DISCLAIMER: Unfortunately, I don't own Criminal minds. If I did, I wouldn't be here. The only character here I own is Dan and I want to kill him. =) Happy reading!
Prologue
"The greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse." -- Edmund Burke
He was gone. He was finally gone and, from what little time he had, Spencer felt safe. Alone…but safe.
He had an hour to wash up and get ready for work. What to do about his newest bruise? How to cover this one up? What lie could he invent this time? I mean, after all, how many times does a person walk into a door?
Coming out of the closet was hard enough; especially since the one team member he seemed to be the closest to—Derek Morgan—seemed to be avoiding him lately. If coming out of the closet to his team was hard, telling them that his lover abuses him, well there was just no doing that. They don't understand it's been hard for him and Dan lately. With him away on business trips for months at a time, it is hard for them to set up a vacation for them—a first trip as a couple. They had one all planned out for a week after Christmas, but they had to postpone it because Spencer had to work. That was not pleasant….
