My man glides down the stair case, triumph plastered on his face.

"Very good my boy!" I laugh, holding out a part of my meal to him as a reward. Like a dog.

And like a dog he smiles and gratifully takes the treat.

I thought I'd seen everything when it came to Reid. Hurt Reid, Sick Reid, In Pain Reid, Drunk Reid... forget I said the last one...

But I guess I hadn't seen Beat Up Reid because I couldn't help but stare as Reid hurried out of the elevator the next day. I'd been standing by JJ's office door talking to her when I noticed the giant purple bruise on his jaw bone.

"You get in a gang fight?" I ask, catching up with him and throwing an arm around the young genius's shoulder. He winced painfully and shrugged me off.

"Nope." He winced, "Just fell down the stairs this morning. The whole last flight." He rubbed his jaw, wincing more when he touched the bruise.

"Oh Reid!" Prentiss exclaimed when she saw him, "I'll go get you some ice, just sit there." She motioned to his chair.

Reid nodded and took his seat, logging in.

I stood there thinking for a second.

Knife thrower... They show up and take him with them... It doesn't hurt that much when you fall only one flight going down like a normal person... is Reid normal? Hmm...

I took off toward Garcia's office.

"Sugar Baby!" I called, walking through the door.

"Yes My Chocolate Adonis?" Garcia asks, looking away from the screen to wink at me.

She frowned when I didn't grin or wink, or do anything back. I just walked over and rubbed her shoulers.

"Listen Baby Girl, you know those two guys who showed up and took Reid with them last night?" I asked.

"No," Garcia started, "But I will in a minute." her fingers flew over a few keys and suddenly last night's security footage showed up on the main computer screen.
The blonde guy and his girlfriend were sitting at Reid's desk.

"Ooh, are they related?" Garcia asked, staring intently at the guy.

"No. They're glued to eachother in a deep romance surrounded by the guys ability to throw knives at whoever he doesnt like." I grin as I feel her shoulders slump.

"Shoot." She pouts.

"I know. His girlfriends smokin." I shook my head, trying to remember why I came in here.

"Anyway, pull up the current footage. Same place."

A few key clicks, and were staring at Reid at Reid's desk. He's turned around talking to JJ so Garcia gets an eyefull of the purple dot that's the bruise on his jaw. He's still wincing everytime he moves, jerking back or forward slightly everytime as he started to move.

Garcia gasped, "Who did this to my Boy Genius?" She demanded.

"That's what Im wondering. He says he fell down the flight of stairs this morning but theres something about this I just cant buy."

"Got it." Garcia said, opening up a new, black window and pulling up the security footage of Reid's friends. "I'll track down these mysterious new comers and see if there dirty enough to have smudged the poor kids face!"

"Thats my girl." I laugh, squeezing her shoulders and walking out of the room. "I have to get back to work but text me when you find something."

Garcia nodded, already enthralled in her task.

JJ

"Reid," I say after a few minutes, "Can I talk to you." Prentiss is turned around for a second, trying to find something in her desk.

Reid sighs, letting his head drop. Then he straightens up, winces, and stands. He nods and slowly follows me out the door and into my office.

"What really happened?" I ask.

"JJ-"

"Look I know Im supposed to pretend I dont know whats really going on but come on! Your limping!" I cry.

"It's been worse." Reid tries, his voice cracking on 'worse'. "I was once stoned with flaming rocks. Took me a year to nearly grow out the singed parts so my hair looked decent!"

"This is not about your hair Reid." I deadpan.

"I know, bad example. But still, you agreed-"

"No I was told to by you. But even when Im out there pretending to buy whatever story you cook up I wanna know the truth. I wanna know the Spencer who's been a vampire this whole time. Not the cover story Spencer." I say.

Reid's quiet for a minute, then he laughs, "That was offly deep." He giggles.

I laugh, "Well I am a romantic at heart."

"Okay fine. If it'll keep you from worrying your hair out mom. I got thrown off a building last night. Twenty stories high. The bones healed completely last night after a few quarts but the bruise and aches are gonna last a few days."

I just stared at him, "You say that like its nothing."

"Oh it is," Reid grinned, "When I was visiting a penpal in France I got chased by a group of Vampire Hunters off the Eiffel Tower. Very Top. I was amazed I escaped with such little broken body parts. Although the deep scraps I got took forever to heal."

I shook my head.

"Is it any wonder Im not totally fond of Paris?" Reid laughed.

"Ok." I threw my hands up, "So why where you on that building in the first place?"

"Oh, my Master's back in town," I didn't like the tone in Reids voice, it was suddenely cold and angry, "Yeah he's just great. First he tries to run me through with a stake, and then he takes me by surprise with the whole 'Vampires cant kill their Masters' thing and then throws me off the building! Even gave me a present." He pointed to his jaw bone.

"You cant kill him?"

"No. I didn't find that out until lasy night. Would have had Mike and Mina way closer if I'd known that. Hey," he looked me in the eyes, "How did you let it slip you knew what we were exactly."

"I honestly don't know." I shrugged. "I guess I stared to long or something and they caught me. I didn't mean to Reid. Honestly!"

"Fine. Just be alot more careful from now on." He started to leave.

"Wait!" I grabbed his wrist, making him wince, "Your affected by wooden stakes?"

Reid smiled, "Yes. It's like you getting hit with thirty little needles. Painful, but not deadly. Unless theres a bunch of crosses carved into which there was. Then it's like getting stabbed with a hot knife."

"Ouch."

Reid giggled.

"See ya JJ." and he walked out of the room.
