An: Thanks for all the reviews. And sorry about the misspelling Titi25 I will correct that. Anyway this chapter is about what happened after Reid walked out of his apartment.
Reid watched the stop light flash green, he thought about his argument with JJ. He wondered if he could ever see her without feeling the slightest bit of anger. He still couldn't believe that she had the nerve to come to his apartment. He was so angry he wanted to... He was abruptly taken out of his thoughts by the honking of a car horn, he looked behind him. The driver was giving him a dirty look, he waved his hand out of the window as an apology and continued to drive along. He wondered where he was heading he definitely was not going back to his apartment anytime soon. JJ would probably be stubborn enough to stay until he returned, he definitely did not want to see her, so he might as well stay at motel for the night.
Reid drove until he had found a decent enough motel to stay in for a night, he parked his car and walked in. He walked up to the front desk, paid for a night and received his room key for room 223, he took the elevator up to the second floor. Reid walked down the hallway to his room, unlocked his door and walked in. He closed the door behind him and plopped himself down onto the bed. He needed some sleep, he had barely gotten any since Maeve's death, and the argument had taken the rest of his strength out of him. He put down his head and drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
Reid was awoken by the sound of a muffled scream, that by the sound of it, was coming from the room next door. He dismissed is as a frightened woman that had seen a spider, and was about to drift off again when he heard a lamp being knocked over and a thump as if a body had been thrown against the floor. Right away his instincts stepped into action as he opened his door and ran outside, he went to the door that was the source of the noises. He needed to get inside but the woman inside probably didn't have much time, so he couldn't ask for the key at the front desk. The only other option was to knock down the door, he didn't have much experience because Morgan was usually the one that did all the physical aspects of the job. He heard another scream and knew that he had to knock down. It was mostly about physics any, kicking in the door at its weakest point. He estimated the point was just above the center of the door and then went for it with his strongest kick. The door came crashing down out of its hinges, he could make out the silhouette of a man holding a woman down against her will on the bed.
Reid quickly jumped into action and tackled the man off of the bed and then started to punch the man repeatedly in the face until the man had stopped struggling and then he checked his pulse. The man was out cold, he then went over to the woman who was now curled up in the fetal position on the bed. He picked her off the bed and put her in his room. He took his cell phone out of his pocket and called the police, he explained the situation. And then held the woman in his arms as she continued to cry, until the police had arrived. He tried to get up and talk to the police, but the woman wouldn't let him leave. One of the policemen understanding the predicament that he was in went over to talk to him, Reid explained his occupation with the F.B.I's Behavioral Analysis Unit and gave the policeman his boss' contact number.
From his room he watched as the man was roughly escorted down the hallway, only then did he clearly see his face and realize that the man was the driver that had honked at him when he was stopped at the green light. The man looked over to him and gave a eerily calm smile, that was cut short by a pull from the police officer to move him along. Reid shuddered and suddenly remembered the woman in his arms, she was fast asleep. He unfortunately had to wake her, so that she would be able to answer the police department's questions. He gently shook her and she slowly opened her eyes and looked up at his face. "How are you feeling now?" He asked gently. "Better." She responded in weak voice. "Thank you."She said quietly. "You don't have to thank me." She shook her head "Yes I do you stopped him from raping me."She ended the sentence quietly. Reid changed the subject "What's your name?" "Sophia" She continued "Sophia Spire." "But, you can call me Sophie." She quickly added. "Hi Sophie, I'm Dr. Spencer Reid, but you can call me Spencer." He said while smiling. "We have to get you to the police station, to answer some questions, I'll drive you if you'd prefer that over a police car." "That'd be great thank you." She said. "No problem."
The drive to the station was mostly in silence, other than a couple of questions asked by Spencer about her well-being. But, it wasn't awkward silence as expected it was more comforted silence than anything. They arrived at the building and Spencer walked her inside, "Thank you for everything Spencer." "No problem" He replied. "Yes, it is a problem and I'd like to show my thanks by inviting you out to dinner." "Says the person that had one of the most traumatic days of her life, don't you think you should think about this." "I did think about it Spencer and I still want to take you out, my treat, and as for that event, I just think about something my mom used to say "Don't dwell in the past and just focus on the future." "Your mom sounds like a wise woman." "Yes she was" Sophie said in a sad voice. "I'm sorry for your loss" Reid said with a sad expression expressed across his face. "Its fine. Now give me your arm." She said regaining her upbeat personality. She took a sharpie off of a officer's desk. "And why is that?" "I'm giving you my number" She said while laughing. She wrote down the digits. "Call when you have time, ya big shot F.B.I agent." She said jokingly. "Sure" He said, a smile creeping across his lips. "Okay, so remember to call me, or I'll hunt you down and drag you to dinner" She said with a serious look on her face. Reid looked worried , making her burst out laughing, he couldn't help joining in, he'd had been so worried for a second there. She looked up at him smiling and then did something unexpected , she kissed him on the lips. She then took a step back and started to walk away. "Don't forget to call" She yelled back.
Reid was so dumbfounded it had been a very surprising night, first the argument with JJ, then the attempted assault of Sophie, and now this! He stood there for another few minutes reminiscing about what had just happened. Remembering the feeling of achievement that he had felt after he had saved Sophie. What he did know was the tomorrow morning he was going to go back to work, he wanted to feel that achievement again. And then he realized this night had helped him take his mind of Maeve's death, and finally gave him something to look forward to the next day again. What he didn't realize was that Hotch had heard from the police about Reid's actions and the outcomes and had called each member of the team to explain the situation. And that no more than a few feet away had been JJ up until the last moment with the kiss, at which point she had run back to her car.
An: Sorry about the length of the chapter again, I will increase the length of the chapter every new chapter. And I know it was kind of fast paced but, if you want me to slow down just tell me. I will post the next chapter after 10 reviews, please give me your opinions of what should have happened and what you want to happen next. Thanks everyone.
