JJ sat down in the waiting room with the others as Garcia walked out to go to Morgan. She wondered what could be so bad that the team was silent and stoic in this room. Morgan was already released from the hospital and Reid wasn't supposed to be in too bad of shape. But soon a doctor walked into the room and announced, "Dr. Reid."

The entire team stood. The doctor nodded at each member of the team before saying, "I'm Dr. Tubbs, and I've been taking care of Dr. Reid. He's in a bit of pain, but he hasn't sustained any serious injuries. You have requested a SARK, and he requested that he have someone with him while we do the kit."

JJ sighed when she realized what everyone was so worried about. Hotch nodded his head and said, "JJ, will you go back with him?"

"Of course."

The doctor led the way out of the waiting room and into the examining room. Before entering the room where Spencer was the doctor stopped and turned to JJ. "He has refused pain medication. He told us that there is a problem with narcotics, but he is still refusing any pain medication. The rape kit is going to cause a bit of pain and anxiety that I would like to spare him. Do you think you can convince him to allow us to give him something?"

"I can try," JJ replied walking into the room where Reid was.

Reid was lying on an exam table and he tried to bring a smile to his face when he saw JJ. She rushed to his side and grabbed his hand. "Oh Spence, you look awful. What happened to you?"

"You don't know?"

"No, Garcia and I just got here and then Hotch asked me to come be with you."

"Of course. He wants to send a woman so I'm not intimidated, and he doesn't tell you anything so I'll talk."

"I don't what his reasoning is, I'm not a profiler. I just know that something horrible is going on, and I don't know what it is. I'm scared, Spence. They said they were about to perform a SARK."

Reid grew silent and began to draw into himself before finally saying with a quiet voice, "I didn't want to be alone for it, I hope it's not too awkward for you. I thought Hotch or Rossi would come."

"I want to be here for you Reid. Are you okay with it being me in here with you? I won't be able to see anything? I'll be right here by your head."

"No, that's fine."

"Spence, the doctor said you are in pain, are you?"

"Everything hurts. My head hurts where he hit me over the head and my wrists hurt where they were chained. My back hurts and my bottom is on fire."

"But you won't take any pain medication? The doctor said the SARK will be uncomfortable, and he really wants you take something. It will be non-narcotic and I'll be here to take care of you. When this is all over I want you to come home and let me and Henry take care of you."

"Henry?"

"He's a caring kid. If he knows his Spence is hurt he won't let me rest until I've done everything to make it better."

With a chuckle Reid said, "Thanks. That will be nice."

"Now, what about the pain medication? Please don't be in unnecessary pain."

"You'll make sure it doesn't get out of control?"

"Of course."

"Okay."

"Thanks. Now will you tell me what happened to you? You don't have to tell me about the unsub raping you, but what happened?"

"The unsub didn't rape me. There was no rape."

"But Spence…" JJ interrupted thinking that Reid was trying to deny his experience. But Reid interrupted her, "He was going to kill Morgan if he didn't do it. When I regained consciousness we were naked and chained together to a bed. The un-sub demanded that Morgan fuck me. He kept a gun on Morgan the whole time. Morgan wanted him to shoot him, but I fought with Morgan. I couldn't let Morgan die and have something more awful happen to me. So Morgan and I had sex while the unsub watched."

"Oh God Spence. I'm so sorry."

"I'm okay Jayje. I'm worried about Morgan. He was totally unresponsive when Hotch found us."

"Garcia is with him. She's going to take him to her apartment and stay with him."

"I need to see him."

"I'll take you to Garcia's as soon as you are released."

Dr. Tubbs then walked in and asked, "Dr. Reid has your coworker helped you decide on some pain meds?"

"Yes, I'll take something. Not a narcotic and not too strong."

"Good. I'll be right back."

Reid's face was full of terror. JJ ran her hand through his hair and said, "It's going to be okay. I will take care of you. This won't get out of hand."

Reid just nodded and stared at the ceiling in silence until Dr. Tubbs returned to the room with a syringe in his hand. "This is just a little bit of pain reliever to take the edge off. I'll write you a prescription for the next couple of days."

Reid just nodded his head. Dr. Tubbs emptied the contents of the syringe into Reid's arm. Soon Reid's breathing became slow and deep and his eye glazed over. JJ leaned closer to Reid's ear and asked, "Do you feel better?"

As Reid tried to wipe a tear from his eye he nodded his head and said, "Yeah I feel real good."

"It's going to be okay."

"I know."

During this time Dr. Tubbs was walking around the room gathering the instruments that he would need to perform a rape kit. He turned to Reid and said, "Okay, now can you put your feet into these stirrups and scoot down on the table?"

With the help of Dr. Tubbs, Reid got his gangly limbs into position and scooted to the end of the table. Dr. Tubbs then positioned herself in between Reid's legs and said, "You are going to feel some pressure as the speculum goes in, okay? Are you ready?"

Reid nodded his head. As the doctor began with the procedure Reid winced in pain. Tears poured from his eyes. JJ held his hand and tried to comfort him, but to no avail. Reid soon started to cry, "Get it out! Take it out! I need it out!"

JJ tried to tell him to be calm, it would all be over soon, but Dr. Tubbs stood up and said, "Dr. Reid, I know you are uncomfortable, but I'd like to put in a couple of stitches to prevent infection. I'm going to numb the area so you won't be in any pain. It will just take a couple of minutes."

Reid continued to cry, "Oh God, just make it stop."

JJ's comforting words and touches seemed to have no affect on Reid. Soon Dr. Tubbs announced she was going to give him a shot of lidocaine and it would burn for a moment. Then he administered the medication and Reid screamed in pain. He felt like fire was spreading from his anal passage to his groin and through his abdomen. Eventually numbness replaced the burning and Reid stopped screaming. He returned to quiet tears and leaned his head into JJ's touches. His body was shaking so much JJ was worried that the doctor wouldn't be able to place the stitches in the correct place, but in no time at all Dr. Tubbs stood and said, "That was just two dissolvable stitches. Let me help you out of these stirrups and I'll give you some time to yourself and to get dressed. I've placed some scrubs on the counter. I'll be back with your discharge and aftercare paperwork."

Reid nodded in Dr. Tubbs' direction and winced as he sat up keeping the sheet wrapped around him. JJ went to pick up the scrubs to hand them to Reid. She asked, "Do you want me to leave the room while you get dress?"

"No! Don't leave!" Reid exclaimed.

"It's okay, I won't go anywhere."

"I'm sorry. I just need this day to be over. Could you just… I guess turn your back for a moment."

"Of course."

JJ turned her back to Reid, as he got dressed as quickly as his sore and drugged body would allow. When he was finished he said, "Okay." JJ helped him sit on the side of the examination table and then sat next to him with her arm around his shoulder. He leaned into her embrace and said, "I'm sorry that was so traumatizing. I don't know what came over me."

"Don't apologize, Spence. I can only imagine what you are going through. No one is supposed to be back there and two people have invaded that space for you today. You should be able to trust both of the people that were there, but they both just brought you pain."

"It wasn't his fault though. I need everyone to understand that. It wasn't his fault. The unsub gave him an impossible choice and I made him make this decision."

"I know that, Spence. I didn't mean to make it sound any different. I know Morgan had no choice. I know how worried you are about him. Just worry about yourself a little too, okay?"

"Yeah."

Dr. Tubbs returned and handed JJ a stack of paperwork before saying, "I'm giving you the paperwork since you don't have a pain reliever cloud over your head at the moment. Now Dr. Reid, I want you to take it easy for the next two or three days. I've given you a prescription for pain reliever for those two or three days. Please take them. I'd also like you to eat a high fiber diet and take stool softeners for the next few weeks. If there is a lot of pain or bleeding during bowel movements return here to the emergency room or to your doctor immediately. Do either of you have any questions?"

JJ replied, "No thank you Doctor."

Reid just shook his head. He longingly looked at JJ and said, "JJ get me out of here. I need to get to Morgan."
