"He felt now that he was not simply close to her, but that he did not know where he ended and she began." - Leo Tolstoy
~ "Brother, " Rossi patted her shoulder. ~
Now in the car, Morgan, Rossi, Spencer, and Eden, were all heading to John's home, Rossi filling her in on the details.
Spencer, however, was distracted, shown as he was admiring Eden. The way her eyebrows furrowed in anger as she was being told about this man, the way small lines imitating dimples would show each time Morgan butted in with a joke, the ways her eyes would sparkle each time she looked his way from the sunlight, looking like deep pools of honey he could drown in.
His daydream was sadly cut off by the arrival of John's house. The four got out of the car and started to put on their vests, Eden was struggling-- not the first time. Spencer walked up to her,
"Need help?" she nodded in response and he continued to help her put on the vest. Morgan quickly fished out his wallet and gave Rossi a twenty, something the pair missed. Morgan's phones started ringing, he quickly answered with Hotch speaking on the other side,
"He isn't at his job, he's either at his house or a secondary location, go ahead and enter his home. We'll see what we could do here, " He ordered.
"Will do, " Morgan simply replied, "Reid, you're with me, Rossi, Ellis, go to the back."
Rossi and Eden started jogging to the back as Reid and Morgan got settled on Smith's doorstep. Morgan banged on the door,
"Johnathan Smith! FBI! Open up!"
No answer.
Morgan kicks down the door to see Eden arresting the man on the floor, despite the men's dramatic entrance, she continued to read his rights.
Rossi grabs the man and starts bringing him out of the front door. Eden goes up to Morgan and Reid, flicking Morgan on the forehead,
"The door was unlocked, dingus."
She quickly left out the door to talk to Rossi, Reid was still lightly laughing at her comment as Morgan shoved him and walked out shaking his head.

Johnathan Smith now sits in an interrogation room, despite a lot of the timing at hospitals pointing to him being one of the killers, a confession is necessary.
"Ellis, " Hotch begins, "I'd like you to go in there."
Eden's a bit taken back, "y-yes sir."
"During the interrogation, I'd like you to behave motherly, something he didn't get to have in life. As hard as it sounds, sympathize. He's the submissive partner, he'll talk once anyone, especially a mother figure, let's him confide in them. I would've sent JJ but you fit more of the victimology, not close, but closest we got, understand?"
