Spencer kissed her as he stood up, and dressed again, this time opting for a slightly more casual look of jeans, button down and sweater. He slid on his glasses, not wanting to fuss around with his contacts. He didn't bother to comb his hair; he thought the "yes, I *did* just have awesome sex with my girlfriend" look suited him well. He couldn't stop smiling as he put on his shoes and then watched Signe change.
He located his firearm, and then watched as Signe did the same. She pulled him into her, hugging him close, and he kissed her head. She spoke, joking that the weekend was over, and it was time to go back to work. As she released him, he spoke.
"Ok. Let's make the call, then. Hotch first, or JJ?" He was voting for JJ if she asked him for his opinion, but he'd let her make the call. He ran through his mental filo-fax and remembered that his keys were on the table by the front door, and his badge and creditianials were still in the car. He continued.
"Let's grab some breakfast on the way; we can hit the bagel place by HQ, OK? Then, if you want, later on today, we can go visit Phoenix. In the car, I'll tell you my plan for winning him over."
Signe thought for a second. JJ was most likely in the office already and thus could get the group together faster. She would also have better luck with convincing Hotch that they needed to focus on this. She took her phone out and began dialing JJ's number. "Ill call JJ and make sure she knows we're coming."
JJ picked up the phone in almost no time. "Hey JJ it's Larsen. Hey Spencer and I are coming in to see you about some things. Yeah it's about him. Can you get the team together? Thanks, I took some photos with my phone of the scene unless you wanna meet us at the house." She paused as JJ told her that seeing the crime scene would be better off for the team. She nodded and began speaking again. "Thanks, Spencer and I will meet everyone there."
She hung up and walked out of the bedroom and to the living room. She grabbed her credentials and looked back at Spencer. "JJ's calling the team they are gonna meet us at the house."

Spencer looked at her for a moment; the romance and sweetness of the early morning were gone, and now they were back to stern, serious work stuff. He sighed, but nodded.
"Good Ol' JJ. Let's go, then, and I guess we can stop somewhere else." He grabbed his keys, and messenger bag, and followed Signe out the door and to the parking lot. He held the door for her and she climbed in, and then he got in, and then turned to speak to her.
"This is going to be really hard, and there's a chance that Hotch is going to be annoyed, and an even greater chance that he might ask you to step off the case for a bit in the investigative capacity, OK? I am willing to go to bat for you, as is JJ, but please, if it gets at all difficult, promise me you'll tell me, and we can get you out of this, OK?"
Signe sat in the car as they drove to the house. When he mentioned that Hotch may ask her to step down from the case. She knew she wouldn't be able to do that. She needed to be here at the case working it. She needed the closure. When he said that he needed her to promise that she would tell him. She knew that she needed to do everything she could to keep her composure.
"I promise I'll let you know when it gets to be to much but Spencer...I have to find him." She said in all seriousness. She watched out the window as they drove to the house. She tried to think about everything she could remember from last night. She knew it would come in handy when they started trying to find this guy.

Spencer nodded quietly.
"I know you're serious about finding this guy. We all are. I just don't want you to do anything brash, OK? Keep yourself safe. I am not about to suggest that we let the others handle this, but I think it might be prudent for you to really consider a more...supervisory role. Just think about it, OK?" He smiled as he parked in front of a bagel shop and then continued.
"Look, I know we're supposed to meet the others, but we need to not be hungry. We need to focus, OK? Do you want to come in with me? I promise I'll be fast; I'll use my badge if I have to force my way to the front." He leaned over and kissed her head. "No matter what Hotch says today, I love you, and I want you to be here to share the future with me."
Signe nodded when he said that she needed to stay safe, that she needed to make sure she took care of herself. She looked at him when he asked if she wanted to come in wit him and she shook her head. "You go ahead...I'll be fine in here until you get back." She said looking at him.
She watched him go into the car and all the while she thought about things. She had just had sex with a guy she had been dating for three months and was already thinking about starting a family with him. She looked at her phone. He was in a picture of the two of then on the jet coming home. She couldn't believe how happy she was with him. And now this bastard was here trying to ruin her life again. She looked at her phone and smiled at the picture of him. Oh Spencer...When oh when are you going to just ask me to move in with you already?"

Spencer stood inside the bagel shop and quickly texts JJ.
"If you talk to Signe, see if you can't get her to calm down a little. I am worried. See you soon."
He sighs, and places their order, choosing a simple plain bagel for himself, and then ordering a bagel sandwich for Signe. He sighed again as he poured them some coffee and took the to-go order to the car. He had decided, standing in line, watching the couple in front of him, cuddling a newborn, that he will ask Signe to move in with him that weekend, and when the case is over, and everything has settled, they can talk about a more permanent relationship.
He hands off the food, and speaks.
"You look thoughtful. Are you OK?" He hands her the coffee, and places his in the cup holder, and begins the rest of the drive to Signe's house.
Signe snapped out of her thoughts when he asked her what she was thinking about. She put her phone into her pocket and smiled back at him. She took the bagel and coffee and took a sip. He knew how she liked her coffee. She smiled with her eyes closed as the warm liquid soothed down her throat. As he pulled out of the parking lot and down the street towards her house she tried to think about the case. But it was hard to not think about Spencer.
"JJ texted me...She said you were worried about me and told me to calm down." She looked at him with on of her eyebrows arched. "I'm fine...I just wanna get this sicko put away for good."

Spencer watched Signe sip her coffee and then tell him she got a text from JJ. He knew she just wanted to catch her rapist, and make the nightmares stop, but she also had to take care of herself, damn it, and it was his job as her boyfriend to make sure she did. He nodded, though, and replied.
"I know, Shortcake. And it will happen. It'll take a little time, but we'll catch the bastard, OK?"
Signe sighed and nodded as she sipped her coffee. She knew that Spencer was just trying to help her but she wasn't about to step out when she knew that other girls were in danger. She needed to help find him. She looked at him and sighed. "Fine...Just please promise me that when we catch the son of a bitch you'll let me take him in." She wanted nothing more than to be the one to bring him in. She wanted to know why he did it. She needed to understand.

Spencer chuckled, and parked carefully in the driveway, behind Morgan's car. The others had gathered quickly. He turned to Signe as he killed the engine.
"Of course I'll let you take him in. I'll let you do whatever you want to him. Before we go in there, I need to say something that I have been thinking the whole weekend. When we're done with this, and this bastard is rotting away in a cell or in the ground, would you consider moving in with me? I know it's sudden, and soon, but I think it's right."
Signe wasn't prepared for what had just happened. Sure she had been thinking about it for a while but she never thought he would actually ask her to move in with him. Spencer was the kind of guy to think everything through, down to the last outcome and yet here he was asking his girlfriend of three months to move in with him. She smiled and nodded giving him a kiss. "Yes Spencer Reid. I would love to move in with you."
She grabbed her coffee and climbed out of her car, walking to the small crowd which had formed in the driveway. She smiled at Derek who had given her a hug. She looked at Spencer and blushed slightly.

Spencer grinned when she said that she'd love to move in with him. He was so happy, he could feel himself blushing.
"I'm glad. Why don't you stay with me while we figure out this case, and later, we can decide where to live. Of course, I won't ask you to give up your house, unless you want to, of course. I also need to tell you about my plan for getting Phoenix to like me." He grabbed his coffee and followed Signe to the driveway where the others had gathered. JJ smiled when she saw the two arrive together, and Spencer nodded once at her before addressing the group.
"Thanks for coming, guys. I saw the mess; there's some blood. We're going to need a crime scene unit. I would've called last night, but my first thought was Signe's safety, of course." He bit his lip when that spilled out; they'd never acknoweledged their relationship out loud to the team before. OH, well, he couldn't unsay it now...
