Thanks for all the reviews!

"What do you want?" Hotch demanded, heated anger in his tone. He couldn't get over how traumitized Reid looked.

"Respect. And I don't want people to think I'm invisible."

"Well the latter has been taken care of. Not so sure on the respect part."

"At the end of the day you WILL respect me," the voice growled.

"I don't respond well to threats," Hotch hissed.

"Fine," the man shot back. "I want 10 million dollars within 5 hours."

"I don't have those kinds of connections..."

"Bullshit. 10 million. If you don't your young co-worker dies. And everyone else near him. I suggest you clear the office."

Hotch looked surprised.

"You're not going to make us stay here?"

"If you stay where you are how the hell will you be able to transfer my money to me? Since someone from your team WILL be doing the transfering. Besides I know how much Dr. Reid means to the team. Enough that if his life is in danger you will do almost anything to save him. Oh and Hotch?"

"Yes?"

"Don't call the bomb squad. If they come anywhere near Dr. Reid it's over. Do you understand?"

Hotch swollowed. He really really didn't like being threatened.

"Yes, I understand."

He closed the phone.

"What did the sonofabitch want?" Morgan asked quietly. He couldn't stop looking at the kid's tear stained face.

"10 million in 5 hours."

"Not asking for much now, is he?" Sighed Rossi and folded his arms.

"We should call someone," JJ said quietly. Hotch nodded.

"I need to figure out who."

"Strauss?" Emily suggested, even though it pained her. Hotch shook his head.

"She'd send in the bomb squad."

"And is that such a bad thing?" Morgan shot back. "In case you haven't forgotten, Hotch, Reid has a BOMB strapped to his Goddamned chest!"

"I haven't forgotten," hissed Hotch." He ordered no bomb squad. I think he can see us."

Rossi closed his eyes.

"Damn it."

"But he's allowing everyone in the office to leave."

"He is?" Garcia looked stunned. He nodded.

"I want you all to leave now, as fast as you can. "

"What about you?" Morgan demanded.

"I'm staying with Reid. He can't be alone right now."

"Then I'm staying too," Morgan said stubboringly.

"Morgan-"

"So am I," Emily interrupted. JJ and Garcia also announced that they were staying. Hotch closed his eyes.

"I appreciate your loyality towards the team..."

"We'll get the other agents out of here," Rossi said calmly. "But you're stuck with us, Hotch. And so's Reid."

Hotch rubbed his forehead. There was no time to argue.

"Fine, you can stay, but get the others out!"

Rossi and JJ both directed the people towards one of the other enterances.

Reid was still frozen in the doorway, too scared to move, breathe, or even think. Sweat trickled down on him.

"I have phone calls to make." Hotch lookd at Morgan. "Comfort him."

Morgan nodded quickly and walked over to Reid.

"Hey there, pretty boy."

"Go away Morgan!" Reid shouted, fear in his voice.

"We're not going anywhere,Spence," JJ said quietly.

"No, JJ, you have to leave," Reid begged. "You have a son..."

"I'm staying." Her voice was firm. "I'm not going to let Henry grow up without a Godfather."

A tear trickled down Reid's face.

"Reid," Garcia said softly. "It's going to be okay."

"I have a bomb strapped to my chest, Garcia! How is it going to be okay?"

"You should sit," Rossi said suddenly as he came up to them.

"What?"

"He's right," Emily quickly said. "The bomber didn't say you couldn't move, did he?"

Reid shook his head.

"I just have to...stay in this office." They saw his legs tremble and it pained them to see him so scared.

"Come on kid." Morgan led Reid to a chair. Reid protested about being touched, but quickly caved.

"You all should go," he pleaded.

"We're not going anywhere, Reid," Hotch said suddenly as he walked up to the kid. "I got some help on the way but in the mean time I need you to know something." He knelt to Reid's level and took his arm. He could feel it trembling. "We're not going anywhere." Tears spilled from Reid's eyes. "And you're not going through this alone."

Tears fell from Reid's face as he desperatly wished they were out of harms way, but at the same time glad that he wasn't alone.
