Hotch watched as Reid got up. He looked at Hotch, and gave him a small smile.
"How did you sleep?" Hotch asked. "Good. Where's Morgan?" Reid asked.
"He had to go home." Hotch sat beside Reid.
"Can we talk?" He asked.
Reid gave him a nervous look.
He nodded.
"We arrested Bill. But the police need a statement from you." Reid fidgeted with his hands.
"I know you're afraid, but I will be there with you." Hotch put his hand on Reid's hand.
"Alright." Hotch smiled at him, and Reid gave him a small smile back.
They entered the police station, and Hotch looked around for the two officers he met before. He saw the female one walk up to him, and he gave her smile.
"Agent Hotchner." She gestured for him to follow her.
They walked up to a desk, and Hotch was happy there wasn't many people in the room. He hoped Reid wouldn't get upset, but if he did, he didn't want anybody watching him. They sat down, and Hotch grabbed Reid's hand. The police officer smiled at them.
"I'm Wendy, and you're Spencer, right?" She smiled at him.
Reid nodded. Hotch was happy she was nice, they could have got a strict officer.
"I know it's hard to talk about it, but it will help us put him in jail." Reid nodded again.
"Can you start from the start?" Reid took a deep breath.
"H-He drove us home after we were finished at the bar, a-and he gave me water, and I got really tired, and I fell asleep. When I woke up, he w-was on top of me, a-and he was touching me." Reid felt tears in his eyes.
Hotch gently stroked his hand.
"He yelled at me to be quiet and he started touching me down there." Reid focused on the floor, feeling embarrassed.
Reid breathed in deeply.
"He put himself inside of me." Reid began to cry, and Hotch wrapped his arm around him. "
"It's alright, I'm here." Hotch whispered.
"You are very brave, thank you for telling me that." Wendy smiled at him.
"He's going to go to jail for a long time. I'm really sorry this happened to you." She said.
"Thank you for coming in." She stood up, and smiled at Hotch. Hotch returned the smile, and went closer to Reid.
"We can go home now, you did a really good job." Reid pushed away the tears, and stood up.
They walked out of the station, and got into the car. Reid was silent the whole way back, and was focused on the floor of the car. As they walked up to Reid's apartment, Hotch noticed how exhausted Reid looked. He opened the door to Reid's apartment,
and walked inside.
"Thank you for being with me, Hotch." He said, and Hotch smiled at him.
"Of course." He said.
Reid watched him with a weird look, and Hotch raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you going home?" He asked.
"I'm not leaving you." He said firmly. Reid blushed a bit, and looked away.
"I'm really proud of you." Hotch said.
Reid gave him a confused look. "Why?" He asked.
"Because you told her what happened. You were really brave." Reid gazed up at Hotch, trying to see if he was being genuine.
All he could see was niceness and truth in his face, and he walked towards him, resting his head on his chest. Hotch wrapped his arms around Reid. Hotch knew it was going to be a long journey for Reid to heal, but he was going to be there.
