Tell me something I don't know (ON HOLD)

Chapter 17

The team was sat in the New York precinct, looking at a map of the inside of the Red Room club. Another victim had been found, Nina didn't know the girl this time but had made a few calls to some of the dancers she used to work with and found out that this girl had started working there three months ago and was indeed in a relationship. With this information the team was able to deliver the profile.

"Were looking for a male ages 25-35" Hotch states nodding at Derek to continue.

"Right, the unsub is probably a customer or employee of the club. He targets dancers in relationships." Derek starts explaining to the Police.

"This man probably doesn't agree with the fact that these women should be in relationships and only sees them as sexual objects." Spencer adds, "This can be seen in the violent manner the unsub kills his victims."

"We have an in to get into the Red Room, we will be sending in three of our agents undercover to canvas, the rest of us will be outside waiting for their signal." Hotch states.

Everybody moves out to get ready. The team stays behind.

"Right Nina, you said you've made contact with the manager?" Hotch questions.

Nina nods," Yeah I told her that I wanted to do a show for my fiancee sort of a Bachelor party type gig. We've got a slot tonight."

"Alright, We're gonna send in Morgan and Rossi as backup, Reid you'll be the fiancee." Hotch continues to give out instructions. Spencer and Nina hadn't gotten a chance to really talk since the flight with everything had been so hectic. Turning to Spencer she says, "We should head there now, Miss Red wanted to meet my 'Fiancee' and that way were already in there by the time people arrive" She smiles at him. Hotch nods at this "We'll be there in two hours" he says. They step out and get into one of the SUVs.

After a few minutes of driving in awkward silence Spencer finally speaks up, "I don't know how to tell my mother I'm engaged after only one date." he gives her a small smile.

Relief floods Nina, she was happy Spencer wasn't being distant anymore. She giggles at his words. "Well, you move fast" She wiggles her hand with her 'Engagement ring.' on it.

"Sorry about being weird before." He adds, "I Just wasn't sure what to say."

"It's okay, Spen. It's a pretty big surprise to find out your girlfriend used to strip for rich crime lords." Nina blurts out without thinking, a sudden spike of anxiety runs through her. She's just called herself Spencer's girlfriend knowing full-well they hadn't even talked about being official yet.

Spencers cheek tinge pink, slowly placing his hand on hers and squeezes it. "Yeah" his voice cracks a little with nerves, "It was."

They both smiled widely at each other, it was nice to have a label for what they were.

Arriving in front of the club Spencer and Nina hop out the car and walk to the big burly security guards at the door. Nina smiles at them and tells them that Red is expecting her. After a brief talk to whoever was at the other end of the Bouncers walkie talkie they were allowed in. A flurry of red feather boas and curly hair rushes up to them as soon as they step in, this was the infamous Miss Red.

"Scarlet My darling." The older drag queen engulfs Nina in her arms. "My goodness it is so good to see you again and ENGAGED." She squeals.

"Hi Red." was Ninas muffled response.

Spencer, feeling a little out of place gives a small wave which catches the woman's attention.

"Oh.My.God. You must be Spencer, Scarlett told me all about you I'm glad she's found a nice man to settle down with." She pinches Spencers cheeks causing him to wince. "And he's handsome too." She gushes. Thankfully Nina comes to his rescue and pulls him away from her.
