Firstly let me apologise for not being able to update this but my internet was gone for a while and I wasn't able to update. I'm very sorry.

I should have this finished by Sunday, I was going to post the rest of the chapters today but I have spotted a flaw in the plot and I have to go rewrite a few things. It's a whoops on my part.

I don't think this was some of my best writing but I hope you enjoy the chapter.

I don't own criminal minds, CBS does.

All mistakes are my own and reviews are great.

"Reid, you shouldn't have left the hospital. You should have found one of us" Emily told him as she took the gun from his hands. She looked up at him and saw how scared he looked. She swooped down and gave him a bear like hug, she just wanted him to be safe. Reid stayed in her arms for a few more moments before retreating to his own personal space.

"Why did you come here?" Rossi asked curiously. He knew that there were places much more safer than Emily's apartment.

"I feel safe here, I don't know why. They know where I work, they know where I live. I came here to try and get away from them" Reid explained before he tried to stand up, he started to sway slightly. Rossi quickly grabbed his arm and put a hand on the young genius's back to keep him upright.

"Woah easy Reid. Maybe you should sit on the couch" Rossi said. Reid nodded and relaxed into the sofa.

"Reid, what happened in the hospital?" Emily asked as she took as seat next to Reid. Reid closed his eyes and pinched his nose.

"I woke up in a room, they restrained me to the bed. I tried to call for help but they stopped me from calling out. They kept telling me that everything was going to be okay and it would be fine once they sent me to sleep. I closed my eyes and felt pressure in my head. Everything went loud for a moment and when I opened my eyes everyone was the floor and the room looked like a bomb had gone off. I ran out of the room and came here" Reid said quickly before he let out a small whine.

"What's wrong?" Emily asked as she began to rub his back to try and help him.

"My head hurts. I can-" Reid moaned before he stopped talking.

He wanted to tell them what was happening in his head but they would just think he was crazy. It hurt so much though, all the voices going through his mind were like knives. He wanted to sleep but he was afraid of waking up and being attacked again.

"Reid, what were you going to say? You can tell us, it's alright" Emily soothed. Reid looked up at her and saw her eyes. Her eyes looked so kind at that moment.

"They all hurt so much. They all sound different. I can hear voices and they hurt. I'm-I'm not crazy, I can even here you two" Reid almost whispered before holding his head again.

"Reid. What do you mean you can hear voices? Are they telling you to do things?" Rossi said. Reid didn't miss the worry in Rossi's voice.

Why did he tell them?

"No...I mean I can hear lots of voices. I think I can hear thoughts. Ever since the UNSUB injected me with that substance my head has felt like it is on fire. Emily was just thinking about my brain scan and whether she should put the gun away in the box. Rossi you think I may have had a mental break" Reid explained to them, he just wanted to try and tell someone what was happening to him.

Reid felt another stab of pain and yelped slightly. Reid slumped into Emily and she cradled him in her arms for a moment.

Emily looked over to Rossi, something about the way Rossi looked at her told her that what Reid had said was true. Part of her was telling herself that Reid couldn't possibly hear thoughts. It was impossible to do that. The part of her that cared for Reid told her to believe him. Emily was thoughtless for a moment before she remembered what had happened at the hospital. She had felt pain and saw Reid and her apartment in her head. She had seen the room's devastation before she had even entered it.

"Reid?" Emily asked, she wanted to talk to him about the hospital. She recieved no answer and looked down at Reid.

Reid had fallen asleep in her arms. Emily smoothed his hair slightly before she looked over to Rossi for help.

"Can you help me take him to the bedroom? He looks like death, what did they do him?" Emily sighed as she took one side of Reid while Rossi took the other. They both lifted him and were shocked at how light he was.

"He needs to eat more" Rossi observed.

"He needs life to give him a break" Emily said sadly before lifted up the cover and laid Reid on the bed. She tucked him in and made sure he was comfortable. He looked so innocent as he was in the bed. Emily just wanted to protect him from the world but she knew Reid would hate being coddled.

"What do you think?" Emily asked Rossi, she wanted to know his thoughts.

"I think that for the moment we should just focus on helping Reid. He was right about what I was thinking though but its not possible for him to be able to do what he said. I'm going to head back to the BAU and get the team on tracking the son of a bitch who attacked Reid the first time and the ones from the hospital. Are you going to be okay looking after him?" Rossi replied before letting out a little sigh.

He agreed with Emily though. Reid needed a break for once.

"I'll be fine, I'll call if anything happens. Go get the bastard who hurt him" Emily told him, her last few words sounding full of anger.

So what did you think?
