Note: When I started writing this, I knew where it was going but my plans have sparked a large debate in my household. I am now seeing many directions the story could take. So, dear readers, I am asking for your help. What do you think will or should happen next? I'm dying to know. You know the unsub, you know his reasons. What do you think will happen to Reid before his teammates find him? The only thing I won't do it kill him off. He will not be dismembered and scattered across Ohio. Thank you all in advance.

When Reid comes to, he is confused and quickly tries to take stock of his surroundings. He's not sure what he expected after being drugged and kidnapped but it sure wasn't this. He first notices that although he is tied up, he is on a soft bed under very cozy blankets. He is in what appears to be a hunting cabin decorated by Martha Stewart. It's not that the décor is feminine per se but there is a definite décor which isn't what he would expect from beer swilling macho types. Reid tries to shift around to see more of his surroundings but his hands are tied behind his back and somehow attached to his ankles which are tied together. Nothing is tied tightly enough to hurt and he isn't in any discomfort but he cannot move very freely either.

Stanley (calling in from the other room): Tyler, is that you? It's about time you woke up sleepy head.

Reid tries to stay very still hoping Stanley won't come to check on him but it is too late. Stanley soon appears in the doorway.

Stanley: Well, good morning sunshine. Did you sleep well?

Reid: Yeah, being drugged has that effect on me.

Stanley (laughs): Silly. Ooh, breakfast is almost ready.

Spencer's mind goes back to the previous morning and Maggie humming blissfully as she prepared him breakfast. Could that really only have been yesterday? Reid breathes deeply. He has to keep himself in the moment. So that is what this is all about. This Tyler that Stanley keeps talking about must have been his lover. Reid made a decision quickly to try to play into Stanley's delusion as long as he could and hope that would stall Stanley until the team could find him in time.

Stanley: Look, Tyler, pancakes!

Reid: They look wonderful. But I can't eat like this.

Reid moves his shoulders to indicate he is talking about his bindings.

Stanley: You just relax, I'll feed you. I'm just so happy I found you and got you away from that terrible man you were with.

Reid had forgotten about Morgan.

Reid: That man, is he okay?

Stanley: He'll live. It was just a flesh wound. Don't worry about him. We're together now. You just eat now, Tyler. You're so thin.

Reid: I…I guess I just needed you to take care of me.

Reid allows himself to be fed. He hadn't realized until then how long it had been since he had eaten. When breakfast is finished, Reid knows he has to get Stanley away from him for a little while.

Reid: I'm so tired. I guess I haven't had a good night's sleep in a long time. Do you mind?

Stanley: Of course not, Tyler. You rest; such circles under your eyes. I'll check on you in a little while.

After Stanley leaves the room, Reid's mind races trying to figure a way out. Where is the team? For that matter, where is he?

--------------------------

Morgan wakes up feeling as if his head had been filled with cotton. He shifts to start to get up and the pain shoots through his arm. At that moment everything comes back into focus for him. Morgan grabs his phone.

Garcia: Speak to me darlin'.

Morgan: You're not going to like this one, Mama. I've been shot and I can't find Reid.

Garcia: Shot?

Morgan: Just in the arm. I need you to focus for me now and hone in on the GPS on Reid's phone.

Garcia: I've got his phone and yours and according to this, if you take two steps to your left, you'll trip over the good doctor.

Morgan looked at the ground to his left and sure enough, there is Reid's phone as well as his gun.

Morgan: Damn! Penelope, the rest of the team needs to get here ASAP.

-----------------------

Back at the cabin, Reid is still trying to piece together his whereabouts and how to get away from them. He sees a shadow in the doorway and knows Stanley is near. Reid tries to feign sleep. Stanley enters the room and lies down next to Reid. He kisses the side of Reid's face. Reid is surprised by this and his eyes fly open.

Stanley: There you are. I thought you were going to sleep the day away.

Reid: It's just so nice and safe here.

Reid hopes that he is sounding convincing. He's seen up close and personal what happens when Stanley's delusions are challenged.

Stanley: You always did like it here at the cabin. We had some good times here, Tyler.

Reid: We could make some new memories now.

Reid is trying desperately not to flinch as Stanley strokes his face and hair. It is all Reid can do to not squirm away when Stanley kisses him on the lips.

Reid: I wish I could hold you.

Stanley: I wish that too. We'll have to see about that.

------------------------------------

At the farm, Hotch and J.J. are the last members of the team to arrive. Hotch walks over to where Morgan is sitting at the back of an ambulance having his arm bandaged.

Hotch: What in the hell happened here, Morgan?

Morgan: The unsub must have been hiding off the side of the driveway. There was a syringe recovered behind a tree along with Reid's scarf. It's been sent to the lab already. I saw Reid wasn't with me anymore and before I could even move to look for him, I got shot and drugged.

Hotch: What about Gary?

Rossi and Prentiss are just walking up.

Rossi: Gary's alive. We found him in the kitchen. Looks like the unsub forgot about Gary when he saw Reid.

Hotch: How is he?

Rossi: He was repeatedly and brutally raped. Reid must have been right about arousal disorder. Apparently Stanley can't ejaculate without cutting his sexual partner. The cuts on Gary are fairly superficial.

Hotch: So what did you learn about Stanley?

Prentiss: He seems under the delusion that the men and boys that he abducts are a former lover, Tyler Wharton. We found an obituary for Tyler framed next to a picture of the two of them together. He died six months ago.

Rossi: He's been trying to rebuild Tyler with the missing parts.

J.J.: So what's going to happen to Reid?

Morgan: We're going to find him, that's what.
