Let Me Help You- Criminal Minds: Reid and Adam Jackson

Chapter 29: Longest Day of Our Lives...

When they arrived at the Turner residence Nelson’s mother Patricia let them in.

H: Good morning Ma’am, we were wondering if your son Nelson is here.

P: Why are you asking?

R: Ma’am, we think that your son may be the next target of the man who has been killing teenage boys and dumping them around town.

P: What?

H: Ma’am we just want to make sure that he is here and get him into protective custody before the killer can get to him.

P: Why would you think the killer would want Nelson?

H: We found his picture along with a couple of the pictures of the teenage boys who have already been murder.

P: Uh, I... I. Nelson is in his room.

R: May please go have a look Ma’am?

P: Okay.

They went up to Nelson’s room and he wasn’t there. The window was open and the food he had been eating was lying on the ground.

H: Reid, tell the others to start setting up a perimeter for about five blocks and start doing a thorough search of the streets, talk to neighbours and get Garcia to search for cameras in this area.

R: Yes sir. (He said running down the stairs to go brief the rest of the team. Everyone started work immediately calling in police to come and help them with the search)

Mrs Turner started crying and Hotch stood and comforted her waiting until she was calm enough to start with his questioning.

H: When was the last time that you saw Nelson?

P: Uh, I think about an hour ago when I brought up his lunch for him.

H: Was there anything off about his attitude or was there anything off about the room.

P: Uh... (She said trying to remember) I remember asking him why his window was open.

H: And why was that? I mean it’s pretty normal to have your window open.

P: Not when he has flu and its cold outside it’s not.

H: Okay, did he close his window when you asked him that?

P: He said he’d do it and I told him to do it then but he said that he’d do it as soon as he was done eating. I should have insisted that he close it that time. (She said starting to blame herself)

H: I think Morris was already in your house.

P: What? What do you ... (She stopped when her husband came into Nelson’s room) He took him, Mike. He took our son. (She says going into her Husband’s arms)

M: Please find our son, sir. Please.

H: My team and I will try our best.

M: Please.

H: Can we please leave this room so we can have forensics confirm our suspicions?

M: Let’s go Patty.

Hotch left Mike and Patricia in the living room and went outside where Rossi was busy talking to the CSI’s.

H: You guys can go up. I want that whole room processed okay.

CSI’s: Yes sir.

H: How far are we with the search?

Ro: Nothing so far. None of the neighbours have seen anything and Garcia hasn’t had any luck with cameras but she is still searching.
