"Morgan, go check on Reid."
"At his apartment? Why?"
"Because he's late."
"Hotch, everyone is late sometimes. Even Reid."
"Ok, but he is two hours late."
"…Ok, I'll go."
Morgan replayed the scene while driving to Reid's apartment building. The more he'd thought about it, the more he felt his growing sense of dread.
…
"Reid? Reid! Pretty boy, it's me, Morgan!" Morgan was practically knocking down Reid's door, becoming more worried by the second.
"Okay, I'm coming in, then!"
Morgan took the spare key hidden under the door mat. Reid had told the whole team where it was, "just in case", he had said. Morgan was grateful for it now.
Opening the door, Morgan looked on to the tidiness that was Reid's apartment. Getting the 160 degree view, he finally spotted Reid's reddish-brown cranium over the back of the couch, immediately noticing that something was wrong.
Morgan slowly went up to the motionless figure, taking out his gun as he went. He was hoping that the situation wasn't as it seemed, though he was worried.
As Morgan walked around the couch carefully, a look of horror was spreading on his face.
His throat was slashed. There was blood on his clothes, on his chin, sprayed on his arms and face. But nothing could prepare Morgan for what came next.
Written in blood, on Reid's grey carpet, were the words 'CHARLES HANKEL IS BACK'
….
Derek Morgan was outside in the parking lot, sitting up against the building with his phone in hand, breathing heavily.
He couldn't remember how he ran out of the small apartment, slamming the door behind him and thumping down the stairs. He couldn't remember that at all. All he could remember is seeing Reid's dead eyes looking down at the floor. Dialing Hotch's cell number, he put the phone to his ear.
"Hotchner"
'' Hotch, come quickly. Bring CSI's."
"Morgan. What happened."
All Morgan could do was wheeze.
"Morgan. What. Happened."
"Reid…Reid's been murdered."
…
