Implicated…A cinny-ster fic
Who can you trust if you can't trust you best friend?
As always I do not own any part of CBS, ABC, Criminal Minds or the characters of the show. All original characters are of my own imagination and any resemblance to living or deceased persons is purely coincidental. For entertainment purposes only.
And a huge thank you to a special person who fed this monster and inspired this story. Thank you for letting me have the initial idea and run with in my own cinny-ster way!
And big time thanks to all of you, (you know who you are) who help me daily with reading and suggesting helpful ways to improve the stories I attempt to write. With out the reader and the reviews I would never do this, so Thank You from the bottom of my heart!

Who Can You Trust
Chapter 6
Seconds turned into minutes and Morgan felt as if he was about to die. Reid's silence was deafening and damning. Finally Morgan had enough he got up and grabbed Reid by the biceps pulling him off the couch. "Stand up!"
Reid did as he was told. Morgan went to his computer and he turned it on clicking some keys he pulled up the file he had Garcia send him earlier, in it was a graduation picture of Megan Colmbs. The brunette smiled sweetly, she was a beautiful girl with long hair and sparkling brown eyes. Morgan told Reid to come over there. He did and Morgan grabbed him and pushed him closer to the computer. He stood behind Spencer and put his hands on his shoulders pushing down almost holding Reid into place, "Tell me you hurt her? Tell me that! Go ahead Reid; I want to hear how you did it!"
Reid lowered his head but he kept his eyes glue to the screen. Morgan backed away from Reid and then he flew at him spinning him around to face him. "Damn it Spencer!"
"Are you going to hit me Morgan? Go ahead, I don't care anymore."
Morgan stared at Reid. His worst nightmare coming true, the person who he trusted most with his life isn't what he thought he was.
"See Morgan I'm guilty! Even in your eyes I am guilty! I never touched that girl, I could never do that. And yet you think I did! You of all people!" Reid was screaming at Morgan but his voice betrayed him. He was hysterical by the time he said, "Even after we find out who did this, there will be people who will always think I raped that girl!"
If Morgan felt he was sick to his stomach before it was nothing compared to what he felt now. It was as if someone had physically punched him in the chest. He sat down, and buried his hands in his face. He had hurt Reid, his best friend, his little brother, and saying "I'm sorry" wasn't going to be enough.
When writing this part of the story I bounced around the idea of having someone from the team think Reid is guilty and a point that was made to me was the team would trust Reid and give him the benefit of the doubt. But then I thought, they are profilers and as much as they don't want to or try to avoid profiling each other this is a case. Friend or not it is still a case. Morgan would be as usual protecting Reid but his instinct would be, profile and solve the mystery. Reid on the other hand would be paranoid that they don't believe him. Hotch is asking him to stay away from this case, and Reid must give them complete control. In order to do that he needs to know if he can trust them; and he would test them. What Morgan thinks means so much to Spencer so he set a seed of doubt and waits to see how Morgan reacts to it. I think Morgan would react exactly how I wrote it. He would blow up first and then ask questions later. He would have little questions about Reid's innocence in the beginning and he would try to ignore them until Reid compounds it by saying he is guilty. The plot will only grow thicker and I hope you stay till the end. Please enjoy and remember to review. It lets me know you are hanging on white knuckled in anticipation for the next chapter!
