It was now the next morning, and Ryan,Rossi, and Morgan met in the lobby. "Is Reid still asleep or something?" Ryan asked after he arrived to not see Reid there. Morgan shook his head, "I don't know." He replied. Then the elevator opened and out came Reid. "Good morning." Ryan greeted. "Morning." Reid greeted back. He walked up to them with a yellow envelope in his hand.

"This was left in my room last night." Reid said, holding the envelope up. Ryan took the envelope and took out the contents. It was a mug shot and paperwork. "Gary B. Micheals." Ryan read off the mug shot. He handed it to Rossi, who looked at it along with Morgan.

"Was the envelope dropped off at the front desk first?" Rossi asked. "Nope, it went straight to my room." Reid responded while shaking his head. "So, They knew what room you were in." Rossi deduced. "I do have to admit, the timing of this is a little suspicious." Morgan said.

Reid nodded, "Yeah. An hour after I see my father, we're handed another suspect." He said. "But not a bad one." Ryan said. He then looked at Reid, "You think you knew this guy?" He asked. "I don't know. I think so, but I'm not sure." Reid responded. "I--I--no, I don't know." He stuttered out further.

"Exposed himself to a minor." Rossi read off the reports. "That's a precursor to molestation." Ryan said. "And murder. We should take a closer look at this guy." Morgan said. His phone then rang. "It's Garcia." He informed once he looked at caller I.D. He answered the phone. "Yeah, talk to me, baby girl." Morgan said into the phone.

"I'm not interrupting boy time at crazy horse 2, am I?" Garcia playfully asked. "You know that's not my thing." Morgan replied. "Or mine." Ryan said. Garcia giggled, "Ryan baby, that's not exactly a surprise." She said. Prentiss chuckled a little behind her. "I'm more for in-room entertainment." Morgan said.

"I can't help but I do give a good phone." Garcia said. Hotch gave Garcia a look while Emily rolled her eyes. Ryan winced, "TMI Garcia." "Oh don't be such a prude Ryan." Garcia responded. "Have you met him?" Emily asked. "I heard that." Ryan said into the phone. "You were meant too, my friend." Emily told.

Morgan laughed, "Let me hear what you got." He said, getting them back to the case. "Reid, we've been all up in your father's business." Garcia informed. "What'd you find?" Reid asked. "Well, let me tell you first what I did not find. No kiddie porn, no membership to illicit websites, no dubious emails, no chat room history." She explained.

"What about his finances?" Reid asked. "We went back 10 years." Hotch spoke up. "No questionable transaction that we can find." Emily then spoke, "Well, he did buy a ticket to see Celine Dion 6 months ago. But I think we can overlook that."

"He's smart. Is it possible he kept things under the table?" Reid asked. "Well, of course. But from what we can tell, Reid. he doesn't fit the profile." Hotch said. "We can tell you other things about him, If you want to know." Emily said. Reid nodded, "I'm listening." He said. Ryan could see that Reid wasn't exactly buying the fact that his father was looking less and less like the unsub.

"He's a workaholic. He actually logs more hours than we do." Emily said. Ryan scoffed, "And here I thought that wasn't possible." Ryan said. "Tell me about it. He makes decent money, but he doesn't spend a lot of it. He has a modest house. He drives a hybrid. He doesn't travel much. He stays away from the casinos. Um, and according to his veterinary bills, he has a very sick cat. " Emily explained further.
