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

Chapter 30: A Safe Distance

~Reid's POV~

Dr. Linda and I arrive at the Hospital, she led me to the quarantine section where the remaining survivors.

"Whose room is this?" I asked

"Her name is Abby, she is one of our strongest survivors." She replied, we enter her room and I saw a girl probably 16 years old with light blonde hair.

"Hi Abby how are you?" the girl smiled

"This is agent Reid from the FBI, if you can will you talk to him." Dr. Linda explained

"Hey Abby I'd like to do a memory recall exercise to take you back to the park if that ok with you." I explained, she nodded

"I need you to close your eyes." I instructed

"Yesterday afternoon you rode your bicycle to the park how did the sun feel on your skin, the breeze through your hair. Can you describe to me what you heard and the people that you saw?" I asked

"It was warm windy, there were guys playing football kids playing." She said in a raspy voice

"Thank you Abby, get some rest." Dr. Linda said as we exited to room. Dr. Linda told me that she had some paper works to get so I decided to wait for her in the waiting reception area. I let out a sigh and took out my phone and a picture of me and my mum, I smiled at how happy we looked that's when I realized that Mercy and my mum haven't officially met. I talk about Mercy constantly in my letters so much so that I'm pretty sure that I think my mum got tired of hearing about her. After all this I am going to try and find some time to take Mercy to Las Vegas and meet my mother.

"Dr. Reid." Dr. Linda exclaimed as she handed me some paper work

~Mercy POV~

Morgan and I arrived at the park where the first attack occurred, it was filled with medical personas and people covered in white suits inspecting the place. I wonder what they were telling the public I thought.

"Excuse me what are you guys telling the people if they ask what going on?" I asked one of the men who was working on the scene

"Methane build up in the sewage system." He replied

"And they believe that? Of yeah of course why wouldn't they." I said in a sarcastic tone

"The entire area has been neutralized your safe here." He explained

"Are you sure?" I questioned

"Yes mam!" Morgan gave me a look

"Thank you!" Morgan exclaimed, I took a good look at the park... it looked like any ordinary park. Sure the swings were a little bit outdated but there was nothing that suggest it would be a potential target for an anthrax attack

"This Park doesn't scream 'target' to me." I noted

"Maybe it's symbolic for the unsub." Morgan argued

"Maybe you're right I mean they can't help be attached to their mass killings one way or any other." I agreed

"Ok so what does this place mean to our unsub?" Morgan asked, I felt my phone buzzing

"Reid just texted me he said the 17th patient has just died." I said

"We should get back then." Morgan said, we made our back to the car. On our way back to the office I couldn't help but be worried about Spencer. I hope he's ok I thought

"Your worried about him aren't you?" Morgan asked, I let out a sigh

"Hey there is nothing to be ashamed of, if it was Garcia I would be acting the same way." He reassured me
