ELLE, SPENCER, VALENTINA AND GIDEON HEADED down to the room where Derek was trying to get into a laptop. Spencer was calling someone as they walked into the room.

Elle walked over to Derek, "What's the number six at the bottom of the screen?"

"The number of password attempts before the program wipes the hard drive." Derek said, a tone of annoyance.

"There could be an email or a journal in the computer." Elle said, "Something that tells us where Heather is. Do you think you can break in?"

"In six tries?" Derek looked back at Elle like she was a bit crazy.

"Try again. Fail again. Fail better." Gideon said, getting the attention of everyone.

"Samuel Beckett." Valentina and Spencer said at the same time.

"Try not. Do or do not." Derek quoted.

Spencer looked back at Gideon who looked confused, "Yoda."

Gideon turned to the wall that had a small book shelf. He pulled out a black book called 'Journal of Applied Criminal Psychology'. Gideon flipped through the pages, Spencer and Valentina watching.

Gideon stopped on one page, it had a newspaper article, a picture of Gideon on the front with the headline 'Blast Kills Six'.

Gideon looked up at Valentina and Spencer, "I wanna talk to him." And then he walked out.

Elle, Gideon, Hotch, Valentina and Spencer went back to the FBI building, apparently there was now a second UnSub. Great. Valentina thought as she and Spencer stood at a desk, waiting for a stupid address.

"You get an address on Linder?" Hotch asked as he walked up to the two smart headed agents.

"It's coming right now." Spencer nodded slightly. Hotch walked past them but Spencer kept talking, causes him to come back, "Does senior management want a field assessment on Gideon?"

"Don't worry about it. Either of you." Hotch shook his head slightly.

"Are they nervous about him being in charge?" Valentina asked, standing behind Spencer.

"Aren't you both on your way back to Slessman's house to help Morgan?" Hotch said. He was avoiding the fricken subject!

"Do you know why he always introduces me as Doctor Reid?" Spencer called out before Hotch disappeared, making him walk back to the pair.

"Because he knows that people see you as a kid and he wants to make sure that they respect you." Hotch said calmly, "What's the address?"

"I don't think it matters anymore." Spencer said, looking up from the paper as Hotch sighed.

Valentina paced back and forth in an empty bit of the floor as Spencer sat on the bed, CD's all around his as he flipped one in his hands.

All of a sudden he stopped which caught Valentina's eye, "What?"

"Let's go upstairs." Spencer said, climbing off the bed and taking Valentina by the hand, dragging her upstairs where Derek was talking to himself.

"I've been thinking about the CD's." Spencer said as he crouched by the coffee table the laptop was sat on. Valentina went back to pacing.

"Oh, Reid, come on, we tried the CD's." Derek sighed from his seat, "We searched, sifted and sorted through every one of this guy's head-banging heavy metal collection. We gotta find something or this girl is dead."

Valentina stopped pacing like something in her brain clicked, she walked over to beside Spencer, crouching and looking at the side of the laptops keyboard. There was a CD holder, "I think we may have missed the obvious."

Valentina clicked it and it popped out, a CD was sat in it. Metallica. Ew. Valentina thought.

Derek and Spencer both looked at her like she was crazy, in a good way though, Derek grabbed the CD, before looking back at Valentina, "Teens, what made you think of this?"

"It was the only empty case." Spencer said in realisation as Valentina held the case up.

"All right. I'm an insomniac who listens to Metallica to go to sleep at night." Derek said, looking between the CD and case before lowering them, "What song could possibly speak to me?"

"Enter Sandman." Spencer said, looking between Valentina and Derek.
