Gift Giver Part 3: Go fish

Molly sat in the back of the plane and made sure it was clean. It was a ten-hour flight there and a five-hour car ride there.


"Molly has checked her gun seven times in the past half hour," Morgan said as Emily watched and JJ was watching her to out of the corner of her eye.


Spencer got up and sat next to her, and she smiled as she put her gun back together.


"Need anything?" She asked as spencer got out some magic cards.


"No, you just seem uneasy, so I was wondering if you wanted to do some magic or play a game of cards with me?" He asked as she smiled.


"Sure, why not? You from Vegas, arent you?" She asked with a smirk.


"Yep, I got banned from every casino because I can count the cards," he answered as she smiled.


"What really?" She asked as he started to lay out the cards.


"Yep, know any games?" Spencer asked as he reshuffled the cards.


"How about goldfish, I might be a beast at blackjack, but strip poker might be nice to play someday," she laughed as spencers face turned red.


"I rather play goldfish," he said as he looked at her with a blush on his face.


"Good because I dont know how I would feel if my dad saw me stripping on a plane," she said as he gave her some cards.


"I would be mortified," he said as she raised an eyebrow.


"Really? Not a lot of guys would be. I bet Morgan is still working on a plan to woe me over," she said as spencer held up his cards.


"Im not like most guys," he said as she smiled brightly.


"I know you aren't lady would have told me otherwise by now. I appreciate it," she said as she looked at him closely.


"You didn't ask me to play cards with you because I was stressed; you wanted me to tell you what's wrong," she said as she put her cards down.


"Actually, no, I took the hint that something was wrong because you couldn't look up at the bodies or up at Tanner Linx. You cleaned your gun seven times, so I came to destress you," he said, and she smiled.


"You know, if you weren't such a sweet and adorable genius, I would tell you off," she said kindly as spencer looked at her oddly.


"You think im adorable?" Spencer asked.


"Yep, I bet a lot of girls think so too. Spencer, I just have a lot on my mind, okay? I am trying to handle it the best I can; I knew Tanner Linx. He was my math teacher, and he worked with my dad. He knew my favorite colors, and he is a doctor. You're going to have to crack open my case," she said, looking worried.


"The chances of that are slim," spencer said as she looked at him.


"No, it's not Spencer, and you know it. So I brought my case with me, Spencer," she said as she looked at him weakly.


"Molly, I dont want to see your case, not yet. Linx moved to Texas and got arrested for ten years,"


"I was fourteen when I got him; he only spent four years in jail for child porn before he moved to Texas. I know what he wants, Spencer," she said coldly.


"Not yet, we don't; if he wanted you that bad, he could have taken you in Hawaii or when you moved here. He is killing off other petafiles; why would he do that if he wanted you," Spencer asked.


"That's true; we need to check to see if any kids are missing. It could be doing this because someone took his pray," she said, looking at him.


"And maybe someone is getting revenge on them; we can't rule that out," Spencer said with a smile.


"You all have been talking about it without me, haven't you?" She asked as he sighed.


"Yeah, we can't rule out anything, and you did seem stressed out, and we don't want to make you more stressed, actually mostly Rossi," spencer said as she smiled.


"Of course, he wants to protect me, but without this information, this could have put a lot of other people and me in danger," she said softly.


"Rossi was going to tell you when we landed, I promise," Spencer said as she chuckled.


"Anything else I should know?" she asked as he picked up his cards.


"Nope, so have any black threes?" Spencer asked.


"Nope, but I do have a red three," She said as she stared him down.


He looked at her and tried to figure out if she was lying or not, and she had the best poker face.


"Molly, this is gofish," spencer smiled.


"No, this is Sparta!" Molly suddenly exclaimed, scarring Spencer and morgan.


Molly started to laugh uncontrollably as spencer had no idea what was going on and thought for a moment. Spencer began to ramble off Sparta facts, and after two hours, Molly was passed out in her seat.


"Wow, you bord her so much you made her pass out," Morgan laughed.


"I didn't, she took some sleeping pills earlier to help her sleep on the plane ride, and I didn't want her to have nightmares, so I kept talking to distract her," Spencer corrected as he took off his jacket and covered Molly up.


"You do have the biggest crush on her!" Emily pointed out.


"No, I dont. We understand each other well. We have a lot in common," spencer corrected as he picked up his book to read.


"She told you what happened to her in her past that made her this way; she even calls you handsome," JJ added.


"So guys dont flirt with her when she is working, and she said I was like her, alright, can we stop talking about this, please?" Spencer asked as Pen popped up on a computer screen.


"Stop what?" She asked, looking scared.


"Nothing, never mind, what do you have for us?" Morgan asked as the pen looked very disturbed.


"Okay, so you guys were going to find a man named Tanner Linx; well, he might be dead. A bunch of human body parts was seen floating in water under a bridge, no hands or head," pen said as Rossi sighed.


"Any tattoos or anything that can ID him?" Hotch asked.


"No, he has no family either, and since he has been in jail for a long time, I bet most of his friends are in jail too," pen said as she was still typing away.


Spencer looked at Molly, who looked like she was sleeping peacefully in her seat, and he wanted it to keep it that way.


"Maybe Molly can ID the remains," hotch said to Rossi, and he sighed.


"Molly could barely keep it together when she saw that upper intestine; if she sees his body, it might jeopardize our team. Her confusional arousals could flare up, and she might hurt herself or someone else," Rossi started as hotch sighed.


"She won't let that happen; we won't let it happen either. She trusts spencer a lot, and since they are around the same age, she will open up to him because he understands," Hoch added.


"When do you think she will tell the team about her sleeping disorders?" Rossi asked as he saw spencer keeping a close eye on her.


"In the next couple of days im sure, she can't hide them forever, whoever this man is. Linx was most likely to near in this; how else would he know her favorite colors?" Hotch asked as he sighed, knowing this case was going to be hard.
