I do not own criminal minds.

The next morning Reid was the first to wake up. He looked around trying to figure out where he was. Then last night came back to him making him close his eyes in trying to hold back the tears that wanted to come through.
He carefully maneuvered out of the bed without waking anyone. He looked around the room noticing that someone was missing. This was Hotch's office, so where was he? He looked around and right beside Rossi, Hotch was in a sleeping bag. Even in sleep his boss looked uptight.
He walked out of the office and over to his desk where he had extra bullets. He loaded his gun and decided to walk over to the shooting range.
When he got to the shooting range it looked like it was deserted. He walked over to the first shooter's whole he saw, put on the head set, and got out his gun. He took a deep breath letting it out slowly. And he fired his gun. He fired it four times before he put it down and had the cardboard figure of a man slide over to him.
Each shot had gone to the right where he had shot. Not one had missed the man. In fact they four holes where barely a few centimeters apart. Reid smiled in satisfaction, he had forgotten how wonderful it was to hold a gun and be able to shoot what he was aiming for.
Reid didn't hear anyone come up behind him; he still had his head set on. When he was tapped on the shoulder he didn't think twice. He brought his gun up and had the person trapped against the wall in one smooth motion.
A woman with brown hair was up against the door, her hands up, not speaking but her eyes and the way she was shaking told him that she was scared.
Reid withdrew his gun, looking ashamed at his overreaction. "Sorry." He said not knowing what else to say.
"No, it fine. It was my fault. I shouldn't have snuck up on you." Her shaking had almost stopped. "My name is Julie." She stuck out her hand for Reid to shake.
"I'm Dr. Spencer Reid. Well Reid, you can call me Spencer." He babbled. He didn't really know what to do when he was around women.
"Ok Spencer, how about I make it up to you by buying your breakfast?" She said smiling.
"Oh, I'm sorry I can't. I'm married." Reid told her. He felt like he was cheating on Rebecca just talking to her.
"Oh ok." She said disappointed but trying not to let it show. "Well bye."
Reid started to walk back to the office, but before he had made it to the door he heard someone speak from behind.
"I bet you really loved that huh, Reid." The voice said.
Reid knew who it was before he turned around. That voice had haunted his dreams for years.
In one smooth mourned and he had his gun out to face him and said, "Hello Knight. Long time since I saw you last."
Knight just smirked at Reid. But as suddenly as the smirk appeared it was gone. "I bet you just loved that, didn't you."
"What?" Reid asked confused.
"The girl who was flirting with you," He said jealously. "You did the same thing with Rebecca. And you did it to Lila." He smiled grimly at Reid who kept his gun trained on him. "Well I fixed all that didn't I?"
"What are you talking about? You never met Rebecca until that day at the shooting range." Reid said. He put his hand in his pocket, searching for his phone. He had to call his team to get them down there. He didn't think he could do it himself. He speed dialed Hotch's number knowing that he would have it on him at all time.
"I did meet her. A year before she even knew you existed I knew her. She was mine; she just didn't know it yet." He told the genius. "Then you came along." Knight said in disgust. "I almost had her and you took her away from me." He screamed, spit coming out of his mouth. "But I do have to thank you. You got her away from her fiancée." He told him with a big smile on his face.
"Reid heard Hotch pick up his phone and heard him say "Hello?"
"What was that?" Knight asked. He had heard Hotch as well, but he didn't know where it came from.
"Get on with the story Knight, I want to get out of the shooting range and back to work soon." Reid told him telling Hotch where he was and who was with him.
"Reid, don't worry we'll be there in ten minutes." Hotch told him. Reid started to cough so Knight wouldn't hear Hotch again.
Knight's eyes turned hard. "I knew that the only reason that she could go out with someone like you was to get out of the engagement, and that she would fall for me the instant she saw me. But she turned me down at the shooting range." He started walking back and forth in frustration. "She said that she loved you and would never leave you. But I knew that was a lie. It had to be, because someone like you couldn't have someone like her."
Knight stopped his pacing and faced Reid. "I knew that if I couldn't have her then no one, especially you, would never have her."
"You killed her because she turned you down?" Reid asked in disgust.
"She didn't just turn me down; she turned down the life we were going to have together." He told Reid furiously. "And it was your entire fault."
"I moved away, I met Lila." He said with a small smile. "I got on the staff to be closer to her, but she told me that she was going out with you. So I knew that she had to die. You had tainted her. Then I found where you where, and I decided to play a game instead." He smiled at Reid. "I hope you liked my gifts that I sent you."
Reid couldn't take anymore of his rant. "You're making my family go through hell because two girls turned you down?"
"Oh no, every time a girl turns me down; I know it's because of you." Knight said as he fired his gun at Reid. But Reid was too fast, he dove out of the way just in time firing his gun at the man in front of him. He only had one bullet left. And he could hear Knight walking up to where he was.
Reid raised his gun just as Knight found him kneeling behind a wall. Knight was just about to fire when the door came open and Morgan came rushing in. "Freeze Knight!" He yelled.
Knight took his gun off Reid and aimed it at Morgan. That was when Reid shot his gun at Knight as Knight was pulling back the trigger.
But before Knight could get another shot out his gun went flying out of his hand. Reid had shot him in the hand making the gun fly into the air, dropping to the ground harmless.
Reid got to his feet his eyes cold and his hands steady as he kept the unloaded gun trained on the mad man who had been terrorizing his life for years. As Hotch arrested Knight, Reid's gun fell out of his hand and he fell to the floor. J.J., Morgan, and Emily ran over to him as Danni and Hayley ran into the building.
"What are you two doing here?" Hotch asked looking at his wife.
"Garcia called. She said that Reid was in trouble." She said as hugging him briefly as she flew over to her brother-in-law.
They both hugged him briefly before slapping him upside the head. "What the hell were you thinking?" They both yelled at the same time, before hugging him again.
"Hey, you guys." J.J. said to the room at large. "I just got a call, we have another case."

That's the end of the story. I'm thinking of doing a sequel, not sure what it's going to be about though.
I can't wait for the 23rd. It's almost here. And everyone in a ten mile radius knows that I'm going to be watching it. I have already laid claim over the t.v. my parents are about ready to kill me from talking about it.
