Hello everyone! I do have some news…
The first news is that school is about to start within the next week and that means that the chapters will be slower and possibly shorter due to homework and work in general. I am apologizing in advance and hope you will stick with me.
Secondly, this is story is coming to an end soon. The story probably only has about 3 more chapters or so and then Don't you touch him' is done. It is sad but it had to end sooner or later and sooner is better because that means no more cliffhangers.
Lastly, I have no more news but felt like I needed a 'Lastly' in there somewhere so I added it in. Lo Siento.
Read on!
Warnings: Mild cussing and cliffhangers
Summary: With Strauss gone, they now need a new boss but suspicion rises when the new boss is rude toward Reid. Does the new boss have a bone to pick with Reid or is he after Reid? The team must protect their youngest from this monster of a boss.
/Don't you touch him/
The bullpen was quiet the next day after the big trick on Riley. Hotch and Rossi were in their offices, filling out paperwork while JJ and Garcia discussed cases. Blake and Morgan were downstairs chatting after finishing all their paperwork (Reid took some) and Reid was spinning on his chair, reading some article from a foreign country… for some reason. Morgan looked over at Reid and smiled. Reid looked much better after Riley was fooled and caught on camera. Garcia sent the video to Director Judy no more than 5 minutes after Reid went to go get his lip checked out.
Everyone was a little tense because Judy may reject the video because it was only a 1-2 minute video. They're going to need more proof to get Riley out of here but what else can they do? None of them wanted to put Reid in danger of getting hurt again so they couldn't get any more videos... on purpose at least.
Everyone jumped except for Reid when the doors to the bullpen practically slammed open and Mr. Riley came storming in, eyes set on murder. He came charging at Reid, who was still spinning on his chair reading the article.
"YOU!"
Morgan and Blake blocked his path but were knocked out of the way as Riley pushed through their arms. Reid stopped spinning and looked at Riley. Reid wasn't as scared of him any more so he stayed seated… But not for long.
Reid yelped when Mr. Riley gripped his sweater vest and brought him out of his chair and in the air. Riley started shaking Reid a little, making Reid dizzier than he was before.
"YOU STUPID BASTARD! YOU SET ME UP!"
Reid shook his head when Riley stopped shaking him. He looked at Riley and observed that Riley's face was tomato red and his dress shirt was a mess, meaning that he was worried about something.
"Wha-What are you talking about?"
"THE VIDEO! YOU VIDEOTAPED ME PUSHING YOU AND YOU CALL IT ABUSE!"
"You didn't push me, you punched me. Those are two very different things."
"SHUT UP!"
"Put him down right now Mr. Riley!"
He turned to see the team around him and even some innocent bystanders. Now they have witnesses. He slowly put Reid on the ground and Reid fell to the ground, panting.
"Are you alright Reid?"
"I'm calling security!"
"I'm fine."
JJ and Garcia helped Reid up as an agent talked on the phone.
"Security is on their way now."
Reid looked at Riley and felt a slight relief. Riley on the other hand, looked pissed.
When security came, they requested that Reid come down as well so he can give his story even if it wasn't needed.
"And don't worry, Director Judy has been informed about this and he is on his way to talk to your team."
Hotch nodded and a security guy lead Reid to the front doors, while Riley walked behind him with another security guy next to him. When they came to the glass doors, no one was ready for what happened next. It happened in slow motion for everyone who was watching.
Zack Riley quickly turned and punched the security guard next to him, knocking him out. The security guard next to Reid turned around and went for his Taser but Riley was faster and knocked him on the ground and also knocking him out. He turned toward Reid and grabbed him by the collar then spun around, making Reid lose his balance. Riley let his grip on Reid go, making Reid fly.
*CRASH*
Glass shattered everywhere as Reid went through the glass doors. His back hit first and everyone heard the thump as Reid landed on the other side.
"REID!"
Morgan and Hotch charged at Riley and tackled him to the ground. Rossi tried keeping everyone back from the glass while the girls ran to Reid but couldn't get very far with the door busted and glass everywhere.
"Spence! Are you okay?"
When they didn't get an answer, they assumed the worst and were about to walk over the glass when the elevator dinged, meaning that someone was coming out and onto the floor.
The elevator door opened revealing Director Judy.
He stood still for a few seconds as he saw the incident before him. He stepped out of the elevator and took it in a little more. He looked at the broken door, the bystanders, Morgan and Hotch holding down an angry Riley, the girls at the door and a bleeding, unconscious Reid. He took a few steps before kneeling by Reid. He turned Reid on his back slowly and checked for any neck/back injuries. All the injuries seemed to be was a major cut on his head, cuts on his arms and back and another concussion. Judy took off his suit jacket and made a pillow for Reid's head. When he stood up, he went to the door and helped the girls through so they can get to Reid. He then went to Morgan and Hotch with a writhing Riley underneath them. He looked at Riley before looking away.
"What happened?"
The team was silent and Judy was about to respond when an agent stepped forward.
"Everyone was acting normal when Mr. Riley came bursting in yelling at Reid about some videotape. He was shaking the agent like some bobble head. Someone called security and they took the two down. Within the next few minutes, both security guards were knocked out and Riley spun the agent around and threw him through the glass. Then you came in."
Judy took in the information before gesturing for Morgan and Hotch to lift Riley off the ground. Riley was a little bruised from the tackle but he didn't seem too bad because he was still pulling against Morgan and Hotch's hold. Judy came to face Riley and had a stern face on. Riley stopped fighting when he looked at Judy.
"Agent Zack Riley, you trash my building, mess with security cameras, abuse your power as a section chief and more importantly, abused and almost killed my best agent in the BAU. With these charges, I am releasing you from your duties in the BAU and US Government. Any objection to these charges?"
"DAMN RIGHT I HAVE OBJEC-!"
"No objections then? Good."
Director Judy leaned in really close to Riley's face and changed from a boss to an enemy.
"Now get out of my face and if I ever see you near any of my agents again, I'll take matters into my own hands. Do I make myself clear?"
Riley let out a big breath and Judy stood up straight. He reached for Riley's badge and quickly pulled it off.
Within 3 minutes, over 6 security guards were in the bullpen to remove Riley of the BAU grounds. Riley didn't even look at Reid as they passed by. Reid was still unconscious when everything was over and Judy was doing a medical exam on Reid while everyone cleaned up the glass they can without moving Reid too much. When everything was cleared away, Reid started to stir. Judy rested a hand against his shoulder to keep him from moving.
"Stay down Doctor Reid, you have some other injuries that I haven't examined yet."
"Wha- What hap-happened?"
"Riley got you one more time but I am happy to say that it will be the last time, doctor."
Reid smiled and Judy called over his team members as Reid started to drift off again. When the team was gathered around and talking to him softly, Judy was examining not only Reid but the sight before him.
Rossi and Hotch were the uncle and father that were on Reid's right, not touching him but still close enough to know that Reid is okay. Garcia was the mother that was at his head, stroking his hair while Judy checked for any injuries on his head. JJ and Blake were the older sister and aunt that were at Reid's shoulders and whispering calming 'We got you.' And 'Riley's gone.' And Morgan was the protective older brother that was next to Judy, holding Reid's hand while asking Judy questions about Reid.
The whole team was checking Reid in their own personal way and Judy finally finished his exam of Reid and stood up from Reid. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Judy. He smiled and nodded at the team.
"He'll be fine."
Everyone smiled and looked at the sleeping agent, his facial expression calm and content.
"He's safe now."
/Don't you touch him/
…Not. This is not the end but if you want it to be, go ahead. There is still some drama coming and hopefully I'll get it out to you before next Monday. (School starts)
So bring me some support and see if I can finish it!
