"Hey guys I think that he's starting to wake up," the soft voice said.

Reid felt himself being pulled away from his peaceful slumber by an array of noises. The most prominent was the voice that had first pierced his veil of silence. He opened his eyes to see his team surrounding his bed, he was surprised to see them all albeit Garcia wasn't there.

"What happened?" Reid groaned before pulling himself up slightly, he felt a swift wave of dizziness but managed to work his way through it.

"What do you remember?" Morgan asked.

"You guys saved me and then going into the shelter. Was I bleeding?" Reid asked confused, his mind was slightly scattered. He remembered blood on some cloth and then after that was a slight blur.

"You moaned that your leg was hurting you. The doctor said you have some deep and painful bruising but you managed to get away with anything being broken. You have a head wound that you seemed surprised at. You didn't know you even had it. The left side of your face looks like you went a couple rounds with a boxer and apart from some minor dehydration you are alright," JJ explained before holding his hand.

"I'm sorry," Reid said. Everyone stared at him in shock when he heard the words come from his mouth.

"Reid you have nothing to be sorry for," Emily told him.

"I wasn't quick enough to get to my gun, I knew there was something wrong but I was too slow. He caught me because I didn't react quick enough. I almost got you killed," Reid said apologetically as he face JJ and Morgan.

"Reid it wasn't your fault. Your safe now and thats all that matters," JJ told him. The tone of her voice was one that Reid knew he shouldn't argue with.

"Thank you again for saving me, I hate to admit it but I was scared. I thought I was going to die when he brought the axe out," Reid told them sadly.

"Did he do anything else to you?" Hotch asked. He wanted to know Reid's state of mind and he needed to know what happened during Reid's time with the unsub.

"He came up to me on the street wanting some directions, I knew that he fitted the profile but he smacked me round the face with his crowbar before I could do anythiing. I woke up in his RV bound and with tape over my mouth, he put ice on my face. He thought I was his big brother. I tried to struggle but he grabbed my chin and held my head still. After that he went into the back of the RV for a few minutes and then he came out and-" Reid stopped as he remembered how the unsub had tried to put him in the box.

"Reid? Your safe now, what happened?" Hotch assured him.

"He opened a large box and when he tried to grab me and put me in it I tried to fight back, I managed to smack him in the face but that just made him angry. I just didn't want to go in the box, it looked too much like a coffin. All I could think about was Georgia. He came back with the crowbar and smashed it down on my leg, I screamed. After that he was asking me if I remembered things that he had done with the past with his brother. He opened the other box and I saw the body parts together," Reid told them before shaking off another wave of dizziness.

"I tired to fight him but he gripped my hands and legs and put inside the box. I was so thankful that there were a few holes so some light could come in. He started to go toward the tornado. I panicked when I was in the box, it was just so small and confining like a coffin. When the RV stopped he opened the box, I struggled and that was when he smacked my head against the side of the box. I guess that was where I got my wound. You guys pretty much know the rest," Reid finished.

"Reid I'm sorry we didn't find you sooner. The only reason we were able to find you was because of the theory you left with us, you gave us the missing piece we needed," Morgan smiled trying to give Reid a boost.

"I'm sorry I was scared."

"Reid you are strong and not weak, being scared is what helps us empathise with the victims easier. We've all been scared, we were all scared for you when you were taken. It's what makes us human Reid," Hotch smiled at him.

Reid found the words slightly soothing.

"I'm tired. Is it okay if I go back to sleep?" Reid asked not wanting to offend the team.

"Rest Reid and we'll be here when you wake up," JJ smiled at him. She watched him fall asleep and couldn't help but feel reminded of Henry. They both looked so innocent when they slept.

"Is he going to okay?" JJ asked Hotch.

"Family looks out for each other, if he needs help we'll be there. No matter what," Morgan told her before Hotch could say a word.

Reid was strong and Morgan knew he could make it through this. His little brother would be fine.
