I don't own Criminal Minds

Enjoy

Spencer was on another boring case again, Sam thought. It had been two days, but Spencer left enough food to last him two weeks so Sam didn't have to worry about starving.

Spencer also had a tiny doggy-door installed to let Sam leave when he wanted to. He loved living with Spencer; it was calming, safe and enjoyable. Overall he was a good owner.

Sam was flipping through the channels on the TV but nothing good was on, so he decided to go out and take a walk down the street.

It was a beautiful day out, as Sam walked down the sideway he noticed something moving in an alley nearby.

A man was trying to mug a defenseless homeless man. "Please…I need this money for food…" he begged as the man tried to yank the few bills he had out of his pocket.

The mugger snorted, "Spare me old man…"

He flipped out a pocket knife. Then Sam jumped up and landed on the man's face, his claws digging into his flesh.

The man screamed and tried to get the cat off but in the shock of the cat attacking him, he dropped the knife.

Finally Sam jumped off of him and the man ran off. The homeless man smiled and petted the cat. "Thank you little one…I wish I could repay you with food…"

But then he reached into his pocket and got out a can of tuna that looked fresh and new like it was just bought.

"I was saving this for myself…but you can have it."

The cat pushed the can back into his hand and rubbed his hand on his palm. Then Sam left quickly to get back home.

Later that day, Spencer came home. He was weary and flopped down onto his bed. Sam went to sit next to him.

"Rough case huh?"

Spencer nodded; his eyes had bags under them. "A murderer and rapist…he was a school bus driver too… I'm just grateful he didn't target children…we managed to save one woman before he could harm her…but still…three women are dead."

Sam rubbed his head on Spencer's cheek. "Hey, come on…you stopped him and saved someone. That's a win in my book. You can't save everyone Spencer…how many times must I tell you that?"

Spencer sighed, "Yeah…you know it's interesting that the best psychologist I've ever met is my cat."

Sam laughed and so did he.
