100 Themes – Misfortune

He didn't believe in this thing called 'misfortune.' There were many things, which people would call misfortune, but Reid believed that everything, which seemed misfortunate, had a hidden happy meaning in it. Everything happened for a reason – a good reason, people were killed for a reason. He may not be able to see the reason for that yet, but he was sure that one-day, one day. He would know why there were killers who enjoyed killing others; he would know why people lay down their lives to help someone else – someone like him.

He found out the reasons behind: why Morgan never talked about his life, why Gideon was found dead seven states away, why Elle had gone and killed that man, why Prentiss started having flings with every man she saw at the bar, why Garcia was shot and why Rossi had insisted on coming back to the BAU. He finally began to know that there was misfortune in the world he lived in.

But until he could find the misfortune when he and Hotch lay next to each other sleeping, Reid would continue to believe that there was no such thing as misfortune.
