Somewhere To Belong

Chapter 4

It looked like the serial killer community was on vacation because the team spent most of the time filling out paperwork and helping out teams who needed the assistance. It was Thursday afternoon and they were all sitting in the bullpen pretending to work.

Derek Morgan: One more day and then we're home free.

Emily Prentiss: Don't jinx it Morgan.

DM: Nah, not this week. (He smiled)

SR: Nowadays a jinx is a superstition used for bringing bad luck when talking about a future event with too much confidence but in the olden days, it referred to a curse causing bad luck to a certain person or the people around them.

EP: Why do you even know that Reid?

SR: I found the whole concept of the jinx interesting so I researched it.

DM: Only you, Reid. So do you believe in it all?

SR: Well it is fascinating but the science behind it is flawed.

EP: It's not about the science, Reid.

SR: It's always about the science.

Just then Reid's phone started ringing.

DM: Ooh, middle of the week booty call?

SR: ... It's Jack. (He said shaking his head at his friend before getting up)

'''Phone Call'''

J: Spencer?

SR: Yes it's me, Jack.

J: Are you busy right now?

SR: No, I've finished all my work.

J: If you're not busy tomorrow night, can you please come over?

SR: Did you ask your dad because I'm pretty sure your dad wants to spend some time alone with you.

J: I'll ask him but I'm sure he won't mind.

SR: So, may I know why you want me to come over?

J: I need your help with a project we got at school today.

SR: When is it due?

J: Next week Friday.

SR: Okay but only if your dad says it's okay and we don't get a case.

J: Thanks Spence, see you.

SR: Good bye, Jack.

...

Just as he was walking back into the bullpen he saw Hotch coming out of his office.

AH: We got a case. (He says making his way to the Round Table room)

EP: You just had to jinx it didn't you, Morgan.

DM: Sorry.

...

They all went to the Round Table room where Garcia and Hotch briefed them on the case. They found three drown victims in Wichita Kansas.

SR: How can we be sure that they're all connected?

JJ: They're all seventeen.

SR: But they don't go to the same school.

David Rossi: All three of them come from rich families.
