"The greater your capacity to love, the greater your capacity to feel the pain."

Jennifer Aniston

"Spencer?" Alex asks and Spencer sighs in relief as he hears her voice "what is wrong?"

"He took her. The stalker took Maeve." He began, his voice breaking, nearly crying now. "I really need help, please."

"Where are you?" Alex started, her voice filled with concern "can you drive? Do you want me to pick you?" She asks, her oblivious concern for them showing.

"I'm going to the BAU; can you ask everyone to be there? Please?"

"Of course, don't worry Spencer, we'll find her." Alex states, and for once, he believes in that possibility. They'll find her and once they do, whoever is doing this with her will pay for it.

As Spencer arrived at the BAU building, he was glad that everyone was already there, that way they could start soon and solve all this quickly. But most of all, they could help him find Maeve.

"So, Alex told us that a friend of yours is missing?" JJ starts but as she notices how sad and miserable he is looking she quickly goes over to give him a hug.

"She's not just a friend." He began, now sitting on a chair with every other team member in front of him. "She's just so incredible."

"You love her." Hotch says, it's not a question, it's simply clear. Everything about how he is screams that he is in love with this mysterious woman.

Spencer nods, but his next statement breaks them. "Please, I need to find her, I need her."

"Don't worry kid. We will help you, but we need to know everything about her." Morgan answers and Spencer begins to say everything that he learned about her stalker and Maeve, only leaving a few bits that weren't necessary like the personal things they shared over the months. He kept this part a secret because Spencer Reid was never one to talk much about him, and others, and telling them about everything Maeve means to him was already a big enough of a step.

Hotch was quiet during the whole talk, all of this simply reminded him of Haley and how much her death has hurt him. He definitely doesn't want Spencer to go through the same of what he has, he knows that if this girl dies, then Spencer will most likely never be the same again.

"Alright, if you don't have a picture, then I'll search and you tell me if it's her, okay?" Penelope said, quickly grabbing her computer and searching for Maeve.

Spencer walks away then, but he isn't followed by anyone, all of them understanding that their youngest member needs some space.

"He really loves that girl." Alex began "I hope they're both strong enough to face this, because neither of them deserves that. You should have seen how happy he was when she called him on the plane and how happy he was this morning as he talked about her, I'd hate to see that end in tragedy and loss."

"Then we find her and get kid and his girl together." Rossi spoke, and the team started on with their work, Garcia searching for Maeve online and the rest went to her house with Spencer.

As Maeve woke once more in that dark room, she saw Diane there, gun in one hand and a cellphone on the other. She stared even more angrily at Maeve, until she dialed a number and made a call, placing the gun on a nearby table and walking to her.

Maeve wonderers who could she call, does she has a partner, perhaps? Or is this a different trick to break her even more?

Diane laughs coldly as she sees the confused look on Maeve's face. She put the phone on speaker and placed her hand on Maeve's mouth.

"Who is it?" A voice asked nervously and Maeve immediately knew who she had called. It was the same voice she had been hearing for months and a voice she finally gave a face a couple days ago.

"Zugzwang." Was all Diane answered before she turned it off and looked once more at Maeve.

Zugzwang. Diane knows quite well what it means, and she knows that both Maeve and Spencer are very familiar with it. It's a clear message. They cannot win, everything that they try will cause them damage and loss.

"I won't let you hurt him." Maeve says "He has nothing to do with this."

"That's wrong, my dear. Dr. Spencer Reid has everything to do with it." Diane answers simply, as if she was talking to a child. "I was okay with just scaring you and making sure that you'd never be smarter than me. But even then you manage to get happy. And as I said earlier, I want what you have. I. Want. Him. To. See. You. Suffer"

"Don't do this." Maeve pleads, knowing that Diane would kill him in a heartbeat if he doesn't play with her.

Maeve wonders how far Spencer would go to protect her. Would he play Diane's sick game? She knows that this is a strategy they use often, playing the game of the enemy, letting him think he'll win so that they can catch him. But she knows that it will be hard for him to do that, knowing that Diane is Maeve's stalker and kidnapper.

Spencer loves her, she knows that. And she loves him, more than her own life. Maeve then makes a promise to herself.

She will never let Spencer Reid die for her, as she knows he would.

The minute Spencer received that call he knew that his fear is a reality. This person has Maeve and knows about them. And worse of all, has no fear of hurting her.

"Zugzwang." He can still hear it in his head, the anger and the control this person has.

"It's going to be okay, Reid." Morgan spoke; they were outside of her house now, not entering yet because of the call.

"How can you be so sure?" Spencer asks.

"Because I know you, kid. And you won't give up, will you?" Derek answers him with a reassuring smile, as they walk inside Maeve's house.

"No, never." He answers truthfully "I wouldn't give up on her."
