Chapter 7

It was well after noon by the time Reid started to stir. He opened his eyes and felt Morgan's arms safely around him. Reid felt the afternoon sunlight on his face and he ate up the warmth it offered. It had been so long since he had felt this good when he woke up. Yes his body was in pain and he could very much feel it, but he felt safe and loved. That truly was the best medicine when dealing with a sore body. Reid rolled over being very careful of his injuries and curled into Morgan's chest. He felt Morgan smile on top of his head.

"Morning pretty boy."

"It's actually the afternoon, but hello to you to."

"I could get used to waking up like this."

"It does have a certain appeal to it. I don't want to move."

"Never said you had to. In fact I encourage you not to."

"Tell that to my bladder." Reid joked

"Okay that will eventually become a problem. I'll give ya that. You're on bed rest so bathroom and then back to bed mister."

"I have work to do today."

"I know, but you can do research from bed with my laptop. We can look around today and see if we can find you a lab you can use in the next day or so."

"I'll need a lab to create the heroin. Hopefully I can come up with a new and better product."

"I'm sure that genius brain of yours will. I should call Hotch and see how they are making out."

"You should call Garcia to and see how she made out with the names and the virus."

"Ya I can do that. You don't want to talk to her?"

"You always call Garcia. If she wants to talk to me afterwards then of course I will. I'll leave the BAU business to you."

"You are the BAU Spencer."

"I haven't been for a long time Derek. I just don't understand why John didn't defend me."

"John?"

"The Director he's the closest thing I have to a sponsor. I just can't imagine he would have been alright with Strauss firing me over going to a meeting."

"Does he go to them as well?"

"He does all the time."

"Maybe Hotch is right. Maybe something really is going on within the bureau."

"I hope so. I know it sounds stupid, but him not even defending me I feel a little betrayed."

"That's not stupid. He's your sponsor. Out of everyone he knows more about your drug use then anyone does. You have every right to feel betrayed. Hotch will get to the bottom of this you know that. He hasn't stopped fighting for you to be back on this team since the day you left. Hotch will figure out all the politics don't worry. What you need to worry about is getting this operation over with so you can focus on getting better."

"That's all I can focus on right now. I just want to be back home and far away from all of this. I'm never coming back to this city ever again."

"Not even to visit your mom?"

Morgan lightly joked. What Morgan didn't expect was the quietness from Reid. Morgan couldn't see Reid's face, but he knew that he had struck the wrong cord.

"Baby did something happen with your mom?"

"She um… she developed dementia roughly six months ago. When I got here I started calling once a week. The doctor said it had been coming on for a while. It's not common to develop dementia with a mental illness, but it can happen. Four months ago I stopped calling, because she didn't know who I was. Every time I called she would go into an episode and the doctor suggested that I stop calling. Her doctor told me that he would call when she was having a clear day and she knew who I was. She ripped up all the letters I sent her over the years even. So I haven't spoken or written to her in four months now."

Morgan held Reid closer to his chest.

"Oh pretty boy I'm so sorry. I can't imagine what you are going through right now. If my momma ever forgot who I was, I wouldn't know what to do."

"It's so hard. Growing up she was there, but she really wasn't and now she doesn't even know who I am. I don't know what to do or how I even feel about it. It's not her fault for being sick, but ever since my dad left it always felt like I was an orphan. I did everything I could for her and now she doesn't even remember any of it."

"I'm so sorry baby. I wish I could take this pain away from you."

"It's okay. We should get up and get to work."

Morgan knew by the conversation change that Reid didn't want to talk about this anymore. Morgan knew that he really should get up and start making some calls. He should check in with both Hotch and Garcia and see how they were making out.

"You're right pretty boy. Why don't you take the bathroom first and I'll call Garcia and see how she is making out."

"Okay. I'm going to shower if that's okay with you."

"Sure go for it. I'm going to make some calls and then when you get out how do you feel about some food."

"As long as it's something simple I don't eat much anymore."

"Because of the heroin?"

"That and from the exhaustion and pain."

"How often does Rosco hurt you?"

"He doesn't do it that often. Its only when I go against his rules. When I do he goes overboard like this time. It's mostly his friends that get too physical with me. They have a bad day or they're bored they'll hurt me. It's just how it is."

"I can't wait until we arrest these bastards. Get you home where you belong."

"That's the only thought that gets me through this."

Morgan pulled Reid closer to his chest and placed a kiss on the top of his head. Morgan hated that Reid was going through this and he hated that he couldn't put a stop to this right away. All he could do was get these bastards in jail so he could get Reid home where he belonged.

"Alright you get that sexy ass of yours in the shower before I change my mind and come join you." Morgan said with a smirk.

"We have work to do. Fun can come later."

Reid said as he got out of bed and was still naked from last night so Morgan got a good view of his ass. Morgan felt himself getting hard just looking at Reid.

"Tease." Morgan smirked

"Later."

"How does fries sound to your stomach?"

Reid was just about to close the bathroom door when he answered Morgan.

"Sounds good"

Reid closed the bathroom door so he could go to the washroom and shower. Morgan laid there and thought for a second about masturbating, but he knew he had to get to work. Reid was right the fun could come later and Morgan planned on taking full advantage of that. Morgan got up and went to get dressed. Once he was dressed he picked up his phone to call Garcia before he called Hotch.

"Holder of all knowledge."

"Hey baby girl tell me you got something for me."

"So I ran those three names for you and Mark turned up completely clean. He's never been arrested only a few speeding tickets. Daniel and Nathan are a bit more interesting. They are actually brothers. Daniel and Nathan Taylor have lived in the Sin City their whole life. Daniel is thirty-three and Nathan is thirty-one. Both of their parents are dead. Mother was killed by their father, but it was never proven in court so he was found not guilty. The boys were awarded back into their father's custody when they were twelve and fourteen. After that they had been in and out of the hospital with injuries. Doctors believed they were being abused, but they were also in contact sports so child services couldn't get anything to stick. Their father died from alcohol poisoning a month before the first body turned up."

"That could be the stressor. Any prior arrests?"

"Both Daniel and Nathan have been arrested. Daniel has been arrested for aggravated assault, and pepping into women's windows. Nathan has been arrested for harassment and domestic violence against Daniel."

"Angry boys."

"Very angry. I don't know what you have going on for that profile of yours, but either one of these boys could have done it."

"Or both. I'll call Hotch and let him know. Did you get anything for that virus done?"

"I pulled an all-nighter and got it all set and ready to go. All I need is the banking information and when my G-man is ready I'll unleash the beast."

"Good it shouldn't be that much longer hopefully. Where is the money going?"

"I set up a fake bank account. So when I unleash my little friend it will drain all of the money in the accounts and transfer it to my false account. That will still allow the courts to use the money as evidence, but no one in the cartel will have access to it. They will be completely broke."

"Good, Reid just has to come up with a new formula for the heroin. Once he does that then we are going to try and get everyone together for the arrests. Once they are arrested then you can do your thang."

"I'll be ready when you are. I just need those numbers from our boy genius."

"I'll see if he has them. If he does then we'll send em over to you."

"Good. How is my boy genius?"

"He's a… he'll be okay once we get him back home. He's with me right now so he is safe."

"Is he hurt?"

"He's a little bit injured, but he'll be back to his old self before you know it. Once we get him back home we can take care of him and get him healthy again."

"Hotch asked me to look into how Reid got into the agency. The Director, John had been getting emails for close to a year asking for Reid to be transferred to them. Each time the Director refused to give Reid up and he even stopped replying to the emails. That was three months before Reid was fired."

"So the Director knew about the agency looking to get Reid to join, but he refused to let Reid go. So that goes with what Reid was thinking; that the Director didn't have a choice in this matter. Maybe he is being blackmailed into doing this? Reid did say that the Director was his sponsor."

"After Reid was fired the Director started to send emails back to the agency. He wanted answers as to why Reid was being fired. He kept asking them to reconsider and asking who they get to do this. As far as I can tell it wasn't the Director that was being blackmailed, but I think someone was being blackmailed. The Director has tried to get Reid back into the FBI even if it isn't the BAU."

"Okay so check Strauss' emails and see if she was being blackmailed for something. We need to figure out how all this happened so we can get Reid back into the BAU."

"Will do. I heard Reid had a little smack down with Dr. Brown."

"He did and it was awesome to watch. It's not often Reid stands up for himself, but when he does it it's always fun to watch. Brown didn't even know what to say to Reid. Reid completely exposed him for what he truly is."

"Which apparently is barely a doctor. I wish I was there to see it. How are you making out with the undercover work?"

"It's easy and boring standing around the bar all night, but if it helps keep Reid safe then I'm all for it."

"Ya, you and Reid getting all comfy cozy."

"I don't know what you're talking about baby girl." Morgan said with a smirk

"Ya like I don't know that you two have been sleeping together. You work with the best profilers in the world Derek. Do you really think they don't know?"

"I'm sure they know, but like always no one says anything. That whole no profiling each other rule never seems to work."

"You can't stop a profiler's mind hot stuff."

"No you really can't."

"Give Reid my love and bring him home safe."

"I will baby girl."

"Good. I want dirty naughty pictures to."

"Goodbye baby girl"

Morgan said with a smile as he hung up his cell phone. He needed to call Hotch next and let him know what Garcia had found. Morgan could hear the shower still going in the bathroom so he dialed Hotch's number.

"Hotchner"

"Hey Hotch. I just got off the phone with Garcia she has those names for us."

"What did she find?"

"Mark is clean, he's never been arrested chances are he doesn't even know who Rosco is."

"So he's not the UnSub"

"Daniel and Nathan though, is a different story. They're brothers. Their father killed their mother when they were just kids and their father got away with it. When they were barely teenagers they were awarded back to their father who abused them. They played sports though so their father was able to convince social services that they were injured playing sports and not him. He died a month before the first victim showed up. Both Daniel and Nathan have a criminal record with violence."

"They could be doing this together then."

"They might be. What do you want me to do?"

"We can't wait around for when Reid is ready with the formula. We can't have them kill anyone else. I'll get a warrant for their homes and their arrests. Do you know if they are supposed to work tonight?"

"No they don't work tonight. How are you going to arrest them without Rosco getting suspicious of me?"

"I'm not sure yet. We can work that out once the warrants have come through. Reid might have an idea for that. What else did Garcia say?"

"Just that she has the virus all set and ready to go for whenever Reid is."

"Alright talk to Reid and see when he wants to do that part. I think it still would be best to get Reid to create the formula so we can arrest the whole cartel. For now until you have to work, help Reid with the formula. I'll see about getting Reid a lab somewhere that he can make the heroin."

"Hopefully it won't take him long to come up with the new heroin."

"Help any way you can and knowing Reid it won't take very long for him to figure this out."

"Garcia said that based on the emails she thinks the agency was blackmailing someone in the bureau, but it was the Director."

"Who else is she looking at now?"

"I told her to look at Strauss' emails and see if it was her."

"Keep me posted."

"Will do"

Morgan hung up the phone and decided to finish getting dressed and wait for Reid to finish in the bathroom. Morgan figured that Reid would need to do a hit while he was in there to help his body correct itself. What Morgan really wanted to do was go in there and join him in the shower. After another twenty minutes Reid came out of the bathroom. Morgan could tell that he was high, but he wasn't too high to the point where he couldn't focus. He was wearing a pair of light faded ripped style jeans that fit tight against his ass and a black t-shirt. Morgan couldn't believe how amazing Reid looked in those jeans. Reid came over to the bed and sat down on it.

"How are you feeling? Any pain?"

"I'm sore and still hurting, but it'll get better. How are you feeling?"

"I'm good"

"And?"

"And horny as hell."

Reid let a small chuckle come out of his mouth.

"It's your fault. Those jeans just make your ass look so good."

"We have work to do or I should say I have work to do."

"Yes you do." Morgan got up off the bed and headed over to his bag so he could pull out his laptop. He went back over to the bed and handed it to Reid so he could start to do some research on the heroin. Morgan knew that this was going to be a long day for him. He was horny and watching Reid work and in those jeans it was just making it worse and worse.

"Garcia needs those bank account numbers from you. She said her virus is all ready to go for whenever you are ready."

"Good I'll send her an email with the numbers then. Did she say anything about Daniel or Nathan?"

"She did. Did you know they were brothers?"

"No I've never spoken to them on a personal level."

"Their father was abusive and killed their mother. He was never charged with anything though and when they were young teenagers they went back into his custody. They were abused, but again nothing ever stuck. He died a month before the first victim showed up. They both have a record with violent crimes so they seem like they are working in a team."

"It makes sense. Daniel watches them and then Nathan follows them home."

"Did you ever have any problems with Daniel or Nathan?"

Reid looked down at the laptop and started to type away on it. Morgan had seen Reid type before at work and it always surprised him how fast Reid could type. Reid hated technology and yet he had a doctorate in engineering. Morgan also knew that by Reid not answering the question something must have happened.

"Spencer, something did happen between you and them."

"It's nothing."

"It's obviously something."

"I don't want to talk about it."

"I think you need to talk about it."

Morgan sat down at the end of the bed so he could look right at Reid.

"Tell me what happened baby."

Reid kept looking at the laptop for a few minutes longer obviously reading something on there. Reid didn't look up from the laptop as he spoke.

"It was three months into this operation. Rosco had me stay at the bar while he was out working on some meeting or deal. I never really did find out what he was doing that night. He had Daniel and Nathan stay behind to keep an eye on me and make sure I didn't run away. It was after the bar was closed and all I wanted to do was just get some sleep. I was in pretty deep with the heroin I had no strength to fight anyone off. I had barely slept and eaten in the past three months. I was reaching my breaking point. They wanted to have sex, a threesome, but I didn't want to. I told them to go to hell that it wasn't going to happen. I even told them that I belonged to Mr. Rosco that they would be stupid to try anything. They didn't listen, besides they knew that Rosco didn't care. They came at me and I just kept moving away, but I reached the bar top and I couldn't go anywhere. Daniel stabbed me on my left side of my stomach. It wasn't a big knife, but it was enough to get me distracted and to cause pain. They did what they wanted and then left me bleeding on the floor. The heroin makes a person's blood thinner so even though it was a small knife I bled a lot. Rosco came back probably three hours later. He just looked at me and told Daniel and Nathan to get me to his doctor. That next time they wanted something to not damage the merchandise in the process. They took me to Rosco's doctor, which was actually a vet. He stitched me up and shot me up with enough heroin to knock me out for two days. When I woke up finally I was back at Rosco's house and he was inside me. When I woke up the first thing he said to me was that even unconscious I still had to please him. I almost bled to death in that bar and then I almost ODed right afterwards. That was when I realised I had to stop. So I started to fake the dosages and hide the withdrawals. I couldn't wait around for someone to show up and help me; I had to get this operation done to be free."

"Baby why didn't you tell me?"

Morgan couldn't believe what he had just heard. He wanted to go and kill Daniel and Nathan for what they did to Reid. He couldn't wait to arrest those bastards. Reid looked at Morgan as he spoke.

"A lot has happened in the past six months that I can't talk about. I didn't want you to get ahead of what you thought about Daniel and Nathan. If they were the UnSubs then you needed to be sure of that for the right reasons. I didn't want your judgement clouded at all. Derek there will be things that I don't tell you and it's not because I don't trust you. It's because I can't physically talk about it. I hope you can understand that."

"After Buford there was a lot I never thought I would be able to talk about and for the longest time I couldn't. The words just wouldn't come out. So believe me when I say that I understand what you are going through. One day you might be able to talk about what happened and if that day comes I'll always be there for you. Hotch wants to get a warrant for Nathan and Daniel to search their homes and arrest them. He's worried though that it might look like one of us spoke to the police to get them arrested. Any ideas how we go about doing this? Hotch doesn't want to wait that long in case another body turns up."

"There's no cameras outside. Daniel and Nathan both smoke so I think you should tell Rosco that you think it's them. You should tell Rosco that you were outside checking the perimeter when you over heard them arguing about the FBI closing in on them. Play it off like they were talking about robbing people so Rosco doesn't think you know more than he told you. That way when they get arrested by the FBI it won't be a surprise to Rosco. They don't work tonight so have Hotch arrest them tonight. With them off the street that will at least eliminate one case."

"Alright I'll give him a call and let him know the plan. Did you find any research yet?"

"I'm looking. This type of information isn't exactly in a book so I have no choice, but to do it this way. I hate these things."

"You have a doctorate in engineering. How do you hate technology?"

"I don't hate technology. I just hate that the internet is removing books. I prefer paper over the internet. Mainly for the reason that I can read faster with paper then I can off this screen."

"Ah that makes sense. In the time it takes you to read a page and flip it in a book it's nothing. On the internet you have to wait for it to load a new page."

"Exactly and engineering means I can build the computer; it doesn't mean I like the thing."

"We have six hours before he have to be at work do you think you'll be needing a lab today?"

"By the time I get the research and the chemicals there won't be much of a point. Tomorrow during the day I might be able to sneak out and get to a lab."

"You have to be careful with the sneaking out babe."

"I know Rosco is usually gone during the day or is asleep. I can leave him a note saying that I had to take care of something. If it comes down to it I'll tell him that Michael has me working a special project for him. He won't be able to argue that."

"Just be careful. I don't like this Michael character."

"I will be. You should call Hotch and let him know about the plan."

Morgan gave a nod and went to call Hotch while Reid was doing research on the laptop. They had spent the remainder of the day together. Reid had found which chemicals go into the heroin and then he started to work out a formula and which chemicals would be better. It took him a good portion of the day just to create a new formula. By the time he had it done it was time for them to get ready to go back to work. Hotch was going to wait until late this evening before they went to Daniel's and Nathan's house. He wanted to make sure he gave Morgan enough time to speak to Rosco about what they had planned. Morgan and Reid drove to the bar together and acted like they had just spent the night screwing each other. Morgan had a role to play and he couldn't let that slip. They walked into the back room and noticed that Rosco wasn't there yet. Reid went about his normal routine and Morgan went out into the bar to do his job. The bar was busy and Morgan ended up having to keep track of the customers and lost track of where Reid was. At one point he saw Rosco come in with two other men, but it was too busy for him to go and talk to him. It wasn't until one in the morning did it finally quiet down enough for Morgan to go into the back room and talk to Rosco. He was also hoping that Reid was in the back as well. What he wasn't prepared for was to walk in to Reid on the couch being fucked by one man and sucking the other man's dick while Rosco sat there across the room and watched.

Morgan didn't know what to do when he walked into the room and saw this. He knew he couldn't let his face fall, but it was hard. He looked at Reid and he was blindfolded. Morgan could tell that Reid was in pain he could also see the red coming down his thighs. They had been at this for a while and based on the blood the man doing the fucking was being very rough.

"Ah Derek what can I do for you?"

"You certainly run an interesting bar."

"What that. That's just some entertainment. There is a new drug out on the market that I wanted to try out, but I didn't want to do it in case something went wrong. This drug allows a man to stay hard even after he has cummed for hours and hours. So far they have been doing this for two and a half hours and both are still just as hard as they were when they started. When they are finally finished; I think tonight I'll be taking that drug and having some of my own fun with my little whore."

"Didn't know you were into drugs."

"Nothing illegal. What can I do for you Derek?"

Morgan did everything he could to keep his eyes on Rosco and not on Reid who was whimpering in pain. He could hear both men hitting Reid as they abused him. Morgan knew that this was one of the times that Reid was not a willing participant.

"I have some of that information you were looking for."

"Oh good. What did you find out?"

"Well Mark is clean as a whistle, but Daniel and Nathan are some bad boys. Did you know they were brothers?"

"Of course I did."

"Well last night as we were leaving I over-heard them talking to each other. Daniel was pissed by the sounds of it. He kept saying how the FBI were closing in on them, that they had to be more careful. Apparently you are not the only one that they are stealing from."

"The FBI eh? Apparently they have been busier then I originally thought. If the FBI are close to arresting them, then I might just wait for them to take care of it. Thank you Derek for looking into this. Did you enjoy last night?"

"Fucking right I did. Maybe one day you'll let me do it again."

"I'll keep it in mind. You better get back out there."

"Yes boss"

Morgan took one last look at Reid as he let out a cry of pain. It took everything in Morgan not to go over there and kill everyone in the room. He wanted to protect Reid, but he knew he couldn't without blowing this case and Reid was not going to go through all of this for nothing. Morgan walked out and back into the bar. He couldn't get his mind to stop thinking about what he just witnessed. What pissed him off the most was the fact that he couldn't stop it from happening. There was nothing he could do, Rosco made it perfectly clear that Reid was going home with him that night. Reid was injured he could see the blood going down Reid's thighs and Rosco was just going to make that worse. When it was time to close up and head on out Reid had yet to come out of the back room. Rosco and his two friends were still back there as well and Morgan was praying that they still weren't going at it. Morgan knew that he couldn't just wait around for Reid, it would look too suspicious. Morgan had no choice, but to leave and go back to the hotel. He had to work tomorrow night again and he was hoping he would be able to see Reid tomorrow night. Morgan knew there was no way he was going to be able to sleep tonight. Morgan drove back to the hotel and sent Hotch a quick text asking if he was still up. Morgan got a text back saying that he was. Morgan needed to talk to someone about what he was feeling. Hotch wasn't really the best option, but it was the one that Morgan thought would understand. Hotch knew how it felt to watch someone you love get hurt and not be able to do anything to stop it. Hotch was also like the father figure in the team and he saw Reid as another son. It would be hard for Hotch to hear any of this, but he would be upset with Morgan for not telling him. Morgan pulled into the hotel parking lot and headed straight for Hotch's room. Hotch answered the door in his dress pants and a white button down shirt. His tie was removed and his sleeves were rolled up, Morgan could see the exhaustion on his face and Morgan knew that Hotch had barely slept last night. Morgan went inside so they could speak in private. Once inside Hotch could tell that Morgan was upset about something that happened. Morgan didn't stand still he just kept pacing around. Hotch went and leaned against the wall just waiting for Morgan to start speaking.

"I don't know if I can do this much longer. Hotch man, I almost killed three people tonight and the only reason I didn't was, because Reid would be pissed at me. If all of this turns out to be for nothing Reid will never forgive himself and the person for blowing it."

"What happened tonight?"

"We got to the bar and everything was fine. It got busy though, and Rosco hadn't come in early. So as the night went on I had to focus on what I was doing I couldn't sneak away to find Rosco. Around ten, ten-thirty I lost Reid, he kept blending into the crowd trying to take orders. It wasn't until one when I finally was able to get away from everything. I went into the back room to see if Rosco was there. Rosco was sitting in a chair opposite of the couch. On the couch was Reid and two of Rosco's friends were raping him. He was blindfolded so he didn't see me, but he heard me talking to Rosco. I wanted to leave, but Rosco just acted like it was an everyday thing. Rosco had said that they were trying out this new drug that makes it so a guy can go for hours with a hard on. They had been at it for two and a half hours already. You could tell he was in so much pain. His body was shaking and he was bleeding. They kept hitting him while they were doing it. Rosco said that when they were finished that he was going to take the drug to so he could play all night with his whore. He was in so much pain and it's only going to get worse. I couldn't do anything to stop it. I had to act like I didn't care. I couldn't blow my cover, because if I did then everything Reid has gone through in the past six months would be for nothing. I don't even know if he's going to be okay. Rosco doesn't care. Hotch what if he dies tonight? It wouldn't be the first time someone has died from being raped. He didn't want it. You could tell that he didn't want it. The heroin has made his body so weak he couldn't fight them off. They were my size and he's barely a hundred pounds right now. He didn't stand a chance against them and there's Rosco sitting there just watching."

Morgan let out a yell in frustration. Hotch could see how much this was torturing Morgan. It was no secret that the two loved each other.

"Morgan calm down. I know it's hard, but you can't wake the whole place up. I'm sorry you had to see that. There really isn't anything I could say to make this better for you or for Reid. I wish there was something I could do, but you're right Reid would be furious with us if we pulled him out. If all of this was for nothing he wouldn't be able to handle that. That doesn't mean we can't help him get this done with faster. We caught Daniel and Nathan. Both are going to jail for these murders. I've sent JJ, Brown and Prentiss back home. Rossi, you and I are staying here to help Reid with this case. You said Reid had the formula figured out correct?"

"Ya he did that today."

"By the sounds of it Reid won't be in any condition to sit around a lab all day. Do you have a copy of the formula?"

"It's on my laptop"

"Then tomorrow the three of us will take that to a lab and have them produce it. You can hand it to Reid when you see him at work next. All we need is for Michael to think he has a new and better product. We can give him that. Once we get them all together then we can make the arrests and Garcia can deliver the virus. By the end of this week we could be back home."

"We need to wrap this up. Reid can't take anymore. What lab are we doing this in?"

"Rossi suggested that we should go to Reid's old university. Reid attended LVU before he turned eighteen. He was focusing on his chemistry degree there. The same professor that taught Reid is still employed there. He might be willing to help us create this formula knowing it's for Reid."

"Can we trust him?"

"I had Garcia run his name. He has no criminal record and on numerous occasions he's defended Reid when he was in school. In one article he said that Reid was the brightest mind that this century will ever see. I think if we explain to him what is going on that he will be more than willing to help close this investigation."

"Alright so what time are we doing this tomorrow?"

"Garcia ran his schedule he is free from ten until one. We can meet downstairs at nine thirty and then head over. He should have all the chemicals there."

"Ya Reid said that the chemicals are basic and anyone can buy them if they wanted to. I'm sure he has them and more in the lab."

"The sooner we have a product then the sooner we can trap the cartel and end this. Go get some sleep and I'll see you downstairs in the morning."

"No offense, but between the two of us you're the one that looks like shit."

"Some of us didn't sleep until noon. Besides I'll sleep when Reid is home safe."

"Me to. Try and get some sleep though, so you're not dead on your feet tomorrow. I'll see you in the morning."

"Good night"

Morgan left Hotch's room and made his way over to his own. Morgan knew that he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight. He was too worried about Reid. Morgan spent the night pacing around the room and lying down on the bed trying to will sleep to him. It didn't work and nine o'clock came all too fast for him. He had to work tonight and all Morgan could do was hope that Reid would be there and that he was alright. Morgan knew that Reid would be hurt from being raped for so long, but he was hoping he didn't have any more injuries then he already had. Reid was in enough pain and Morgan didn't want him doing more heroin than he was supposed to just so he could deal with the pain. Morgan knew Reid was strong, but he didn't know how much more mental abuse Reid could take before he snapped. Morgan got showered and dressed for the day before he went downstairs to find a cup of coffee. Once Hotch and Rossi was there they headed over to LVU to meet up with Reid's old professor.
