DISCLAIMER- I OWN NOTHING OF CRIMINAL MINDS NOR DO I GET PAIDED OR PROFITTED BY UPLOADING THIS STORY. Sorry I haven't updated this story in a few days, I just got really busy so in order to repay my loyal fans I am going to make this chapter twice as long to make up for missing a day.

Hotch got the team gathered in the police conference room and announced, "Reid has been kidnapped by his stalker Joey Sanders and in the process we think he has a head injury, been shot in the leg, and a possible concussion. The amount of blood leads us to believe that Reid is seriously injured and without medical help will more than likely die within 24-32 hours which means that is our time frame in order to find him. We need to put everything we have into finding Reid. On that note I want JJ and Emily to head back to the scene of the crime to see if they can find anything, Morgan I want you to call Garcia and have her dig into Joey's life and see what she can find."

The first thing that Reid noticed when he woke up was that he was in a vehicle that was moving about 75 mph and that he was in either a trunk or under a back seat. When he tried to move around he noticed that both his hands and feet were tied together with what felt like either rope or rough textured fabric of some sort. Reid felt something making its way down his face and he got a feeling that it wasn't water so he knew that he was injured, but with his hands being tied behind his back he couldn't tell how bad he was injured. After a few minutes of him trying to find out how to escape the vehicle came to a stop and he heard a car down shut and another one open. Soon after someone got into the trunk (he figured that's where he was) and grabbed him roughly by his arm and dragged him out and towards a barn like house.

"So Reid, we are finally where we belong, together and at the house I built for us. Don't you just love it here? There are no pesky neighbors that will ask questions, no police going to go by and take you from me, and most importantly privacy so we can do whatever we want whenever we want to," Joey told Reid as he caressed Reid's cheek.

"Joey, please listen to me, I don't love you the way you love me and I never will. You can't take me away from the people I love and expect me to love you, if you let me go and we get to know each other then I promise to give you a chance. Just please let me go home to all my friends from the F.B.I because I bet they are really worried about me," Reid tried to plead with Joey as he started to cry. Since waking up in the trunk of a car Reid discovered that he had a pretty bad concussion and most likely bleeding in the brain also.

Joey looked like he wanted to kill Reid as he said, "You know that can't happen because I have been after you for quite a while and I don't give others what rightfully belongs to me. Oh, look you're bleeding, let us go inside, clean you up, and get some sleep because we have a big day tomorrow." Joey dragged Reid inside the barn like house and up some stairs to a room that looked big enough to fit a small army. "Now while you get cleaned up I'm going to go make us some dinner," Joey said as he left the room.

Reid got the rope untied from his feet, but couldn't manage to get the ties around his arms free. He went to the window and noticed that it wasn't locked so he opened it to find that he could jump out of the window and try to make an escape. He through his feet out the window first then jumped out the window and landed softly in a pile of leaves, quickly standing he made a fun for the woods and ducked behind trees. Hiding behind some bushes he realized that no one had noticed that he had gotten free so he took off running without looking where he was going nor caring as long as he was far away from his stalker.

Reid ran and ran without being found until the sun started to go down and the night started to set in, but even then he only slowed down to a jog. He hadn't yet found any town or road yet, but he was confident that if he just kept on running eventually find a road or civilization. The feeling of something like water running down his face didn't go away and he feared that he was losing a lot of blood and that he needed to find help and he needed to find it soon or he might never see his team again.

"So I found that Joey has two friends named Robby Huruts and Stash Carmichel, who both happen to have a rap sheet for kidnapping, drug abuse, DUI's, and the list goes on. There was nothing to show that Joey used his card these last few months, but I did find that Stash made a suspicious withdraw and he just recently bought an old farm that is 30 miles out from where you guys are. I already sent the address to you guys now go save Reid and bring him back safely," Garcia said.

Without hesitating Hotch said, "Load up in the cars and lets go get Reid back. Make sure to inform the local police department and get an ambulance out there now!" The whole team loaded up into two black sedans's and put their lights on and sped out to the address that Garcia had just sent them. They all were worried sick about Reid and hoped that he was okay and well when they found him. They arrived at the address as the sun was sinking into the mountains and the moon and stars where starting to make their appearance. A quick search of the grounds showed that someone was inside and then barging into the house they found Joey and his little friends.

Hotch arrested them and said, "Where is Spencer Reid? We didn't find him when we searched the house and we know that you took him so you have two seconds to tell me the truth about where Reid is?!"

"Well when we brought him here he was bleeding so we left him to shower and when we went to check on him an hour later the window had been opened and he wasn't anywhere to be found. We went looking for him, but all we found was blood leading into the forest and then it cut off a few feet into the forest," Joey said as he looked really depressed.

Morgan was really pissed and when he heard this he said, "Oh, so you went looking and then after a few minutes you decided that Reid wasn't important and just went back to pretending that everything was okay when Reid was lost in a forest, scared to death, and most likely dying. You're telling me that you just didn't care enough to go looking when you found him missing, that after ten years of looking for him you just decide to let him die in a forest, scared and alone? Is that what you are telling me?!"

"JJ call the police department and request they bring their dogs out here and tell them that they need to be here within the next 45 minutes because once the temperature starts to drop hypothermia will start to set in with Reid and once that happens I can guarantee that he won't make it," Hotch told her.

Reid didn't have much clothing on and after a few hours it started to get extremely cold and he knew that if he didn't find somewhere warm fast that hypothermia would start to set it. He kept walking in a random direction hoping to find a road soon when he started to get really tired he crawled under a bush and tried to keep warm, but as the seconds went by it just kept getting colder and colder and pretty soon he knew that hypothermia was starting to set in. Right as Reid was starting to panic and started to think that maybe he would die here all by himself lost in the woods he heard dogs running and people yelling out his name.

He heard a familiar voice yell, "PRETTY BOY IF YOU CAN HEAR ME THEN PLEASE YELL HELP! WE NEED TO GET YOU MEDICAL HELP SO PLEASE YELL AS LOUD AS YOU CAN IF YOU CAN HEAR ME!" He knew that voice belonged to one of his friends so with all his strength he yelled, "SOMEONE HELP ME! I WAS KIDNAPPED AND NEED HELP! PLEASE, HOTCH, JJ, EMILY, MORGAN, ROSSI, PLEASE HELP ME!" After that he heard the voices getting closer so he tried his hardest to crawl out from under the bush when he heard, "Over here guys! I found him!"

Even though the voices were next to him he couldn't see the feet, see the forest he was supposed to be in, he couldn't even see two inches in front of his face and he knew that was a really bad sign. He felt hands grab him and heard someone say, "Hey, Reid you're safe now and we are going to get you help, but first you need to open those pretty eyes of yours and tell us what hurts and what happened. Can you do that for me?" He knew that he should respond, but he was just so tired from running all day, from the all the blood he lost, and because the body was really warm and he was freezing. Soon after he felt the hands his world went dark.

Morgan picked up Reid and tried to get his friend to open his eyes and to talk to him. Reid's skin was so cold that Morgan took his coat off and put it on top of Reid to see if that would help. It got really worrisome when Reid's head just flopped onto Morgan's shoulder that Morgan yelled, "Guys he needs the ambulance right now!" With that said Morgan started to run as fast as he could towards the ambulance he knew was at the house by now. When he reached the ambulance the EMT's took Reid out of his hands and started to find a pulse.

When they couldn't find a pulse Morgan's heart dropped down into his stomach and seeing the EMT's flurry about trying to save his friend was the last thing Morgan saw before they shut the doors and the ambulance took off. JJ and the rest of the team came running up to him and he told them, "They couldn't find a pulse and he was so cold that he felt like a corpse. I…" and that's when he broke down crying.

The rest of the team hugged each other and just cried for a while before they all got into the cars and started to speed off to the hospital the ambulance took Reid too. Since Reid had no family the staff let the team sit in the waiting room to hear of the news regarding their best and youngest friend. They arrived at the hospital roughly at 1:34 am and they still didn't have any news roughly at 9:50 am and they all started to fear the worst.

The doctor walked into the family room and said, "Spencer Reid's family," he proceeded when everyone stood up, "We got him stabilized for now, but it looks like he hit his head really good and we had to use 9 stiches, he has a concussion, and sometime during his whole ordeal he got a bullet stuck in his upper thigh. We got the bullet out, but with everything that happened he got multiple infections so he will be antibiotics to keep the infections from spreading, but I would consider him lucky. He is currently in a medically induced coma so that his body can heal properly and has the time to do it correctly."

"That's really good to hear, but when can we see him? When do you think he will come out of the coma and be able to go home?" Emily asked the doctor.

"Well judging by the extent of his injuries there is a possibility that he will be in the coma for at least a week to three weeks. You can see him whenever you want as long as you don't disturb the other patients," the doctor said as he left the waiting room. Everyone let the breath they were holding when they heard the news that their best friend would be okay and that they didn't have to plan his funeral.

"Well, let's go visit little Reid instead of sitting in the waiting room. Only a few of us should stay the night with Reid though and I think that Morgan and Emily should take the first shift while the rest of us go to the hotel and get some sleep. Morgan and Emily, if anything changes or if someone tries to take Reid just call us and we be here before you can even finish your sentence. We'll leave you guys one of the cars," Hotch said with finality in his voice.

Emily and Morgan got directions from a nurse to Reid's room and both went to see their best friend. When they got to the room they noticed that there was a couch and a chair so Morgan told Emily to take a nap and he would wake her up when he got tired. Morgan grabbed the chair and put it right next to Reid's bed and grabbed one of his hands and said, "Reid, you really scared the shit out of me today and I just want you to know that you're my best friend and if you ever scare me like that again I will go berserk and loss my temper. You mean the world to everyone on the team just because you're so innocent even if you don't think so and because even when something seems hopeless you also keep your head up and think positive. So you can't ever scare the team like this again okay?"

Even though Emily was supposed to be asleep she still heard what Morgan said and it was so true that she felt herself cry because she knew how close she was to losing one of her best friends. Morgan sat right next the Reid just holding his hand until he felt himself nodding off so he decided that he should wake Emily and let her sit next to Reid while he caught up on some sleep.

Gently shaking her Morgan said, "Hey, I think you better take a seat next to Reid before I fall into a sleep induced coma. Maybe you should call and wake up the rest of the team too so they can come visit Reid if they want." Emily got up and let Morgan sleep while she made a few calls to the rest of the team to see if they wanted to visit Reid. They all said that they would be to the hospital within the next few hours. With that done Emily sat in the seat that was next to Reid's bedside and held onto his hand like Morgan did and whispered, "Hey there Reid it's me Emily and I just want you to know that you can wake up whenever you feel ready okay? You need all the sleep you can get so don't rush to much on waking up just for us, you hear me? The rest of the team will be here later today to say hi to you because you are so loved. We all love you Reid so just make sure that you wake up when you are fully okay and not any sooner."

A week had passed since the team had arrested Joey Sander and his little friends while also saving Reid and yet Reid was still in the medically induced coma because his body had not yet healed. The team had stayed in a hotel that was right around the corner because they didn't want to leave Reid behind and yet he still lies in his hospital bed looking very peaceful.

Another week had passed and still Reid lay still in his bed not ever moving, not ever opening his eyes, never speaking to anyone who spoke to him. When another five days passed and the doctors started to worry that he went into a coma because of the medication, but discovered they were wrong a day later. That day Dr. Spencer Reid opened up his pretty brown eyes and saw the world again after almost three weeks of being asleep.

I know what you're all thinking and I'm sorry it took me so long to update, but I was just so busy with life that I totally forgot about updating my story. It isn't of the best quality because I had to hurry and type this in like a half hour. Anyways just leave a review of what you think of my latest chapter. I don't know how many more chapters I will write for this story yet, but I should be ending this story in the next few chapters so please leave a review. Oh, and I won't be updating this story until the day after Christmas so I will be M.I.A for about two to three days. As always please no flames.
