I do not own anything
"Hotch what are you doing here?" "I'm here to find out why Strauss came to my office and threw your request for a transfer on my desk and said fix it," asked Hotch as he walked through the door of Spencer's apartment. He walked towards him until he was standing face to face with him. "Imagine my surprise when I did not even know you were considering it, don't you think that's something I should know" said Hotch as he proceeded to hand Reid the papers.
"Honestly Hotch no I don't because I knew you would do everything in your power to stop me even if it meant telling everyone else." Reid walked over to his couch and sat down and put the papers on the table. "Damn straight I would you're a part of this team and we are family. Does anyone else know what you are doing?" Hotch sat in the seat across from Reid waiting for an answer. "Morgan and Garcia know and before you ask no they didn't try to talk me out of it because they understand why I'm doing this."
Reid looks toward his boss as Hotch starts to say "then explain it to me." "Do you remember when Gideon left and everyone wondered why I stayed? Well I stayed because not counting my mother the people on this team were the only people in the world I trusted, but that's not true anymore." Reid stood up and walked towards the door opening it up so Hotch would get the point and he did. The next morning Hotch walked into his office and found Spencer's gun and badge on his desk. Morgan walked through the door of his office and said "what did you expect," and then went back to work
