    Summary

    “Have the parents been briefed?” JJ asks, glancing up from her file.

    Hotch’s face is as impassive as ever, save for the slight tightening of his mouth, and there’s a short second of hesitation before he answers. “Parent.”

    Morgan frowns. “What d’you mean?”

    “Parent, singular,” Hotch clarifies. “There’s only one parent.” He sighs, closing his eyes for a brief second as the team watches on in confusion. When he opens them again, he glances down at the remote in his hand, clicking the button as another image shows up on the screen. “The victim is Spencer David Rossi.”

    Summary

    "Dave, this kid has been through unthinkable trauma. The shrink said he may never speak again, are you sure you really want to do this?"

    Rossi looked at his friend for a long moment, before his eyes drifted back to the five-year-old boy, sitting quietly in his chair in the precinct, arms wrapped tightly around his stuffed elephant.

    "I don't think I've ever been more sure of anything in my life."

    Summary

    "Hotch was about to say no. The word was just on the tip of his lips when he stopped himself. His mind forced itself back to his own childhood. To the abuse he suffered at the hand of his own father. He couldn’t risk sending an innocent kid into something like that if he had something he could do to stop it."

    ---
    or Hotch agrees to temporarily foster a 4 year old named Spencer. Really, it was only supposed to be temporary. Because Hotch wasn't meant to be a father.

    Right?

    Summary

    “You find anything incriminating?” Rossi asked.

    “I was able to differentiate between two distinct voices, two authors. I found various idiosyncratic words, phrases, punctuation, and orthography within the blog entries consistent with each separate person, words like ‘soda’ and ‘pop’. One guy uses dashes while the other uses ellipses.” Reid chuckled to himself as he turned back to the crime board.

    “Where’d you find this kid?” the police officer whispered to Rossi.

    Rossi leaned closer to him. “He was left in a basket on the steps of the FBI,” he whispered conspiratorially.
