Little Agent Gideon

chapter two

ALENA'S POV

We made it off the Jet and into the Burbank police station. I saw a tall, buff man coming towards the team. Gideon introduced us all to the Chief.

"Hello Agent Davis. I am Agent Gideon. This is SSA Hotchner, Agents Morgan, Prentiss, Jareau. Doctor Reid and Junior Agent Gideon."

He looked shocked, shaking my hand.

"You are Jason's daughter?"

I smiled and nodded

"Well that's a first. It's a pleasure."

Gideon chuckled. The Chief looked roughly forty, he had police uniform on so he mainly worked out in the field instead of with the press. He had an old silver watch on which indicated to me that it had been past down by a relative, he also had a red mark around his ring finger which also indicated that he recently split up with his partner. As he was talking, Reid whispered in my ear

"You gonna ask him?"

I smiled, he was profiling him and noticed the ring mark as well

"Nah, I don't want to be insensitive. Wait, how did you know I wa-?"

"I saw you, your eyes."

Morgan put his arm around both me and Reid

"That's your excuse for starring at her?"

He blushed as I giggled, walking off into the conference room they set up for us. I walked in and saw a bunch of officers, looking at pictures. Gideon started to give a profile

"The man we are looking for is a sexual sadist, mid thirties and has a history with abuse. Maybe experienced abuse as a child."

He gave me a look to take over from him. I cleared my throat and continued his trail

"This man has easy access to these children, these girls. He only takes interest in the girls which means he is essentially abusing them. We believe that he works in the school system, maybe a school janitor or a bus driver. His pattern is a sequence. Every time he abducts a girl, he starts at an age. Right now, he has started at the age of 10. When he abducts the next child, it's every other day and the girl will be a year younger than the previous. The next child to be abducted will be 8 years old. We urge you all to be vigilant, this man is cleaver and dangerous. He is a talker, charming. Has a caring tone, can easily befriend a younger girl."

JJ finished off

"We will get a public profile out as soon as possible, thank you.

As she finished talking and the officers finished taking notes, the Chief came running in.

"Agent, we've discovered a body. They've identified it as Jessie Lewis, the first victim."

We were all shocked, Gideon ordered everyone

"Ok. Morgan and Prentiss, you get Garcia on the phone and start with the victimology. JJ, organise a press conference. Alena, Reid and Hotch, you are with me. We will go to the crime scene. Everyone clear?"

We all nodded and got to work.

AT THE CRIME SCENE

We arrived at the crime scene, there were ambulances and police cars everywhere. The crime scene was in the woods, we walked down a steep hill. I was walking down last, behind Reid. All of a sudden, I caught my foot on a branch on the hill and fell. Reid's reactions were surprisingly quick and caught me in his arms. He chuckled

"Falling for me already?"

I smiled, Gideon looked over and we continued to walk down the hill. When we got to the crime scene, there was a bloody trail. Obvious signs of the Unsub dragging his victims before dumping them. I saw the little girl, faced down. She had blood dripping from her head, the body wasn't dumped long ago. She had red marks all over her body, hand marks. The officers turned her limp body over and I saw her face. Her eye lids were glued open. My face went pale, there were tears in my eyes. Spencer saw and he held my hand, squeezing it. That gave me a sense of relief, my dad put his arm around my shoulder

"It's ok hun, it's your first crime scene. It takes getting use to."

He bent down over the body. I took a good look at the eyes

"He glued the eyes open, he wants them to see their last moments. The last face he wants them to see is his."

I felt a lump at the back of my throat, the urge to throw up but I resisted the urge. Gideon put some gloves on and started to feel the body. First the arms, then down to the legs. He felt around her neck and saw something eye opening

"Look at this."

We all bent down and saw the hand marks around her neck.

"There is signs of resistance. He felt the need to strangle her and then hit her over the head."

Reid said, altering his glasses. I could tell he was still self-conscious about his glasses but they suited him. They looked cu- oh shit. He looked at me, noticing I was starring at him, I quickly whipped my head away. Looking at the trees. The forensic officer came over, Reid asked

"What was the cause of death?"

"Severe head trauma. Asphyxiation also shows."

It was so upsetting to see this girl, helpless, lying on the floor. Tears were in my eyes again, I had to step away from the scene. I was running away and I felt the lump at the back of my throat but this time I couldn't resist it. I bent behind a shrub and threw up, coughing. Reid came up behind me, holding my wavy, brown hair. It was nice how he only met me a day ago and already took care of me. I kept throwing up, half expecting him to walk away but he stayed there. He stroked my head for a while, still holding my hair. I finally got up, wiping my mouth. I felt so embarrassed but I thanked him

"Thank you, you really didn't have to do that."

He smiled

"It's ok, I was the same at my first crime scene."

I was shocked

"Doctor Spencer Reid threw up at his very first crime scene?"

He smiled and I was laughing

"Yeah, yeah. Laugh it up Ali."

I looked confused

"Ali?"

He panicked, going red

"Oh sorry, I tried a nickname. It didn't work, sorry."

I giggled, putting a hand on his shoulder

"Ali is fine, but only you can call me that. But any nicknames about being little Gideon and I am out."

He chuckled

"No, I like little Gideon. Morgan will call you that, same with Emily. In fact, everyone will call you that."

I giggled again, Hotch came up from behind Spencer. I panicked as Reid turned around

"We need to get back to the station, another girl has gone missing."
