I don't own criminal minds

When Reid got home he was almost tackled to the ground by Kevin and Lance. "Finally you get home. Austin had said something about you helping the cops with a murderer?" Lance asked as he walked into the kitchen.

"Yeah, where's Austin?" He asked looking around.

"Oh, we she's outside, in the back." Lance said as he smiled at his brother. "We're going to see how good you are with a gun, today."

"Oh no, guys I'm beat. I just got home and I haven't slept since yesterday morning.

Without a word the two brothers lifted Reid up, his feet dangling about a foot off the ground. Reid sighed and let his friends carry him outside. He saw Austin putting up a photo of the Dixie chicks. Kevin handed him a gun and said, "Let me see how well you can shoot."

Reid breathed in deeply and let it out slowly. He closed his eyes and opened them. Then he saw that he wasn't in his and Austin's backyard. Instead he was inside a building, not just a building a shooting range. He fired his gun and he sucked at it. A man was talking to him. He could hear what he was saying. "Did you learn that from J.J.?"

He came back into reality and stumbled backward lowering the gun. "Hotch, J.J." Was all he said as he sat down.

Austin sat down beside him holding him, "What's a Hotch and who's J.J.?" She asked trying to figure it out.

Reid started to laugh. "No, Aaron Hotchner he's my boss. But I can't figure out where I worked at. J.J. is a girl that I work with." He looked sheepishly at Austin, hoping she wouldn't get mad at what he was about to say. "I think I had a crush on her at one point." He saw that she was about to speak but cut her off. "But I know nothing came of me having a crush on her." That seemed to calm his girlfriend down.

He turned toward Kevin and Lance and got up. "I want to surprise him." Was all he said as he got into position to shoot.

Austin, Kevin, and Lance shared a look, but decided to leave it alone for the moment. They watched Reid shoot for a few minutes.

Kevin walked up to Reid and grabbed his hands. He was right beside him seeing what Reid saw. "Ok, I'm going to guide your hands into the position that they need to be in. Lance will be helping you angling your body the way it needs to be.

They worked with him for over an hour before they both felt comfortable that he could shoot without their help any more. They watched as their friend started to shoot without guidance from them.

Reid knew that he wasn't as good as Hotch, nor would he ever be, but he had improved greatly with their help.

That night he went to bed thinking of the memories he got that day. He had a dream of the 'tech goddess's voice again. Only this time he was hearing it over a cell phone. She had said something witty, like she always did in his dreams, but he had cut her off "Garcia!"

That was when he woke up. He jumped out of bed and raced toward Austin's room. "Austin! Oh my god, Austin. He practically yelled as he jumped on her bed.

"That's the tech goddess's name. Garcia!" At that Austin was wide awake.

"Are you sure?" She asked getting out of the bed.

Austin had never seen her boyfriend's eyes light up so bright before. It made her happy to see him like this, but it made her a little sad. If this woman made him this happy just by thinking about her, how would be like when he actually saw he in the flesh.

"Yes, and I know where she works at." But before he could tell her, the phone rang.

Austin grabbed the phone and smiled. "Hold on Amy, I'm putting you on speaker." She set down the phone and pressed a button so that Reid could hear what the young cop had to say. "I found the guy. His name is Derek Morgan. He's a FBI agent in the BAU at Quantico under Agent Aaron Hotchner." Not one of them could stop smiling. "I have to go, tell me what you find when you meet him, ok?"

"Don't worry; you'll be the first we tell. Thank you Amy, I owe you one." Austin said still smiling. She turned toward the man she loved and saw the look on his face. "What are you thinking?" She asked cautiously. Whenever he had that look on his face, it meant that he was up to something.

"You know I think I need to make sure that these people are the same one's that I'm thinking of." He said as his smile got bigger.

Austin couldn't help but laugh. "You are absolutely right. But how are we going to do that exactly?"

"Well, I remember who is all on the team." He said telling her everything he remembered about the team. Once he started to talk about them memories started to surface. He told her about Elle and how she left, about Emily joining the team. He told her about Gideon and Rossi. He told her about his mother being a schizophrenic.

That was the one thing he was a little scared of telling her. He knew that she wouldn't be scared or leave him because of it, but the fear of her doing it made it hard to tell. He also told her about Hankel and what he had done to him. He even told her about his drug abuse. That was the only part of his past really that he wished he didn't remember. By the end of the morning they knew what they were going to do.

While Austin called Kevin and Lance to get them to get them in on it, Reid called the chief to see if he could spare a few of his men. Reid knew which ones he wanted, but he knew that he might not be able to get them. It surprised him a little that the chief gave the ok for him to use them; it even surprised him more that he was laughing at the end of their conversation.

Once everyone knew what was going on, the next day Reid and Austin were at a lone payphone. Reid typed in a phone number that he knew would connect him with the people he most wanted to see, and waited for them to pick up.
