Reid tugged on his messenger bag strap while he looked out the window of the airplane. The homes down below looked like little pieces of lego on their green square lego mat. He remembered playing with legos and each lego person with a smile on their face. Never a dull moment in lego land. His attention was brought back to the man sitting next to him in the airplane. He started to laugh as the in plane movie was Liar Liar and Jim Carey had his hand in the shape of a claw. Reid returned his attention back to the lego world below as his mind tried to understand everything that was happening. With all the facts he knew, the problems he could solve and knowing the altitude of their current location he could not understand the fact that he was a father.
"Reid!" Yelled Morgan. The elevator door had just closed right in his face. Morgan knew the kid wasn't thinking straight and knew he had to stop any drastic decisions he would make. He rushed back to his desk and grabbed his jacket that was on the back of his chair. Morgan noticed Reid's messenger bag on the floor of his desk and quickly grabbed that as well. He knew the kid was going down and decided to take the stairs. He jumped off the last step and opened the stair access door in time to see Reid show his credentials at the front desk and pulled his gun out of the holster. He fumbled a bit as his nervous hand ran through his hair and turned to leave.
"Reid!" Morgan yelled again and once again Reid ignored him. Morgan rushed to the front desk and showed his badge. "Did he say where hes going?"
"Vegas." The front desk replied and Morgan knew why Reid had left his gun. He was heading towards the airport.
Morgan didn't hesitate to do the same and rushed out to stop Reid. He saw him trying to open the door to his Volvo but the door was locked. Reid slammed his hands on the roof of the car when Morgan caught up with him.
"You sure move quick." Morgan caught his breathe and held out Reid messenger bag out for him. Reid took the back and dig for his car keys which Morgan held out in his other hand. "Looking for these?" Morgan saw Reid try to grab them but Morgan pulled them back. "You are not driving like this. Come on, lets talk Pretty Boy."
"Give me my car keys."
"I won't let you drive in your state. Look at you, you never forgot your bag or do things without thinking them through."
"I'll take the train if I have to but I am going to the airport and getting the first plane out." Morgan saw the determination on Reid's face. He wasn't even on planning on packing. Morgan sighed and took his own keys out of his pocket. "Fine. But I am driving you there. At least my car has an AC." Morgan joked but Reid just took the lead and walked towards Morgan's car.
The ride to the airport was silent. No matter how much Morgan insisted on talking about this, there was no way of changing the Doctor's mind. He arrived at the airport and parked his car, wanting to talk to Reid more but Reid simply opened the door and walked into the building. With a flash of his badge he quickly got to the front of the line. Morgan followed behind and heard the ticket price for one. He almost whistled out loud but Reid did not question the price. He paid for the ticket and headed towards security check. Morgan sighed as he swiped his credit card to pay for the adjacent seat next to Reid and joined him at the checks.
After showing their badges again and heading towards the gate, it finally occurred to Reid that Morgan was still following him. He stopped and turned to see his friend also stopping and waiting for him to say something. Reid opened his mouth but quickly closed it and continued his walk towards their gate.
Morgan laughed again as the movie kept him entertained on the airplane. He felt Reid tapping his shoulder and quickly pulled his headphones he borrowed from the air stewardess off.
"What is it Pretty Boy?"
"I never thanked you for coming with me."
"It better be a few thank you's in my future, not just one. You can start buy paying for this ticket when the bill comes around." Morgan smiled while Reid grinned.
"Hotch is going to be so angry." Reid mumbled
"Hotch understands all this Reid. He would of probably fired me if I didn't tag along. And he could probably fire me for coming along as well. But you couldn't do this alone. I know we promised not to profile each other but after... Hankel and what you went through, its hard not to worry what you are truly thinking because you hide it a bit too well. Talk to me Reid. What is going on in that big brain of yours. "
Reid sighed and wondered how they were the best profilers in the world but yet respected each other enough not to profile one another. "Why didn't she tell me. I have many reasons why not to tell me but it just doesn't fit her. It didn't end bad between us. We just decided it was time because of the job training she was about to do and well our job really isn't a 9 to 5 sort of thing. The long distance took its toll and it was a mutual decision. So it was not to seek some sort of revenge out on me. It wasn't to hurt me because she wouldn't...
I know she wouldn't. She forgot to tell me? One could forget not to buy milk or forget to feed the fish but not tell me I was a father? My.. son. My son has been without a father for almost 5 years. I missed out on 5 years of his life. I never pictured myself having children at my age but I knew I was never going to abandon them or let them grow up without a father like I did. I wasn't going to make that mistake with them. Why didn't she tell me Morgan?" Reid's tears were on the edge of Reid's eyes. He blinked his eyes and wiped them off with his hand. For once in his life, Reid did not have an answer and for once in his life Morgan was silent.
(~L~o~S~)
The two agents walked into the police station and checked in the front desk. The ride to Vegas on the plane was silent but the ride from the airport to the Las Vegas police department was full of unanswered questions. Morgan rarely saw Reid so demanding and so confused at the same time when speaking or trying to speak to someone in charged. They had informed them to arrive at the department and all would be handled there. Morgan was signing for a gun to use while down there in Vegas while Reid paced around a bit, wondering what was taking so long. Morgan text Hotch that they had arrived in Vegas and quickly got a response from Hotch not to leave Reid alone. Morgan signed for the small automatic and smiled as he placed it in the empty holder he had on his belt. He felt naked without it. It was close to 6:00pm when they were finally approached by an officer handling the case.
"Sorry for so much secrecy agents. I am Officer Samuel Bhatt. Please follow me." Bhatt motioned them to follow him and lead the two agents towards an interrogating room. Reid wanted his answers now.
"Wait. Officer Bhatt. Are you handling this case? I really would want to speak to someone in charge reguarding my son." Reid spoke at the officer but he kept on walking. "Please answer me officer." Reid stopped the officer from walking any further and made him face him. Reid held onto the Officer's arm and was not going to walk another inch until he got his answers.
"Excuse me Agent..."
"Doctor Reid."
"_Doctor_. I am the officer in charge but I can not speak to you about this matter until you meet with the victims lawyer. May I have please have my arm back Doctor." Bhatt looked at Reid straight in the eye and Reid knew he was speaking the truth. Bhatt was uncomfortable holding out information and not working faster on this case but there was a directive here and a piece of paper stopping him from giving the two agents more information.
"Come on Reid. Let him go. It is not his fault." Morgan placed a hand on Reid's shoulder and tried to calm his friend. Reid let go of the officer's arm and ran his hand through his hair.
"Sorry Officer. Just... Just all this...You said Lawyer? Who? Who is her lawyer?" Reid asked but the Officer simply walked over to a room and opened the door. He motioned for the agents to step inside and there was the lawyer there waiting for them. He was sitting across from the table drinking the police department coffee with a briefcase on the table. He looked up at the two agents who walked in and smiled at them.
"Agent Morgan." The lawyer stood up and walked the small distance to greet the agents. He stuck his hand out and shook Morgans hand. Morgan shook the lawyer's hand firmly and kept an eye on Reid. It did not go unnotice that the young doctor tensed up and stood up straigther as the lawyer's hand came towards him.
"Agent Reid." The Lawyer stuck his hand out at Reid who only looked at the hand and wrinkled his brow.
"Doctor Reid." Reid corrected the lawyer and crossed his arms across his chest. The lawyer just smiled at him and motioned the two agents to sit. Reid uncrossed his arms and stood as Morgan took a seat and held out a seat for Reid. Reid placed his bag on the table and looked at the lawyer who was taking his seat across from them. Officer Bhatt took a seat and grabbed his file that was near the lawyer's briefcase.
"What are you doing here Dad?" Reid finally spoke to the Lawyer. William Reid sighed and motioned for Reid to take his seat.
"Son...please sit. I will explain all this."
Oh! Did you expect that? Yes or no? I love this! You see that button down there? Down... down that says Review? It loves to have reviews and I will be so grateful if you do leave one. Pretty please? Do it for Reid. Come on! Thanks for reading! Next Chapter we get to know more and know for once and for all, Spencer's son! YAY!
