Alright, well I decided to throw a little bit of Caleb in here just for a sense of completeness and besides…it seemed the perfect way to torture you all before I torture Reid. Still confused? Read on…or Reid on…ha.
Caleb sighed. It had been a long night and he could see it stretching longer ahead of him. He had just caught his mother sneaking downstairs for the third time since he had put her to bed at eight. It was now ten thirty.
He wondered if this would all be different should his father still be alive and alright. He was supposed to be the unruly and rebellious teenager, sneaking downstairs after the house had gone to sleep to have a few drinks. His father was supposed to be the man of the house. Catching when he was halfway drunk was practically his role in later life and Caleb wished dearly that his father was the one doing the dragging right now and he was the one being dragged. Instead here he was, carefully manoeuvring his tearful mother along the upstairs hallway and into her bedroom.
After he had finally got her into bed he shut the door and leant his back on it. He was just preparing himself to go get sheets and make up one of the guest rooms which had the disadvantage of being small and cold and smelling funny, however they happened to be in between his mothers room and the alcohol and if he had to sleep in there to keep her from drinking herself to death then he would.
He felt his phone ring against his hip and pulled it out. Expecting Sarah, or possibly Pogue, as he glanced at the screen he was surprised to see Tyler's name flashing on the tiny piece of technology. He slid it open and held it to his ear.
"What's up Ty?" He asked casually as he made his way downstairs. He turned right at the bottom to go to the linen cupboard then froze, half turning to face the door.
"He' WHERE?"
HAHAHAHAHA aren't I evil? Now review and I'll actually give you the Reid angst. If Dean doesn't kill me the next time she sees me…Remember: if I die I can't update! So please don't kill me. I just wanted to leave it on a cliff hanger, most probably the only one in this story, but come on, it had to have one! …I am so dead…but you could at least review before/while you kill me, I won't be able to appreciate them if it's after.
