hostage. That's rare. Have we got another Ariel Castro here?" Rossi raised a brow.

"Oh, funny you should say that. Not funny, ha ha, funny weird. She told the police that she was held captive with this girl, Sheila Woods, fifteen years old, who disappeared from Nashville seven years ago." Garcia showed another picture,"Also she said there was another girl, too but all she knows about her is that her name is Violet and she was older."

"I'm assuming you've checked the missing children's database." Rossi looked to her.

"Affirmative, there's no Violet anywhere." Garcia sighed.

"Did Gina say anything about her captor?" Reid asked.

"Just that his name is Tom, and he was an older white dude." Garcia pointed.

"And where were they being held?" Elijah raised a brow.

"This house." Garcia showed the picture,"Gina took the cops there. They found Sheila, she's at the hospital, very ill with something yet to be determined. Violet nowhere to be found."

"Probably safe to assume she's with the Unsub." Hotch nodded.

"Who owns the house?" Fleur leaned forward.

"Oh, that's where things get even weirder. This woman, Clara Riggins. She's MIA, but her chequeing account is active, she pays her bills on time, and if my math is correct, she's 108 years old." Garcia answered.
