Diclaimer: I don't own Criminal Minds. If I did, do you think Emily would be leaving… again? Nope! Anything you recognize is not mine.
Summary: When one of your own goes missing, how do you react when you stumble apon them years after on a case not even related to his disappearance?
FBI and SWAT teams stormed through the building, guns raised high. This was the last time this man would evade them. "FBI, come out where we can see you Gregory Adams!" Derek yelled into the building. "You can't run!"
A man darted past the people and to the door. Everyone turned their head quickly, hoping to be able to get a shot before he disappeared, but the man was already into the woods behind his house. They were about to go after him when a gunshot went off. Everyone ran towards the sound, and were surprised to see Gregory Adams laying on the ground dead with a bullet hole in his head. Heads turned up to see a frightened man, no older than twenty-four holding a gun up and had it pointed at the Gregory.
Aaron slowly walked towards the boy with his hands raised in the air in an attempt to not seem dangerous. He was able to get close to the boy before a gun was pointed at him. "D-Don't get any closer!" the boy shrieked.
Aaron looked at the boy and a look of pure horror spread across his face. "Spencer?" he whispered quietly. "Is that you?"
The boy seemed even more frightened at this. "H-How do you know my name?" he asked, fear clouding his eyes. He looked throughout the people gathered around him, not understanding what was going on, confused of why they looked like they cared about him.
JJ handed her gun to Emily and walked over to the boy. "Spence," she whispered, just loud enough for the boy to hear her. "Don't you remember us?" JJ saw confusion flicker about inside of him. "It's me, JJ."
"JJ…" the boy said to himself, as if trying to find something that would give him a reason to harm her. "You left me."
Aaron took a step closer because of the distraction. "Spencer, it's me, Aaron Hotchner, your boss," he told him. It was clear to him that this boy was Spencer now.
Spencer turned around, shocked at how close Aaron was. "You all abandoned me. You left me to get murdered. You just left…" he said, a tear rolling down his face. Spencer shook his head. "Why didn't you look for me?"
"We did look for you, every moment we had. But we still had work Spence," JJ said. "We need to get going, so are you coming with us or not?" Her voice was colder as she processed the words she heard. Spencer though we abandoned him! She thought to herself.
Spencer put his head down. "Are you going to leave me here again?" he asked.
"Of course not kid," Derek said, walking closer to his lost teammate. "We wouldn't be able to if we tried.
"Where are we?" Spencer asked as he looked at the forest he was in. "What state are we in? I want to know how far away I was from you guys."
"D.C.'s only a little ways out kid," Derek said, and held his hand out to Spencer. "Now, you coming with us or not?"
Spencer reluctantly took Derek's hand and followed him as he walked to the government issued SUVs. "Derek, did you really keep looking for me?" Spencer asked silently.
"Yeah kid. There was no reason not to," Derek said, and helped Spencer into one of the vehicles. JJ hopped in next to Spencer, and Derek drove off in the direction of a hospital in D.C.
