Chapter Text
Reid and jj
The ride to the M.E was pretty quiet and kinda awkward. Spencer and JJ would talk for a second or two about the case and then it would go back to silence>
“Are you sure youre okay spence?” JJ asked suddenly, concerned. Spencer took a deep breath and gripped the steering wheel.
“Why does everyone keep asking me that?” Spencer sighed
“Because we’re worried about you! If you want to talk about it or anything-”
“JJ im fine okay?”
“Of course but after georgia.. I just want to make sure youre okay” JJ paused. “Im so sorry spence i shouldve-”
“JJ” spencer stopped the car abrubtly and turned to look at JJ. “What happened was not your fault okay? It was my idea to split up. And im okay alright? I promise. Now can we please focus on the case?” spencer knew JJ and the team just wanted to make sure he was okay but just because he was the youngest didn’t mean he was as child. He could take care of himself just fine. And what good would it do to bring up the past? It wouldnt. Not at all.
“Okay spence” JJ smiled softly at him and let it go. She wasnt entirely convinced spencer was okay but she couldn’t make him talk about it. What she could do however is be there for him and thats exactly what she planned to do.
When spencer and JJ got to the M.E, the medical examiner, dr castillo, told them these murders was the worst case she has seen in her entire career.
“well agents, alyssa harris and oliver morris, the most recents vics both had blunt force trauma to the head, rope burns around their wrist and ankles, and multiple abrasions and bruises. Oliver morris had a broken wrist and a broken nose, alyssa harris and a spiral fracture in her tibia as well as a busted lip. And- and both of their hearts are missing. It looks like someone just dug a hole in their chests… well you can look for yourselves but be warned its pretty gruesome” she explained. Spencer and jj looked at each other before carefully pulling back the white sheets covering the two victims. Dr castillo wasnt wrong, it did look like someone dug a hole in their chests.
“Oh my god…” jj whispered, covering her mouth with her hand. Both had cuts and bruises all over them. Even though they had passed they still looked like they were in pain. Their injuries stuck out like a sore thumb against their pale lifeless skin. There was a big gaping hole in the middle of their chest that had rough and jagged edges.
“...oh” spencer started before clearing his throat, “okay so.. From what i can see oliver morris got hit in the head from behind so that means this was a blitz attack” spencer said carefully inspecting oliver morris’ head wound before turning to JJ. “is it the same thing on her?”
“Yea pretty much” jj lifted alyssa harris’s head to examine her head wound before gently lowering it back on the table. “So the unsub doesnt have the confidence to approach his victims from the front” she continued as spencer moved around oliver morris’ body to get a better look at the gruesome hole in his chest.
“Hmm the surrounding area here” spencer made a circle around the hole in oliver morris’ chest with his finger “is very cut up like the unsub had tried to cut his way in at first with a knife of some sorts then gave up and started using his hands the rest of the way. Dr castillo was the removal of the heart done postmortem or antemortem?
“Its hard to say” dr castillo sighed. “But from i cant tell this was done antemortem and most likely the cause of death for both.”
“Jeez while they were still alive?? I cant even imagine what they must have gone through.” JJ said sympathetically.
“We need to inform the rest of the team. The unsubs timeframe between murders is getting shorter and shorter.”
