The Heart Of A Genius (A Criminal Minds Fan Fic)

Chapter 4: Solving the Case and Becoming A Potter Head

~Mercy POV~

I took out my phone and dialed Garcia's number

"Hey Garcia!"

"Hey there my sexy genius what do you need?" She asked, I gave a small laugh

"I need you to check the town's records for any accidents involving our victims and the school." I asked

"Okie Dokie my love, I just checked the towns records and your beautiful, beautiful brain of yours was right 10 years ago our victims allegedly caused a fire in an abandon building during their senior year graduation party." She explained

"Were there any casualties?" I asked

"Yes there were, his name is Robert Taylor he was an English foreign exchange student. He came in the hospital with 3rd degree burns covering half his face. Doctors say it's a miracle he survived. Also last week he was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer he only has 2 months to live," Garcia explained

"Are you able to track down his address?" I asked

"Already sent it to you and the rest of the team."

"Thanks Garcia!" I thanked her

"Your welcome sugar!" I hang up and made my way to the conference room

"I just talked to Garcia she told me that all of the victims were allegedly involved in setting a fire during their senior party. A man named Robert Taylor survived but with 3rd degree burns covering half his face. A few months ago he was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer." I explained

"That must have been the trigger he found out he was going to die and he wanted revenge for what they did to him." Rossi guessed

"Garcia just sent us the address let's go." Hotch ordered.

I sat in the back seat of the car along with Spencer, JJ was in the front seat along with Morgan who was driving the car. I nervously loaded my gun

"Are you nervous Mercy?" Morgan asked

"A little this is my first time going after a bad guy." I admitted

"Its ok just stay calm and flow protocol and you'll be fine." JJ reassured me, I smiled. In a matter of minutes we arrived at the house.

"Morgan, Reid, JJ and Mercy I want you to take the front while Emily, Rossi and I will take the back." Hotch ordered. Morgan, Reid, JJ and I made our way to the front door

"FBI OPEN THE DOOR!" Morgan shouted when he didn't hear a response he kicked the door open and we entered the house.

We made our way to the kitchen that's where we saw a bloody butcher knife "I guess this our guy." JJ whispered, we made our way to the living room and there he was. I pointed the gun at him

"FBI put your hands up!!" I shouted, He turned around and he was holding a gun to his face

"Don't do this man!" Morgan shouted

"Why shouldn't I look at me!! I have the face of a monster and now I one. I can't take this anymore the humiliation the fear and the pain. Don't say you know what I'm going though no one know what I'm going through." I stepped forward and placed my gun on the ground and raised my hands

"You're right physically no one knows the pain you're going through. But emotionally I do when I was 19 my twin sister was raped and killed, they didn't find the guy. The rage that filled my body when I found out what he did to her all I could think about was finding this guy and putting a bullet in his head. But then I realized that rage isn't the best option and you still have that option at least give the families some peace." I took another step forward, he was close to tears
