Spencer Reid believed that Hotch had a secret monitoring device implanted in his head and was trying to control him and his behavior. Reid was sitting in his apartment looking at a large kitchen knife which he had in his hand. He thought about bringing it to work and stabbing Hotch with it. Then he though about turning the knife on himself. After being deep in thought, Reid decided he would have to warn people about Hotch and his sinister motives.

He first went to JJ apartment but she wasn't home. He then went to Emily's apartment. She was surprised to see him. It was early Sunday morning.

"Hotch has implanted a monitoring device in my head Emily. He's controlling my thoughts and actions. I have to escape from him."

"Reid, you're acting crazy."

"You don't believe me, do you…?

Before she could respond, police sirens could be heard. Reid quickly got up and ran out of her apartment and down a flight of stairs. He got into his vehicle and drove off very quickly.

"They are coming to get me… They are coming to get me…

A year later

Lila Archer took the stand in the federal courtroom. The trial of former FBI Agent Spencer Reid was in full swing. She hadn't seen him since he ran away from her.

"Tell us, Ms. Archer what happened the day of Monday, August 21st." said federal prosecutor Marvin Hamon.

"I was picking up my daughter from day-care and I was shocked to see him walking hand in hand with my daughter. She was sobbing. I didn't know that he'd terrorized Amanda and terrorized the kids in the daycare. He didn't say anything as my daughter got into the car but once she was in the car, he got into the car pulled a gun on me and told me drive."

"Can you tell us who he is?"

"Yes, Spencer Reid, the man sitting at the table." Said Lila pointing at Reid.

The federal prosecutor looked at Reid and then at the jury.

"Let the record show, that Ms. Archer identified Spencer Reid as the man that kidnapped her and her daughter."

"How old is your daughter Ms. Archer?"

"Hannah is three years old."

"Tell us what happened next."

"I was forced to drive to a shopping center outside of Washington D.C. where he forced me and Hannah into another car and forced me to drive the car. It was about 4:00 p.m. at that point. He brought something to eat so we didn't stop except for gas and bathroom breaks. "

"And what did he bring?"

"Cheeseburgers, fries, milkshakes, not exactly healthy food."

"Did you eat the food?"

"Had no choice. He went ballistic when I told him that I normally don't eat this food

I very rarely served it to Hannah."

"He started yelling and screaming and then took a large hunting type knife that he had underneath the seat and put it on my chin. He then said, "You are under the influence of the man. Hannah started crying."

The prosecutor showed her a knife that looked similar and Lila nodded that this was the hunting knife that Reid threatened her with.

It was about 4:00 a.m. and Lila had been on the road for nearly twelve hours. She was physically as well as mentally exhausted. Hannah had fallen asleep in the backseat.

Reid had forced her to drive down I-95 south until they got to Jacksonville. She was then forced to drive west on I-10. They were outside of Jacksonville and were driving through the industrial part of Jacksonville. Finally Reid allowed Lila to stop the car after she ran off the road and almost lost control of the car. She demanded that he allow her to stop. . They got off at the exit for Raiford Prison ironically. Reid tied Lila to the front seat, got into the car and then drove. Lila was so tired that she fell asleep.

About 4 hours later she woke up. She was sitting in front of a house that looked like it was from another time period. The house was built around 1890 and had a colonial look to it. Lila had no idea where they were. The house had no TV and no computer which was very odd. Otherwise it was a normal looking house.

She went inside with her daughter and they both slept. She was too tired to try to escape at this point. She noticed on the table something that said Defuniak Springs.

Later that evening Lila woke up and saw Reid playing with her daughter. They were playing ring around the rosy He seemed to be normal but he still had a knife in one pocket and a gun in another.

Lila tried to figure out where they were. She guessed they were still in Florida. Since Reid wouldn't allow her to listen to the radio in the car and since there was no TV, she didn't know what was going on. She'd figured that someone was out looking for her.

She still was so exhausted that she went back to bed. At 1:00 a. was awaken by Reid who had gotten into bed with her and was kissing her cheeks.

"I'm doing this to protect you from the man. Hotch is the man. He's going to kill you if I don't have sex with you. He told me so."

"Please, Reid, no. I really don't want to do this."

Reid had a look on his face of someone who was half crazed. He put his hand on her chin and squeezed it. Then he took out the hunting knife and waved it around near Lila's face. He then poked the blade of the knife into her forehead.

"You have to do this Lila. Otherwise the man will kill both of us." Said Reid.

At this point, Lila gave in, fearing for her life. It was pointless to tell Reid she wasn't using birth control pills. He wasn't rational.

All this Lila had to describe to the court. Thankfully she didn't have to graphically describe or describe in detail what Reid did to her.

"He was totally out of his mind at this point. Totally."

"What happened next?"

"He went back to sleep (I couldn't sleep) and then at 6:00 a.m. he drove me and Hannah to a small airport and said we were going to Dog Island."
