That Rossi Kid
Hey everyone I am so sorry about the long wait for the new chapter. I thought I would have it up sooner but it's been tough even though I have one less class. I have to do a big final project which I already started and I get a test every other week in that class, when I don't have one I have to do a paper. In my other class I have something due almost every week that I need to do research in. My manager has also been cutting into my time as he is still giving me four or five shifts a week as I'm practically working full time instead of part time. I hope you enjoy this new chapter and I hope you can wait until the next chapter.
Chapter 11
David Rossi-
He was still at the police station as he was waiting for Paige Matlock to come as he needs to talk to her about the case. He thinks she might know something as she is a social worker who worked with the Elemental Revenge Killer's son as she was his case worker or social worker.
But he was also wondering about his own son wondering if he could try and gain knowledge through her about what had happened. He was wondering if she even knows something like what happened to him. He wants answers more than anything and he hasn't gotten them.
He stood in the conference room as he looked up to the windows encasing the room to see Paige walk through the doors. He knew it was her because he has met her before. He has a history with her as she was his own son's case/social worker for a time-being. She nodded and walked to the door and opened it up coming in.
"David Rossi." said Paige Matlock right there
"Paige." responded Rossi right there as he went forward to shake her hand and she took it. They then sat down at the table right there.
Rossi looked at Paige right there seeing that she has changed but changed mostly by the years. She was now older where her golden-red hair was more of a lighter red now with streaks of gray, her golden-green eyes were more green and had some lines on her face. But she still looked very well put together at the same time.
"I wasn't expecting you to be here. You look great. It's been what twenty years since I last saw you." replied Paige Matlock
"Twenty-three actually." two-toned Rossi right to her
"What brings you out here to Las Vegas?" wondered Paige Matlock
"We're working on-sorry-the BAU is working on a case here. I was actually wondering if you still do social work?" said Rossi getting straight to the point
"I do but I'm getting close to retirement I'm getting everything together before I retire at the end of this year." told Paige Matlock as Rossi shifted in his seat "What did you want to know exactly?"
"Well when I was last here there were two cases happening at that time there was the family annihilator. Then there was the Elemental Revenge Killer, Benji Coppola he left behind a son Cosmo Coppola. You were his case worker." said Rossi being upfront and grabbed out a file and showed it to her as she took it to get a better look "I think there is a connection through both of them and the killings now."
"But-are you sure?" replied Paige Matlock with wandering eyes
"I'm not for sure but it's definitely a possibility. Can you tell me anything that you know about Cosmo and his relationship with his father, what he was like in the foster system or how he was as a person?" wondered Rossi
"Well Cosmo he was a bit of a sociopath at the age he still is so they had to lock him away so he could get treatment for it. He didn't have much of a relationship with his father as he was abusive. Cosmo likes to take control no matter where he went even in the foster system." explained Paige Matlock as she looked through the file
Rossi got up from the chair and decided to sit on the table instead as he looked at Paige Matlock. He could tell that she barely knows anything but there might be something locked away.
"Is there anything even something locked away that's inconceivable that might help him out?" wondered Rossi
"Well he also had DID." told Paige Matlock
"DID-Dissociate Identity Disorder." replied Rossi
"Yeah he also had another identity what was the name-oh god-what was it again?" muttered Paige Matlock to herself as she set her hand to her head trying to remember "Mison Reginald- that's what it was."
"Mison Reginald wasn't he a good friend of Alex Grooves, Trevor McCarthy and Fitzgerald Katz?" responded Rossi as he started playing with his fingers against the file which was no in his hands
"Yeah he was more aggressive as Mison." told Paige Matlock
"Thank you Paige." said Rossi
"Of course." said Paige Matlock getting up and grabbing her things so she could leave and go back to work
"Oh-there's something else it's not about the case. It's about-." said Rossi getting up from the chair "Spencer do you know what happened to him?"
"No unfortunately not after you called I searched but couldn't find anything. He found and grabbed his mother and they disappeared. I think they changed their names and left the state. I'm sorry David. It was great seeing you again." said Paige Matlock as she went in shaking his hands
"Yeah." muttered Rossi to himself
He noticed that Spencer Reid came into the precinct at that time as well. He was walking towards them as Paige Matlock opened the door and left.
"Hi." said Paige Matlock to him as she continued walking on
"Hi." replied Spencer as they walked past each other
The next thing Rossi noticed is that Spencer bent down as he touched the temples of his head. It was like something strange was happening to him as Spencer collapsed to the ground. Rossi got up and went over to Spencer to help him up but Spencer was looking right through him as it was nothing he had never seen before.
Spencer Reid-
"Spencer. Spencer." said the voice of David Rossi
Spencer was lying on the floor and found himself facing up towards the sky. He was looking right at Rossi like he had never seen him before. It was when he said hi to the woman who was leaving. It was like he knew who she was that he knew her from a long time ago.
Paige Matlock that's what her name was. Spencer remembers her as the social worker that was there for him when his mother had a manic episode. It was her that took her away from the house for a while and he got placed in the Langley household. She was his; own social worker at the time.
"Spencer. Spencer." said the voice of David Rossi who was trying to get him to come back
That was when he realized something he never realized before now. It was that of a concerned parent. It was that he knew that his superior agent was more than a co-worker or friend. He just realized that agent is also his adopted father. The adopted father that he forgot he had. It was because of an incident he had as a child that caused him to lose and repercussion the memories. The memories that was once near and dear to him. This was what his mind was hiding against him this whole time. This is what he was blocking out.
How could he never put it together this whole time? How was he able to hide it for so long and never know? Does Rossi even know who he is? Did he know the truth when he first came? Is that why he was so hesitant at first to get to know him, then to officially take him under his wing? But there have been times when he has been oblivious. So what does Rossi really know? Is he starting to remember as well?
His vision kept coming in and out. He could barely see around him. All he could see was Rossi in front and above him trying to get out of whatever he was in. But he couldn't get out it was like he was locked away and inside his own mind. His vision wasn't even getting better at all it seemed to be getting worse.
He tried to speak but he couldn't. He didn't know what was going on with him at all. He can't really see and now he can't talk. It was the most unusual thing ever. It's something he has never experience before. It's like something or someone is trying to silence him. Silence him about what? Were they trying to silence him for if he ever found out the truth again about Rossi? About their relationship being more than colleagues or friends but that of a father and son relationship? Is there someone out there who doesn't want anyone to know the truth not even them? But then he heard his voice again.
"Spencer, come on. Spencer." said the voice of David Rossi as his face and torso came into view looking into his pupils
He flicked his eyes hoping that Rossi could see that he was still there with him. That he isn't going anywhere. But he couldn't do anything as all he could do was look into his superior and adoptive father's face. He can't even tell him who he was and Rossi is still concerned about him. But it doesn't look like he's a concerned father. He looks to be a concerned colleague and friend.
"Stay with me Spencer. Someone's on their way." said the voice of David Rossi and looked into his light brown eyes
Spencer looked right at Rossi who sat down beside him with his knees bent in front of him and his knuckles touching his forehead. Spencer started flashing back to the morning when he entered into Rossi's office.
"Hey Rossi. We've got a case." said the young erudite Dr. Spencer Reid as he shot his head in the door
"Thanks Reid. I will be right there." replied Rossi
"What's that?" wondered Reid as he noticed the picture frame in Rossi's hand
"It's nothing." muttered Rossi as he stowed the picture away into his desk hiding it so no one could find it, he adjusted his suit then walked out of his office with Reid right by him "What do we have for a case?"
"Not sure yet." replied Reid as he looked down at his shirt hoping he didn't get any of his over sugared coffee on him
"Looks like we're about to find out." said Rossi as they entered into their conference room and sat down at chairs around the table
The picture frame, that Rossi was looking at and put in his desk. He knows what the picture is now. It's of him. He misses him especially since he left him in such an unconventional way. He left that letter to him wanting to get his mother and spend time with her, because he wasn't sure what time he is going to have left of her. He thinks Rossi doesn't have a clue whom he is but maybe had an idea when they first met nine years ago. But they both repressed the memories of each other not wanting to hurt themselves along the way.
Spencer doesn't even know what to do anymore, to learn the truth about himself and Rossi. It's hard to take it in. He doesn't know what to think about all of this. He's confused. Once he comes back and tells Rossi he's going to need time. He needs time to get his bearings straight and to understand everything.
He doesn't even know what relationship he wants with Rossi at all. Does he want a father-son relationship with him? Does he want a colleague and friend relationship with him? It's going to become complicated for the two of them get their heads around. But then something else popped into his head. What about the rest of the BAU?
What are they going to tell the rest of BAU once they get everything together and their bearings straight? Will they try to understand each other first before they break the news? Are they going to try to really get to know each other and have a father-son relationship first? Are they truly going to get to know each other? Are they going to tell each other what happened to each other after he left? He's not sure what he wants at the moment. Will they give it time before they release the information to everyone?
He has so many questions lingering on inside his head. But they are good questions. They are questions they really need to know. They are questions that need to be answered. The when he wasn't sure, the time he isn't sure either. The how that's the million dollar question.
Where are the others? Where are the other BAU members who are like family to him? They aren't there. He wants them to be there by his side at the moment. He won't tell them who he really is. But he wants to see them. He has been avoiding them all day because he's been keen on helping out an old friend and figuring out who would be doing this to him, who would be targeting him.
"Spencer medics are here. They are going to take you to the hospital to find out what happened to you." said the voice of David Rossi and his picture came into view as he was looking down at Spencer "You will be okay."
Spencer didn't know what to do as he felt the hands of medics grab him and hoist him up as they put him on a gurney. He noticed them put him in an ambulance as he was lying there looking up at the ceiling of the ambulance car. Just before they were going to close the doors he noticed Rossi come in and sit down next to him.
"I'm coming with you Spencer." said Rossi right there
The doors closed behind him and they had gone off to the hospital together. Spencer doesn't know what to do as he can't speak but he could hear. He started to wonder if he could move anything like his fingers, his hands or even his feet. If he could move them maybe he could give them a message of what has happened to him. That he knows what's going on. All he needs is something that can help him send a message.
He flicked his eyes over at Rossi who looked to have his head buried down low. Reid saw that he could move his fingers and hands. He brought his hand out and touched Rossi's wrist as he saw Rossi look up at him. They were there looking at each other.
