F.B.I. Lovin

About to pop

Addie

Just two weeks left until Spencer and I welcome our baby girl. Emma Grace Reid. He helped me pick out the name. I'm pulled out of my thoughts when someone taps on my shoulder. I look up from my paper work and see Hotch. "Yes, Hotch?" I ask. "We have a case." He says handing me a file and helping me stand. We walk into the round table room and I sit next to JJ. Right then Spencer and Derek walk in. Spencer sits next to me and Derek sits next to Rossi. "Okay guys fasten your seat belts this ones a doozy. 25 year old Samantha Grey and 28 year old Charlotte Rey where abducted from the local farmers market in broad daylight in Nashville, Tennessee. Both found a week later in the river." Garcia says pulling up pictures of the water logged bodies. "What's the COD?" Hotch asks. "It doesn't say." Rossi replies. They all look at me. I look at the pictures. "They were poisoned." I conclude. "What makes you think that." Derek asks. "Look around the corners of their mouths. There is blistering. Almost like acid burns." I say. "So, the Unsub pored acid down the girls throats to kill them." JJ says. I nod. "Wheels up in thirty. Addison stay here with Garcia." He says. "Yes, sir!" I salute. He cracks a smile. They leave to get ready and Spencer kisses my cheek. "Come back to me safely." I tell him. He helps me up and hugs me as best as he can with my large belly in the way. We pull apart and I take off my necklace and give it to him. "I know this is cheesy but if you find yourself in a state of panic just look at this necklace and know everything will be okay." It's a simple silver chain with a blue stone charm. It was my grandmothers. He puts it on and tucks it in his shirt. Spencer kisses me softly and goes to get ready. Penelope and I go into her office as she starts pulling up different files. Pretty soon Hotch opens up the video call to go over the case some more. Suddenly there's a beeping noise on Garcia's computer. She opens it. "Oh..." we say at the same time. "What is it?" Hotch asks alarmed. "Another body was just found." Penny says. "She is 35 years old. Her name is Mandy Sorrey. She was only reported missing three days ago." I say. "He's killing faster." JJ says worried. "Garcia let us know if you find something." Hotch says. "We will sir." She says ending the call. "So, now what?" I ask her. "Now we do lots and lots of cyber snooping until we find a connection." She says while typing furiously on her computer. "Wait, who is that?" I ask pointing to one of the many mugshots Garcia found of possible Unsubs. "That is a creepy Mr. Andy Gilrey. He has been charged in the past with child molestation, adultery, and assault of a prostitute." I look at his last name and the last names of the girls. All finish with Rey. "See if he knew any girls by the name of Rey. R-E-Y." I suggest and she types it in and a picture of a lady pop up. Rey Jones. She died right about when the killings started. "She looks so much like these women." We look at each other and do more snooping. It turns out Andy is a science teacher and has access to Hydrochloric Acid. "Addie you're amazing!!" Penny says high-fiving me. She then calls Hotch. "Hotch we know who the unsub is."

"Okay Garcia. You're on speaker."

She nods to me.

"His name is Andy Gilrey. He is a science teacher so he has access to the acid that was used. We found him by the last three letters of his and the victims last names. Rey. It turns out he had a cousin named Rey Jones and she died around the time of the killings. We are sending you all of this information as we speak." I get out.

"What is his current address and can you trace a phone?"

I nod to Garcia and she types and says, "He has a cellphone and it is on. His home address is 345 Courtland Road and his current location is three streets over on Husky. He's moving towards the house as we speak and I am sending the cell number and address to your devices, now!" She presses some more keys.

"Good work you two."

He then hangs up the phone. "Now what?" I ask. "We wait for them to either call because of a dead end, to say one of them has been shot, or that they are on the way safely." She says. "How do you do it, play the waiting game without absolutely freaking out?" I ask rubbing my belly. "I just hope my babies will come home to me okay." She admits and I hug her my little girl kicks at her through my belly and she laughs. "Hey little one." She coos feeling my belly. The baby kicks in reply. We both laugh.

It's about an hour later when Derek calls me.

"Hey. How'd it go?"

"He was definitely the guy. But something happened."

"What?"

"Addie, Spencer got shot."

I put my hand over my mouth to keep myself from screaming. "Is he okay??"

"We don't know yet. He's still in surgery."

"How did he get shot? Where did he get shot?"

"Andy held a gun to this woman's head. Spencer tried to get him to drop the gun. The guy got mad and shot Spencer. In the chest."

"Oh.. my.. gosh...." Tears pore down my face.

"Addie listen to me. He is going to be just fine. I'll stay on the phone with you until we hear anything, okay?"

"Okay." He goes silent for awhile.

"Addie, the doctor just came out. Spencer's going to be okay. One inch to the left and he'd be gone. He'll get to come home in a couple of days. Hotch really wants us to stay, but another case just came up and they need us. He'll need you to come get him."

"How soon do you have to leave?"

"Today. As soon as Spencer wakes up."

"Okay, I'm coming down." We say bye and hang up. The phone was on speaker so Penny heard everything. "I'll call you as soon as I get there." I say hugging her. "Drive safe." She tells me. I leave the office and drive to Nashville.

...

I pull up to the parking lot of the hospital and kill the engine. When I find the team they are outside of Spencer's room. JJ comes up and hugs me. The rest of the team comes over. "How's he doing?" I ask. "He's gonna be okay. They just needed to do some tests to make sure he's recovering okay." Em says. "Is he awake?" I ask her. "Yeah, he's awake." Derek says. The doctor comes out. "You can go in now. But be calm. He's pretty tired." the doc leaves and they go in. "Hey Spence. How you feelin?" JJ asks. "Despite the fact I got shot. I'm okay." He responds. "Well, there's someone here to see you." Dave says waving me in. I walk in and Spencer smiles. "You're here!" He says tiredly. I go to his side and sit in a chair. "I called her. We got called in for another case in Arkansas and they need us, now. So, she's your only way home." Derek says. Spencer holds my hand. "I also wanted to make sure you're okay." I tell him kissing his hand. Hotch comes in after being on the phone. "Guys, we need to go." The team nods and say their goodbyes. "Addie, you were right." He says after they leave. "What about?" I ask. "About the necklace. After I got shot I held on to the necklace and it was like you were there with me. Telling me it was going to be okay." He says showing the necklace that is still around his neck.  "So, how are you feeling?" He asks me still holding my hand. "Like I'm about to pop." We both laugh. I know then, he's gonna be okay.
