Sorry I haven't written anything in a while, I've had writer's block. I really wanted to write a chapter from Reid's point of view and this week's episode With Friends Like These… I got some inspiration from when Reid is sleeping on the plane after the case. Also, I've become really obsessed with Maroon 5 lately, so I just felt like putting that snippet in there. Hope you all like it.

Spencer Reid was exhausted. He couldn't tell if it was those headaches that have been going on the past couple of months or did they have something to do with losing Emily. He needed a conclusion.

It was because of the headaches – Emily's death was just some sort of extra strain that made it harder for him to concentrate on work or sleeping.

On the plane back from Portland, he somewhat managed to get some much needed sleep. Throughout the ride, he drifted between a deep sleep and simply lying awake on the couch. At one point he could hear Morgan telling someone to get some sleep. Opening his eyes slightly, he immediately knew that it was Seaver he was talking to because he could see Hotch and Rossi asleep from where he lay.

Closing his eyes again, he thought of the new agent. He wouldn't say it was pot calling the kettle black when he thought of how Seaver immediately joined the team after her graduation from the Academy to fill in Prentiss' role – seeing as he had been much younger when he joined and was also a certified genius. Then again, having Seaver come in as a probationary agent was all Strauss' idea. But still, would Seaver be able to manage filling those shoes with no prior experience in the FBI? Reid somewhat hoped so. Seaver pretty much lost Prentiss the way the rest of the team had, except for the fact that she hadn't known her for four and a half years. Plus, she had also become quite good friends with the rest of the team.

With these thoughts drifting through his head about his friend, Reid drifted back into sleep. Just then, Seaver was preparing herself to try and get some sleep for the rest of the plane ride. She had pulled out her iPod from her go-bag. Listening to Maroon 5 seemed to have some strange effect on her and often made her sleepy. Nevertheless, she loved the band, and had been to a couple of their concerts. Their newest single, "Never Gonna Leave This Bed" seemed to fit quite well at this moment.

As she placed the earbuds in her ears, leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes, she thought of her recent talk with Morgan. She noticed that he looked over at Reid when he mentioned how, luckily, the dreams that the job of a profiler gave them would go away. Seaver wondered what was going on in the young genius' head these days. Obviously, like the rest of the team, the loss of Prentiss was on his mind, but there was also something else. Before the whole Ian Doyle thing started, he had been avoiding the looks the team had been giving him. He was literally hiding in the dark. It was especially happening during that case in Miami, but then she thought to when he had asked her about the weather before they had landed there. Maybe he was just sensitive to sunlight, but there could have been more to it.

Seaver didn't want to dwell on it too much. If she did, she would probably start prodding Reid every time she saw him, which would probably make him feel even worse. But if she didn't, she would probably start avoiding him, and then he may start wondering what was going on with her that was only affecting him personally.

She decided it was silly to worry about Reid. Whatever his problems were, that was his business. And if he was willing to tell her something about it, then she would embrace him with open arms. But for now, she would let him work at his own pace, ask him how he was doing once in a while, and keep it as casual as she could. In the meantime, it was probably a good idea that she start to get some sleep.

With that, she let the music take her into another world of dreams and colours and Adam Levine*.

Colours? Had she been transported into Garciaworld?

Take it, take it all, take all that I have.
