CHAPTER ONE
"Look, you're supposed to keep an eye on her, not me. I've been busy, with my own life now, I'm not-" He was cut off by a fast talking on the other end.
Hotch turned in his bed as the voice started up again.
"What?!" It almost yelled but quickly quieted down. "What do you mean you don't know where she is? You mean she escaped?"
More talking on the other end, "No, you need to find her. Now. I can handle my end here. I-I know, don't worry. Just-just yeah, yeah you too, Jake, bye."
Dr. Spencer Reid sighed as he closed his phone and trudged back to bed.
"Who was that?" Asked Aaron Hotchner from their king bed.
Spencer slid into the bed, setting his phone on the nightstand, and curled up against his three-year long lover. He shook his head against Aaron's chest, "It was nothing, just go back to sleep."
Aaron yawned and snaked his arms around Spencer's slim waist and pulled him closer, "It sounded important…" Aaron drawled.
Reid hummed and just stared forward, tracing every scar on his lover's abdomen. The rhythm of his tracing and the steady heartbeat of Aaron's heart started to lull him to sleep, though his nerves were wired with the news he just received. This can't be happening to me…not now…she'll take everything from me…Aaron…Spencer stopped tracing and hugged Aaron close, taking in his scent. "I love you." He mumbled into Aaron's chest.
Aaron nestled down and kissed the top of Spencer's head, "Love you too…" he hummed in response.

Lying is easy, especially when it's for a job. The lies always slip off your tongue so easily it's sometimes scary, but those are the lies that are believable. But the lies you tell to ones close to you, to ones you love are always the hardest. The fear of being caught in one of those lies, the fear of one of those lies coming to life and haunting those around you, and the fear of one of those lies that you use to cover a secret, being revealed coming out and hurting those close to you. That is my fear. I understand why Prentiss did what she did, for I am in the same position. I have a past, a past which I prefer to keep hidden, but that's useless now. I understand why Hotch and JJ lied to cover for Prentiss; it was to save us, her family, from her past. My past is no different. I lie to cover my mistakes, to shield my team, my family, from my past-my old life. My name is Dr. Spencer Reid, and my old life is coming back to haunt me and my family. Though, that's not the whole truth. My name, my true name is Dr. Spencer James, and my life has just gotten far more complicated then it has ever been before because, right now, me and several other people are being hunted down by someone whom we believed to be securely locked away in Siberia. That someone used to be one of us-that someone is the best of all of us, who knows everyone of us and our tacts-that someone is coming after me because I threw that person away for betraying us. Now, that person is out for blood, and won't stop till they get it. I am so screwed!

Spencer Reid rubbed his eyes as he headed to the elevator alone. Aaron Hotchner, his lover and unit chief, had left early this morning for an early morning meeting with Strauss. Reid yawned as he pressed the up arrow for the elevator.
"Hey, mornin', Pretty Boy!" Derek Morgan exclaimed from behind Reid, causing him to jump and give a small squeak. Morgan laughed and clapped Reid on the shoulder. "Sorry 'bout that." Reid just nodded and pinched the bridge of his nose. Morgan looked down at his young friend and saw the circles under his eyes were darker then normal and there was more tension in his slumped shoulders. "Hey, you okay?" He asked as they stepped into the elevator.
Reid looked up at Morgan, "Hm?"
Morgan quirked an eyebrow, "You okay? You don't look too good."
Reid just shrugged and looked forward again, "Yeah. I'm fine. Nothings wrong."
Morgan narrowed his eyes, then interpreted the quick dismissive response as something else and smirked, "Oh! I see!"
Reid looked back up at Morgan, confused. "What?"
The elevator doors opened and they started walking toward the bullpen. Morgan leaned down and whispered in Reid's ear, "Hotch kept you up all night, didn't he?" He smirked as he saw the light blush appear on the young doctor's face. Morgan stood up straight and barked a laugh.
Spencer rolled his eyes and glared at Morgan, "At least I can have a stable relationship." He bit back.
Prentiss snorted a chuckle as she tried to continue her work, "Morgan? In a relationship period is just funny and hard to imagine."
"Did I just hear something about Morgan being in a stable relationship? That can't be!" JJ announced herself as she walked in from the break room.
"It's not." Rossi said as he entered the BAU with a coffee cup in his hand.
Morgan glared at all of them as they started laughing, "Alright, alright, how bout we get back to work, huh?" He said as he passed all of them and headed toward his office.
"You do work now?" he heard Reid quip.
Morgan turned around and glared and Reid, who was now sticking his nose into a file, trying to hide a ghost of a smile. Morgan just rolled his eyes and continued to his office.
Five hours of nonstop paperwork went by, and nothing truly exciting happened. A few jokes thrown around and some teasing, causing blushes and spilled coffee, but nothing truly out of the ordinary. Morgan came out of his office at one point to tell them that he had had a stable relationship once, which caused some laughter and teasing about how that was in middle school. He then tried to avert the conversation to the new Chinese restaurant down the road and how they should go there for lunch, which is where they were now-lunch.
The team was getting ready to go out, with the exception of Hotch and Rossi, who were held up in their office, when Reid felt his phone vibrate. Reid narrowed his eyes at his pants pocket, getting a feeling that whoever it was, they didn't have any good news. He took out his phone and his eyes widened-it was a text message, from someone he hoped wouldn't contact him this early. Reid eyed his phone wearily before opening and looking at the simple message:
Need to meet. NOW
-HN
Reid's eyes narrowed and his heart sped up, blood was pumping so loudly in his ears that he didn't hear Morgan approach him, nor did he hear him call his name until Morgan placed a firm hand on Reid's shoulder. Reid started and quickly turned toward Morgan with wide eyes. Morgan chuckled a bit before looking at Reid's fearful eyes. "Hey, you okay?"
Reid numbly nodded as he placed his phone back in his pocket and started gathering his things. "Y-yeah. You just scared me is all."
Morgan saw the tenseness in Reid's shoulders and the stiff movements as Reid moved about. "Reid, you know you can talk to me, right?"
Reid sighed as he stopped his movements. I really wish I could, Morgan, I really wish I could. It'd be a hell of a lot easier. Reid nodded and continued to put his belongings in his bag. "It's-it's my mother," Reid lied, "She isn't taking her medication again." He muttered. Please don't ask more, I don't know if I can keep this up.
Morgan's eyes softened and he placed his hand back on Reid's shoulder, giving it a firm, comforting squeeze, "I'm sorry, man. Well, hey, how 'bout you take your mind off of it and come with us to lunch." Morgan suggested.
Reid sighed again and ran a hand through his hair, "I-thanks, but I-"
"Reid?"
Reid and Morgan looked up the stairs to see Hotch standing just outside of his office. "Yeah-" Reid cleared his throat, "Yes?"
"Can I see you for a minute?" Hotch asked as he nodded toward his office.
Reid nodded, "Y-yeah, I'll be up there in a minute." He turned back to Morgan, who had an eyebrow raised and was looking up at Hotch as the unit chief went back into his office, leaving the door open for Reid.
Morgan looked back at Reid and gave a small smile, "Guess that's a no on the lunch then?"
Reid gave a dry chuckle, "Yeah, guess so. Sorry."
Morgan shook his head, "Nah, it's fine, just, come talk to me if you need it, alright, Pretty Boy?" Morgan teased as he ruffled Reid's hair and left.
Reid smiled a little as he watched the rest of his team leave and talk animatedly amongst each other, not even showing how horrible their jobs really are on the outside, keeping it all to themselves. Reid sighed as he let his smile fall and he headed up to Hotch's office, but as he reached the door he felt his pocket vibrate again. He pulled out his cell phone and looked at it with trepidation:
NOW.
-HN
Reid sighed and hurriedly typed a message back:
Hold. Where?
-SJ
"Reid?" Hotch called from inside his office.
Reid quickly put his phone back into his pocket and went inside Hotch's office, spotting Hotch sitting at his desk per usual, and was looking worriedly at Reid. "You, uh, wanted to see me?"
Hotch got up from his desk and walked over to the door to close it before walking back over to Reid and putting his hands on Reid's shoulders, pulling the young genius closer before having their lips meet in a tender, sweet kiss.
Reid immediately felt most of his tension seep away as he melted in Hotch's touch, moving his hands to rest on Hotch's hips and pulling him even closer so their bodies were flushed against each other. Reid whimpered as Hotch pulled away, but stayed close to each other, and Hotch chuckled. Reid looked up at Hotch, "What was that for?"
Hotch shrugged, "For being you." Reid quirked an eyebrow and Hotch sighed. "Ever since you got that call earlier this morning you've been tense, distant, and jumpy," Reid gave Hotch a look and Hotch smiled, "More then usual. Is everything ok? Do you want to talk about it?"
More then you know. Reid thought as he sighed and remembered the lie he told Morgan, easily slipping it off his tongue again, "It's just my mother again. She's refusing medication." He looked down in shame, not liking how easy it was to lie to his boss, his lover, it wasn't right. It shouldn't be this easy. Reid felt Hotch squeeze his shoulders and looked up into those dark, caring, loving eyes, making Reid almost want to break down and tell him everything.
"Do you want to go out to lunch and talk about it there? That way we can get out of this work environment and just be ourselves." Hotch asked.
Reid smiled slightly and wound his arms around Hotch's waist and buried his face in his lover's shoulder, shaking his head slightly. "No, it's fine. Plus, Morgan asked me to go to lunch with them; I think they're downstairs waiting. Sorry." He lied.
Hotch nodded in understanding as he hugged Spencer tightly. "It's fine. We still have tonight. Jack's staying over at a friend's house so we have the house all to ourselves." Hotch informed huskily into Reid's ear causing a shiver to go down the young agent's spine.
Spencer leaned back a bit and looked into Aaron's partially lust glazed eyes, "Oh really? Well then, we have all night to talk, don't we?" He replied, hoping to divert the conversation to something less complicated. Spencer leaned in and kissed Aaron quickly and looked at the clock on the desk. He needed to go. He leaned away from the kiss and smiled, "I better go, Morgan's probably waiting for me, and you know how impatient he can be." He winked and tried to get out of Hotch's grasp but it just tightened.
"He's not the only one." Growled Hotch.
Reid just chuckled and kissed Hotch lightly on the lips before weaving his way out of the possessive grasp. "I'll see you later." He winked again and strode out of the office and to his desk to grab his bag and jacket. As he was heading down the stairs he felt his phone vibrate again and he took it out immediately:
Diner. South your local.
-HN
Reid put his phone back in his pocket, grabbed his things and went to the elevators, fingering the keys in his pocket. Sorry, Aaron, I'm going to need to borrow your car for a little bit.
