"Spencer! Don't let him take me!"
"Shh, Mya, I won't let anything happen to you, but you gotta stay quiet."
"Reid?" Morgan frowned at his friend.
At the mention of the case Reid had become withdrawn and that was unheard of for him. This seemed to concern his team but especially Morgan.
"Spencey!" Mya screamed as Tristan picked her up and started to carry her away.
"No! Leave her alone! Take me instead," He yelled, standing from his hiding spot.
"Don't worry Spencer; you'll have your turn."
"No, please, leave her alone. Just…take me. I mean I'm more to your tastes right?"
"Very well," Tristan chuckled, dropping Mya.
"Spencey, no!" Mya cried, running to him.
Spencer bent down and embraced the nine-year old, "It's okay sweetie pie. I'll be okay."
"Spencer?" Hotch called softly, touching his shoulder causing the young man to flinch.
Spencer blinked and looked around. The conference room was empty except for them, "Aaron?"
"You were pretty out of it Spencer. Was it the dream again?" He asked, running his hands down his boyfriend's arms.
Spencer swallowed and stood, "No. Don't we have a case?"
Aaron sighed and followed his boyfriend out of the conference room.

Half an hour later the team was seated on the jet and Hotch gave the pilot the okay to take off. They continued to go back and forth about the current case before Hotch called it quits after divvying up the responsibilities.
"Let's try and get some rest, we have a long flight," Hotch said.
The team nodded as they tried to get comfortable. Rossi decided to try and get some writing for his next novel while Prentiss slept and slowly leaned her head on his shoulder which caused him to chuckle. JJ glanced at Spencer before she leaned in her chair with her book of the week. Reid had taken up the couch as he lay down and tried to sleep. Morgan and Hotch sat across from each other playing Blackjack.
Morgan looked up from his cards as he eyed Reid, "Hey Pretty boy, what happened to you earlier during the briefing? You were really outta it."
Reid shook his head, "Sorry, just, thinking too hard I guess."
Hotch frowned. He was really worried about Reid. Not just as his boyfriend but as his boss. It seemed as soon as JJ spoke of this case, Spencer retreated into his head. He thought it was the dream again but maybe it wasn't.
Morgan chuckled, "When aren't you thinking too much? Your brain is like the energizer bunny."
Reid said nothing and closed his eyes attempting to sleep.
"Risking your life to save that of a nine-year old girl Spencer. That's sweet."
"Just hurry up and get this over with. I have things to do," Spencer spoke as he stripped.
Tristan narrowed his eyes, "You better watch that pretty mouth of yours. Could get you in a lot of trouble. Mm, god. Slower."
Spencer bit his lip as he slowed his forced striptease. He hated how Tristan always forced him to strip. Tristan tossed him on the bed on his belly tying his arms and legs so that he was spread out on the bed. He winced as the rope bit into his skin and he knew that he'd have deep cuts there tomorrow. How would he explain it to Joanna?
"Gonna rock your world baby," Tristan chuckled before thrusting inside Spencer causing him to scream.
"Spencer!"
"Spence?"
"Come on pretty boy, wake up."
Spencer opened his eyes and saw JJ, Morgan and Hotch staring over him, "What…?"
"You were screaming. Nightmare?" JJ asked softly sitting beside him.
"I…I'm fine."
"You sure Pretty boy? You look really shaken up."
Reid sat up, "I said I'm fine."
Morgan and JJ frowned but nodded and went back to their seats. Hotch took up JJ's vacant seat next to Reid.
"Babe, talk to me. What's going on?"
Reid turned and looked out the window, "Aaron, I love you, but there are just some things I gotta keep to myself."
