…At Reid's apartment…

Spencer did rest, for five minutes but still, she rested. She glanced at the clock, 8:05, she groaned what was she going to do all day? She wasn't hungry and the team was working on a case, that didn't pose any immediate danger to them so she didn't need to interfere. Reid made her promise not to get into any trouble, how boring. She also promised not to leave the apartment and she thought that both her and Reid knew that wasn't going to happen.

She had made her decision she quickly changed clothes, got dressed and made herself presentable. She winced at the pain in her stomach but learned to ignore it as she made her way out of the apartment. It was a lovely day in Quantico, Virginia and Spencer wouldn't rather be anywhere else. She took a moment to evaluate what was going on at the BAU.

Everyone was asking Reid if I was okay, figures, the team was always was too emotional, especially Garcia. Funny, Hotch was worried, he didn't seem to be the type to worry about someone he wasn't particularly fond of and that category included Spencer, well that's what she liked to believe. The team knew that it wasn't her style to get close to anyone so as a result she didn't like anyone getting close to her, too many broken hearts that way.

Spencer slipped out of the apartment and slyly made her way down the hall and out of the building. She decided to go for a walk to see what she could find, what she did find was a lovely little coffee shop called Joe Walker's café. She ordered coffee with a lot of sugar 'too much time in Dr. Reid's mind' she thought.

While sipping her coffee she bought a magazine and began to read about lives that were of little interest to her. It was then she noticed the gaze of a boy, about 16, with bleach blonde hair and kind of reminded Spencer of Draco Malfoy, but then again she could just be searching for something to relate to her beloved books. Though he seemed to have an eerie likeness to the fictional character the posture the expression the way he held himself.

She concluded that he was confident by the way he was looking at her, superior and cocky. He stood up from his chair across the shop and made his way over to me.

"Is this seat taken?" he asked, his tone flirty. I gave him a once-over, he was certainly good looking and who doesn't love an arrogant guy that you can prove wrong time and time again?

"No, but I have a feeling it's about to be" she flirted back while still keeping her arrogance and superiority known, he smirked and sat down.

"What are you reading?" he asked attempting to make small talk, she smiled at the simplicity of it all. Something simple was exactly what she needed after everything she had been thru.

"Nothing of importance" I replied closing the magazine focusing completely on the conversation. "What's your name?"

"Call me Thomas" he said "what's yours?"

Spencer thought for a moment, should she give him her name? Well it wouldn't hurt to just tell him her 'last name'

"Call me Spencer" she said smiling.

Spencer and Thomas talked for hours, they were extraordinarily similar, both arrogant, cocky slightly conceited. The spent a lot of the time arguing but both loved every minute. Spencer also too this time to examine Thomas more closely. He was handsome, she supposed, but there was something average about him that made it so you wouldn't really notice him in a crowd. His eyes were grey but sparked with excitement as he and Spencer spoke.

Suddenly a cold feeling washed over Spencer, she saw Reid, not close to her but coming. Oh, no wonder she wanted to come here! This was Reid's favorite coffee place, he was probably allowed to go get lunch and most likely come and check on her at his apartment.

"Oh no" I said, my eyes widening. Thomas stopped in the middle of his sentence.

"What?" he asked, he was looking awfully nervous as well and looked behind him to see if there was someone there.

"Oh, damn I'm dead" she said, beginning to clean up the table. Then she saw someone else, someone else with Reid, who was it? Oh damn, it was Morgan.

"Oh good god, now I'm really dead" I said to myself, Reid would be mad, but if Morgan would be with him. Together they're the most protective pair on the planet.

"Spencer tell me what's going on" said Thomas rolling his eyes at Spencer freaking out looking for somewhere to hide, they were almost there and if she went outside they would see her for sure.

"No! Spencer was not here, you never saw or talked to a Spencer" she told him desperately running around the shop, where was the bathroom?

"Wait, how will I see you again?" he asked.

"I'll be here tomorrow at 9:00 A.M but you will never see me again if I don't get out of here" said Spencer

"Okay wait, stop for one second" said Thomas standing in front of her and grabbed her shoulders with his hands.

Suddenly Spencer wasn't in a café anymore rapid pictures entered her mind. A knife, Scared boy, blood, orders, more blood, other boys. Then Thomas let go of her and the pictures stopped. Spencer took a few steps backwards and looked Thomas with a look of confusion and fear.

"SPENCER!" the all too familiar voice sounded. Spencer closed her eyes and breathed thru her teeth.

"I'm screwed" she muttered to herself.

"I told you to stay in the apartment" Reid didn't sound mad just shocked and panicky.

"I, uh, told you to think of who you were talking to" said Spencer nervously.

"And who's this?" asked Reid, pointing at Thomas.

"That would be a boy" Spencer said rolling my eyes.

"Hey, stop being a smartass" Morgan joined in on the scolding.

"And who said you were allowed to go out with boys?" asked Reid annoyed, that protective brother instinct coming out.

"Excuse me, please tell me when you became the boss of me, I can go out with boys if I want" Spencer put her hands on her hips and had a condescending looking on her face.

"Well you know how teenage high school boys are" said Reid.

"No Reid, you don't you were 12 when you graduated, you have no idea how they are" Spencer told him,

"But I do, beat it kid" Morgan told Thomas, and he walked out of the café, extremely confused.

"And another thing, you are injured and she not leave the house at all-" exclaimed Reid.

"Hey Reid, did J.J give you the picture of the boy that went missing today?" asked Morgan, cutting him off.

"No" answered Reid

"The kid I just kicked out of here is this him?" asked Morgan showing Reid a picture of the missing kid. It was undeniably Thomas
