Disclaimer: I own nothing. If I did, I wouldn't post my stories here. They'd be in the show.

A/N: I am so good. You may get two chapters tonight! MAY being the key word. It all depends on how I feel. Cross your fingers! Oh, and please vote on my poll on my Bio page. :) Also, you'll notice I don't put in too many decriptions of places. That's intentional. It makes your imagination work harder instead of just blindly reading something. I, for one, like it that way. Sorry if it annoys you.

Derek Morgan was flipping through the TV channels when his cell phone rang. "Morgan. Hey Reid," he listened for a moment. "Whoa, slow down. Say that last part again." His face got incredibally serious. "I'll be over in a half hour." Someone was messing with Reid's gril. That meant someone was messing with Reid. And if someone was messing with Reid, well…they were messing Derek Morgan too.

--

Reid hung up from his phone call with Morgan and proceeded to call Garcia.

"Information super highway. Tell me what you require and I will find it super-fast," she greeted Reid with one of her creative ways of answering the phone.

"Hey, Garcia. It's Reid."

"'Sup, babycakes. What can I do you for?"

"I need you to trace some e-mails."

--

Morgan knocked on Reid's door. He had just realized he had never been to the young agent's house before today.

"Hey, thanks for coming," Reid said as he opened the door.

"No problem, man," Morgan replied as he walked inside. The woman he had met a few days earlier, Alice was her name, was sitting on the couch, holding a cat, he could only asume was Reid's.

"Alice? Morgan's here," Reid had announced.

She turned around and looked up as the cat ran away at the sudden noise of Reid's voice. She offered a small, forced smile as she said, "Hi, Agent Morgan. Thank you for coming to help me."

She looked small and timid now, much different than he had seen her the day they had met. "It's no trouble," he assured her. "And you can just call me Morgan."

There was an awkward silence and Reid broke it by saying, "Uh, so the computer is this way." He lead the way to his office. When they arrived, Morgan sat down in the office chair with Reid standing behind him. Alice stayed by the door. Morgan noticed that the prospect of seeing the e-mail again, frightened her. After he had read it, he knew why. Seeing Reid's face crossed out made his skin crawl. Whoever is doing this is gonna be sorry, he thought.

Reid told Morgan all he had come up with and after of few seconds of silent thought Morgan said, "Well, it looks like you got everything. Hey, kid, I think you should call Hotch and Gideon. This could get really bad, if this guy's serious."

Reid rubbed the bridge of his nose and said, "Yeah. Yeah, you're right. You call Hotch. I'll call Gideon." Morgan nodded and walked into another room to make his call. "Alice. Alice. Alice? Alice!"

"Huh? What?"

"I've been calling your name for the past, like five minutes," Reid told her.

"Oh. Sorry. I've just been thinking…" she trailed off.

"Nothig is going to happen," he replied, reading her thoughts. "I promise. I will do everything in my power to be sure of it."

Tears came to her eyes as she said, "I know you will."

He rubbed her back to try and stop the flow of tears as he said, "Come on. We have to go to the office."

"Okay," she sniffed wiping the tears away.

He slipped his hand into hers and guided her out of the room as he pulled out his cell phone to call Gideon.

Emily Prentiss walked into the BAU bullpen very confused. Hotch had said Reid was in trouble, so she agreed without protest to come in, but he had been very vauge about what the trouble was. She liked the kid. Granted, she didn't know him very well yet, but the conversations they had were interesting. Especially they're most recent "Chocolate and Peas" one, however brief.

As she walked through the doors she saw Reid and his girlfriend she had met on Monday. What was her name? she thought. Alex? No. Al…something. Grr. Alice! That's it. Alice. "Hey, Reid," she greeted. "What's going on? Hotch told me that you were in trouble, but didn't relly tell me anything else. He just told me to meet everyone here."

Reid then began to explain, for what she figured the hundreth time, about the e-mails. Stunned that someone would want to hurt Reid, she just looked at him when he finished. "I got that from Gideon too. Hotch and Morgan were pissed and JJ and Garcia were mortified."

"Well, I'll do whatever I can."

"Thaks," he said. "Everyone else is in the round-table room. We'll both be up in a sec."

"Okay," she replied as he walked to join the others.

--

"Uh, baby girl, you're killing me," Morgan told her as Reid and Alice walked into the room.

"I know, sweet cheeks, but your guy is scary good. He made it look like he sent the e-mails from a café in Russia."

"Are you sure that isn't where the e-mails originated from?" Hotch asked.

"I'm sure. He re-routed the server. He set up a firewall that Houdini himself couldn't get through. Believe me, I've tried."

"Okay, that's fine Garcia," Gideon sighed. "You did your best."

"Sorry guys."

--

"I don't know what else I can tell you guys!" Alice shouted in frustration. "I have gone through every crack, corner, and crevice of my life with you and can't find anything!"

"We've been at it for six hours, Aaron," Gideon said. "We're not getting anywhere. Maybe the guy we're after is just someone random who saw her on the street. She wouldn't know him then."

"Maybe you're right Jason," Hotch replied. "All right, you two," he motioned to Reid and Alice, "go back to Reid's apartment and get some sleep. Morgan, Prentiss, go with them and set up servilence outside the building. Clear the place corner to corner before you leave them alone."

"You got it Hotch," Morgan said.

"I really am sorry," Alice said. "You don't need this. You all have better things to do."

"Not really," JJ said. "When your family is threatened, you do whatever it takes. And face it, you being involved with Reid, makes you part of that family."

"Wow," she said stunned. "That's um…really nice."

"Sure thing Al," JJ replied.

"Get going," Hotch told them "We'll keep working here."

--

It was three AM when the four finally arrived at Reid's apartment building. When it was cleared, Morgan and Emily said good night and went to assume their position in the street.

Reid could see her trembling so he said, "Hey. Come here."

"Mmmmm," she groaned while walking towards him. "Spencer…why me?"

"I don't know, sweetie," he replied as he hugged her. "I don't know, but we really should get some sleep."

"Yeah," she sighed. "We should."

Both of them changed and climbed into the bed. She snuggled close to him as Reid said, "You don't have to worry. I'm right here, Al."

"I know, Spence. I know." And she fell asleep.

--

Alice woke up alone in the bed an hour later. "Spencer?" she called sleepily. "Spencer, where are you?"

"Kitchen," he called back.

"What are you doing?" she asked, squinting as she walked into the brightly lit kitchen.

"I couldn't sleep."

"I see that. Please come back to the bedroom, at least. I don't really feel comfortable being alone for a long time."

"Sure. I'll be there in a sec."

"Okay."

A few seconds later he heard a crash in the bedroom. "Alice, honey, are you all right?" She didn't respond. "Al?" Nothing. His FBI training kicked in and he went for his service weapon. Loading it, he called for her again. "Alice?" Reid held out his gun and swallowed hard. He turned in the bedroom and saw what he thought he would but hoped to God as he was walking down the hallway he didn't. There was a broken lamp on the floor, but his attention was drawn to the opposite side of the room. A man had a Alice in a headlock and a knife to her throat.
