Reid comes face-to-face with his dark side, he now knows that something isn't right with him, but what he doesn't know is what is causing it.
Reid closed his eyes. "Reid are you okay?" Hotchner asked. Reid rubbed his head. "I'm fine Hotch." Reid said. Prentiss looked at Reid with a worried look on her face. Morgan looked at Reid. "Hey kid, is your head hurting?" Morgan asked. "Oh no, I'm just fine. Just a bit tired." Reid told them. "No sign of Agent Rossi yet." JJ said with a frown. "He'll show up..." Reid mumbled.
The sky was dark purple. Reid looked around. "Where am I?" Reid asked. "You're in my world now." A voice told him. "I'm in another world?" Asked a confused Reid. "Yes, in my world which is not the same as your world." The voice told him. "Why am I here?" Reid asked. "Because you wanted to be here." The voice said. "No I didn't! I want to go back home! I want to go back!" Reid screamed. "You can't go back now." The voice said. "What do you want from me? Who the hell are you?" Reid asked. "You should know..." The voice told him. "Who are you? Show yourself!" Reid shouted. A figure came out of the darkness. "I am you Reid, you are me." The figure said as Reid came face-to-face with himself.
"Kid, are you alright? Kid?" Morgan said. Reid groaned softly. "Spence? Spence, are you okay?" JJ asked. Reid felt dizzy and he couldn't open his eyes. "Reid? Reid? Can you hear me?" Hotchner asked. Reid tried to answer but something stopped him. "Reid? Spencer? Can you speak?" Prentiss asked. Reid opened one of his eyes. "Kid, are you okay? Can you speak?" Morgan asked. "Spence, can you hear us?" JJ asked. Reid could only sit there and listen to his worried team mates.
Reid slowly sat up. "Hey guys, looks like Reid's up!" Prentiss yelled. Hotchner walked in. "Are you okay Reid?" He asked. "I feel better now." Reid said softly. "We were all pretty worried about you Reid, is something wrong?" Hotchner asked. "No, I'm fine." Reid lied. "Are you sure?" Hotchner asked. "I'm sure Hotch, I'm just fine." Reid lied.
Reid looked at the bottle. Am I really going to do this again? Reid asked himself. Reid heard a knock on his door. "Reid? Can I come in? Prentiss asked. "Come in, the door is open!" Reid called out as he put the bottle away. Prentiss walked in. "Are you okay Reid? You look awful!" Prentiss exclaimed. "I'm fine..." Reid said. It had been two weeks since Rossi body was found and it had been two days since Reid has taken the Dilaudid again. "Reid you look like you're half-dead!" Prentiss shouted. Reid glared at Prentiss. "I said I was fine!" Reid yelled at her. Prentiss was shocked by Reid's outburst.
Reid splashed his face with water. God...I feel so tired... Reid looked at the bags under his eyes. Reid heard a knock at the door. What is it now? Reid thought, slightly annoyed. "Open up kid!" Morgan shouted. "Come in! It's open!" Reid called out. Morgan walked in. "Hey Derek." Reid said with a smile. "Hotch has been calling you for the last few hours, why didn't you answer?" Morgan asked. "I didn't hear my phone ring." Reid told Morgan. "Where is your phone anyways Reid?" Morgan asked. "I'm not sure; I think I had it last night when I was talking to Em." Reid told him. Morgan eyes Reid. "What is it Derek?" Reid asked, slightly confused. "Is that blood?" Morgan asked pointing at Reid's shirt.
Reid looked at his sore hand. "Reid are you okay?" Hotchner asked. "Oh...? Ya I'm fine. Just a sore hand...I cut myself yesterday..." Reid mumbled. "You have to be more careful Spence." JJ told him. Prentiss stared at Reid. Reid gripped his head tightly. "Headache?" Morgan asked. "Ya..." Reid whispered. "Do you need some pain killer?" Hotchner asked. "No, I'll be fine." Reid said as he closed his eyes.
"I'm getting worried about Reid Hotch." JJ said. "I know something isn't right. Did you see that look Prentiss gave him?" Hotchner asked. "I saw it." JJ whispered. "Do you think it's the Dilaudid again?" Hotchner asked. "I don't know...he might be still struggling..." JJ said. Hotchner frowned. "Something just isn't Reid-like here..." Hotchner muttered under his breath.
