BAU

Chapter 3

After calling the detectives in charge of the cases in both cities, I booked a flight to Quantico for Thursday night. Then I would only have to take one day of work and I could work on the angles I needed to convince the team they needed to take this case.

When I landed I grabbed my overnight bag and went outside to find a cab. Upon arriving at the motel I decided to stay at I glanced over the file unable to sleep, knowing that in a little more than a week another murder will occur in Detroit and then our guy will come back up to Canada.

The next morning I showered, got dressed, grabbed something to eat from a diner, and headed to the FBI headquarters. After answering a few questions and receiving a visitor’s pass, I got on the elevator and headed up to the floor where BAU set up shop. The minute I got of I ran into my younger brother Dr. Spencer Reid.

“Hey Spence.” I greeted him. “Please tell me you guys aren’t working on a case.”

“Hey Thunder, what are you doing here?” He asked, completely ignoring my question. Thanks bro.

“I took the day off to see you guys.” I replied for two reasons. One, I just wanted to keep him in suspense. And two, I wanted to see how fast he would figure it out without me saying it.

He studied my face for a minute. “Thunder if you think you have a case for us you know the rules.”

I grinned. Thirty seconds, not bad, but still a little slow for boy genius. “Yes, brother mine, I do know the rules. I already called the officers in charge of the investigations and they are welcoming all the help they can get. And this Canadian case may have a connection to a case in Detroit.”

He nodded. “Then I guess you were on your way to talk to Hotch.”

“Yep. But I’ll hopefully see all of you in the briefing room later.” I said before waving goodbye and heading to Hotch’s office. I knocked on the door and when he responded I poked my head in. “Long time, no see.”

“Thunder. What are you doing here? Didn’t get tired of SRU, did you?” He asked seeing me.

I laughed. “No,” I said sitting down. “I think I found a case for you guys.”

He closed the file he was looking at when I came in. “Let’s hear it.”

I launched into my story detailing the murders in both cities and the timeline. The more I talked the more convinced I became. If I had any doubts about this case they were all gone by the time I finished telling the story to Hotch. When I finished I leaned back in my chair, watching him trying to gauge what his reaction would be.

After a few minutes of thought he reached his decision. “I’ll want to call the investagtiors in both locations myself, but I think you’ve got something .” He said.

I smiled and rattled of the phone numbers. While I waited for him to finish the calls I headed to the bull pen. I was immeditaly spotted my Morgan. “Hey Vegas. Get tired of being on the SWAT Team?” He teased.

“Not a chance Morgan. And we’re not a SWAT Team. We’re SRU which is like a SWAT Team, but way cooler because we’re trained in profiling.”

“Then what are you doing here?” Prentiss asked.

“Spencer didn’t tell you?” I asked confused.

“Nope. All he said is that you were here.” Morgan said.

“I think I found a case for you guys.”

“I’m not surprised with how nosy you are.” Rossi piped in walking over to our little gathering.

“All that aside,” Morgan saud trying to get back on track. “What’s the case?”

Before I could reply Hotch called us. “Guys Thunder’s brought us a case. Briefing room now.”
