*hey guys, I know it's been like what over a month since I updated? Sorry just with everything with exams at the end of this year I haven't been able to upload as frequently as I wanted to. But guess what? It's the first day of summer! And even though I have one summer class that I'm taking virtually over the summer, I will be able to upload much more often than I have! So without further ado, here is chapter 19 :*
"What?" Spencer Reid said as he tried to concentrate on Derek Morgan's words. He found it hard to concentrate on anything except for the fact that his sister still loved him. All of these years she avoided him, but now, because of this Unsub, they were reunited. No, not because of the Unsub — because you saved her, Spencer told himself. He had to know the difference, so that Natalie would know the same. He had to stay strong: for Natalie.
"I said," Morgan started, slightly annoyed, "that we have the Unsub in custody."
"What's his name?" Reid asked as Morgan handed him a tablet.
"Javon Barnes." Morgan confirmed.
"Javon?"
"Yah, all his felonies and such are on that tablet of yours, why, you know him?"
"Yah, I—"
"Dr. Reid?" A voice came from behind them.
"Yes?" Spencer responded, turning around to face the doctor.
"I have some important information on Natalie that you need to hear."
"Oh, yes OK," he said as he faced Morgan, "I'll be right back."
"OK, pretty boy. " Morgan replied as the doctor gestured for Reid to follow her into a vacant hallway.
"Is everything OK with Natalie? Did something happen?"
The doctor sighed and began to give the unwanted news.
"Physically she'll be OK. She has only minor injuries," she paused as she glanced at her chart, "A broken rib, sprained arm, broken leg… All she'll have to do is go to physical therapy for a few months, but she'll be fine. But mentally..."
"Mentally?"
"Yes, well, for one she had a history of suicidal behavior before, so I didn't think this would help matters—"
"Suicidal behavior?"
"Yes, I assumed you knew?"
"No, no I didn't."
"Well, she's been in here once or twice for, uh, trying. She's since gotten better though, I haven't seen her in a good three years."
"But you will feel this will bring up past habits."
"Exactly."
"I'll make sure she doesn't."
"Thank you, oh, and there is one more thing you should be aware of."
"Which is?"
"Well the man who did this to her, he– she was drugged several times and, well, she may begin to experience symptoms related to withdrawals, and—"
"How bad is it?"
"There are six visible marks…"
"OK, thank you for your time, Doctor."
"No problem, Doctor Reid. No problem at all." The doctor sadly sighed as she walked away.
She's not you, Spencer told himself. She's strong. She may not even be addicted, right?
Without another second to ponder on the idea of her being addicted, he turned on his heels, and headed straight to Natalie's hospital room.
