Prompt: After a brief encounter with Spencer, you are the witness to a crime, and who is there to question you about the events? None other than the boy genius.

Scanning the shelves you receive a text from your boss

Y/N Thank you for your extra work today, Monday I have asked Mr. Johnson to fill in for your class. Take the day off you earned it.

Smiling at your phone, you thought, you loved working as a teacher but it was great to have a long weekend. You spent the past week working incredibly hard preparing for the school fundraiser event, thankfully the school board was very kind to let you have an extra day off for your work.

Thinking about the uneventful weekend ahead of you, books begin piling up in your arms.

Everything from Bradbury to Jane Austen to even children's books by Ann M. Martin for your students. As you look up from the pile of books you spot a tall man with messy hair, who had almost as many books in his hands. He was handsome

Should I talk to him? You ponder in your mind

I mean what's the worst that could happen? He laughs at me? I guess I probably won't see him again. You continue to think

"Good reading choice" You say standing beside him as he holds a copy of war and peace

"Thanks, it's great, have you read it?" He turns looking at the pile of books in your arms

"Years ago, it's been a while"

"I've read it a few times but I gave my copy to a friend, I thought it was about time to pick up a copy for myself" The man smiles at you

"That's certainly an eclectic style of books you have there. Bradbury and children's books?" He laughs

"Yeah, I like to get some deep reading in then relax with a good copy of the babysitters club" laughing, he looks slightly confused, feeling awkward you state

"I'm a teachers, these are for my students" you hold up the children's books "and these are for me" pointing to the other books

"You were joking, sorry... I wasn't sure" He stands there awkwardly, you let out a small sigh

"Well, enjoy your reading, and have fun re-reading War and Peace" you turn to walk away

"Hey, here" he lays the book on top of your pile "re-read it, you might get something out of it the second time around" he smiles and walks away

After paying for the books you go sit in your car

"Damnit, y/n you didn't even get his name, why are you so awkward" you mutter to yourself starting the car and driving home.

That evening you decide to run to the nearest corner store to get a bag of chips before you begin a movie. The store looked empty, except for two cars, as you parked along the street you see a man entering the store alone, you feel a bad vibe from him, unable to explain it you decide its best to sit in the car until he comes back out. Waiting about five minutes the man follows a woman and her child out of the store, a split second later the woman and child are missing. You scan the area from inside the car, as the man's truck begins to speed off.

"Was she just kidnapped" you say with wide eyes and reach for your phone dialling 911

"Hi my name is y/n y/l/n i think i just witnessed a kidnapping of a woman and child" the man on the other lines begins to speak

"One second ma'am I am putting someone from the FBI on the phone."
"FBI? What-" you get cut off

"Hello, I am agent David Rossi with the FBI, can you tell me about the man you seen"
