The team were fine at the start of the day... Everything seemed fine, you weren't in on time, but you could have just been late.
However, as time passed, and the clock struck noon, everyone began to get a little concerned by your absence.
Hotch, not wanting to overreact, over something that could be just you finally giving in to your exhaustion and sleeping in, got Anderson to go round to your apartment and check on you.
"She wasn't there" Anderson stated as he re-entered the bullpen.
"What do you mean she wasn't there?" Hotch questioned.
"I mean she wasn't there, I found her spare key so I checked inside and the apartment was completely empty" Anderson explained.
"What did her apartment look like?" Spencer questioned. "Did it look like she could be in trouble?"
"Not really. All damages I saw looked old. I mean the apartment is generally not very nice, the building seems to be falling apart... But I did take photos" Anderson mentioned handing the team his phone.
They flicked through his photos grimacing at the awful conditions you were living in. There was mold on the walls and damp spots on the ceiling. Weird holes in the walls that looked like someone had tried to cover them up in the past but failed.
Interestingly, Spencer noticed something intriguing about the bedroom. "Look at this" Spencer instructed the team. "See in this picture, this is one side of the room, it's a mess, there are beers everywhere, men's clothes thrown around, and random holes in the walls..." Spencer pointed to the picture showing everyone all the things he had listed.
"Then you look at the side of the room, which looks almost spotless. You can tell it's Y/ns side, because of the makeup on the dressing table" Spencer pointed out.
"Where are you going with this Reid?" Hotch questioned.
"Oh... Uh... Nowhere... I mean, I just find it interesting how different two sides of one room can be. It's like they live two very different lives... Normal couples work together, if someones cleaning up they clean everything so that the entire apartment looks nice." Spencer explained.
"He's got a point. It seems kind of weird. I don't know what it's got to do with finding Y/n," Emily sighed.
"Garcia, if Y/n isn't here, or at home then she has to be somewhere, go track her cell and let me know what you find?" Hotch ordered, Penelope nodded and hurried away back to her office. "As for you Reid, my office."
