i was playing a game of chess with rossi when i noticed jaiden sitting by herself on the couch, i stare at her for a few moments until i notice rossi saying my name "spencer?"... "reid" i fix my focus off jaiden and onto rossi "uh what?" i ask flustered as i was caught staring.

"your turn" rossi says to me then turning around, i knock his king down "checkmate" i say giving a little smile at him and look at what everyone's doing, morgan talking to JJ about the case, prentiss reviewing her notes, hotch asleep next to morgan facing the other way and jaiden..still sitting alone, now looking out the window.

i stand up, walk toward jaiden and sit next to her "studies show that the odds of being in a plane crash are about one in 1.2 million flights and surprisingly 95.7 percent survive the crash." i say causing jaiden to turn around and stare at me.

she then says "really? tell me more." she looks intrigued and interested in what i have to say, most people either ignore me, are confused, or tell me to stop. "typically sitting in the back of the plane is the safest place to sit incase of a crash and most plane crashes happen within the first three minutes of taking off and the last eight minutes of the flight prior to landing."

her eyes grow big and she says "next time i'm on a plane i'll be sitting in the back." she's giving off a little chuckle. "that's really interesting, spence." i smile at the nickname and say "yeah with an IQ of 187, i have a habit of remembering everything i've read."

"and i have a habit of forgetting everything i read, sometimes" she smiles. i like her personality, she seems calm yet nervous, it's her first day on the job, i can tell she's strong-stomached which is good to have in this field of work.

"should we go over the case?" jaiden asks pulling out her notes and opening to the first page "uh yeah sure" i stand up going next to rossi grabbing my notebook. he smiles at me and says "go get 'em" i was confused with his remark and sat back down next to jaiden.

"so the girls were abducted and there was an X where they were taken, most likely drawn by the unsub to mark where the crime happened" jaiden said, flipping through the first and second page of her notebook.

"each of the girls were wearing purple dresses and had pigtails." i said reading my notes "maybe the unsub had a daughter who suddenly left or died?" jaiden suggested "i don't think so, maybe he works with kids and had a special connection."  "hmm, maybe a principal or a nanny?" she asked.

"no, the unsub doesn't like to be in control or be overwhelmed" i say looking around "so why kidnap and murder? with a kidnapped kid, you're bound to be overwhelmed just to keep them hidden" she says looking at me "yes, but there has to be two possibly three unsubs"

she gasped and scrambled to get the pages with notes "karla johnson was taken approximately 5:30pm on tuesday, july 3rd and was found dead sunday, july 8th. what's the other three girls names?" jaiden asked writing down notes. "oh um scarlett faire, ella monet, and isabel downs." i say to her
and she writes down the names i gave to her.

"so scarlett was taken from galveston, ella was arlington and so was isabel, but was the dresses and pigtails the MO?" hotch has waken up and checked the time left until we land "we're landing now." hotch says gathering his things and sitting back down in front of rossi.

"we'll talk more about the case once we land." i said to jaiden, closing my notebook and placing it inside my crossover bag. the plane had landed, jaiden plus the team and i had gotten off when hotch said "morgan and prentiss go to the police department and find out what you can. rossi and wilson go to the crime while reid, JJ and i will go to the hotel and set up."

i walk next to JJ while the rest of the team besides hotch go their separate ways.
