Garcia found him a couple minutes later. She walked in to find the kitchen a mess, but with a happy Reid sitting on the counter and eating large spoonfuls of sugar coated in something black.
"What are you doing, sugar? Come back to the office with me."
Reid looked up at her, put down the bag of sugar, and hopped off the counter. He followed Garcia out the door, but after a second thought, turned back and took the bag of sugar with him.
…
"Hello, Sir. I wouldn't ask if it was absolutely necessary, but can you send in some backup to help with Reid?" Garcia called Hotch and began to plead for help. In the short amount of time that Spencer was with her, he had already made Garcia feel like pulling her hair out-no matter how much she liked him and knew that he wasn't in his right mind.
"Alright, Garcia, I'll send JJ over there to pick him up."
…
About a half hour later, JJ walked into Garcia's office to find Reid tied to a chair. She looked at Garcia inquisitively.
"What?" She responded. "He took my headset, wouldn't stop pressing buttons, and broke my favorite pink pen!"
JJ sighed and began to untie Reid. She led him out to her car and began to drive back to the crime scene.
"Now, Spence, you probably don't remember me, but my name is Jennifer Jareau aka JJ. We once went to a Redskins game together."
Spencer looked over at her. "JJ! Oh, I remember you! You wanted me to help your son get into Yale. Why Yale? Cal Tech is so much better. I think someone I know graduated from there."
Yes, it sounds like his memory is starting to come back, JJ thought. She smiled. "That's right, Spence. Now, when we get to the crime scene, don't touch anything and be careful, okay?"
Spencer nodded rigorously.
…
The first thing Reid did when he got out of the car was walk towards Morgan.
He tapped him on the shoulder. "Excuse me, Mister. I think I know you. Do you know me? And have you met JJ?"
Morgan turned to look at JJ. "How come he remembers you name and not mine?"
"What can I say?" She replied. "I guess he just likes me better. Oh, the press is calling. Can you take him for a minute? Thanks." She walked away before Morgan had a chance to protest. He shook his head and turned back to Reid.
"Alright, Reid. For the last time, my name is Derek Morgan. You are now going to sit right here and not leave this spot until I say so."
Spencer sat down in the spot that Morgan indicated. "Well, Sir, I still don't know your name, but do you know the blond wizard?"
Now it was Morgan's turn to be confused. "The blond what?"
"Wizard. She likes pink, blinking lights, and talking to little people inside something she wears on her head."
"Garcia?" Morgan asked.
"I guess that's her name. Are you two married? She has a lot of pictures of you." He lowered his voice. "I think she likes you."
Morgan smiled and laughed. "Sorry, Kid. We're both still single, but she is dating someone named Kevin. You remember him, right?"
Reid shook his head. "Sorry, no, not at all. Wait, is he that nerdy-looking guy? I don't think he looks very friendly."
Well, at least he seems to like me more than Kevin. "Sit right there and don't let me see that you've moved." He turned and began to walk back towards Hotch.
Spencer called after him: "I think you do like her. You should get married."
Morgan looked back and arched his eyebrows. "Stay." He continued walking. Maybe someday, Kid. Maybe someday.
…
Morgan came back an hour later to check on Reid. He found him still seated in the same place, but there were no leaves, branches, or grass around him. Morgan looked closer and saw that Reid somehow built a city out of the foliage. He shook his head. There is nothing that kid can't do.
"Hey, Reid. It's been decided that you're going to stay with Gideon for a while. Hotch thinks that he'll be able to fix your memory."
Gideon. Reid did remember him, but only slightly. He jumped up from where he was sitting, crushing his mini town.
Morgan actually felt kind of bad that Reid spent an entire hour making that, just so it would get crushed. Looking closer he saw that Reid even made people and cars. If he never gets his memory back, maybe he can go into the model airplanes and cars industries. "Come on, Kid. Let's go find Gideon." Morgan began to walk away with Reid trailing quickly behind him.

Author's Note:
Sorry this chapter is so short, but this seemed like a good place to stop. I didn't want to stop in the middle of Reid's adventures with Gideon. As always, thanks for reading and writing the awesome reviews, and I'll try to update ASAP.
Love,
Me
