Implicated…A cinny-ster fic
Keeping Reid out if Jail
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!

Keeping Reid Out of Jail
Chapter 9
Morgan told Reid they had to go to the BAU but he didn't tell him why. He sat in the truck leaning up against the door and he looked like a little kid. Morgan felt like he was leading a lamb to slaughter and he thought again about just disappearing with Reid. Go into hiding until the team figured this out. He knew it was irrational but he wanted to protect him from what was coming. Morgan had a feeling this would ruin Reid and he would never survive this. To go to jail Reid would be easy prey for anyone who wanted to… Morgan cut that line of thinking out of his head. He couldn't let Reid go to jail. As soon as they pulled into the parking deck of the BAU Morgan turned off the truck and faced Reid.
"What is it Morgan? I know you are keeping something from me. Just say it."
"Lori Brenner is dead. Did you know her?"
"Yes she has my wallet doesn't she? And they think I killed her. Are you going to be the one who arrests me?"
Morgan should have known Reid would figure it out.
"They found her body behind the book store, didn't they?"
"Reid how do you know that?" Morgan looked frightened.
"Morgan you promised to tell me the truth. Tell me everything."
Morgan swallowed. "You know details about her murder don't you? Why do you know that? Reid I can't help you if you won't talk to me.
"I know where her body was found because that is where Megan came from when she darted out in front of my car. I don't know anything else. I swear."
"Where were you today Reid?"
"I took a cab to get my car and I drove around. I didn't go anywhere really, I sat in the car most of the time. And then I went home."
"What else, I know there is something else."
Reid sighed. Morgan knew him to well. He was having trouble admitting it; they had never talked about this before. Finally he said just above a whisper, "I went to see someone I used to know. I only thought about it Morgan I didn't buy any I swear."
"Jesus Christ Reid, you better not have any drugs on you or in your system!"
"I…I don't! I fight the cravings I try to ignore them and this was the first time I got this close to buying anything. I swear Morgan search me. I didn't kill that girl!" Reid's hands were shaking and soon his whole body joined in.
"Reid we are going to process you and you are suicidal."
"I'm not. I'm not going to kill myself."
"Spencer, damn it listen to me you are. You want to kill yourself."
Finally it made sense to Reid; Morgan was trying to keep him from going into jail, in mass population.
