The team walked into the bullpen after a long flight. All of them just wanted to get what work they had done, so they could go home. But they soon figured out that they weren't going to get their wish.
Standing in the middle of the bullpen was a man none of them have seen in close to three years.
Hotch walked over to the man and said, "What are you doing here?"
"He's killed again, Hotch," the man replied.
"Who has," Hotch asked.
"Frank. He's back," the man stated.
The team stared at the man, not knowing whether to be more surprised that he was there, or that Frank was back.
Hotch was the first to speak up, "Gideon, how can you be sure of that?"
"Jane's body was found in her old house. Her lower right rib bone was missing," Gideon explain.
Hotch sighed, then turned around to face the team and said, "Everyone in the conference, now."
Once everyone was in the conference room, Gideon started talking, "I know you are all probably shocked to see me, but right now we can't worry about that. Frank is back and we need to catch him before he kills again."
"And how do we that," Reid asked. "He escaped the last two times, and it was because Jane went with him. Now she's dead. We have no way of knowing where he's going or what he's going to do."
"Reid is right, Gideon," Morgan stated. "If she's dead, then how do we catch him?"
"We go to Golconda and find out why he killed Jane," Gideon explained. "If we can figure that out, then we can figure where and what he's going to do."
"He's probably long gone by now," Prentiss pointed out.
"He's not," Gideon stated.
"How do you know that," Rossi asked.
"I just do," Gideon stated.
"Ok, everyone, wheels up at seven tomorrow morning," Hotch said. "Go home and get what sleep you can."
"We have to go now," Gideon urged.
"Jason, we just got back from a case. I think the team deserves a night of rest before we dive into another case," Hotch explained
"Fine do what you think is best," Gideon stated.
The team then got up and left. Gideon watched as they left, his eyes seemed to fall on Reid, as he exited the conference room.
The only ones left in the room was, Hotch and Gideon. Gideon looked at Hotch and said, "What happened to Reid?"
"A lot of things have happened," Hotch stated.
"I mean why is he balancing on a pair of crutches," Gideon asked.
"He was doing his job," Hotch explained, before walking out of the room.
