Lacuna [Book 2]

fifteen; like together?

"It's easy to see why he set's fires down here." Emily said as Derek, Sofia and I got out of the black SUV. "It's isolated. I mean, if I was setting people on fire I'd want the same thing." I said squinting my eyes through my sunglasses and before Derek could say anything a voice cut us off.

"I never thought the FBI would be here for a fire. "A voice said and I turned around and saw a man walking to us. "I'm Al Garner with the DFD." He said and Emily gave him a smile.

"I'm Agent Derek Morgan, this is Agent Emily Prentiss and Agent Hadley LaMontagne and her intern Sofia Wilson." Derek said introducing us and I stuck my hand out to shake his. He gave us a nod and a smile.

"Has the police increased their patrols in the Rivertown District?" Emily asked Garner shook his head."I wish, but the city's reeling from budget cuts." He said and I nodded, understanding.

He opened the door and we walked to the back to see the crime scene. We went back to the black room and I sighed, taking off my sunglasses, seeing the room completely destroyed.

I looked over at Emily and began speaking. "Hey, I'm going to go see if I could be more useful somewhere else. I'm going to call Anthony to see if he can give me something. Sofia can stay here." I said and she nodded and I walked out of the Factory.

I walked into the fire department holding bags of food and I walked in and saw Spencer, Rossi and Hotch around the table. "Where's Alyssa?" I asked looking around and Rossi nodded in a direction. "Her and Sofia are having a conversation. Have you called Anthony?" He asked and I nodded.

"Yeah, I asked him about burned bodies because I don't really find them amazing. He told me it's pretty hard to burn a body. So the UnSub must've tried a couple of times to burn the vic." I said and Hotch nodded and looked at Rossi. "We're going to have to talk to his wife." He said and the two men stood up. I placed the food down on the table and I looked up at Spencer.

"Hey, so Gemma has Ellie now. She's going to drop her off at the office later." I said and he nodded and stood up to stretch. "Okay. I left the house key with Garcia." He said and I nodded. I grabbed a fry from my bag of food and I looked at him.

"We should turn that room into a guest room." I said and he walked over to me and grabbed on of my fries. "And the other one we could have as a room..." He said trailing off and I raised an eyebrow looking at him. "A room...? For what?" I asked and he shrugged and grabbed another fry. "I-I don't know. Maybe... for the future...?" He asked his cheeks turning pink and I laughed, still having no idea what he was talking about.

"A room for?" I asked and he shrugged. "May-maybe another kid..." He said trailing off and I furrowed my eyebrows. "Like together?" I asked and he nodded. "Yeah. Maybe when we're both ready give Ellie a brother... or a sister." He said and I gave him a toothy smile, before I could say anything my phone went off and I looked at the contact ID and it read Ellie's.

"Hi, Hadley." She said, and I smiled and put her on speaker. "Hey sweetie. How was school?" I asked and she sighed. "It was good. I met a girl. She was nice. And they're having soccer tryout's next week, but I'm not sure if I want to try out." She said and I smiled. "You should. You might have fun. I played sports in highschool." I said and Spencer pitched in. "I coached basketball." He said and Ellie gave a small chuckle.

"Okay, I'm going to eat now. I just wanted to call. Hope you guys get home soon for Halloween." She said and I smiled. "Okay, remember bedtime is at 10." I said and she hung up agreeing with the time I gave her.

"See. You don't have to worry. Ellie's doing fine." Spencer said and I rolled my eyes. "I'm still made at you for taking my phone." I said and he gave me a chuckle and left the room.

The case ended quickly and we were on the flight home. I was excited to get back to Virginia- back to Ellie with Spencer. Spencer decided to cancel both of his things that he wanted to go to so he could spend time with Ellie and I- which I told him he didn't have to do.

Ellie dressed up as a Flapper which led to Spencer info dumping- and explaining what Flapper's really were. But Ellie didn't understand most of it. Which was good, since I didn't want to explain why the men back then called them prostitutes.

Derek also went out with us and he dressed up as a guy from the Roaring 20s to match with Ellie. We bumped into Hotch and Jack and Jack was dressed up as Hotch for Halloween which was adorable all together.

When the night had ended, we were back in our house in the living room, watching a movie. I had my feet sprawled across Spencer's lap. Ellie had her head resting on Spencer's shoulder as the two of them were sleeping on the couch. I nudged him and he moved slightly and looked at me, groggily. "What time is it?" He asked his voice raspy. I looked over at the clock and then back to Spencer. "12:37." I whispered and he nodded and moved his hand under Ellie. "I'll bring her upstairs." He said and I nodded and watched as he carried the girl up the stairs. I cleaned up the living room and turned off the TV. I walked back into our shared room and changed into some comfortable clothes. 

Spencer walked in with his hair messy and sticking up everywhere. He didn't bother changing as he plopped onto the bed. I laughed and then soon after I heard his soft snores, I laughed and put the blanket over him, as he slept. My phone dinged and I picked it up and looked to see who texted me, but all I saw was an unknown number. I clicked the bar and read the message, my hear dropping.

unknown number: i know who you are. and i'm coming. this won't end well.

 It read and and I gulped, deleting the message, hoping that it was just some hoax a kid was playing on me.
