Hey everyone, thank you so much for the reviews. They were all amazing and again I'm sorry if I'm making you cry, I actually feel really bad. I'm really nervous about the ending of this chapter but would love to know what you think.
Thank you again for the reviews, adds and favourites. Thank you!
Enjoy and please review
All mistakes are my own
Hotch, Rossi, Morgan and Emily walked back into the BAU, none of them had said a word to each other on the way back from the morgue. Each of them had memories of Reid when he had been alive, he had been happy the last few months and had even gone out with the team more and more. He had been living a happy life. The unsub had taken that all away from Reid. The unsub had taken away that future from Reid. A future that would have been with the BAU and with his family.
JJ walked down the corridor towards them with a grim look on her face and red eyes.
"JJ, what's wrong? What happened?" Emily asked as she stepped ahead of the men in front of her and put a comforting arm around JJ.
"The bastard, I mean the unsub, he sent us another video. Garcia has set it all up but she can't watch it. She's with Henry right now. Will came down after I called him. I can't watch it either. I just accept that his gone, I can't stop thinking of the future and how Reid isn't going to be there and how he won't be there as godfather to Henry," JJ cried gently.
"Hotch, I can't watch it either. I can't, I need some time," Emily said before looking at JJ. Hotch understood and nodded. He didn't want to watch the video but he knew he had to. There may have been a chance that Reid had left them some clue to who killed him. Emily walked with JJ down the corridor leaving the three men standing there.
Hotch turned to look at Morgan.
"Derek, can you handle this? It's okay if you can't," Hotch said as he addressed Morgan by his first name, something he had almost never done.
"I can do this but don't expect me to be calm. We both know that we can't watch that video and not think of Reid and how much pain that bastard put him through. Reid has-had never done anything wrong to anyone and he had to go through that, his last moments of this earth were full of pain and fear. Trust me when I say this Hotch, I'm going to make sure the son of a bitch that killed Reid goes through a world of pain," Morgan growled angrily before walking away.
Garcia's office
Hotch clicked on the video, a small screen popped up to reveal Reid tied up on the floor at the bottom of his bed. Tears were running down his cheeks as cried. Hotch felt his eye's water as he watched Reid try to scream for help but no sound came out. Morgan, Rossi and Hotch all tensed when they saw the unsub walk next to Reid.
"Hello again. I think it's time for me and Spencer to have some fun," the unsub laughed.
The unsub looked down at Reid for a moment before delivering a brutal kick to Reid's stomach. Reid's face scrunched up into one of pain as he tried to move into a fetal position. The unsub continued his brutal assault by kicking Reid in the face causing his head to whip to the side. Reid turned back to face the camera with a stream of blood coming from his nose. The unsub grabbed Reid by the throat and pushed him to the ground. He straddled Reid's hips.
"Spencer, if you beg me to stop I will stop. Go on Spencey! Beg me," the unsub said in an enthusiastic voice.
Hotch put his hand to his mouth as he watched Reid try to plea with the man but no sound came out. Hotch hated this unsub more than he had hated anyone, the unsub was toying with Spencer.
The man slapped Reid around the face causing Reid to let out a small whimper.
"Oh my god, will you look at that? He can whimper like a baby," the unsub taunted before grasping Reid by his hair and lifting his head up. The unsub punched Reid straight in the face causing Reid's head to smack into the floor. Reid laid on the floor in a daze.
"NO!" Morgan screamed at the screen as the unsub took out a knife and plunged it into Reid. Reid began to cry harder as the unsub pulled the knife out. Small whimpers filled the screen as Reid tried to struggled against the unsub and as he struggled against the pain.
"I'm gonna kill this fucker," Morgan growled as he watched the video. "I'm going to put his head on a stick."
The three men watched the unsub turn Reid onto his stomach. They felt pain in their hearts as they watched Reid cry, the pain got stronger as Reid looked into the camera, his eyes pleading for someone to come and save him. Morgan wanted to just jump into the screen and save Reid, he wanted to save Reid and make everything right again. Something he knew he could never do.
The unsub grabbed one of Reid's fingers and looked at the camera. "This little finger made me angry."
The unsub bent the finger into an awkward angle. Reid cried harder on the video as the unsub let go of broken finger. The unsub got to his feet, he walked to Reid's head and grabbed Reid by his hair. Reid's face scrunched into one pain as the unsub dragged him out of the camera's view.
The screen went blank leaving the three men in shock at what they had just seen.
Reid
Reid wondered around the BAU for a while. He felt upset that he would never walk through the doors and into the bullpen with a cup of coffee in his hands and recieve a smile from the team at his arrival. Reid looked across the bullpen and saw Henry sitting at a table drawing. Reid suddenly found himself at the other side of the bullpen looking into the room. He walked around the corner to find Will comforting JJ. Garcia walked out into the corridor.
Reid hated not seeing Garcia smile, all he wanted was to see her smile at that moment. Reid walked into room where Henry was to see that Henry was drawing. Reid looked at Henry and thought of everything that he was going to miss of his godson's life. He wasn't going to be able to get Henry into college with one phone call, he wasn't going to be able to see him grow up.
Reid felt anger rise up in him again as he thought of everything he was going to miss. The future that he had looked forward to had been ripped away from him.
"Hi Uncle Spencer," Henry smiled before looking up to face him. Reid felt himself almost freeze as his godson looked directly at him.
"Henry, can you see me?!" Reid asked, shock evident in his voice. Henry nodded before picking up another crayon and offered it to Reid. It was clear that the team had not yet told Henry that he had died.
Reid walked forward and tried to take the crayon, his hand passed straight through it. Henry giggled causing Reid to feel a little happy at hearing his godson laugh. Reid didn't understand how Henry could see him. He knew that he had to give the team help and he needed to give them it now.
"Henry, can you do something for Uncle Spencer? Can you draw something for me?" Reid asked Henry.
"Yeah," Henry smiled at Reid.
Five minutes later
Henry had just finished the drawing that Reid had described to him when Reid felt something run through him, something that felt wrong.
"Uncle Spencer, where did you go?" Henry said before looking around the room.
"I'm right here. No, why can't you see me anymore?" Reid moaned in fustration. He watched Henry jump from the chair and grab the drawing that Reid had described to him.
"Go show JJ, tell her what I told you," Reid whispered to himself as he watched his godson walk to the team that had now gathered into a group. He just hoped the team believed Henry.
The Team
Morgan and the team were trying to think of what the next step was. They had no leads and no forensic evidence. Morgan watched as Henry walked up to the team.
"Hi honey, what do you have?" JJ said in a motherly voice as she scooped Henry up and into her arms. JJ took the picture and looked at it with confusion.
"Honey, what is this?"
"Uncle Spencer told me to draw it," Henry said as he laid his head to his mother's chest. The entire team looked at Henry at that moment. JJ looked at the picture and knew that Henry wouldn't draw something like this.
"Little man, what do you mean? When did Uncle Spencer ask you to do this?" Morgan asked, his heart hurting as he said Reid's first name.
"Uncle Spencer told me to draw it. He said the bad man had a picture on here," Henry said as he pointed to his little wrist. "Uncle Spencer was in his night night clothes."
The team stood in shock as they absorbed Henry's words.
