Morgan laid Spencer on the couch and picked up the phone to call an ambulance. Morgan ran to his closet to get come towels and wash clothes. He tried his best to wipe off all the blood. Spencer came through a short time later.

"What happened?"

"You tell me Pretty boy, what happened?" Morgan asked, "I wish you would have just stayed."

Spencer froze tears streaming down him eyes. He frowned and said, "Me too."

Morgan rushed over to him and hugged him tightly, "It's okay, shh I'm here now."

They heard a knock on the door and Morgan ran to grab it. He let the police and the paramedics in. One of the cops that was first on the scene was Officer Aaron Hotchner. Morgan knew him well enough, he was always there when kids broke into the center.

"Hi Derek, I didn't know this was your house."

"Hey, yeah listen my..uh friend. He is hurt." Morgan said sadly.

"Well, let me get your statement and then I can get his after the paramedics look him over." Aaron said, "Why don't we go into the kitchen.."

"Okay, there isn't much to tell." Morgan made his way to a chair, "I answered my door and he was all banged up. I don't know what happened. I'm pretty useless, Hotch."

"No worries." Aaron sighed.

The paramedics came into the room and asked to speak to Hotch alone. Hotch looked from him to Morgan. Once the medic left Hotch took a seat again, "Did you know your friend is a prostitute, Morgan?"

Morgan sighed and his face fell into his hands, "Yes, I know he is. What does that matter?"

"Well for starters that changes the whole thing. Morgan, you have a prostitute in your house. That doesn't look good." Aaron stated.

"Well then, it's a good fucking thing I'm not trying to impress anyone right now." Morgan growled, "Look, Hotch is he gonna be alright? I haven't gotten a chance to talk to him yet and I wanna make sure that he is alright?"

"He will be fine. The medic said he wasn't raped, he was just banged up pretty bad."

There was another knock on the door and Morgan ran to let the person in, only he didn't know her.

"Can I help you?" Morgan asked.

"Uh, I hope so. Me and my friend Jennifer...we are looking for our friend. His name is Spencer." she said gesturing towards the blonde standing behind her.

"He is here. Come on in." Morgan frowned.

"Emily!" Spencer cried.

"Oh my god, Spence..." JJ said, "What happened?"

"I got attacked. I should have listened to you Em.." Spencer said staring at her, "I should have known better. I just didn't think this would happen."

JJ looked at the floor, while he was talking. She couldn't bring herself to look at her friend. She felt horrible, if she was out there with him maybe none of this would have happened. Emily walked over to Spencer and hugged him. Another officer walked over to the scene.

"Hotchner are you ready to go?" the officer said, "This is a waste of time. These people get attacked

every day. What's the difference?"

"Excuse me?!" Emily and Morgan said at the same time.

"Look, Officer Rossi. I don't know who you think you are, but I'm telling you now you better do your job.

I don't care if you think this is a waste of your precious time. I want this guy found and I want charges

pressed. If you don't find the son of a bitch who did this than I will." Morgan growled while Hotch pulled

him away from the officer.

"Rossi go wait in the car."

Emily smiled, thank god someone spoke up.

"Spencer, can you describe the guy?" Aaron asked.

Once Spencer began describing the man JJ started shaking.

"Are you okay?" Aaron asked.

"No, that sounds like the guy that beat me up. Right down to the way he smelled." JJ began to cry and

Emily pulled her close.

"Okay, it's been a long night. Can we wait until tomorrow for statements, please.." Morgan shook his

head.

Hotch nodded and told his team to leave. He told Morgan that he would be back the next day for their

statements.

"How did you guys know something happened?" Spencer asked.

"Marlene called JJ and then she got in touch with me. She saw the guy dump you outta the car. She went

to help you but by the time she got there you were gone." Emily stated coolly.

Morgan sighed, "Hi, I'm Derek."

Emily and JJ shook his hand and introduced themselves.

"Spencer why did you leave? You coulda stayed here." Morgan said.

Emily told him about how Spencer met with her and how he gave her money for her and JJ. They all

pretty much took care of each other. Morgan frowned he was so distraught by the situation he needed to

breath.

"Stay with him please. I'll be right back."

Emily and JJ nodded as Morgan escaped for the backyard. He sat on the porch with Clooney.

"Hey boy..I hope your night is turning out better than mine." Morgan petted him and frowned.

He sat out there for a little while longer until he heard the back door, he turned expecting to see one of the

girls but it was Spencer who came out. He sat beside Morgan and laid his head on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry..." Spencer mumbled.

"No, I'm sorry I should have tried harder to get you to stay. It's my fault and by the way, why did you

leave the money?" Morgan asked.

"Derek it was too much. You know that and this was not your fault. None of it." Spencer sighed.

"I'll be right back." Morgan said kissing Spencer's forehead.

Morgan went inside to collect the money Spencer left on the desk. He went to the living room and told the

girls that he was taking them and Spencer to dinner.

"No, you really don't have to.." Emily started.

"I want to. You guys came all this way and besides it's late and I'm sure you guys haven't eaten." Morgan

stated.

As if on cue JJ's stomach growled.

"Damn. Traitor." JJ mumbled.

Emily laughed and nodded.

"There is one more thing. I want you guys to have this." Morgan said.

Both woman looked up, JJ shook her head no.

"No. We can't do that. It's not right. You have been so good to Spencer and that is the only thing I could

have asked for. You were there for him so for that I am grateful, but I can't take your money." Emily

frowned.

"Take it. I mean it. He just wants to know that you guys are okay. I can relate to that and I want you guys

to have it. You have been through enough." he said looking at JJ.

JJ looked down and Morgan place the money into her hands.

"Really I want you to have it."

"Have what?" Spencer asked.

"Nothing..I was just telling the girls that I wanna take you all out for dinner." Morgan said, "And I'm

paying."

JJ looked over at Emily who just shrugged.

"Come on ladies. Anywhere you wanna go." Morgan ushered them out into the night.

Even thought Morgan used this as distraction for himself he couldn't seem to concentrate on anything else

but Spencer. He knew he wouldn't have any trouble convincing him to stay but he wasn't sure how much

longer he could keep this up. Morgan sighed driving away, trying to leave those thoughts behind him.
