A/N: Do not own Criminal Minds
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Colleen had decided to get something for the group for dinner since it seemed like it was going to be a long evening. She had headed for the local KFC a few of blocks from the stationhouse; everybody liked chicken, didn't they? Loaded down with bags, she was regretting her decision not to bring the car or one of the guys to help her lug this stuff. Too late to think about that now, genius. Oh, genius I'm definitely not, but genius is a beautiful thing especially when embodied in the form of one Spencer Reid. That mind, those eyes, that beautiful smile, that hair and those delightful han…
"Hey beautiful, do you need some help there." She looked up from her happy reverie to find John staring down at her. He was the last person she wanted to see. Oh well at least he could carry half of the bags which were really starting to weigh on her.
"Sure, you can take half of these bags if you like."
"That really wasn't what I had in mind," he said with a sneer.
Colleen remembered what happened to Garcia in a stationhouse full of law enforcement. It made her heart race and her body began to tremble. Her hands were beginning to lose their grip on the bags of food. She felt herself stammering, "Oh never mind, I can manage these the rest of the way by myself." She turned to quickly walk on when she felt herself being grabbed and whipped around to face John, the bags falling to the ground.
"Don't ever turn away from me. I will not be dismissed. You think you're really something don't you? Messing around with the big FBI guy, yeah I saw the two of you smooching in the break room when you thought nobody was looking. What's he like? Bet I'm better. Why don't we give it a try?"
Colleen was really getting frightened now. "No, John, just leave me alone. They're expecting me with their meal and if I don't show up soon they'll come looking for me."
"That's all right, it won't take long to show you who the better man is." He tightened his grip on Colleen's arm and with his other hand pulled her hair and dragged her to the alley. Colleen screamed but no one was on the street and she was sure her cries would not be heard.
Once they reached the alley, John threw her against the wall of the building so hard the wind was knocked out of her. "Please, don't do this. It's not too late to stop; I won't say anything I promise."
John grabbed her face and pulled her toward him and kissed her. It was a hard and punishing kiss, nothing like the sweet, gentle but oh so arousing kisses she got from Spencer. She kept her mouth closed and tried to push him away which seemed to anger him even more.
Oh God, someone please help me. Spencer, where are you? I need you now, please come.
He had her pinned to the building with his knee and was running his hands excitedly over her body. She tried to fight and kick but he was too strong for her. He then tore the front of her blouse open to expose her breasts. Her chest was heaving with fear and panic and this seemed to excite him. He buried his head in her cleavage and started to move his mouth over her breasts. Colleen felt like she would vomit.
"Has anybody seen Colleen," Reid said to the group.
"What's the matter Junior, lose your little lady," Morgan couldn't resist a chance to tease especially when Reid was oh so easy to get a rise out of.
Lois said, "She left a little while ago to get some dinner for everyone, she thought it might be a long night. She should be back by now though, it's only a few blocks."
Reid's brow furrowed and he grabbed for his phone and punched in some numbers reminding himself that he should put her on his speed dial. The phone rang with no response. "She's not picking up. Garcia can you locate her cell for me please."
"You're really worried, aren't you," she sat down in front of the computer and her fingers started to walk over the oh so familiar territory.
"Just a feeling I can't shake."
"Okay, I have her cell on Midland Street about a block and a half from here. Reid, it's not moving."
The others looked up in shock as Reid went running past them and out the door. "What's going on" Hotch asked?
"Reid thinks there's something wrong with Colleen. She should be back by now and she's not answering her phone. I traced it to about a block and a half from here but the signal is not moving."
"Something's happened to Colleen," Kyle yelled as he too headed for the door with the others hot on his tail.
Morgan had quickly passed all the others when he came upon the bags on the sidewalk, then he heard sounds coming from the alleyway. He went toward the sound and saw John Hamil pinning Colleen to the side of a building. She was crying and screaming. Reid was attempting to get John off of the young woman. His rage was like nothing Morgan had ever seen in him before. He ran to assist his best friend.
When Morgan arrived in the alley they easily pulled Hamil off Colleen, who collapsed on the ground, crying. Morgan had a hold of John but Reid was trying to pull him away from Morgan, he wanted to get his hands on the guy.
The others had arrived, the women immediately going over to Colleen, who was still visibly shaking and screamed when they tried to approach her. The three women stayed back a few feet to give Colleen some room and some air, spreading themselves in a semi-circle around her, protecting her like a shield.
John was squirming to get out of Morgan's hold. Reid wanted Morgan to release him as well; he wanted a piece of this son of a bitch. "Reid, you need to check on Colleen, she needs you now." Reid glanced over at Colleen, seeing the terrified look on her face and the girls all around her. Morgan gestured toward her with his head, "Go."
Reid turned and looked at John once more, assured that he wasn't getting away; he turned and headed towards Colleen. The moment Reid left Morgan swung John around and shoved him hard against the building. John let out a groan of pain. Morgan was just beginning.
Morgan continued with his assault on John Hamil and his advanced training in hand to hand made it a very one sided altercation. By the time Morgan was through John was lying on the ground moaning in pain and would continue to moan in pain for some time to come. The others, it seemed, saw none of this, as no attempt was made to stop Morgan or assist John.
Colleen was looking around at everyone in something of a daze. She saw the girls all around her. She could also see her father and she heard him trying to penetrate the haze, saying "Colleen, honey, it's dad." She couldn't seem to get herself to respond and she looked at them like they were all from outer space. Then he came from behind her dad and the women, Reid. His face wore a look of pain and concern but she also saw love there. He squatted in front of her and the ladies gave him room.
"Colleen, can you hear me Sweetheart?" She nodded, did he call her sweetheart, he wasn't like Garcia, he didn't talk like that to everyone. It must mean something.
The girls and Kyle backed off a little when it seemed like she was responding to Reid. Reid reached out a hand and Colleen flinched back. He didn't withdraw the hand but spoke softly and gently, "It's okay, it's me, it's Spencer. Do you see me?" Colleen nodded again. "Will you let me help you up so we can take you do the doctor."
"Don't want a doctor."
"What do you want Colleen?"
"You," she said, tears spilling down her cheeks, "I just want you."
Reid sat down next to her, he removed his jacket and she allowed him to put it on her to cover her exposed body where John had ripped her blouse. He tentatively held out his arms to her and she looked at him for a few moments, then allowed herself to be pulled into his arms. She cried on his shoulder and he held her there until she had no tears left and then he lifted her like a child and carried her back to the stationhouse.
