II.

Savannah’s body tenses as she walks out of the elevator. Why had she agreed to come?  She snaps out of her daze quickly as an older man steps in front of her.

“You must be Reid’s sister.” The man says with a welcoming smile, extending his hand.

“Yes, sir,” She said softly as she shook his hand. His hands were calloused, showing he must have been in this field of work for awhile now. Savannah cleared her throat, “And you are?”

The man chuckled, the sound deep and guttural. “My apologies, I’m Agent Rossi.” He said proudly, “I was asked to meet you here so you don’t get lost.”

Savannah raised her eyebrow at the name. “How great.” She murmured, her voice laced with sarcasm. “My brother sent you didn’t he?”

Rossi nodded, “Yeah, he’s worried about you, especially with what’s going on.”

She swallowed thickly, her mouth suddenly feeling dry. “Interesting,” She muttered under her breath, “Could you take me to him? He said I needed to speak to him right away.”

He nodded, "Right this way."

It wasn't a long walk, but every step felt like eternity for Savannah. She couldn't help but think of what Spencer would say, "Wow, you look horrible, Who put you through hell?" The possibilities were endless.

Her hands began to sweat once they made it to Spencer's desk. There were two other people next to him, a blonde woman who looked like she hadn't ever seen a day of sadness in her life, and then a black haired girl who looked like all she knew was hell.

Spencer looked up, "Sav, I'm glad you made it safely." He spoke with a warm smile.

Savannah couldn't help but grin softly at the old nickname. It was what her brother called her when their parents fought, or in this case, when Savannah knew her whole world would come collapsing in on her.

The blonde smiled at her widely, "Hi, I'm Penelope!" She said as bubbly as one could ever be. "I've heard a lot about you, he never stops talking about you."

Bingo.

"Reid never stops talking about anything." The black haired girl said with a soft laugh, "Agent Prentiss, it's nice to meet you."

Savannah nods curtly, "Savannah, likewise." She said with a gentle smile.

Spencer stood up, "I need to talk to you." He said, his voice becoming serious. "Follow me, yeah?"

Savannah nodded as she walked beside Spencer. It was awkward, they haven't seen each other in almost a decade for fucks sake.

They walked to what looked like an interrogation room to Savannah. "Is this an interrogation, Spence?" She said, confused as she sat in the chair in the middle of the room.

"Do you have a reason to be interrogated?" He muttered as he sat down across from her, a bunch of papers in hand.

She laughed in disbelief, "Do I look like I have a reason to be interrogated?" She murmured, crossing her arms over her chest. "What is this about, Spencer?"

Spencer handed her a piece of paper. "Take a look for yourself." He said seriously. "Your initials are on every victim of our case. Do you have any idea why that is?"

Savannah looked at the picture in horror. She felt sick, horrible, and guilty all at once. "Who the hell did this?" She said, her words coming out frantic.

Spencer crossed his arms. "That's what we need your help with, Savannah. Whoever did this, is connected to you in some way." He saw the guilt for the victims in her eyes, the weariness. He placed his hand on her knee. "Hey," He said with a short pause, "None of this is your fault, Sav." He reassured gently.

She shook her head before handing him back the picture. "No, it is. It has to be. Why else would I be-" She trailed off.

"I need to know if you have any enemies, someone who crossed your path and you got cocky with them, an old friend, a relative of ours." Spencer said before leaning forward, his elbows resting on his knees. "Anything could help."

Savannah swallowed thickly, the words he spoke rotting in her mind. "No, of course not. I don't talk to enough people for someone to murder people over me." She rasped out.

The door to the interrogation room opened, a tall man in a suit stepping in. "Reid, we need you for something quickly. Morgan will take over here." The man spoke, his demeanor cold.

Reid nodded before standing up. "Yes, sir." He looked at Savannah, his eyes softening. "Think. As hard as you can. I know you can do it." He said to her before turning on his heel and leaving the room.

Savannah was then left with her own thoughts for a moment. She ran a hand through her hair annoyed. "What the fuck is happening?" She mumbled to herself. She leaned back in the chair, her head falling back as she thought about who could have done this.

She flinched at the sound of the door opening, a tall man walking in. He was wearing a grey t-shirt that hugged his muscles beautifully, for a moment she thought he was handsome.

"Agent Morgan." He said extending his hand.

Savannah grabbed his hand, his grip firm. "Savannah." She mumbled, her hand lingering on his longer than it should have.

Morgan studied her features, taking in the curve of her lips, the way her hair fell on her shoulders. There was no denying that she was gorgeous. He cleared his throat, pushing the thoughts aside. "I'm sure you've figured out why you're here, no?" He said, sitting down in front of her.

She scoffed, "Yeah, you can say that." She muttered.

He nodded, taking in her words. "Reid didn't mention any suspects yet, did he?"

"No, he wanted me to try and think of who it could possibly be." She replied softly, "Why? Will you tell me the lead suspects?"

"I don't think you're ready to know our main one yet, Savannah." He answered, shaking his head slowly.

Savannah shook her head, leaning forward. "No no, tell me. I want to know, maybe I could help find them." She said frantically.

Morgan sighed, running a hand over his head. "I need you to promise me something," He spoke, leaning forward, his eyes never leaving Savannah's. "If I tell you, you don't tell Reid, got it?"

Savannah nodded, "Got it." She said, bracing herself for the name he would utter.

"Your father is our main suspect right now."

The words hit her.

One.

Two.

Three.

Her whole world collapsed around her.
