It had been three weeks since Spencer was released from the hospital. He was in a boot because of his leg. He would be attending his first day of work since the attack.
He walked into work very tired. He hasn't gotten much sleep. He went to get coffee right away. He added way to much sugar for that extra kick in his system.
"Hey, welcome back, pretty boy. You look like crap." Smirked Morgan. "I should call you ugly boy."
"Whatever," said Reid in a slurred voice.
"Are you okay?" Asked a concerned Morgan.
"I'm fine, just exhausted."
Reid walked back to his desk, sat down, and dozed off. He woke up a few minutes later because of the team talking and hovering over him.
"You were snoring." Taunted Prentiss.
"Shut up, I was not snoring, I was breathing loudly."
"Yeah, sure." Said JJ. "Anyways, we have a case. A ten year old girl was kidnapped. Her parents were murdered, and she doesn't have any living relatives, so when we find her, She will be put in the foster program.
On the plane
"Ten year old Jamie Turnes was kidnapped from her bed at 3 in the morning, shortly after her parents were stabbed to death in their sleep." Said JJ.
At the Philadelphia Police Department
"I'm Agent Hotchner, this is Jennifer Jareau, this is Dr. Spencer Reid, David Ross is, Emily Prentiss, and Derek Morgan." Hotch said as he introduced his team to Officer Malarky.
"Dr. Reid, we just received a letter for you. I was wondering who it was for, them you came." Said the buff officer.
Reid took the letter from the officer and read out loud, " I will make a trade. The girl for Dr. Spencer Reid, so I can finish what I started."
Everyone stared at Reid. He had a fearful look. He set the letter on the table, and left the building. JJ followed him. "Its okay, we will protect you." He is on the verge of tears.
"Will it be okay? Will it!" He shouted.
"Spence. I'm sorry, we will save her, and catch the guy who did this to you."
"You didn't catch the guy last time, so how can you catch him now! This little girl was kidnapped because you guys couldn't find who attacked me!" Everyone was outside and heard what he said to JJ.
They stared at him shocked. A cab drove by, and he stopped it. "Take me to the nearest hotel," he told the driver.
They drove off before anyone could stop him. Reid had finally broken.
One week later
They had not heard from Reid since he left. They had found out who took the little girl. They had
arrested him already. His name was Jim Miller.
They called Reid, but no answer.
"Hey baby girl, I need you to trace where Reid last used his credit card."
"On it my chocolate thunder."
After a few minutes, Garcia said, "He is at the Hotel Motel a block from where you are, I will send you the address. Bye."
Morgan drove to the hotel he was staying at.
He asked to guy at the counter which room Reid was staying at. He said, "Mr. Reid said you would be stopping by soon. He told me to give you this box when you came. He checked out a day ago."
Morgan opened the box, and saw his gun and badge in it, with a letter:
Hello Morgan. I knew you were the one to read this. I can't take this job anymore.
It is ruining my life, and I can't take it. I'm sorry, tell everyone I will miss them, and don't
Bother trying to find me. I am changing my name, moving someplace else, and
Starting a new life. Goodbye and fare well. Tell my mom I went on a very long vacation.
Tell Henry I love him, and I will miss him dearly. Tell everyone I'm sorry.
Sincerely,
Spencer Reid.
Back at the police department
"Did you find him?" Asked Rossi.
"I found this." Said Morgan, handing the box over to the team.
JJ and Emily started to cry after reading the letter. Hotch's jaw was locked, and Rossi was staring ahead.
"We failed him. We couldn't save him. If I would have given him a ride that night, he would still be here," sobbed JJ.
"We will find him, but work is our number one priority. Okay?" Said Hotch with regret.
