AN: I realize that I haven't written an author's note of any kind saying that things don't belong to me and the like. Let's put it this way, if you actually think anything other than a box set of Buffy season 6 belongs to me then you are most likely on some form of lsd. Also I have realized that haven't without the 't part is haven.

CHPTR 5-Criminal Minds + Tony

Morgan, Reid, Hotch, and Rossi went straight to the new crime scene. The others were setting up at the local police station. Hotch approached the officer in charge. "FBI Special Agent Aren Hotchner. What have we got?"

"Civilian called it in 30 minutes ago. One D.B. Throat slashed. No identification. No witnesses."

"Where is the civilian?"

"In a tree"

"What?"

"He won't come down, said he went for a jog this morning and climbed the tree to clear his head. Saw our Vic and asked another jogger to call 911. He never left the tree. He said something about not wanting to contaminate the scene."

"We'll take it from here thank you." Hotch turned to Reid and Morgan but they had already moved to the large mulberry tree the officer had pointed to.

Morgan turned to Reid, "you got any ideas pretty boy?" Spencer grinned.

"Hold this" Spencer passed him his bag and began to climb.

"Spencer! Get down; you're going to hurt yourself!" Morgan yelled.

"It's fine Derek. I've done this a lot." Spencer smiled down at him.

He finally reached a branch just a few feet from the man. "Hey" he smiled gently. The man looked skittish. He had blonde-ish hair and green eyes. "What's your name?"

"Tony"

"Want to tell me what happened?"

Tony told him all the details starting from not being able to sleep to finding the body from his view in the tree. He had been thinking about Gibbs and jogging had been the only way he could think of stopping himself from running back to a place he knew he was not wanted. He had seen the tree and remembered being a kid and climbing trees outside his house to avoid his father. Apon getting as high as he was willing to go he had looked about for awhile before his eyes landed on what at first looked like someone resting in a large pile of leaves. When the winds had shifted he had known the man was dead. When he finished he smiled sheepishly and asked "I'm your main suspect right? I only got in town 3 hours ago, don't know if that helps."

"It does actually, you want to come out of the tree and maybe get some coffee?"

"Not really, life is kind of hating me lately." Reid laughed.

"What?" Tony asked, slightly affronted.

"Nothing it's just that I've been life's wiping boy for a while now."

"Really? I was captured and tortured to help save a woman that still doesn't trust me."

"I was captured by a paranoid schizophrenic, tortured and addicted to drugs for several days."

"I was infected with pneumonic plague and almost died because a girl lied to her mom."

"I was exposed to anthrax by some guy that was trying to prove that our security wasn't as good as it could be"

"I was shot in the arm after being stuck in a shipping container all day."

"I was shot by an unsub while trying to protect his target."

Tony put on his best James Bond voice. "The things I do for England"

Reid laughed "Was that James Bond? I've never seen them."

Tony was shocked "This is something we must fix, good thing I brought them all with me."

Spencer grinned. "Ready to climb down now?"

Tony sighed and nodded.

When they got down tony hugged Reid and left his arm slung over Reid's shoulders. Morgan made a low growl when he saw this but no one heard. Spencer introduced him to the team and told them Tony had an alibi for the other murders which made Tony confused. He reasoned that there must be a serial killer of some kind. Tony stepped closer to the body to get a better look and dropped his grip on his new friend. This pleased Morgan greatly. He didn't want anyone touching his pretty boy.

"Hey he's from the navy. Are all the victims' members of the armed forces?"

Hotch nodded "All from the navy actually, but so far none have served together." Morgan stated, he had been giving Tony the evil eye ever since he touched Reid.

"You should see if any of them had shore leave at the same time in the same place." Tony suggested.

"Thanks" said Reid. "How do you know that?"

Tony shrugged "I used to work at a job in the navy."

"You're going to need to stay in town." Hotch said. Tony noticed that his expression had yet to change since meeting him; he began to wonder if the look of absolute seriousness was a permanent condition.

"I know" said Tony "Here's my hotel address, you can reach me there, or on …never mind." Tony had thrown his phone out the window about a block from NCIS "see you later Spencer for the bond marathon."

Reid blushed and stammered a yeah before Tony left. Morgan turned to him "what the hell Spence, he's a possible suspect! You can't be going on dates with him; I didn't even know you swung that way." The last was more muttered to himself.

Reid was pissed. "It's not a date! And he has an alibi. And you never cared enough to ask so what does it matter?"

"It matters because I'm your friend and you should be able to tell me these things without me having to ask, I thought you trusted me Spence." Morgan looked hurt and turned away, back to the case.
