I owns nothing.

"Spencer? Spencer, are you there!" The world was slowly spiraling, and suddenly everything made sense. Of course, why hadn't he thought of that sooner?

….

A 8 year old Reid scanned his eyes over the pages quickly, a smile spreading on his face as he took in more knowledge. He never did understand why most kids hated reading. It was an escape, and each book was like an adventure without the dangers.

"Spency~ Let's go play!" Spencer look up, his smile fading slightly. Timothy waved him over, a pleading look on his face. He really didn't want to, but….Timothy was pretty much his only friend, and if he wanted him to play, he was supposed to, wasn't he? Isn't that how it worked?

"Ok, Timmy. But I have to finish the book and return it to the library before I go home…" Little Timmy looked at the book, taking note that it was only half read.

Frowning, he said "It's okay, why don't you finish it now? I have a book I want to read too…." Reid tilted his head, but soon nodded, a bit of energy seeping into his system once again.

He picked up his book and started reading again, getting lost in the history of Latin America. He glanced at Timothy out of the corner of his eye and noticed him trying to read at a fast pace. It clearly wasn't working out well, and Reid had to bite back a laugh. Why would anyone want to read that fast?

Oh wait, he did…

….

Spencer called his home phone number, but neither of his parents picked up. His dad was away at "work" most likely, and his mom….Well, she didn't really need to be explained.

After calling a few more times to be sure, Reid hung up and started the trek home. It was safer to walk the streets then it was to take the bus. At least for him.

The bus just meant more teasing, bullying, and the occasional family bashing…. And that was only the tip of the ice burg. You know, the part that sticks out of the water, when really there is a whole mountain underneath it?

The was home typically took around 23 minutes and 48 seconds, but Reid felt like walking exceptionally slowly today. He didn't have a reason why; many would say he didn't like his family, that he didn't want to see them, but that was wrong.

Sure, he wasn't the biggest fan of what his father did, but he was still his dad. And maybe his mom had major issues, she was his mother! She gave birth to him for goodness sakes!

No, he had no reason to go slow. He just wanted a calming walk by himself. Maybe an 8 year old shouldn't be walking the street that long by himself, but he was different. He had enough knowledge and to avoid any dangers. Or so he thought.

…

After walking for a good 15 minutes, Spencer came across an abandoned park. It seemed to be in good shape, and the idea seemed too good to pass up. A park in good shape, with no one around to make fun of him? Perfect.

He walked over and sat on a swing, using his legs to walk backwards. Going as far back as he could, he let his legs up and the swing slid, propelling him forward. He kicked his legs, progressively getting higher and higher.

He felt a laugh start to bubbled forth, and it felt so good to let it out. A moment later, something was on his sides and he was simply watching the swing rock and shake by itself.

A scream tor itself from his lips as he realized he hadn't simply fallen, he had been grabbed. He squirmed, turning his head to look at his kidnapper. More dread filled him when all he saw was a white mask. Swallowing, he tried screaming louder, but it was futile. There was no one around.

A piece of cloth covered his mouth, and the world started to fade as he accidentally breathed it in.

"M-Mom…."

All faded to black.

…

1st, keep in mind that Reid's dad left when he was 10, hence why he is still present at this time.

Ok, so….what did you think? Most of the next few chapters are going to be flashback continuations of this story, and then we still have to deal with the dang Unsub…. SO we still got some adventure ahead of us (laughs evilly)

Sooo, part of the reason I took a lil longer then I hoped was because of reviews. I got less then normal, and it took longer to get them. But I figured, who cares that much, right? I like the story, and I wanted to right it, so I am haha. The reviews are just icing on the cake that let me know it was worth the time to bake it…

So anyway, I thank all readers, reviewers, and alerters. THANKS!
