He really wanted to wake up now.

Spencer was sitting in the interrogation room, he seemed extremely calm for someone who claimed to have killed seventy three people.

Hotch had decided to do the interview, which was good because Derek knew he wouldn't be able to do it. Even if he was dreaming.

JJ went to update the reporters waiting outside, and Rossi elected to stay with the head detective to figure out who they were dealing with.

That left Derek to watch the interview, and Prentiss to watch Derek.

"I'm agent Hotchner, I work for the FBI. Is it alright if I ask you a few questions?"

Dream Reid's hair was longer than real Reid's hair.

"If you really feel that it is necessary."

"You say that you have killed seventy three people, is that true?" Hotch was sitting across from Reid, who was completely relaxed in his chair, despite the fact that he was handcuffed.

"Yes."

"Why are you turning yourself in?"

Dream Reid had a very creepy smile.

"I was getting bored. Figured a change of scenery might help."

"I will ask you again, because you don't seem to think this is serious. If you killed all of the people you say you did and got away with it, why walk into a police station and admit to it."

The smile was gone.

"This is very serious. I came here because I felt like it was the right thing to do."

His eyes looked like real Reid's eyes. Earnest and too big for his face.

"I mean, what kind of world will Jack grow up in if the bad guys don't do the right thing once in a while."

The creeper smile was back.

"I just want to keep the children protected."

Hotch looked almost frozen in place, Emily looked ill.

Reid seemed amused

"Now Aaron, you really need to keep a closer eye on what is available over the internet. There are all kinds of sick freaks in the world who can find out anything they want about you and the rest of your 'team'."

For someone very good at controlling his emotions Hotch was doing a poor job of hiding his anger.

"if you even think about going near my son I will tear you apart."

Dream Reid started laughing

"I'm not going to hurt Jack, or Jessica. I'm going to kill you, and everyone else on your team. There is no need to threaten me."

"Garcia, what do we know about this guy?" Derek hadn't heard Hotch so angry in quite a while.

"His name Spencer Reid. Born in Las Vegas, his dad was arrested when he was ten for killing a little boy named Riley Jenkins. His mom went off the grid two years before he was born. He graduated high school when he was twelve, and hasn't left the city. I sent his current address to your cells."

Emily was looking at Derek for some reason, he decided to ignore her "How do you know the guy in interrogation is Spencer Reid?"

"Medical records sweet cheeks, they extend past high school and have some pretty recent photos."

Hotch still looked angry "Thanks Garcia."

"You are welcome my fine furry friends, call me if you need me."

JJ came over, she looked worried.

"I just got off the phone with Strauss. She wants an update, what do you want me to tell her?"

"Nothing. Dave and I are going to his apartment to see what we can find. JJ I want you to make sure that this stays quiet. Prentiss, Morgan, the two of you are going to find out everything there is to know about Spencer Reid."

Emily was still looking at him.

They were going through high school transcripts in a small room that smelled like feet, and dream Emily wouldn't stop looking at him.

The silence somehow seemed very loud.

"Will you stop looking at me, its really distracting."

Now she was glaring at him.

"Sorry, I'm trying to figure out how you knew who the bad guy was before anyone else even knew there was one."

"What?"

For some reason Emily was whispering.

"This morning you kept talking about Spencer Reid. You said he was on the team, and you thought I was lying when I told you I didn't know him. Now the unsub is named Spencer Reid and there is no way that interrogation was the first time you have ever seen him. I want to know what is going on, and I want to know now."

Derek missed the silence.
