DISCLAIMER- I sadly do not own Criminal Minds, CBS does. I hope you enjoy. :)
Reid groaned when he heard his cell phone ringing and buzzing on his nightstand. He knew for a fact that Hotch was calling him into work for a case; and he felt like he was in no condition to go to work.
"Hello?", Reid answered with a scratchy throat, he had been up coughing all night. "Reid, we need the team to come in for a case. Are you feeling okay?" Reid coughed, "I feel fine Hotch. I will be in there ASAP." Hotch hung up the phone. Well, I guess I have to make myself look presentable, Reid thought to himself.
Reid rolled out of bed and slowly shuffled to his bathroom. When he turned on the light and looked into the mirror, he became mortified; he looked terrible.
His hair was more crazier than usual, he was as pale as a ghost; the only color on his face with his red cheeks and nostrils from blowing his nose all night. Reid hurriedly jumped into the shower, freshening up made him feel a bit better.
When he got out of the shower, his fever caused him to develop goosebumps all over his skin. He hurriedly got into warm clothing and headed to the subway; he didn't want to be late.
The first one to notice Reid's condition was Blake. "Are you okay Spencer?", Blake asked as Reid walked by her desk and set his messenger bag down on his. "Yeah, what makes you think I'm not?" Blake sighed. "Your hair looks wild, your tie is crooked, and you have actually matching socks on today." Reid looked at his socks panicked, she was right, they were matching.
"Thank you for your concern Alex, but I am fine. I just had a long night, I was finishing War And Peace." Blake sighed and returned to her file that she was working on unconvinced. "Okay whatever you say Spencer. But, if you need anything, just tell me." Reid nodded. "Okay Alex, Thank you." Everyone headed up for the conference room for briefing.
"It's a bad one everyone." That was the first thing that Penelope said while everyone came in and sat down. "Three toddlers murdered within a week in Boise Idaho; Abigail Michaels, Tommy Owens, and Layla Bowers." Reid could barely concentrate on what Garcia was saying; his stomach was turning, he started to feel extremely light headed, he felt like he needed to vomit. He got up and quickly tried to run to the bathroom but his knees gave out. The last thing he remembers is his whole body feeling tingly and everyone running and screaming, "Reid!"
