I know I have another fic started of Reid getting the call that his mother had been killed but I just could not get this scene out of my head. I've been thinking about it for a while. Sigh... I just love torturing Reid, and don't worry! I plan on updating my older CM fics too! Really soon!

Prologue

Reid scanned the lounging area in the mental hospital. He was eager for the surprise visit. He hadn't visited his mother in nearly a year. Guilt had finally.

"Spencer." His mother's doctor strolled up to him. "This is a nice surprise."

"Where is she?" Confusion filled the young man. The doctor sighed.

"Today is not a good day. She's in her room, resting."

Reid nodded, worry in him.

"Is it serious?"

"No, she just had an episode. We decided she should be alone today but I'm sure a visit from her son will cheer her up. She's very proud of you, you know. Talks about you being her greatest achievment."

Reid flushed and mumbled a thank you for the report.

Eager to be out of the lime light he left to find his mothers room.

He was nervous. He hadn't seen her in so long. Would she be angry for not visiting? He still wrote to her every night and called her every week.

Dear Mom,

Today was filled with meetings. This UnSub is more tricky than usual. Hotch is getting really upset we can't catch him yet. He's more angry at himself, I think. I'm really sorry for not getting to Las Vegas as much as I should. It's just with JJ being on maternity leave we've been swamped more than usual. I know you always say there's no such thing as excuses so I really am sorry.

I'll try and visit as soon as possible.

Oh and Did I tell you how I'm Henry's Godfather? I still don't know why JJ made me his Godfather. I mean, what do I know about kids? I'll bring pictures of him when I come. I'm planning on calling Yale as soon as possible to put in a reservation for him, if they do that.

Love Spencer

He thought of the pictures of Henry in his bag and smiled. He had grown more and more fond of the baby. He still couldn't grasp the concept of Godfather, though. Seemed so foriegn to him. Kind of terrified him. He stopped when he saw the door was open ajar.

"Mom?" He pushed it open and stared in horror at the sight in front of him.

Blood was everwhere. So much blood. But he didn't notice that. All he noticed was his mother's body sprawled onto the bed, a knife plunged into her chest. Her eyes still open, wide-terror in them.

He slipped on some blood and stumbled backwards as he grabbed hold of the doorway he just stared in horrified shock at the site in front of him, tears in his eyes.

He felt cold all over. Like he was falling out of his body but nothing was moving.

"Mom?" His voice sounded so scared, so childlike. A nurse was walking down the hallway and then stopped in front of the same room. She saw the body and took of screaming. He remained frozen in place, unable to move, unable to think, and unable to breathe.
