(River p.o.v)

I was working away on some food in Spencer's kitchen and I couldn't get my mind off of what's been going on.
'I know something is wrong with him. I just don't know what it could be. I wish my store could actually distract me from that like I'm making it out to be.'
"Hey River." Spence spoke making me relax.
"Yeah?" I asked as I knew the food would be done.
"I need to ask you something."
"Of course" I stated as I began to set the food up.
"Why are you getting calls from the Moon mental institution?" He asked
I froze to my spot as I tried to stop my hands from shaking and I knew he would see, and come over to make sure I was ok.
"How do you know about that?" I asked as I tried to calm myself from the possibility of him knowing.
"I accidentally picked up your phone thinking it was mine. I understand completely if your upset at me for doing that, but I need to know if your ok."
"I gotta go to the store and go through the money books. The food I was making is ready to eat" I told before quickly rushing out.
'I can't believe he knows about the institution. If he knows that then he might know what happened..... he might hate me for it..... I gotta go to the shop and distract myself long enough to think of how to dodge the truth if he doesn't know.... god I hope he doesn't know.'

As I neared my shop I grabbed my phone and called Sniper.
'He is gonna hate me for this!'

"Hello?"
"Hey dude it's me... River. Just wanted to let you know that I'm getting you a clown. How exciting right?"
"What do you mean your getting me a clown?"
"Well you could use them as target practice. Get someone to throw them so you can shoot them. Release some pent up anger you seem to always have."
"No Brains, don't waste your money on buying me clowns to throw so I can shoot them."
"Why not?"
"Because it's a waste of money."
"Well a bit late for that now isn't it. I already brought you six of them, and I must say they are fugly little things."
"Why would you have brought them before seeing if it was ok with me?"
"Shits and giggles."
"Look I gotta go."
"Dealing with more dead people who have turned to bones?"
"Yes I'm dealing with more bones."
"Can you send a picture I wanna see."
"No I will not send you a picture."
"Why not?!"
"I'm hanging up Brains." He told before doing just that.
"Rude!" I exclaimed before walking into my shop.
'At least it cheered me up somewhat.'

(Morgan p.o.v (surprise)

"Reid! Why isn't River picking up her phone?" Hotch asked.
"I wouldn't know why she isn't. She said she was going over the money books last time we talked." He told as he stood with Emily.
"Morgan. Call her shop, she might not be hearing her phone go off."
"On it." I told before walking a bit away from us.
I waited for the phone to be picked up and as soon as I heard it did I began to talk.

"Hey baby girl."
"I don't think you have the right person."
"River?"
"No, Jade. River isn't working today."
"She said she was going over the shops money books."
"She isn't here. I mean she was briefly but then she left again."
"Why didn't she stay?"
"Something about cashing some checks at the bank and also getting more change and what not. Is everything alright with her?"
"Yeah everything is fine. She is actually walking up to us now. Thanks Jade."
"No problem.... who is this?"
"Derek Morgan."
"Oh your Mr.Hunk. Well it was very nice meeting you. Tell River I tell her good luck on the case."
"I will.

I hung the phone up and quickly called Garcia, which is picked up instantly as I moved further away from everyone on the team.

"Ok what's happening? Speak to me."
"Garcia I need you to not call anyone else on the team for this. Can you do that for me baby girl?"
"Of course."
"Have you hacked into the cameras at the bank yet?"
"I was working on that now."
"Can you work on it quicker? I have a suspicion on something but I need to be sure before I tell Hotch."

I heard a lot of tapping on the other end before I heard her cheer.

"Ok I've got in. What do you want to know?"
"Can you see if River is in there?" I told as I lowered my voice
"Why would River be..... oh god."
"Is she Garcia?"
"Yes. She is clear as day to everyone else."
"Ok stay on the line."

"Hey Hotch!" I exclaimed as we  walked off to some spot so no one else could hear.
"What's wrong?"
"Hotch we have a bit of a problem."
"Why what's the problem?"
"River is in the bank."
"When did you find this out?"
"Just now. I called the shop and Jade said she went to the bank. So I had Garcia quickly speed up her hacking to see in the bank and she found River."
"Is she still on the phone?"
"Yeah here." I told as I gave it to her.
Hotch grabbed it and placed it to his ear.
"Garcia I need a favour from you. Can you do that for us?... good. Once Jj and Reid get there you are to not let them leave."
Some members from the swat came over to us which made us realise that they've worked something out.
"We've learnt that a school trip was taking place at the time the bank became robbed." One of them told
"Hotch...."
"He didn't have an excursion today." He told making me let out a sigh of relief.
"We also know there's no casualties yet. But that's all we could learn so far."
"We've also have learnt one of our agents are in there." He told
"What are we going to do about Jj and Reid? Their her best friends. Once they find out she's in their they won't be staying at Penelope's office."
"That's why I told her she can't let them leave." He told before turning back towards the rest of our team. "Jj! Reid! I need you two to head back to base. We need you two to profile them and send us information."
"You sure?" Jj asked
"Yes. Please hurry there now." He told
They quickly left and once they did he called the rest of the team over towards us.
"Have we learnt anything?" Emily asked
"So far no casualties and there's a class field trip in there. Don't worry Jack isn't in there." He told giving them the same result that I did.
"Were you able to get into contact with River?" Rossi asked
"That's the other news we have. She's in the bank."
"Oh god." Emily said as she covered her mouth.
"That's why you sent Jj and Reid to base. So they wouldn't rush in to get to her."
"Exactly. And by the time they find out they won't be able to leave Penelope's room."
'This can not be good for her.'

(River p.o.v)
'I just wanted to cash some checks and now I'm gonna be here for hours.... with my thoughts.... with the dread that Spencer's gonna freak out more now.... shit! Daisy is gonna find out and I'm so fucken dead!'
