Reid/OC
Chapter Ten
Spencer watched from the door as Lisa hugged the bear close to her. She rubbed her chest in pain and wiped a few tears away. It broke his heart how much pain she was in. He knocked to show his presence and moved to the chair next to her bed.
" Don't you ever sleep?" She asked, her voice sounding weak.
"It's hard to sleep knowing when your best friend is in the hospital." he admitted. She looked at him and held serious. Her chest felt a little less painful and her heart felt a little more smiled and took his hand.
She knew she wasn't being fair to Spencer. Here he was, being the kindest man and she was hiding everything from him. She couldn't take it anymore.
"Could you lock the door. there's something I have to tell you…" she asked. He gave her a questioning look. "Don't worry, i'm not gonna take advantage of you. I just don't want anyone to interrupt." she added. So Spencer got up and locked the door and returned to his seat.
"What do you have to talk about?" he asked with concern.
Lisa took a breath and rubbed her chest again as she felt it tighten.
"My secrets…I feel like I owe you an explanation."
He shook his head. "No, You don't have to do this now. You shouldn't stress yourself more then you should."
" Just please, listen to what i've got to say. You said i'm your best friend…so best friends shouldn't have secrets."
She closed her eyes and searched for the memory that was buried deep inside.
Flashback
Lisa walked hand in hand with her mother. She was wearing her cat ear hat and running down the playground away from her mother. Her twin sister was close to mom as Lisa moved far into the playground. She was playing on the jungle gym climbing through tunnels and sliding down the slide. She noticed a man go behind her mother and place a gun to her back. Laura, her twin realized their mother was in danger and ran to her. Lisa hid underneath the play set so the man couldn't see her. Suddenly, Two loud bangs echoed through the playground and Lisa held a scream.
" Did the police know who did it?" Spencer asked as she fogged back into reality. She shook her head. "They never caught him. I was all alone. My Aunt took me in. I said my family was big, so I had moved from one Aunt and Uncle to another. I didn't mean to lie, I just never wanted to talk like They were gone."
"How old were you?" Spencer asked.
"Thirteen. Laura and I just had a birthday. Mom made me the hat and Made Laura the scarf."
"What about your dad?"
"Never met him. But my mother had a friend in the FBI. He helped me get through College. Earn my degree, Pushed me through Police training and evidently get me into the BAU. The one who told me about Spencer The Magician…"
It took a minute to realize who else knew Spencer in the BAU and it hit him like a ton of bricks. "Gideon?"
"Yeah. Gideon." she breathed as she felt the tension build in her chest again.
" When was the last time you talked to him?" he asked and stood next to her fave, a little fury was expressed in his voice.
"Months ago. He said he was taking some to find himself again." She said and shook from the sudden change in his mood.
It was then that Spencer knew Gideon really stopped everything. He stopped working at the BAU and stopped talking to the people that care most about him.
He noticed Lisa moan in pain and he took back his seat. She struggled to get a deep breath and grasped Spencer's hand through the pain.
"Since we are talking about secrets… I have one too."
She closed her eyes in pain but then turned her head to him and her blue eyes dazzled him through her thick lenses.
" I was kidnapped by an unsub who was skitzophrenic. Had three different personalities. Tobias…he was troubled, but the only way he got through it was with Dilaudid. He thought it would help me… Long story short… When I got out of there I was addicted. I wanted nothing more then to slip away into the abyss. But I couldn't, I didn't want to lose myself…and Gideon was the only one who knew about it. Helped me though it." he admitted.
She smiled and nodded. "Gideon always knew how to save people. So think of this as him trying to save himself for a change."
He smiled and nodded.
"Thank you for trusting me with your secrets." she added and closed her eyes.
He released her hand and moved to unlock the door knowing someone would need to come in soon. Her breath became even and he knew she was sleeping. So he bent down and gave her a small kiss on the forehead. Her lips were lightly pink and much to Spencer looked soft. He knew it was wrong but he couldn't help himself and gently kissed her lips realizing they were as silk.
The night rolled in and Penelope came in. Lisa stayed asleep and Penelope sat in the chair working on a blanket for Henry. Spencer played a game of solitaire. Lisa stirred in her sleep, and moaned in pain. The doctors began to limit her pain medication said she would start to feel discomfort.
"How long till they give her the meeds?"
He checked her chart and sharply exhaled. " Three hours. Why are they limiting her so early? She still needs to heal."
Penelope shook her head. "This girl does not deserve to stay in pain. She's been through enough."
Another hour went by and Lisa looked progressively worse.
"She doesn't look good. I think I should get a doctor." Penelope said, looking to Reid to agree.
He looked at her and noticed her face was pale and balmy.
Suddenly a Noise scared them both out of the Blue.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
"Spencer?" He looked at the monitors and realized her insulin pump read fourty-four Then realized her sugar saline was empty.
"Get someone quick. She needs sugar saline replaced and admitted right now." he yelled. Garcia ran like a crazy girl down the hall as Reid tried vigorously to wake Lisa.
"Lisa, You need to wake up, come on." he urged her, but she wasn't moving. He quickly searched through Garcia's bag for anything sweet. He couldn't be more happy when he found a pixie stick. Pure sugar! He checked the pump again to read thirty nine. He had to sat on the edge next to her. He opened her mouth and placed the sugar in-between her cheeks.
"Come on Lisa. You need to wake up." He shook her and tried again placing one of his hands on the back of her neck and the other one caressing her face. "Wake up sleeping beauty, please."
The monitor stopped beeping and shot up to eighty one. Lisa moaned and grabbed her head in pain but opened her eyes to see long hair in her site.
"Spencer?" she asked. He let out a big breath just in time for Garcia to return with many nurses.
Hotch came out of Lisa's room to find the team outside.
"What happened?"
" Take a look at this…" Morgan said and handed him a set of charts.
"This afternoon, she received a different doctor…one of which signed a chart for her to get pain meeds every five hours…"
"That's too much timeto wait for someone in her condition." Rossi stated.
"Then look at this. Same doctor Signed saying to change sugar saline every three. Hotch each bag only lasts ninety minutes." Morgan added.
"Where is the doctor who signed?" Hotch asked.
"Right in there. But here is his signature… It's not the same." Morgan replied.
"Someone's forging signatures to make sure she's in danger. We need to get her out of here and fast. Call Strauss..."
Spencer had to speak out.
" Hotch I think it's best we move her into a safe place. It's obvious the unsub is watching her. I think we get her out of here, provide someone with Medical knowledge to monitor her and keep her safe, we should make a distraction to throw off the unsub into our path and away from her's"
"What are you Suggesting Reid?" Rossi asked.
Reid turned back into Lisa's room to see the doctors examining her. The doctor scanned the light back and forth into Lisa's eye and placed a breathing mask back on her face.
" I'm suggesting we create a diversion to keep her safe and away from whoever is doing this." he said.
the team looked at him.
"Alright- your the lead supervisor for this plan. I can get whatever you need, you create the operation and we will follow through." Hotch said.
For once, Spencer wasn't afraid to take charge, it was for his best friend…someone he cares about… someone he could possibly…love?
