*RECAP*
"Maybe we should talk to him." JJ said
"Well let's go up then I told him I was going to the archives."
So the team sans Reid got into the elevator and made it up to there floor and then walked into the bullpen only to see Reid's desk unoccupied.
Morgan walked over to Reid's desk. "Guys it looks like he was crying there are little droplets on his chair."
"Oh. My. God! The men's washroom he's in there." Rossi said
"How do you know Rossi?" Morgan asked
"A while back I walked in on him crying in there, he told me it's safe and quiet."
The team was now at a run towards the men's bathroom, Morgan noticed it was locked and it took him Hotch and JJ to get it open. What greeted then next was gruesome and almost made JJ throw up.

A huge pool of blood was covering most of the men's bathroom and the glistening letter opener was sitting just at the edge of the blood pool. Morgan did what nobody on the team wanted to do and went over to the stall next to the one Reid was in and hopped over the barrier into Reid's stall.
"Is he alive Morgan?" Hotch asked
Morgan had to try and contain himself enough to get close enough to see if the kid had a pulse or any breath sounds.
Gingerly Morgan lowered his hand to Reid's neck. "Oh no. Guys he's not breathing and he doesn't have a pulse."
"Oh my god. Please no." JJ pleaded in whispers
"Has somebody called 911?" Morgan asked
"Already done." Rossi said

Blake was long gone by this point; she couldn't stand looking at the pool of blood on the floor any longer. What the team didn't know was that they shouldn't be calling an ambulance they should be calling the crime scene investigators because there was too much blood on the floor for much to be left in him.
There was no bringing him back this time.
Blake didn't want to go anywhere so she decided to go down to the archives and do some reading to try and calm her down. She brought out her headphones and pressed play on her phone, Gary Jules Mad World was the first song to play. When she got down to the archives she immediately went to the first case Reid worked on with the B.A.U. she grabbed it and began reading his interpretation of how the events unfolded. It was almost therapeutic for Blake to read what it was like when Reid had first started at the B.A.U. and how he progressed and became the man he is today.

By now the ambulance had arrived and they declared Reid D.O.A., they put him into a body bag and wheeled him out of the office and into the elevator.
"Why did he do this all of a sudden?" Garcia asked between sobs
"Come on baby girl lets go somewhere else C.S.I. is going to be here soon and they'll need the room." Morgan said
"Hey, has anybody seen Blake?" Rossi asked
"She was here a second ago." Hotch said
"She was really close with him; maybe she just needed to get away." Hotch said
"I'll give her a call and see where she is, she shouldn't be alone at a time like this." Rossi said
Rossi left the bathroom and went into his office to give Blake a call, it rang three times and then a shaky voice came on the other side.
"R-r-rossi?" Blake stuttered
"Hey kiddo. Where are you?" Rossi asked
"The archives, I was reading some of... umm... old cases."
"Well I am on my way down now so don't you go anywhere, alright?"
"Okay."
Rossi started to run instead of walking and didn't even bother waiting for the elevator, he ran down all of the stairs down to the dark damp space that was the archives.
"Hey."Rossi said
"Hi Rossi."
Rossi went over to Blake and put the case file she was reading back down on the table and then gave her a big reassuring hug to try and make he feel the least bit better about today's events.
"I could have prevented this." Blake said
"Alex nobody could have stopped today's events short of him being admitted to an institution."
"But I did all of this research and I talked to numerous doctors on how to try and fix this but none of it helped in the end."
"What matters is that you tried, I am sure that Reid knew that to some capacity."
"I really hope he did. Would you be able to take me to his place?"
"Yes of course. You want the team to come or no?"
"Just us please."
"Okay kiddo lets go."
Blake and Rossi got into one of the S.U.V's and were soon on their way to Reid's apartment, when they arrived Blake had to take a few minutes to compose herself before grabbing the key from her pocket.
"You Ready?" Rossi asked
"No time like the present I guess."
"Okay then let's go."
Blake got to the front door and gingerly opened it enough to get her and Rossi through and then she went up the right staircase and then turned right at the top of the stairs. She was no facing Reid's front door and she again had to take a few moments to compose herself before inserting the key and turning the knob to let them in.
The first thing that Blake and Rossi noticed was how immaculate the place was, there wasn't a single speck of dust anywhere and ever piece of furniture was either nailed or screwed to the floor.
"Why would the kid do this?" Rossi asked
"My best guess is that so nothing moved and it stayed perfectly aligned." Blake answered
"Ahh I see."
Blake went over to the window with his bookshelves and started to run her finger down all of the worn spines of his first editions.
"Reid had such good taste in books." Blake said
"Coming from a linguist that must mean something." Rossi lightly joked
"We often would trade books but of course he was always done with in the day most times."
"I remember the first time I stepped into the office after my retirement and his eyes lit up and he walked over to me and told me how much he loved my work."
"That seems like him."
"The best part was when he told me he had everything I had ever published on tape and he wanted to listen to it on the way to the scene."
"Wow. I would have loved to have known him back then."
"Trust me when I say this and I mean it with the upmost of respect but the Reid you knew was the best Reid there's been in a long time... besides the events that unfolded today obviously."
"I was just reading the report on the Hankle case they had in Georgia, the poor kid went through so much."
"I would give you some insight but that's before my time."
"Oh right Gideon was here still. That's a man I would have liked to meet."
"He was definitely different that's for sure."
"Rossi look at this."
Blake was now holding up a picture of the team from his birthday last year, Reid had a huge smile plastered on his face, standing beside Blake and JJ and Morgan was tickling Garcia. Then Hotch and Rossi were stoic as usual.
"That was a good day." Rossi said
"What I would do another one of those days."
Just before Rossi was about to agree the room suddenly got very cold and the lights started flickering. Blake and Rossi turned around just in time to see the spirit of Reid walking around, blood still dripping from his wrists. Blake out of instinct grabbed Rossi and started shaking almost uncontrollably.
"Reid?" Rossi asked
The spirit turned around and then disappeared; it reappeared right in front of Blake and Rossi.
"Rossi what the hell is going on?" Blake asked
"I don't know but I do know who I need to call."
Rossi grabbed his phone out of his pocket and went into his contacts; he scrolled down to the S section and dialed Sam Winchester.
"Who is Sam Winchester?" Blake asked
"Hold on a second." Rossi said to Blake

The phone rang twice before it was picked up.
"Agent Rossi?" Sam asked
"Hi Sam, I think we might have something you might be interested in." Rossi said
"What's going on?" Sam asked
"One of our own took his life today, and I am in his apartment with Agent Alex Blake and he seems to be here and he won't let us leave."
"Okay what's the address?"
"602 Harrington Road Virginia."
"Lucky for you we are close; we just finished a case today so we will see you in about 10 minutes."
"Thanks again Sam and say hello do Dean for me please."
"Will do agent Rossi."
With that Rossi hung up the phone.
