I don't own Criminal Minds

The world's gone crazy and life isn't what it used to be…and I'm stuck in it.

Spencer was not crazy…he did believe that but lately he began to question that. Recently he began to see and hear people that no one else could see. At first he thought they were just figments of his imagination but they never went away and for some reason can interact with objects like normal people can. He then thought they were ghosts but he ruled out that theory, Spencer DID NOT believe in ghosts. They even denied that they were ghosts. Still he grown to like them but he worried his team would think he has gone crazy and lock him away like his mom was.

There were three of them that spent every waking moment around him.

First there was Terry, a sixteen-year-old girl with red hair, soft blue eyes and her face and arms had freckles on them. She always wore wacky outfits like leopard print tights, combat boots, and tee-shirts with bands he never heard of. She loved to cause mischief, like putting his clothes in the wash with a red sock so his underwear would turn pink. She loved watching shows about how stuff worked and was made. But her passion in life was drawing. He always saw her draw in a sketch book whenever she was around.

Next there was Nick, a forty year old man with black hair and a bit of scruff on his chin and cheeks. He was tall and well-built. He usually wore jeans and a plain tee-shirt. He was a quiet and almost somber person but he was a great cook and story teller. Whenever Spencer couldn't sleep, he would come in and tell him a story about that would make him feel much better and then be able to fall asleep. Nick looked to people watch and point out weirdoes, his comments he made about them made Spencer laugh.

Finally there was Greg, a sixty year old man, with gray hair, glasses and had a cane to help him walk. Greg was a very wise and intelligent man. He loved to see what kinds of cases Spencer was working on and listen to Spencer's stories. Greg loved to listen to music and read. Despite his age, he would get up and start to dance when music was playing. Greg was the voice of reason in the household and always spoke with gentleness and caring.

At work, they would sit around him quietly and watch Spencer work; he grew to not mind it.

It was a Tuesday when the team got a call about finding a body in the middle of the desert. The team was in the conference room talking about the case, when Spencer noticed Nick was fidgeting on the ledge he was sitting on. Spencer shot him a look which was a silent way of saying "What's wrong?"

"Reid, will you please pay attention" said Hotch in an irritated tone. Morgan shot him a look that basically said "Get your head in the case."

Since his three friends showed up he has been very distant from his team. They seemed to not really pay much attention to him anymore. Not that Spencer was surprised. Morgan and Garcia got married and now had a baby on the way. Rossi remarried his ex wife and they were as happy as can be. Hotch got married and was spending most of his time with his son, Jack. JJ finally married Will and they had their hands tied with baby Henry. Prentiss also was married and was trying to have a baby but so far no luck.

Spencer was hardly interested in marriage or kids. His team was always talking about kids and family so Spencer was always singled out. Still Spencer knew his team cared about him; they just had more important things to worry about.

On the jet, Spencer was reading a book when Rossi and Morgan approached him and asked him if he wanted to play poker. Spencer agreed with a smile and started to play. Nick, Terry and Greg were asleep on the other side of the jet, they hated flying. They told him that not only it was boring but also took forever to get there and back.

"Hey Reid…I'm sorry we can't really spend much time together" said Morgan.

"It's no problem; you have a baby on the way. I understand that's it's a bit stressful to prepare for a little baby."

"Yeah…Reid, don't you want a family. I never have seen you with anyone. I mean we all got married, but your still a bachelor."

Spencer looked up from his cards. He noticed his whole team looking at him.

"I'm not really interested with romance or children."

Hotch looked surprised, "You don't want to be in love or have a baby?"

"No…I never was into the aspect of family."

Spencer went back to playing. That ended that conversation.

Still the team didn't want to drop it. They really thought it would be a good idea for Spencer to meet someone.

At the crime scene, the team inspected the body that was still kept where it was found.

Spencer noticed the grim look on Nick's face. When the team was busy talking to the police, Spencer asked Nick what wrong.

Nick had tears in his eyes.

"That body was my own."
