Chapter 11

"Dammit Reid." Morgan swore as he read the letter left by Reid in his apartment.

"I am so sorry." Fran apologized. "I thought he was sleeping."

"Ma'am." Hotch addressed Fran. "I am sure it was not your fault."

Morgan walked back and forth in Reid's apartment.

"Morgan, you need to calm down." Emily said.

"How do you expect me to do that, Emily?" Morgan snapped. "His ankle is still sprained, his broken ribs are still healing and above all, he can't focus his eyes when things are too near to him, whenever, he moves out of a sudden, he will feel dizzy, he feels things are moving because of the nystagmus and his eyes are still sensitive to light. So, tell me Emily, how am I suppose to calm down?"

Emily kept quiet, unable to answer Morgan's question and luckily Garcia come to the rescue.

"Okay, hot stuff, we are going out for a walk." Garcia said before she pulled him out of the apartment with her.

"When did you realize that he was missing, Fran?" Rossi asked when Garcia disappeared with Morgan.

"After you guys left," Fran looked at Hotch. "I checked on him, he was still sleeping, so I resumed my work in the kitchen, then I was on the phone with my daughter for some time before I walked back to the living room. I just sneak a look into the room and the bed was empty. I check everywhere and that's when I called Derek."

"Okay, but where would he go? He wouldn't fly to Las Vegas, he knows that we will find him." JJ spoke.

"He wouldn't have gone far." Emily said. "Not with such physical condition."

"His phone is still here. The only thing he has taken with is his wallet." Rossi delivered the information.

"Okay, first of all, we should start looking at the usual places he used to go."

-CM-CM-CM-

"Okay, Derek. First and foremost, breath." Garcia said, rubbing Morgan's back.

"Why would he do that?" Morgan yelled again.

"Hey!" Garcia snapped. "What did I tell you? Breath. We will find him."

"Before it is too late. He is one hell of a trouble magnet." Morgan whispered.

"So, why are we waiting for?" Garcia asked.

The rest of the team walked out just when Morgan was about to tell something to Garcia.

"So, let's just say that he might not have gone so far with his condition, where do you think he would go first?" JJ asked.

Everyone was thinking when Morgan suddenly yelled. "Guys! I think I know where he is."

-CM-CM-CM-

Morgan drove speedily with his mother on the passenger seat.

"Do you always drive this fast?" Fran asked.

"Sorry, momma. Can't help it." Morgan mumbled before he parked his car. "There he is."

Morgan and Fran got down of the car and saw Reid sitting on a bench in the park.

"Derek, you …." Fran said something but Morgan wasn't listening. He quickly crossed the road, running towards Reid, leaving Fran behind.

"ARE YOU CRAZY?" Morgan yelled as he stood in front of Reid. "What were you thinking?"

"Derek, just shut up for a second." Fran snapped when she reached the place.

"What?" Morgan whispered slowly to her but eventually understood when he saw tears in Reid's eyes and his body was shaking.

"It's okay." Fran sat on the bench beside Reid and rubbed his back. "It's going to be alright."

Reid sobbed harder when he felt the mother's touch. He hugged his knees against his chest and buried his head, resting his forehead on his knees.

Fran's heart melted when she felt how shaky Reid's body was. Unable to hold herself, Fran pulled Reid into a hug which surprisingly Reid didn't resist. Rubbing softly Reid's back, Fran glared at Morgan.

Morgan sat beside Reid on the other side. Touching Reid's shoulders, Morgan whispered. "I am so sorry, Reid. I didn't mean to shout at you, I was … I was so scared."

"No, I am sorry." Reid looked over to Morgan. "I didn't mean to upset anyone."

Nodding to Morgan, Fran walked out, away from the boys, giving Morgan some time alone with Reid.

"I just …" Tears rolled down Reid's cheeks. "The fact that I might lose my job …"

"No, Reid." Morgan assured. "You are not going to lose your job … your therapy …"

"You can't just rely on that, Morgan." Reid wiped his tears. "Strauss is right. Maybe I am not fit to be an FBI agent anymore."

"So, what if you lose the job? Reid, there are a lot places waiting to hire you. You have a lot of talents." Morgan tried to inspire.

"True but I am nothing without BAU." Reid mumbled.

"You're wrong." Morgan answered strongly. "BAU is nothing without you."

Reid looked up at Morgan.

"You scared, don't you?" Morgan asked. "You think that we will forget you, that you will lose us if you are not working there? How could we forget you? Our own family? Trust me, nobody can ever replace you, Kid."

Reid smiled weakly at Morgan. "I am sorry, I didn't mean to run away."

"Yeah? For a genius, that was probably the most stupidest act ever."

Reid chuckled despite the tears in his eyes. "I didn't want you to fight with Strauss for me. I just ... funny thing is I don't even know where to go. I just realized, I have nobody."

Morgan placed his hands back on Reid. "Reid, you have us, you will get better, Reid. I am not giving up on you, nobody is giving to you, just … don't give up and hang on, okay?"

To Morgan's surprise, Reid grabbed a fistful of Morgan T-shirt and buried his head over Morgan's shoulders, crying. "I won't, I promise. I am so sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. Please don't hate me."

"Kid, we would never hate you. It's okay." Morgan reassured. "Just don't do something like this ever again."

"Hmm." Reid mumbled and stayed over Morgan's shoulder's for a couple of minutes.

Morgan continued to hold Reid close to him however, Morgan was caught off guard when Reid's body went limp.

"Reid? Reid." Morgan held Reid's body as he tapped Reid's cheeks.

"I think he is worn out." Fran said, suddenly appearing.

"He is developing a fever." Morgan said as he pressed his hand on Reid's forehead.

"Let's get him back home." Fran said as she picked up Reid's crutches.

Morgan carried Reid up carefully in bridal style and walked to the car.

-CM-CM-CM-

"Oh my God, is he alright?" Garcia gasped when she saw Morgan walking in with Fran, carrying Reid.

"Just a light fever." Morgan answered before he settled Reid on his bed.

"Is he going to be okay?" Hotch asked, standing at the edge of the door with the rest of the team.

"Of course." Morgan said as he pulled the blanket to cover Reid. "It's Reid we are talking about. He will pull through. I trust him."
