Drabble- Chapter 20-ish

Reunion

"............. and since this is season 2, im assuming spencey was 25. Please R&R!"

Hotch kneeled down next to Reid- who was still staring at Tobias' dead body. He knew that Reid was thinking it was his fault, but the team knew otherwise. Tobias Hankel's split-personality of his father had drugged and tortured him,-Reid had no choice but to kill him.

Hotch gently touched Reid's arm, and Reid looked up at Hotch. When he saw Reid's sad eyes filled with pain and grief, he frowned. Reid was the youngest on the team, and the look on his face right now didn't belong there. The look on Reid's face said that years on the job were finally getting to him, and he didn't know how much more he could take. Reid was only 25- he wasn't old enough to carry that look.

As Hotch carefully guided Reid off the ground- letting his young colleague use himself to balance, Reid drew closer to him. Hotch was shocked when Reid wrapped his arms around him, so he embraced the hug- knowing how much Reid needed it right now.

Reid nuzzled into Hotch's shoulder- blinking back tears of relief and sadness. Reid didn't want to let his boss go- he felt safe in his arms, and he wasn't quite ready to give that up. But, unfortunately, Hotch pulled away, and started walking away so that Gideon could have his reunion with Reid.

Gideon gave Reid a quick hug, and put his arm around Reid- who was still a bit wobbly. Gideon tried to lead Reid in the direction the team was going, but Reid stopped him.

"Can.........can I just have a minute alone?" Reid said- still sounding a bit out of breath. Gideon nodded.

"Sure.......of course." With that, he walked away to give Reid some privacy.

When Gideon walked away, Reid half fell- half kneeled to the ground, and looked into Tobias' dead eyes. He blinked away tears, but new ones kept on coming. As he stared at his eyes, his hands searched Tobias' pockets for the viles. Once he found the dilaudid, he stood up awkwardly, and stretched as he put them in his pocket. He folded his arms over his chest- staring at Tobias, and thinking about the drugs he stole.

"What have I done?" he whispered..........

".............k, so tomorrow I start school. YAY! But aw..........meaning either a brief update, or none. Please R&R!"
