Chapter 45 - ... And back

"Who the hell are you people?" Mason asked.

"You are Mason Turner?" JJ tilted her hesd.

"Dr Turner." He corrected.

"This is my sister, Lee Hightower. Has she been here?" William showed Mason a picture of Lee.

"Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on?" Mason sighed.

"We're with the FBI. We've been invited by the RCMP to assist in an ongoing investigation." Hotch explained.

"You haven't been invited into my home, my Canadian home. Now get the hell out before I call the proper authorities." Mason warned.

"We- We are the proper authorities." Fleur blinked, looking at Elijah.

"He's crazy." Elijah mouthed to Fleur.

"Telephone, dial number 9-1-1." Mason spoke.

The telephone brightened up, dialing 911,"911, what's your emergency?"

"This is Dr Mason Turner, 11712 Scott Road." Mason began.

"That won't be necessary." Elijah sighed.

"I want these people out of my home. They don't have any right to be here." Mason spoke.

"Agent Hotchner, Agent Rossi, may I have a word with you please?" Bedwell turned to them as he walked out.

Fleur looked around the room, trying to figure out how this man could be their UnSub as the others walked out.

"Fleur.. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Elijah whispered to her.

Fleur looked towards him,"Depends what you're thinking."

"Well, look at him.. I don't think he's killing anybody." Elijah glanced at Mason,"But he's definitely still involved."

"Maybe a partner." Fleur nodded.

"Guys, Morgan and Emily found something outside." JJ walked in.

Fleur nodded, walking outside to the others with Elijah,"What have we found?"

"There's a box next to the pigs. It's like a garbage bin or something." Morgan told her,"It's full of nothing but bloody shoes. All different sizes, male and female. We said we were looking for ten missings? There's gotta be over a hundred pairs of shoes in that thing."

They all looked between each other as Morgan lead them to the large box of shoes. Emily was stood beside it, shining her torch inside.

"These are.. They belong to victims?" Bedwell spoke, he was lost for words.

"Possibly." Emily nodded.

"Why just the shoes? Why not the bodies?" Bedwell sighed.

"I don't think there's going to be any bodies, guys." Reid told them as he turned to look at the pig pen,"Pigs are omnivores. They'll eat anything. By anything, I mean anything."

"It takes a pig roughly eight minutes to eat an average human." Elijah mumbled.

"I want to go talk to Mason, it that's okay?" Fleur asked, looking back at the house.

"Knock yourself out." Rossi nodded,"He's not going anywhere."

Fleur turned back towards the house, walking inside,"They need help outside." She told JJ.

JJ nodded as she started to leave,"I'm on it."

Fleur closed the door, turning to Mason and walking forward.

"Did something.. Happen out there?" Mason asked her.

"You know what we found." Fleur walked forward towards a mirror, turning it away.

"How could I? You know I'm.." Mason paused when she moved the mirror,"Hey, don't touch that."

"You know exactly what's out there. You watched the whole thing." Fleur shrugged, moving a larger mirror away.

"Put that back!"

"You like watching, don't you?"

"This is not your jurisdiction." Mason stated.

"Well, I'm not going to arrest you." Fleur then turned another mirror away.

"Stop that! Phone, dial number 9-" Although Fleur took of his headset, preventing him from calling,"You can't do this to me."

"I'm not doing anything to you." Fleur shrugged as she sat down on his bed,"In fact, you don't even have to talk to me. As you said, I have no jurisdiction here. But almost every policeman in Ontario is on their way to this farm and they do have jurisdiction."

"Listen lady, I don't know what you're talking about-"

"Some very bad things have happened here and they're going to discover it all. Now, Mason.." Fleur hovered her hand over Mason's oxygen piece,"How many victims were there? A hundred? More? Do you even know for sure?"

"I need.. My mirrors." Mason glared at her.

"No. What you need is something to make you look less like the monster we both know you really are." Fleur leaned forward.

"How can you call me that? I never laid a hand on anybody." Mason told her.

"You need to tell me where the other guy is before he kills Kelly, your latest victim." Fleur pointed,"So how much time does she have, Mason? How much time do you have before I'm unable to say that you helped me?"

"It was my brother, Lucas. He's crazy. He did all of it. He did this to me too." Mason admitted,"I wanted to try and stop him.. How could I?"

"Why didn't you call for help?"

"I tried the once, but he found out. He beat me. He almost killed me. You don't understand what it's like to  be completely vulnerable to someone who's capable of the things that he's done."

"Where is he right now?" Fleur sighed.

"I wish I could help you. I don't know what he does when he leaves me." Mason answered.

"He has a girl with him, a young girl from Detroit." Fleur told him.

"Then you... Should pray for her. There's a picture of him in the other room. It was taken years ago, but it still looks like him." Mason told her,"I should want you, he's crazy and very big. Inhumanly strong. When you find him, you should warn everyone, if they don't kill him first, he'll kill all of you."

Fleur took a step back, going into the other room and grabbing the picture of Lucas before walking outside.

"Fleur- Did you get anything?" Elijah turned to her.

Fleur sighed, holding up the picture of Lucas as she joined the team,"We have a picture. This is Lucas Turner, according to Mason, he's the UnSub. Mason claims he's a victim himself."

"Does Mason know where Lucas would take the girl?" Hotch asked.

"Claims he has no idea." Fleur shrugged.

"Reid, Lucas is your assignment. Find his room, his things, anything that might tell us where he would go." Hotch pointed.

"On it." Reid nodded.

"One more thing. Mason warned me that his brother is extremely psychotic. Says he won't go down without a fight." Fleur added.

"Prentiss, have JJ get the picture and description to the press when they get here. Put them to work for us. Somebody's gonna notice a man that big." Hotch instructed.

"Yeah, got it." Emily walked off.

"Uh, I've got a question.." Elijah raised his hand,"Are we just supposed to believe Mason on this?"

"I don't believe him. He said we shouldn't even try to talk talk his brother. We should shoot first." Fleur sighed.

"Well, that's either helpful advice.." Hotch began.

"Or a way for half a team to clean up loose ends." Fleur nodded,"Either way, this is some family."

"That's certainly one way to put it." Elijah shook his head.

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

"That is my personal property." Mason told Fleur as she closed the laptop on his desk.

"Not anymore."

"I showed you the warrant." Bedwell put his hands on his hips

"I have research on there. Proprietary research! Intellectual property. I helped you, and told you everything I know!"

"If what you told my friend here is your total involvement, there shouldn't be anything on this computer that you don't want us to see." Elijah hummed as he passed it to Garcia.

"Do you think need anything?" Bedwell asked Fleur and Elijah.

"No. Me and Mason are having a great time, aren't we, Mason?" Elijah sat on the bed, smiling at Mason.

Fleur sat down on the chair, leaning back as Bedwell left the room.

"Once I saw my brother strangle a man so forcefully, blood dripped from his eye sockets. I'm not talking petechia. Actual dripping blood.. He can be very volatile when things don't go his way." Mason told them.

"Are you trying to scare me?" Elijah raised a brow.

"I'm just saying you better hurry up and find that girl or he's going to tear her to pieces." Mason warned.

After some time, Garcia walked back into the room quietly, looking shaken.

"Penny?" Fleur walked over to her.

Garcia looked over at Mason,"They were doing experiments.."

"Experiments?" Fleur asked.

"Unsuccessful ones." Mason added.

"He tried to fix himself.." Garcia looked off.

"Would it be better if it was all for nothing?" Mason questioned.

"They were human beings." Fleur pointed.

"They were transients and drug addicts and prostitutes. They were useless to society. I gave them the chance to be a part of the cure, to be of use." Mason told them.

"Thats.." Garcia trailed off.

"That's science." Mason stated.

"No, it isn't." Elijah shook his head.

"Look, so you got some information off my laptop. So what? What jury is going to believe I had the power to kill anyone? I haven't been able to move from my neck down for seven years. And even if you could convict me of something, what punishment could he worse than the life I already lead? Find my idiot brother, exact your pound of flesh and leave me the hell alone." Mason sighed.

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

"They were doing experiments." Elijah shook his head as he and Fleur walked out to the others.

"Spinal regeneration?" Reid asked

"Probably. He was definitely trying to fix himself." Fleur nodded.

"Stem cell harvesting? The equipments far too unsophisticated. There's no way it would have ever worked." Reid shook his head.

"Hotch, you were a prosecutor. Could you convict this guy?" Rossi turned to him,"A quadriplegic who clearly never touched any of the victims?"

"I don't know. We need to concentrate on Kelly." Hotch sighed,"We can't worry about the other stuff right now."

"He might get away with this." Elijah crossed his arms.

Fleur shook her head,"I'm going back in."

"Want me to come with you?" Elijah asked.

"If you'd like. Might help me resist the urge to charge my phone." Fleur crossed her arms.

"Trust me, doll. I'll do my best." Elijah hummed.

"Come on." Fleur walked back into the house,"So.. How did you end up like this?'

"What difference does it make?" Mason asked.

"None. I guess." Fleur shrugged,"We're curious."

"My brother pushed me out of the loft. I wanted to sell the farm. I had just finished medical school. It would have given me a nice down payment on a private practice in the city." Mason told them.

"But the farm was all Lucas knew." Fleur nodded.

"Lucas doesn't handle angry well." Mason chuckled softly.

"Is that why you hate him?" Elijah raised a brow.

"Hate him? He's done nothing but take care of me every day since then." Mason sighed.

"You said not to even try talking to him if we find him. That sounds like you want us to kill him." Elijah crossed his arms.

"That's not hate. That's a favor. My brother couldn't survive without me." He admitted.

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

Kelly's phone had briefly reconnected before dropping dead again and so the team had hurried out into the woods to her GPS Location.

"It should be right here." Hotch looked around,"This is where the signal came from."

"There's nothing here." Morgan shook his head.

"Kelly?" Emily called out,"Kelly!"

"Kelly!" Fleur looked around, "We need to split up."

Everyone nodded and began splitting up, all of them yelling for Kelly. They needed to find her.

"Guys." Reid called, running over to a hatch.

"Go ahead." Hotch nodded as they approached, guns raised.

"Kelly Shane?!" Morgan shouted as Reid opened the hatch.

"I'm down here!" Came Kelly's voice.

"Lucas Turner, this is the FBI." Hotch walked down the hatch, pulling Kelly away.

"Just put your hands up, okay?" Kelly nodded to Lucas.

Lucas sobbed, he was so confused. He didn't know what to do, so he held his hands up. He was getting so scared.. So he got up and tried to leave. That's when the SWAT team started firing at him.

"No- What are you doing?! Stop!" Elijah shouted at them.

"He didn't do anything!" Fleur quickly holstered her gun.

But.. He was gone. Lucas fell to the ground, dead.

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

Morgan sighed as he held the door open for Fleur,"Today's case.. It was a rough one."

Fleur sighed and walked in,"I can't.. I keep seeing Lucas' face. He was just so confused." She rubbed her face.

"They shouldn't have shot him." Morgan shook his head, rubbing Fleur's back.

"He didn't know any better." Fleur looked back at him, crouching down and petting Marie.

"I know, baby." Morgan bent down as well,"Look, how about I do something nice for you? To take your mind off it."

"Hm?" Fleur turned to him.

"What about a bath, hm? I can get it all sorted for you."

"That would be perfect." Fleur nodded,"Merci."

Morgan kissed her cheek,"I'll come get you when it's ready."

Fleur hummed, nodding as she lifted Marie up, kissing her head. Marie purred as she pawed at Fleur's face.

"You're such a pretty kitty." Fleur smiled.

Marie meowed in agreement before she licked Fleur's fingers.

"Come on. Let's get you and your brother some dinner." She chuckled.

At the word dinner, Beau hurried into the room and started nudging Fleur with his nose.

"Yes Beau, I'll get you your dinner." Fleur laughed.

Beau barked excitedly as he hurried to the kitchen as the sound of running water could be heard from the bathroom.

"Oh? Is that a bath I hear?"

"I don't know, honey. Is it?" Morgan asked, poking his head out of the bathroom.

Fleur smiled,"Just what I need."

"You're gonna love it." Morgan hummed.

"Did you add bulles?" She tilted her head.

"It wouldn't be a bath without them." Morgan chuckled.

"Oh, mon cherié." Fleur ran over and kissed his cheek,"Thank you."

"You're welcome." Morgan smiled at her, gently holding her waist

"Want to help me.. Wash my hair?" Fleur suggested.

"I'd love to." Morgan put his hand on her cheek,"Je t'aime tellement."

"Perfect." Fleur smiled.

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

Elijah was stood in the kitchen, he'd just given Horatio his dinner after being meowed at for nearly ten minutes.

"Hey.. Everything okay?" Reid walked up to him.

"I'll be alright." Elijah nodded.

"Sure?" Reid dried his hair with a towel, he thought it was getting too long.

"I'm sure." Elijah reached up, starting to play with Reid's hair.

"I think I should cut it soon."

"I think you'll look nice with whatever haircut you choose." Elijah hummed,"I like it long."

"Do you know how to do hairstyles? Like.. Braids?"

"Reid. I was a gay man in college with mainly female friends. I can do hair." Elijah reminded him.

"Okay. Run upstairs and grab my brush please?" Reid hummed.

"Of course." Elijah smiled and headed upstairs.

When Elijah went into the bedroom, there was a basket and box on the bed. Elijah raised a brow as he walked over to the basket. He didn't remember this being there. Inside.. Was a small orange kitten, biting the edge of the box next to it.

"Oh my god.. Oh my god! Hello baby." Elijah scooped up the small kitten.

The kitten nibbled on Elijah's fingers as he moved around.

"Aw, I love you already." Elijah smiled as he held the kitten.

The kitten jumped out of his arms and pounced on the small box

"You're so small." Elijah crouched down, watching the kitten.

The kitten meowed, spinning around.

"Right-What was I here for again?" Elijah blinked, standing up and this time looking inside the box.

Inside the box was.. A ring. Elijah carefully picked up the ring and covered his mouth. He was expecting a ring at some point but he wasn't expecting to get so emotional.

"I think..I win." Reid smiled from the door.

"Reid, I'm going to cry." Elijah quickly rubbed his eyes as he turned around.

"Oh don't." Reid chuckled,"Don't cry i in front of the child.

Elijah walked over to Reid and hugged him tightly,"You're too good to me. You know that, right?"

"I wouldn't go that far." Reid hummed.

"But you are." Elijah looked up at him.

"I told you I'd get you a ring." He laughed

"But still."

"He needs a name."

Elijah looked over at the kitten, again trying to eat the box,"Rigatoni."

"Riga- Rigatoni?" Reid blinked.

"Yes, and we shall call him Tony, for short." Elijah leaned against Reid.

"And don't worry, Horatio has already met him."

"Spencer.. I'm really lucky that you're mine." Elijah gently cupped Reid's face.

"Even though I look like Serverus Snape?" Reid smiled.

Elijah kissed his cheek,"Even though you look like Severus Smape."

"Good. That would've been the dealbreaker." He chuckled.

"I love you." Elijah leaned against his chest.

"I love you too."
