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

Chapter 22: Stranger Than Fiction

~Mercy POV~

Boom. Boom. Boom that's the sound I heard whenever my fist collided with the punching back. It's been a long time since I worked out and after what happened in the fight ring I decided I needed to hit the gym. I put on my head phone and aggressively punched and kicking the punching bag. I let out a sigh as I heard my phone ring

"Dr. Mercy Johnson!" I hear someone laugh at the other end of the phone I recognize that laugh ...it was Spencer.

"You don't recognize your boyfriend's phone number?" I couldn't help but giggle like an idiot "No its just I'm at the gym and I was busy punching the living shit out of this poor punching bag." I explained

"Hey listen I hate ruining your morning workout but we have a case and it's kind of weird if you can call it that." He explained

"I'll just take a quick shower and I'll be right Reidsters see you later bye."

"Bye" I hung up. I grabbed my gym bag and rushed into the locker room and took a quick shower and changed into a black long sleeved shirt, blue jeans, and high heeled ankle boots. I stuffed my dirty clothes in my duffel bag and made my way to my car. I rushed into the conference room and I took my usual seat near Reid

"Ok my knights in shining armor we are going to the small town of Rosewillow, 4 bodies were found near several family parks all of them stabbed to death. 70 year old Daniella Aaron, 65 year old Rafael Baer, 63 year old Nissim Alpert and 66 year old Aliza Annenberg. Here is where things get creepy if you can call it that, while doing the autopsy the M.E noticed that on all 4 victims had a giant swastika carved on their stomach. Also they hmm.. had their prison number retraced and all of this torture was done anti-mortem." Garcia explained

"That's sadistic! So what I'm getting here is all of these victims survived the concentration camp?" I say, Garcia nodded

"They survived the Holocaust and then they end up dying like this. Unbelievable!" Rossi says "With this level of torture and sadism we are defiantly looking at a hate crime." I suggested

"Well we better get going wheels up in 30."

*****

"So pretty boy how many people were killed during the Holocaust?" Morgan asked , before Reid could even open his mouth I quickly answered

"It's started between 1933 and 1945 and approximately six million Jews were killed during the second world war and after the second world war ended many of them moved to the states and across Europe." I explained, Reid looked at me with an open mouth

"Sorry Reidsters but you're not the only who know history and statistics." I gave him a light kiss on cheek. He just stared at me and then refocused he attention on the case.

"Aww pretty boy that hurt your ego?" Morgan said jokily, Reid let out a laugh

"Nah I'm just proud of my girlfriend I mean we all know I'm smarter than her!" he said cockily

"Is that so Reidsters well why don't you don't tell them about that one time I beat you in poker oh and the other time I beat you in chess." I propped my shoulder and flipped my hair, Easy defeat I thought to myself

"Oh good come back your turn pretty boy." Morgan joked Is it me or is he acting more like the referee of our argument than the good friend trying to stop it? I thought. Reid gave a long and thoughtful look, he then let out a sigh and leaned against the table.

"Sweetheart you forgot to mention that I won the other games and I owed you during the Doctor Who quiz." I shot him a glare

"Ha but Guess who beat you in Harry Potter and Lord of The Rings oh should I mention Marvel!" I replied, I then noticed everyone starting blankly at us
