Chapter Four: Jet Rides and Nightmares

Morgan let out a frustrated sigh as Audrey spoke up grinning as she laid her cards down on the table "Gin".

"Seriously"? Morgan exclaimed staring down at the cards in front of Audrey

"Yeah I win again. Want to play another round"? Audrey stated smiling still

"I don't know. I mean if its not you winning it's Reid. Reid are you sure that you don't cheat"? Morgan stated frowning as he started to shuffle the cards again.

"No how many times do I have to tell you people. I'm just good at cards. It's all numbers anyway". Spencer stated as he picked up his cup of coffee and took another sip.

Morgan rolled his eyes as he started to deal the cards "Yeah whatever. I know you've cheated before. I've seen you peak at the cards when you've played with Hotch and JJ. It's just gotten worst now since your helping Audrey cheat. I mean why else would it be that you two are the only ones that ever win"?

Spencer frowned speaking up again "I don't cheat I'm serious. I"m just good at cards. It's all numbers and one of my phd's is in Mathematics so naturally I'm good at things involving numbers".

Audrey giggled as she watched to two men bicker like siblings. She spoke up as she started to pick up her cards "Yeah and Besides even if I did cheat I'm perfectly sure I'd be able to do it without Spence's help. No offense Spencer".

Spencer started to feel his cheeks turn pink as he heard her make this comment.

He couldn't help but to love it when she called him Spence. Sure she wasn't the only one that called him that. JJ had been doing it since they first met. Even Though He'd had a slight crush on JJ a year ago her saying his name never had quite the same effect that Audrey made when she said it. He could honestly say that after that disastrous date to the football game with JJ last year that he now just thought of JJ as a sister.

Audrey had now taken the place of his workplace crush.

The only problem was he thought about her constantly. He would see a sign that had her first or last name in it and he automatically thought about her. He'd see a old movie marathon and he thought of her. He would see that there was a sale on produce and he'd remember that Audrey said she was a vegetarian in high school but had quit. It was seriously starting to get ridiculous.

He knew that he had to do something about it eventually but he couldn't quite make himself do it. He couldn't imagine asking her out. What would be more embarrassing that having her reject him? He knew he could never face her at work again if she ever rejected him.

He sighed staring down at his cards grateful that they were doing something relaxing. The last case had seemed like it would never end. He was sure that everyone was grateful to be going home. He was even more sure that everyone was grateful that the weekend was coming up.

Especially considering everyone except for Gideon and Hotch were planning on getting together.

He let out a sigh of relief when Morgan finally won. They had been playing cards for what seemed like forever now. Mainly because Morgan wouldn't let them quit until he won. Prentiss had quit a long time ago against his will. He had lost count of the amount of times they'd played Gin since she'd quit.

He didn't blame Morgan for getting a little frustrated after all before Audrey got here Reid always won at cards. Now that she was here it was either her or him always winning. Reid could admit that he sometimes let her win though. Just because he liked to see the little triumphant grin that spread across her face when she won.

She had been asking him to teach her how to properly play chess, but he wasn't sure he was up to the job. He'd have a hard time focusing on teaching her especially since he got butterflies in his stomach every single time she smiled at him or laughed or even asked him a question.

Audrey spoke up grinning as Morgan finally got up and went to the other side of the plane shoving a pair of headphones on "I let him win".

Spencer couldn't help but to laugh at this "You better not ever let him know that. He'll never let you live it down if he finds out".

She giggled nodding her head "Yeah I know".

She shoved a pair of headphones on before laying back and falling asleep.

Spencer knew he should probably go to sleep too it was late and he still had work tomorrow.

Tomorrow was Friday which meant that the day after that they would all be meeting up at one of the many bars downtown. It was some place that Morgan had picked out. Which meant that it would probably include dancing and tons of people.

This frightened Spencer considering dancing was one of the things he was completely horrible at. He looked like a complete idiot when he even attempted to dance. He also was completely awkward and not to mention he had a lack of coordination. So he never did well when it came to being around strangers.

He didn't know how he would handle it if he did something stupid in front of Audrey. He frowned as he had this thought. This wasn't high school and he wasn't twelve years old anymore. Surely he could go to a party and have a good time with his friends like a normal person.

He frowned looking over at Audrey as she started to squirm in her seat almost like she was fighting someone off. She was mumbling something under her breath.

She was obviously deep asleep and having a nightmare. He wasn't that surprised. More than likely everyone who did this job suffered from nightmares at some point. He had his share of them.

Audrey frowned in her sleep as a familiar scene took place in her head running through the woods. Trying to get far away from the cabin where her dead parents were laying. He had started to come at them when they'd walked in on him. It was dark and cold. She was alone. She had made Greta split up with her. She regretted this now. The little girl couldn't protect herself if she met up with him. Right as she started to make it to what she hoped was the highway he'd gotten her. Tackling her stabbing her over and over again in the same spot with the same knife he had used on her parents. The pain was horrible. So horrible that she'd passed out.

Audrey shot up in her seat knowing that she'd broken into a cold sweat. She had this nightmare so often these days. Not that she'd really consider it that much of a nightmare. Since it had actually happened. It seemed like such a long time ago though she'd only been sixteen and she still had the scar that proved it had happened.

She was lucky she'd fainted when he'd stabbed her in the back. He'd thought she was dead when she'd fainted and her sister had made it to a car on the highway and gotten help. She had woken up in a hospital room and met Jason Gideon. The man who had changed her life for the better.

She bit her bottom lip seeing that Spencer was giving her an extremely concerned look. She spoke up "Sorry it was a nightmare".

He nodded his head giving her comforting smile. He spoke up seeing that she was now wide awake "Do you want some coffee"?

She smiled thankful that he didn't ask her what her nighmare was about "Yes thank you".

His compassion was one of the main reasons she liked him. He was unlike any other guy she had ever met. He was intelligent and sweet. Not to mention attractive. She knew he didn't think that he was attractive, but he was. She thought he was incredibly attractive even though he was a bit nerdy and a little awkward. She found these things completely endearing. She hoped he found her just as attractive and interesting.

Spencer got up and headed to the back of the jet towards the coffee pot. He couldn't help but to let his mind wonder. What kind of things did she dream about?
