Spencer waited anxiously in the conference room for the rest of his team to show up.

They had always been there for each other. The good times and the bad. They were a family. One of the best teams there was. They did have their moments of difference of option, but somehow everything worked out in the end.

Hotch and the others filed in the room and took their seats. Even Penelope Garcia, which was a surprise as she didn't like to leave her precious computers behind for anything.

Something other than his own meeting must be up, otherwise why would she be here? Spencer thought to himself, but quickly let that thought go,

He looked at the faces of those who had been his second family for so long and began to speak

"I need your help." He paused a moment "My sister has disappeared and I think she's been kidnapped so…."

But before he could explain everything he had discovered, Hotch shook his head and spoke "No"

Spencer looked at him with disbelief "What do you mean no"

Hotch stood up "I said no. We are not babysitters who are going to go and track down an emotional unstable fourteen year old teenager. You have no proof that she's been kidnapped and we are not going to waste our time looking for her when we have more important cases to deal with"

Spencer clutched the papers and cell phone in his hand "I have all the proof we need here in my hand and for your information my sister is not an emotional unstable teenager. I've done the best I can and she would never leave without telling me"

"You are out of line Reid!" Hotch said angrily. "As long as you are on my team you will do as I say, now sit down so JJ can brief us on our next case"

Spencer couldn't believe what was happening.

Instead of doing as he was told, he turned on his heel and left the room.

Hotch looked at everyone "If I find anyone of you is helping him, you will off the team and I will guarantee that you will no longer be working here.

Penelope Garcia spoke up "How hard is it to help him out? We're a family. We are always there for each other"

"Enough" Hotch snapped "JJ please brief us on the next case"

The rest of the team looked at each other "It looked as if Hotch had gone off the deep end and there was nothing they could to do to help their friend.

Spencer was more angry then hurt when he approached Strauss office. He knocked and went in without waiting for an answer"

Strauss look up in amazement and shock.

Spencer wasted no time and got down to business

"I need to take a leave of absence immediately and indefinitely" he told her

"This is going out of the chain of command you need to speak with Aaron Hotchner first and then proceed from there" Strauss started to explain, but Spencer cut her off

"I can guarantee that Hotch will reject my request, so I'm going to waste my breath or the precious time I have on him" Spencer informed her

Strauss raised an eyebrow "He has a good reason to refuse" she began "He wants you to switch jobs with him and….."

Spencer sat down in shock for a few moments for forgot why he was there.

"Switch with me? Why? Morgan or Rossi should switch with him not me! Besides I have other obligations at home."

"Well you are very qualified for the position and it would" Strauss started to say, but again was cut off

"My sister has vanished and I have a feeling she's been kidnapped" Spencer interrupted quickly changing the subject. "I asked my team to help and Hotch has refused. Please let me look for her. We just have each other. "

Strauss looked at the young man before her. She had known of Spencer's home life and hadn't wanted to make a switch, but Hotch was relentless and would not give up until she had given in.

She pulled a form from her desk and quickly filled it out then pushed it towards Spencer

"Finish filling it out and I think it may be best for you to switch teams upon your return. "

Spencer looked up "What if none are willing to switch?"

Now Strauss looked uncomfortable "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it" She stated and indicated for Spencer to finish filling out the form.

Once done Spencer signed it and handed it back to Strauss.

As he turned to go she called out his name "Spencer"

He turned and looked back

"Good Luck"

Spencer nodded and quickly left.

Hotch watched as the youngest member of his team fled from the building then went storming into Stauss's office.

"Why did you let him leave?" he demanded "This is insubordination and I won't stand for it"

Strauss glared at him "Hotcher you are out of line:

Hotch backed down "If he returns I want him off my team" he snapped and left the office returning to his own

Strauss got up and went to her door and locked it

She had enough with people just barging in her office and having the nerve to try and tell her that she was out of line"

Once in his own office, Hotch did the same as Strauss, but instead of just locking his door, he picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Hailey I have some bad news and you're not going to like it"

Luckily she didn't answer the phone/

Hell have no fury like a women who is pregnant and cannot have her way.
