The Lady and the Genius.

Your wrong.

(Spencer p.o.v)

I looked over at River to see she had fallen asleep during the movie and a small smile came onto my lips. I slowly got up and gently placed her down the rest of the way on the couch before I went to get her a blanket and pillow. When I returned to her I saw she curled up more and seemed hurt in her sleep.
'Probably remembering the pain she gave herself today.'
I looked at her arm to see that it was mostly purple which was different from the victims we have seen so far.
'Right again Dr.Finley.'
I stood up and quickly cleaned dinner up before heading to bed myself.

I woke up from my alarm and made my way out to see River still asleep on the couch. I smiled at her holding the pillow tightly before getting ready to head back into work. Once I emerged again I looked over to see her stretching and looked around as she was slightly confused.
"Morning dr.Finley." I said making her look over at me.
"Morning dr.Reid. How did you sleep and have you had coffee because I could really use one?" She asked as she gave a sleepy smile.
"I slept fine and I will be having one when I get to work so I can't join you."
"Ah. Smort." She said as she tapped her head twice.
"I will however walk you to your apartment before I head off though." I told as she stood.
"Thank you. Man your couch is hella comfy." She told.
"Yes well you do sleep there a lot."
"Cause it's comfy." She told as we headed out of my place.
I walked her to to her place which was a floor down from mine and we gave a quick hug before separating ways. I headed to work and when I got in I headed straight for the coffee machine. I began to make my usual when Morgan walked in to make one as well.
"How'd you sleep pretty boy?" He asked
"Quite good actually. Watched the first Evil dead movie with a friend last night and had Chinese food for dinner with them."
"Got some action did we?"
"No not at all. We are just friends."
"If you say so pretty boy. Also Hotch wants us in the bullpen in 5." He told before walking off.
'I may have said too much.'
Once I had finished making my coffee I headed to the bullpen to see everyone else was there.
"Does anyone have any sort of leads yet?" Rossi asked.
"It's hard to say really. Whoever the unsub is they have been careful not to leave any marks for us to know who it could be." Prentiss told
"They could have ocd and ocd for symmetry." I told having them all look at me.
"Care to elaborate?" Hotch asked
"Well all the victims look alike in the hair colour and length. Showing that they may be attached to someone at some point who had those looks. Also if you look at all the victims they are placed in the same position and close to locations that share a similar characteristic with one another. And if my theory is correct about them having to do with symmetry then there are only four more victims till they are satisfied since the number 8 is perfectly symmetrical both ways, unless they aim for 88, or 888, or 8888 or...." I was cut off when Hotch put a hand up to signal for me to stop.
"When did you figure this out?" He asked
"Last night when I was at home."
"Before or after the friend?" Morgan asked with a smirk.
"Before. And my social life is not needed information for the case."
"Do they share any similar trates?" JJ asked.
"Only hair length but nothing else. She also knows how to defend herself so she is safe from the unsub." I explained.
"That's all we need to know. Now that we know this information about the ocd part it could help narrow it down."
"Also the chain was most likely not what killed them." I told
"Where was all this information yesterday?" Prentiss asked.
"It takes me time to think sometimes and my friend had a bruise from a chain that she accidentally wrapped around too tight for a type of training she does. And the bruising she had was different from the ones on the victims." I informed hoping they wouldn't notice the lie I made.
"Spence knows some weird people it seems." Jj told.
"We could ask his friend if they know anything and to compare the bruises to one another." Morgan suggested.
"I could get her to send a photo right now if you guys like. She should be at work right about now." I told.
"While boy genius gets the photo, Agent Morgan go to Garcia and get her to find anyone who suffers from ocd in the area. Everyone else try and find out what you can and Agent Reid." Rossi said
"Yes?"
"Make sure your friend is careful of her surroundings. We never know if he may go off book."
"Yes sir." I told before heading to my desk to text her.

"Hey Dr.Finley. Can I ask for a favour?"
"Of course Dr.Reid. What is it that you need?"
"Can you send a picture of your bruise from yesterday?"
"Of course. To do with the case or just baffled by my art?"
"Case. Also baffled but more for the case. I've also been given an order to make sure you are aware of your surroundings since they could go off book at any time."
"Of course Dr.Reid. Wouldn't want your favourite book owner to wined up dead now do we."
"That is true."
Image sent.
"Thanks for the picture Dr."
"Anytime Dr.Reid. Also new shipments of books came in. Come by after work if you can."
"Will do."

I saved the picture and printed it out. Once it was fully out I went over to Hotch and handed him the picture. He made his way to the board and placed it with the others to compare.
"You are right. They were done after death which means that they are strangled with something else. But they don't show any marks."
"Could be chemical asphyxiation. Caused by cyanide, hydrogen sulfide and most commonly carbon monoxide. We would have to test for them to know exactly which one it is." I told.
"Jj! Go get a toxic report and have them look for cyanide, hydrogen sulfide or carbon monoxide."
"On it." She told before rushing off.
'I really hope River will be ok.'
"Sir." Prentiss said as she stood from her desk.
"Yes?"
"Another body has been found." She told
"Reid, get agent Morgan and agent Rossi. Prentiss send me the location and let them know we are on the way."
"Will do sir."
I rushed to collect Morgan and Rossi before heading to the car.
'I hope he doesn't go off book.'
