Unveiling Hearts: a love beyond duty

PART 6

SPENCER

"Do you know where the other are?" She questioned but I shook my head. "Ok, let's go to the lobby. Hurry up, Smart Ass!" 

We ran through the corridor and hurried down the stairs to find ourselves in the entrance. 

"Hey there, kid. Nice to see you again. We need SSA Aaron Hotchner's and Jennifer Jerau's room number." she told the young man on the other side of the counter. 

He clicked a few buttons and responded immediately. "The first is 450 the second 345" 

She nodded, turning to me. "I get the girls, you call the others, Derek included." 

"We meet here in fifteen." Said this we rushed, both in separate directions. I got out my phone to give Derek a call while running. 

"Hey, Reid. You changed your mind on some Pad Thai?" He laughed 

"Derek! Sofia found the unsub. Lobby in fifteen, we might be still in time to save a family." I blurted.

"See you there in ten" and I closed the call.

I finally arrived at room 450, and began banging.

"Hotch! Rossi! Open up!" I added to the knocking and the door swung open, making me almost hit Rossi.

"Reid, what is your problem? It's ten pm, don't you sleep?" he asked. Angry.

"Sorry, to disturb. Sofia found the unsub. If we move know we can save another family. We'll explain everything, but lobby in fifteen." 

A smile formed on his face and he nodded before closing the door. I went back to my room to change in some appropriate work outfit, get my revolver, Id and head back to the lobby to find the whole team waiting for me.

"PD is ten minutes away. I already informed detective Harper. We'll have a briefing there." Everyone headed to the cars and drove as fast as they could. Once we all settled in the room that they had given us, me and Sofia started talking. 

"We found him through the medical prescriptions to both the parents and the kids. He prescribes medicines he creates in witch he adds the poison to." she stated, leaving me space to speak. 

"We believed he entered the houses to kill, but he enters while the victims are dying or even postmortem to engrave the pentacle. And look at his victims. We already checked with Garcia, his name is John Silvers. He's a pediatrician so he can prescribe to both adults and kids. Garcia can give us more of a backstory." 

Emily logged in a compute and the blonde appeared. 

"Nighty night, everyone. So, I did a little background check on our little John and Sofia was wright. His parents died in a car crash due to a drunk driver. Since there were no next of kin he was sent in a foster home. He filed and a restraining order against the foster parents saying that he was abused both physically and sexually. He later on became a pediatrician and is currently working at the Pros Medical Studio. And, oh, his son died two weeks ago. Apparently some kid beat him pretty bad. later that same week the wife filed for divorce." 

"Here we have the stressor. The beating of his son and the subsequent death woke in him the memories of the beating he had to grow up to. He decided to copy James Adam, the belladonna killer of 1987, due to their common past to vengeance this son's death . If he follows the same timeline, he poisoned another family." Sofia said, taking a breath before continuing. "When they searched James Adam's house they found notebooks full of information about his victims. He stalked them. I'd bet you he does the same. 

"Garcia, do we have an address?" Hotch asked.

"We have two. One of his office, one of his house. I'm sending them in."

"Prentiss and Morgan, you go to the office. Reid and Martini, you go to the house. The rest of us will try to find the family based on common points and if one of the two teams find the name first we'll reach the house."

"Hotch, I don't have a gun. I'll be of no use." Sofia's voice came out as a whispered, almost embarrassed.

"You passed you gun qualifications and FBI training a few years ago, am I right?" he asked her. I didn't know she went through training.

"Yes, but-"

"That's enough for me." Hotch poked his head out of the briefing room and asked for a gun and holster and once it was in his hands he handed them over. "Now go."

 We all nodded, getting ready. Silver's apartment wasn't far. Once we parked I handed Sofia a vest. She secured it and followed me to the entrance, revolver in hand. 

"FBI! Open the door." I screamed, hoping not to have to kick down the door. Honestly, I didn't even think I'd be able to.

"Move" she whispered.

"What?" 

"I said move" I did as she said leaving her the space in front of the door. 

With just one kick she swung it open and we entered. Well that was interesting. The house was dark, no one home. We turned the lights on to reveal a meticulously clean and organized home. Everything in that space had i'ts own place, and not a single grain of dust. 

"We don't have time to roam around. He's a copycat. Sadic and obviously suffers from OCD. Where would he keep his journals?" she asked out loud. 

"Adams kept his under his bed." i reflected and we hurried to the bedroom. 

"Who is gonna stick their hand under a bed we aren't sure it's clean even though it probably is?" she asked me "Last to touch nose!" 

I didn't even have enough time to realize what she said that the index finger was on the tip of her pointy nose. 

"Cheat" I said before getting on my knees and searching for something. I pulled out a box that i dumped on the bed. Once the lid was off there were six different black notebooks. 

"Bingo. One of this is the next family." we quickly went through them until I identified the the new names. Sofia already ha Garcia on speaker. 

"Garcia. find the address. The family is the Stuarts. Two foster kids. Emma, the oldest, and Diego. They have a golden retriever named Candy. Do I need to to on?"

"Nope, address already sent." 

I looked at Sofia standing in front of me. "How far?" I asked her. 

"They'll get there before us, but we can try. Leave everything here, I adverted local PD. They are on their way. Come on." we exited the house and began to rive to the address Garcia sent. 

We arrived just in time to see John Silvers getting lead out of the house in handcuffs. We rushed out the car to check how the family was but JJ intercepted us. 

"Hey. We got him. Arrived just in time to administer the antidote. They'll get better." She smiled and left. 

I let myself release a breath I didn't even know I was holding. Sofia was leaning against the car, smiling. Quite a beautiful smile. Suddenly, we got both got a text from Hotch.

Go rest. In the lobby by half passed eight tomorrow morning. Good job everyone.
