Disclaimer: If I owned any of this, do you really think I'd have all 22 episodes saved on my DVR? No, I think not.

A/N: OMG. I am so sorry. I know I haven't updated in a while, but, inexplicably, I seem to have acquired a life. This, while great for me, really sucks for you. Sorry. Anyhoo, this chapter contains a torture sequence, so… yeah. Enjoy!

Spencer watched with wide eyes as Lucas drew closer.

He had one of the most sadistic grins that Spencer had ever seen on anyone's face.

Lucas sat on the bed and held up a syringe.

"Do you know what this is?"

"A syringe?" Spencer answered.

Lucas shook his head.

"No, what's in the syringe?"

Spencer didn't answer.

Lucas grinned madly and said, "Oh, you'll see."

Spencer's hazel eyes widened even more, if possible, as he fearfully glanced around the room.

"Why are you doing this?" Spencer asked, his voice cracking.

Lucas' grin faded, and his eyes glazed over, as if lost in a memory.

Finally, he said, "Awhile back, my son was a victim of a murder. In a case I was in charge of. Spencer, you remind me of my son. I couldn't help him, but I can help you. I have helped you."

Spencer, appalled, asked, "So, know you're going to hurt me? How does that make any sense?"

Lucas hesitated. "Um, I have my reasons."

With that, he brought the needle down into the young man's neck.

Spencer gasped. It felt like his very blood had caught fire.

In his agony-filled haze, Spencer didn't notice Lucas slowly exit the room, setting the room once more in darkness.

Garcia was searching for anything and everything that had to do with Brian Lucas.

After a few seconds, she joyfully yelled, "His address is 3343 Baxter Ave. in Quantico. Go get this jerk and bring back my little genius-thing!"

Morgan laughed and said, "Will do."

The team prepared for a raid, and they called SWAT in.

They were standing on the porch outside of Lucas' residence, when Morgan heard a soft ticking.

His eyes widened as he yelled, "The house is wired! It's a trap! Get down!"

As they all dove for cover, the house blew up in a brilliant flash of light and a loud noise.

Unfortunately, Lucas was smarter than they had previously thought, and catching him while finding Spencer would be extremely hard.

And they all, including Spencer, knew it.
