Reid slammed the door shut behind him and stormed down the corridor towards the bathroom. He splashed some water over his face, rubbed his eyes and looked at himself in the mirror. Even he couldn't deny how bad he looked. A few minutes earlier his skin was a healthy flush of pink even with his pale complexion, now it had gone almost as pale as it was when he was on Dilaudid, it was even taking on a tint of grey.

"A sister" He whispered to himself as he rubbed his eyes harder and reached for a paper towel. When he thought about it, the story the team had tried to tell him was very possible… But was it true? In his heart Reid wanted it to be a mistake, a very big coincidence that boiled down to common names and a computer glitch that had made his mom and Desiree's mom appear as one person when really they were different people.

But logically Reid knew the odds. A computer error was exceedingly unlikely to make a mistake of that nature and two couples living in the same city with identical names involved in that sort of error made the chances near impossible.

"I've got a sister" He whispered to himself as he dabbed the water droplets off his face. Desiree went missing in 1979; Reid was born in 1981- she'd be nine years older than him. He thought about his mom having a daughter, his dad having his little angel. He knew from looking into his mother's medical records that she was diagnosed schizophrenic in January 1980 which was just after the six month anniversary of Desiree's disappearance. Stress is a common factor in most mental health problems, including schizophrenia.

"Desiree" He said as he stared himself down in the mirror. "Desiree Reid" He said again. He thought about her now; a blonde haired, blued eyed grown woman from Las Vegas- his sister. When he thought back he could remember asking his mom if he could have a baby sister like his friend had. He wanted to be like the other kids so bad until his dad left when he was ten and he stopped asking his mom.

He noticed a little bit of colour return to his skin but he knew it was only anger from thinking about his dad. Despite the issues being resolved over Riley Jenkins' death he was still bitter about him being left to deal with his mom, he was a kid and even though he loved his mom he shouldn't have been left with that responsibility.

He thought about what life would have been like if Desiree hadn't gone missing. Maybe they would have gone on to have him, anyway. They would have been the all American family, he thought. His mom would have never developed schizophrenia, both parents would have held down steady jobs and Desiree and Spencer would have grown up in a normal household.

He couldn't help wonder if Desiree was smarter than him; whether she had a higher IQ, whether she could read fast or play chess better. Already the sibling rivalry was coming into play and he couldn't help the little smile that wrote itself across his face.

He roughly pushed a few strands of hair that had fallen into his face away and took a deep breath- he promised himself he wasn't going to have another meltdown, especially in front of the whole team.

He gave himself one last look in the mirror and, all though he was still a little paler than before, he looked respectable so he grabbed the door handle and left the bathroom.

On his way back up to the room the team were in Morgan rushed into him and almost sent him flying. "Where've you been, man?" Morgan blurted out, grabbed his arm and began pulling him along the corridor.

"Where are we going?" Reid asked, the pitch of his voice significantly increased as he attempted to keep up with Morgan's fast pace and tugs on his arm.

Morgan flashed him a grin, laughed a little and said cheerfully "We're going to get your sister, pretty boy"

Sorry this one is short; I just wanted to give everyone a little look into Reid's perspective on everything. This is turning into one of my favourite fics I've ever written and I think it's probably down to you guys giving me such great constructive criticism and just generally nice feedback. I'm getting addicted to writing for you guys and it's just so much fun reading your reviews, it means so much so please keep them coming so I can give you more of what you like. Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter :)
