Chapter 4

“Agent Hotchner, FBI” Hotch held up his badge to the secretary at the Sanitatirium. “These are Agents Morgan and Prentiss and this is Dr. Reid” Morgan and Prentiss shook the woman’s hand but Reid just waved a little awkwardly.

“You’re Diana’s son, right?” the woman asked and Reid nodded “She’s going to be so happy to see you” she smiled and Reid just nodded again.

“Actually, we were wondering if you could tell us about a woman who visits Diana every week. She signs in as Rose Black?” Hotch asked her.

“Of course” she smiled “I always man the desks every Wednesday and Thursday and every week, without fail, the same woman comes to visit Diana. She must be about the same age as Dr. Reid and she’s British with shoulder length light brown hair” the woman informed them.

“When did she start visiting?” Morgan asked.

“Erm, about a year ago i think” she answered as she checked her records “No, exactly a year ago yesterday actually”

“And what did she say her reason for visiting was?” Prentiss looked at the woman.

“She said that she used to know Diana and Dr. Reid when she was younger but she had to go away for a while and just heard that Diana was here. She said that she had to come and see if she was ok”

“Had to?” Prentiss frowned.

“Yeah” the woman nodded “I distinctively remember that part because she sounded very sad when she said it”

“Ok, thanks for your help” Hotch nodded before turning round to Reid “Are you sure you don’t remember...” but he stopped when he saw Reid’s face.

“I do remember” he whispered quietly “I do remember her” he quickly pulled out his ancient phone and rang a number “Garcia, i need you to check the records for Hanna-Rose Black, Rose isn’t her middle name it’s the second half of her first” Reid clarified before hanging up “We need to get back to Quantico”
