Author's notes: Hey guys! Thanks for clicking on my story! This was the first story I ever wrote about Criminal Minds and it's the story that started all of it. I thought this would be an awesome fanfic to Reid and the team. I do not own anything except for Angel because I made her up. I don't own the rights to Criminal Minds or anything like that.

Chapter 1

A young man blinks open his toffee brown eyes, hoping that he already took his final exam for his last class. This man usually didn't mind tests or projects or anything like that but he had a headache so furious that he thought it would split his skull open. He sighed and hoped for graduation to come as he stumbled into the bathroom.

As he tried soothing his aching head, he nearly screams at the Arctic cold water that washed over him. As he ran out of the now freezing cold bathroom, he ran into his tougher, stronger, manlier roommate. This guy was the definition of "jock" in appearance. He had rock-hard abs, muscles, and a firm grip but he was sweet and would never hurt a fly, or a puny roommate.

In fact, had it not been for his football scholarship, he wouldn't be there taunting an embarrassed Spencer Reid about his junk. Derek Morgan meant well to taunt Reid because he was his best friend and he would knock out anyone who made fun of his best friend who was like a baby brother to him.

"Reid, you ok?"

"Did you use the hot water up again?"

"Sorry."

Morgan's evil grin made Reid think that he meant to use up the hot water again, just to mess with him. After Morgan was done laughing at Reid, Reid walked out in the only clean clothes he had that day; a pair of easy blue jeans with rips in them and a black t-shirt of the Ninth Doctor and Rose Tyler. It was his favorite because his friend, Penelope, got it for him when he turned nineteen two months ago.

He didn't look like he belonged in his senior year in college but he was a genius with an IQ of 187. He already had three doctorates and an undergrad in behavior. After this year, he could do anything he wanted and he still had no clue of what he wanted.

"So, kid, what are you doing for summer?"

Derek Morgan was one of the few people who could bring Spencer back from his own little world. Albeit it took a little effort from Morgan but to bring his friend back to earth was his duty and he didn't mind it at all.

"After the exam, graduation but nothing else… why," he answered with uncertainty. Although Spencer trusted Derek with his life, he knew that Derek liked to play mean jokes on him.

The team looked at him with evil spelled across their faces and Spencer's face fell a little. Morgan broke the silence with a few simple words, "I got backstage passes to Blink 182 in the next state and I know how much you like them…"

There was no need to explain; Reid followed Morgan like a puppy to their last class to take the dreaded test.

Two weeks later

Reid fidgeted with his Blink 182 t-shirt waiting for Morgan to show up in his old Ford pick-up.

"Anyone besides Morgan," Spencer thought, "would stand me up and leave me in the dust."

As if to prove his point, Morgan pulled up wearing almost the same as Reid but Morgan's t-shirt had red paint splashed on it. After throwing his go-bag into the bed, he jumped in the truck, feeling happy and carefree for the first time in months.

No more tests, no more teachers, no more essays to write; Spencer knew that Morgan was happy about that. Spencer had no problem test-taking but Morgan was never as lucky as Spencer.

They rode down the highway, jamming to the radio when Morgan's truck needed fuel. They pulled into a sketchy gas station and they saw a small group of people to the side of the mini-mart. The people were dirty-looking and they stared at the truck that Morgan spent so much time on. After getting gas, they headed into the gad station to grab a bite to eat, again the group looked at the two young men walking into the store. It unsettled Spencer a little.

When they smelled the freshly made food, they had only just realized that they drove all day and have had nothing to eat all day! After their yummy meal of hot dogs and sodas, they walked outside to the truck when they saw a fight between a girl and guy. The girl was getting beat real bad but no one seemed to care. Morgan intervened when the punk threw her down on the ground. People froze but not because of Morgan. They froze because they were waiting for the girl on the ground to move.

It was quiet for a moment but then Morgan and Spencer heard something so quiet they thought they imagined it. Then it sounded like a small animal growling. The girl opened her eyes and they were the color of hardened steel, sharp and dangerous. She closed her eyes and faced the threat she thought was there. She jumped and landed on a large mass of flesh. She jumped on to Morgan's back.
