(Reid's point of view)

The BAU's latest case was in Fort Polk, Louisiana. The case involved an Unsub who was using fire in different ways to torture and kills his victims. All of the victims were army wives. Their solider husbands were all over seas.

Our belief was that the Unsub was a former solider. More than likely he had been burnt during his time at war. His wife had probably left him for another man. This is what has set the former solider off.

I had noticed JJ has seemed quiet. As the morning went on she was dreadfully pale. I noticed Hotch and JJ speaking. A short time later Hotch approach the team lacking JJ's presents.

"JJ isn't feeling well so we will process without her for now." Hotch said.

"Is she okay?" Morgan questioned.

"Yes just a touch of the flu." Hotch answered.

"Should one of us go and checking on her?" Rossi questioned.

"Maybe Alex could go?" Morgan suggested.

"She would probably be more comfortable with one of you." Alex said.

"I could go check on JJ and then report back." I said quickly.

"Sounds like a good idea Kid." Morgan responded smirking at me.

"Okay go check on JJ. If she needs you to stay or if she would rather have Alex there call me." Hotch commanded.

"Yes Sir I will." I promised hurrying off to our hotel.

"JJ it is Spencer." I said as I knocked on her door.

"What are you doing here?" JJ questioned as she opened the door.

"Hotch sent me to check on you." I said looking at her in the cut footed pajamas.

"I'm sick not helpless." JJ said angrily.

"Everyone was just concerned about you." I said noticing her body swaying a bit.

"I just need some sleep." JJ said.

"Let me help you JJ." I said taking her arm.

"I look terrible." She said sniffling.

"You look beautiful as always." I retorted.

"No I don't Spence." She said coughing as she lay back down.

"JJ I am going to go get you some cold medicine." I said.

I returned twenty minutes later. JJ's nose was already really red from blowing it. I got the Nyquil I bought ready. I also warmed up the tea I had bought.

"JJ sit up and take this medicine. It will help you feel better." I said as I helped her up.

"Yuck what was that?" JJ questioned grabbing the tea.

"Nyquil it most closely fit your symptoms." I explained.

"Oh no." JJ said.

"What?" I questioned.

"I've been known to have a bad reaction. Last time I took it I got really hyper. I tried to leave the house. Will couldn't get me to calm down." JJ answered looking worried.

"I am going to call Hotch and let him know I am staying." I said knowing I could not leave her now for sure.

"I'll be fine Spence." JJ said.

"Hotch JJ really is not feeling well. She also has had a reaction to the medicine I gave her before. Therefore I do not think I should leave her." I rambled nervously.

"Yes you should stay with here. Let us know if you or she need anything." Hotch said.

"How is the case going?" I questioned.

"We have a lead. I'll text you later. Right now just worry about JJ." Hotch said before hanging up.

JJ had fallen asleep. I decided to read a book JJ had sitting in the bed side table. It was a book about single parenting. It turned out to be very enlightening.

"Spency whatcha doing?" JJ questioned not sounding like herself.

"Are you alright JJ?" I questioned concerned.

"Why do you always call me that?" She questioned with a pout.

"That is your name. I have always called you that." I said very confused.

"My name is Jennifer. You could call me that or Jen or even Jenny." She said getting off the bed and walking towards me.

"Can we discuss this when you are well again?" I suggested.

"Sure Spency. I hate these panties." JJ said pulling at her pants.

"Excuse me?" I questioned sure I had heard her wrong.

"My panties are ridding up." JJ said.

"Do you um want to change them? I questioned unsure what to say.

"Do you want to help me?" She questioned back making me choke a little.

"That would not be appropriate." I answered a little worried at what she would say or do next.

"I've always thought you were sexy. You know that sexy yet smart. Only guys like you can pull that off." JJ said moving closer to me.

"JJ you need to lie back down." I said.

"Will was not having sex with me. It had been months. Honestly I only cared because I love sex. Though I had to fake a lot with him." JJ said.

"Let me help you." I said hoping she would go back to sleep.

"Spency you are the best you sexy man." JJ said before she started snoring.

I sighed in relief. I called Hotch to check in. The team had already caught the Unsub. Since it was late the team was heading back to the hotel.

Alex was rooming with JJ. When Alex arrived I left. I did warn her that JJ was behaving strangely. Alex promised to call if she or JJ needed me.

When I returned to my room Derek was still awake. I told him some of what happened. I asked his advice on what to do. I was unsure of how much JJ would remember.

Derek suggested I not tell JJ. He said JJ would only be embarrassed. After some teasing Derek and I both fell asleep. I dreamt about JJ. We were making love in my dream and she kept calling me her sexy smart man.

"Thank you for taking care of me Spence." JJ said with a blush at breakfast.

"You are welcome." I responded softly.

"Did I do or say anything strange?" She questioned looking very concerned.

"No not at all." I lied smoothly.

"Oh good." JJ said.

"Are you feeling better?" I questioned concerned.

"Oh yes much better. Thank you." JJ answered.

"I am glad to hear that. By the way that book was a good read." I said.

"What book?" JJ questioned.

"On your bed side table." I answered.

"Oh okay." JJ said blushing again as we boarded the jet.
