AN/I do not own anything to do with Criminal Minds...if I did this would so have happened already.

OK,so it hadn't exactly been the best day in his life. But,it hadn't been the worst either. No,it had just been one of those days that sucked.
It had to be sometime around ten pm when Dr Reid finally made his way out of the BAU ,his only plans for the night were going home to read a few chapters of the latest Whitley Strieber novel before trying to catch some sleep. Things would look just a little bit different in the mornning?
He really hoped things were better. But, right now he felt like an idiot. Him,of all people feeling like a damned idiot. How the hell at that happened?
Oh yeah,a girl was involved! Enough said! He had just spent the last three weeks working up the nerve to ask out that new secretary. And,it didn't go anything like the way he had planned. He couldn't figure it out. It's not like he's a bad guy. he's not a...what do they call Morgan? Oh yeah,a player! Well,that he could never want to be. But,really he's a nice guy,cute(or so JJ and Garcia have told him),so what the hell was wrong with him?
He had only asked about perhaps getting a coffee down at the cafe at wasn't like he was popping the big question. Like he'd ever find himself asking any woman that! Like any woman would give him the chance too! No...he thought as he was walking out of the elevator into the undergroung ,that will never happen.

"would you just leave,please?"
Reid heard someone ask right as he took his third step out of the elevator. His head popped up but there was no one in his direct line of view. He had to be wrong about the owner of that voice. She never pleaded or begged. Not really taking the time to think, Reid's feet started moving towards the direction of her voice.
"don't just stand there looking at me like you think I'm joking",a second voice called out louder than her's.
For a moment Reid stoped confused. He knew that voice ,wait! Wasn't he in another country?What the hell was Kevin Lynch doing here in DC?
Whatever he was doing here Garcia didn't seem pleased to see him. That was the first thing he noticed as he walking around the corner. The second was Kevin's hands wrapped around Garcia's arms.
"just leave",Garcia said again. This time her words sounded almost breathy and tried.
"I'm not going without you,do you here me?"
The feeling of he should not in any way be seeing this exchange between the two techs hit Reid like a rock upside the head. The problem was,it sure wasn't was turning his upper body around to walk away anytime soon. Something caught his attention.

Kevin was now shaking Garcia.

"I said I'm not leaving without you",Kevin hands were tight around her upper arms and he was shaking her back and forth like some child's rag doll. Penelope's head swung back and almost hit the roof of the car parked behind her. Kevin began backing her up against the side door of the vehicle. It was like watching a lion cage it's prey.
"Kevin stop...y-you're hurting me",Garcia screamed back at him looking scared.
"You're coming with me",he stated,"say that you are!"
"NO",the one word sounded loud from Garcia's one word filled up the entire space with force. She meant it.

And,Reid meant his words just as much...if not more.

"let her go Kevin",Reid yelled coming up behind him,"you are not taking her anywhere".
For a second the other man dropped his hands from Garcia's body and turned towards the hated distraction.
"This is none of your concern DR."
"My friends are always my conern",Reid snapped back at him,"I think she asked you to leave".
The next few seconds happened way too fast. Both men stood facing off as Garcia made a move to step away from the situation. No sooner had her right foot taking one step to the side when she felt her whole body pused back with enough force to propel her into the side of the nearest car.
Reid watched as his friend's body bounced hard against the vehicle and then fell forward onto the garage floor. He heard her scream as he saw her hands dig into the hard hands would be scraped and bloody he that really pissed him gun was out in a flash and pointed directly at Kevin Lynch's head before Garcia could look up from where she had fallen.

"LEAVE NOW",was all she heard from her position on the ground.
But,when she pulled her head up she saw two things very clearly.

Kevin was running away and Reid was holing a gun.
