A/N: This started off as a long one-shot but after finishing writing it up in my notebook, I had litterally used up half of the entire book so I decided to split it into several chapters.

I have been working on this for months and I didn't want to upload anything until I completed the whole thing so that if i got stuck in writers block, I wouldn't be keeping anyone writing.

So I have this all completed, I just think I'll be updating the chapters every few days to see what you guys think. Anyway...off with the story

Say Something

Chapter 1

The first day Morgan walked into the bullpen, he had been surprised to find that he had gotten there before Reid. It wasn't often when Reid was late, and when he was, something was up.

"Where's pretty boy" Morgan asked JJ as she walked passed him. She looked around the bullpen with furrowed eyebrows and shrugged.

"Perhaps there were a few train delays" she guessed.

Morgan considered the idea but surely Reid would have called one of them to let them know that he was going to be late.

He never showed up for work that day...

Day two and Morgan spent most of the day concerned for his best friend. He was calling Reid but his phone always went straight to voicemail. Morgan wondered if Reid had listened to the many voice messages he had left on his phone that day.

The third day without hearing from Reid had every team member worrying so Hotch gave Morgan and JJ permission to find out what was going on. Morgan was more than happy to do so; needing to know that the man he viewed as his little brother was okay.

When Morgan and JJ reached Reid's apartment building , they hurried up the stairs, anxious to see if he was there. Morgan banged on his door, loud enough to alert the whole neighborhood in hope that his best friend would rush to the door.

He didn't.

"Reid? Kid, it's Morgan and JJ. Open the door!" he shouted.

There was no response so JJ and Morgan took a glance at one another.

"Spence? We just need to know that you're okay. You haven't shown up for work in three days. We're worried about you" JJ spoke through the door.

There was still no response.

Both of the profilers grew worried and was evident on both of their faces.

"Should I break down the door?" Morgan questioned JJ.

JJ was about to give him the go ahead but quickly decided to check on the door first. She reached her hand out to grab the door handle and turned it to find that it was open.

"Spencer never leaves his door unlocked" JJ whispered in a wobbly voice, afraid for her friend.

Morgan walked straight in and looked around Reid's apartment to find the whole place in darkness...except from the glowing light coming from the closed bathroom door. Reid hated the dark and it only made sense that if he was anywhere in this building, it was in there. JJ and Morgan stole another glance at each other.

"Reid?" Morgan called again, the silent reply causing him to push open the second door.

"Spence!" JJ said allowed, at first relieved to see him but then panic seized her as she saw what state he was in.

Spencer Reid sat in the dry shower with his knees brought up to his chest, eyes red from both crying and being sleep deprived, knuckles red from chewing them recklessly, hair messy from not being brushed for days as well as being pulled at repeatedly and he was wearing the same clothes as he had when JJ and Morgan last saw him. He was deathly pale and most likely hadn't eaten a thing for the past few days.

"Reid, man, what the hell happened to you?" Morgan asked, quietly as he moved forward and crouched in front of his friend.

Reid still hadn't said a word. JJ had blinked her eyes to avoid crying as she felt the tears reach her eyelids. She had never seen somebody look so awful. She noticed that there was a slight rocking motion to his body but he showed no sign that he was aware that she or Morgan were there. It was clear that something had happened and she was scared for him.

"Come on man, say something. You're scaring us" Morgan stated, his voice getting a little shaky.

Morgan stood up after another unresponsive moment.

"I'm gonna call Hotch" he muttered as he walked passed JJ, pulling out his phone.

JJ decided to try and get a response from him as she took Morgans place and crouched in front of Reid.

"What happened, Spence" she asked, gently.

Reid continued to sit there, rocking his body, nervously chewing his knuckles. It made JJ uncomfortable. She lightly touched his wrist and pulled his arm away from his mouth. His whole body froze. If JJ was scared at first, she was terrified for him now. This behavior wasn't anything like she had seen before. The room was deadly silent and she could hear Morgan on the phone in the other room.

"I don't know, Hotch. Somethings not right. He's in some sort of catatonic state. Like he's in shock or something. Look, man, you gotta come round here. He isn't responding to either of us and something has definitely happened to him" Morgan spoke into the phone.

JJ wondered if Reid could hear them talk or if he was completely out of it. JJ kept her light hand on Spencer's arm in an attempt to comfort him. She wasn't sure if she was doing any good but she had to do something!

Hotch had arrived not long after finishing his call with Morgan and struggled to keep his face expressionless as he took in Reid's state when he walked in.

"I need the two of you to give him some space. If all three of us are in here, it's gonna make him feel crowded and that won't help anybody" Hotch stated as-a-matter-of-factly.

JJ felt hesitant but let go of Reid's arm and stood to leave the room again. Morgan followed after taking a final glance at Reid, seeing how he started rocking his body again with JJ's absence.

Hotch just stood there for a moment, watching Reid, thinking about the best way to approach him. After JJ had left, his hand had returned to his mouth and gnawed at his knuckles once more.

Hotch guessed that his best option was to move him out of the shower and place him somewhere more comfortable and hopefully manage to get him to eat or drink.

"Reid? Come on, lets get you out of there?" Hotch murmured, putting an arm around the younger team member. He felt Reid stiffen at the touch but with little force, Hotch managed to guide him to stand up and move. It wasn't until Reid was fully out that Hotch had noticed it.

Blood.

In the spot that Reid had been sitting.

Hotch had felt sick at the sight, not being able to stand the idea of his subordinate being hurt. His suspicions of what may have happened raised when he noticed that Reid's pants, too, were damp with blood. This was not looking good.

"Hotch, I called..." Morgan froze as he, too, spotted the pain Reid must have gone through, to lose so much blood. The fact that he hadn't consumed any water or food would have made things worse. Morgan would have expected Reid to fall unconscious.

"Call for an ambulance" Hotch ordered Morgan, trying his best to stay calm.

Morgan opened his mouth to say something but he was lost for words. He stood there for a moment, unable to move. Seeing Reid like this brought back memories of his own childhood and he would never wish for what happened to him to happen to anyone. Something like that could destroy a person, and he couldn't bare for somebody as innocent as Reid to be described as broken.

And yet, here Reid stood where Hotch had placed him with evident signs of sexual assault.

"Morgan" Hotch brought him out of his head. He suddenly remembered Hotch's request and pulled out his phone to call for help.

It didn't take long until they heard the sound of sirens fill the air which Reid had heard too as he gripped his hair and lowered his body to the ground and began to groan loudly. It was clear that the high pitch noise was frustrating him.

Hotch's fatherly side kicked in as he suddenly felt the urge to comfort him but he was still at loss to how he could do that. Instead of trying to stand Reid up again, he lowered himself to Reid's level once more only to talk to him with soothing words.

"Shh, it's okay Reid. The medics need to look you over. You've been hurt" Hotch explained in a way he would talk to Jack. Tears started to stream from Reid's eyes and it was almost as if the sound of sirens had brought Reid back from reality, but despite being a little aware of what was going on, Reid still hadn't spoken a word.

It wasn't right. Reid was the talker of the family. In fact; he never stopped talking yet he was crouched in front of Hotch with the only noise coming from him was the whining and groaning as he panicked.

The medics had entered Reid's apartment, causing him to feel even more uncomfortable. His body began to shake as he saw them walk closer to him in the corner of his eye. It was only when the male paramedic had moved too close to Reid that caused him to flip as he suddenly pushed Hotch back and threw a fist at the medic before backing up and returning to his spot in the corner of his shower, closing the glass door.

He sat down again, lifting his hands to his mouth. It was dripping with fresh blood from his bitten knuckles, down his hand and falling from his wrist, into the shower drain. Reid was banging the the back of his head against the wall in stress.

The other medic warned Hotch that if Reid wasn't going to go easily, they would be left with no other choice but to sedate him but Hotch just nodded. He knew that it was to be expected. What surprised him though was the fact that Reid really did put up a fight.

Reid may have not had the same body type as Morgan but for a small moment, before one of the medics jabbed him with a needle, he had used all his strength to push them away; kicking, elbowing, even biting one of their hands when they placed theirs on his arms.

Hotch had been horrified as he watched Reid try so hard, only to lose once the powerful drug began to work; relaxing his muscles. His legs gave away but thankfully the second medic supported his weight and lay him down gently so that he didn't hurt himself. The last thing that Hotch heard before Reid fell unconscious were the tiny whimpers escaping his mouth.

It's worth mentioning that this happens little after season 10, before JJ leaves.

Please review and tell me what you think so far!
