Hi! So for those of you who have already read my previous fic, "Moving Forward", this is the sequel and also crosses over with "Glee". I suggest you read that first otherwise this will be confusing. And don't worry, it isn't super long, I think. Enjoy
"Three days ago, civil partners Leroy and James Berry – thirty-eight and thirty-nine – were found two blocks away from their home severely beaten, stabbed, and barely conscious in Lima, Ohio," JJ said as images were displayed on the screen in the B.A.U. conference room. "Then, just yesterday, Kurt Hummel, seventeen, and his boyfriend, Blaine Anderson, sixteen, were found in the same condition outside of the Lima Theatre."
"Well, obviously, this unsub has something against homosexuals, but he's not confident enough to kill," Morgan stated.
"He could eventually escalate to that. Kurt Hummel appears to have more stab wounds than the first two victims," Seaver said.
"Or that one was more personal, since Blaine Anderson's injuries were the same as the Berrys'," corrected Rossi.
"Either way, we have about a day before two more victims come up, so we need to act fast. Wheels up in thirty minutes," Hotch said, and everyone rose from their seats and made their way out of the conference room.
It took Seaver an extra moment to collect herself before following the rest of the team. Even if the victims were still alive, this case might prove difficult for her to handle.
When she arrived back in the bullpen, Reid was almost half-way through getting his go-bag all ready for the trip. Thinking back to her conversation with Garcia during lunch, she decided that now would be the best time to take a chance.
"Hey Reid," she said, walking over to his desk.
"Oh, hey Seaver. What's up?" he said, sounding a little surprised. Am I making him uncomfortable? Seaver wondered.
"Not much," she said. "I was just wonderin-,"
"Hey Pretty Boy! Can you give me a hand over here?" A voice yelled. Reid and Seaver turned to see Morgan standing at the entrance to the hallway where his office was still located.
"Sure thing, Morgan!" Reid called back and headed over to where his other colleague was, but not without taking his messenger bag with him. "See ya," he muttered to Seaver as he passed her.
Defeated, Seaver made her way back to her desk and groaned as she lay her head down on her desk in a "facedesk" fashion. When she sat back up, she found herself gazing at the framed photo of herself and her younger brother, Fred. It had been taken a few years previously at his wedding. Seaver sighed. Even he has had luck in finding love, she thought.
But the photo also encouraged her, as she remembered the dreadful event that had occurred in her family while she was still in high school after her father got locked away.

"Did you find it?" Reid asked. He was standing with Morgan in the room where the B.A.U. kept files from old cases.
"Yeah, but before I give it to you, are you absolutely sure you want to do this?" his friend asked.
"She deserves some answers, don't you think?" Reid said.
Morgan sighed.
"I guess you're right, but how do you know she's ready to see this stuff?" he asked.
"I just know," Reid replied as he took the file that Morgan was holding and tucked it into his messenger bag away from the files for the case they were working on.
So what do you think? Good? Bad? Ish? Hopefully I'll get a couple more chapters up in the next couple of weeks, because I'm going to Denmark at the beginning of August, so I won't be updating at all for about three weeks. And yeah, it's too short, but hopefully I'll do better later on and then we get to see some of our favourite "Glee" characters as well! Yay!
