Spencer Reid woke on a dull, cloudy Tuesday morning to the sound of his phone going off, signaling he'd just received a text. It was almost exactly as it had been when he woke up and went on a case that lead him to getting Maeve back. The only difference was she was in the bed with him, still asleep. He knew it was probably work, they would be calling him in for a new case, but when he picked it up the text was from 984-9269, a number he did't recognize. He studied the number and then gasped and bolted into a sitting position, wake Maeve as he did so.

"What is it?" Maeve asked.

"Nothing, sorry for waking you," Reid replied. now opening to text. Maeve assessed his tone and expression, then sat up. Reid didn't seem to notice, he was to busy read the text message. It read:

Hey, Reid, how are you? How's Maeve? I hope you've

enjoyed you're year together, as it's about to end.

Best of wish's.

~Zugzwang.

Reid looked at her and calmly said, "Do you remember what happened two years ago in two day's?"

"Diane's suicide and my fake death, why?" Maeve asked.

"Do you remember what happened last year, same date and time?" Reid asked.

"I returned from the dead, came back to you, why? What's going on?" Maeve asked, slightly panicked.

"Do you remember what happened the morning following?" Reid asked, looked down at his phone.

Maeve gasped, "They're back?" Panicked was definitely in her voice now, cause it to almost tremble with it's weight.

Reid nodded, "We have to go to the office. Why don't you get a shower and I'll call Hotch?"

Maeve nodded and grabbed a pair of jeans and a t-shirt on her way to the bathroom.

Reid hit Hotch's speed dial and waited for him to pick up. When he did Hotch asked, "Reid?"

"Yeah, I think we've got a problem," Reid replied.

"Where are you?" Hotch asked.

"My apartment. Zugzwang's back," Reid told him.

"We've been waiting for you, what have you been doing?" Hotch demanded.

"Did you text or call me?" Reid asked.

"Yeah, we call your home line, too. We didn't get through, why?" Hotch asked.

"I didn't get any of them, only the text from them," Reid replied, "We're coming in after I get a shower. We'll be there soon."

"We?" Hotch asked.

"They're threaten Maeve, too," Reid explain.

"We'll see you soon," Hotch said and they hung up.

Reid put his phone on the bed side table and laid a suit out on the bed, for when he got his turn in the shower. Then he went into the kitchen and filled the coffee pot with water from a couple water bottles in the cupboard and poured some coffee in it. Then Reid pulled a box of muffins out of the cupboard, put one on a plat and set that on the counter. Then he grabbed himself one and began to eat.

He'd barely finished when Maeve got out of the shower. Reid poured some coffee into his tumbler, then got a quick shower.

They got to the office about ten minutes after he'd finished and, after grabbing his satchel, Reid and Maeve walked calmly towards the building. They held up momentarily by the guard, asking who Maeve was.

"She's my girlfriend," Reid explained, "She not going to cause any problem's."

"She's your girlfriend?" The guard asked. When Reid nodded the guard looked over at Maeve and fell about himself, laughing.

Reid looked over at Maeve, "You know this is how Morgan would've reacted had the whole stalker thing not happened." Maeve giggled as the guard sobered up.

"Right," the guard said, "You'd better get a visitor's pass."

As they walked toward the front desk for said pass, Maeve laced her finger's through Reid's and asked, "Why did he find the fact I am your girlfriend funny?"

Reid waited until they were alone in the elevator, after they'd got the pass, to explain, "I was probably the one on the team that would be picked out as single. The 32 year old genius vs Morgan who could have almost any girl he wanted, Hotch who was married and is currently in a relationship, Rossi who's had three wives, Garcia who was proposed to, but she declined, JJ who's married, and Blake who's married."

"You're still doing one better than Morgan," Maeve offered and smiled. Reid smiled back, then they leaned in and shared a quick kiss before pulling away just before the elevator doors swung open. They walked hand in hand to the conference room.

Reid pulled his from her's and opened the door. There had been an extra seat put at the table and a white board had been set up next to the screen. Reid and Maeve sat down. The team and Maeve sat in silence for a minute. Two. Three.

Finally Hotch broke the silence. He clicked a button on the remote he was holding, which cause the word Zugzwang to come up the screen. Then he ask, "Where do we start?"

First of all,

Thank's if you've waited for this.

I had trouble but I finished.

I's not nearly as long as I'd hoped

but here it is.

More soon!
