"Okay (Name), I want you to close your eyes." Reid says. You do so. "Now, it's late, your walking home from school, you can feel the cool night air on your skin." He says. In your mind you see a semi clear image of you walking. "Do you see or hear anything?" His voice seems to come out of nowhere.
"I don't see anything…I hear something…I remember turning." You say. "And?" You hear him ask. "I see nothing…" You say again. "I remember turning back and-" You stop mid sentence, your breath hitches and you begin to whimper. "No…no!" You scream.
"It's okay its okay." You hear Reid's voice again, and feel something on your shoulder, most likely his hand. "Calm down. He can't get you." He says. "Take a deep breath, in then out." He repeats this until you begin doing as he says. After a few breathes your calm again. "Okay, when your ready tell me what happened next."
"I turned around and I felt something pinch my neck, and cover my mouth. I bit his hand, it tasted like salt and blood." You whimper at the memory of the glove covering your scream. "Do you remember anything specific?" He asks. "Yes! He was…wearing a skull mask, and had a black hood…I felt something, a small sting in my neck then he let me go…" You said.
You opened your eyes and saw that Reid was sitting in front of you, his hand on your shoulder. "It gets foggy after that…I feel asleep." After those words left your lips you begin to panic. "Oh God did he-he touch me!" You yell, slapping Reid's hand off of you and jumping off the bed. You run to the other side of the room and press your back against the wall. You slide to the floor and cover yourself with your arms and begin to sob.
"(Name) calm down, he didn't touch you, I swear." Reid says while he slowly walks towards you. When he reaches you he kneels down to your level.
The door swings open and your father runs in. "That's enough!" He yells. You look up and see your dad push Reid away and hold you close. "This interview is over." Derek walks into room and helped Reid up. "Sorry, I couldn't stop him." He says. You look up and see Reid and his friend walk towards the door. Your lightly push your father away, just enough so that your face is visible.
"Wait." You say, gaining Reid and Morgan's attention. "I'm sorry." You say, choking back a sob. "It's okay. I'll come back later." He says with a smile before walking out of the room. Your father helps you back in your bed.
In the hallway both Derek and Spencer where walking and talking. "Where did everyone go?" Spencer asked. "They found another body." Derek said.
"What was that about?" Derek asked. "I'm not sure." Reid said.
They reached the exit of the hospital. "And the rest of the interview?" Derek asked. They both put on sunglasses and walked to the SUV. "I'll continue the interview later when she's more calm." He said while getting in the vehicle. Derek started the SUV and drove out of the hospital parking lot.
Just across the street was a man, watching as the agents left the hospital. He crossed the street and entered the Hospital.
~Crime scene: Victims Backyard: Garden.
Derek and Spencer arrived at the crime scene, both waving their badges and walking passes the police tape. When they reached the rest of the team they saw the body of a girl.
Her hands and feet where tied with barbwire. Her body covered in bruises and eyes gouged out. On her forehead was the word "Liar". "What do we got?" Derek asked.
"Victims name is Lisa Moray, age 27." Alex said. "She was found here in the rose bush."
"The Unsub dragged the body to the roses in the middle of the day? Either he was brave or no one really noticed." Rossi said while looking around at the other houses. "Do we have enough to make a profile?"
"Not yet, Reid what did (Name) say?" Hotchner asked.
"She described the attack then falling asleep. I believe she would have told me more but something made her panic, I'm having Garcia check for any abuse history that might link the victims." He says while giving Hotchner the notes he made before your freak out.
"Alright. Well go back to the station and try to put the profile together. Reid go back to hospital and try to finish the interview." Hotchner said. Reid only mouthed the word 'okay' before walking back to the SUV.
~Hospital.
"He didn't make you feel uncomfortable right (Name)." Your father asks you as he tried handing you a pill. "No dad." You said while looking out the window. You turn your head and see the pill in your father's hand. "Dad please, I don't need to take those anymore." You said.
"Alright, alright, I'll just leave it here for now." Your father said. Placing the pill back in the container. "I'm going to get a coffee okay? Do you want anything?" He asks as he walked to the door. You smiled. "No, the man from earlier, I think his name was…I forgot his name. He seems nice though, he said he was gonna come back and get me something to eat." You say smiling to yourself. Your father rolled his eyes and exited the room.
You see him wave to you through the observation window and you wave back. You then see a man standing behind your father. The moment your father turned he was pushed into the window and stabbed in the abdomen. The man then turned him and pressed him against the glass, allowing you to see him bleed.
"Daddy!" You instantly run to the door and press against it. You feel him trying to open the door. "Help! Help me!" You yell. "Go away!" You screamed.
Your eyes opened as you bolted forward and screamed. You looked around and saw you where in your room. You where sweating and breathing hard. You must have fallen asleep. You turn your head and see you have been asleep since the agents left. You hear a click and immediately turn to the door, fearing your attacker was there.
Spencer entered the room, holding a thick hard cover book to his chest and a paper bag. "(Name), are you okay?" He asked, taking a seat at the end of the bed. "I-I'm fine." You say. "Is there something you need?"
"Uh, yes, yes there is." He said. "I need to finish the interview." Your throat tightened. "I-I'm sorry I freaked out earlier." You blurted out causing him to look up. "It's just you hear all these stories about women and what happens to them and…I'm sorry." You say again.
"It's alright, I understand." He said. He pulled out note pad and pen. "(Name), where going to skip to when you woke up okay?" Reid said. You nodded and closed your eyes and laid back.
"I…woke up. I tried to move my hands but the there tied. My arms felt achy. I looked and saw my arms where above my head." You said. "Did you look around the room? If you did describe it to me." Reid said.
"I'm at…a warehouse…" You say. "I've…been there before." You said in a daze. "I look forward and saw a man coming out of the shadows." You say. You feel like your going to pass out. "Does he say anything to you?" He asks.
"Yes, I think, he slapped me, and told me I can't smile anymore." You say, you went from daze and near sleep to afraid and alert in an instant. "Can we please stop now?" You asked. Reid closed his note pad and replied "For now." You open your eyes and see him rummage through the paper bag and pull a triangle shaped box. "It's pizza." He stated and handed you the box.
You take the box shyly and open it. The smell of cheese and crust met your nostrils and you smiled before taking a greedy bite, a string of cheese linking you and pizza. "It's good." You say with a stuffed mouth. "What are you reading?" You asked.
He licked his lips and took a soda out handing it to you. "It's a book of urban legends." He said. "Is the hook one in there?" You asked. "Yes it is, along with scratches." He said. "Scratches?" You asked.
"Yes, it's a spin off of the Hook legend. You see two teenagers, a girl and a boy where making out and-" He was cut off.
"Wait I know that one." You say, smiling.
After awhile it started getting dark. Spencer got up and walked towards the door. "I have to go, but um, the warehouse. How many times have you been there?" Reid asked. You thought for a second. "I go there every few days, there's these cats there I like to feed." You say. "Are they still there?" You asked, concerned for your furry friends. "I'm not sure, I'll have someone check." He said. You lay back on the bed.
"How much longer do I have to be here?" You asked. You where getting restless and your last nightmare only made you want to get out of there more. "Just another day or so." He said. "Well goodnight." He was about to leave again. "Wait!...I forgot your name." You said, embarrassed that you had spent most the day with him and not once getting his name again.
"Spencer Reid, goodnight (name)." He said before leaving the room. You saw him walk down the hall through the observation window. You closed your eyes and whispered "Goodnight Spencer."
