I don't own Criminal Minds

As we all know, there has been HUGE talk about Spencer having a MAJOR secret in season six. I'm dying to know what it! So I decided to write a "What If" story. Hope you like it!

Enjoy

Spencer Reid, SSA Agent and genius, sat on his couch after a long day at work. He took a large stack of files home to finish and got himself a coffee at his favorite shop on the way home. His watch read 8:30pm and the team was given the weekend off after a weeklong case last week and nothing but mountain of paperwork after that. It would be nice to relax and watch a documentary with a cup of coffee.

After an hour or so, Spencer yawned loudly and decided to get some sleep. He put on his sleepwear and hopped into bed. Snuggling into the covers, he sighed happily as his eyes slowly closed.

"I finally found you Spencer."

Spencer's eyes shot open when he saw a gun being pointed right at his face and a man dressed in all black staring down at him.

-Two days later-

Everyone shuffled into the office, Morgan's eyes were bloodshot and he practically staggered over to the break room to get coffee.

"Partied WAY to hard last night…"

Garcia laughed when he saw him plop down into his seat. The others walked in and got to work immediately…except for Spencer.

Morgan noticed that Spencer was missing and looked about the room to see is he was at the coffee machine or just walking in. He wasn't in the office at all.

Hotch walked out of his office upstairs and looked down at the bullpen, he frowned when he saw Spencer was absent.

"Morgan have you spoken to Reid at all this morning?"

Morgan shook his head. The rest of the team noticed Spencer strange absence.

"Do you think he's sick" asked JJ.

"Well if is, he would have called…or just came to work anyway regardless" said Rossi.

"I'm calling his cell" said Prentiss as she heard the phone ring.

"No answer" she said after hearing ring for over two minutes.

Suddenly, an agent with a package in his hand walks up to the team. "Uh, this was addressed to your team Agent Hotchner."

Hotch took the package and eyed it warily, he had a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach. He gently opened it and took out a DVD and a photograph. It was a picture of Spencer's family. Hotch's blood ran cold as he handed the contents to the others. They all had an equally same feeling.

Everyone gathered in the conference room and shut the blinds of the window to the rest of the office. Garcia popped the DVD into the player. They all gasped when they saw Spencer Reid sitting in a cell with his ankles shackled. He looked so frightened and was shaking. His clothes were ripped up and blood-stained. He was sobbing and looked as if he was beaten badly.

Suddenly the scene changed to a man that had a mask on. He was using a voice changer to the team couldn't identify the voice.

"Hello agents, as you saw in the last shot, your Agent Spencer Reid is fine…for the moment."

The man chuckled in a way that made their skin crawl. "You know…family is so important right. What are you without it? I had one a long time ago and…some things happen. Yet I must say…Spencer indeed had an unorthodox family. A father that left him and a mentally-ill mother. Despite all that, here he is, an FBI agent and genius."

The team watched as the man showed them another DVD. "You'll be getting more of these and some guests will be joining you soon. Until then agents."

The DVD stopped.

The team didn't move, until Hotch took a breath and told Garcia to try to enhance the image of the man if she could. Garcia was able to move after another minute and rushed to her office with the DVD in her hand.

Morgan did everything he could not to punch the wall or flip the table over. JJ had tears in her eyes; Spencer was already abducted once and once is enough. Prentiss was shelled shocked and stood motionless, her best friend has been alone and possibly tortured for TWO DAYS. Rossi was trying the best he could not to lash out and kept his emotions in check but after seeing that, it's proving difficult. Hotch sat in a chair and gave a heavily sigh. Two days of god knows what for Spencer in that cell. The possibilities were horrifying.

#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#

Spencer sat in his cell, breathing heavily and in terrible pain. He had been beaten so many times that he felt nothing but agony every time he moved. His vision was blurry and he was so tired that he was about to drift asleep until he heard the metal door slam open.

"Wakey Wakey Spencer…time for dinner."

The man had a tray of chicken soup and a glass of water. The man noticed that Spencer could barely move so he spoon-fed the soup. Spencer was too weak to protest, so he quietly ate.

"You know…it's been so long since I've seen you. You still have your mother's beautiful eyes."

The man kept feeding him as Spencer listened to him talk about him…and his mother. How did he know about his mom?

#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#

"I'm sorry Hotch, I couldn't pull anything off the image" said Garcia sadly. Hotch slammed his fist down in frustration.

JJ came into the room, "Hotch we found no fingerprints on the DVD or the picture. However the picture looked to be an original, not a copy made. It still has the original date and a note on the back that was written by Spencer's mom."

A lovely picture of my wonderful son and husband.

Diana Reid

"The unsub may know the "Reid family personally."

Suddenly Prentiss ran into the room, "Guys, you're never going to believe this."

Outside in the bullpen, Diana and William Reid was waiting with tears in their eyes.

#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$##$#$#$#

"We both got a package last night and saw Spencer…I got Diana out of the hospital and flew here. The package told us that we had to go to you or else he would hurt Spencer" said William. Diana sat silently in her chair but was crying.

"Who would hurt my baby…" Diana was on her meds but she was good enough to travel, but the stress of seeing her son beaten was taking a toll on her.

William gently put his hand on her shoulder. Despite all that had happened between them, he still cared for his wife and son.

"Do you have any idea on who could have done this" asked Morgan.

William shook his head but Diana looked up in horror. "What is it" asked JJ gently.

"Peter…"

#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$##$#$#$#$#$$#$

Spencer was so cold and tried to curl into a ball to preserve any body heat he had left. The man came back into the room and tossed a blanket in. Before Spencer could say anything, he left.

Spencer was so confused; after he had beaten him the man would treat his injures and feed him soup. Just who was he?

As Spencer wrapped himself in the blanket, he noticed that there was a picture among the folds. Spencer saw his mom standing next to a man with three other children. One of the children was him as a newborn baby. The other two looked like him. Spencer stared at the photo for a long time. He sank into the wall and breathed hard. The realization hit him like a semi-truck.

#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$##$#

"Who is Peter" asked Morgan.

William looked over at Diana and sighed when his wife didn't answer. "Diana's ex-husband. We never told Spencer about him."

"Why" asked Garcia.

"He is a monster…before Diana and I met, Diana was married to a man named Peter Walls. They had three kids including Spencer. We met when she was pregnant with Spencer and became great friends. He was only three months old when…"

Flashback

Diana Reid was sleeping peacefully in her bed when baby Spencer started to wail in the other room. She got up and went into his room to soothe the baby back to sleep. But she noticed that Spencer was not in his bed but in Peter's arms.

"Peter…why are you still up. Oh honey you woke Spencer up…"

She stopped dead in her tracks when she saw the blood stains on his shirt.

"Peter…why are you covered in blood?"

Peter didn't move. "Hand me the baby."

Without a word, Diana took Spencer out of his arms and tried to calm him down. Peter stood motionless.

"Peter…why are you covered in blood" she asked again. She then noticed the blood trail that led out to the bedrooms of her two other children. Hysterical and in shock she ran into their rooms and witnessed the horrible massacre that took place.

End Flashback

"He was treated to be mentally ill and taken to a hospital in Nevada…Diana divorced him and well, we got married when Spencer turned two."

"How in the world did Peter get out" said Diana.

Garcia was hard at work on her laptop and found out that Peter was moved to a facility in Virginia because of his violent behavior.

"But how did he find Spencer?"

Suddenly, an agent came into the room with another package.

#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$$#$#$

Spencer was woken up by the metal door bursting open. The man roughly lifted Spencer and gently dropped him into a car.

"Were going camping Spencer" he said as he started the car and drove off. Spencer, weak and tired, slipped into sleep again.
