All mistakes are my own

Morgan stayed with Reid as they performed a rape exam. Reid scrunched up his face as the doctor opened the speculum, he tightened his grip on Morgan's hand. All the way to the hospital, he had never let go of Morgan. The paramedics placed an IV in his hand but he didn't let them do anything else. The examination continued, a loud sob echoing from the room as the speculum got removed. The doctor removed his legs from the stirrups. Reid scrambled to put the blanket over his legs. Morgan sat on the edge of the bed and put his arms around Reid. He felt him shake and cry against his chest.

"I'm sorry," Morgan whispered.

"For what?" Reid sniffed as he came away from the hug.

"We didn't find you for a whole year and this happened to you. I already know the answer to the exam. I'm so sorry. When did he start?"

Reid closed his eyes and took deep, slow breaths. "He, um, he started a few days after he took me. For the first few days, he kept me in that hole. It was so dark and he only came down to give me water. I wasn't allowed any food. He dragged me out of there and took me to his bedroom. I was too weak to fight back properly and he raped me. He's been using me for the past year."

"Oh, kid," Morgan said sadly.

"I n-never gave up hope," Reid said before taking in a hitched breath. "I told myself not to break. I've seen m-my mind as a curse sometimes but it saved m-me."

"What are you talking about?"

"When he would hurt me or rape me, I would go into my mind. I remembered the team. I went back to happy times in m-my life to escape. It didn't always work but i-it worked enough. You all kept me sane and helped me with the pain," Reid whispered before he grabbed Morgan's hand tightly. "You can't let him get me. I can't g-go back there. I'd r-rather die. He is a monster, he doesn't have any mercy."

Morgan held Reid's hand firmly. "He won't get you. He'll have to get me through me to get you and I won't let him get to you. I'll kill him. We didn't catch him back at the house. Kid, we all saw the basement and we found draws full of tools."

"I don't want to talk about the tools!" Reid snapped quickly, his eyes wide and darting around the room.

"Okay. We don't have to talk about the tools. Don't worry, kid. We'll get him and we'll make him pay."

"Thank you," Reid said, his chin wobbling.

"Why are you thanking me?"

"For calling me Kid. You have no idea how much I've missed you calling me that."


Hotch and Rossi stood outside of the room where Reid now resided. He refused to sleep and didn't want a sedative. Hotch had warned the doctors and nurses not to force Reid to do anything that he didn't want to do. Morgan stayed with him, he had refused to leave his friend and it comforted Reid having him there.

"He was in hell and we never found him," Rossi shook his head. "God, I can't imagine what he has gone through."

"The doctor won't take too much longer. She can tell us everything."

They waited for a few minutes till Reid's doctor came and spoke with them. "Hello, I'm Dr Stone."

"I'm Agent Aaron Hotchner and this is Agent David Rossi. How is he?"

"Let's go to my office. It's more private."

She led them to her office where they sat down across from her.

"I've completed my tests on Spencer. I also have the DNA results. After examining him, I can tell you that he has experienced both physical and sexual trauma over the last year. He's been beaten recently but nothing broken. However, over the last year or so he's had broken bones but they set properly and healed. His left and right arm got broken at least one time each. Various fingers and ribs broken as well over the year. He will heal from his recent beating but I'm going to give him a tetanus when he wakes up. He is underweight and he needs to gain weight to help with his recovery."

Hotch took a moment to digest the information. "What about the sexual trauma?"

"He's been raped repeatedly over the last year," Dr Stone nodded. "I have to talk to you about the DNA results. I had them rushed. You told me that only one man held him captive."

"Yes, we know who he is. Why?"

"The semen samples we found. We found two DNA samples. Someone else raped him other than his kidnapper. The lab found out who the other sample belongs to when they performed a rape kit on Timothy Farrow. The other set of DNA belongs to him."


Reid brought the spoon to his mouth, eating quickly. Morgan grabbed his wrist. "Kid, you need to slow down or you'll make yourself sick. No-one will take it away from you."

"I'm sorry," Reid said quietly. "He gave me food but sometimes he made me do things for it. He'd take it away if I took too long."

"He isn't here. You take your time and eat your soup," Morgan smiled gently at him before he became more serious. He watched as Reid finished the bowl of soup "What did he feed you?"

"Water, bread and porridge most of the time. I, sometimes, had mashed potatoes or mashed up banana. That's about it."

Morgan went to speak but the door opened, Hotch and Rossi walked in. Reid flinched violently at the door opening before he saw who had come in. He relaxed and brought the covers over himself.

"Hey, Reid," Rossi smiled gently. "How are you feeling?"

Reid just shrugged.

"Reid, I need to ask you something," Hotch sighed deeply before bringing out six photos. He put them in front of Reid. Looking down at them, Reid's eyes widened. He grabbed the photos and threw them to the floor.

"Why did you do that?" Morgan questioned.

"Spencer," Hotch said seriously. "I need you to answer me truthfully. These men are Lincoln's other victims. They didn't show signs of sexual assault and neither did Timothy. Dr Stone found a semen sample from Timothy in you. What happened?"

They all watched as Reid shook his head and began to cry. He hugged his arms around his stomach.

"Kid, what happened?"

Reid looked to Morgan. "I know who they are and I know they are dead. It wasn't their fault but it still hurt. He put a gun to their heads and forced them to rape me."

"All of them?" Rossi said in shock.

Reid closed his eyes and put his head to his knees. He gave a small nod before his mind went back to a time he just wanted to forget.


"Don't do this!" he begged as he felt Vincent climb on top of him. Vincent had been with the monster and him for a week. He tried to get out of the restraints but it never worked.

"Don't make do this," Vincent cried to the monster. He heard the monster hit Vincent.

"Do this or I kill you," the monster ordered. "I gave you the pill. Do it."

"No," he cried as he felt it on his leg. "I don't want it. Don't do this to me."

"Shut him up."

A hand clamped over his mouth and he felt Vincent lean over him. He screamed as it began.

"Please forgive me," Vincent cried. "I'm so sorry."


He snapped out of the memory when he felt hands shaking him. He looked up and saw Morgan in front of him. "Spencer, are you back with us?" Rossi said.

"I don't want to talk about this. You have your answer."

Reid curled up in the bed and closed his eyes. Moments later, his breathing slowed and he fell into a soft slumber.
