"Has anyone seen Reid?" Morgan asked as he walked out into the hot Phoenix sun. The heat beat down on his head and he could instantly feel beads of sweat forming on the back of his neck.
"He's examining the crime scene upstairs." Said Emily as she pointed at the outside window on the second floor, Morgan brought a hand up to shield the light and followed her finger towards the house. Sure enough he could see the youngest agent talking to one of the officers. Five little girls had been stolen right from their bedrooms.
"Thanks." Said Derek as he ran back into the house thankful that the boy was inside and that he didn't have to stand another moment in the heat. He climbed the flight of stairs in the stucco house and walked into the victim's room.
"Hey Morgan." Reid nodded his head as a greeting as he slipped two white gloves over his hands. Derek leaned against the doorway as he watched Spencer dig through a pile of junk on the floor. The mother had told the team how her daughter had promised to clean up the next morning. Like most parents of missing children she broke down in tears and JJ swooped in and comforted her.
"Reid, are you okay?" the boy had begun hacking and his eyes were watering. Reid tried to nod but he was overwhelmed by the coughing, "What's wrong kid?"
"I don't know." He said as he stepped away from the items he was sorting through. "I'm having a little difficulty breathing."
"Do you need help?" Morgan was at his side in a moment, a caring hand rubbed Reid's back as he coughed. As Reid gasped for breath his face changed to a sickening red color. Morgan was about to call for help but then as quickly as the fit began it stopped.
"No, I think I'm fine." Reid's face faded back into its natural color and his breathing returned to normal, "There was probably just something in the air."
"Okay Kid. Well the team is splitting up and leaving this house to cover more ground. I'm going to run outside and see if I'm needed elsewhere. If not, I'll probably come back here and help you. There seems to be a lot of evidence that needs to be examined." Derek moved his hands around to indicate the covered floor.
"That would help move things along. Did you know that the expression…" Morgan laughed to himself and didn't wait to hear the rest of what was being said before he turned on his heels and left.
"We done yet?" Derek Morgan inquired as he looked around the room. They had been working for nearly two hours, he couldn't imagine they would find anything that they hadn't already. He had his back towards Reid as he sorted through the stuffed animal pile one more time.
"I think…" Reid's voice trailed off as his hand flung to his throat. "Can't…." he gasped trying to fill his lungs with air, "…breath."
"Reid?" Morgan's head snapped around as he watched the boy fall to the floor. "Reid!"
"Morgan…I...twenty percent…"
"What are you saying? Do you know what's going on?" Reid nodded.
"Ana…" he couldn't get the words out and when he finally did speak the words came out slurred, "Annaphlactastical"
"Anaphylactic shock?" Reid nodded.
"I's call' 'iphasic rea'tion "
"Reid, I don't know what you're saying but I'm going to call an ambulance before I have to give you CPR." Morgan jumped up and started dialing 9-1-1 on his phone. Reid needed him.
"9-1-1, what's your emergency?" asked the woman who answered the phone.
"My name is Derek Morgan, I work for the FBI and my friend, Spencer Reid, is going into anaphylactic shock." Said Morgan trying not to panic. He knew what it was like to be on the other line of the phone, stressing was only going to make the situation worse.
"Where are you located?" the calm operator asked.
"On the corner of Chandler and 54th." He tried to match her tranquil voice but he was feeling himself beginning to panic a little bit. This wasn't an unknown victim, this was Reid.
"Sir, do you know what his allergy is?" she asked.
"No." Morgan looked down to see Reid's face turning blue; he then looked down and saw something else, "Yes."
"So you do know?" she asked confused by his contradicting answers.
"I think it's latex." He said examining the red blotches on Reid's wrist that followed down into the gloves. He ripped them off from Spencer's hands.
"Alright sir, help is on its way." Reid didn't have that long, he needed help now. Morgan hung up the phone and straddled Reid. He pushed down on his chest and then began to breathe into the boy's opened mouth. CPR was fortunately basic training in every job he had ever had. It was no use, Spencer slipped into unconsciousness.
"Come on Reid, stay with me." His face had gained some normalcy but the majority of it still looked off color. Three minutes later a team of EMTs stormed in and shot Reid in the leg with a needle. In a couple of seconds Spencer's eyes shot open and he gasped for breath. The entire room seemed to freeze until Spencer looked at Derek and began talking like he hadn't just had a near death experience.
"I guess someone is going to need to talk to Hotch about switching to latex free gloves." Said Reid as an EMT began to check out the rest of him. His blood pressure was stable and he seemed to be doing okay. "Oh, as I was saying only twenty percent of people experience what just happened to me. It's called a biphasic reaction and it's fairly rare but is a serious problem when it comes to allergies. It's because people think they're better and that it was just a coughing attack but a couple hours later they won't be able to breathe and they go into shock. Just like what happened to me. I think I'm okay but then I can't get any air."
Morgan smiled as Reid explained everything about biphasic reaction to him. It was normal and it reassured him that the boy was going to be okay. When Reid finished he looked up at Derek with sincere eyes.
"Thanks Morgan, you know, for everything."
"Anytime Kid." The older man said smiling; he let his hand rest gently on Reid's shoulder. A loving signal to show that he cared.
