Disclaimer: You see, I do not own Criminal Minds, sadly. I only own my created characters.

A/N: Here we go again! Get ready!!!!!! Oh, and some lines are taken directly form the episode Revelations. Some lines may not be perfect and have errors and I am sorry for that.

Gideon yelled something. No one was quite sure what it was but from his tone, it sounded bad. When everyone had gotten into the room, Reid was on the screen toppled over in the chair…and not breathing.

"No! Please, God! NO!" Alice sobbed. Morgan had grabbed and held her as she cryed. The rest of the team was in too much shock to even say anything. How could Reid, Reid be…dead? It just didn't seem fathomable. Suddenly Tobias appeared again on screen and was performing CPR on the collapsed agent. A small sliver of hope peaked through the otherwise dark situation. Hotch ran to get Gideon who was pacing in the bathroom, trying to persuade himself he did the right thing, but was failing miserably. The whole room was holding their breath, ncluding Hotch an Gideon who ahd gotten back, hoping Reid would breath, cough, gasp…something!

When the young man finally coughed and gasped for air, the team and Alice let out a sigh of relief. But the relief was short lived. The personality of Tobias was gone, but the angel Rapheal was back. Reid was told to choose a member of the team to die.

"For God's will," the 'angel' had said as he loaded one bullet into the revolver, spinned the barrel, and cocked the weapon. Please! Please, just choose! It won't matter to us! We just want you to live! Alice thought desperatly.

"I choose me," Reid said.

"I thought you weren't one of them," Rapheal contradicted.

"I lied."

"Choose!"

Dammit Spencer just do it! Each time the gun fired an unloaded shot, the whole room flinched and Alice's fists were clenched so tight she was drawing blood from her plams.

"I choose…Aaron Hotchner." Everyone's head snapped over to the stunned man standing next to them. "He's a classic narcisist. He always puts himself above the team." He quoted scripture and the screen went black again.

--

Alice was in shock. She really couldn't believe what happened. She followed Hotch as he ran into the other room. "Okay, everybody right now: what's my worst quality?"

"Hotch, you can't pay any att-," Gideon started, but Hotch cut him off abruptly.

"No seriously. I'll start. I have no sense of humor."

"You're a bully," JJ stuttered.

"I'm a bully," Hotch repeated.

"You can be a drill sergent sometimes," Morgan stated.

"You don't trust women as much as men," Emily added.

"Okay, I'm all of these things, but none of oyu said that I put myself above the rest of the team becasuse I don't," He paused for a moment. "Reid and I had an argument about classic narcissism and he knew I'd remember that."

Alice watched in shock and awe at the decoding of the clues and taking in the real cleverness of her boyfriend. He got the verse wrong on purpose to give them a clue. They ran into the room with the computers and stared talking about poatching and video posting and something called 'Marshall Parish' but Alice didn't hear any of it. The only part he heard was that they had found Spencer, and they were going to save him.

"Wait, Hotch," she said just before they left. "I'm coming."

"No you're not," Hotch told her.

"We do not have time to argue," she said as she grabbed Hotch's spare gun. "Spnecer taughed me how to shoot," she told him checking the magazine. "And if I'm right about what his 'sin' is, we have very little time left to save him."

Hotch could no longer argue about this so he handed her a bullet proof vest and said, "Do not do anything stupid. You and me are attached to the hip you understand? Reid would never forgive me of something happened to you."

And they left.

--

"'Those who do not honor thy father, or thy mother…shall surly be put to death'," Reid recited, knowing exactly what was coming next. Please hurry Hotch. I gave you bread crumbs. You just need to follow them. I don't want to die yet. I can't leave Alice alone…

Hankel merely uncuffed him and said, "Grab a shovel."

They had all burst in the small shack on Marshal Parish at once, hoping Reid was in there. He wasn't but when they saw the chair and handcuffs they new they were in the right place. "What's that smell?" Emily vocalized what the rest of them was thinking.

"Search the grounds," Hotch ordered. Not needing to be told twice, the team and Alice, true to her word and staying with Hotch, quickly left the shack. A gunshot rang out and Hotch yelled, "Reid!" as Alice screamed, "Spencer, where are you?"

"He's over there!" someone shouted and Alice could have fainted in relief. She ran towards him with Hotch and JJ out in front. When she saw him, he hugged Hotch and said something she couldn't hear.

As Alice was walking closer, he hugged JJ and she said, "I'm so sorry."

"It's not your fault," he replied. When they broke apart Reid saw Alice and embraced her the closest of all.

"Thank God your safe. I don't know what I'd do if I lost you," Alice cried.

"I'm sorry I broke my promise," Reid said through tears.

"I don't even care about that right now. I just care that you're safe and in my arms again. Come on. We've gotta get you to the hospital."

"Lemme say goodbye first."

She nodded and walked away. Did he really want them? No. But he needed them. Gideon and Hotch would be so ashamed. And Alice. What would Alice say? It didn't matter in those few moments. He reached into Tobias's pocket and grabbed the two vials of Dilauded.

--

At the hospital, Gideon was informed of Reid's condition. "He had some Dilauded in his system. He'll suffer from some detox symptoms and we can't give him narcotics for the pain. A coulpe of bones were broken in his right foot so he'll have trouble walking on it for a couple of weeks. He has some cuts and bruises and he'll be in pain for a while, but he'll be able to go home in a few days." Gideon nodded and went to go tell the rest of the team. Alcie approached him first and asked what was happening.

When she heard about the drugs she asked, "Well. did he give them by force?"

"Probably. I'm sure he wants to see you first. You go to his room while I tell the rest of the team."

"Thank you. You know you're like a father to him right? And Jason? Can you keep the drugs between you, me, Hotch, and Spencer?"

He smiled, nodded, and walked away.

Spencer Reid was sitting in a hospital bed. God he hated hospitals. The smell was awful. His foot itched terribly and he couldn't reach it. When he heard the doors to his room open he looked up to find Alcie staring back at him. She walked in and right away kissed him. "I missed you so much."

"I missed you too. You know the whole time I was there I couldn't think about anything other than leaving you alone. I love you so much,"he said as he hugged her tightly.

She could feel tears stating to fall down her face as she said, "I love you too. More than anything." Reid started crying too.

"It was so awful," he whispered. Was this the alone she felt when he had left?

"I know. I know. But I'm here now. You're not alone anymore." Was this how he felt when she was crying about being alone?

"She's right, kid," Morgan said as he walked into the room followed by the whole team including Garcia. "All of us are here for you."

"Thanks guys," he whispered as he wiped his teras away. He was surrouded by the people he loved. His family. He truly wasn't alone anymore.
