"I hope this is important." Elijah hummed as he stretched.

"What do you think its about?" Reid wondered.

"I'm not sure." He shook his head.

"I heard it was about Tara."

"Tara?" Elijah furrowed his brow.

"I heard Garcia mention it in the background." Reid nodded.

"You think she's okay?"

"I hope so." Reid sighed.

"I'm sure she will be." Elijah nodded.

"I think Morgan's looking after Lizzie today." Reid looked at him.

"Oh, he's going to have so much fun." Elijah hummed.

"With two kids? He'll be begging for us back." Reid chuckled.

"Yeah, but it's our kids."

"He loves Lizzie." Reid assured him.

"And Lizzie loves him." Elijah smiled.

"Come on, let's go." Reid nudged him.

"I'm coming." Elijah nudged him back.

"Not fast enough." Reid chuckled, nudging him again.

"Oh, shut up." Elijah rolled his eyes.

*********************************

"You sure you'll be okay with both of them?" Fleur looked at Morgan.

"Babe, I'm sure." Morgan chuckled.

"I just don't want any calls." She pointed.

"You won't get any." Morgan assured her.

"Promise?" Fleur held up her pinky.

"I promise." Morgan locked their pinkies.

"Besides, Elijah will kill you if something happens." Fleur shrugged.

"Nothing will happened."

Fleur hummed and kissed his cheek before going over to Hank,"Hi baby."

"Ma." Hank smiled.

"You be good for papa, okay?" Fleur lifted him up.

Hank nodded,"Dada."

"And you get to have fun with your cousin, Lizzie." Fleur kissed his head.

Hank giggled, reaching out to her.

"She's your best friend, isn't she?"

"Ya!" Hank nodded.

"Of course she is." Fleur chuckled.

"You're gonna have a lot of fun together." Morgan hummed.

"You will do." Fleur hummed, putting him down.

"Da." Hank looked to Morgan.

"Hey buddy." Morgan played with his curls.

Hank reached up and grabbed Morgan's hand.

"You're getting so big.' Morgan hummed.

Hank nodded, playing with Morgan's fingers

"Right. I'm off." Fleur walked up, "I'll see you two later."

"Have fun." Morgan took Hank's hand and waved it,"Say bye to Mama."

"Ma." Hank waved.

"That's right."

Kayleigh

"Bye, my sweet." Fleur hummed.

*********************************

Elijah, Reid, Fleur and JJ all entered the Conference Room around the same time where they found Garcia and Emily. On the screen was a picture of Tara and her brother, Gabriel.

"What's going on?" Fleur asked.

"Hey, it's Gabriel." Elijah hummed.

"Oh! It is." JJ turned to the screen.

"How do.. How come you guys know about..?" Garcia looked between them.

"She told us about him when she first joined the team." Fleur shrugged.

"He flew in this morning, probably looking for money." Reid added.

That's when Luke and Rossi walked in,"Hey, is there a case? Why is Tara's brother's picture up there?"

"Well, he's in town." Elijah shrugged

"Probably wants money." Rossi nodded.

"Come on, the new guy? He knows? How come I was the last one to know?" Garcia questioned.

"It was an experiment. She wanted to time how long you'd keep a private conversation private.. And you made it twelve hours." Reid checked his watch.

Alvez chuckled,"Damn. I had you down for six."

Garcia gasped,"Okay- I thought you guys were my friends. But you suck, you all suck. Especially you, new guy. But then you always suck, Newbie." She stormed out the room.

"I had fourteen hourse." Reid raised his hand,"I think I win, right?"

"Wait- Who had eleven?" JJ asked

"Oh! I did." Fleur smiled, raising her hand.

*********************************

"We're running prints and DNA, so far he's not in the system." Reid told Tara as they walked.

She had gone to meet Gabriel but.. While claiming to be Gabriel, that man was not her brother. So she brought him into the BAU where they were holding him in custody.

"We can hold that man for twenty-four hours. After that we need to either charge him or let him go. Is Gabriel answering his phone?" Emily asked as she walked up.

"This is his phone. His contacts, his emails.. Look at this." Tara held up the phone,"He was in the Capitol Hill district. I mean, look at the time stamp. He's been in my backyard for a month and he hasn't told me."

"Does your father know?" Fleur raised a brow.

"Maybe. I mean, I have to speak with hin." Tara sighed.

"Albert Lewis Body Shop. He's listed, right? I'll bring him in." Reid nodded.

"Just why would Gabriel send a stranger and meet me and pretend it's him? It makes no sense." Tara sighed,"Maybe he's scared, or maybe this us another one of his scams but.."

"Tara..Let's talk." Emily nodded.

"Alright."

*********************************

They wanted to interrogate Gabriel and couldn't sent in Tara, so they sent in Fleur instead. She'd be able to get something out of him.

Fleur walked into the interrogation room,"Good afternoon, I'm Fleur Howards with the Behavioural-" she began.

"Analysis Unit of the FBI." Gabriel cut her off,"Tara told me you were cool."

"Right." Fleur sat down,"And.. You are?"

"Gabriel, her brother." He answered.

"Could I get your full name and social, please?" Fleur hummed, opening up his file.

"Gabriel Anthony Lewis. 989-42-7001."

Fleur leaned over, showing Gabriel's file, the man on the ID Definitely wasn't in front of her.

"That is Tara's brother. See the problem here?"

"What? It's a driver's license photo. They asked me not to smile." Gabriel pointed.

"No hesitation, no unspeak. He maintains eye contact. I mean, whoever this, he's good." Tara sighed to Elijah through the window.

"Let's see how he does at double jeopardy." Elijah crossed his arms.

"Where were you born?" Fleur leaned back.

"Army Base, Fort Rucker." Gabriel nodded.

"Right, in..Georgia?" Fleur asked.

"No. Alabama." He corrected.

"With stops in Okinawa and Hamburg?" She raised a brow.

"Other way around. Hamburg first." Gabriel pointed.

"What did you major in at Yale?" Fleur asked.

"I didn't. What is going on here?" Gabriel questioned.

Fleur sighed,"Why are you the only one who gets to call her T?"

Gabriel scoffed,"We're really going there, huh? Her name is spelled T-A-R-A. It was my father's grandmother's name. You know what else is spelled Tara? The plantation in Gone with the Wind. Now that's a movie that not all black folks are crazy about. So, my mom and dad, how they drilled it into her, it's Tara, Tara, Tara. And whenever we went to a new school, which was every time my dad got re-stationed. She had to make sure our classmates got it right, you feel me?"

"Yeah, I do." Fleur nodded.

"Alright, good. So, while we're in Hamburg, right, this kid starts following her around and he starts saying 'Tarra, Tarra, Tarra'.. Now he'd never seen Vivien Leigh or Clark Gable or 'I don't know nothing about birthing no babies', you know? He just knew that he was getting under her skin." Gabriel sighed,"And my sister said.."

Fleur tilted her head, looking at Gabriel,"Go on.. What did she say?"

"The rest that happened is our secret, mine and hers. I wouldn't tell the rest just to anybody." Gabriel shook his head,"My sister knows that. All that matters for this little back and forth, which I'm guessing she out you up to, I'd afterwards I started calling her T. To show her taht I was always on her side. Even now, T. Even now."

That's when Elijah got a text from his phone, Reid.

"Reid's back with your father." Elijah looked to Tara.

Tara nodded and walked out with him.

*********************************

The team had found out.. Scratch had the real Gabriel. The man in front of them genuinely believed he was Gabriel.

"I've placed protective details on Hayden and Joy and Will and the boys. Along with Morgan with the kids." Emily walked in,"We need to assume that Mr Scratch is targeting this entire team."

"That could be why he had Gabriel screaming out my name. He wanted us to know that he knew I was part of the BAU now." Alvez agreed.

"But isn't his MO to drug his victims and make them hallucinate?" Emily raised a brow.

"Then he evolved. He's taking these victims with multiple personalities and brainwashing them with someone else's memories." JJ sighed.

"So he took Tara's brother and did God knows what to get him to spill his life story, and then he planted those memories in the guy downstairs. The more memories he has, the stronger the identity he can create." Fleur added.

"He must have pit Gabriel's whole life inside of Desmond." Elijah nodded.

"Well, the good news is we have a list from before. Patients with Dissociative Identity Disorder Scratch might target next." Garcia looked up.

"Okay, cross-rerefernve those against missing persons. The rest of us need to figure out how to deprogram the Unsub safely. He's still our best lead to Scratch and Gabriel." Emily told them.

"It's the pictures that are baffling. Scratch left them out specifically to call our attention to them." Reid pointed.

"He's a math genius. He likes us to solve his puzzles, which usually tend to lead to bigger traps." Alves nodded.

"But it's the configuration that's strange. The pictures are obviously of Gabriel at different ages, but normally one would arrange them in chronological or reverse chronological order. Fifteen, eleven and thirty-two is a pattern that he wants us to see." Reid mentioned.

"Not us. Tara. It's a pattern he wants us to see." Rossi pointed.

*********************************

"So from what Spence and I dug up, Scratch used his fake identify to buy a Shibari rope from this couple. They own a boutique sex shop. In addition to the rope, he also made a very expensive purchase and was listed only as 'other." JJ spoke.

"Shop's probably closed by now." Emily shook her head.

"We do have their home address." JJ hummed.

"We have to hurry. Scratch likes mind games and right now, he's putting Tara through hell." Emily sighed.

Soon enough, Fleur and Elijah headed to the address that they were given, except a little girl, Hannah, answered the door.

"Hey, sweetheart." Elijah leaned down,"Are your parents in?"

"Yeah.. But they're a bit busy." She sighed.

"It's pretty important. You see, my sister and I are with the FBI." Elijah told her.

"Oh, so police." Hannah nodded.

"Right." Fleur smiled.

"They did say I could interrupt them if it was important, like the police." She held the door open,"Do you want me to take you to them?"

"Yes, please." Fleur hummed.

Hannah lead them to her parents bedroom and she knocked on the door,"Mommy. Daddy."

"Don't come in!" They shouted.

"Someome was at the door, so I let them in." She said.

"Sweetie.. We've talked about this." The mother, Alison, hummed.

"You said it was okay if it was the police, and it's the FBI." She shrugged.

The three of them heard some shouts and scatters, "I'm slipping! I'm slipping!"

"Hannah, you know uh.. We can take it from here." Elijah blinked.

"Okay, just so you know, sometimes it takes him a while to Untie her." Hannah hummed before walking off.

Elijah gave Fleur a look as Hannah walked off and they waited for her parents to.. Get ready. Eventually they all sat down together, the pair wearing robes to cover up.

"Can..I offer you anything to drink?" Alison asked.

"No- Thank you." Elijah blinked.

"We're good." Fleur nodded.

"Yes, I made equipment for Karl Brubaker. We talked on the phone, but we never met face to face." Bill told her.

"Do you have an address?" Fleur raised a brow.

"Just a P.O box. We had to make sure they could handle a delivery of that size." Alison answered.

"What did you make for him?" Fleur leaned back.

"It was a vice, connected to a pressure plate which was, in turn, vuilt around a chair. If you moved the weight off the pressure plate, the we8ght would squeeze." Alison explained.

"And if you take the weight off, how tightly would it squeeze?" Fleur blinked.

"Tight enough to cut off blood supply." Bill shrugged.

"Or oxygen?" Elijah raised a brow.

"Yes! Or oxygen." Alison nodded with a smile.

*********************************

"Here's the thing about brainwashing. It's actually a myth. You go back to MK-ULTRA, CIA dosing people with LSD and The Manchurian Cand8date, never worked." Alvez told them.

"But Scratch cracked the code with his drugs and his patients with multiple personalities." JJ mentioned.

"That's true. But I keep going back to the video that Garcia got. Now, this Desmond guy is supposed to be super delicate. One wrong word and he goes into a stupor. That's not what we're seeing. Desmond Holt is dug in. You can march the real Gabriel in here right now and Desmond is still going to insist that he's Tara's brother. I think the only way Scratch could've gotten him to that point if if there was overlap somehow. Emotional overlap, psychological overlap. If we can find that overlap, we may be able to deprogram Desmond."

"What do they share?" Fleur asked.

"Hatred.. For the father figure in their lives. Desmond played Russian Roulette with his step-father, and Gabriel.. Well, it's not the same thing, but it's close." Tara told them as she walked in.

"That's good. What else?" Luke raised a brow.

"Mom died, they were all alone.. And they needed a protector." Tara sighed.

"Luke can't save you now.' That's what Scratch said." Fleur pointed.

"I mean, we knew Scratch would be baiting us." Emily nodded.

"That name, it should have copied over. When I stopped him at the elevator, he didn't even know who I was." Luke mentioned.

"Are there any other Luke's in his life?" Elijah asked.

"Not that I can.. You gotta be kidding me." Tara cursed.

"What do you see?" Alvez asked.

"This whole time.." Tara walked to the pictures, "I thought Luke and these pictures were separate clues. They're not. They're the same clue. This is the pattern that Scratch wanted us to see. Luke, 15, 11, 32."

"The Gospel of Luke, Chapter 15, Verses 11 through 32." Elijah realized.

Tara lifted off the fifteen year old pictures of Gabriel,"I know exactly what this is."

*********************************

The team soon headed to the warehouse they believed Scratch was hiding and began the search for Gabriel.

"Clear." Luke looked around as they entered the room.

"Wait, hold up." Reid pointed to the ceiling.

"That doesn't belong." Fleur pointed.

"Lewis, Alvez, Deans, second floor. Reid, JJ, Howards, open that up, but don't disarm anything until you get my go ahead." Emily ordered.

When Tara, Luke, Elijah and Emily walked upstairs they found the real Gabriel in a trap similar to what Alison and Bill described, tied up.

"Gabriel? Youre gonna be okay, alright?" Tara told him.

"JJ? We found him. What do you guys have on your end?" Emily called JJ.

"We found the power source. If we cut the right wire, it should shut down the vice." JJ answered.

Gabriel began to panic, his eyes going towards the shotgun that was pointing at his head.

"No. No, no, no. Don't look at that. Look at me. Keep your eyes on me. Right here, right here." Tara pointed.

"The rope is heavy. Just removing it will shift the weight differential and fire the gun." Alvez explained.

"JJ, what have you got?" Emily repeated.

"We might have something, hang on." Fleur spoke as Reid carefully began to take apart the power source.

"We're gonna get you put of this. We're gonna find a way. No, no, no, no. Don't move- Don't move. Stop. Stop." Tara told him.

"It's engaging!" Luke shouted.

"No, no, no! Hold it- Stop!" Tara yelled, shielding Gabriel with her body

But.. The Shotgun never went off.

"It's a decoy. It's not actually loaded." Reid sighed.

"Okay." Elijah nodded slowly, starting to cut him free.

"Wait a minute. Why would Scratch stage this? It's not his profile, unless he's leading us into a bigger trap." Emily panicked.

Just as she said that, a sign of sorts came down from the ceiling. Exodus 8:24.

"Reid, Eli? What is Exodus, Chapter 8, Verse 24?" Emily looked at Elijah and asked Reid over the comms.

"It's one of the Plagues of Moses." Elijah told her,"And the Lord did this. Dense swarms of flies poured into the Pharoah's palace. Throughout Egypt, the land was ruined by all the flies."

Emily looked above them,"It's above us!"

"There's a redundant switch somewhere. It's going off." Fleur looked around.

"We can interrupt it if we bypass the correct fuse." Reid added.

"Get this off me." Gabriel cursed as he took the ropes off.

"Alright, this will only delay the trigger for a few seconds." Reid told them.

"Alright- Go, go! Get him off of there." Emily pointed.

Just as they managed to get Gabriel to safety, the mechanism went off and hundreds of nails were fired into the floor where he was sat.

"Is everyone okay? Anyone hurt?" Emily looked at them.

"I'm good." Alvez sighed.

"Another day without getting shot.: Elijah mumbled.

"Hey T." Gabriel smiled softly, hugging Tara.

*********************************

"Where's my little girl?" Elijah hummed as he opened the door.

"Look who it is!" Morgan chuckled, Lizzie and Hank watching cartoons beside him.

"Oh, have you two been behaving?" He looked between them.

"Ya." Hank clapped.

"Hear that, Fleur?" Reid smiled.

"Oh, I don't know.. Papa, did they behave?" Fleur crossed her arms, looking at Morgan with a smile.

"They behaved very well." Morgan hummed, ruffling Hank's curls,"Hank was very good with his baby cousin."

"They're best friends." Fleur hummed.

"As they should be." Elijah nodded.

"Just like us four." Reid nodded.

"Perfect, isn't it?" Morgan smirked.

"I suppose." Fleur joked.

"And you both had fun?" Elijah scooped up Lizzie.

Lizzie giggled and looked back at Hank.

"I'd be more than happy to take her again of need be." Morgan pointed.

"We'll have to take Hank one day. Make it fair." Reid pointed back at him.

"You'd like that, wouldn't you, bud?" Elijah looked to Hank.

Hank laughed and looked at Elijah.

"You guys better get going, it's getting late." Morgan hummed.

"We'll see you in the morning, Flo." Elijah smiled,"Goodnight, you three."

"Night." Fleur hummed, waving Hank's hand.

Elijah smiled as he and Reid left the house, Lizzie in his arms.

Once the Reids finally arrived home, Reid walked in and looked at Elijah,"Can we talk?"

"Sure?" Elijah blinked,"Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, everything's fine."

"Are you sure?" Elijah asked slowly.

"With us? Yeah." Reid assured him.

"Okay then, what is it?"

Reid sighed,"It's my mom."

"Is she okay?" Elijah questioned.

"No." He admitted,"I think soon she might be needing to be here, closer to home."

"Hey, if you ever need me to help out, I'll do it.' Elijah told him.

"I know." Reid smiled softly

"Does she still know who you are?" Elijah asked slowly.

"I..I think so for now." Reid admitted.

"For now." Elijah nodded slowly.

"I'm sorry for putting this on you." Reid sighed.

"Hey, Diana is family. She's my mother too, this is our responsibility."

"I just..I don't want her to hurt Lizzie."

"She won't. We'll make sure of it." Elijah took his hands.

Reid nodded slowly,"Let's go to bed, yeah?"

"Oh, yes please." Elijah kissed his cheek.

"Deal." Reid chuckled.
