The next morning the team was woken up by Reid opening the door. Slight bits of daylight were entering the cabin, the smell of boiled meat was in the air and everyone was cold. They quickly rolled out of their sleeping bags and got dressed. JJ and Emily got out coffee and bottled water and made coffee. Reid came in, ignored them, and stirred his soup. As the coffee percolated Reid almost started drooling. JJ handed him the first cup. He barely waited for it too cool down before guzzling it down. As the others drank their coffee and ate protein bars, Reid's soup finished cooking. He took it off the fire and started filling the wooden bowls stacked beside the woodpile. He then went and carefully handed them out dragging his foot behind him. The first bowl went to Rossi

"Rossi, I'm so sorry about your hand. Here I gave you an eye. Or if you'd like I could give you the brain, or other organs."

"No thank you, this is good. And my hand will be fine don't worry about it. "

Reid handed out bowls to Hotch, JJ, and Emily. Reid then filled his coffee mug with soup and gave it to Morgan. They all game fully at the soup, it was only slightly better than yesterdays. After they were done they loaded the car, Reid sat on his log by the fire. After they were done Morgan came over

"Alright kid everything is loaded is time to go."

"Could you please put the rest of the firewood that's against the house on the woodpile, put the table back where it was, put the bowls back, and dump the soup outside."

"Reid you're not coming back here."

"I know but just in case someone else gets trapped up here."

Seeing Reid was not going to budge Morgan did as he asked, the rest of the team joining in. After it was done and Reid had moved the tripod and extinguished the fire he grabbed his messenger bag, moved his notebook from his scavenging bag to his messenger bag and left the cabin. Reid moved slowly toward the cars before he got in, he dug out his knife and made a cut on his finger and watched it bleed he turned to the team and explained

"In my dreams I don't bleed, I'm just making sure this is real."

Morgan helped him into the SUV and they drove away after fifteen minutes Reid became increasing paler and was now white as a sheet. His eyes were closed and his teeth were grinding together.

"Hotch pull over."

"What is it?"

"It's Reid something's wrong."

Hotch pulled over, as did the other SUV driven by Emily.

"What's going on, why have we stopped?" Reid asked barely audible

"Something's wrong with you. Can you tell us what?"

"It's nothing my foot keeps being jostled, that's all."

"Hotch do you think we could brace it." JJ asked from the passenger seat

"No, this road is unpaved. There is no way we can protect and brace Reid's foot all the way down. I'm going to call an ambulance."

"Don't bother I'll be fine."

"You won't your already white as a sheet and we've only been driving for fifteen minutes." Morgan said

Reid grabbed his stick and his messenger bag and started to climb out. Morgan tried to stop him but Reid actually hit him lightly with his stick, opened the passenger door and got out. He fell to the ground, tried to stand, and failed again. Hotch, Morgan and JJ hurried over to him, along with Rossi and Emily. They tried to go to him but Reid waved his stick as a warning

"If you wanted to leave me you could have just left me at the cabin. or just waited, I was planning to kill myself in three days if you didn't come."

The others were taken aback at this news and at Reid's mental state. JJ came over carefully knelt down beside him

"Spence, we don't want you gone. We want you to come back home with us. The reason we stopped is to take care of you because we care about you. We're family remember."

"I thought Jason Gideon cared about me. Instead he let someone use his name and set a trap for me. I spent twenty one days trapped in that cabin because I thought Gideon actually wanted my help."

"Reid I don't know why you got kidnapped or how but I do know Jason Gideon would never let you get hurt. Whoever did this used his name without his knowledge." Hotch said

Reid didn't say anything; Hotch got out his phone and called for an ambulance. Morgan came over to Reid and knelt down next to JJ

"Reid let's go back to the cabin and wait there. It's going to be at least three hours before the ambulance gets here. Come on get on my back, I'll carry you."

"What"

"You can't walk, and you can't get back into the car. So carrying you is the best option. Now get on my back or I'll put you in a fireman's hold."

Reid looked around for help but they all agreed with Morgan. With no choice Reid with Hotch's help got on got on to Morgan's back. Hotch gave JJ the keys. The three men got off the road while the SUV's turned around and went to the cabin after they had moved a short way off, the men started walking. By the time they back to the cabin Hotch was carrying Reid. They got inside and put Reid down on his log.

"I was thinking if someone went to all the trouble of tricking Reid and leaving him here instead of killing him they would have wanted to watch. But we searched all around the cabin and Reid would have explored the forest around the cabin the kidnapper would have nowhere to hide. Can either of you think of a place where a camera could be hidden?" Emily said

"The chimney." Reid said dragging himself up, Rossi immediately steadied him. They studied the bricks and found a camera carefully concealed in the brickwork.

A/N Please Review, do you think Gideon had any involvement. Will Reid ever leave and should I just end this story quickly. Please review and let me know.
